Business.

Overview

We are a telematics services company that provides a suite of real-time voice and data communications services and applications for use in vehicles and are developing additional applications for use within and outside of the automotive industry. These services are enabled through a state-of-the-art communications center designed and built to connect various mobile devices with content, services and call centers. Our system architecture enables us to manage the integration of these components and the associated service delivery in an efficient manner, allowing us to quickly adopt and implement new technologies and services.

Within the automotive industry, our communications center allows for two way voice and data communications to the vehicle and supports, among other things, critical safety and security services as well as location-based services and remote diagnostics. Since November 16, 2009, we have been the exclusive telematics service provider in the United States for all new vehicles sold by Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (“Mercedes-Benz”), and we are now the preferred provider of telematics services for all Mercedes-Benz vehicles purchased prior to November 16, 2009. These services are marketed under the mbrace^® brand and are enabled through a factory-installed hardware device in Mercedes-Benz vehicles. In addition, our In-Drive^® solution offers services to consumers and other third parties through an aftermarket hardware device that we have developed and which we intend to distribute through relationships with companies and organizations with large customer bases for installation in existing vehicles. In August 2010, we entered into an agreement with a leading automotive insurance company to provide our In-Drive telematics services to certain customers of the insurance company and are in active discussions with other distribution partners. Through Networkfleet, Inc. (“Networkfleet”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, we currently offer remote vehicle monitoring and other data services to support owners and operators of fleets of vehicles.

In May 2010, we broadened our connected services beyond the automotive market to include the mobile health and wellness industry with the formation of Lifecomm, LLC (“Lifecomm”), a majority owned subsidiary founded with QUALCOMM Incorporated (“Qualcomm”), a leader in developing and delivering innovative

digital wireless communications products and services, and American Medical Alert Corp. (“AMAC”), a healthcare communications company dedicated to the provision of support services to the healthcare community. Lifecomm intends to design, develop, finance and operate a mobile personal emergency response service which will permit subscribers to initiate requests for emergency assistance services through a wearable device that is able to communicate information to and support voice interactions between the subscriber and an emergency assistance call center for purposes of dispatching first responders to the subscriber’s location. We expect to launch the Lifecomm service offerings in the fourth quarter of 2011.

System Architecture

Our system architecture provides the ability to connect multiple devices, content and services from different providers and seamlessly manage the integration and service delivery. Our state-of-the-art communications center consists of a redundant pair of network operation centers, containing the hardware and associated applications, telephony and data network connections necessary to interface with mobile devices via the wireless carrier networks. An integrated suite of enterprise class applications and proprietary solutions have been configured to provide a robust, customizable platform to allow automakers and other future partners the ability to create customized service offerings that enhance and extend their brands. Our systems have been built and configured for rapid scalability using open standards to offer flexibility while providing for the capability to support millions of subscribers across multiple industries using multiple languages and currencies. This architecture allows us to adapt to new technologies quickly within the automotive industry, as well as allows us to expand our service offerings to other industries. Due to the public safety nature of many of our offerings, high availability of our systems is a primary requirement. Redundancy, fail-over and disaster recovery have been considered as each element (hardware, software and telecommunication) was designed and built.

Mercedes-Benz mbrace

On November 16, 2009, we launched our first automotive manufacturer service offering with Mercedes-Benz. This service offering is marketed by Mercedes-Benz under the mbrace brand. Mercedes-Benz mbrace services bring connectivity to Mercedes-Benz drivers and begin the process of allowing them to customize their in-vehicle experiences to fit their daily needs. Through the mbrace solution, we offer thirty nine features aggregated in the categories of safety and security, navigation and convenience. The services can be accessed quickly and easily from within the vehicle or from any computer through a personalized web portal. Additionally, with the launch of mbrace, we introduced the automotive industry’s first connected mobile application allowing consumers to use several convenience features such as vehicle locate and door lock/unlock from certain smartphones. We continue to work with Mercedes-Benz to expand the mbrace service offering and expect to launch additional features during 2011 and beyond.

In-Drive

We have leveraged our patent portfolio and technology infrastructure to create an aftermarket solution for consumers that we are marketing under the In-Drive brand and which we intend to distribute through relationships with companies and organizations with large customer bases for installation in existing vehicles. The In-Drive solution includes self-installed and dealer-installed hardware options, each designed to operate with our core system architecture and allow customers to experience many of the same connected benefits as vehicle owners with factory-installed telematics units. Through our In-Drive service offering, we intend to provide a broad range of applications, including usage-based insurance, vehicle diagnostics, emergency calling, stolen vehicle location assistance and driver behavior analysis.

In the second quarter of 2009, we launched a pilot program with a leading automotive insurance company using our In-Drive aftermarket hardware device to assess, develop and test a usage-based insurance program. The pilot program was eventually expanded to include more than 1,000 vehicles owned and operated by employees of the insurance company. In the third quarter of 2010, we executed a distribution agreement with the insurance company and expect commercial launch of the program to begin in the third quarter of 2011. Pursuant to the agreement, we will configure our telematics platform to support the program and provide our aftermarket hardware device to customers of the insurance company to enable the delivery of telematics services to both the insurance company and its customers. In addition, we will be responsible for, among other things, certain website development to allow the customers to access program information and maintenance and support of the hardware devices, including warranty.

Networkfleet

Through Networkfleet, we provide fleet operators with a vehicle management solution that includes remote vehicle monitoring and other data services through an aftermarket hardware device installed on existing vehicles. Networkfleet provides a fleet management solution which includes an easy-to-use automatic vehicle location and remote vehicle diagnostics system and is targeted to the approximately 20 million local market commercial fleet customers operating throughout North America. Networkfleet allows fleet managers to monitor driver performance for unauthorized/unsafe usage and improve operating efficiency by providing access to data such as the vehicle’s current location, fuel consumption, mileage, emission compliance status, maintenance alerts and actual driving speed through custom mapping and reporting. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, Networkfleet generated revenues of approximately $35.6 million, $33.0 million and $30.3 million, respectively.

Automotive Telematics Industry

Introduction

Since the mid-1990’s in the United States, consumer awareness and demand have grown dramatically for in-car safety and security applications, navigation systems, diagnostics capabilities and various forms of infotainment integration. The demand for telematics has risen steadily over the past few years as a result of several factors in addition to growing consumer demand. Vehicle manufacturers are looking for solutions that provide connectivity to the car for diagnostics, inventory tracking and the eventual need to update the on-board computers. Regulatory agencies are placing more emphasis on diagnostics, emissions and traffic-based navigation solutions, each of which are significantly enhanced with telematics services. And finally, manufacturers see telematics as an opportunity to innovate by offering new services within the vehicle on a frequent basis without having to deploy new hardware or physically touch the car.

With domestic automakers increasingly seeking value-added services to attract car buyers, in-vehicle telematics solutions have been moving from a premium service in limited luxury models to a standard feature found in many vehicles. Industry analyst iSuppli Corporation (“iSuppli”) estimated that, in 2009, 30% of vehicles sold in the United States and 20% of vehicles sold globally had an embedded telematics device installed. iSuppli

expected the United States market, with an estimated 60% of the world’s telematics users, to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 17% as demand for telematics technology and services increases. ABI Research predicted that telematics capabilities will be standard in every vehicle sold in the United States by 2015.

Competitive Landscape

Telematics services providers compete directly for long-term telematics services relationships with automakers. Some of these solutions interface with “embedded,” or factory-installed, devices in the vehicle while others involve aftermarket products, such as personal navigation devices (“PNDs”) or tethered connectivity through a smartphone. As a general rule, factory-installed solutions offer a wider range of services given the integration within the vehicle. Other parties, such as wireless phone and other handheld device providers, offer limited services and products that partially overlap with the services provided by telematics companies.

Telematics Services Providers

Telematics services providers in the United States include OnStar, Wireless Car and ATX Group. Of these telematics service providers, OnStar, a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Motors, is the most well-known, with over 6 million subscribers in the United States, Canada and China. OnStar focuses its service offerings around safety and security applications, including roadside assistance, emergency help following an airbag deployment and stolen vehicle tracking. OnStar has also introduced additional services, such as stolen vehicle slow-down and remote vehicle diagnostics. We view OnStar’s success as being supportive of the broader telematics market as it has increased consumer awareness and appreciation of telematics services and illustrates the consumer’s willingness to pay monthly subscription fees for the services provided. Additionally, General Motors has been vocal about the internal benefits OnStar provides the General Motors engineering teams, resulting in significant annual savings, and thereby encouraging other automakers to consider adding telematics capabilities to their vehicles. OnStar’s advertising support for its solutions has produced almost 100% recognition of the OnStar brand among new car buyers in the United States. Although OnStar offers similar services to ours, it largely offers its services only to owners and lessees of vehicles sold by General Motors and therefore has not historically competed directly with us for telematics services contracts from other automakers. In press reports, OnStar executives have indicated that OnStar is exploring offering its services to other vehicle manufacturers. In addition, in January 2011, OnStar announced that it would launch a consumer oriented aftermarket product to be distributed through retail channels.

ATX Group, which was acquired by Cross County in 2008, currently provides services to Toyota, BMW, Mercedes-Benz (vehicles sold in the United States prior to November 16, 2009 or in Canada), PSA Peugeot Citroen and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. Mercedes-Benz terminated its contract with ATX Group, effective on November 15, 2009. Starting on November 16, 2009, we became the provider to all new Mercedes-Benz vehicles manufactured for the United States market, and we are now the provider of choice for all Mercedes-Benz customers who purchased their vehicle prior to November 16, 2009.

Aftermarket Fleet Telematics Services Providers

There are over 75 aftermarket telematics suppliers that provide GPS tracking capabilities for fleets of vehicles. The market is segmented based on the type of fleet and the type of functionality required. These segments include, among others, long-haul trucking, service vehicles, municipalities, construction, school bus and emergency service vehicles. The suppliers range from Qualcomm, which is a major supplier to long haul truck fleets, to numerous small suppliers with simple web applications and no intellectual property. Networkfleet is one of the largest suppliers that serve the local fleet market, which includes cars, light-duty trucks and heavy-duty trucks. Our major competitors for aftermarket fleet telematics services are Trimble Mobile Resource Management, Fleetmatics, Discrete Wireless and Teletrac.

Overlapping Services and/or Products

Various services and/or products overlap and consequently indirectly compete with telematics services. Such services and/or products include connected navigation systems, mobile communications, such as cellular telephones and PDAs, and providers of factory-installed, in-vehicle communications and entertainment systems.

Services

We offer a comprehensive suite of service applications that will allow us and third parties with which we have strategic relationships to achieve market differentiations. We offer consumer services directly to end-user consumers and to fleet operators, automakers, dealers, the insurance industry, location-based advertisers and users of traffic probe data through our enterprise service offerings.

Consumer Service Offerings

We intend to offer five categories of consumer service offerings: safety and security, navigation, convenience, diagnostics and infotainment. We launched our initial consumer service offering on November 16, 2009 with safety and security applications, including automatic crash notification, emergency calling, stolen vehicle location assistance and remote door unlock/lock as the core service set. Our current consumer service offering also includes both premium services such as voice delivered traffic information, point of interest and destination downloads into on-board navigation systems, concierge services, as well as a mobile application for iPhones and certain other smartphones that enable subscribers, through their smartphones to, among other things, lock/unlock their vehicle doors, locate their vehicle, manage their mbrace account, contact Mercedes-Benz roadside assistance and view the contact information for their preferred dealers. Additional consumer services are being actively developed by us or our partners and are expected to launch within the next 12 months.

Safety and Security. Our products are anchored by traditional safety and security features, including automatic crash notification, emergency calling, stolen vehicle location assistance, roadside assistance, tripped alarm notification, emergency messaging and emergency management. Through an emergency call relay center operated by our partner, Intrado Inc., we utilize trained emergency response specialists that are certified by the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials and National Emergency Number Association and have direct public safety experience as firefighters, emergency medical technicians or police officers.

Navigation. We utilize our connectivity to the vehicle to offer unique combinations of off-board server-based and vehicle-based navigation services, including the ability for the vehicle owner to download destinations and other points of interest into the vehicle’s navigation system from third party websites and operator provided route assistance. To complement traditional navigation features such as turn-by-turn directions, we expect to create several personalized navigation features to enhance the customer navigation experience such as the integration of real-time traffic data, a comprehensive list of up-to-date points of interest, geo-tagging and preferred daily routes.

Convenience. Our convenience services provide the vehicle owner an enhanced ownership experience and assistance in interacting with his or her vehicle. These services currently include access to 24-hour concierge services. Future offerings are expected to include personal calling using the embedded cellular phone, Bluetooth enabled hands-free calling, hands-free audible e-mail, family locate/geo-fencing.

Diagnostics. Our diagnostics services are planned to allow the vehicle owner to manage the maintenance and care of the vehicle proactively, saving time and money in the future. These services include systematic communications regarding status of vehicle systems, maintenance reminders, recall notifications, interactive user manuals, online diagnostic analysis, engine check emails and the ability for the vehicle owner to contact his or her preferred service location to schedule maintenance. In addition, we are working with regulators to develop a remote emissions program that would continuously check emissions metrics and notify the vehicle owner if the vehicle is not compliant, improving not only the “health” of the vehicle but also the environment. The United

States Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy figures indicate that as many as 10% of vehicles in the United States are out of compliance with emissions standards, suggesting that the potential benefits of achieving 100% compliance could result in annual savings of as much as 6 billion gallons of gasoline, or 300 million barrels of oil—equivalent to reducing consumption in the United States by as much as 4%. At today’s prices, the cost savings exceed $20 billion per year as well as eliminate over 10 million tons of greenhouse gasses and pollutants, up to 10% of today’s North American pollution emissions. This service is offered on a limited basis today to Networkfleet’s fleet customers in California.

Infotainment. We plan to combine information and entertainment into a suite of services which provide access to customized and location-specific information, such as sports, weather, news, gas price, traffic information, media commerce and social networking. Via Bluetooth, a USB port or our web portal, we intend to allow a vehicle owner to synchronize data from an MP3 player, a PDA, cell phone or other similar device with the vehicle which allows for access to stored music, address books, calendars and email.

Enterprise Service Offerings

We currently expect to support enterprise offerings to six key categories of users: fleet operators, automakers, automotive dealerships, the insurance industry, location-based advertising and users of traffic probe data.

Fleet Operators. Through Networkfleet, we provide an aftermarket wireless fleet management solution, including an easy-to-use automatic vehicle location and remote vehicle diagnostics system. Networkfleet targets the North American local fleet market, a market of approximately 20 million commercial vehicles that is largely composed of small fleets. Networkfleet’s main product allows fleet managers to cost effectively monitor driver performance for unauthorized/unsafe usage, as well as data such as current location, fuel consumption, mileage, emission status, and actual driving speed through custom mapping and reporting. Through our relationships with automakers to factory-install hardware devices in their vehicles, we expect to increase our penetration of the local fleet market by leveraging Networkfleet’s brand and expertise to sell similar services which can be activated over the air without the need for installation of aftermarket hardware.

Automakers. We believe that the value proposition to the automaker comes in many forms: product differentiation through innovative technology, connectivity to vehicles, remote quality and diagnostic capabilities and improved tools for better customer and vehicle management. We intend to work with our automaker partners to identify cost savings opportunities using real-time data collected from vehicles. The collection of real-time diagnostic information from vehicles is considered by automakers to provide valuable insight on the performance of numerous vehicle systems and parts allowing the automaker to improve the quality of its vehicles more efficiently than is possible today. Furthermore, as we provide connectivity with the vehicle’s local area network that supports communication among other vehicle control units (i.e., CAN bus systems), we expect to be able to support an automaker’s upgrade of vehicle software, avoiding costly recalls and without the consumer having to bring the vehicle into a dealership. We intend to also offer tools to maintain contact with the vehicle owner through our service offerings, web portal and smartphone application, which will help the automaker sustain its relationship with the customer following the lease or purchase of a vehicle.

Dealers. We intend to provide dealers with numerous revenue and cost savings opportunities. Using location tracking assistance leveraging data from either a factory-installed telematics device or our In-Drive aftermarket hardware device, dealers will be able to track their vehicle inventory and guard against theft, thus reducing insurance costs. Real-time diagnostic information is expected to enable dealers to be proactive in contacting vehicle owners, subject to a vehicle owner’s prior consent, regarding preventative maintenance before a more costly problem arises. Furthermore, dealers are expected to be able to manage the schedule of their service bays more efficiently as issues can be diagnosed prior to the arrival of the vehicle. Early diagnosis of problems also allows for more efficient parts inventory management as items necessary for upcoming

maintenance requests can be ordered in advance. Also, similar to the automaker, dealers are expected to be able to leverage our access to the customer and communicate with the vehicle owner via our web portal and smartphone application.

Insurance Industry. The insurance industry has long considered usage-based or “pay as you drive” insurance as an area of promise. Today, several leading automotive insurance providers are developing products that offer dynamic rating as a function of the vehicle owner’s driving behavior incorporating characteristics such as miles driven, speed, sudden starts and stops, time of day and location. To this end, we have contracted with a leading automotive insurance company to assess, develop and test a usage-based insurance program. In the second quarter of 2009, we launched a pilot program with this insurance company using our In-Drive aftermarket hardware device. The pilot program was expanded to include more than 1,000 vehicles owned and operated by employees of the insurance company. In the third quarter of 2010, we executed a distribution agreement with the insurance company and expect commercial launch of the program in the third quarter of 2011.

Traffic Probe Data Users. We believe that, through Networkfleet, we are currently one of the largest providers of real-time traffic probe data on the market today. Three of the leading traffic data aggregators currently purchase our probe data as an input for their real-time and predictive traffic information products offered nationwide. As our installed vehicle base grows, we expect to have the most accurate source and network of real-time GPS probe data on the market, greatly enhancing data collected via helicopters, government sensors or other secondary tools. We expect this data to be sold to third parties for their traffic products as well as be incorporated into our own navigation product.

Automaker Relationships

At present, nearly all automobile manufacturers selling vehicles in the United States are considering implementing, or have plans to implement, a telematics solution. The underlying factors driving this interest by automakers are emerging customer demand, the potential for product differentiation and the awareness of numerous benefits to the automaker and its dealers in the form of cost savings and customer relationship tools. We currently have a long-term contract with Mercedes-Benz to be its exclusive telematics service provider for all new vehicles leased or sold in the Unites States beginning on November 16, 2009, and we are now the preferred provider of telematics services for all Mercedes-Benz vehicles leased or sold prior to November 16, 2009. We are pursuing opportunities with many of the other automakers serving the United States market, other than General Motors (the parent corporation of OnStar).

Until the second quarter of 2009, we also had a contract to be the telematics service provider in the United States for Chrysler LLC, now known as Old Carco LLC (“Old Chrysler”). On April 30, 2009, Old Chrysler filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the United States bankruptcy code. On June 10, 2009, substantially all of Old Chrysler’s assets were sold to Chrysler Group LLC (“New Chrysler”), a group whose members include Italian automaker Fiat SpA, the United Auto Workers union and the United States government. At a hearing held on July 16, 2009, Old Chrysler rejected certain contracts, including our telematics services contract with Old Chrysler, and therefore, our contract was terminated. We had been in negotiations with New Chrysler concerning a new telematics services agreement. However, the parties reached an impasse in the negotiations, and as a result, we discontinued working with New Chrysler to deploy our hardware and launch our services as previously planned.

Mercedes-Benz Agreement

Telematics Services

Under our agreement with Mercedes-Benz, we provide telematics services under the mbrace brand to all new Mercedes-Benz vehicles sold or leased in the United States market. In addition, as Mercedes-Benz’s preferred provider of telematics services, we are working with Mercedes-Benz to provide the opportunity for paying subscribers to the Mercedes-Benz service formerly marketed as TeleAid who purchased or leased their

vehicle prior to November 16, 2009 to transition to our service platform, although such decision is at the subscriber’s option. We also have the ability to sell services to owners of Mercedes-Benz vehicles purchased or leased prior to November 16, 2009 which are capable of receiving telematics services but who do not presently subscribe for any service.

Under the mbrace brand, we provide safety and security services, remote door lock and unlock, electronic operator manuals, automatic alarm notification, direct voice connection to a preferred dealer, direct voice connection to Mercedes-Benz, automatic maintenance calls and premium services such as voice delivered traffic information, point of interest and destination downloads into on-board navigation systems and concierge services. In addition, we launched a mobile application for iPhones and certain other smartphones that enables purchasers of most new Mercedes-Benz vehicles as well as many legacy customers who subscribe to our mbrace service, through their smartphones, to lock and unlock their vehicle doors; locate their vehicle; view their mbrace account information; contact Mercedes-Benz roadside assistance, the mbrace response center and Mercedes-Benz Financial’s client care center; search for local Mercedes-Benz dealers; and view the contact information for their preferred Mercedes-Benz dealer. Subject to the consent of Mercedes-Benz, we will also be able to provide additional approved services. We will be required to provide our services to end-use consumers in accordance with specified standards and service levels. The agreement also allocates between us and Mercedes-Benz certain costs and expenses related to the provision of telematics services to end-use consumers.

Termination

Our agreement with Mercedes-Benz is scheduled to expire on June 16, 2016. Under the agreement, Mercedes-Benz may terminate the agreement with us upon the substantial breach of any of our material obligations, including the failure to satisfy certain customary automotive developmental milestones to the extent we are providing hardware to Mercedes-Benz and to maintain certain minimum service level standards. The service level standards under the agreement relate primarily to limitations on how timely our call center agents answer calls from vehicles. As these service level standards are in line with service levels currently maintained by our call center partners, management believes that we will be able to meet or exceed such requirements. Upon the expiration or termination of the agreement, we will retain the ability to continue to provide telematics services to certain then current subscribers and may renew and enter into new subscription agreements with certain other end-use consumers.

Subscriptions

Under our agreement with Mercedes-Benz, we are responsible for entering into subscription agreements with, and the billing of, vehicle owners. We are required to institute reasonable or specified protocols with regard to the telematics services we provide end-use consumers. Our agreement with Mercedes-Benz additionally allocates the responsibilities for setting and distributing the proceeds from end-use consumer subscriptions fees between the parties.

Vehicle and Subscriber Data

Under our agreement with Mercedes-Benz, the obligation to provide, and the rights to receive and use, vehicle and subscriber data are allocated between the parties. The agreement also provides for end-use consumer consent for the transmission of vehicle and subscriber data between the parties and from the parties to third parties.

Intellectual Property, Trademarks, Indemnification Rights, Required Insurance and Audit Rights

Under our agreement with Mercedes-Benz, the ownership of intellectual property developed during the term of the agreement is allocated between the respective parties and each party agrees to respect the trademarks of the other party. The agreement also imposes specific indemnification obligations between the parties, requires us to maintain certain insurance policies and provides certain audit rights.

Lifecomm

In May 2010, we broadened our connected services beyond the automotive market to include the mobile health and wellness industry with the formation of Lifecomm, a majority owned subsidiary founded with Qualcomm and AMAC. Lifecomm intends to design, develop, finance and operate a mobile personal emergency response service which will permit subscribers to initiate requests for emergency assistance services through a wearable device that is able to communicate information to and support voice interactions between the subscriber and an emergency assistance call center for purposes of dispatching first responders to the subscriber’s location. Lifecomm expects to launch its service offerings in the fourth quarter of 2011 through a Value Added Reseller Agreement with AMAC. Lifecomm is in active discussions with other potential distribution partners and also expects to pursue a direct to consumer distribution strategy.

Unlike previous generations of personal emergency response systems which utilize a customer’s landline telephone, the Lifecomm device operates on a cellular network which allows the service to work when the customer is outside of the home. The solution will consist of a wearable lightweight device which can be worn as a watch, pendant or belt clip and will provide users with a convenient, one-button connection to an emergency assistance call center. Inside the device, a cellular modem will enable wireless voice and data communications and embedded GPS combined with other sensors will enable location-based tracking and monitoring of the person wearing the device. A personalized web portal for the user and/or caregiver will provide access to information about user activity and location.

Lifecomm LLC Agreement

Under the terms of the limited liability company agreement governing Lifecomm (the “LLC Agreement”), each of the initial members provided cash and/or immediate and future in-kind contributions to Lifecomm. Specifically, in exchange for approximately 54% of the membership interests of Lifecomm, we entered into (i) an Infrastructure Access Agreement with Lifecomm pursuant to which we will provide access to our telematics platform and infrastructure which will enable Lifecomm to provide service to its customers and (ii) a Services Agreement with Lifecomm pursuant to which we will provide, over the next six years, $10.9 million of in-kind selling, general and administrative services to support the venture. In addition, we agreed to enter into a Telematics Services Agreement that will include, among other things, a per user per month fee for wireless connectivity, billing, portal access and other associated services. In exchange for approximately 36% of the membership interests, Qualcomm (i) provided $6.0 million of cash, (ii) entered into a Know-How License Agreement pursuant to which Lifecomm licensed certain “know-how” previously developed by Qualcomm and also provided Lifecomm access to the LIFECOMM name and (iii) a Services Agreement with Lifecomm pursuant to which Qualcomm will contribute a portion of the value of certain future engineering and project management services, up to an agreed upon aggregate value. Finally, in exchange for approximately 10% of the membership interests, AMAC (i) provided $4.0 million of cash and (ii) entered into a Value Added Reseller Agreement pursuant to which AMAC will be a preferred distributor of Lifecomm’s products and services. In addition, pursuant to the LLC Agreement, each member agreed to fund its pro rata share of a $2.0 million stand-by equity commitment for Lifecomm’s benefit. Assuming Lifecomm draws the entire commitment, we will be required to provide approximately $1.1 million of cash.

Lifecomm is governed by a board of directors which is comprised of three members designated by us, two members designated by Qualcomm and one member designated by AMAC. The LLC Agreement requires supermajority approval of the board of directors for certain actions, including, among other things, approval of the annual budget, increases in the capital of Lifecomm, issuances of convertible securities, debt obligations in excess of a certain threshold, certain investments and certain changes to Lifecomm’s executive management team during the eighteen months following formation. The LLC Agreement requires supermajority approval of the members for certain actions, including, among others, modifications to the LLC Agreement, addition of other members, modifications to the distribution policy, specified capital events, entering into or terminating any agreement related to Lifecomm’s intellectual property rights or the purchase or transfer of technology other than

in the ordinary course of business, any winding-up dissolution or voluntary liquidation of Lifecomm (which in certain circumstances requires unanimous approval), an asset sale or other material disposition, certain transactions with affiliates, changes in the size of the board of directors and investments above a specified threshold outside of the ordinary course.

Each of the initial members have preemptive rights with respect to future issuances of securities by Lifecomm, as well as rights of first offer, drag-along rights and tag-along rights on transfers of securities by the other members. In addition, for a two year period beginning on May 12, 2014, any member (or group of members) holding at least 25% of the membership interests in Lifecomm will have the right to demand either an auction for the sale of Lifecomm or an initial public offering of Lifecomm. Should Lifecomm fail to achieve either of these liquidity events within 180 days of the demand, then to the extent at such time we hold at least 50% of the outstanding membership interests of Lifecomm and have publicly traded common stock, each other member will be entitled on a one-time basis to exchange all of its membership interests in Lifecomm for shares of our common stock.

Research and Development

For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we incurred research and development expenses of approximately $11.6 million, $30.5 million and $33.6 million, respectively. Additionally, for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we capitalized approximately $3.4 million, $14.3 million and $13.3 million of software development costs which, as the software is ready for its intended use, is amortized over the expected useful life of the software. Through the year ended December 31, 2009, these research and development expenditures relate primarily to the development of our factory-installed telematics solution, including the development of the network operation center, factory-installed hardware devices and other back office systems. During the year ended December 31, 2009, we ceased development of factory-installed devices. Our current research and development expenditures relate primarily to the creation of new applications for the mbrace and In-Drive service offerings, the engineering of new generations of our In-Drive and Networkfleet aftermarket hardware devices and the design of the first generation Lifecomm wearable devices.

Intellectual Property

We have established a strong intellectual property portfolio of patents and pending patents addressing a broad range of services. Key patents in the portfolio cover both the methods and processes of wireless communications from the vehicle for diagnostics, emissions performance and fuel economy, as well as technology that connects to the vehicle’s on-board diagnostic connector (for aftermarket installations) to accomplish the same. We believe that portions of the portfolio in both the vehicle diagnostics and emissions areas are particularly strong and that those patents may be a meaningful source of revenue, a barrier to entry for other service providers in these areas, or provide cross-licensing opportunities with competitors. We have 22 issued patents and 41 pending patent applications. Of the pending applications, the patent office has allowed one of them. We may be required to protect our intellectual property rights from the unauthorized use by others or may have these rights challenged, invalidated or circumvented.

Approach to Privacy

Our approach to privacy is critical to our ability to gain customer acceptance of our services, while also enabling us to monetize certain of the data that is collected. Our customers, and in particular the consumers and automakers, are sensitive to certain types of information that the system will be able to access. We have retained outside privacy experts to ensure that privacy policies provide our consumers and strategic relationships with the highest level of confidence that customer privacy is maintained, while also permitting the customer, we and our strategic partners to monetize the value of such a data stream. As part of the subscription process, we require consumers to provide us and our automakers with broad rights to data, other than customer personally identifiable information (“CPII”), in order to subscribe. The processes are designed to ensure that sensitive information such as any CPII is highly secure, separate and cannot be associated with the vehicle data that is

collected, unless a specific and separate authorization has been given by the consumer. Similarly, many types of quality and safety information relating to vehicles, to which automakers are acutely sensitive, is similarly accorded the highest level of security, and we expect to be a conduit for providing such data to automakers, rather than collecting it directly, unless otherwise requested specifically by the automaker.

Employees

As of December 31, 2010, we had a total of 316 employees. We believe relations with employees are good, and no employees are represented by a union. Generally, our employees are retained on an at-will basis; however, we have entered into employment agreements with certain key employees.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

Risks Relating to Our Business

To date, we have generated only net losses.

From January 9, 2006 (inception) to December 31, 2010 and for the year ended December 31, 2010, we incurred a net loss of approximately $345.2 million and $87.9 million, respectively, and used cash in operations of approximately $137.8 million and $25.1 million, respectively, in connection with the development and operation of our telematics system and the operations of our Networkfleet and Lifecomm subsidiaries. As a result of our historical net losses and our limited capital resources, our independent registered public accounting firm’s report on our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 includes an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2010, we had unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $16.9 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $445.5 million. Of our consolidated cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, approximately $9.3 million is held by our Lifecomm subsidiary for use in that business. We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments on hand, including the $10.0 million raised in February 2011 through the sale of common stock in a private placement and the issuance of incremental second lien term indebtedness, and the projected cash flows to be generated by our service offerings to Mercedes-Benz vehicles and sales of our In-Drive and Lifecomm products and services, will allow us to continue operations beyond the next twelve months. Since we launched our service offerings to Mercedes-Benz vehicles less than a year and a half ago and expect to launch our In-Drive and Lifecomm products and services later this year, some or all of the assumptions underlying our projections may prove to be materially inaccurate. If so, we cannot assure you that our net losses and negative cash flow will not surpass our expectations, and thus, we may be required to raise additional capital in the future or to reduce our operating expenditures. We have been successful in the past raising capital to address our liquidity needs; however, there is no assurance that we will be successful in the future in obtaining additional financing, if needed, or that we will be able to reduce our operating expenditures. If such additional capital is required and if we are unsuccessful in obtaining additional financing, the value of your investment in our common stock will be adversely affected.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we began generating significant revenue from our service offerings for vehicles with factory-installed hardware and have not yet generated substantial revenue from our In-Drive or Lifecomm service offerings.

Prior to the year ended December 31, 2010, substantially all of our revenues were earned through the sale of Networkfleet’s products and services, and only nominal revenues had been generated from services enabled by factory-installed telematics devices. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we began growing the number of vehicles on our telematics system from our service offerings for Mercedes-Benz vehicles with factory-installed hardware. In addition, we expect to commence commercial launch of our In-Drive aftermarket products and service offering and our Lifecomm products and service offerings later this year. Our ultimate profitability is tied to the success of these efforts. We cannot assure you that we will build our subscriber base in a cost effective or timely manner or enter into additional distribution agreements which will generate material sales of either our

In-Drive or Lifecomm products and service offerings to allow us to successfully generate sufficient revenues to operate profitably. If we fail to do so, our business will be materially and negatively impacted.

Our success depends on the success of Mercedes-Benz with which we have a strategic relationship.

Our service offerings for vehicles with factory-installed hardware are necessarily tied to having relationships with automakers and the success of those automakers. We currently only have a contract with one automaker, Mercedes-Benz, to deliver services to factory-installed telematics devices and have not yet launched either our In-Drive or Lifecomm service offerings. To the extent Mercedes-Benz decreases the volume of vehicles they manufacture for the domestic market, we will have a smaller addressable customer base. We cannot control the decisions of Mercedes-Benz or any other automaker with which we develop a strategic relationship regarding how many vehicles they manufacture or what lines, if any, they cease manufacturing in the face of general economic conditions, market pressures or internal financial demands. A significant decrease in actual production in the future by Mercedes-Benz may have a material and negative impact on our business.

Our key service agreement is with Mercedes-Benz and is subject to numerous risks, including early termination and prolonged reduction in production volume. There can be no assurances we will execute a telematics services contract with an additional automaker which could adversely affect our growth prospects.

We currently have a service agreement to provide our telematics solution to Mercedes-Benz vehicles leased or sold in the United States and expect to generate significant future revenues from this agreement. We have a long-term contract with Mercedes-Benz pursuant to which it has agreed to support the installation of telematics devices in its vehicles and permit us to exclusively provide telematics services to its new customers. If we are unable to meet the performance requirements of the contract and subsequently lose the Mercedes-Benz relationship, it would have a material adverse impact on our business and prospects. If Mercedes-Benz materially lowers its production volume for a prolonged period of time and we did not obtain additional customers or offsetting sources of revenue, our growth prospects would be materially harmed. Our prospects and future revenues may be negatively impacted by a prolonged contraction of demand for the vehicles produced by Mercedes-Benz. If we do not sign an additional agreement with another automaker or do not establish additional lines of business or otherwise expand our existing business, our growth prospects could be materially adversely affected.

Our business and growth may be significantly impacted by events in the overall global economy. Automakers, particularly United States automakers, are facing significant financial and structural challenges, and the automotive industry in general is undergoing a period of reorganization, the effects of which are difficult to predict.

A significant portion of our business and growth depends on the willingness of automakers to install a hardware device in their vehicles which support our service offerings. The business and the results of the automotive industry are tied to industry and general economic conditions. The global economic recession and related turmoil in the global financial system has had and will continue to have an impact on the business and financial condition of automakers. Global economic events and conditions could have a material adverse impact on automakers with which we have a contract or may enter into a contract, causing them to fail to meet their obligations to us. Also, we are subject to the risks arising from changes in legislation and government regulation associated with any such recession or economic slowdown. Any of these events could negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We must meet minimum levels of service.

Our agreement with Mercedes-Benz requires us to maintain certain minimum service level standards. The agreement may be terminated by Mercedes-Benz upon a material breach by us, including upon our failure to

satisfy such service levels. To the extent we fail to meet our material obligations under the contract and it is terminated, our business and prospects would be severely impaired.

Competition for telematics services contracts with automakers is significant.

While we have an exclusive relationship with Mercedes-Benz to provide specified telematics services to new vehicles manufactured by Mercedes-Benz for the United States market, competition for new contracts to provide services similar to our services is significant. Certain of our current and potential competitors, including OnStar, could also have significantly greater name recognition and financial, marketing, management and other resources than we do. They may be able to respond more quickly to changes in customer preferences or devote greater resources to developing and promoting their service offerings. We cannot guarantee that we can maintain our competitive position relative to our current and potential competitors, especially those with greater financial, marketing, management and other resources than we have. If we cannot maintain our competitive position, our growth prospects could be materially adversely affected.

Competition for subscribers could negatively affect our business.

Indirectly, certain of our services compete with services provided by wireless devices such as cellular telephones and carriers of mobile communications, as well as aftermarket telematics providers. As wireless providers in the U.S. market complete their service build-out for location-based services, this competition may increase significantly or could jeopardize the commercial viability of certain of our services. Consumers may opt for certain services offered by wireless carriers, such as navigation, rather than those offered by us. In addition, while we are the exclusive telematics services provider to Mercedes-Benz for all new Mercedes-Benz vehicles sold in the United States, we currently compete with the incumbent service provider, ATX Group, for certain Mercedes-Benz customers who purchased vehicles prior to the start of our contract. Although Mercedes-Benz supports us as the provider of choice for such customers, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in converting such customers to our service offering at the rates we expect or without incurring material additional costs.

We cannot assure you that automakers will expand service offerings beyond traditional telematics services or do so at the rates we expect.

The continued rate of integration of telematics into vehicles, including both traditional safety and security features, such as those we currently offer, and future service offerings, such as diagnostics, navigation with integrated traffic, convenience services and infotainment, is subject to uncertainty. The uncertainty concerning the rate of integration of both traditional and future telematics services stems from a number of issues including:

•

the relative early stage of the industry itself;

•

uncertainties regarding the longer-term appeal of telematics services; and

•

competitive uncertainties, including whether current or future consumer products will materially alter the industry.

Consumer products that are, or could become, direct competition for certain services include location-enabled cellular telephones; PDAs; navigation systems; factory-installed, in-vehicle communications and entertainment systems; and aftermarket telematics equipment.

As a result of these and other issues, automakers may limit the use of telematics services utilizing factory-installed devices to traditional safety and security services, or limit deployment of future services to select brands, models or pricing categories. If automakers do not integrate telematics programs into future automobiles, our business and growth prospects will suffer.

Not all automakers should be regarded as prospects for strategic relationships, since some may resist outsourcing their telematics programs and others may not embrace our approach to telematics services.

Not all automakers will solicit the assistance of an outside service provider to perform the services component of their telematics programs and may decide instead to develop in-house telematics capabilities. If automakers in general, or potential automakers with which we are pursuing strategic relationships, in particular, conclude that the disadvantages of engaging a third-party service provider for assistance outweigh the advantages, our growth prospects will suffer. These automakers may resist using an outside telematics service provider such as us for a number of reasons, including:

•

the risks or perceived risks of providing third-party service providers with access to their proprietary technology or information;

•

a desire to retain control over all consumer-related functions;

•

concerns over the level of service to be expected from a third-party service provider and the ability to properly measure acceptable levels of service; and

•

a belief that the automaker maintains all of the infrastructure, personnel, systems and other resources necessary to manage the program internally.

For those automakers that do outsource telematics, not all will ultimately embrace our approach to telematics services. As a result, not all automakers should be regarded as prospects for strategic relationships.

We expect to launch our In-Drive products and service offering during the year ending December 31, 2011.

While we have performed extensive testing of our In-Drive product and services, we will not launch such products and services until the third quarter of 2011. The launch of the product and services involves logistical efforts and modifications to our systems that are new. Such efforts will place additional burdens on our personnel. There can be no assurances that such efforts and modifications will be satisfactory to our distribution partners or our customers. To the extent we fail to meet our material obligations under existing or future contracts with distribution partners and such contracts are terminated, our business and prospects would be severely impaired. Moreover, even if the contract is not terminated, if we fail to meet our distribution partners’ or our customers’ expectations, our distribution partners may reduce the future business they are willing to do with us, which could have an adverse impact on our prospects.

We expect to complete development, testing and launch of the Lifecomm device and service offering during the year ending December 31, 2011 and will not generate significant revenue from Lifecomm’s service offerings until the year ending December 31, 2012.

To date, all of our revenues have been earned through automotive telematics. As part of our efforts to leverage our existing infrastructure outside of the automotive industry, we formed Lifecomm with Qualcomm and AMAC. Prior to Lifecomm generating any revenues, we have to complete development and testing of the Lifecomm device and launch the service offering which is currently expected in the fourth quarter of 2011. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in such effort. If we fail to do so, it may negatively impact our growth and future prospects.

Our business may be impaired if a third party infringes on our intellectual property rights.

Certain aspects of our service depend, in part, upon intellectual property that we have developed or will develop in the future. Monitoring infringement of intellectual property rights is difficult, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent unauthorized use of our intellectual property and technical know-how. If the intellectual property that we use is not adequately protected, others will be permitted to and may duplicate our service without liability. Others may also challenge, invalidate or circumvent our intellectual property rights, patents or existing sublicenses. In addition, some of the know-how and technology we have

developed and plan to develop will not be covered by patents. Trade secret protection and contractual agreements may not provide adequate protection if there is any unauthorized use or disclosure. Other parties may have patents or pending patent applications which will later mature into patents or inventions which may block our ability to provide some of our services. We may have to resort to litigation to enforce our rights. This activity is expensive, and we may not succeed in any such litigation.

We may become involved in intellectual property or other disputes that could harm our business.

Third parties, including competitors, may already have patents on inventions, or may obtain patents on new inventions in the future, that could limit our ability to provide services in the future. Such third parties may claim that our products or services infringe their patent rights and assert claims against us. In addition, we have agreed in some of our contracts, and may in the future agree in other contracts, to indemnify third parties for any expenses or liabilities resulting from claimed infringements of the proprietary rights of third parties as it relates to the services we provide. We, or third parties that we are obligated to indemnify, may receive notifications alleging infringements of intellectual property rights relating to our business, the provision of our services or the products previously sold by us. If any infringement claim is successful against us, we may be required to pay substantial damages or we may need to seek and obtain a license of the other party’s intellectual property rights. We may be required to redesign those services that use the infringed technology. Moreover, we may be prohibited from selling, using or providing our services that use the challenged intellectual property.

Rapid technological changes could make our services less attractive.

The wireless industry is characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product innovations, changes in customer requirements and expectations and evolving industry standards. If we are unable to keep pace with these changes, our business may be harmed. Products using new technologies, or emerging industry standards, could make our technologies less attractive. In addition, we may face unforeseen problems when developing our services which could harm our business. Because we will depend on third parties to develop technologies used in key elements of our products, more advanced technologies which we may wish to use may not be available to us on reasonable terms or in a timely manner. Furthermore, our competitors may have access to technologies not available to us, which may enable them to produce products of greater interest to consumers or automakers, or at a more competitive cost.

Systems failures or interruptions to our service may have a negative impact on our revenues, damage our reputation and decrease our ability to attract new customers to our service offerings.

Our ability to provide uninterrupted service and high quality customer support will depend on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our computer and communications systems. The systems that we use to integrate the various elements of a telematics program and deliver our services are complex and may contain undetected errors. These errors may not be discovered until after a vehicle model has been launched with our service offering or after consumers begin using the service. Any disruption of our services, computer systems or communications networks, or those of third parties we rely on, could result in the inability of consumers to receive our services for an indeterminate period of time, which could cause us to lose automakers’ confidence or revenue or to face litigation. If we experience frequent or persistent systems failures, our business and prospects may be irreparably harmed.

We may be exposed to potential liability for actual or perceived failure to provide required services.

Because consumers subscribing to our safety and security services rely on us in emergency situations, we may be exposed to potential claims for damages, including special or consequential damages, as a result of an actual or perceived failure of our safety and security services. Our failure or inability to meet a driver’s expectations in the performance of our services, or to do so in the time frame required by the driver, regardless of

responsibility for such failure, could result in liability against us, harm to our business or reputation and/or discourage other automakers from integrating telematics into future vehicles or from engaging us to provide telematics services.

We have significant indebtedness, the terms of which limit the operation of our business, and a failure to generate significant cash flow could render us unable to service such obligations.

As of December 31, 2010, we had outstanding indebtedness with an aggregate principal balance, including interest which has been or will be paid in kind, of approximately $122.1 million, consisting of approximately $76.9 million of senior secured term indebtedness, approximately $16.5 million of second lien term indebtedness, an approximately $5.6 million senior unsecured promissory note and approximately $23.1 million of senior subordinated unsecured promissory notes. The senior unsecured promissory note becomes due and payable on December 31, 2011, and we are required to make scheduled principal payments of approximately $0.5 million on April 15, 2011, approximately $0.8 million on July 15, 2011 and approximately $1.5 million on October 15, 2011 and the balance on December 31, 2011. While we may elect to pay in kind the interest accrued on the second lien term indebtedness and the senior subordinated unsecured promissory notes until the October 1, 2013 maturity date (i.e., with such accrued interest being added to the outstanding principal balance of the term indebtedness), the accrued interest on the senior secured term indebtedness and the senior unsecured promissory note must be paid in cash until their March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2011 respective maturity dates. Our ability to service this indebtedness will be dependent on our ability to generate cash from internal operations or raise equity sufficient to make required payments on such indebtedness. Our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations, and future borrowings may not be available to us under credit facilities in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay this indebtedness and fund operating and liquidity requirements. We may need to refinance all or a portion of this indebtedness on or before maturity; however, we may not be able to refinance any of this indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

In addition, the senior secured term indebtedness bears variable interest at a rate equal to, at our option, (i) 11.00% plus the greater of the London Interbank Rate (“LIBOR”) or 3.00% (pursuant to an agreement with one of the senior secured note holders, the interest rate on senior secured term indebtedness with an original principal amount of $5.0 million cannot exceed 14.00%) or (ii) 10.00% plus the prime lending rate. In the event interest rates rise, the result would be higher interest costs for us.

Furthermore, the senior secured and second lien credit facilities contain restrictive covenants that will limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term best interests. An event of default, including from the failure to comply with the covenants or from the termination of the Mercedes-Benz contract, could, if not cured or waived, result in the acceleration of all of our outstanding indebtedness.

We may require additional financing to fund our operations and execute our business plan.

We cannot assure you that our net losses and negative cash flow will not accelerate and surpass our expectations, potentially significantly, nor can we assure you that we will ever generate any net income or positive cash flow. In light of these net losses and our negative cash flow, we may be required to raise additional capital in the future. This additional financing may take the form of loans under a new credit facility, the issuance of bonds or other types of debt securities, the issuance of equity securities or a combination of the foregoing. Any such financing must either comply with the covenants of our credit facilities, or we will need to obtain waivers from our lenders. Our credit facilities contain covenants that restrict our ability to incur debt and will require mandatory prepayments from the proceeds of an equity financing. Any debt financing we obtain may impose various restrictions and additional covenants on us, which could limit our ability to respond to market conditions, provide for unanticipated capital investments or take advantage of business opportunities, and may subject us to significant interest expense. Additional equity financing may be obtained on terms that are dilutive to the interests of our existing and future stockholders. Debt or additional equity financing may not be available when needed on terms favorable to us or at all, and our failure to attract a sufficient amount of additional debt or equity capital may impair our ability to fund our operations and execute on our business plan.

Substantially all of our assets are used to collateralize our senior secured and second lien credit facilities.

Our senior secured and second lien credit facilities are secured by substantially all of our assets, including cash, inventory and accounts receivable. The credit agreements governing these credit facilities contain various covenants that restrict our business. Noncompliance with any of the covenants without cure or waiver would constitute an event of default under the credit facilities. Upon the occurrence of an event of the default under either credit facility, substantially all of our assets would be subject to liquidation by the creditors, which could result in no assets being left available to the stockholders.

Our expected future growth will place a significant strain on our management, systems and resources.

Our business was formed in January 2006 and has grown quickly. In order to execute our business strategy, we will continue to experience significant growth, which will place a significant strain on our systems, processes, resources, management and other infrastructure and support mechanisms. To manage the anticipated growth of our operations, we will be required to:

•

improve existing and implement new operational, financial and management information controls, reporting systems and procedures;

•

establish relationships with additional vendors, suppliers and strategic partners and maintain existing relationships; and

•

hire, train, manage and retain additional personnel.

To the extent we are unable to assemble the personnel, controls, systems, procedures and relationships necessary to manage our future growth, if any, management resources may be diverted, and our opportunity for success may be limited.

Our inability to identify, hire and retain qualified personnel would adversely affect our business.

Our continued success will depend, to a significant extent, upon the performance and contributions of our senior management and upon our ability to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified management personnel and employees. We depend upon our key senior management to effectively manage our business in a highly competitive environment. If one or more of our key senior managers joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may experience material interruptions in product development, delays in bringing products to market, difficulties in our relationships with automakers, suppliers and customers, and loss of additional personnel, which could significantly harm our business, financial condition, operating results and projected growth.

Additionally, failure to continue to attract and retain qualified management personnel could adversely affect our business and growth prospects. We compete to hire new employees, and we then must train them and develop their skills and competencies. Our operating results could be adversely affected by increased costs due to increased competition for employees, higher employee turnover or increased employee benefit costs. Any unplanned turnover could deplete our institutional knowledge base and erode our competitive position.

Regulations concerning consumer privacy may adversely affect our business.

Certain technologies that we currently support, or may in the future support, are capable of collecting personally-identifiable information and vehicle-specific information such as performance data and error codes. Vehicle-specific information may also reveal personally-identifiable information. We anticipate that as telematics programs continue to develop, in the future it will be possible to collect or monitor substantially more of this kind of information. A growing body of laws designed to protect the privacy of personally-identifiable information, as well as to protect against its misuse, and the judicial interpretations of such laws, may adversely affect the growth of our business. In the United States, these laws could include the Federal Trade Commission

Act, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act, as well as various state laws and related regulations. In addition, certain governmental agencies, like the Federal Trade Commission, have the authority to protect against the misuse of consumer information by targeting companies that collect, disseminate or maintain personal information in an unfair or deceptive manner. In particular, such laws could limit our ability to collect information related to users of our services, to store or process that information in what would otherwise be the most efficient manner, or to commercialize new services based on new technologies. The evolving nature of all of these laws and regulations, as well as the evolving nature of various governmental bodies’ enforcement efforts, and the possibility of new laws in this area, may adversely affect our ability to collect and disseminate or share certain information about consumers and may negatively affect the ability of automakers or dealers to make use of that information. If we fail to successfully comply with applicable regulations in this area, our business and prospects could be harmed.

Consumer avoidance of services which collect, store or use personally-identifiable data could adversely affect our business.

Consumer sentiment regarding privacy issues is constantly evolving. Such consumer sentiment may affect the buying public’s interest in our current or future service offerings. In some cases, consumer groups and individual consumers have already begun to vigorously lobby against, or otherwise express significant concern over, the collection, storage and/or use of personally-identifiable information. Accordingly, privacy concerns of consumers may influence automakers to refrain from adopting telematics programs, especially those which involve more advanced programs, which could in turn harm the overall telematics industry or, depending on our programs, our prospects. Moreover, strong consumer attitudes often precipitate new regulations like the ones described above. If we fail to successfully monitor and consider the privacy concerns of consumers, our business and prospects would be harmed.

Risks Related to Our Organization

An affiliate of Apollo Global Management, LLC beneficially owns a majority of our voting stock.

Affiliates of Apollo Global Management, LLC (“Apollo”), including our controlling stockholder, Communications Investors, LLC (“Communications LLC”), PLASE HT, LLC (“PLASE HT”), Hughes Communications, Inc. (“HCI”) and Hughes Network Systems, LLC (“HNS”), may be deemed to beneficially own 63,517,284 shares of our common stock (including 45,501,064 earn-out shares and 3,000,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of an outstanding warrant), which represents approximately 65% of our voting power. Our board of directors includes four directors who are affiliated with Apollo. Because of their board representation and Communications LLC’s control of our voting power, Apollo is able to indirectly exert considerable influence and control over us, including the appointment of management and the outcome of all matters requiring stockholder approval. Apollo’s affiliates may be able to cause, prevent or delay a change of control of us or a change in the composition of our board of directors and could preclude any unsolicited acquisition of us. In addition, because affiliates of Apollo may substantially determine the outcome of a stockholder vote, Apollo’s affiliates could deprive stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of us, and that voting control could ultimately affect the market price of our common stock. Affiliates of Apollo also hold a significant amount of our outstanding indebtedness. As of December 31, 2010, affiliates of Apollo held approximately $5.9 million (including principal and accrued interest which has been paid in kind) of our outstanding senior secured term indebtedness, approximately $16.5 million (including principal and accrued interest which has been paid in kind) of our outstanding second lien term indebtedness and approximately $23.1 million (including principal and accrued interest which has been, or will be, paid in kind) of our senior subordinated unsecured promissory notes. Further, HNS, also an affiliate of Apollo, held a senior unsecured promissory note with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $5.6 million.

We are a public company and, as such, are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which are expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairing our ability to grow.

We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, are subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and other U.S. federal securities laws, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). Compliance with these obligations requires significant time and resources from our management and our finance and accounting staff and increases our legal, insurance and financial compliance costs. It is time consuming and costly for us to develop, implement and maintain the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Occasionally, we may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance and accounting personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, then we may not be able to obtain the reports from our independent registered public accountant required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which may preclude us from keeping our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) current. Non-current reporting companies are subject to various restrictions and penalties.

We must comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which requires us to document and test our internal controls over financial reporting. Any delays or difficulty in satisfying these requirements could adversely affect our future results of operations and stock price.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires us to document and test the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with an established control framework and to report on our management’s conclusion as to the effectiveness of these internal controls over financial reporting. We are also required to have an independent registered public accounting firm test the internal controls over financial reporting and report on the effectiveness of such controls. Any delays or difficulty in satisfying these requirements could adversely affect future results of operations and our stock price. We may also incur significant costs to comply with these requirements.

We may in the future discover areas of internal controls over financial reporting that need improvement. There can be no assurance that remedial measures will result in adequate internal controls over financial processes and reporting in the future. Any failure to implement the required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could materially adversely affect our results of operations or could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. If we are unable to conclude that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide an unqualified report regarding the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, investors may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could result in a decrease in the value of our securities. In addition, failure to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could potentially subject us to sanctions or investigation by the SEC or other regulatory authorities.

Public company compliance makes it more difficult for us to attract and retain officers and directors.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As we are a public company, these new rules and regulations have increased and may continue to increase our compliance costs in the future and make certain activities more time consuming and costly. As a public company, these new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the future, or we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Our common stock is currently traded on the over-the-counter (OTC) Bulletin Board market, which may generally involve certain risks not present in all securities.

Our securities are currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities. Although the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. oversees the OTC Bulletin Board, market makers of bulletin board securities are unable to use electronic means to interact with other dealers to execute trades, which can cause delays in the time it takes to interact with the market place. Risks associated with trading bulletin board securities may include, among others, limited availability of order information and market data, liquidity risks, and communications risks. Furthermore, for companies whose securities are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, it is more difficult (1) to obtain accurate quotations, (2) to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services generally do not publish press releases about such companies, and (3) to obtain needed capital.

Our stock price may continue to be volatile and may decrease in response to various factors, which could adversely affect our business and cause our stockholders to suffer significant losses.

Our common stock is illiquid, and its price has been and may continue to be volatile in the indefinite future. The price of our stock could fluctuate widely in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:

•

changes in our industry or the auto industry;

•

competitive pricing pressures;

•

our ability to obtain working capital or project financing;

•

additions or departures of key personnel;

•

limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons, whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for our common stock;

•

sales of our common stock;

•

our ability to execute our business plan;

•

operating results that fall below expectations;

•

loss of any strategic relationship;

•

economic and other external factors; and

•

period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us that our board of directors may consider relevant. Further, we are significantly limited in the amount of dividends we can pay by the terms of our senior secured and second lien term indebtedness. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

There is currently a limited trading market for our common stock, and we cannot ensure that a liquid market will be established or maintained.

Trading in our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board began on June 8, 2009, and only a limited market has developed for the purchase and sale of our common stock. We cannot predict how liquid the market for our common stock might become. Therefore, the purchase of our shares must be considered a long-term investment acceptable only for prospective investors who are willing and can afford to accept and bear the substantial risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time. Because there is a limited public market for the resale of our shares, an investor in our common stock may not be able to liquidate his investment, and our shares may not be acceptable as collateral for a loan.

If we fail to remain current in our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board, which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of our shareholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

Companies such as us trading on the OTC Bulletin Board must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and must be current in their reports under Section 13 of the Exchange Act in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. If we fail to remain current in our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of our shareholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

The ability of our stockholders to sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market creates a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and in anticipation of significant sales the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make it more difficult for us to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. Certain of the shares of our common stock issued upon consummation of the Merger were placed into escrow, to be released only if the trading price of our common stock equals or exceeds various prices between $20.00 and $30.50 before March 31, 2014. If any such shares are released from escrow, they will become freely tradable, subject to securities laws.

Performance

The graph below compares the cumulative total return of our common stock from January 28, 2008, the date that our common stock first became tradable, through December 31, 2010 with the cumulative return of companies comprising the Nasdaq Composite Index and the SIC Code Communications Services index. The graph plots the change in value of an initial investment of $100 in each of our common stock, the S&P 500 Index and a peer group selected by us over the indicated time periods and assumes reinvestment of all dividends, if any, paid on the securities. We have not paid any cash dividends, and therefore, the cumulative total return calculation for us is based solely upon stock price appreciation and not upon reinvestment of cash dividends. The stock price performance shown on the graph is not necessarily indicative of future price performance.

The SIC Code Communications Services was chosen because the index contains companies which are in a business similar to ours.

Item 7.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated historical financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ significantly from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those included in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K. Unless the context indicates otherwise, in this section the terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer to HUGHES Telematics, Inc. See the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

We are a telematics services company that provides a suite of real-time voice and data communications services and applications. These services and applications are enabled through a state-of-the-art communications center designed with flexibility to connect various mobile devices with content, services and call centers. Within the automotive industry, our communications center allows for two way voice and data communications to vehicles and supports, among other things, critical safety and security services as well as location-based services and remote diagnostics. Since November 16, 2009, we have been the exclusive telematics services provider in the United States for all new vehicles sold by Mercedes-Benz, and we are now the preferred provider of telematics services for all Mercedes-Benz vehicles purchased prior to November 16, 2009. These services are marketed under the mbrace brand. In addition, our In-Drive solution offers services to consumers or other third parties through an aftermarket hardware device that we have developed and which we intend to distribute through relationships with companies and organizations with large customer or membership bases for installation in existing vehicles.

Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Networkfleet, we currently offer remote vehicle monitoring and other data services with sales generated through a combination of distribution arrangements with large fleet management service providers, a network of resellers and direct sales. Networkfleet’s service offerings are enabled by an aftermarket hardware device that is sold by Networkfleet for installation in vehicles. Owners and operators of a fleet of vehicles use these services to monitor driver performance for unauthorized or unsafe vehicle usage, as well as analyze data such as the current location of a vehicle, fuel consumption, mileage, emissions status and diagnostic trouble codes.

On May 12, 2010, we entered into the LLC Agreement with Qualcomm, a leader in developing and delivering innovative digital wireless communications products and services, and AMAC, a healthcare communications company dedicated to the provision of support services to the healthcare community, forming Lifecomm. Lifecomm intends to design, develop, finance and operate a mobile personal emergency response service which will permit subscribers to initiate requests for emergency assistance services through a wearable device that is able to communicate information to and support voice interactions between the subscriber and an emergency assistance call center for purposes of dispatching first responders to the subscriber’s location. Lifecomm expects to launch its service offerings in the fourth quarter of 2011.

On August 30, 2010, we entered into an agreement with a large insurance company to provide our In-Drive telematics services to certain customers of the insurance company. Pursuant to the agreement, we will configure our telematics platform to support the program and provide our aftermarket hardware device to the insurance company’s customers to enable the delivery of telematics services to the insurance company and the insurance company’s customers. In addition, we will be responsible for, among other things, certain website development to allow the insurance company’s customers to access program information and maintenance and support of the hardware devices, including warranty. Pursuant to the agreement and subject to fulfillment of our obligations thereunder, we will receive minimum aggregate payments from the insurance company of approximately $24.1 million over the next two years for the configuration of our telematics platform to support the program, development of the program website, the final testing and deployment of the hardware device, other program launch activities and the procurement by us of an agreed upon minimum number of hardware devices which we will provide to the insurance company’s customers. We received approximately $5.5 million of such amounts in

the year ended December 31, 2010 and expect to receive an additional $15.0 million in the year ending December 31, 2011 and the remaining balance in the year ending December 31, 2012. In addition, we expect to receive recurring payments from the insurance company’s customers subject to and in connection with their subscription to the offered telematics services. We expect to launch our service to the insurance company’s customers and begin revenue generating activities in the third quarter of 2011.

Merger with Polaris Acquisition Corp.

On March 31, 2009, Old HTI and Polaris consummated the Merger. Upon closing of the Merger, the outstanding equity securities of Old HTI were exchanged for an aggregate of 77,102,149 shares of our common stock, comprised of 19,854,018 initial shares and 57,248,131 earn-out shares. In addition, all options exercisable for Old HTI common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger were exchanged for options exercisable for an aggregate of 2,274,935 shares of our common stock, which includes 1,751,859 earn-out options. The earn-out shares, which were issued into escrow, will be released to the Old HTI stockholders and the earn-out options will be eligible to be exercised, according to their terms, by the optionholders, each in three tranches, upon the trading share price of our common stock reaching at least $20.00, $24.50 and $30.50 (as may be adjusted or amended in accordance with the escrow agreement) within certain measurement periods over the five-year period following the closing of the Merger. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Polaris founders agreed to deposit an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of their common stock into escrow at closing with such shares being released upon the achievement of the first share price target between the first and fifth anniversary of closing. Upon consummation of the Merger, the Polaris founders also transferred an aggregate of 168,000 shares of common stock to us with such shares cancelled upon receipt.

In order to consummate the Merger, we agreed to purchase an aggregate of 7,439,978 shares of our common stock from a limited number of institutional shareholders in separate and privately negotiated transactions which were executed prior to the conclusion of the special meeting in which our shareholders voted on the Merger. On April 2, 2009, we consummated these purchases using approximately $74.4 million of the approximately $97.2 million of cash received from Polaris in connection with the Merger.

Notwithstanding the legal form of the transaction, the Merger has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting as a reverse acquisition, equivalent to a recapitalization, through the issuance of stock by Old HTI for the net monetary assets of Polaris. The determination of Old HTI as the accounting acquirer was made based on consideration of all quantitative and qualitative factors of the Merger, including significant consideration given to the fact that following consummation of the Merger (i) the stockholders of Old HTI controlled a majority of our voting power, (ii) the controlling stockholder of Old HTI prior to the Merger, together with its affiliates, controlled approximately 72% of our voting power and had the right to select a majority of the members of our board of directors following the Merger and (iii) the management of Old HTI continued in all executive officer and other senior management positions and, accordingly, had day-to-day authority to carry out the business plan after the Merger. Accordingly, our historical financial statements prior to March 31, 2009 are the historical financial statements of Old HTI. The consolidated financial statements of Old HTI have been retroactively restated to reflect the recapitalization of Old HTI with the 77,102,149 shares of common stock issued to Old HTI equity holders in connection with the Merger.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, we have stated depreciation and amortization separately on the face of our consolidated statements of operations and revised all comparable periods presented to conform to this presentation. This revision in our presentation is intended to make our consolidated statements of operations consistent with the way management reviews and measures our business.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These accounting principles require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures of contingent

liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from estimates. The following discussion addresses the most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results from operations, and that require judgment. The notes accompanying the consolidated financial statements contain additional information regarding our accounting policies.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenues from hardware sales and services rendered provided that there is an enforceable contract, we have delivered services to the customer, the fee for the services is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Hardware sales consist principally of revenues from the sale of telematics devices, primarily to resellers. Shipping and handling costs for hardware shipped are classified as cost of hardware sold. We have determined that the sale of hardware and its accompanying services by Networkfleet constitute a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables and account for the sale of hardware and the accompanying services as separate units of accounting. Prepaid service fees are recorded as deferred revenue and are recognized as revenue when earned over the applicable subscription term. For subscriptions with a term covering the ownership period of a vehicle, revenue is recognized ratably over the estimated duration of the ownership period with any residual amount of deferred revenue recognized upon termination of such subscription. Amounts received from third parties in connection with the configuration of our telematics platform and other program launch activities to support In-Drive distribution programs are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue over the expected life of the program.

Capitalized Software

Software development costs are capitalized in accordance with the accounting guidance governing the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use. The guidance requires companies to capitalize qualifying costs that are incurred during the application development stage and amortize them over the software’s estimated useful life. Costs capitalized include direct labor, outside services, materials, software licenses and interest incurred on certain of our outstanding indebtedness. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, we capitalized approximately $3.4 million, $14.3 million and $13.3 million, respectively, of software development costs. Amortization begins when the software is ready for its intended use and will be recognized over the expected useful life of the software, but not to exceed five years. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we recorded amortization expense related to capitalized software costs of approximately $3.3 million, $0.9 million and $0, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles with finite useful lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with the accounting guidance governing the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. In light of the termination of our contract with Old Chrysler and the discontinuation of work towards launch of service with New Chrysler, we evaluated for impairment certain equipment, capitalized software costs and other assets related to the deployment of hardware and launch of services to New Chrysler vehicles. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment charge during the year ended December 31, 2009 totaling approximately $20.8 million to write down these assets to their net realizable values. The impairment consisted of approximately $11.8 million of capitalized software, approximately $3.6 million of equipment and approximately $5.4 million of other assets. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2008, there were no factors indicating impairment of our long-lived and intangible assets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments include cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, letters of credit, long-term debt and certain warrants to purchase common stock. The fair value of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and the letters of credit approximates book value due to their short-term duration. We determined the estimated fair value of the long-term debt and the warrants by using available market information and commonly accepted valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the fair value estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amount that we or holders of the instruments could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value.

Share-Based Compensation

Compensation expense for all share-based awards expected to vest is measured at fair value on the date of grant and recognized over the service period. The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of our common stock on the grant date. The fair value of stock option awards is determined using an option pricing model that is based on established principles of financial economic theory. Such value is recognized as expense ratably over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures. The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from our current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. Assumptions regarding volatility, expected term, dividend yield and risk-free rate are required for valuation of stock option awards.

Selected Segment Data

We classify our operations into three principal business segments: (i) the HUGHES Telematics segment, which provides the telematics solution which is being marketed to automakers and other parties and includes the operations relating to our contract with Mercedes-Benz and our In-Drive product offering; (ii) the Networkfleet segment, which provides an aftermarket wireless fleet management solution targeted to the local fleet market; and (iii) the Lifecomm segment, which is developing and will operate a mobile personal emergency response service which will permit subscribers to initiate requests for emergency assistance services through a wearable device.

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2009

Revenues

Service revenues relate to the consideration received from the provision of Networkfleet’s monitoring and tracking services and of the mbrace services to owners and lessees of Mercedes-Benz vehicles and are recognized as revenue when earned over the applicable subscription term. Hardware revenues consist principally of the sale of Networkfleet’s telematics device. The following table sets forth information related to our revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.


	Year Ended December 31,
	2010		2009
	(in thousands)
Service revenues	$	30,459	$	22,627
Hardware revenues		9,880		10,416

Total revenues	$	40,339	$	33,043

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased to approximately $40.3 million, a 22% increase from the approximately $33.0 million of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009. This increase was primarily due to the approximately $4.8 million of service revenues recognized related to the mbrace service offering in the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to only a nominal amount of revenues recognized in the year ended December 31, 2009 and an approximately $3.0 million, or 14%, increase in Networkfleet’s service revenues in the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009. Units active on Networkfleet’s network increased to approximately 117,000 as of December 31, 2010, a 15% increase from the approximately 102,000 units as of December 31, 2009. Service revenues are expected to continue to increase in future periods as (i) we continue to earn the deferred revenue related to the provision of services to paying subscribers of the mbrace service, (ii) we convert additional mbrace subscribers from a trial to a paid subscription, (iii) we transition paying subscribers from the Mercedes-Benz service formerly marketed as Tele Aid to our service platform and (iv) Networkfleet continues to sell additional hardware devices thereby growing the number of active units on its network. Service revenues are expected to increase in future periods as we expect to begin generating revenue from our In-Drive service offering beginning in the third quarter of 2011 and from our Lifecomm service offering in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Hardware revenues decreased by approximately $0.5 million due primarily to a nominal decrease in the average revenue per unit sold in the year ended December 31, 2010 compared the year ended December 31, 2009. Hardware unit sales were nominally higher in 2010 with approximately 31,000 and 30,000 units sold in the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of services includes per-unit monthly charges from various wireless, mapping and roadside assistance providers and the salaries and related benefits for employees who support the call centers and manage the data centers. Cost of hardware sold consists primarily of the cost of direct materials required to produce Networkfleet’s telematics device and the cost of shipping and installing devices.

The following table sets forth information related to our cost of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.


	Year Ended December 31,
	2010		2009
	(in thousands)
Cost of services	$	19,386	$	7,851
Cost of hardware sold		7,374		6,874

Total cost of revenues	$	26,760	$	14,725

Total cost of revenues increased to approximately $26.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, an 82% increase from the approximately $14.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. Cost of services for the year ended December 31, 2010 consisted of approximately $12.1 million of costs related to the provision of the mbrace service to owners and lessees of Mercedes-Benz vehicles and approximately $7.3 million of costs related to the provision of Networkfleet’s service offerings. The increase in cost of services is due primarily to the approximately $10.8 million increase in the costs related to the provision of the mbrace service as the service launched in November 2009. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the cost of services related to the provision of the mbrace service was incurred without the benefit of substantial related revenues because an introductory trial of six months is offered to the purchasers or lessees of new Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Accordingly, for the year ended December 31, 2010, the cost of services related to the mbrace service significantly exceeded the revenues recognized therefrom. Cost of services related to the provision of Networkfleet’s service offerings increased approximately $0.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 due to the increased number of active units on the network. Cost of hardware sold increased in the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 due to a higher per-unit cost of manufacturing Networkfleet’s telematics device and nominally higher unit sales volume. Excluding depreciation and amortization which is shown separately on the consolidated statements of operations, for each of the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, Networkfleet’s total cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues was approximately 41%.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense consists primarily of salaries and related benefits for employees and fees paid to third parties associated with engineering and product development activities. Research and development expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 decreased to approximately $11.6 million from approximately $26.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of approximately $14.8 million, or 56%. This decrease was due primarily to an approximately $17.8 million decrease in amounts paid to third parties related to development activities that were completed in the second half of 2009, partially offset by approximately $2.6 million of costs incurred by Lifecomm related primarily to the development of the wearable device to be used in connection with its mobile personal emergency response service. We expect research and development expense to increase in the year ending December 31, 2011 as we continue the development of the Lifecomm solution and as certain costs associated with software development projects which were capitalized during the year ended December 31, 2010 will be expensed as the application development stage of such projects has been completed.

Sales and Marketing Expense

Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of (i) salaries, commissions and related benefits for employees engaged in sales initiatives and other marketing activities, (ii) certain amounts paid to Mercedes-Benz and its dealers, (iii) the costs associated with direct marketing campaigns and (iv) trade shows and other forms of advertising. Sales and marketing expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased to approximately $21.4 million from approximately $11.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of approximately $10.3 million, or 93%. This increase relates primarily to an approximately $9.6 million increase in

direct marketing costs incurred relating to our mbrace service offering, including certain amounts paid to Mercedes-Benz and its dealers, and an increase of approximately $0.5 million in labor costs as the number of employees and consultants dedicated to sales and marketing activities grew in the year ended December 31, 2010 as we continued to develop our relationship with Mercedes-Benz, pursued relationships with other automakers and further developed our consumer marketing strategy. We expect sales and marketing expense to increase further in the year ending December 31, 2011 as we expand sales and marketing activities and further develop our consumer strategy for Mercedes-Benz, In-Drive, Lifecomm and other potential future opportunities.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense consists primarily of facilities costs, finance, accounting, legal, information technology, human resources and other corporate costs, as well as the salaries and related employee benefits for those employees that support such functions. General and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 decreased to approximately $34.7 million from approximately $36.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of approximately $2.1 million, or 6%. This decrease is due primarily to a decrease of approximately $2.4 million of consulting costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2009 related to the implementation of systems and infrastructure necessary to support our operations, approximately $1.9 million in costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2009 related to the implementation and setup of our customer call centers prior to the launch of the mbrace service offering in November 2009, approximately $1.8 million in professional fees related to the Merger, approximately $1.2 million of costs primarily related to the acquisition of patent licenses covering multiple domestic and foreign patents, partially offset by an approximately $5.2 million increase in salaries and related benefits as we increased our operational support staff following the launch of the mbrace service offering. We expect general and administrative expense to increase slightly in the year ending December 31, 2011 as we increase our support teams in anticipation of the launch of our In-Drive and Lifecomm solutions.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense includes the depreciation of property and equipment, the amortization of intangible assets and the amortization of capitalized software which is ready for its intended use. Depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased to approximately $13.7 million from approximately $10.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of approximately $2.8 million, or 26%. This increase was due primarily to an approximately $2.2 million increase in amortization of capitalized software that became ready for its intended use in the third quarter of 2009, a $1.9 million increase in depreciation of purchased software that became ready for its intended use in the third quarter of 2009 and an approximately $0.6 million increase in depreciation of computers and equipment used in connection with the provision of services by the HUGHES Telematics segment, partially offset by an approximately $1.9 million decrease in depreciation of computers and equipment that were subject to the impairment charges recognized during the year ended December 31, 2009.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

Based on an evaluation of guidance provided by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) governing whether an instrument, including embedded features, is indexed to a company’s own stock, we determined that the warrants issued in connection with the issuance of the Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and the warrants issued in connection with the issuance of the senior secured term indebtedness contained provisions which, in accordance with the accounting guidance, indicated that the warrants were not indexed to HUGHES Telematics stock. Accordingly, upon the adoption of the accounting guidance, we reclassified the approximately $133.9 million fair value of the warrants from equity to a liability and recorded such amount as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as of January 1, 2009. We also determined that the automatic exchange feature of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) pursuant to which the Series B Preferred Stock would be directly exchanged for shares of Polaris common stock in connection with the Merger should be considered a separate derivative instrument as,

pursuant to the accounting guidance, the exchange provision was not considered indexed to HUGHES Telematics stock but rather indexed to Polaris stock. We recognized a charge of approximately $62.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2009 related to the increase in fair market value of these instruments during such period. As the warrants were exercised and the Series B Preferred Stock was extinguished in connection with the Merger, we will not record additional charges in future periods related to these instruments.

Deemed Dividend on and Accretion of Convertible Preferred Stock

At the time of issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, we allocated approximately $42.9 million of the proceeds to a beneficial conversion feature resulting from the ability of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock to convert their shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of HUGHES Telematics common stock at a conversion price lower than the fair value of the HUGHES Telematics common stock at such time. As this conversion feature was immediately available to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, this discount on the Series B Preferred Stock was immediately accreted and a deemed dividend of approximately $42.9 million was recorded on the date of issuance. We recorded an additional deemed dividend of approximately $0.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2009 representing the accretion of the discount on the Series B Preferred Stock related to the embedded derivative and issue costs over the 4.5 year period through October 1, 2013 when the Series B Preferred Stock first became redeemable at the option of the holder. Upon consummation of the Merger and the exchange of the Series B Preferred Stock for our common stock, we recorded an additional deemed dividend of approximately $13.6 million related to the difference between (i) the fair value of our common stock received by the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and (ii) the carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock, the amount allocated to the beneficial conversion feature and the embedded derivative for the automatic exchange provision. Each of these deemed dividends have been reflected in the consolidated statements of operations in determining the net loss attributable to common stockholders. As the Series B Preferred Stock was extinguished in connection with the Merger, we will not record additional accretion or deemed dividends in future periods related to the instrument.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased to approximately $21.6 million from approximately $13.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $7.9 million, or 57%. Interest expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2010 consisted primarily of $14.2 million of accrued interest and amortization of discount and debt issuance costs related to the senior secured term indebtedness, $2.7 million of accrued interest and amortization of discount and debt issuance costs related to the second lien term indebtedness, $0.8 million of accrued interest related to the senior unsecured promissory note, $3.8 million of accrued interest and discount amortization related to the senior subordinated unsecured indebtedness and $0.5 million of accrued interest on capital lease obligations and vendor financing, partially offset by $0.3 million of interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and $0.1 million of interest that was capitalized. Interest expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2009 consisted primarily of $12.9 million of accrued interest and amortization of discount and debt issuance costs related to the senior secured term indebtedness, $0.3 million of accrued interest and amortization of discount and debt issuance costs related to the second lien term indebtedness, $3.3 million of accrued interest and discount amortization related to the senior subordinated unsecured indebtedness, $0.8 million of interest on capital lease obligations and vendor financing arrangements and $0.6 million of accretion on the Series A Preferred Stock, partially offset by $0.2 million of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents and $4.0 million of interest which was capitalized.

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2008

Revenues

The following table sets forth information related to our revenues for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2009		2008
	(in thousands)
Service revenues	$	22,627	$	16,618
Hardware revenues		10,416		13,642

Total revenues	$	33,043	$	30,260

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased to approximately $33.0 million, a 9% increase from the approximately $30.3 million of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008. This increase was primarily due to the increase in Networkfleet’s service revenues, which increased by 36% in the year ended December 31, 2009 from the year ended December 31, 2008. Units active on Networkfleet’s network increased to approximately 102,000 as of December 31, 2009, a 17% increase from the approximately 87,000 units as of December 31, 2008.

Networkfleet’s hardware sales decreased to approximately 30,000 units in the year ended December 31, 2009, a 25% decrease from the approximately 40,000 units sold in the year ended December 31, 2008 due to weak general economic conditions which were causing our customer base to postpone previously planned purchases.

Cost of Revenues

The following table sets forth information related to costs of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2009		2008
	(in thousands)
Cost of services	$	7,851	$	5,788
Cost of hardware sold		6,874		8,255

Total cost of revenues	$	14,725	$	14,043

Total cost of revenues increased to approximately $14.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, a 5% increase from the approximately $14.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. This increase was primarily due to the approximately $1.2 million of costs related to the provision of the mbrace service to owners and lessees of Mercedes-Benz vehicles following the launch of the service in November 2009, as well as the cost associated with an increased number of active units on Networkfleet’s network in the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the year ended December 31, 2008. Total cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 41% in the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to 46% in the year ended December 31, 2008. This decrease was due to the increase in service revenues as a percentage of total revenue partially offset by the additional $1.2 million of cost related to the mbrace service. Service revenues yield a higher gross margin than hardware revenues and represented 68% of total revenues in the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the 55% of total revenues in the year ended December 31, 2008.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased to approximately $26.4 million from approximately $30.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of approximately $4.1 million, or 14%. This decrease was due primarily to an approximately $6.8 million decrease in amounts paid to third parties related to development activities that were completed in the second half of 2009, partially offset by an approximately $2.6 million increase in labor costs as we dedicated additional resources to the further development and testing of our telematics system, including the development of our In-Drive products and services.

Sales and Marketing Expense

Sales and marketing expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased to approximately $11.1 million from approximately $7.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of approximately $3.7 million, or 50%. This increase related primarily to a $1.3 million increase in direct marketing costs incurred relating to our launch of the mbrace service offering in November 2009, including certain amounts paid to Mercedes-Benz and its dealers; an increase of $1.3 million in professional fees related to the development and execution of our marketing and customer retention platform; and an increase of approximately $1.0 million in salaries and related benefits as the number of employees dedicated to sales and marketing activities grew during the year ended December 31, 2009 as we continued to develop our relationship with Mercedes-Benz, pursued relationships with other automakers and further developed our consumer marketing strategy.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased to approximately $36.8 million from approximately $20.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of approximately $16.8 million, or 84%. This increase was due primarily to an increase of approximately $7.7 million in professional fees relating to the Merger, our compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, certain litigation matters and other corporate activities; an approximately $5.5 million increase in compensation and benefits related to the additional personnel necessary to support our operations; approximately $1.7 million related to patent licenses for approximately 40 domestic and 40 foreign patents obtained while concurrently resolving filed and unfiled disputes relating to multiple parties; and an approximately $1.7 million increase in software maintenance costs.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased to approximately $10.9 million from approximately $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of approximately $5.0 million, or 84%. This increase was due primarily to an approximately $2.8 million increase in depreciation of purchased software which became ready for its intended use in the third quarter of 2009, a $1.2 million increase in depreciation of computers and equipment used in development efforts and a $0.9 million increase in amortization of capitalized software which became ready for its intended use in the third quarter of 2009.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased to approximately $13.7 million from approximately $10.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of approximately $3.7 million, or 38%. Interest expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2009 consisted primarily of $12.9 million of accrued interest and amortization of discount and debt issuance costs related to the senior secured term indebtedness, $0.3 million of accrued interest and amortization of discount and debt issuance costs related to the second lien term indebtedness, $3.3 million of accrued interest and discount amortization related to the senior subordinated unsecured indebtedness, $0.8 million of interest on capital lease obligations and vendor financing arrangements and $0.6 million of accretion on the Series A Preferred Stock, partially offset by $0.2 million of interest earned

on cash and cash equivalents and $4.0 million of interest which was capitalized. Interest expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2008 consisted primarily of $7.5 million of accrued interest and discount and debt issuance costs amortization related to the senior secured term indebtedness, $2.8 million of accretion on the Series A Preferred Stock, $1.8 million of accrued interest and discount amortization related to the senior subordinated unsecured promissory notes and $0.4 million of accrued interest on capital lease obligations, partially offset by $0.9 million of interest earned on cash and cash equivalents and $1.6 million of interest which was capitalized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2010, we had unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $16.9 million. Additionally, in February 2011, we raised an aggregate of approximately $10.0 million through the sale of common stock in a private placement and the issuance of incremental second lien term indebtedness. Of our consolidated cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, approximately $9.3 million is held by our Lifecomm subsidiary for use in that business. As a result of our historical net losses and our limited capital resources, our independent registered public accounting firm’s report on our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 includes an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We believe that the cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments on hand, including the approximately $10.0 million raised in February 2011, and the projected cash flows to be generated by our service offerings to Mercedes-Benz vehicles and sales of our In-Drive and Lifecomm products and services, will allow us to continue operations beyond the next twelve months. Since we launched our service offerings to Mercedes-Benz vehicles less than a year and a half ago and expect to launch our In-Drive and Lifecomm products and services later this year, some or all of the assumptions underlying our projections may prove to be materially inaccurate. If so, we cannot assure you that our net losses and negative cash flow will not surpass our expectations, and thus, we may be required to raise additional capital in the future or to reduce our operating expenditures. This additional financing may take the form of loans under a new credit facility, the issuance of bonds or other types of debt securities, the issuance of equity securities or a combination of the foregoing. Any such financing must either comply with the covenants of our existing credit facilities, or we will need to obtain waivers from the lenders. Our credit facilities contain covenants that restrict our ability to incur debt and will require mandatory prepayments from the proceeds of an equity financing. Any debt financing obtained may impose various restrictions and additional covenants on us which could limit our ability to respond to market conditions, provide for unanticipated capital investments or take advantage of business opportunities and may subject us to significant interest expense. Additional equity financing may be obtained on terms that are dilutive to the interests of existing stockholders. We have been successful in the past raising capital to address our liquidity needs, however, debt or additional equity financing may not be available when needed in the future on terms favorable to us or at all, and the failure to attract a sufficient amount of additional debt or equity capital may impair our ability to execute on our business plan. Such additional capital may be provided by, among other things, the cash proceeds from the exercise of the outstanding warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional financing, if needed, or that we will be able to reduce our operating expenditures.

Operating Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2010, cash used in operating activities was approximately $25.1 million, consisting primarily of a net loss of $89.6 million, partially offset by a $26.4 million increase in deferred revenue related to prepaid subscription fees from customers to the mbrace service, a $5.7 million increase in deferred revenue related to payments received from distribution partners of our In-Drive telematics services, $0.9 million of changes in other operating assets and liabilities, $13.7 million of depreciation and amortization, $7.0 million of interest accrued on long-term indebtedness that was paid in-kind with such accrued interest being added to the outstanding principal balance of the debt, $6.2 million of amortization of debt issuance costs and other discounts on the long-term debt, $2.9 million of share-based compensation expense, $1.2 million of non-cash services contributed to Lifecomm by Qualcomm and $0.4 million of net losses on disposals of equipment.

Senior Secured Term Indebtedness

On March 31, 2008, we entered into a credit agreement (as amended and restated, the “First Lien Credit Agreement”) pursuant to which we issued in multiple tranches during the year ended December 31, 2008, for aggregate consideration of $60.0 million, senior secured term indebtedness due March 31, 2013 with an original principal amount of $60.0 million and warrants to purchase the equivalent of 4,801,112 shares of common stock, comprised of 1,103,922 initial shares and 3,697,190 earn-out shares, at an equivalent exercise price of less than $0.01 per share. As additional consideration for services provided by the lead arranger in connection with the issuance and syndication of the term indebtedness, we issued warrants to an affiliate of the lead arranger to purchase the equivalent of an aggregate of 1,181,244 shares of common stock, comprised of 271,604 initial shares and 909,640 earn-out shares, at an equivalent exercise price of less than $0.01 per share.

The senior secured term indebtedness is guaranteed by all of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries and is secured by all of its tangible and intangible assets. At our election, the term indebtedness bears interest at (i) the Prime Lending Rate plus 10.00% or (ii) for Eurocurrency borrowings, 11.00% plus the greater of LIBOR or 3.00%. In accordance with an agreement between us and one of the senior secured note holders, the interest rate on term indebtedness with a principal amount of $5.0 million will have an interest rate of no higher than 14.00% for the term of the debt. With respect to Eurocurrency borrowings, we may elect interest periods of one, two, three, or six months (or nine or twelve months if approved by each senior secured note holder), and interest is payable in arrears at the end of each interest period but, in any event, at least every three months. With respect to all interest periods ending on or prior to March 31, 2010, the interest accrued on the senior secured term indebtedness was paid in kind in arrears with such accrued interest being added to the outstanding principal balance of the term indebtedness. With respect to all interest periods ending after March 31, 2010, the accrued interest will be paid in cash in arrears. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, senior secured term indebtedness with an aggregate principal amount, including the accrued interest which had been paid in kind, of approximately $76.9 million and $74.5 million, respectively, was outstanding, and we had elected to convert all outstanding amounts to Prime Lending borrowings which resulted in the term indebtedness bearing an interest rate of 13.25%.

The First Lien Credit Agreement requires us to comply with negative covenants which include, among others, limitations on our ability to incur additional debt; create liens; pay dividends or make other distributions; make loans and investments; sell assets; redeem or repurchase capital stock or subordinated debt; engage in specified transactions with affiliates; consolidate or merge with or into, or sell substantially all of its assets to, another person; and enter into new lines of business. We may incur indebtedness beyond the specific limits allowed under the First Lien Credit Agreement, provided we maintain a leverage ratio of 5.0 to 1.0. In addition, we may incur limited indebtedness secured by junior and subordinated liens to the liens created under the First Lien Credit Agreement. Noncompliance with any of the covenants without cure or waiver would constitute an event of default. An event of default resulting from a breach of a covenant may result, at the option of the note holders, in an acceleration of the principal and interest outstanding. The First Lien Credit Agreement also contains other events of default (subject to specified grace periods), including defaults based on the termination of the Mercedes-Benz contract, events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to us and nonpayment of principal, interest or fees when due. The First Lien Credit Agreement also requires us to use 25% of the net cash proceeds from certain equity issuances for the repayment of senior secured term indebtedness.

The warrants issued in connection with the issuance of the senior secured term indebtedness were automatically exercised in accordance with their terms upon consummation of the Merger.

Second Lien Term Indebtedness

On December 17, 2009, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”) with PLASE HT as administrative agent, collateral agent and original lender, pursuant to which we issued, for aggregate consideration of $15.0 million, second lien term indebtedness due October 1, 2013 with an original principal amount of $15.0 million and a warrant to purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. PLASE HT is an affiliate of Apollo and of our controlling stockholder, Communications LLC. The loans under the Second Lien Credit Agreement bear interest at 9.00% per annum, payable-in-kind, and are guaranteed by all of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries. The loans are secured by a second priority lien on substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets. The liens granted in connection with the Second Lien Credit Agreement are expressly subject and subordinated to the liens securing our obligations under the First Lien Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the outstanding balance on the second lien term indebtedness, including accrued interest which had been paid in-kind, was approximately $16.5 million and $15.1 million, respectively.

The covenants contained in the Second Lien Credit Agreement are substantially the same as those in the First Lien Credit Agreement. The Second Lien Credit Agreement requires us to comply with negative covenants which include, among others, limitations on our ability to incur additional debt; create liens; pay dividends or make other distributions; make loans and investments; sell assets; redeem or repurchase capital stock or subordinated debt; engage in specified transactions with affiliates; consolidate or merge with or into, or sell substantially all of our assets to, another person; and enter into new lines of business. We may incur indebtedness beyond the specific limits allowed under the Second Lien Credit Agreement, provided we maintain a leverage ratio of less than 5.0 to 1.0. The events of default under the Second Lien Credit Agreement include, among others, payment defaults; defaults under, or acceleration of, certain indebtedness; termination of our contract with Mercedes-Benz; breaches of covenants or representations and warranties; certain ERISA events; certain judgments; and bankruptcy and insolvency events. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the acceleration of the obligations under the Second Lien Credit Agreement.

On February 7, 2011, we entered into an incremental loan commitment agreement with a group of investors pursuant to which the investors made loans in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $5.0 million under the Second Lien Credit Agreement. In connection with the issuance of the loans, we issued the investors warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.99 per share.

Senior Unsecured Promissory Note

On December 18, 2009, we issued to HNS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HCI and controlled by investment funds that are affiliates of Apollo, a senior unsecured promissory note with a principal amount of approximately $8.3 million through the conversion of a trade accounts payable balance of approximately $6.0 million and the approximately $2.3 million outstanding balance on an equipment financing arrangement owed to HNS. The promissory note accrues interest at a rate of 12.00% per annum, compounded annually, and was to become due and payable on December 31, 2010. Pursuant to the terms of the promissory note, we were required to make scheduled principal payments of approximately $0.8 million on April 15, 2010 and $1.5 million on each of July 15, 2010 and October 15, 2010. In addition, subject to all restrictions in the First Lien Credit Agreement and Second Lien Credit Agreement and certain other limitations, to the extent we sell any capital equipment purchased by us (or purchased by HNS on our behalf) for use in connection with the Telematics Agreement between the parties, but no longer needed by us, we are required to make payments on the promissory note equal to the proceeds from the sale of such capital equipment (net of any selling costs).

July 15, 2011, $1.5 million on October 15, 2011 and the balance on December 31, 2011. In connection with the amendment to the promissory note, we issued 50,000 shares of common stock to HNS as an amendment fee. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the outstanding balance on the senior unsecured promissory note, including accrued interest, was approximately $5.6 million and $8.5 million, respectively.

Senior Subordinated Unsecured Promissory Notes

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the outstanding balance on the senior subordinated unsecured promissory notes, including the accrued interest and interest that had been paid in-kind, was approximately $23.1 million and $20.1 million, respectively.

Private Placements of Common Stock

On December 28, 2009, we completed a private placement of 2,516,667 shares of our common stock to a group of institutional investors at a purchase price of $3.00 per share. The aggregate purchase price for the common stock sold in the private placement was approximately $7.4 million in cash and the exchange of 1,662,200 of our publicly-traded warrants which were cancelled upon the closing of the private placement. In connection with the private placement, we entered into an amendment to the First Lien Credit Agreement providing for the waiver of the requirement to use 25% of the net cash proceeds from the private placement for the repayment of senior secured term indebtedness and paid the senior secured lenders an amendment fee of approximately $0.1 million.

On May 13, 2010, we completed a private placement of 5,130,500 shares of our common stock to a group of accredited investors at a purchase price of $3.00 per share. The aggregate purchase price for the common stock sold in the private placement was approximately $15.4 million. In connection with the private placement, we entered into an amendment to the First Lien Credit Agreement providing for the waiver of the requirement to use 25% of the net cash proceeds from the private placement for the repayment of senior secured term indebtedness and paid the senior secured lenders an amendment fee of approximately $0.1 million. In addition, as a result of the private placement, the exercise price of the warrant issued in connection with the second lien term indebtedness was adjusted from $6.00 per share to $5.99 per share.

On February 7, 2011, we completed a private placement of 1,428,572 shares of common stock to a group of accredited investors at a purchase price of $3.50 per share. The aggregate purchase price for the common stock sold in the private placement was approximately $5.0 million. In connection with the private placement, we entered into an amendment to the First Lien Credit Agreement providing for the waiver of the requirement to use 25% of the net cash proceeds from the private placement for the repayment of senior secured term indebtedness.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. All subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest are included in the consolidated financial statements, and we do not have any relationships with any special purpose entities.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) revised prior guidance governing accounting for business combinations. Significant revisions include: (i) all transaction costs related to a business combination are to be expensed when incurred; (ii) certain contingent assets and liabilities purchased in a business combination are to be measured at fair value; (iii) contingent consideration (earn-out arrangements) paid in connection with a business combination are to be measured at fair value depending on the structure of the arrangements; and (iv) subsequent material adjustments made to the purchase price allocation will be recorded back to the acquisition date, which will cause revision of previously issued financial statements when reporting comparative period financial information in subsequent financial statements. The revised guidance is effective for business combinations that are completed on or after January 1, 2009. Upon adoption of the revised business combinations guidance, we expensed approximately $0.9 million of transaction costs incurred in connection with the Merger which are included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009.

In June 2008, the EITF issued guidance on determining whether an instrument, including embedded features, is indexed to an entity’s own stock. Under the new guidance, a company first evaluates any contingent exercise provisions based on the previously existing guidance, and second, evaluates the instruments’ settlement provisions. This guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Based on an evaluation of the newly effective guidance, we determined that the warrants issued in connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock and the warrants issued in connection with the issuance of the senior secured term indebtedness contained provisions which under the new guidance, indicated that the warrants were not indexed to HUGHES Telematics stock. Accordingly, upon the adoption of the new guidance, we reclassified the $133.9 million fair value of the warrants from equity to a liability and recorded such amount as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as of January 1, 2009. We also determined that the automatic exchange feature of the Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to which the Series B Preferred Stock would be directly exchanged for shares of Polaris common stock in connection with the Merger should be considered a separate derivative instrument as, pursuant to the new guidance, the exchange provision was not considered indexed to HUGHES Telematics stock but rather indexed to Polaris stock. We recognized a charge of approximately $62.3

million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 related to the increase in fair market value of these instruments during such period. As the warrants were exercised and the Series B Preferred Stock was extinguished in connection with the Merger, we will not record additional charges in future periods related to these instruments.

In June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which amends the evaluation criteria to identify the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and requires ongoing reassessment of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The new guidance significantly changes the consolidation rules for VIEs including the consolidation of common structures, such as joint ventures, equity method investments and collaboration arrangements. The guidance is applicable to all new and existing VIEs and became effective for us on January 1, 2010. As we have determined that Lifecomm is a VIE for which we are the primary beneficiary, we have included Lifecomm’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2010 and for such period following the formation of Lifecomm during the year ended December 31, 2010.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2009, the EITF issued revised guidance governing revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables, which provides a greater ability to separate and allocate arrangement consideration in a multiple element revenue arrangement. The revised guidance requires the use of an estimated selling price to allocate arrangement consideration, and eliminates the residual method of allocation. This guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2011 and is not expected have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2009, the EITF issued revised guidance governing certain revenue arrangements that include software elements, which amends the scope of existing guidance to exclude tangible products that include software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality. This guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2011 and is not expected have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2010, the FASB provided additional guidance for performing Step 1 of the test for goodwill impairment when an entity has reporting units with zero or negative carrying values. The guidance amends the criteria for performing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts and requires performing Step 2 if qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. This guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2011 and is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 7A.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

As of December 31, 2010, we had approximately $18.2 million of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash that is subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates. In accordance with our investment policy, we diversify our investments among United States Treasury securities and other high credit quality debt instruments that we believe to be low risk. We are averse to principal loss and seek to preserve our invested funds by limiting default risk and market risk.

We may suffer from fluctuating interest rates, which may adversely impact our consolidated results of operations and cash flows. As of December 31, 2010, we had outstanding variable rate borrowings of approximately $76.9 million. As of December 31, 2010, the hypothetical impact of a one percentage point increase in interest rates related to our outstanding variable rate debt would be to increase annual interest expense by approximately $0.8 million.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

HUGHES Telematics, Inc.:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of HUGHES Telematics and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits (which was an integrated audit in 2009 and 2010). We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2009, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for financial instruments that are indexed to the Company’s own stock.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about is ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Organization, Basis of Presentation and Business

On March 31, 2009, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 13, 2008 (as amended and restated on November 10, 2008 and March 12, 2009, the “Merger Agreement”), Hughes Telematics, Inc. (“Old HTI”), a privately held company, and Polaris Acquisition Corp. (“Polaris”), a publicly held blank check company, consummated the merger (the “Merger”) whereby Old HTI merged with and into a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Polaris with Old HTI as the surviving corporation, and immediately thereafter, Old HTI merged with and into Polaris, with Polaris as the surviving corporation (see Note 2). In connection with the Merger, Polaris changed its name from “Polaris Acquisition Corp.” to “HUGHES Telematics, Inc.” As used throughout these consolidated financial statements, the terms “we,” “us” and “our” refers to the business, operations and financial results of (i) Old HTI prior to the closing of the Merger and (ii) HUGHES Telematics, Inc. subsequent to the closing of the Merger, as the context requires.

Notwithstanding the legal form of the transaction, the Merger has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting as a reverse acquisition, equivalent to a recapitalization, through the issuance of stock by Old HTI for the net monetary assets of Polaris. The determination of Old HTI as the accounting acquirer was made based on consideration of all quantitative and qualitative factors of the Merger, including significant consideration given to the fact that following consummation of the Merger (i) the stockholders of Old HTI controlled a majority of our voting power following the Merger, (ii) the controlling stockholder of Old HTI prior to the Merger, together with its affiliates, controlled approximately 72% of our voting power and had the right to select a majority of the members of our board of directors and (iii) the management of Old HTI continued in all executive officer and other senior management positions and, accordingly, had day-to-day authority to carry out the business plan after the Merger. Accordingly, our historical financial statements prior to March 31, 2009 are the historical financial statements of Old HTI. The consolidated financial statements of Old HTI have been retroactively restated to reflect the recapitalization of Old HTI with the 77,102,149 shares of common stock issued to Old HTI equity holders in connection with the Merger. All share and per share amounts in these consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect such recapitalization.

We are a telematics services company that provides a suite of real-time voice and data communications services and applications. These services and applications are enabled through a state-of-the-art communications center designed with flexibility to connect various mobile devices with content, services and call centers. Within the automotive industry, our communications center allows for two way voice and data communications to vehicles and supports, among other things, critical safety and security services as well as location-based services and remote diagnostics. Since November 16, 2009, we have been the exclusive telematics service provider in the United States for all new vehicles sold by Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (“Mercedes-Benz”), and we are now the preferred provider of telematics services for all Mercedes-Benz vehicles purchased prior to November 16, 2009. These services are marketed under the mbrace brand. In addition, our In-Drive solution offers services to consumers or other third parties through an aftermarket hardware device that we have developed and which we intend to distribute through relationships with companies and organizations with large customer or membership bases for installation in existing vehicles. Additionally, through Networkfleet, Inc. (“Networkfleet”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, we currently offer remote vehicle monitoring and other data services through after-market hardware that is purchased separately and installed in fleets of vehicles.

In May 2010, we entered into a limited liability company agreement (the “LLC Agreement”) with QUALCOMM Incorporated (“Qualcomm”), a leader in developing and delivering innovative digital wireless communications products and services, and American Medical Alert Corp. (“AMAC”), a healthcare communications company dedicated to the provision of support services to the healthcare community, forming Lifecomm LLC (“Lifecomm”). Lifecomm intends to design, develop, finance and operate a mobile personal emergency response service which will permit subscribers to initiate requests for emergency assistance services

HUGHES TELEMATICS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

through a wearable device that is able to communicate information to and support voice interactions between the subscriber and an emergency assistance call center for purposes of dispatching first responders to the subscriber’s location. Lifecomm expects to launch its service offerings in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Our accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Networkfleet, and our majority-owned subsidiary, Lifecomm, following the formation of Lifecomm. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. For the year ended December 31, 2010, we have stated depreciation and amortization separately on the face of our accompanying consolidated statements of operations and revised all comparable periods presented to conform to this presentation. This revision in our presentation is intended to make our accompanying consolidated statements of operations consistent with the way management reviews and measures our business.

During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we incurred a net loss of approximately $89.6 million, $163.7 million and $57.5 million, respectively, and used cash in operations of approximately $25.1 million, $47.2 million and $39.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $16.9 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $445.5 million. Of the cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, approximately $9.3 million is held by our Lifecomm subsidiary for use in that business. We believe that the cash and cash equivalents on hand, including the $10.0 million raised in February 2011 through the sale of common stock in a private placement and the issuance of incremental second lien term indebtedness, and the projected cash flows to be generated by our service offerings to Mercedes-Benz vehicles and sales of our In-Drive and Lifecomm products and services, will allow us to continue operations beyond the next twelve months. Since we launched our service offerings to Mercedes-Benz vehicles less than a year and a half ago and expect to launch our In-Drive and Lifecomm products and services during the year ending December 31, 2011, some or all of the assumptions underlying our projections may prove to be materially inaccurate. If so, we cannot assure you that our net losses and negative cash flow will not surpass our expectations, and thus, we may be required to raise additional capital in the future or to reduce our operating expenditures. This additional financing may take the form of loans under a new credit facility, the issuance of bonds or other types of debt securities, the issuance of equity securities or a combination of the foregoing. Any such financing must either comply with the covenants of our existing credit facilities, or we will need to obtain waivers from the lenders. Our credit facilities contain covenants that restrict our ability to incur debt and will require mandatory prepayments from the proceeds of an equity financing. Any debt financing obtained may impose various restrictions and additional covenants on us which could limit our ability to respond to market conditions, provide for unanticipated capital investments or take advantage of business opportunities and may subject us to significant interest expense. Additional equity financing may be obtained on terms that are dilutive to the interests of existing stockholders. We have been successful in the past raising capital to address our liquidity needs; however, debt or additional equity financing may not be available when needed in the future on terms favorable to us or at all, and the failure to attract a sufficient amount of additional debt or equity capital may impair our ability to execute on our business plan. Such additional capital may be provided by, among other things, the cash proceeds from the exercise of the outstanding warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional financing, if needed, or that we will be able to reduce our operating expenditures. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(2) Merger with Polaris Acquisition Corp.

On March 31, 2009, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Old HTI and Polaris consummated the Merger. Upon closing of the Merger, the outstanding equity securities of Old HTI were exchanged for an aggregate of 77,102,149 shares of our common stock, comprised of 19,854,018 initial shares and 57,248,131 earn-out shares.

HUGHES TELEMATICS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

In addition, all options exercisable for Old HTI common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger were exchanged for options exercisable for an aggregate of 2,274,935 shares of our common stock, which includes 1,751,859 earn-out options. The earn-out shares, which were issued into escrow, will be released to the Old HTI stockholders and the earn-out options will be eligible to be exercised, according to their terms, by the optionholders, each in three tranches, upon the trading share price of our common stock reaching at least $20.00, $24.50 and $30.50 (as may be adjusted or amended in accordance with the escrow agreement) within certain measurement periods over the five-year period following the closing of the Merger.

The Old HTI stockholders placed 5,782,661 shares of our common stock, comprised of 1,489,053 initial shares and 4,293,608 earn-out shares, in escrow until June 30, 2010 to indemnify us for the payment of indemnification claims that may be made as a result of breaches of Old HTI’s covenants, representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement. As there were no indemnification claims, in July 2010, the 1,489,053 initial shares were released to the Old HTI stockholders from escrow. The 4,293,608 earn-out shares remain in escrow and will be released in accordance with the escrow agreement upon the achievement of the trading share price targets stated above.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Polaris founders agreed to deposit an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of our common stock into escrow at closing with such shares being released upon the achievement of the first share price target between the first and fifth anniversary of closing. Upon consummation of the Merger, the Polaris founders also transferred an aggregate of 168,000 shares of common stock to us with such shares cancelled.

In order to consummate the Merger, we agreed to purchase an aggregate of 7,439,978 shares of our common stock from a limited number of institutional shareholders in separate and privately negotiated transactions which were executed prior to the conclusion of the special meeting in which Polaris’ shareholders voted on the Merger. On April 2, 2009, we consummated these purchases using approximately $74.4 million of the approximately $97.2 million of cash received from Polaris in connection with the Merger.

(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. We consider all debt securities with maturities of more than three months but less than one year as short-term investments and classify investments in such short-term debt securities as held to maturity. The cost of these securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity over the contractual life of the security.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable consists primarily of trade receivables from customers and are generally due within 30 days of the invoice date. We estimate uncollectible accounts receivable based on specific troubled accounts or other currently available evidence. The specific allowances are re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information regarding collectability is received. After all reasonable attempts to collect the receivable have been exhausted, the account is written off against the allowance.

HUGHES TELEMATICS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market. We periodically assess the market value of our inventory, based on sales trends and forecasts and technological changes, and record a charge to current-period income when such factors indicate that a reduction in net realizable value has occurred.

Restricted Cash

To secure certain lease obligations, we must maintain letters of credit in an aggregate amount of approximately $1.3 million. The agreements governing the letters of credit require us to maintain restricted cash accounts which hold collateral equal to no less than the aggregate face amount of the outstanding letters of credit. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had approximately $1.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, in the restricted cash accounts.

Restricted cash balances which are expected to be restricted for more than one year are classified as non-current assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Property and Equipment

We account for property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, generally three to five years. We amortize leasehold improvements on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvements. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Capitalized Software

Costs incurred to develop software for our internal use are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. Costs capitalized include direct labor, outside services, materials, software licenses and interest incurred on certain of our outstanding indebtedness. Costs related to the design or maintenance of internal-use software and website development are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we capitalized $3.4 million, $14.3 million and $13.3 million, respectively, of software development costs. Amortization begins when the software is ready for its intended use and is recognized over the expected useful life of the software, but not to exceed five years. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we recorded amortization expense related to capitalized software costs of approximately $3.4 million, $0.9 million and $0, respectively.

Goodwill and Intangibles

We record goodwill when consideration paid in a purchase acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired. We perform an impairment test annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Our annual impairment analysis indicated that there was no goodwill impairment for the year ended December 31, 2010. We amortize the identified intangible assets with a finite life over their respective useful lives on a straight-line basis, which approximates the projected utility of such assets based on available information.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles with finite useful lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Recoverability of

HUGHES TELEMATICS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. In light of the termination of our contract with Chrysler, LLC (now known as Old Carco, LLC, “Old Chrysler”) and the discontinuation of work towards launch of service with Chrysler Group, LLC (“New Chrysler”), we evaluated for impairment certain equipment, capitalized software costs and other assets related to the deployment of hardware and launch of services to New Chrysler vehicles. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment charge during the year ended December 31, 2009 totaling approximately $20.8 million to write down these assets to their net realizable values (see Note 8). For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2008, there were no factors indicating impairment of our long-lived and intangible assets.

Debt Issuance Costs

Costs associated with the issuance of debt are deferred and amortized to interest expense, using the effective interest method, over the term of the respective debt.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenues from hardware sales and services rendered provided that there is an enforceable contract, we have delivered services to the customer, the fee for the services is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Hardware sales consist principally of revenues from the sale of telematics devices, primarily to resellers. Shipping and handling costs for hardware shipped to resellers are classified as cost of hardware sold. We have determined that the sale of hardware and its accompanying services constitute a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables and account for the sale of hardware and the accompanying services as separate units of accounting. Prepaid service fees are recorded as deferred revenue and are recognized as revenue when earned over the applicable subscription term. For subscriptions with a term covering the ownership period of a vehicle, revenue is recognized ratably over the estimated duration of the ownership period with any residual amount of deferred revenue recognized upon termination of such subscription. Amounts received from third parties in connection with the configuration of our telematics platform and other program launch activities to support In-Drive distribution programs are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue over the expected life of the program.

Research and Development

We incur research and development costs in the course of developing our products and services. Such costs are expensed as incurred.

Share-Based Compensation

Compensation expense for all share-based awards expected to vest is measured at fair value on the date of grant and recognized over the service period. The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of our common stock on the grant date. The fair value of stock option awards is determined using an option pricing model that is based on established principles of financial economic theory. Such value is recognized as expense ratably over the service period. The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from our current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. Assumptions regarding volatility, expected term, dividend yield and risk-free rate are required for valuation of stock option awards (see Note 12).

HUGHES TELEMATICS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

In assessing the need to record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, we consider, based upon all available evidence, whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Due to our historical operating losses, there is uncertainty with respect to whether we will ultimately realize our deferred tax assets. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we recorded a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax asset.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss, which is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from nonowner sources, for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 equaled our net loss.

Loss Per Share

We compute basic loss per share by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of securities into common stock. The potential dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants is calculated using the “treasury stock” method.

During all periods presented, we had potential common shares, including shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, which could potentially dilute basic loss per share in the future, but were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share in such periods, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, potential common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants but excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share were 82,881,548 shares, 81,278,993 shares and 41,811,616 shares, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, fair value of financial instruments, collectability of receivables, valuation of inventory, depreciable lives of fixed assets and internally-developed software, valuation of acquired intangibles and goodwill, income taxes, stock-based compensation and contingencies. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

HUGHES TELEMATICS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

duration. We determined the estimated fair value of the long-term debt and the warrants by using available market information and commonly accepted valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the fair value estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amount that we or holders of the instruments could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Although we maintain cash balances at financial institutions that exceed federally insured limits, these balances are placed with various high credit quality financial institutions.

We generate revenues principally from customers located in the United States. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we had zero, zero and one customer, respectively, that individually accounted for more than 10% of our revenues. This customer accounted for approximately $3.6 million or 11.8% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008.

As of each of December 31, 2010 and 2009, one customer individually accounted for over 10% of our total accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, these customers accounted for approximately $6.8 million, or 64%, and $0.9 million, or 21%, respectively, of our total accounts receivable balance. The balances from these customers were subsequently collected.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2008, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued guidance on determining whether an instrument, including embedded features, is indexed to an entity’s own stock. Under the new guidance, a company first evaluates any contingent exercise provisions based on the previously existing guidance, and second, evaluates the instruments’ settlement provisions. This guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Based on an evaluation of the newly effective guidance, we determined that the warrants issued in connection with the issuance of the Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and the warrants issued in connection with the issuance of the senior secured term indebtedness contained provisions which under the new guidance, indicated that the warrants were not indexed to HUGHES Telematics stock. Accordingly, upon the adoption of the new guidance, we reclassified the $133.9 million fair value of the warrants from equity to a liability and recorded such amount as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as of January 1, 2009. We also determined that the automatic exchange feature of the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to which the Series B Preferred Stock would be directly exchanged for shares of Polaris common stock in connection with the Merger should be considered a separate derivative instrument as, pursuant to the new guidance, the exchange provision was not considered indexed to HUGHES Telematics stock but rather indexed to Polaris stock. We recognized a charge of approximately $62.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 related to the increase in fair market value of these instruments during such period. As the warrants were exercised and the Series B Preferred Stock was extinguished in connection with the Merger, we will not record additional charges in future periods related to these instruments.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

(4) Formation of Lifecomm LLC

On May 12, 2010, we entered into the LLC Agreement with Qualcomm and AMAC forming Lifecomm. Under the terms of the LLC Agreement, each of the parties provided cash and/or immediate and future in-kind contributions to Lifecomm. Specifically, in exchange for approximately 54% of the membership interests of Lifecomm, we entered into (i) an Infrastructure Access Agreement with Lifecomm pursuant to which we will provide access to our telematics platform and infrastructure which will enable Lifecomm to provide service to its customers and (ii) a Services Agreement with Lifecomm pursuant to which we will provide, over no more than six years, $10.9 million of in-kind selling, general and administrative services (based on agreed upon billing rates

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

set forth in the Services Agreement) to support the venture. In addition, we agreed to enter into a Telematics Services Agreement that will include, among other things, a per-user per-month fee for wireless connectivity, billing, portal access and other associated services. In exchange for approximately 36% of the membership interests, Qualcomm (i) provided $6.0 million of cash, (ii) entered into a Know-How License Agreement pursuant to which Lifecomm licensed certain “know-how” previously developed by Qualcomm and also provided Lifecomm access to the Lifecomm name and (iii) a Services Agreement with Lifecomm pursuant to which Qualcomm will contribute a portion of the value of certain future engineering and project management services, up to an aggregate value of $5.0 million. In exchange for approximately 10% of the membership interests, AMAC (i) provided $4.0 million of cash and (ii) entered into a Value Added Reseller Agreement pursuant to which AMAC will be a preferred distributor of Lifecomm’s products and services. In addition, pursuant to the LLC Agreement, each member has agreed to fund its pro rata share of a $2.0 million stand-by equity commitment for Lifecomm’s benefit. Assuming Lifecomm draws the entire commitment, we will be required to provide approximately $1.1 million of cash.

Each of the initial members have preemptive rights with respect to future issuances of securities by Lifecomm, as well as rights of first offer, drag-along and tag-along rights on transfers of securities by the other members. In addition, for a two year period beginning on May 12, 2014, any member (or group of members) holding at least 25% of the membership interests in Lifecomm will have the right to demand either an auction for the sale of Lifecomm or an initial public offering of Lifecomm. Should Lifecomm fail to achieve either of these liquidity events within 180 days of the demand, then to the extent at such time we hold at least 50% of the outstanding membership interests of Lifecomm and our common stock is publicly traded, each other member will be entitled on a one-time basis to exchange all of its membership interests in Lifecomm for shares of our common stock with equivalent fair market value. While we determined that such right to exchange is a freestanding derivative instrument, as the fair market value of our common stock to be issued in the exchange will be equal to the fair market value of the membership interests of Lifecomm received, the value of the derivative instrument is not material as of December 31, 2010.

In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance governing consolidation, we have determined that Lifecomm is a VIE for which we are the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, we have included Lifecomm’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2010 and for such period following the formation of Lifecomm during the year ended December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, Lifecomm’s assets consisted of approximately $8.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, approximately $0.5 million of short-term investments that are held-to-maturity, $3.0 million of intangible assets and approximately $0.5 million of capitalized software costs and fixed assets, and its liabilities consisted of approximately $1.2 million of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

(7) Income Taxes

We file a consolidated Federal income tax return with our eligible subsidiaries. For Federal income tax purposes, we have unused net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $209.8 million expiring in 2022 through 2030 and unused tax credits of approximately $3.6 million expiring in 2022 through 2030. Due to

HUGHES TELEMATICS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

our acquisition of Networkfleet, approximately $1.9 million of the NOL carryforwards are subject to an annual limitation in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 382, related to ownership changes. After 2010, all of Networkfleet’s NOL carryforwards and unused tax credits will be available to offset our future taxable income unless subject to other limitations. We also have NOL carryforwards available to offset future taxable income in certain states where income tax returns are filed. The amounts available vary by state due to apportionment of losses to each state, and the expiration of the state NOL carryforwards vary in accordance with applicable state laws.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, our loss before income taxes, including non-controlling interests, was approximately $89.6 million. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, our loss before income taxes was approximately $163.7 million and $57.5 million, respectively. The income tax expense consists of the following:

In assessing the need to record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, management considers, based upon all available evidence, whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Due to our historical operating losses, there is uncertainty with respect to whether we will ultimately realize our deferred tax assets. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we recorded a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax asset.

Our accounting for uncertain tax positions did not result in an accrual for uncertain tax positions taken in current or prior years, settlements with the taxing authorities or a lapse of the applicable statute of limitations. There are no uncertain tax positions that, if recognized, would significantly affect the effective tax rate, and there are no uncertain tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of the unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. We may be subject to examination by the U.S. federal and various state tax jurisdictions for the 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 tax years. Under the terms of the purchase agreement between us and the former parent company of Networkfleet, the former parent company agreed to indemnify us for any taxes imposed on Networkfleet for periods prior to August 1, 2006. We will include interest and penalties related to its tax contingencies in income tax expense. No such interest or penalties have been recognized.

(8) Impairment of Long Lived Assets

Until the second quarter of 2009, we had a contract to be the telematics service provider in the United States for Old Chrysler. On April 30, 2009, Old Chrysler filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the United States bankruptcy code. On June 10, 2009, New Chrysler purchased substantially all of the assets of Old Chrysler in the bankruptcy process. At a hearing held on July 16, 2009, Old Chrysler rejected certain contracts, including our telematics services contract with Old Chrysler, and therefore, the contract was terminated. We had been in

HUGHES TELEMATICS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

negotiations with New Chrysler concerning a new telematics services agreement. However, the parties reached an impasse in the negotiations, and as a result, we discontinued working with New Chrysler to deploy our hardware and launch our services as previously planned. In light of the termination of our contract with Old Chrysler and the discontinuation of work towards launch with New Chrysler, we evaluated for impairment certain equipment, capitalized software costs and other assets related to the deployment of hardware and services to New Chrysler vehicles. Accordingly, we recorded impairment charges in the year ended December 31, 2009 totaling approximately $20.8 million to write down these assets to their estimated net realizable values. The impairment consisted of approximately $11.8 million of capitalized software, approximately $3.6 million of equipment and approximately $5.4 million of other assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we continue to market portions of the underlying technology that was developed in the effort for Old Chrysler to other interested parties.

Senior Secured Term Indebtedness

As additional consideration for services provided by the lead arranger in connection with the issuance and syndication of the senior secured term indebtedness, we issued warrants to an affiliate of the lead arranger to purchase the equivalent of an aggregate of 1,181,244 shares of common stock, comprised of 271,604 initial shares and 909,640 earn-out shares, at an equivalent exercise price of less than $0.01 per share.

The senior secured term indebtedness is guaranteed by all of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries and is secured by all of our tangible and intangible assets. At our election, the term indebtedness bears interest at (i) the Prime Lending Rate plus 10.00% or (ii) for Eurocurrency borrowings, 11.00% plus the greater of London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or 3.00%. In accordance with an agreement between us and one of the senior secured note holders, the interest rate on term indebtedness with an initial principal amount of $5.0 million will have an interest rate of no higher than 14.00% for the term of the debt. With respect to Eurocurrency borrowings, we may elect interest periods of one, two, three, or six months (or nine or twelve months if approved by each senior secured note holder), and interest is payable in arrears at the end of each interest period but, in any event,

HUGHES TELEMATICS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

at least every three months. With respect to all interest periods ending on or prior to March 31, 2010, the interest accrued on the senior secured term indebtedness was paid in kind in arrears with such accrued interest being added to the outstanding principal balance of the term indebtedness. With respect to all interest periods ending after March 31, 2010, the accrued interest will be paid in cash in arrears. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, senior secured term indebtedness with an aggregate principal amount, including the accrued interest which had been paid in kind, of approximately $76.9 million and $74.5 million, respectively, was outstanding. As of December 31, 2010, we had elected that all outstanding amounts consist of Prime Lending borrowings which resulted in the term indebtedness bearing an interest rate of 13.25%.

The First Lien Credit Agreement requires us to comply with negative covenants which include, among others, limitations on our ability to incur additional debt; create liens; pay dividends or make other distributions; make loans and investments; sell assets; redeem or repurchase capital stock or subordinated debt; engage in specified transactions with affiliates; consolidate or merge with or into, or sell substantially all of our assets to, another person; and enter into new lines of business. We may incur indebtedness beyond the specific limits allowed under the First Lien Credit Agreement, provided we maintain a leverage ratio of 5.0 to 1.0. In addition, we may incur limited indebtedness secured by junior and subordinated liens to the liens created under the First Lien Credit Agreement. Noncompliance with any of the covenants without cure or waiver would constitute an event of default. An event of default resulting from a breach of a covenant may result, at the option of the note holders, in an acceleration of the principal and interest outstanding. The First Lien Credit Agreement also contains other events of default (subject to specified grace periods), including defaults based on the termination of the Mercedes-Benz contract, events of bankruptcy or insolvency and nonpayment of principal, interest or fees when due. The First Lien Credit Agreement also requires us to use 25% of the net cash proceeds from certain equity issuances for the repayment of senior secured term indebtedness.

As of each issuance date, we ascribed value to the senior secured term indebtedness and the related warrants based on their relative fair values. As such, an aggregate of $46.9 million was allocated to the senior secured term indebtedness and an aggregate of $12.1 million was allocated to the warrants. The resulting discount from the face value of the senior secured term indebtedness resulting from the ascribed value to the warrants will be amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the senior secured term indebtedness using the effective interest rate method. As of December 31, 2010, the fair value of the senior secured indebtedness approximated carrying value.

In connection with the issuance of the senior secured term indebtedness to Apollo Investment Fund V (PLASE) LP (“AIF V PLASE”), an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, LLC (“Apollo”) and of our controlling stockholder, Communications Investors, LLC (“Communications LLC”), on December 12, 2008, we recorded a deemed capital contribution of approximately $1.0 million related to the difference between (i) the fair value of the note using an estimated interest rate we would have paid an unrelated third party on a similar note and (ii) the fair value of the note using the stated interest rate. We determined the estimated fair value amount by using available market information and commonly accepted valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the fair value estimates presented herein is not necessarily indicative of the amount that we or holders of the instruments could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value. The discount from the face value of the senior secured term indebtedness resulting from the deemed capital contribution is being amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the senior secured term indebtedness using the effective interest rate method.

Based on an evaluation of the applicable accounting guidance, we determined that the warrants issued in connection with the issuance of the senior secured term indebtedness contained provisions which indicated that the warrants were not indexed to HUGHES Telematics stock and thus required us to account for the warrants as a

HUGHES TELEMATICS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

derivative instrument which was marked to market with the change in fair value of the warrant being recognized as a gain or loss in our consolidated statements of operations. Specifically, the provision which indicated that the warrants were not indexed to HUGHES Telematics stock was an anti-dilution provision which allowed for a reduction in the exercise price of the warrant to the extent an affiliate of HUGHES Telematics who also held warrants received a more favorable anti-dilution adjustment than the adjustment otherwise provided for in the lender warrants. Accordingly, we reclassified the $26.7 million fair value of the warrants from equity to a liability and recorded such amount as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as of January 1, 2009, the date the required guidance became effective for us. We recognized a charge of approximately $10.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 related to the increase in fair market value of these instruments during such period. Such charge is included in change in fair value of derivative instruments on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As the warrants were automatically exercised in accordance with their terms upon consummation of the Merger, we will not record additional charges in future periods related to these warrants.

Second Lien Term Indebtedness

On December 17, 2009, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”) with PLASE HT, LLC (“PLASE HT”), as administrative agent, collateral agent and original lender, pursuant to which we issued indebtedness due October 1, 2013 with an original principal amount of $15.0 million and warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. PLASE HT is an affiliate of Apollo and of our controlling stockholder, Communications, LLC. The loans under the Second Lien Credit Agreement bear interest at 9.00% per annum, payable-in-kind, and are guaranteed by all of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries. The loans are secured by a second priority lien on substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets. The liens granted in connection with the Second Lien Credit Agreement are expressly subject and subordinated to the liens securing our obligations under the First Lien Credit Agreement.

We ascribed value to the indebtedness issued in connection with the Second Lien Credit Agreement and the related warrants based on their relative fair values. As such, approximately $9.6 million of the proceeds was allocated to the indebtedness and the remaining approximately $5.4 million was allocated to the warrants. The resulting discount from the face value of the indebtedness resulting from the ascribed value to the warrants will be amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the indebtedness using the effective interest rate method. As of December 31, 2010, the fair value of the indebtedness approximated carrying value.

Senior Unsecured Promissory Note

On December 18, 2009, we issued to Hughes Network Systems, LLC (“HNS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of HUGHES Communications, Inc. (“HCI”) and controlled by investment funds that are affiliates of Apollo, a senior unsecured promissory note with a principal amount of approximately $8.3 million through the conversion of a trade accounts payable balance of approximately $6.0 million and the approximately $2.3 million outstanding balance on an equipment financing arrangement owed to HNS. The promissory note accrues interest at a rate of 12.00% per annum, compounded annually, and was to become due and payable on December 31, 2010. Pursuant to the terms of the promissory note, we were required to make scheduled principal payments of approximately $0.8 million on April 15, 2010 and $1.5 million on each of July 15, 2010 and October 15, 2010. In addition, subject to all restrictions in the First Lien Credit Agreement and Second Lien Credit Agreement and certain other limitations, to the extent we sell any capital equipment purchased by us (or purchased by HNS on our behalf) for use in connection with the Telematics Agreement between the parties, but no longer needed by us, we are required to make payments on the promissory note equal to the proceeds from the sale of such capital equipment (net of any selling costs).

On November 5, 2010, we and HNS agreed to amend the promissory note to (i) extend the maturity date to December 31, 2011, (ii) revise the schedule of principal payments and (iii) provide that the approximately $1.0 million of accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid on December 31, 2010 with all future accrued interest on the promissory note paid quarterly in arrears. Pursuant to the terms of the amended promissory note, we made scheduled principal payments of $0.5 million on each of October 15, 2010 and December 31, 2010 and are required to make scheduled principal payments of $0.5 million on April 15, 2011, approximately $0.8 million on July 15, 2011, $1.5 million on October 15, 2011 and the balance on December 31, 2011. In connection with the amendment to the promissory note, we issued 50,000 shares of common stock to HNS as an amendment fee. During the year ended December, 31, 2010, we repaid approximately $2.7 million of principal and paid approximately $1.0 million of interest on the senior unsecured promissory note. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the outstanding balance on the senior unsecured promissory note, including accrued interest, was approximately $5.6 million and $8.5 million, respectively.

Senior Subordinated Unsecured Promissory Notes

On March 31, 2008, we issued to Communications LLC a senior subordinated unsecured promissory note with a principal amount of $12.5 million and a maturity date of October 1, 2013. The note bears interest at a rate of 15.00% per annum which is compounded and added to the principal amount annually and is payable at maturity. In connection with the issuance of the note, we recorded a deemed capital contribution of approximately $2.4 million related to the difference between (i) the fair value of the note using an estimated interest rate we would have paid an unrelated third party on a similar note and (ii) the fair value of the note using the 15.00% stated interest rate. The discount from the face value of the note resulting from the deemed capital contribution will be amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the note using the effective interest rate method.

On December 12, 2008, we issued to AIF V PLASE an additional senior subordinated unsecured promissory note with a principal amount of $3.5 million and a maturity date of October 1, 2013. The note bears interest at 15.00% per annum which is compounded and added to the principal amount annually and is payable at maturity. In connection with the issuance of the note, we recorded an additional deemed capital contribution of approximately $2.4 million related to the difference between (i) the fair value of the note using an estimated interest rate we would have paid an unrelated third party on a similar note and (ii) the fair value of the note using the 15.00% stated interest rate. The discount from the face value of the note resulting from the deemed capital contribution will be amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the note using the effective interest rate method.

On June 16, 2009, we initiated an offer to the holders of all of the 19,500,000 then outstanding publicly-traded warrants to purchase shares of common stock the opportunity, for a limited time, to exchange 20 warrants for one share of common stock. The offer expired on July 24, 2009, and pursuant to the offer, we accepted for exchange 1,094,620 warrants and issued 54,731 shares of common stock. All of the warrants acquired in the exchange were cancelled.

25% of the net cash proceeds from the private placement for the repayment of senior secured term indebtedness and paid the senior secured lenders an amendment fee of approximately $0.1 million. In addition, as a result of the private placement, the exercise price of the warrant issued in connection with the second lien term indebtedness was adjusted from $6.00 per share to $5.99 per share.

As of December 31, 2010, there were 92,675,404 shares of common stock outstanding, including 58,498,131 earn-out shares, which are held in escrow and will be released upon the achievement of certain share price targets by March 31, 2014. In addition, there were outstanding warrants to purchase 16,743,180 shares of common stock at a price of $7.00 per share and a warrant outstanding to purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $5.99 per share.

Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock

In July 2006, we issued and sold to Communications LLC, for an aggregate purchase price of $40.0 million, 4,000 shares of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase the equivalent of 12,191,598 shares of common stock, comprised of 2,803,223 initial shares and 9,388,375 earn-out shares, at an equivalent exercise price of $0.82 per share. In June 2007, we issued and sold to Communications LLC, for an aggregate purchase price of $15.0 million, an additional 1,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase the equivalent of 9,143,698 shares of common stock, comprised of 2,102,417 initial shares and 7,041,281 earn-out shares, at an equivalent exercise price of $1.64 per share. In November 2007, we issued and sold to Communications LLC, for an aggregate purchase price of $20.0 million, an additional 2,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase the equivalent of 12,191,598 shares of common stock, comprised of 2,803,223 initial shares and 9,388,375 earn-out shares, at an equivalent exercise price of $2.46 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock was non-voting, had a liquidation preference of $10,000 per share and was senior in priority to our common stock. On October 1, 2013, we were to be required to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at a redemption price equal to $10,000 per share.

As of each sale date, we ascribed value to the Series A Preferred Stock and the warrant based on their relative fair values. As such, an aggregate of $54.8 million was allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and an aggregate of $20.2 million was allocated to the warrants. The Series A Preferred Stock was accounted for in accordance with the accounting guidance governing financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity, with the accretion of the book value of the Series A Preferred Stock up to the $75.0 million redemption amount being recorded as interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Based on an evaluation of newly effective guidance in determining whether an instrument or embedded features are indexed to an entity’s own stock, we determined that the warrants issued in connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock contained provisions which, in accordance with the new guidance, indicated that the warrants were not indexed to HUGHES Telematics stock and thus required us to account for the warrants as a derivative instrument which are marked to market with the change in fair value of the warrant being recognized as a gain or loss in our consolidated statements of operations. Specifically, the provisions which indicated that the warrants were not indexed to HUGHES Telematics stock were (i) an anti-dilution provision which allowed for a reduction in the exercise price of the warrant if we either issued equity shares for a price that was lower than the exercise price of the warrant or issued new warrants or convertible instruments that had a lower exercise price and (ii) a provision which allowed for an adjustment to the anti-dilution provisions to the extent we issued new warrants or convertible instruments that contained more favorable anti-dilution provisions. Accordingly, upon the adoption of the newly effective guidance, we reclassified the $107.2 million fair value of the warrants from equity to a liability and recorded such amount as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle as of January 1, 2009. We recognized a charge of approximately $45.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2009 related to the increase in fair market value of these instruments during such period. Such

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

charge is included in change in fair value of derivative instruments on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As the warrants were exercised in connection with the Merger, we will not record additional charges in future periods related to these warrants.

Immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock were extinguished through (i) the exercise by Communications LLC of the warrants issued in connection with the Series A Preferred Stock using 5,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock with an aggregate face value of $55.0 million and (ii) the exchange of 2,000 shares of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock with an aggregate face value of $20.0 million for shares of Old HTI common stock which were subsequently exchanged in connection with the Merger for 2,000,000 shares of common stock, comprised of 459,861 initial shares and 1,540,139 earn-out shares. In connection with the extinguishment of the Series A Preferred Stock, we recorded an approximately $12.3 million decrease in additional paid-in capital for the difference between (i) the fair value of the shares of common stock and (ii) the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock and the warrants.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

On March 12, 2009, we issued and sold 5,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $50.0 million. AIF V PLASE purchased 1,200,000 of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock for $12.0 million of cash, and HCI, parent of HNS and controlled by investment funds that are affiliates of Apollo, purchased 1,300,000 of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock through the conversion of $13.0 million of trade accounts payable transferred from HNS. The remaining 2,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were purchased by unrelated institutional investors for $25.0 million of cash. For consulting and financial advisory services provided in connection with the sale of the Series B Preferred Stock, we paid Trivergance, LLC (“Trivergance”), an affiliate of a member of our board of directors, approximately $1.3 million of cash and issued Trivergance a warrant to purchase the equivalent of 314,117 shares of common stock, comprised of 72,224 initial shares and 241,893 earn-out shares, at an equivalent exercise price of approximately $0.167 per share. The warrant was exercised in connection with the Merger.

The Series B Preferred Stock had an initial liquidation preference of $10.00 per share which was to increase quarterly at a rate of 8.0% per annum and was senior in priority to each of the Series A Preferred Stock and the HUGHES Telematics common stock. The Series B Preferred Stock was convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of HUGHES Telematics common stock and was subject to redemption at the option of the holder at any time after October 1, 2013. Pursuant to the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, in connection with the Merger, the Series B Preferred Stock was automatically exchanged for 12,500,000 shares of common stock, comprised of 5,000,000 initial shares and 7,500,000 earn-out shares.

We evaluated the Series B Preferred Stock to determine whether any of the features included in the Series B Preferred Stock should be treated as an embedded derivative which would be accounted for as a separate instrument under the guidance over accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities. We determined that the automatic exchange feature of the Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to which the Series B Preferred Stock would be directly exchanged for shares of Polaris common stock in connection with the Merger should be considered a separate derivative instrument as, pursuant to new guidance over determining whether an instrument or embedded features are indexed to an entity’s own stock, the exchange provision was not considered indexed to HUGHES Telematics stock but rather indexed to Polaris stock. Accordingly, at the time of issuance, we estimated the fair value of the exchange feature by using available market information and commonly accepted valuation methodologies and ascribed approximately $7.1 million of the proceeds from the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock to the exchange feature and recorded a liability in such amount. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recognized a charge of approximately $7.0 million related to the increase in fair market value of the exchange feature during the period. Such charge is included in change in fair value of derivative

instruments on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As the Series B Preferred Stock was extinguished in connection with the Merger, we will not record additional charges in future periods related to this derivative instrument.

The remaining $42.9 million of proceeds from the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock was accounted for in accordance with the applicable guidance over accounting for convertible securities with beneficial conversion features. Accordingly, a discount on the Series B Preferred Stock was recorded for the entire balance of the remaining proceeds, with that amount allocated to a beneficial conversion feature resulting from the ability of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock to convert the shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of HUGHES Telematics common stock at a conversion price lower than the fair value of the HUGHES Telematics common stock at such time. As this conversion feature was immediately available to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, the related discount on the Series B Preferred Stock was immediately accreted and a deemed dividend of approximately $42.9 million was recorded on the date of issuance. We recorded an additional deemed dividend of approximately $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 representing the accretion of the discount on the Series B Preferred Stock related to the embedded derivative and issue costs over the 4.5 year period through October 1, 2013 when the Series B Preferred Stock first became redeemable at the option of the holder. Upon consummation of the Merger and the exchange of the Series B Preferred Stock for common stock, we recorded an additional deemed dividend of approximately $13.6 million related to the difference between (i) the fair value of our common stock received by the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and (ii) the carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock, the amount allocated to the beneficial conversion feature and the embedded derivative for the automatic exchange provision. Each of these deemed dividends have been reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in determining the net loss attributable to common stockholders.

(12) Share-Based Compensation

Our 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) provides for share-based compensation awards, including incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and share awards, to our officers, employees, non-employee directors and non-employee consultants. There are 3,047,900 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2006 Plan. The 2006 Plan is administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors which determines eligibility, amount, and other terms and conditions of awards. Options awarded under the 2006 Plan generally have a term of ten years and all have an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair value of the underlying shares of common stock on the date of grant. Generally, half of each award vests in equal parts over a period of three years of continued employment or service with us. The remaining half of each award vests upon the achievement of certain pre-established performance goals set by our board of directors. In the event an option holder’s service to us is terminated for either (i) other than good reason, as defined in the Plan, before the fifth anniversary of the holder’s service to us or (ii) cause, we may repurchase any stock obtained through the exercise of a stock option within 180 days of such holder’s termination date at a price equal to the lesser of the fair market value of the stock on the date of termination or the exercise price of the stock option. In the event an option holder’s service to us is terminated for any of (i) good reason, as defined in the 2006 Plan, (ii) other than cause or (iii) following the fifth anniversary of such holder’s service to us, we may repurchase any stock obtained through the exercise of a stock option within 180 days of such holder’s termination date at a price equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of termination. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we granted, under the 2006 Plan, options to purchase an aggregate of 315,000 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2010, options to purchase 2,292,471 shares of common stock were outstanding under the 2006 Plan, and there were 694,471 shares of common stock available for future grants.

Our 2009 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”) provides for the grant of share-based awards, including restricted common stock, restricted stock units, stock options, stock appreciation rights and other share-based awards, as well as cash bonuses and long-term cash awards to our directors, officers, employees, advisors and consultants who are selected for participation in the 2009 Plan. There are 2,500,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2009 Plan. The 2009 Plan is administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors which determines eligibility, amount, and other terms and conditions of awards. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we granted, under the 2009 Plan, options to purchase an aggregate of 147,000 shares of common stock and 413,063 shares of restricted stock. As of December 31, 2010, options to purchase 1,508,486 shares of common stock and 839,280 shares of restricted common stock were outstanding under the 2009 Plan, and there were 39,434 shares of common stock available for future grants under the 2009 Plan.

In accordance with the accounting principles for share-based payments, we record compensation expense for all share-based awards issued. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we recorded approximately $2.9 million, $1.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to stock option and restricted stock grants. Such compensation expense is included in cost of services, research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Stock Options

The fair value of each stock option award is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the weighted average grant-date fair value of options awarded was $2.00, $3.44 and $1.32 per share, respectively, and was based on the following assumptions:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2010	2009	2008
Risk-free rate	2.9 – 3.7%	3.4 – 3.8%	3.8 – 3.9%
Expected term (years)	10	10	10
Expected volatility	60.0%	60.0%	62.2 – 63.7%
Dividend yield	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon the grant date closing rate for United States treasury notes that have a life which approximates the expected term of the options. The expected term is based on the contractual term of each employee stock option grant as we do not have sufficient operating history to estimate a term shorter than the contractual term. The expected volatility is based on the average historical volatility of comparable guideline companies. The dividend yield assumption is based on our expectation that we will not pay dividends for the foreseeable future. Forfeitures are estimated based on our actual terminations.

Apollo Global Management, LLC

Communications LLC, AIF V PLASE and PLASE HT are each affiliated with Apollo. As of December 31, 2010, Apollo, through these entities, owned approximately 62% of our outstanding common stock. HCI, also an affiliate of Apollo, owned an additional approximately 4% of our outstanding common stock.

On March 31, 2008, we issued to Communications LLC a senior subordinated unsecured promissory note with a principal amount of $12.5 million and a maturity date of October 1, 2013 (see Note 9). The note bears interest at a rate of 15.00% per annum which is compounded and added to the principal amount annually and is payable at maturity. In connection with the issuance of the note, we recorded a deemed capital contribution of approximately $2.4 million related to the difference between (i) the fair value of the note using an estimated interest rate we would have paid an unrelated third party on a similar note and (ii) the fair value of the note using the 15.00% stated interest rate.

In connection with the issuance of the note, we recorded a deemed capital contribution of approximately $1.0 million related to the difference between (i) the fair value of the note using an estimated interest rate we would have paid an unrelated third party on a similar note and (ii) the fair value of the note using the stated interest rate.

On December 12, 2008, we issued to AIF V PLASE a senior subordinated unsecured promissory note with a principal amount of $3.5 million and a maturity date of October 1, 2013 (see Note 9). The note bears interest at a rate of 15.00% per annum which is compounded and added to the principal amount annually and is payable at maturity. In connection with the issuance of the note, we recorded a deemed capital contribution of approximately $2.4 million related to the difference between (i) the fair value of the note using an estimated interest rate we would have paid an unrelated third party on a similar note and (ii) the fair value of the note using the 15.00% stated interest rate.

On December 17, 2009, we entered into the Second Lien Credit Agreement with PLASE HT as administrative agent, collateral agent and original lender, pursuant to which we issued indebtedness due October 1, 2013 with an original principal amount of $15.0 million (see Note 9). The loans under the Second Lien Credit Agreement bear interest at 9.00% per annum, payable-in-kind, and are guaranteed by all of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries. The loans are secured by a second priority lien on substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets. The liens granted in connection with the Second Lien Credit Agreement are expressly subject and subordinated to the liens securing our obligations under the First Lien Credit Agreement. In connection with the issuance of the Second Lien Credit Agreement, we issued PLASE HT a warrant to purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. As a result of the private placement completed on May 13, 2010, the exercise price of the warrant was adjusted to $5.99 per share.

On the date of each issuance, we determined the estimated fair value amount by using available market information and commonly accepted valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the fair value estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amount that we or holders of the instruments could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value.

On March 12, 2009, we issued and sold 1,200,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to AIF V PLASE for $12.0 million (see Note 11). In connection with the Merger, such shares of Series B Preferred Stock were exchanged for 3,000,000 shares of common stock, comprised of 1,200,000 initial shares and 1,800,000 earn-out shares.

In December 2009, AIF V PLASE transferred its ownership in all of its equity and debt interests of us, including its holding of senior secured term indebtedness, the senior subordinated unsecured promissory note and common stock, to PLASE HT.

In July 2006, HNS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HCI, which is controlled by investment funds that are affiliates of Apollo, granted us a limited license allowing us to use the HUGHES trademark. The license is limited in that we may use the HUGHES trademark only in connection with our business of automotive telematics and only in combination with the Telematics name. As partial consideration for the license, the agreement provides that HNS will be our preferred engineering services provider. The license is royalty-free, except that we have agreed to commence paying a royalty to HNS in the event we no longer have a commercial or affiliated relationship with HNS. As contemplated by the license terms and while the definitive agreement governing the relationship was being negotiated, HNS provided engineering development services to us pursuant

to an Authorization to Proceed. In January 2008, we executed a definitive agreement with HNS pursuant to which HNS continued to provide us with engineering development and manufacturing services. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, HNS provided approximately $0.5 million, $23.4 million and $30.9 million of services, respectively, to us. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had an outstanding balance, not including the senior unsecured promissory note discussed below, of $0 and approximately $0.2 million, respectively, payable to HNS.

In June 2008, we entered into an arrangement with HNS pursuant to which HNS purchased, on our behalf, certain production equipment for an aggregate amount of approximately $2.0 million. Under this arrangement, we agreed to pay HNS at a rate of $4.94 per telematics hardware device manufactured using the equipment, provided that (i) we were to pay HNS a minimum of $0.2 million under this arrangement by December 31, 2009 and (ii) we were to pay HNS the balance of the amount owed under this arrangement plus all accrued interest by December 31, 2010. Interest accrued on the outstanding balance at a rate of 11.00% per annum.

On March 12, 2009, we issued and sold 1,300,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to HCI in exchange for the conversion of $13.0 million of trade accounts payable transferred to HCI from HNS. In connection with the Merger, such shares of Series B Preferred Stock were exchanged for 3,250,000 shares of common stock, comprised of 1,300,000 initial shares and 1,950,000 earn-out shares.

On December 18, 2009, we issued to HNS a senior unsecured promissory note with a principal amount of approximately $8.3 million through the conversion of a trade accounts payable balance of approximately $6.0 million and the approximately $2.3 million outstanding balance on the equipment financing arrangement owed to HNS. The promissory note accrues interest at a rate of 12.00% per annum, compounded annually, and was to become due and payable on December 31, 2010. Pursuant to the terms of the promissory note, we were required to make scheduled principal payments of approximately $0.8 million on April 15, 2010 and $1.5 million on each of July 15, 2010 and October 15, 2010. In addition, subject to all restrictions in the First Lien Credit Agreement and Second Lien Credit Agreement and certain other limitations, to the extent we sell any capital equipment purchased by us (or purchased by HNS on our behalf) for use in connection with the Telematics Agreement between the parties, but no longer needed by us, we are required to make payments on the promissory note equal to the proceeds from the sale of such capital equipment (net of any selling costs).

On November 5, 2010, we and HNS agreed to amend the promissory note to (i) extend the maturity date to December 31, 2011, (ii) revise the schedule of principal payments and (iii) provide that the approximately $1.0 million of accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid on December 31, 2010 with all future accrued interest on the promissory note paid quarterly in arrears. Pursuant to the terms of the amended promissory note, we made scheduled principal payments of $0.5 million on each of October 15, 2010 and December 31, 2010 and are required to make scheduled principal payments of $0.5 million on April 15, 2011, approximately $0.8 million on July 15, 2011, $1.5 million on October 15, 2011 and the balance on December 31, 2011. In connection with the amendment to the promissory note, we issued 50,000 shares of common stock to HNS as an amendment fee. During the year ended December, 31, 2010, we repaid approximately $2.7 million of principal and paid approximately $1.0 million of interest on the senior unsecured promissory note. In connection with the amendment to the promissory note, we issued 50,000 shares of common stock to HNS as an amendment fee. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the outstanding balance on the senior unsecured promissory note, including accrued interest, was approximately $5.6 million and $8.5 million, respectively.

Three members of our board of directors, including our chief executive officer and two members affiliated with Apollo, are members of the board of managers of HNS and the board of directors of HCI.

This contract also required us to pay the automaker for certain non-recurring costs associated with the initiation of telematics services. Pursuant to the contract, we are currently committed to pay $4.0 million to the automaker during the year ending December 31, 2011.

In December 2010, we entered into an amended agreement with a supplier pursuant to which we committed to purchase services in an aggregate amount of no less than $4.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2010, $2.5 million in the year ending December 31, 2011, $5.5 million in the year ending December 31, 2012, and $9.0 million in each of the years ending December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015. If it becomes probable that the anticipated services to be purchased under this agreement will be below the contractual minimums, we will record a liability for such anticipated shortfall.

Concurrent with the private placement, we entered into an incremental loan commitment agreement with the Purchasers pursuant to which the Purchasers made loans in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $5.0 million under the terms of the Second Lien Credit Agreement.

Item 11.

Executive Compensation.

The compensation committee of our board of directors is empowered to review and approve, or recommend for the approval of the full board of directors, compensation for our executive officers.

Objectives of Compensation Program

The primary objective of our compensation program, including the executive compensation program, is to attract and retain qualified management personnel who can work in our dynamic business environment. A further objective of the compensation program is to provide incentives and reward each member of management for his or her contribution to our business. In addition, we strive to promote an ownership mentality among key leadership and members of the board of directors. Finally, we endeavor to ensure that the compensation program is perceived as fundamentally fair to all stakeholders.

What the Compensation Program is Designed to Reward

The compensation program is designed to reward each executive officer’s contribution to our success. In measuring the executive officers’ contribution, the compensation committee is expected to consider numerous subjective factors, rather than more traditional metrics, in light of the fluid and growing nature of our business.

Our senior management provides to our compensation committee recommendations regarding most compensation matters. We do not currently engage any consultant related to executive and/or director compensation matters.

Stock price performance is expected to be a factor in determining annual compensation; however, to the extent the price of our common stock is subject to significant fluctuations due to a variety of factors outside of management’s control, the weight placed on stock performance may be lessened. It is not currently expected that there will be an exact formula for allocating between cash and non-cash compensation, although, to date, we have provided relatively little non-cash compensation, other than through stock option and restricted stock grants. Cash compensation is generally paid as earned.

Elements of the Compensation Plan and How They Relate to the Objectives

Annual executive officer compensation currently consists of a base salary component and a discretionary annual bonus component. In the future, the compensation committee is expected to set total executive cash compensation sufficiently high to attract and retain a strong, motivated leadership team and recognize executive officers’ roles in accomplishing extraordinary transactions.

Our directors, officers, employees and consultants may be awarded share-based compensation under either the HUGHES Telematics 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) or the HUGHES Telematics, Inc. 2009 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”). As set forth in the table below, with the heading “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End 2010,” each of our named executive officers has received stock option grants and restricted stock grants under these plans. The purpose of the plans is to promote the interests of our company, subsidiaries and stockholders by providing our directors, officers, employees and consultants with appropriate incentives and rewards to encourage them to enter into and continue in our employ or service, to acquire a proprietary interest in our long-term success and to reward the performance of individuals in fulfilling their personal responsibilities for long-range achievements.

Risks Arising from Compensation Policies and Practices

We believe that the design and governance of our executive compensation program is consistent with appropriate standards of risk management. Rather than determining incentive compensation awards based on a single metric, the compensation committee considers a balanced set of performance measures that collectively best indicate successful management of our assets and strategy. On an annual basis, the compensation committee evaluates the compensation provided to our employees, including the mix of compensation elements, so that our compensation programs reward the achievement of long-term strategic objectives as much as shorter-term business objectives. The compensation committee applies its informed judgment to compensation decisions, taking into account factors such as conservation of our capital resources and leveraging of equity and successful implementation of strategic initiatives. The use of equity awards, generally vesting over one to four years for restricted stock and stock options, aligns our executive officers’ interests with the long-term interests of our stockholders. Together, the features of our executive compensation program are intended to ensure that our compensation opportunities do not encourage excessive risk taking and focus our executives on managing our company toward long-term sustainable value for our stockholders.

HUGHES Telematics, Inc. 2009 Equity and Incentive Plan

The 2009 Plan provides for the grant of equity-based awards, including restricted common stock, restricted stock units, stock options, stock appreciation rights and other equity based awards, as well as cash bonuses and long-term cash awards to our officers and other employees, advisors and consultants who are selected by the compensation committee for participation in the 2009 Plan. Unless earlier terminated by the board of directors, the 2009 Plan will expire on March 31, 2019. The board of directors may amend the 2009 Plan at any time. Termination of the 2009 Plan and amendments to the 2009 Plan are not intended to adversely affect any award that is then outstanding without the award holder’s consent, and the Company must obtain stockholder approval of a 2009 Plan amendment if stockholder approval is required to comply with any applicable, law or regulation.

Administration of the 2009 Plan

The 2009 Plan is administered by the compensation committee, which has the authority to, among other things, exercise all the powers and authorities either specifically granted to it under the 2009 Plan or necessary or advisable in the administration of the 2009 Plan, including, without limitation, the authority to determine who will be granted awards and the types of awards that may be granted. The compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, without amendment to the 2009 Plan: (i) accelerate the date on which any option granted under the 2009 Plan becomes exercisable, waive or amend the operation of 2009 Plan provisions respecting exercise after termination of employment or otherwise adjust any of the terms of the option and (ii) accelerate the vesting date, or waive any condition imposed under the 2009 Plan, with respect to any restricted stock or other award, or otherwise adjust any of the terms applicable to any such award.

Equity Incentive Program

A maximum of 2,500,000 shares (subject to adjustment) of our common stock have been reserved for grants pursuant to the equity incentive program under the 2009 Plan, and a maximum of 1,000,000 shares (subject to adjustment) may be issued pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options granted under the 2009 Plan. Under the 2009 Plan, no more than 600,000 shares (subject to adjustment) of our common stock may be made subject to awards granted to a single individual in a single plan year. In the event that the compensation committee determines that any corporate event, such as a stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, repurchase or share exchange, affects our common stock such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of 2009 Plan participants, then the compensation committee will make those adjustments as it deems necessary or appropriate to any or all of:

•

the number and kind of shares of common stock or other securities that may thereafter be issued in connection with future awards;

•

the number and kind of shares of common stock, securities or other property issued or issuable in respect of outstanding awards;

•

the exercise price, grant price or purchase price relating to any award; and/or

•

the maximum number of shares subject to awards which may be awarded to any employee during any of our tax years; provided that, with respect to incentive stock options, any such adjustment will be made in accordance with Section 424 of the Code.

In the event the outstanding shares of our common stock will be changed into or exchanged for any other class or series of capital stock or cash, securities or other property pursuant to a re-capitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, combination or similar transaction, then, unless otherwise determined by the compensation committee: (i) each stock option will thereafter generally become exercisable for the number and/or kind of capital stock, and/or the amount of cash, securities or other property so distributed, into which the shares of common stock subject to the stock option would have been changed or exchanged had the option been exercised in full prior to such transaction and (ii) each award that is not a stock option and that is not automatically changed in connection with the transaction will represent the number and/or kind of shares of capital stock, and/or the amount of cash, securities or other property so distributed, into which the number of shares of common stock covered by the award would have been changed or exchanged had they been held by a stockholder.

The 2009 Plan provides that unless otherwise determined by the compensation committee, if on or within one year following a change in control (as defined in the 2009 Plan), a participant’s employment is terminated by us other than for cause (as defined in the 2009 Plan) or by the participant for good reason (as defined in the 2009 Plan): (i) any award or part of an award that is subject to time vesting that was not previously vested will become fully vested and (ii) any award or portion thereof, the vesting or exercisability of which is based upon the achievement of one or more performance goals within the one-year period following such termination of employment shall remain outstanding for a period of one year following such termination of employment, subject at all times to the earlier expiration of the original term of such award, and if the applicable goals are achieved during such period, the award shall become fully vested and exercisable.

Equity-based Awards—The compensation committee will determine all of the terms and conditions of equity-based awards granted under the 2009 Plan, including whether the vesting or payment of an award will be subject to the attainment of performance goals. The performance goals that may be applied to awards under the equity incentive program under the 2009 Plan are the same as those discussed below under “—Cash Incentive Programs.”

Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Awards—The terms and conditions of stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under the 2009 Plan are determined by the compensation committee and set forth in an agreement between us and the 2009 Plan participant. Stock options granted under the 2009 Plan may be “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code or non-qualified stock options. Pursuant to the 2009 Plan, a stock appreciation right confers on the participant the right to receive an amount, in cash or shares of our common stock (in the discretion of the compensation committee), equal to the excess of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price of the stock appreciation right, and may be granted alone or in tandem with another award. No stock appreciation rights have been granted under the 2009 Plan. The exercise price of an option granted under the 2009 Plan will not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, unless otherwise provided by the compensation committee. The vesting of a stock option or stock appreciation right will be subject to conditions as determined by the compensation committee, which may include the attainment of performance goals.

Restricted Stock Awards—The terms and conditions of awards of restricted stock granted under the 2009 Plan are determined by the compensation committee and set forth in an agreement between the Company and the 2009 Plan participant. These awards are subject to restrictions on transferability which may lapse under circumstances as determined by the compensation committee, which may include the attainment of performance

goals. Unless otherwise provided in the agreement, the holder of restricted stock will have the right to receive dividends on the restricted stock, which dividends will be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying award of restricted stock.

The 2009 Plan also provides for other equity-based awards, the form and terms of which will be as determined by the compensation committee, consistent with the purposes of the 2009 Plan. The vesting or payment of these awards may be made subject to the attainment of performance goals.

Cash Incentive Programs

Under the 2009 Plan, the compensation committee is authorized to grant annual and long-term cash awards to plan participants, including our executive officers. In general, with respect to cash awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, the maximum value of the total cash payment that any plan participant may receive under the 2009 Plan’s annual cash incentive program for any year is $2.5 million, and the maximum value of the total cash payment that any plan participant may receive under the 2009 Plan’s long-term cash incentive program for any one year of a long-term performance period is $2.5 million.

Payment of awards granted under the cash incentive programs may be made subject to the attainment of performance goals to be determined by the compensation committee in its discretion. With respect to awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, the compensation committee may base performance goals on one or more of the following business criteria applied to the Company, a subsidiary of the Company, a business unit, a product line or any combination thereof: (1) return on equity; (2) earnings per share; (3) net income (before or after taxes); (4) earnings before all or any of interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization; (5) operating income (6) cash flow; (7) return on assets; (8) market share; (9) cost reduction goals or levels of expenses, costs or liabilities; (10) earnings from continuing operations; or (11) any combination of one or more of the foregoing over a specified period. Such qualified performance-based goals may be expressed in terms of attaining a specified level of the particular criteria, the attainment of a percentage increase or decrease in the particular criteria, or may be applied to our performance, a subsidiary of ours, a business unit, product line, or any combination thereof, relative to a market index, a group of other companies (or their subsidiaries, business units or product lines), or a combination thereof. The compensation committee has the authority to make appropriate adjustments to such qualified performance goals to reflect the impact of extraordinary items (as defined in the 2009 Plan) not reflected in such goals.

Future grants under the 2009 Plan will be made at the discretion of the compensation committee and, accordingly, are not yet determinable. In addition, the value of the awards granted under the 2009 Plan will depend on a number of factors, including the fair market value of our common stock on future dates and the exercise decisions made by the participants and/or the extent to which any applicable performance goals necessary for vesting or payment are achieved. Consequently, it is not possible to determine the benefits that might be received by participants receiving discretionary grants under, or having their annual bonuses paid pursuant to, the 2009 Plan.

HUGHES Telematics, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan

Our 2006 Plan provides for share-based compensation awards, including incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and share awards, to our officers, employees, non-employee directors and non-employee consultants. There are 3,047,900 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2006 Plan. The 2006 Plan is administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors which determines eligibility, amount, and other terms and conditions of awards. Options awarded under the 2006 Plan generally have a term of ten years and an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair value of the underlying shares of common stock on the date of grant. Generally, half of each award vests in equal parts over a period of three years of continued employment or service to the Company. The remaining half of each award vests upon the achievement of certain pre-established performance goals set by our board of directors. In the event an option

holder’s service to us is terminated for either (i) other than good reason, as defined in the 2006 Plan, before the fifth anniversary of the holder’s service to us or (ii) cause, we may repurchase any stock obtained through the exercise of a stock option within 180 days of such holder’s termination date at a price equal to the lesser of the fair market value of the stock on the date of termination or the exercise price of the stock option. In the event an option holder’s service is terminated for any of (i) good reason, as defined in the 2006 Plan, (ii) other than cause or (iii) following the fifth anniversary of such holder’s service to us, we may repurchase any stock obtained through the exercise of a stock option within 180 days of such holder’s termination date at a price equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of termination. The 2006 Plan provides for the grant of equity-based awards, including restricted common stock, restricted stock units, stock options, stock appreciation rights and other equity based awards, as well as cash bonuses and long-term cash awards to our officers and other employees, advisors and consultants who are selected by the compensation committee.

How the Company Chooses Amounts for Each Element of Compensation

Each executive’s current and prior compensation has been and is expected to continue to be considered in setting future compensation. The elements of our compensation plan (e.g., base salary, bonus and stock options or restricted stock) are common to many companies. The precise mix and levels of these elements are set in an effort to balance the competing objectives of fairness to all stakeholders and attracting and retaining executives and other senior managers.

The base salaries of our named executive officers are reviewed on an annual basis by the compensation committee and at the time of a promotion or a significant change in responsibility. When determining whether to increase the base salary of an executive, the compensation committee considers individual and corporate performance, individual level of responsibility, inflation, contributions to our overall success and current competitive market levels. For the year ended December 31, 2010, after consideration of general economic conditions and in an effort to preserve capital, the compensation committee did not grant salary increases to our named executive officers.

While each of our named executive officers has a bonus target calculated as a percentage of his base salary, the compensation committee has discretion to determine on an annual basis the amount of the cash bonus, if any. The following bonus targets were determined at the time such named executive was hired and is based on the executive’s experience, responsibilities and job function:


Name	Bonus Target as a % of Base Salary
Jeffrey A. Leddy		75	%
Erik J. Goldman		50	%
Craig J. Kaufmann		30	%
Robert C. Lewis		30	%
Keith J. Schneider		50	%

Factors considered by the compensation committee when determining the amount of the bonus grant include primarily corporate performance, individual performance and contributions to our overall success. After consideration of general economic conditions, and in an effort to preserve capital, the compensation committee did not grant any cash bonuses to our named executive officers for services provided during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 or 2008, other than to Mr. Schneider who received a cash bonus from Networkfleet for services provided in the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 of approximately $149,000, $88,000 and $125,000, respectively, in light of the performance and continued growth of Networkfleet. See the table below with the heading “Summary Compensation Table” for additional details of the compensation paid to our named executive officers during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

When determining equity grants to our named executive officers, the compensation committee considers the amount of cash compensation paid to the individual, as well as individual contributions to our success and participation in extraordinary transactions which occurred during the year. As the named executives other than Mr. Schneider did not receive a cash bonus for services provided during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, and in light of, among other things, (i) the successful consummation of the Merger and other fundraising activities, (ii) continued progress towards the launch of our automotive manufacturer service offering with Mercedes-Benz and (iii) the level of executive ownership of our common stock, the compensation committee awarded the named executive officers other than Mr. Schneider a more significant equity grant in the year ended December 31, 2010 than in prior years. The specific amount of the grant to each individual was determined based on the executive officer’s equity ownership prior to the grant and with consideration to the executive’s bonus target. See the table below with the heading “2010 Grants of Plan Based Awards” for additional details of the equity grants made during the year ended December 31, 2010.

Grant Policies

We expect that future annual stock option or restricted stock grants to executive officers, including the named executive officers, and other employees will coincide with the meeting of the compensation committee following year-end, at which discretionary bonuses are considered. Except in the case of new hires, we do not expect the compensation committee generally to grant options on other dates. The grant date will be established when the compensation committee approves the grant. The exercise price of an option granted under the 2009 Plan will not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, unless otherwise provided by the compensation committee. If at the time of any planned option grant date any member of the board of directors or executive team is aware of material non-public information, we would not generally make the planned stock option grant. In such event, as soon as practical after material information is made public, the compensation committee will have a specially called meeting and/or otherwise take all necessary steps to authorize a stock option grant.

Accounting and Tax Considerations

We comply with the accounting guidance governing share-based payments which requires us to value stock options grants periodically under the fair value method and expense those amounts in the income statement over the stock option’s vesting period.

We have structured our compensation program to comply with Code Sections 162(m) and 409A. Under Section 162(m) of the Code, a limitation is placed on tax deductions of any publicly held corporation for individual compensation to certain executives of such corporation exceeding $1,000,000 in any taxable year, unless the compensation is performance-based. If an executive is entitled to nonqualified deferred compensation benefits that are subject to Section 409A, and such benefits do not comply with Section 409A, then the benefits are taxable in the first year they are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. In such case, the executive is subject to regular federal income tax, interest and an additional federal income tax of 20% of the benefit includible in income.

Employment Agreements

Our named executive officers other than Mr. Schneider are at-will employees.

Keith J. Schneider. Effective March 23, 2007, Networkfleet entered into a letter agreement with Keith J. Schneider concerning his employment. In addition to providing for a base salary of $250,000 per annum, Mr. Schneider’s letter agreement provides that he is eligible to receive a bonus following the end of each full calendar year during his employment, based upon achievement against both objective and subjective goals established by the board of directors of Networkfleet in its sole discretion (following consultation with him), in an amount equal to up to 50% of his salary. Mr. Schneider’s actual bonus for 2007 was pro-rated as he commenced employment with Networkfleet in April 2007.

Item 12.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.

The table below sets forth the beneficial ownership as of March 14, 2011. The table sets forth the actual beneficial ownership of our common stock by the following individuals or entities:

•

each person who own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our capital stock;

•

each of our directors and executive officers; and

•

all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Except as otherwise indicated, each person or entity named in the tables is expected to have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our capital stock shown as beneficially owned, subject to applicable community property laws.

As of March 14, 2011, 94,103,976 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding, of which 58,498,131 were earn-out shares or sponsor earn-out shares placed in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, to be released contingent upon our common stock meeting specified share price targets prior to March 31, 2014. The information presented under Column A in the table below reflects beneficial ownership excluding all shares subject to earn-out. Note that the beneficial ownership percentages under Column A do not reflect the voting power beneficially owned by these individuals and entities because their earn-out shares may be voted without restriction, which will have the net effect of increasing the voting power held by the stockholders holding such earn-out shares and decreasing the voting power held by other stockholders. The information presented under Column B in the table below reflects beneficial ownership including all shares subject to earn-out and reflects the voting power beneficially owned by the listed individuals and entities.

We have assumed no exercise of the outstanding warrants or options (other than, in the case of each individual or entity listed in the table below, warrants or stock options held by that individual or entity that will be exercisable for our common stock within 60 days of March 14, 2011).

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

Apollo Global Management LLC

Communications LLC, AIF V PLASE and PLASE HT are each affiliated with Apollo.

In March 2008, we issued to Communications LLC a senior subordinated unsecured promissory note with a principal amount of $12.5 million and a maturity date of October 1, 2013. The note bears interest at a rate of 15.00% per annum which is compounded and added to the principal amount annually and is payable at maturity.

In December 2008, we issued AIF V PLASE (i) for aggregate consideration of $5.0 million, senior secured term indebtedness with a principal amount of $5.0 million and warrants to purchase 402,993 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share and (ii) a senior subordinated unsecured promissory note with a principal amount of $3.5 million and a maturity date of October 1, 2013.

In March 2009, AIF V PLASE purchased 1,200,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock in exchange for $12.0 million of cash. In addition, in connection with the Merger, Apollo or certain of its affiliates became signatories to each of the Shareholders Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, Apollo serves as escrow representative.

In December 2009, we entered into the Second Lien Credit Agreement with PLASE HT, as administrative agent, collateral agent and original lender, pursuant to which we issued indebtedness due October 1, 2013 with an original principal amount of $15.0 million. The loans under the Second Lien Credit Agreement bear interest at 9.00% per annum, payable-in-kind, and are guaranteed by all of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries. The loans are secured by a second priority lien on substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets. The liens granted in connection with the Second Lien Credit Agreement are expressly subject and subordinated to the liens securing our obligations under the First Lien Credit Agreement. In connection with the issuance of the Second Lien Credit Agreement, we issued PLASE HT a warrant to purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share and entered into a customary registration rights agreement. As a result of the private placement completed on May 13, 2010, the exercise price of the warrant was adjusted to $5.99 per share.

Hughes Communications, Inc. and Hughes Network Systems, LLC

In July 2006, HNS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HCI, which is controlled by investment funds that are affiliates of Apollo, granted a limited license to us allowing us to use the HUGHES trademark. The license is limited in that we may use the HUGHES trademark only in connection with our business of automotive telematics and only in combination with the Telematics name. As partial consideration for the license, the agreement provides that HNS will be our preferred engineering services provider. The license is royalty-free, except that we agreed to commence paying a royalty to HNS in the event we no longer have a commercial or affiliated relationship with HNS. As contemplated by the license terms and while the definitive agreement governing the relationship was being negotiated, HNS provided engineering development services to us pursuant to an Authorization to Proceed. In January 2008, we executed a definitive agreement with HNS pursuant to which HNS continued to provide us with engineering development and manufacturing services. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, HNS provided approximately $0.5 million, $23.4 million and $30.9 million of services, respectively, to us. As of December 30, 2010 and 2009, we had an outstanding balance, not including the senior unsecured promissory note discussed below, of $0 and approximately 0.2 million, respectively, payable to HNS.

In October 2007, HNS entered into an agreement with us and a customer of ours, whereby HNS agreed to assume our rights and performance obligations under that agreement in the event that it failed to perform its obligations due to a fundamental cause such as bankruptcy or the cessation of its telematics business. In

connection with that agreement, we entered into a letter agreement with HNS pursuant to which we agreed to take certain actions to enable HNS to assume its obligations in the event that such action is required. We believe that agreement terminated upon completion of the Merger.

In March 2009, prior to the Merger, HCI purchased 1,300,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock from us. The shares were issued to HCI in satisfaction of $13.0 million of trade receivables then currently owed by us to HNS. In connection with the Merger, HCI became a party to the Escrow Agreement and the Shareholders Agreement.

In December 2009, we issued to HNS a senior unsecured promissory note with a principal amount of approximately $8.3 million through the conversion of a trade accounts payable balance of approximately $6.0 million and the approximately $2.3 million outstanding balance on the equipment financing arrangement owed to HNS. The promissory note accrued interest at a rate of 12.00% per annum, compounded annually, and was to become due and payable on December 31, 2010. We were required to make scheduled principal payments of approximately $0.8 million on April 15, 2010 and $1.5 million on each of July 15, 2010 and October 15, 2010. In addition, subject to all restrictions in the First Lien Credit Agreement and Second Lien Credit Agreement and certain other limitations, to the extent we sold any capital equipment purchased by us (or purchased by HNS on our behalf) for use in connection with the Telematics Agreement between the parties, but no longer needed by us, we were required to make unscheduled prepayments of principal on the promissory note equal to the proceeds from the sale of such capital equipment (net of any selling costs).

HCI is controlled by investment funds affiliated with Apollo. In addition, three members of our board of directors, including Mr. Leddy, our chief executive officer, and Messrs. Africk and Stone, board members affiliated with Apollo, are members of the board of managers of HNS and the board of directors of HCI. In addition, Mr. Leddy owns less than 1% of the equity of HCI and approximately 16% of the non-voting Class B membership interests of HNS.

Trivergance Business Resources, LLC and Trivergance, LLC

In September 2008, we entered into a services agreement with TBR, an affiliate of Mr. Byron, a member of our board of directors, pursuant to which TBR provided a marketing assessment and other research to aid in creating a marketing and retention platform for us. We paid TBR a fee of approximately $0.2 million, reasonable

and customary travel expenses and certain other expenses incurred in connection with the engagement. Additionally, in November 2008, we entered into a letter agreement with TBR pursuant to which we engaged TBR to provide certain marketing services in exchange for an approximately $0.1 million monthly draw against a per subscriber fee payable on certain subscribers acquired beginning in November 2008 and continuing through December 2010. In January 2010, the parties entered into an amended agreement to remove the per-subscriber fee and continue under a fixed fee retainer of approximately $0.1 million per month. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, TBR provided approximately $1.5 million, $1.5 million and $0.1 million of services, respectively, to us.

Mr. Byron is also an affiliate of Trivergance. For consulting and financial advisory services provided in connection with the sale of the Series B Preferred Stock, we paid Trivergance approximately $1.3 million of cash and issued Trivergance a warrant to purchase 314,117 shares of Company common stock, comprised of 72,224 initial shares and 241,893 earn-out shares, at an equivalent exercise price of approximately $0.167 per share. Pursuant to the same engagement letter, in connection with the private placement completed in December 2009, we paid Trivergance approximately $0.1 million of cash.

Director Independence

Because our equity securities are traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, we are not subject to any director independence requirements that may apply if our common stock was listed a national securities exchange, such as the NYSE Amex. We are subject to the director independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act with respect to members of our Audit Committee. Prior to their appointment to our board of directors, each of Messrs. Lieberfarb, Hines and VanStekelenburg was determined by our board of directors to meet the independence requirements of both the NYSE Amex and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.

Audit Committee Approval

The charter of our audit committee requires the committee to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. Where feasible, the audit committee considers and, when appropriate, pre-approves services after disclosure by management and the independent registered public accounting firm of the nature of the proposed services, the estimated fees (when available), and their opinions that the services will not impair the firm’s independence. All fees paid to PwC following the Merger with Polaris were pre-approved by the audit committee in accordance with these policies.
