NASDAQ
Dow Jones Industrial Average
• Equity markets battled back from January losses to post a solid first quarter. The S&P
500 gained nearly 4.8% for the first quarter, while the Dow Jones and NASDAQ
posted returns of 4.1% and 5.6%, respectively. In general, the global economic
recovery appears to be following a typical cyclical pattern despite the lingering effects
of the financial crisis and the severity of the recession.
• With 100 deals and $45 billion in proceeds raised, the first quarter of 2010 was the
second best quarter for global IPO issuance since the end of 2007. The largest US
deal in the quarter was the $570 million offering of sensor and controls maker Sensata
Technologies (ST: $19.42), and the average deal size was $162 million driven by a
March surge in deals from smaller cap growth IPOs. March also saw an uptick in
venture capital-backed IPOs (5), driving the highest quarterly total (9) since 4Q07.
• Growth-oriented technology and healthcare companies currently represent a quarter of
prospective IPOs in the pipeline, and venture-backed companies accounted for 38% of
new IPO filings in the 1Q10.
Observations and Updates
• While 1Q10 saw more technology M&A deals announced than any other quarter since
the start of the credit crisis, the aggregate spending on those transactions was below
recent averages. In 1Q10, there were 841 acquisitions for a total of $31 billion with
many of the big buyers as active as ever. CA (CA: $23.06), Google (GOOG:
$595.30), IBM (IBM: $130.89) and Oracle (ORCL: $26.20) (among others) all
announced at least three transactions during the period.
• Venture capitalists invested $4.7 billion in 681 deals in the first quarter of 2010. While
the investment activity during the quarter was down slightly in terms of dollars and
deal volume compared to the 4Q09, the quarter was a more robust start to the year as
compared to the 1Q09. Despite the drop in overall investing from 4Q09, investments
in the Clean Technology sector soared, jumping 87% in terms of dollars from 4Q09.
• With the uptick in venture-backed activity and solid IPO performance, it is no surprise
to see continued momentum in new filings from growth sectors. Improving liquidity in
the venture channel suggests that IPO investors are looking beyond the deleveraging
phase of the global recovery and toward the next sources of economic growth.
Please see page 17 for insights from leading entrepreneurs and investors. Disclosures can be found on page 51 of this newsletter.

Note: These are the opinions solely of the companies and / or investors.
Executive and Investor Corner – Grandstream Networks
Grandstream Networks Commentary (David Li, Founder, Chairman and CEO):
1. What catalysts do you see that could accelerate your company’s growth?
"We see business growth coming primarily from 3 areas: voice-over-IP endpoints and customer premise
equipments in the SMB & enterprise market, video telephony equipments for residential & enterprise market, and
IP video surveillance cameras. The company will be focusing on these market opportunities that have high
growth potential in the foreseeable future.”
2. Given the recent improvements in the broader market, do you plan to implement any changes to your business to
capitalize on the improved sentiment, e.g. accelerate capital expenditures, hire additional sales staff, etc.?
“Yes, we are actively recruiting sales staff for our new video surveillance product line now and look to expand our
presence in Africa (will open a representative office in Q2) and Asia Pac. Additionally, we are adding more R&D
engineers in our China office. We think current low economic condition actually presents a great opportunity for
us to expand.”
3. Are there particular market verticals that you believe will contribute more significantly to your company’s growth? If so,
please elaborate?
“We see a lot of growth potential in the consumer video telephony equipments market and our video/multimedia
phone business is experiencing triple digit growth in a number of countries/regions. We are involved in a number
of important field trials with some tier-1 Telco operators and are pretty encouraged by the prospect of volume
potential with them. Additionally, we also see huge potential in market demand for personal video telephony
equipments in the exploding Skype community. We are working closely with Skype to target that market need.”
4. What is your outlook for your company and/or the economy for 2010/2011?
“In general, I think the economy in Asia will grow faster than that in US and Europe in 2010. I think the US and
European economy will recover at a slow-to-moderate pace this year but the road to full recovery will be bumpy. I
believe Grandstream will be able to grow much faster than average market and I think our pace of growth will
accelerate during the second half of this year when a number of our new products start to hit the market during
the next 3-6 months.”
Executive and Investor Corner – Parallels
Parallels Commentary (Peter Bauert, CFO and COO):
1. What catalysts do you see that could accelerate your company’s growth?
"The growth in small business alone will create opportunity for Service Providers to expand their existing
offerings, launch new services, and grow their business. We will in turn benefit by continuing to strengthen and
grow our partnerships with these providers.
“The continued success of Apple will help us grow our desktop business, as existing customers upgrade to new
versions of our products, and consumers and small businesses move from other operating systems to Mac.”
Page 18 of 52
April 2010
2. Given the recent improvements in the broader market, do you plan to implement any changes to your business to
capitalize on the improved sentiment, e.g. accelerate capital expenditures, hire additional sales staff, etc.?
“This year we have strategically changed our focus as a company to offer services vs. products. To that end, we
have invested in senior talent from engineering to marketing and sales and hired an entirely new management
team that comes from industry leaders like Microsoft, Symantec, Amazon, Dell, AmDocs, and others.”
3. Are there particular market verticals that you believe will contribute more significantly to your company’s growth? If so,
please elaborate?
“Two significant segments are growth opportunities. Telco providers are rapidly moving to offer Cloud services to
businesses and we have invested in a team and technology that will enable them to offer Cloud enabling services
to their markets. In addition, we are seeing growth in our partner ecosystem beyond traditional hosting
companies including ISV’s, VAR’s, and technology component companies.”
