EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Form 10-Q/A amends the Registrant’s quarterly Form 10-Q for the third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2001 as filed on November 14, 2001 and is being filed to reflect the restatement of the Registrant’s consolidated financial statements for that period.  The restatement relates to amounts under a single contract with a customer, which amounts we have subsequently determined should not have been recognized as revenue in the third quarter but should be recognized ratably over a four year period.  This Form 10-Q/A revises the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as follows: software license revenues have been decreased by $3,381,000 and services revenues have been decreased by $145,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001.  The dollar value, percentage of revenue and percentage changes over prior year revenue in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations have been changed to reflect the change in revenue.  In addition, this Form 10-Q/A revises the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2001 as follows: unearned revenue has increased by $3,526,000.  The unearned revenue in the related notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations have been changed to reflect these changes.

 

For purposes of this Form 10-Q/A, and in accordance with Rule 12B-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, each item of the 2001 third quarter Form 10-Q as filed on November 14, 2001 that was affected by the restatement has been amended and restated in its entirety.  No attempt has been made in this Form 10-Q/A to modify or update other disclosures as presented in the original Form 10-Q except as required to reflect the effects of the restatement.  In particular, and without limitation, in “Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” the Company has given certain information about the business environment applicable to the Company, the business outlook and certain forward-looking information.  This information has not been revised from the information provided in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 because it was not affected by the restatement.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(As Restated)

 

Note 1.   Restatement of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001

 

The restatement relates to amounts under a single contract with a customer, which amounts we have subsequently determined should not have been recognized as revenue in the third quarter but should be recognized ratably over a four year period.  As a result, the condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10Q filed on November 14, 2001 have been restated.  The restatement has resulted in an increase in net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 of $3,526,000 ($0.01 per share) and $3,526,000 ($0.02 per share), respectively.  Specifically, the restatement resulted in: reduction of $3,381,000 in software license revenues, reduction of $145,000 in services revenue and an increase of $3,526,000 in unearned revenues as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001.

Note 2.           Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Business

 

BroadVision, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “BroadVision” or “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on May 13, 1993. The Company develops and sells an integrated suite of packaged applications for conducting e-business interactions, transactions and services. Global enterprises and government entities use these applications to sell, buy and exchange goods, services and information over the Web and on wireless devices. The BroadVision e-business application suite enables an entity to establish and sustain high-yield relationships with customers, suppliers, partners, distributors, employees and other constituents in the extended enterprise. BroadVision services, supported by over 200 partner organizations worldwide, transform these applications into business value for BroadVision’s customers through consulting, education and support services.

 

The BroadVision e-business application suite allows businesses to tailor Web and wireless content to the needs and interests of individual users by personalizing content and transactions on a real-time basis.  The Company offers enterprise-class solutions to connect companies to their customers, suppliers, partners and employees. These solutions enable companies to maintain and expand existing relationships in an online environment via a single, integrated e-business platform.

 

BroadVision Global Services, or BVGS, provides a broad range of consulting, training and technical support services to all of the Company’s customers and implementation partners. This organization provides business application and technical expertise, along with extensive product knowledge, to complement the Company’s products and provide solutions that meet customers’ unique business requirements. By using these services, customers are able to build customized application solutions to maximize the benefits of one-to-one relationship management and self-service.

 

A significant element of the Company’s sales strategy is to engage in strategic business alliances to assist in marketing, selling and developing customer applications.

 

As of September 30, 2001, the Company had developed key strategic business alliances with over 200 systems integration, design, consulting and other services organizations throughout the world, including Accenture, Deloitte Consulting, Hewlett-Packard Consulting, IBM Global Services, KPMG Consulting, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Roundarch.  The Company’s platform alliances are partnerships formed to integrate technologies to drive business growth.  Additionally, the Company has developed key technology partnerships with leading Web- and wireless-focused companies in areas complementary to the Company’s solutions, such as data analysis and reporting, enterprise application integration, enterprise Web management, call center management, content management, voice recognition, payment processing, auctioning and XML. These technology partnerships enhance the Company’s ability to base products on industry standards and to take advantage of current and emerging technologies. These alliances include companies such as BEA Systems, Broadbase, Documentum, E.Piphany, Genesys, i2, Interwoven, Nuance, Tibco, WebMethods and Yantra.

 

The Company markets its products primarily through a direct sales organization with operations in North America, South America, Europe and Asia/Pacific. The Company also contracts with third-party resellers, distributors and systems integrators in North America, South America, Europe and Asia/Pacific. The Company intends to increase the use of this distribution channel.

 

There has been a general downturn in the economy since the beginning of 2001.  This downturn may continue in the future and has and could continue to have an impact on the Company’s future financial results.  Comparisons of financial performance made in this document are not necessarily indicative of future performance.  The Company announced a corporate-wide reorganization and reduction in force and incurred a charge in the third quarter of 2001 of approximately $9.8 million and approximately $123.5 million in the second quarter of 2001, related to these actions and a consolidation of the Company’s facilities.  Please see Note 8 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 


Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. They have been prepared in accordance with the established guidelines for interim financial information as provided by the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial results and related information as of September 30, 2001 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 are unaudited. The balance sheet at December 31, 2000 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not necessarily reflect all of the informational disclosures previously reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the Company’s opinion, the consolidated financial statements presented herein include all necessary adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, to fairly state the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods indicated. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain assumptions and estimates that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from estimates.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included with the Company’s Form 10-K and other documents that have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of the Company’s operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full fiscal year or any future interim periods.

 

ReclassificationsCertain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

Revenue Recognition—The Company’s revenues are derived from software licensing arrangements and fees charged for services. Software is generally licensed for development use and for its use in deployment of the customer’s website. Deployment licenses are generally based on the number of persons who register on a customer’s website using the Company’s software. The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended and SOP 98-9, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions. In general, software license revenues are recognized when a non-cancelable license agreement has been signed and the customer acknowledges an unconditional obligation to pay, the software product has been delivered, there are no uncertainties surrounding product acceptance, the fees are fixed and determinable and collection is considered probable; professional services revenues are recognized as such services are performed; and maintenance revenues, or post-contract customer support, or PCS, including revenues bundled with software agreements which entitle the customers to technical support and future unspecified enhancements to the Company’s products, are deferred and recognized ratably over the related contract period, generally twelve months. Revenues recognized from multiple-element software arrangements are allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the fair values of the elements, such as software products, PCS, installation or training. The determination of fair value is based on objective evidence which is specific to the Company. If evidence of fair value does not exist for all elements of a license agreement and PCS is the only undelivered element, then all revenue for the license arrangement is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement as license revenue. If evidence of fair value of all undelivered elements exists but evidence does not exist for one or more delivered elements, then revenue is recognized using the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue. Services that the Company provides are not essential to the functionality of the software.

 

In December 1999 the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” SAB No. 101 provides guidance for revenue recognition under certain circumstances. SAB No. 101 became effective in the quarter beginning October 1, 2000. The adoption of SAB No. 101 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

The Company records unearned revenue for software arrangements when cash has been received from the customer and the arrangement does not qualify for revenue recognition under the Company’s revenue recognition policy. The Company records accounts receivable for software arrangements when the arrangement qualifies for revenue recognition but cash or other consideration has not been received from the customer.

 

The Company’s professional services are delivered through BVGS, which consists of consulting, customer support and training.  These groups provide consulting services, manage projects and client relationships, manage the needs of the Company’s partner community, provide training-related services to employees, customers and partners, and also provide software maintenance services, including technical support, to the Company’s customers and partners.

 


Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share—Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 128, Earnings Per Share, requires the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by a weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Basic earnings per share are determined solely on common shares whereas diluted earnings per share include common equivalent shares, as determined under the treasury stock method.

 

The following table sets forth basic and diluted earnings per share computational data for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share amounts, unaudited):

Foreign Currency Transactions—The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar.  Resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and, to date, have not been significant.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets—The Company periodically assesses the impairment of long-lived assets, including identifiable intangibles, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of.”  The Company also periodically assesses the impairment of enterprise level goodwill in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 17, “Intangible Assets.”  An impairment review is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  Factors the Company considers important which could trigger an impairment include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the Company’s overall business, significant negative industry or economic trends, a significant decline in the Company’s stock price for a sustained period and the Company’s market capitalization relative to net book value.  When the Company determines that the carrying value of goodwill or other intangible assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, the Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate commensurate with the risk inherent in its current business model.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments—The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, long-term investments, equity investments, accounts payable and debt.  The Company does not have any derivative financial instruments.  The Company believes the reported carrying amounts of its financial instruments approximates fair value, based upon the short maturity of cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable and payable, and based on the current rates available to the Company on similar debt issues.  Additionally, the Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of all of its investments for permanent impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the book value of an asset may not be recoverable.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amounts by which the carrying amount exceeds its fair market value.  The Company’s equity investments are comprised of investments in public and non-public technology-related companies.  The Company may record future impairment charges due to continued economic decline and the potential resulting negative impact on these companies.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, the Company recorded $837,000 and $4.0 million in impairment charges on its cost method long-term investments.  There were no such charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000.

 


New Accounting Pronouncements— On June 29, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) approved for issuance SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Major provisions of these Statements are as follows: all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 must use the purchase method of accounting; the pooling of interest method of accounting is prohibited except for transactions initiated before July 1, 2001; intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recorded separately from goodwill if they arise from contractual or other legal rights or are separable from the acquired entity and can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or as part of a related contract, asset or liability; goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment at least annually using a fair value approach, except in certain circumstances, and whenever there is an impairment indicator; other intangible assets will continue to be valued and amortized over their estimated lives except assembled workforce which, pursuant to SFAS No. 141, will not be recognized as an intangible asset apart from goodwill; in-process research and development will continue to be written off immediately; all acquired goodwill must be assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing and segment  reporting;  effective  January 1, 2002, existing goodwill will no longer be subject to amortization.  Goodwill arising between July 1, 2001 and December 31, 2001 will not be subject to amortization.

 

Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, on January 1, 2002, the Company will no longer amortize goodwill and, thereby eliminating annual goodwill amortization of approximately $43.2 million, based on anticipated amortization for 2002.  Amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $191.8 million.  Additionally, upon adoption of SFAS No. 141 and 142, the Company will no longer amortize its non-technology based intangible asset, or assembled workforce, thereby eliminating annual amortization of approximately $2.2 million based on anticipated amortization for 2002.  Amortization for the non technology based intangible asset was $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.  During the third quarter of 2001, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $330.2 million related to goodwill and $6.2 million related to other intangible assets primarily as part of the Interleaf acquisition which closed on April 14, 2000.  Please see Note 9 for additional information.

Note 4.           Commercial Credit Facilities

 

The Company has various credit facilities with a commercial lender which include term debt in the form of notes payable and a revolving line of credit. As of September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, outstanding term debt borrowings were approximately $4.1 million and $4.9 million, respectively.  Borrowings bear interest at the bank’s prime rate (6.0% and 9.5% as of September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively). Principal and interest are due in consecutive monthly payments through maturity based on the term of the facility. Principal payments of $977,000 are due annually from 2000 through 2004, $611,000 due in 2005, and a final payment of $357,000 due in 2006. As of September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving line of credit. However, commitments totaling $2.4 million in the form of standby letters of credit were issued under its revolving line of credit facility as of September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000. Commitments totaling $22.7 million in the form of standby letters of credit were also issued from separate financial institutions as of September 30, 2001. The commercial credit facilities include covenants which impose certain restrictions on the payment of dividends and other distributions and required the Company to meet a financial covenant. Borrowings are collateralized by a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s owned assets.  In August 2001 the Company signed an amendment to the loan agreement which removes the financial covenant and requires the Company to maintain a $10.0 million deposit in the bank.  No other advances will be available under the revolving line of credit.

 

Note 5.           Commitments

 

The Company currently has $4.1 million of outstanding term debt under its existing credit facility with a commercial bank.  Capital expenditures were $50.3 million and $29.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.  The Company’s capital expenditures consisted of purchases of operating resources to manage its operations and included computer hardware and software, communications equipments, office furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements.  In February and April 2000, the Company entered into new facility lease agreements for approximately 519,000 square feet.  Lease payments will be made on an escalating basis with the total future minimum lease payments amounting to $316.4 million, payable through the third quarter of 2013.  Portions of these lease payments, along with expected sublease income, have been recorded as part of the Company’s restructuring change recorded during the second quarter of 2001.  The Company has no other significant capital commitments.  The Company has consolidated various facilities as part of its restructuring plan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001.  Please refer to Note 8 for additional information.

 

Note 6.           Geographic, Segment and Significant Customer Information

 

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, during 1998. SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the reporting by public business enterprises of information about operating segments, products and services, geographic areas and major customers.  The methodology for determining what information to report is based on the way that management organizes the operating segments within the Company for making operational decisions and assessments of financial performance.  The Company’s chief operating decision maker is considered to be the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, or CEO.  The CEO reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues by geographic region and by product for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.  The Company operates in one segment, electronic business commerce solutions.

 

The Company sells its products and provides services worldwide through a direct sales force and through a channel of independent distributors, value-added resellers (“VARs”) and application service providers (“ASPs”).  In addition, the sales of the Company’s products are promoted through independent professional consulting organizations known as systems integrators. The Company provides services worldwide directly through its BroadVision Global Services organization and indirectly through distributors, VARs, ASPs and system integrators. The Company currently operates in three primary geographical territories: NASA, which includes North and South America; EMEA, which includes Europe, the Middle East and Africa; and Asia/Pacific/Japan (APJ), which includes the Pacific Rim, the Far East and India.

Note 7.           Acquisitions

 

Interleaf

 

On April 14, 2000, the Company completed its acquisition of Interleaf, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Interleaf”) pursuant to a statutory merger involving a stock-for-stock exchange. Interleaf’s software products and related services enable automated electronic business, or e-business, and also enable the extension of e-business to wireless users. Interleaf provides customers with an integrated, easily implemented e-business solution based on extensible Markup Language, or XML, that enables the design, creation and management of XML-based content for transformation and delivery over the Web and related services. As a result of the acquisition, the Company will have the ability to combine technological resources to develop a robust Web-based business solution and reduce time to market for the combined Company’s products. Through the acquisition of all of the equity securities of Interleaf, BroadVision acquired all of the assets and assumed liabilities of Interleaf and its existing operations which included in-process technology. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of January 26, 2000, each outstanding share of Interleaf common stock was exchanged for 1.0395 shares of Company common stock and all options to purchase shares of Interleaf common stock outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the merger were converted into options to purchase shares of Company common stock.

 

The Company issued 14,391,991 shares of Company common stock with a fair market value of $686.9 million and exchanged options to purchase 2,338,342 shares of Company common stock with a fair market value of $102.7 million. The fair market value of the exchanged options to purchase 2,338,342 shares of Company common stock was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred transaction costs consisting primarily of financial advisor, legal and accounting professional fees of $14.8 million, severance costs of $1.0 million and office closure costs of $1.3 million, resulting in a total purchase price of $806.7 million. The results of operations of Interleaf have been included with the Company’s results of operations since the April 14, 2000 acquisition date.

 

The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business combination.  Under this accounting treatment, the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values on the date of acquisition.

 


The total purchase price paid for the Interleaf acquisition was allocated as follows (in thousands):

Based upon the Company’s estimates prepared in conjunction with a third-party valuation consultant, $10.1 million was allocated to acquired in-process technology and $28.9 million was allocated to intangible assets. The amounts allocated to intangible assets include completed technologies of $20.4 million and assembled workforces of $8.5 million.

 

At September 30, 2001, accumulated amortization related to the goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in the Interleaf acquisition totaled $386.3 million.  Goodwill amortization was $372.3 million and other intangible asset amortization was $14.0 million. The goodwill and other intangible assets are being amortized over a three-year period.

 

During the third quarter of 2001, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $330.2 million related to goodwill and $6.2 million related to other intangible assets recorded as part of the Company’s various acquisitions, primarily the Interleaf acquisition.  See Note 9 for additional information.

The charges for in-process technology have not been included in the unaudited pro forma results because they are nonrecurring. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for more information concerning the acquisition of Interleaf.

 

On April 30, 2001 and May 15, 2001, the Company entered into agreements with third parties to sell certain assets and liabilities of E-Publishing Corporation, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which the Company acquired as part of the acquisition of Interleaf in April 2000.  The Company recorded a loss on sale of assets of approximately $1.3 million which is included in other expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Keyeon

 

On June 29, 2001, the Company completed its acquisition of Keyeon, LLC, formerly a joint venture in which the Company previously held an interest of approximately 36%.  As consideration for the acquisition, the Company issued 2,713,280 shares of its common stock valued at $13.6 million to the other former participants in the joint venture which resulted in the Company owning 100% of the outstanding shares of Keyeon, LLC.  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.  The acquired assets and assumed liabilities, and the related results of operations, are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date of acquisition.  The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows (in thousands):

Note 8.           Restructuring Charges and Asset Impairments

 

During the third quarter and second quarter of 2001, the Company approved a restructuring plan to, among other things, reduce its workforce and consolidate facilities.  These restructuring and asset impairment charges were taken to align the Company’s cost structure with changing market conditions and to create a more efficient organization.  A pre-tax charge of $9.8 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2001 and a pre-tax charge of $123.5 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2001 to provide for these actions and other related items.  The Company recorded the low-end of a range of assumptions modeled for the restructuring charges, in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.”  The high-end of the range was estimated at approximately $11.1 million for the third quarter charge and $137.2 million for the second quarter charge.  Adjustments to the restructuring reserves will be made in future periods, if necessary, based upon the then current actual events and circumstances.

The nature of the charges summarized above is as follows:

 

Severance and benefits — During the third quarter and second quarter of 2001, the Company recorded charges of approximately $1.9 million and $5.1 million, respectively, related to severance benefits to terminated employees in the United States and various international locations.  Approximately $5.8 million was paid out as of September 30, 2001 and $557,000 relates to non-cash compensation.  The Company terminated approximately 539 employees in North and South America and approximately 147 employees throughout Europe and the Asia Pacific during the second and third quarters of 2001.

 

Facilities/Excess Assets — The Company recorded a charge of approximately $7.8 million and $118.4 million during the third quarter and second quarter of  2001, respectively, related to the consolidation of facilities and impairment of certain assets.  Included in these charges are approximately $26.4 million of asset impairments related to certain long-lived assets that were either abandoned during the quarter or for which the resulting estimated future reduced cash flows were insufficient to cover the carrying amounts.  $25.5 million of the $26.4 million relates to assets associated with facilities consolidation and approximately $852,000 relates to other operating and capital assets.  The remainder of the charges related to the consolidation of facilities and represents remaining lease commitments, net of expected sublease income.

 

Other — The Company recorded a charge of approximately $123,000 and $52,000 during the third quarter and second quarter of 2001, respectively, for various incremental costs incurred as a direct result of the restructuring.

 

Note 9.           Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

The Company periodically assesses the impairment of long-lived assets, including identifiable intangibles, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 121.  The Company also periodically assesses the impairment of enterprise level goodwill in accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion No. 17.    Based on quantitative and qualitative measures, the Company assesses the need to record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when impairment indicators are present.

 

As part of its review of its third quarter financial results, the Company performed an impairment assessment of identifiable intangible assets and goodwill recorded in connection with its various acquisitions.  The impairment assessment was performed primarily due to the significant decline in the Company’s stock price, the net book value of assets significantly exceeding the Company’s market capitalization and the overall decline in industry growth rates which have negatively impacted the Company’s revenues and forecasted revenue growth rate. Also, current economic indicators indicate that this trend may continue for an indefinite period.  As a result, the Company recorded a $336.4 million impairment charge in the third quarter of 2001 to reduce goodwill by $330.2 million and other intangible assets by $6.2 million associated with the Company’s acquisitions, primarily the Interleaf acquisition, to their estimated fair value.  To determine other than temporary impairment for identifiable intangibles, the sum of the undiscounted cash flows was compared to the current carrying value.  If the undiscounted cash flows were greater than or equal to the current carrying value the asset is deemed not to be impaired. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the current carrying value then the asset is deemed impaired. A discounted cash flow analysis is then prepared and the difference between the carrying value and the discounted cash flows represents the charge taken in accordance with SFAS No. 121. To determine the impairment loss for goodwill, the Company determined the fair value using a business enterprise methodology which includes a terminal value assigned to the entity. This value is then compared to the carrying value, and if less, the difference represents the impairment to be recorded. The assumptions supporting the estimated future cash flows, including the estimated terminal values, reflect management’s best estimates.  It is reasonably possible that the estimates and assumptions used under our assessment may change in the short term, resulting in the need to further write-down the goodwill and other long-lived assets.  In addition, it is reasonably possible that we may have additional reductions in goodwill if our market capitalization is less than our net assets in future periods.

 

Note 10.         Subsequent Events

 

On October 24, 2001 the Company announced initial plans of an additional reduction of the Company’s workforce to occur during the fourth quarter of 2001.


Note 11.         Legal Proceedings

 

On April 20, 2001, the Company filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission reporting that several purported class action lawsuits had been filed  against the Company and certain of its officers and directors.  In each of the lawsuits, the plaintiffs seek to assert claims on behalf of a class of all persons who purchased securities of the Company between January 26, 2001 and April 2, 2001.  The complaints allege that the Company and the individual defendants violated federal securities laws in connection with the Company’s reporting of financial results during such period.  The  lawsuits have been consolidated into a single action, as is customary in such cases.  On November 5, 2001, the Company and the individual defendants filed motions to dismiss the consolidated complaint.  The Company believes that the lawsuits are without merit and continues to  defend itself vigorously.

 

On June 7, 2001, Verity, Inc. filed suit against the Company alleging copyright infringement, breach of contract, unfair competition and other claims.  The Company has answered the complaint denying all allegations and is defending itself vigorously.

 

In the Company’s opinion, these legal matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s result of operations or financial position.

 

Item 2.            Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Except for the historical information contained herein, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results could differ significantly from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed herein and in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date such statements are made.

 

Restatement of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001

 

The restatement relates to amounts under a single contract with a customer, which amounts we have subsequently determined should not have been recognized as revenue in the third quarter but should be recognized ratably over a four year period.  As a result, the condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 14, 2001 have been restated.  The restatement has resulted in an increase in net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 of $3,526,000 ($0.01 per share) and $3,526,000 ($0.02 per share), respectively.  Specifically, the restatement resulted in: reduction of $3,381,000 in software license revenues, reduction of $145,000 in services revenue and an increase of $3,526,000 in unearned revenues as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001.

Recent Events

 

During the third quarter of 2001, based on a variety of factors and methodology as discussed in Note 9, the Company recorded an impairment charge related to goodwill and other intangible assets recorded primarily as a result of the Interleaf acquisition on April 14, 2000.  The Company recorded an impairment charge of $336.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2001.

 

During the third quarter of 2001, the Company approved a restructuring plan to, among other things, reduce its workforce and consolidate facilities.  These restructuring and asset impairment charges were taken to align the Company’s cost structure with changing market conditions and to create a more efficient organization.  A pre-tax charge of $9.8 million was recorded in the third quarter to provide for these actions and other related items.  Please see Note 8 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

 

There has been a general downturn in the economy, our industry and our business, since the beginning of 2001.  This downturn may continue in the future and has had and could continue to have an impact on our future financial results.  Comparisons of financial performance made in this document are not necessarily indicative of future performance.

 

Results of Operations

 

Revenues

 

Our revenues are derived from software licensing arrangements and fees charged for services. Software is generally licensed for development use and for its use in deployment of the customer’s website. Deployment licenses are generally based on the number of persons who register on a customer’s website using our software. Our revenue recognition policies are in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended and SOP 98-9, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions. In general, software license revenues are recognized when a non-cancelable license agreement has been signed and the customer acknowledges an unconditional obligation to pay, the software product has been delivered, there are no uncertainties surrounding product acceptance, the fees are fixed and determinable and collection is considered probable; professional services revenues are recognized as such services are performed; and maintenance revenues, or post-contract customer support, or PCS, including revenues bundled with software agreements which entitle the customers to technical support and future unspecified enhancements to our products, are deferred and recognized ratably over the related contract period, generally twelve months. Revenues recognized from multiple-element software arrangements are allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the fair values of the elements, such as software products, PCS, installation or training. The determination of fair value is based on objective evidence which is specific to us. If evidence of fair value does not exist for all elements of a license agreement and PCS is the only undelivered element, then all revenue for the license arrangement is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement as license revenue. If evidence of fair value of all undelivered elements exists but evidence does not exist for one or more delivered elements, then revenue is recognized using the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue. Services that we provide are not essential to the functionality of the software.

 

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” SAB No. 101 provides guidance for revenue recognition under certain circumstances. SAB No. 101 became effective in the quarter beginning October 1, 2000. The adoption of SAB No. 101 did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 


We record unearned revenue for software arrangements when cash has been received from the customer and the arrangement does not qualify for revenue recognition under our revenue recognition policy. We record accounts receivable for software arrangements when the arrangement qualifies for revenue recognition but cash or other consideration has not been received from the customer.

 

Our professional services are delivered through BVGS, which consists of consulting, customer support and training.  These groups provide consulting services, manage projects and client relationships, manage the needs of our partner community, provide training-related services to employee, customers and partners, and also provide software maintenance services, including technical support, to the Company’s customers and partners.

There has been a general economic decline since the beginning of 2001 that may continue.  Therefore, financial comparisons discussed herein may not be indicative of future performance.

 

Software  license revenues decreased 77% during the current quarter ended September 30, 2001 to $16.3 million as compared to $72.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000.   Software license revenues decreased 53% during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $80.5 million as compared to $169.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.  The decreases are attributable to an overall decline in the economy throughout the first three quarters of 2001 in comparison to the same period of 2000.  Continued economic uncertainty surrounding the economic and information technology spending environment significantly affected our license revenue during the first three quarters of 2001.  Software license revenues for our Enterprise applications decreased to $1.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 and $5.9 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to $7.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 and $21.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.  Software license revenues for our packaged solutions decreased to $14.5 million and $74.6 million for the quarter ended and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, as compared to $64.4 million and $148.2 million for the quarter ended and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively.   During the quarter ended September 30, 2001, we signed license agreements with 33 new customers as compared to 142 new customers for the quarter ended September 30, 2000.   During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, we signed license agreements with 115 new customers as compared to 413 new customers for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.  As of September 30, 2001, we had a total installed base of more than 1,280 accounts as compared to 1,169 accounts as of December 31, 2000 and 1,062 accounts as of September 30, 2000.

 


Total services revenues decreased 34% during the current quarter ended September 30, 2001 to $31.4 million as compared to $47.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000.  Total services revenues increased 8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $115.8 million as compared to $107.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

 

The decrease in professional services revenue during the third quarter of 2001 is a result of decreased business volume associated with decreased software license revenues over the past three quarters and an overall decline in the economy.  The increase in professional services revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 is a result of higher levels of consulting related services and higher customer support revenues derived from  increased license revenues in fiscal 2000. Maintenance related fees for technical support and product upgrades were $15.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 as compared to $12.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000.  Maintenance related fees for technical support and product upgrades were $46.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to $29.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.  The increase in maintenance revenues is due to an increased installed base consisting of maintenance revenues associated with current transactions as well as renewal maintenance for license transactions recorded in prior periods.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of license revenues include the costs of product media, duplication, packaging and other manufacturing costs as well as royalties payable to third parties for software that is either embedded in, or bundled and sold with, our products.

 

Cost of services consists primarily of employee-related costs, third-party consultant fees incurred on consulting projects, post-contract customer support and instructional training services.

Cost of software licenses increased 23% in absolute dollar terms during the current quarter ended September 30, 2001 to $1.7 million as compared to $1.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000.  Cost of software licenses increased 32% during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $6.6 million as compared to $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

 

In absolute dollar terms, the increase in cost of software licenses was principally a result of a higher level of sales with associated royalties due with third party products.

 

Cost of services decreased 57% during the current quarter ended September 30, 2001 to $14.6 million as compared to $34.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000. Cost of services increased 3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $82.0 million as compared to $80.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2000.  In absolute dollar terms, the decrease in cost of services for the three months ended September 30, 2001 was the result of reductions in force that occurred in the second and third quarter of 2001 resulting in decreased salary and salary related expenses and a decrease in the use of third party consultants.  The increase in cost of services in absolute dollar terms for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was a result of higher business volumes in early 2001 as evidenced by increased services revenues.  As a percentage of services revenue, the decrease in cost of services is a result of reductions in force during the second and third quarters of 2001 resulting in lower salary related costs.

 


Operating Expenses and Other Income, net

 

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, employee-related benefit costs and consulting fees incurred in association with the development of our products. Costs incurred for the research and development of new software products are expensed as incurred until such time that technological feasibility, in the form of a working model, is established at which time such costs are capitalized and recorded at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. The costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of a working model but prior to general release of the product have not been significant. To date, we have not capitalized any costs related to the development of software for external use.

 

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, employee-related benefit costs, commissions and other incentive compensation, travel and entertainment and marketing program-related expenditures such as collateral materials, trade shows, public relations, advertising and creative services.

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, employee-related benefit costs, accounts receivable reserves expense and professional service fees.

Research and development expenses increased 8% during the current quarter ended September 30, 2001 to $16.2 million as compared to $15.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000.  Research and development expenses increased 110% during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $63.8 million as compared to $30.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.  The increase in research and development expenses is primarily attributable to increased efforts involved in the enhancement of existing applications and the development of our next generation of products partially offset by compensation reductions and cost-cutting efforts put in place during the second and third quarter of 2001.

 

Sales and marketing expenses decreased 41% during the current quarter ended September 30, 2001 to $25.9 million as compared to $43.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000.  Sales and marketing expenses increased 17% during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $120.1 million as compared to $102.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2000.  Sales and marketing expenses decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2001 as a result of decreased salary expense as a result of the second and third quarter reductions in force in addition to decreased commission expense as a result of decreases in license revenue.  The increase in sales and marketing expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 reflect the cost of increased sales and marketing personnel from additional hires throughout the fourth quarter of 2000,  expenditures made to develop and expand sales distribution channels, and costs incurred for increased training activities all partially offset by decreases in salary related expenses as a result of the second and third quarter reductions in force and decreased commission expense as a result of decreased license revenues.

 


General and administrative expenses increased 32% during the current quarter ended September 30, 2001 to $10.8 million as compared to $8.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000.  General and administrative expenses increased 92% during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $35.7 million as compared to $18.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2000.  The increase in general and administrative expenses is attributable to higher professional fees primarily due to increased legal expenses and  increases in the general reserves of our accounts receivable balance.

 

We are attempting to reduce expenses in an effort to return to profitability during a period when revenues have been less than originally expected.  Therefore, operating costs may decline in the near future but there can be no assurance that such decline will be enough to return the Company to profitability.  Should revenues increase significantly, we would expect our expenses to increase commensurate with increases in revenues.

 

Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles. As described in Note 7 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements above, we acquired Interleaf in the quarter ended June 30, 2000. We have accounted for the acquisition as a purchase business combination. As a result of this transaction, we had recorded goodwill and other intangible assets on the balance sheet of $794.7 million. Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles assets related to the Interleaf acquisition was $66.2 million and $198.7 million for the quarter ended and the nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively.  As reported in Note 7, we acquired Keyeon LLC on June 29, 2001.  We have accounted for this acquisition as a purchase business combination.  As a result of this transaction, we recorded goodwill and other intangible assets on the balance sheet of $2.2 million.  Amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets related to the Keyeon acquisition was $184,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001.  As reported in Note 9, we recorded an impairment charge on goodwill and other intangible assets during the third quarter ended September 30, 2001 of $336.4 million.

 

Restructuring.  During the third and second quarters of 2001, we approved a restructuring plan to, among other things, reduce our workforce and consolidate facilities.  These restructuring and asset impairment charges were taken to align our cost structure with changing market conditions and to create a more efficient organization.  Pre-tax charges of $9.8 million and $123.5 million were recorded in the third quarter and second quarter of 2001, respectively, to provide for these actions and other related items.

 

In connection with the restructuring plan recorded in the third quarter, we expect to save approximately $15 million in salary expense over the next twelve months.  We expect facility related cash outlays associated with the third quarter restructuring charge to be approximately $4.6 million over the next twelve months.  Additionally, we expect sublease income associated with these facilities or approximately $1.2 million over the next twelve months.   Please see Note 8 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

 

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. During the third quarter of 2001, we determined that the goodwill and other intangible assets related to our various acquisitions may have become impaired.  In accordance with SFAS No. 121 and APB No. 17, we performed an impairment analysis.  These standards require that goodwill and other intangible assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  Because we had integrated the acquired companies’ operations, we were required to test for impairment at an overall enterprise level.  Our policy is to use a discounted cash flow approach.  This approach includes analyzing estimated future cash flows over the remaining life of the goodwill and other intangible assets as well as a disposition value at the end of the life of the goodwill and other intangible assets.  The resulting value was then compared to the carrying value of stockholders’ equity and the difference represents goodwill and other intangible assets impairment measured on a discounted basis.  Accordingly, we recorded an impairment charge of $336.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2001.  Please see Note 9 for additional information.

 

Other Income, net

 

Other income, net consists of interest income, interest expense net of other non-operating expenses.  Other income, net decreased to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to $4.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2000.  The main reason for the decrease is a decrease in interest income of approximately $2.1 million to $2.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 as compared to $4.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 as a result of a decrease in available cash and investments.  Other income, net decreased to $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to $15.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.  Interest income decreased approximately $3.5 million to $9.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to $12.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as a result of a decrease in overall cash and investments.  Losses on asset disposals increased approximately $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.  This increase is due to a loss of approximately $1.1 million on the sale of various computers and related equipment and furniture of E-Publishing Corporation, formerly our wholly-owned subsidiary recorded during the second quarter of 2000.  Gains on sales of investments decreased $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to the same period during 2000.  We experienced an increase in net losses from an unconsolidated subsidiary of $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and an increase in realized losses on cost method investments of $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.


Income Taxes

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2001, we recognized tax expense of $406,000.   We recognized income tax expense of $1.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2001.  The tax expense during both periods mainly relates to foreign withholding taxes and state income taxes.

 

Litigation Settlement

 

On February 22, 2000, we reached a settlement agreement and entered into a license agreement with Art Technology Group (“ATG”) in connection with the lawsuit filed by us on December 11, 1998 against ATG alleging infringement of our U.S. Patent No. 5,710,887. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, we granted ATG a nonexclusive, nontransferable, worldwide, perpetual license and we were paid $8.0 million by ATG at the effective date of the settlement and began to receive in quarterly installment payments commencing on February 24, 2000 (four consecutive quarterly payments of $750,000 during 2000 and eight consecutive quarterly payments of $500,000 during 2001 and 2002) which will total $7.0 million.

At September 30, 2001, we had $222.2 million of cash, cash equivalents and liquid short-term and long-term investments, which represents a decrease of $79.1 million as compared to December 31, 2000. We currently have $4.1 million of outstanding term debt under our existing credit facility with a commercial bank.

 

Cash used for operating activities was $50.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and cash provided by operating activities was $45.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Net cash used for operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was primarily attributed to a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses, the net loss for the nine months (less non-cash expenses), all partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses.  Cash provided by investing activities was $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and cash used for investing activities was $195.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.  Cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was primarily due to cash acquired in a purchase transaction of approximately $7.2 million, net sales/maturities of investments of approximately $49.2 million, partially offset by approximately $50.3 million in purchases of property and equipment.  Cash provided by financing activities was $14.6 million and $26.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and consists primarily of proceeds from the issuance of common stock.

 

Capital expenditures were $50.3 million and $29.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.  Our capital expenditures consisted of purchases of operating resources to manage our operations and included computer hardware and software, office furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements.  In February and April 2000, we entered into new facility lease agreements for approximately 519,000 square feet.  Lease payments will be made on an escalating basis with the total future minimum lease payments amounting to $316.4 million, payable through the third quarter of 2013. Portions of these lease payments, along with expected sublease income, have been recorded as part of our restructuring charge recorded during the second quarter of 2001.

 


In connection with the third quarter restructuring plan described in Note 8 of the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we expect to pay out approximately $618,000 of severance related costs and approximately $65,000 of other restructuring costs over the next twelve months.  We expect facility related cash outlays associated with the third quarter restructuring charge to be approximately $4.6 million over the next twelve months and an additional $7.6 million from October 1, 2002 through September 30, 2006.  Additionally, we expect sublease income associated with these facilities of approximately $1.2 million over the next twelve months and $5.0 million from October 1, 2002 through September 30, 2006. We expect cash outlays, net of expected sublease income, totaling approximately $77.0 million relating to our restructuring charge recorded in the second quarter of 2001, payable through the fourth quarter of 2008. The total cash outlay is expected to be funded from existing cash balances and internally generated cash flows from operations.

 

We believe that our available cash and short-term investment resources and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our expected working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. This estimate is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results may vary as a result of a number of factors, including those discussed under “Factors Affecting Quarterly Operating Results” below and elsewhere herein. We may need to raise additional funds in order to support more rapid expansion, develop new or enhanced services, respond to competitive pressures, acquire complementary businesses or technologies or respond to unanticipated requirements. We may seek to raise additional funds through private or public sales of securities, strategic relationships, bank debt, financing under leasing arrangements or otherwise. No other advances will be available under our revolving line of credit. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of the stockholders of the Company will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution or such equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to develop our products, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

 

Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results

 

We may experience significant fluctuations in quarterly operating results that may be caused by many factors including, but not limited to, those discussed below and herein, as set out in Items 7 and 7A in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000  and elsewhere therein and as disclosed in other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Significant fluctuations in future quarterly operating results may be caused by many factors including, among others, the timing of introductions or enhancements of products and services by us or our competitors, market acceptance of new products, the mix of our products sold, changes in pricing policies by us or our competitors, our ability to retain customers, changes in our sales incentive plans, budgeting cycles of our customers, customer order deferrals in anticipation of new products or enhancements by us or our competitors, nonrenewal of service agreements (which generally automatically renew for one year terms unless earlier terminated by either party upon 90-days notice), product life cycles, changes in strategy, seasonal trends, the mix of distribution channels through which our products are sold, the mix of international and domestic sales, the rate at which new sales people become productive, changes in the level of operating expenses to support projected growth and general economic conditions. We anticipate that a significant portion of our revenues will be derived from a limited number of orders, and the timing of receipt and fulfillment of any such orders is expected to cause material fluctuations in our operating results, particularly on a quarterly basis. Due to the foregoing factors, quarterly revenues and operating results are difficult to forecast, and we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results will not necessarily be meaningful and should not be relied upon as any indication of future performance.  It is likely that our future quarterly operating results from time to time will not meet the expectations of market analysts or investors, which may have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock.

 

Our success depends largely on the skills, experience and performance of key personnel.  If we lose one or more key personnel, our business could be harmed.  Our future success depends on our ability to continue attracting and retaining highly skilled personnel.  We may not be successful in attracting, assimilating and retaining qualified personnel in the future.

 

Some of these risks and uncertainties relate to the new and rapidly evolving nature of the markets in which we operate. These related market risks include, among other things, the early stage of the developing online commerce market, the dependence of online commerce on the development of the Internet and its related infrastructure, the uncertainty pertaining to widespread adoption of online commerce and the risk of government regulation of the Internet. Other risks and uncertainties relate to our ability to, among other things, successfully implement our marketing strategies, respond to competitive developments, continue to develop and upgrade our products and technologies more rapidly than our competitors, and commercialize our products and services by incorporating these enhanced technologies. There can be no assurance that we will succeed in addressing any or all of these risks.

 


There has been a general downturn in the economy.  We had revised our projected estimate of revenue range for fiscal 2001.  If the economic environment continues to decline, our future results may be significantly impacted.  We believe that the current economic decline has increased the average length of our sales cycle and our operating results could suffer and our stock price could decline if we do not achieve the level of revenues we expect.

 

Like other U.S. companies, our business and operating results are subject to uncertainties arising out of the recent terrorist attacks on the United States, including potential worsening or extension of the current global slowdown, the economic consequences of military actions or additional terrorist activities and associated political instability, and the impact of heightened security concerns on domestic and international travel and commerce.  Such uncertainties could also lead to delays or cancellations of customer orders, a general decrease in corporate spending or our inability to effectively market and sell our products.  Any of these results could substantially harm our business and results of operations, causing a decrease in our revenues.
