BORLAND SOFTWARE CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

           The accompanying Borland Software Corporation, or Borland, condensed consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all financial information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly Borland’s financial position at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. Certain amounts in the June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2002 information have been reclassified in order to be consistent with current financial statement presentation. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the full year. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 28, 2003.

 

NOTE 2—STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

 

           We account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board, or APB, Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” or APB 25, and related interpretations. Under APB 25, compensation expense is measured as the excess, if any, of the closing market price of our stock at the date of grant over the exercise price of the option granted. We recognize compensation cost for stock options, if any, ratably over the vesting period. Generally, we grant options with an exercise price equal to the closing market price of our stock on the grant date. We provide additional pro forma disclosures as required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” or SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123,” or SFAS 148.

 

Pro Forma Net Loss and Net Loss Per Share

 

           Compensation expense (included in pro forma net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share amounts) is recognized for the fair value of the awards granted under our stock option and stock purchase plans using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model, as well as other currently accepted option valuation models, was developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from our stock option and stock purchase plan awards. These models also require highly subjective assumptions including future stock price volatility and expected time until exercise, which greatly affect the calculated fair value on the grant date. The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

Three Months Ended June 30,
Six Months Ended June 30,
2003
2002
2003
2002
Expected life (in years)       4.50     3.62     4.50     3.62  
Expected volatility    62 %  68 %  62 %  68 %
Risk-free interest rate    2.57 %  3.10 %  2.57 %  3.10 %
Expected dividend rate    0.00 %  0.00 %  0.00 %  0.00 %


5



Table of Contents

 

           The weighted average fair value of the stock options granted under our employee stock option plans and the stock awarded under our employee stock purchase plan, as defined by SFAS 123, was $5.94 and $6.61 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively and $7.69 and $7.70 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

           Had we recorded compensation expenses based on the estimated fair value at grant date for awards granted under our stock option and stock purchase plans (as defined by SFAS 123), our pro forma net loss and net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 would have been as follows (amounts in thousands, except per share data):

   As reported – diluted   $ (0.06 ) $ 0.06   $ (0.28 ) $ 0.12  
   Pro Forma – basic   $ (0.14 ) $ (0.02 ) $ (0.44 ) $ (0.05 )
   Pro Forma – diluted   $ (0.14 ) $ (0.02 ) $ (0.44 ) $ (0.05 )

           The pro forma amounts include compensation expenses related to stock option grants and stock purchase rights for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. In future periods, the pro forma compensation expense may increase as a result of the fair value of stock options and stock purchase rights granted in those future periods.

 

           We account for stock options issued to non-employees, excluding non-employee directors, under SFAS 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments with Variable Terms that are Issued for Consideration Other Than Employee Services under SFAS 123,” or EITF 96-18. We record the expense of such services based upon the estimated fair value of the equity instrument using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

 

NOTE 3—NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

           We compute net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” or SFAS 128. Under the provisions of SFAS 128, basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common and potentially diluted shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive shares, which consist of incremental shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants, are included in diluted net income per share to the extent such shares are dilutive.

 

           The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

 

Three Months Ended June 30,

Table of Contents

 

           The diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 excludes options to purchase approximately 14.7 million and 5.3 million shares, respectively, because their effect would have been antidilutive.

 

NOTE 4—ACQUISITIONS

 

TogetherSoft Corporation

 

           On January 14, 2003, we completed the acquisition of TogetherSoft Corporation, or TogetherSoft, which was a privately-held corporation. The consideration consisted of approximately $82.5 million in cash, 9,050,000 shares of Borland common stock and the assumption of certain liabilities and obligations of TogetherSoft, including those arising under its stock option plans. The consideration paid was reduced for certain legal expenses paid by TogetherSoft. Approximately $26.0 million of the total consideration is being held in escrow to indemnify us against, and reimburse us for, certain events and cover certain liabilities and transaction costs. Unused funds will be released from escrow at specified times between 2004 and 2007. We recorded $151.3 million in goodwill for the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired and $37.2 million for acquired technology. TogetherSoft was a provider of platform-neutral, design-driven development solutions designed to accelerate the software development process.

 

           During the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, we recorded approximately $4.1 million and $7.7 million in acquisition-related costs associated with the amortization of the purchased intangibles from the acquisition of TogetherSoft. During the three months ended June 30, 2003, we paid approximately $0.2 million in acquisition-related expenses, which were recorded as an adjustment to goodwill.

 

           The following table summarizes the short-term portion of our restructuring activity related to the TogetherSoft acquisition accounted for according to EITF Issue No. 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination,” or EITF 95-3, for the six months ended June 30, 2003 (in thousands):

Accrual at June 30, 2003   $ 716   $ 588   $ 275   $ 1,579  





           Our 2003 restructuring accrual included $3.2 million resulting from headcount reductions of 76 employees, including 71 in sales, general and administrative and five in research and development and $3.1 million resulting from reduction of certain facilities leases. In addition, we recorded a charge of $0.5 million for lease termination costs and other costs related to facilities in France and Germany. Due to the timing of payments under lease agreements, we have recorded these costs as part of long-term restructuring.

 

Starbase Corporation

 

           On October 8, 2002, we signed a merger agreement to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Starbase Corporation, or Starbase, for an aggregate consideration of approximately $24.0 million in cash and $2.0 million in bridge financing that was forgiven upon the consummation of the transaction. We recorded $31.7 million in goodwill for the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired and $12.0 million for acquired technology. Starbase is a provider of end-to-end enterprise software lifecycle solutions covering requirements definition and management, code and content development, and change and configuration management.

 

           Pursuant to the merger agreement, on October 11, 2002, we commenced an all-cash tender offer to acquire all outstanding shares of Starbase at a price of $2.75 per share. In the initial tender offer, which expired on November 22, 2002, we purchased approximately 78.9% of the outstanding shares of Starbase. Upon the completion of the initial tender, we began consolidating the operating results of Starbase. The initial tender offer was followed by the merger on January 7, 2003 of Starbase with Galaxy Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Borland formed for the purposed of making the acquisition. In the merger, holders of the remaining outstanding shares of Starbase common stock at the time of the merger received the same $2.75 cash price per share paid in the tender offer. As a result of the merger, Starbase is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Borland. Accordingly, with the payment to the remaining stockholders, we eliminated the minority interest in the consolidated subsidiary during the three months ended March 31, 2003.

           During the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, we recorded approximately $1.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively, in acquisition-related costs associated with the amortization of the purchased intangibles from the acquisition of Starbase.

 

           The following table summarizes our restructuring activity related to the Starbase acquisition accounted for according to EITF 95-3 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 (in thousands, unaudited):

VMGear

 

           On January 18, 2002, we completed our acquisition of Redline Software, Inc., or VMGear, which was a provider of performance assurance and testing solutions for Java developers. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. Total fixed consideration of $2.0 million was paid upon the close of the transaction and acquisition-related costs were $0.2 million. The contingent consideration includes retention payments of $6.0 million to be earned through the continued employment of certain individuals and additional earnout payments of up to $10.0 million contingent upon future revenues derived from the sale of VMGear products and the retention of certain employees of VMGear. Contingent consideration, if any, will be earned and paid over a three-year period. We recorded this earnout as a component of restructuring, amortization of intangibles and acquisition-related expenses based upon our estimate of the total earnout on a straight-line basis. The results of operations for this acquisition were not material to our financial statements either on an individual or aggregate basis and accordingly pro forma results have not been presented.

 

           In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” or SFAS 142, we did not amortize the excess of the purchase price over net assets acquired. The contingent consideration will be expensed when it is deemed probable that such payments will be made. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, we expensed $2.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively, in contingent consideration related to the VMGear acquisition.

 

NOTE 5—GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

           The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2003 are as follows (in thousands):

 

Total
Balance as of December 31, 2002     $ 32,880  
Acquisitions    152,958  
Balance as of June 30, 2003   $ 185,838  

           We performed a transitional impairment test of our goodwill and intangible assets as of January 1, 2002. At the time of the test, no impairment of our goodwill or intangible assets was noted. We performed our annual

assessment of goodwill in December 2002, and concluded that there was no additional impairment. Due to the adoption of SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002, we ceased amortizing goodwill.

           The intangible assets are all amortizable and have original estimated useful lives as follows: acquired technology – 2 to 3 years; maintenance contracts – 1 year; trademarks—3 years; other—1 to 3 years. Based on the current amount of intangibles subject to amortization, the estimated amortization expense for the remainder of 2003 and the succeeding four years is as follows: remainder of 2003: $11.7 million; 2004: $14.2 million; 2005: $12.1 million; 2006: $0.1 million; and 2007: $0 million.

 

NOTE 6—RESTRUCTURING

 

           Prior to January 1, 2003, we accounted for our restructuring and acquisition-related activity according to EITF Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring),” or EITF 94-3. The following table summarizes our short-term restructuring and acquisition-related activity accounted for according to EITF 94-3 and SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” or SFAS 146, for the six months ended June 30, 2003 (amounts in thousands):

Accrual at June 30, 2003   $ 487   $ 1,035   $ 117   $ 1,639  





           Our 2003 restructuring accrual included $1.0 million resulting from headcount reductions of 28 employees, including 19 in sales and general and administrative and 9 in research and development, and $2.0 million resulting from reduction of certain facilities leases. This amount represents our estimate of the costs to exit the facilities and is recorded in current liabilities.

 

           In addition, we recorded a charge of $2.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2003 for a change in estimate for lease termination costs related to a facility in the United Kingdom. Due to the timing of payments under the lease agreement, we have recorded these costs as a part of long-term restructuring. The total long-term lease termination obligation as of June 30, 2003 was $4.1 million.

NOTE 7—INCOME TAXES

 

           During the three months ended June 30, 2003, we contemplated an election to achieve a step-up in basis of Starbase’s assets for income tax purposes. Our analysis led us to conclude that the additional benefits from the basis step-up did not justify the additional tax liabilities we would incur in order to make the election. Therefore, in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” or SFAS 109, deferred tax liabilities of approximately $4.7 million have been recorded for the tax effect of the intangible assets which are not amortizable for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets of $4.7 million have also been recorded as we are releasing a portion of our previously established valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. We are releasing a portion of the valuation allowance to the extent the realization of our deferred tax assets becomes assured as a result of the additional taxable income generated by the non-deductible amortizable intangible assets.

 

NOTE 8—REPURCHASES OF COMMON STOCK

 

           During September 2001, our Board of Directors authorized repurchases of up to $30.0 million of our outstanding common stock. As a part of this program, we repurchased 395,000 shares of our common stock for an average price of $9.91 per share for a total consideration of $3.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2003. We repurchased 695,000 shares of our common stock for an average price of $9.78 per share for a total consideration of $6.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2003. We repurchased 359,700 shares of our common stock for an average price of $9.53 per share for a total consideration of $3.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2002, all of which were purchased during the three months ended June 30, 2002. This authorization is still deemed to be in effect and $12.7 million remains authorized for future repurchases. During August 2003, our Board of Directors authorized an additional repurchase of up to $15.0 million in Borland common stock. We expect to continue to repurchase shares under our repurchase program from time to time depending on market conditions, share price and availability and other factors at our discretion.

 

NOTE 9—LITIGATION

 

           On November 27, 2002, a stockholder class action and derivative lawsuit, Dieterich v. Harrer, et al., Case No. 02CC00350, was filed against Starbase Corporation and five former directors of Starbase in the Superior Court of the State of California for Orange County. The complaint alleged that the former directors had breached fiduciary duties owed to Starbase and stockholders of Starbase. Borland is paying the costs of defending this litigation pursuant to indemnification obligations under the merger agreement relating to the acquisition of Starbase by Borland. On January 23, 2003, defendants filed a demurrer seeking to have all the claims dismissed, and also filed a motion to stay discovery pending a ruling on the demurrer. On February 25, 2003, plaintiff filed its first amended class action complaint, or the amended complaint, naming as defendants the five former directors and the investment banking firm that provided financial services to Starbase, two law firms that provided legal services to Starbase and an individual and entity that helped arrange financing for Starbase. The amended complaint purported to be brought on behalf of Starbase stockholders who tendered shares of Starbase common stock in the tender offer commenced by Borland on October 11, 2002 and that ended on November 11, 2002, or in the merger that was completed on January 7, 2003. Plaintiff alleged that the five former directors breached their fiduciary duties owed to Starbase in connection with a proposed financing of Starbase in mid-2002, and that the other defendants aided and abetted the purported breach of fiduciary duty. The director defendants filed a demurrer seeking dismissal of the amended complaint. On June 6, 2003, the court sustained the demurrer of all defendants and dismissed the lawsuit against all defendants but granted the plaintiff leave to amend the complaint against the director defendants. On July 3, 2003, the plaintiff filed a second amended complaint. On July 8, 2003, plaintiff filed a request for voluntary dismissal of the action without prejudice. Defendants opposed that request on the ground that plaintiff wanted to refile the action in another jurisdiction while still being able to pursue the litigation in the Superior Court of the State of California of Orange County or appeal the court’s decision to the California Court of Appeal. On July 31, 2003, the court held that plaintiff’s request for dismissal was deficient, but permitted plaintiff to file another request. The court also stayed the litigation until October 29, 2003. The court has granted the motion of the director defendants to stay discovery. There is no indication at present that the lawsuit will have a material effect on Borland’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

 

           From time to time, we may be involved in other lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, consisting of intellectual property, commercial, employment and other matters, which arise in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” or SFAS 5, we make a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts

of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. However, we believe that we have valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending against us, as well as adequate provisions for any probable and estimable losses. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur in any specific period, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations for that period. We believe that, given our current liquidity and cash and investment balances, even were we to receive an adverse judgment with respect to litigation that we are currently a party to, it is likely that such a judgment would not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

 

NOTE 10—LOAN RECEIVABLE WRITE-OFF

 

           At December 31, 2002, we had a loan receivable with a book value of $2.2 million related to a loan to AltoWeb, Inc., or AltoWeb, a provider of J2EE applications. In April 2003, AltoWeb informed us that it had ceased substantially all of its operations. We recorded the write-off of this loan receivable of $2.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2003. Since our investment in AltoWeb was related to AltoWeb’s attempt to extend their product development efforts for the Borland platform, we have included these expenses in research and development. This charge is reflected in the six-month period ended June 30, 2003.

 

NOTE 11—INDEMNIFICATIONS AND GUARANTEES

 

           As permitted under our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Amended and Restated Bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law, we have entered into agreements whereby we indemnify our officers, directors and certain employees for certain events or occurrences while the officer, director or employee is, or was, serving at our request in such capacity.

 

           We have entered into an agreement for the outsourcing of our order fulfillment. As a component of this agreement, we guarantee that in the event we terminate the fulfillment agreement, we will purchase all inventory held by the vendor at the time of termination. We estimate and accrue reserves for excess inventory held by the fulfillment vendor. As of June 30, 2003, we had inventory in excess of the reserves of approximately $0.3 million, which represents the potential obligation relating to this guarantee.

 

           From time to time, we engage various professional service firms which require as a condition to their engagement that we undertake to indemnify them for all claims and damages arising out of their engagement. In the recent past, we have not been subject to any significant claims for such losses and have not incurred any material costs in defending or settling claims related to these indemnification obligations. Accordingly, we believe the estimated fair value of these obligations is not material.

 

           We undertake indemnification obligations in our ordinary course of business in connection with, among other things, the licensing of our products and the provision by us of consulting services. Pursuant to these agreements, we may indemnify the other party for certain losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally our business partners or customers, in connection with various types of claims, which may include, without limitation, claims of intellectual property infringement, certain tax liabilities, negligence and intentional acts in the performance of services and violations of laws. The term of these indemnification obligations is generally perpetual. In general, we attempt to limit the maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification obligations to the purchase price paid, but in some cases the obligation may not be so limited. In addition, we may, in certain situations, warrant that, for a certain period of time from the date of delivery, our software products will be free from defects in media or workmanship. From time to time, we may also warrant that our professional services will be performed in a good and workmanlike manner. In addition, it is our standard policy to seek to disclaim most warranties, including any implied or statutory warranties such as warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quality and non-infringement, as well as any liability with respect to incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive or similar damages. In some states, such disclaimers may not be enforceable. If necessary, we would provide for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims and claim history. In the recent past, we have not been subject to any significant claims for such losses and have not incurred any material costs in defending or settling claims related to these indemnification obligations. Accordingly, we believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is not material.

 

           During the six months ended June 30, 2003, we entered into an operating lease for our U.S. regional sales headquarters office in Cupertino, California. In the event that we do not exercise our option to extend the term of the

lease, we guarantee certain costs to restore the property to certain conditions in place at the time of lease. We are accruing the estimated lease restoration costs over the lease term.

 

NOTE 12—RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

           In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity,” or SFAS 150. SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires an issuer to classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. It is to be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of SFAS 150 and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption. Restatement is not permitted. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 150 to have a material impact upon our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

 

           In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” or SFAS 149, which amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” or SFAS 133, for certain decisions made by the FASB Derivatives Implementation Group. In particular, SFAS 149 (1) clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative, (2) clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component, (3) amends the definition of “an underlying” to conform it to language used in term because it is within the scope of FASB Interpretation, or FIN, No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,” or FIN 45, and (4) amends certain other existing pronouncements. SFAS 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. In addition, most provisions of SFAS 149 are to be applied prospectively. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 149 to have a material impact upon our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

 

           In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” or FIN 46. Until this interpretation, a company generally included another entity in its consolidated financial statements only if it controlled the entity through voting interests. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns. We have adopted the requirements of FIN 46.

 

           In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 148. SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS 148 is effective for financial statements for years ending after December 31, 2002. We have adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS 148.

 

           In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” or EITF 00-21. EITF 00-21 provides guidance on how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The provisions of EITF 00-21 apply to revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. We do not believe the adoption of EITF 00-21 will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

           In November 2002, the FASB issued FIN 45. FIN 45 elaborates on the existing disclosure requirements for most guarantees, including loan guarantees. It also clarifies that at the time a company issues a guarantee, the company must recognize an initial liability for the fair value, or market value, of the obligations it assumes under that guarantee. However, the provisions related to recognizing a liability at inception of the guarantee for the fair value of the guarantor’s obligations does not apply to product warranties or to guarantees accounted for as derivatives. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions apply on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002.

 

           In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146. SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies EITF 94-3. SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF 94-3, a liability

 


12



Table of Contents

 

for an exit cost as defined in EITF 94-3 was recognized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. SFAS 146 eliminates the definition and requirements for recognition of exit costs in EITF 94-3. SFAS 146 also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability. SFAS 146 is applicable for all exit activity initiated after December 31, 2002. Our adoption of SFAS 146 did not have a material impact on our results of operation, financial condition or cash flows.

Overview of the Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2003

 

           We believe our financial performance for the first six months of 2003 was solid, despite the challenging economic conditions for the software industry, due in part to the acquisitions of TogetherSoft and Starbase. Revenues from these acquisitions accounted for $20.2 million and $37.2 million of our total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively.

 

           When customers curtail their information technology, or IT, budgets, elect to purchase less software or delay such purchases indefinitely, our business—like that of competitors and software industry peers—suffers. However, we believe that we are well-positioned to improve our financial performance upon the eventual return to growth in IT spending worldwide because our solutions offer our customers a clear return on investment, or ROI. With many customers having invested significantly in computing hardware and network infrastructure in recent years, software development and deployments such as ours are valuable because they can be used to facilitate the efficient production and/or migration of software for systems currently in place.

 

           During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003, we continued to focus on improving our operating model and on positioning Borland for success when corporate IT and software spending returns to healthier levels. Specifically, we focused on:

 

Leadership Across Platforms. We believe that our success hinges, in part, on our ability to deliver best-in-class solutions across a wide range of technology platforms, including Java and .NET. As part of this commitment, we released the following new products during the three months ended June 30, 2003:


o

Janeva, a new solution that is designed to enable cross-platform mobility by offering companies a secure and scalable means of linking J2EE and .NET;

o

C#Builder, a completely new Borland product that offers a comprehensive, design-driven solution for the development of .NET applications; and


o

JBuilder 9, the most recent version of our leading Java development environment which offers users greater integration with our other application lifecycle components.


Solution Selling. Our move to selling entire application lifecycle solutions to our customers is designed to result in larger contracts with our customers. In the three months ended June 30, 2003, we entered into 102 sales contracts over $100,000, up from 93 such contracts in the three months ended March 31, 2003. In addition, a number of these transactions in the three months ended June 30, 2003 included multi-product sales. We believe our transition from single product sales to solution selling will provide us with an opportunity for growth in the future.


Cost Control and Financial Discipline. We continue to pay close attention to our cost structure in order to maintain and grow operating cash flow. As part of this commitment, we undertook a reduction in force in the three months ended March 31, 2003, which resulted in lower operating expenditures during the three months ended June 30, 2003. In addition, in an effort to minimize operating expenditures, we consolidated a number of our facilities during the three months ended June 30, 2003.


Selective Acquisitions. We continue to pursue acquisitions that better position us to increase revenue growth and serve our customers’ technology needs. During the first half of 2003, we completed the acquisitions of Starbase and TogetherSoft, and made substantial strides in our efforts to integrate Starbase and TogetherSoft, both of which contributed to our Design product group performance during the first half of 2003.


Balance Sheet Strength. We believe that our balance sheet strength—particularly in a weak capital markets environment—is a key factor that enables us to successfully and effectively pursue our major objectives, including sustained research and development, acquisitions, and investments in sales and marketing. We finished the second quarter of 2003 with approximately $205 million in cash and short-term investments and no long-term debt.


Strengthening Strategic Relationships. We are focused on developing closer relationships with leading technology providers, system integrators and other partners who may provide us with access to key technologies and a broader potential customer base. In furtherance of this goal, we entered into strategic relationships with Fujitsu, Microsoft, Nokia, SAP and Sony Ericsson during the three months ended June 30, 2003.


International Diversification. We market and sell our solutions worldwide, and we believe that our brand recognition in the IT community is strong both in the United States and internationally. As a result, we believe we are positioned to benefit from pockets of economic strength worldwide. In the three months ended June 30, 2003, approximately 54% of our revenue came from outside the United States. Our European region continued to perform well (representing 35% of our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2003), despite economic weakness in selected countries. While generally our Asia-Pacific region experienced economic weakness (notably in Korea and Japan), Australia, New Zealand, China and India delivered their best quarters in recent history. We believe that our geographic diversification will continue to benefit us in the future.


           As a result of these efforts and the addition of Starbase and TogetherSoft to our operations, we achieved the following financial results during the first half of 2003:

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2003, net revenues grew 28% to $76.3 million, including $20.2 million in revenue associated with the operations we assumed in our acquisitions of Starbase and TogetherSoft, from $59.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, net revenues grew 29% to $150.6 million, including $37.2 million in revenues associated with the operations we assumed in our acquisitions of Starbase and TogetherSoft, from $116.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002.


Licenses and other revenues increased 13% to $56.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $50.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Licenses and other revenues increased 16% to $113.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $97.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

Service revenues increased 104% and 95% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, over the same periods in 2002. Service revenues increased 12% in the second quarter of 2003 as compared with the first quarter of 2003.


Gross margins increased to 86% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from 85% for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Gross margins increased to 87% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from 85% for the six months ended June 30, 2002.


Operating expenses increased 52% to $70.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $46.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Operating expenses increased 68% to $152.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $90.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002.


We had a net loss of $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared to net income of $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. We had a net loss of $22.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to net income of $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002.


Expenses from the amortization of intangible assets increased to $5.9 million and $11.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, from $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, primarily as a result of our acquisitions of Starbase and TogetherSoft.


Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments stood at $205.4 million as of June 30, 2003, a decrease of approximately $100 million from June 30, 2002. The decrease is primarily attributable to cash expended in connection with the acquisitions of Starbase and TogetherSoft.


We repurchased a total of 695,000 shares of our stock under our stock repurchase program for a total cost of $6.8 million during the first six months of 2003.

           Licenses and Other Revenues

 

           With the integration of the acquisitions of TogetherSoft and Starbase, we have aligned our presentation of licenses and other revenues to better reflect our application lifecycle management strategy. Specifically, we see three major product categories: Design, Develop and Deploy. Design includes the products from our recent acquisitions of TogetherSoft and Starbase: StarTeam, CaliberRM, Together and other related design and management products. Develop includes two major categories: Java, which includes JBuilder, Java Studio and Optimizeit, and .NET, which includes Delphi, C++Builder, Kylix and C++ Mobile Edition. Deploy is comprised of our Borland Enterprise Server products, InterBase and other enterprise products.

 

           Compared to our previous reporting, Design essentially encompasses the acquired products from Starbase and TogetherSoft, Develop encompasses our former Java and RAD product lines for which we break out revenues from Java and .NET, and Deploy encompasses the products that we previously described as the Enterprise product group. We have sought to provide comparability between historic product groups while updating our nomenclature to reflect new platforms and our emphasis on the application development lifecycle.

           Licenses and other revenues represent amounts for license fees and royalties earned for granting customers the right to use our software products. Licenses and other revenues were $56.6 million and $50.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and represented 74% and 84% of net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Licenses and other revenues were $113.4 million and $97.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and represented 75% and 84% of net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

           The following table presents our licenses and other revenues by product category for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands):

Net licenses and other revenues     $ 56,622   $ 50,095   13 %   $ 113,431   $ 97,763     16 %





           Design.   Licenses and other revenues from our Design product group for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 consisted of approximately $14.5 million and $26.2 million, respectively. There were no licenses and other revenues from our Design product group in the three or six months ended June 30, 2002, as we completed the acquisitions of TogetherSoft and Starbase and began consolidating their results in January 2003 and December 2002, respectively.  

 

           Develop.  Licenses and other revenues from our Develop product group included licenses and other revenues of $21.9 million and $25.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, from our Java product lines. The decrease in licenses and other revenues in our Java product lines was due to lower revenues from our JBuilder product. Licenses and other revenues from our Develop product group included licenses and other revenues of $43.2 million and $47.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, from our Java product lines. The decrease in licenses and other revenues in our Java product lines was due to lower revenues from our JBuilder product line partially offset by growth in our Optimizeit product line. The decrease in the JBuilder license revenue was due to lower upgrade revenues from our latest release, JBuilder 9, when compared with the release of JBuilder 7 in the three months ended June 30, 2002. We believe that licenses and other revenues from JBuilder will not be as dependent on future releases as the technology platform matures and more of our customers purchase software support services that provide customers with product upgrades. Licenses and other revenues from our Develop products group included licenses and other revenues of $10.7 million and $13.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, from our .NET product lines. Licenses and other revenues from our Develop products group included licenses and other revenues of $24.7 million and $28.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, from our .NET product lines. The decrease in licenses and other revenues from our .NET product lines was due to lower licenses and other revenues generated from our C++ products. This decrease was primarily attributable to the lack of a major product version release during the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2002, which included the release of C++Builder 6.

 

           Deploy.  Licenses and other revenues from our Deploy product group were $9.6 million and $11.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Licenses and other revenues from our Deploy product group were $19.3 million and $22.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in licenses and other revenues was due to lower revenues generated from our VisiBroker and application server products. Lower licenses and other revenues from these products resulted principally from a lower volume of sales in the Americas. We believe that this reduction in licenses and other revenues from our Deploy products was a result of general economic weakness and geopolitical uncertainty. Revenue growth from our Deploy products category will depend upon the recovery in corporate spending for deployment solutions, our ability to provide compelling technical solutions for software deployment to differentiate ourselves from our competitors and our ability to integrate our Deploy products with our Design and Develop products.

 

           Service Revenues

 

           Service revenues represent amounts earned for technical support, consulting and training services for our software products. Net service revenues were $19.6 million and $9.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, representing 26% and 16% of net revenues for those periods, respectively. Service revenues increased $10.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003 from the three months ended

June 30, 2002 primarily as a result of an increase in technical support revenues and, to a lesser extent, an increase in consulting revenue. Technical support revenues were $12.9 million and $6.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and represented 65% and 63% of total service revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The growth in the technical support revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2003 from the three months ended June 30, 2002 was due to the increase in support revenues associated with our assumption of the support obligations from the acquisitions of TogetherSoft and Starbase. Consulting revenues were $5.2 million and $1.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and represented 27% and 20% of total service revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in the consulting revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2003 when compared with the same period in the prior year was due to an increased emphasis on products with a greater process focus (our Design products) and approximately $2.5 million in consulting revenue recognized from large development projects with three technology partners. Based upon our progress to date on these projects, we expect consulting revenues from the development projects to decrease by approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 with substantially lower levels in the following quarters.

 

           Net service revenues were $37.2 million and $19.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, representing 25% and 16% of net revenues for those periods, respectively. Service revenues increased $18.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 from the six months ended June 30, 2002 primarily as a result of an increase in technical support revenues and, to a lesser extent, an increase in consulting revenues. Technical support revenues were $24.9 million and $12.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and represented 67% and 65% of total service revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The growth in the technical support revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2003 from the six months ended June 30, 2002 was due to the increase in support revenues associated with our assumption of the support obligations from the acquisitions of TogetherSoft and Starbase. Consulting revenues increased from $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 to $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in the consulting revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 when compared with the same period in the prior year was due to an increased emphasis on products with a greater process focus (our Design products) and approximately $4.0 million in consulting revenue recognized from large development projects with three technology partners. Over the longer term, we expect growth, if any, in our support revenues and our consulting revenues to depend on our success in selling our solutions into larger enterprises with greater frequency. Our service revenues may also grow as our new enterprise solution offerings increase in complexity and include more services as a component of larger sales contracts. We may experience decreases in our consulting revenue on a quarter-to-quarter basis as we complete large consulting engagements and if we are unsuccessful in expanding or renewing such engagements.

 

           International Net Revenues

 

           Revenues from sources outside the United States, or non-U.S. revenues, represented approximately 54% and 62% of net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Non-U.S. revenues represented approximately 55% and 62% of net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in the percentage of non-U.S. revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the same periods in 2002, was principally due to net revenues generated from our newly-acquired Design products in the U.S. We expect non-U.S. revenues to continue to be a significant portion of our net revenues in future periods, though the U.S. percentage is expected to be higher in 2003 as compared with 2002 due to the acquisitions of Starbase and TogetherSoft which had sales channels with a greater U.S. focus.

 

           Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates did not have a material impact on our net revenues or operating results for the three- or six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. However, our non-U.S. revenues would be harmed if the U.S. dollar were to strengthen against major foreign currencies, including the Japanese Yen, Euro and United Kingdom Pound Sterling. The following table presents our net revenues by region (in thousands):

Cost of Revenues

 

           Cost of Licenses and Other Revenues

 

           Cost of licenses and other revenues consists primarily of production costs, product packaging costs and royalties paid to third-party vendors. Cost of licenses and other revenues were $3.0 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, representing 4% and 6% of total licenses and other revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Cost of licenses and other revenues were $6.1 million and $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, representing 4% and 6% of total licenses and other revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The reduction in the cost of licenses and other revenues was principally attributable to a reduction in direct production costs as we had a larger percentage of our licenses and other revenues generated from large corporate contracts. Typically, large enterprise and corporate licenses are delivered electronically or represent additional licenses of software that have already been delivered. This has the impact of reducing our overall production costs. Royalty costs were 2% of licenses and other revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. The level of royalty costs in future periods will depend on our ability to obtain favorable licensing terms for our products that include third-party technology and the extent to which we include such third-party technology in our product offerings.

 

           Cost of Service Revenues

 

           Cost of service revenues consists primarily of salaries and benefits, third-party contractor costs and related expenses incurred in providing customer support, consulting and training. Cost of service revenues were $7.3 million and $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, representing 37% and 56% of service revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Cost of technical support revenues represented 25% and 29% of the cost of service revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, while cost of consulting and training revenues represented 75% and 71%, respectively, of the cost of service revenues for the same periods. Service revenues gross margins were 63% and 44% in the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Cost of service revenues were $13.9 million and $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, representing 37% and 55% of service revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Cost of technical support revenues represented 26% and 29% of the cost of service revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, while cost of consulting and training revenues represented 74% and 71%, respectively, of the cost of service revenues for the same periods. Service revenues gross margins were 63% and 45% in the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in gross margins for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 when compared with the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 was due to an increase in support revenues resulting from the assumed support obligations from the acquisitions of TogetherSoft and Starbase. In future periods, we expect increases in our cost of service revenues as our service revenues grow and the consulting and training revenues become a larger component of service revenues.

 

Operating Expenses

 

           Research and Development

 

           Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 were $15.5 million and $12.7 million, respectively, representing 20% and 21% of total net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 were $33.4 million and $24.7 million, respectively. Such expenses were 22% and 21% of total net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in research and development expenses was principally attributable to an increase in our research and development employee-related expenses of 29% and 37% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, as compared with the same periods in 2002. This was primarily due to an increase in our research and development headcount of approximately 210 employees at June 30, 2003 when compared to June 30, 2002, which was mostly a result of the acquisitions of TogetherSoft and Starbase. In addition, we recorded outsourced research and development charges of $2.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2003, resulting from the write-off of the loan receivable from AltoWeb. There were no outsourced research and development charges during the three months ended June 30, 2003 or for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002.

           Selling, General and Administrative

 

           Selling, general and administrative expenses were $46.6 million and $32.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, representing 61% and 54% of net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $92.9 million and $63.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, representing 62% and 54% of net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was principally attributable to an increase in our employee-related expenses of 43% and 48% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, as compared with the same periods in 2002. This was primarily due to an increase in headcount of approximately 250 employees at June 30, 2003 when compared to June 30, 2002, which was mostly a result of the acquisitions of TogetherSoft and Starbase. In addition, our facilities cost increased 38% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003 and 42% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 as compared with the same periods in 2002 as we assumed the lease obligations of TogetherSoft and Starbase.

 

           Restructuring, Amortization of Intangibles, Acquisition-Related Expenses and Other Charges

 

           The following table summarizes our restructuring, amortization of intangibles, acquisition-related expenses and other charges activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands):

Total   $ 8,510   $ 1,564   $ 26,382   $ 3,086  





           During the three months ended June 30, 2003, we recorded $5.9 million in amortization from purchased intangibles from the TogetherSoft, Starbase, VMGear, Bedouin, Boldsoft and Highlander acquisitions, and $2.7 million in acquisition-related expenses, which is principally associated with the earn-out provision of the VMGear acquisition. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, we recorded $5.3 million in restructuring costs from redundancies as a result of the TogetherSoft and Starbase acquisitions and excess facilities in the United Kingdom, $11.2 million in amortization from purchased intangibles from the TogetherSoft, Starbase, VMGear, Bedouin, Boldsoft and Highlander acquisitions, $5.2 million in acquisition-related expenses, which is principally associated with the earn-out provision of the VMGear acquisition, and a $4.6 million charge for in-process research and development from the TogetherSoft acquisition.

 

           During the three months ended June 30, 2002, we recorded restructuring, amortization of intangibles and acquisition-related expenses in the amount of $1.6 million, which consisted primarily of $1.2 million in acquisition-related expense associated with an earn-out provision in the VMGear acquisition. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, we recorded restructuring, amortization of intangibles and acquisition-related expenses in the amount of $3.1 million, which consisted primarily of $2.3 million in acquisition-related expense associated with an earn-out provision in the VMGear acquisition.

 

           The following table summarizes our restructuring activity under EITF 94-3 and SFAS 146 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 (in thousands):

from reduction of certain facilities leases. This amount represents our estimate of the costs to exit the facilities and is recorded in current liabilities.

 

           In addition, we recorded a charge for $2.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2003, for a change in estimate for lease termination costs related to a facility in the United Kingdom. Due to the timing of payments under the lease agreement, we have recorded these costs as a part of long-term restructuring. The total long-term lease termination obligation as of June 30, 2003 was $4.1 million.

 

Interest Income, Net and Other

 

           Interest income, net and other was $0.9 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Interest income, net and other was $2.1 million and $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decline in interest income, net and other during these periods when compared to the same periods in 2002 reflects a decrease in interest income of $1.4 million and $2.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, due to decreases in average cash balances and lower prevailing interest rates. Other income also decreased due to a decrease in rental income from our property on Green Hills Road, Scotts Valley, California of $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively. These declines were offset by foreign currency gains of approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, compared to foreign currency losses of approximately $0.7 million and $1.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively. Currency gains recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 were due to a decline in the U.S. dollar against certain major currencies including the Euro and Australian dollar. Currency losses recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 were due primarily to a gain in the U.S. dollar against the Brazilian Real and a decline against the Euro.

 

Income Taxes

 

           For the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, we recorded an income tax expense of $1.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, we recorded an income tax expense of $2.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively. Our tax provisions for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 were not based on our expected annual rate as we incurred non-U.S. withholding taxes in a number of foreign jurisdictions, regardless of our profitability, as well as non-U.S. income taxes for certain profitable foreign operations. As these tax liabilities were incurred in foreign jurisdictions, they were not offset by the benefits of prior U.S. net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.

 

           The expected rate is a combination of U.S. alternative minimum taxes, U.S. state taxes, non-U.S. withholding and income taxes. Our effective tax rate will continue to depend on the amount and location of our profits, the ability to utilize our net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards in certain jurisdictions, mostly in the U.S., and the amount of non-U.S. withholding taxes.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

           As of June 30, 2003, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $205.4 million, a decrease of $90.8 million from $296.2 million at December 31, 2002. Working capital decreased from $246.7 million at December 31, 2002 to $149.7 million at June 30, 2003. Working capital decreased $97.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2003 principally due to $76.9 million in cash used to purchase TogetherSoft and Starbase and $7.7 million in negative working capital assumed in the acquisition of TogetherSoft.

 

           Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $15.1 million, consisting of $22.7 million in net loss offset by $15.6 million in depreciation and amortization, a change in short-term restructuring of $10.9 million, a $2.2 million loss on a write-off of a loan receivable and a decrease in non-cash working capital, excluding change in short-term restructuring, of $0.7 million. Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $12.2 million, consisting of $9.3 million in net income and $3.4 million in depreciation and amortization offset by an increase in non-cash working capital of $0.5 million.

 

           Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 included $71.6 million and $5.3 million used for the acquisitions of TogetherSoft and Starbase, respectively, discussed in Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, $24.4 million for purchases of short-term investments and $3.3 million in cash used for the purchase of property and equipment, offset by $55.7 million in sales and maturities of short-term investments. Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 included $2.2 million used for

the acquisition of VMGear discussed in Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, $2.3 million in cash used for the purchase of property and equipment, and net purchases of short-term investments of $47.4 million.

 

           Cash provided by financing activities was $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and principally consisted of proceeds of $9.4 million from the issuance of common stock to employees under our employee stock option and employee stock purchase plans offset by $7.1 million in repurchases of common stock. Cash provided by financing activity was $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, which principally consisted of proceeds of $5.7 million from the issuance of common stock to employees under our employee stock option and employee stock purchase plans offset by $3.4 million in repurchases of common stock. $12.7 million remains authorized for future repurchases under the repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors in September 2001. During August 2003, our Board of Directors authorized an additional repurchase of up to $15.0 million of our common stock. We expect to continue to repurchase shares under our repurchase program from time to depending on market conditions, share price and availability and other factors at our discretion.

 

           Currency fluctuations did not have a significant impact on our cash position during the six months ended June 30, 2003. Although we partially hedge our foreign currency exchange rate risk, strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, United Kingdom Pound Sterling, Australian and Singapore dollars or the Japanese Yen would harm our business. We cannot predict currency exchange rate fluctuations and there can be no assurance that foreign currency exchange rates will not have a material adverse impact on our future cash flows and operating results. See further discussion of foreign currency risk in Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

 

           For the remainder of 2003, we expect that operating expenses will decrease as a percentage of revenue when compared with the six months ended June 30, 2003. We anticipate that operating expenses and planned capital expenditures will continue to constitute a material use of our cash resources. We expect our capital expenditures in 2003 to be greater than in 2002, however, there are currently no significant capital commitments. In addition, we may utilize cash resources to fund acquisitions or investments in other businesses, technologies or products lines. We believe that our available cash and cash equivalents, together with our anticipated future cash provided by operating activities, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and operating expense requirements for at least the next twelve months. At some point in the future we may seek additional funds to support our working capital and operating expense requirements or for other purposes and may seek to raise the additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings. If we seek additional financing, there is no assurance that this additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on reasonable terms and not dilutive to our stockholders.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS AND MARKET PRICE OF STOCK

 

           We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves many risks, some of which are beyond our control. The following is a discussion that highlights some of these risks. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations or results. If any of these risks actually occur, our business operations or results could be harmed.

 

We may not be able to successfully integrate acquired businesses into our existing business.

 

           As a part of our business strategy, we recently acquired a number of businesses, products and technologies, including our significant acquisitions of TogetherSoft and Starbase. Acquisitions entail numerous risks, including difficulties associated with the integration of operations, technologies, products and personnel. Acquisition integration issues are complex, time-consuming and expensive and, without proper planning and implementation, could significantly disrupt our business. The challenges involved in the integration of acquired businesses include, but are not limited to:

 

combining product offerings into an integrated solution suite and preventing customers from deferring purchasing decisions or switching to other suppliers due to uncertainty about the direction of our product offerings;


coordinating and rationalizing research and development activities to enhance introduction of new products and technologies with reduced cost;


demonstrating to customers that the acquisition will not result in adverse changes in customer service standards or business focus;


coordinating sales and marketing efforts to communicate our capabilities effectively;


preserving distribution, marketing and other important relationships and resolving potential conflicts that may arise; and


minimizing the diversion of management attention from ongoing business concerns.


           In the future, we may continue to make acquisitions of businesses, products or technologies. However, acquisitions entail numerous risks that, if realized, could harm our operating results. These risks include, but are not limited to:

 

there may not be suitable businesses, products or technologies available for acquisition on terms acceptable to us;


there may be substantial costs associated with acquisitions, including the potential dilution to our earnings per share, the incurrence or assumption of debt, the assumption of contingent liabilities, the amortization of expenses related to intangible assets and the legal and other fees associated with the negotiation and consummation of the acquisition;


we may make acquisitions in markets where we have limited or no prior experience;


there is no guarantee that any acquisition we complete will result in earnings accretion, cost efficiencies or synergies;


we may expend resources to acquire products and technologies that we are not ultimately able to commercialize;


we may acquire businesses that bring with them unanticipated or undisclosed liabilities, risks, costs and expenses;


we may acquire businesses or technologies at prices that are later determined post-acquisition to be in excess of fair value;


integration and other risks of acquisitions may be more pronounced for larger transactions or if multiple acquisitions are pursued simultaneously; and


if we fail to identify and complete these transactions, we may be required to expend resources to develop products and technology internally, which may put us at a competitive disadvantage, or we may be harmed by negative market perceptions, any of which would damage our operating results.

We may not be able to successfully compete against current and potential competitors.

 

           Our markets are intensely competitive. Rapid change, new and emerging technologies and fierce competition characterize these markets. The pace of change has accelerated due to the emergence of the Internet, and related programming platforms and languages, including Sun Microsystem’s Java and Microsoft’s .NET and C#.

 

           Below is a table of our chief competitors for each of our product lines:

 

Product Competitive Products

CaliberRM

IBM’s Rational Requisite Pro and Telelogic’s DOORS

Together ControlCenter

IBM’s Rational Rose and Rational XDE, and Embarcadero’s Describe

JBuilder

IBM’s WebSphere Studio Application Developer, Oracle’s JDeveloper and JetBrains’ IntelliJ

Delphi/C++

Microsoft’s Visual Studio and Visual Basic

Optimizeit

IBM’s Rational Purify Plus and Quest’s JProbe

Borland Enterprise Server, AppServer Edition

BEA Systems’ WebLogic, IBM’s WebSphere, Oracle 9i and Sun Microsystems Sun ONE

           We attempt to differentiate our products from our competitors’ products based on interoperability, cost of ownership, performance and reliability as well as their effectiveness in addressing our customers’ needs. We may not be able to successfully differentiate our products from those of our competitors in the future or be able to continue to enhance our product lines to meet the needs of our customers. In addition, many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, management, marketing and technical resources than we have. Many of our competitors have well established relationships with our current and potential customers, extensive knowledge of the market and extensive product development, sales and marketing resources. As a result of their greater resources and established relationships, these competitors may be more successful than we are at developing and marketing products in our markets.

 

           Because there are relatively low barriers to entry in a number of our markets, we also expect additional new competition from other established and emerging companies. In particular, given the growth and adoption of Java, we are observing increased attention to the market for Java development technologies, and expect additional new entrants. For example, certain vendors which have previously not focused significant resources on the Java development market have altered their product strategies to incorporate Java development offerings. Because we are dependent on the market for Java development for a substantial portion of our revenue, increased competition in this market could damage our competitive position. Increased competition in our markets, including competition from companies with substantial resources, could result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced gross margins and loss of market share. Any one of these results could substantially reduce our revenues.

 

Bundling arrangements or product give-aways by our competitors, including freely available development technologies, may diminish demand for our products or pressure us to reduce our prices.

 

           Certain of our competitors, particularly those that are primarily hardware vendors or platform providers, generate a substantially greater proportion of their sales in markets in which we do not directly compete. We believe a number of these competitors view sales of software development technologies as important for enhancing the functionality of, and demand for, their core products. As a result, some companies may bundle software development products that compete with our offerings with their other products, such as application servers, work stations, personal computers, operating systems and databases. When competitors do so, the effective price for

 


26



Table of Contents

 

software development products that compete with our products may be heavily discounted or offered at no charge. This could require us to reduce the price of our products and related services, diminish our revenues and harm our profitability. Similarly, industry alliances and arrangements exist or may be formed in the future under which our competitors ally with companies in markets in which we do not compete to bundle products. These arrangements may result in lower effective prices for our competitors’ products than our own prices, putting pressure on our business and diminishing our competitive position.

 

           In addition to bundled offerings and bundling arrangements, some competitors make available or have begun making available for no charge to their customers products that compete with our products, including our development solutions such as JBuilder. While we believe that products made available at minimal or no cost are not able to compete with our offerings on the basis of quality, performance and reliability, among other things, freely available competitive technologies are a risk to our business. At a minimum, technologies offered at no charge increase pricing pressure and threaten revenue potential. For example, IBM recently donated some of its proprietary software to the open source Eclipse initiative. Eclipse has created an open source toolkit in which customers can access and create development technologies at no charge. Wide adoption of this model may reduce demand for some of our products and may increase demand for some of our other products.

 

Consolidation in our industry may impede our ability to compete effectively.

 

           Consolidation continues to occur among companies that compete in our markets as firms seek to offer more extensive suites of software products and to take advantage of efficiencies and economies of scale. Additionally, a number of major hardware companies have sought to expand their software and services offerings through acquisitions. Recently, IBM acquired Rational Software, a competitor of ours. Changes resulting from this and other consolidations may harm our competitive position, particularly as certain products, when offered as part of a bundled suite, are offered for free or are given away to sell more hardware or infrastructure components. In addition, as the trend toward consolidation continues, we may encounter increased competition for attractive acquisition targets and may have to pay higher prices for those businesses or technologies we seek to acquire.

 

We are relatively new to selling comprehensive solutions for the application development lifecycle, and we may not be able to successfully compete in that broader market.

 

           The application development lifecycle market has been evolving, as customers are increasingly demanding development solutions that address each stage of the application development lifecycle. While we believe we maintain strong relationships with the IT organizations in large enterprises through our developer network, we do not have extensive experience selling comprehensive development solutions. Historically, we have focused on selling particular products for particular segments of the development process, most notably the sale of development tools. We have recently acquired a number of companies that we believe provide us with a more comprehensive product offering that is attractive to large enterprises. However, we have little history of selling these comprehensive solutions, and we may be unable to transition to effectively selling these solutions to large enterprises. To compete successfully in the application development lifecycle market we believe we will need to:

 

develop stronger relationships with systems integrators and other strategic partners with access to enterprise accounts and executive-level decision makers on application development lifecycle products;


coordinate the activities of our various product organizations to provide fully integrated products, including synchronizing release cycles;


successfully and efficiently educate our existing marketing, direct sales and indirect sales teams on selling comprehensive solutions; and


compete with several very large and well-established companies that already compete in these markets.  


The customers for our comprehensive solutions are, and we expect will continue to be, highly concentrated in a small number of vertical markets, so a continued economic downturn in these markets could significantly harm our revenues.

 

           A large portion of our revenues is derived from customers in a small number of vertical markets such as the technology, telecommunications, financial services and government related markets. While we believe that customers in these markets are attracted to the performance advantages of our products, continuation or deepening of the current economic downturn in any of these markets could have a significant adverse impact on our revenues. Our revenues from our Deploy business category were hurt in 2001, 2002 and the first six months of 2003 by the economic downturn in these markets, particularly the telecommunications market. Our failure to broaden our base of

 


27



Table of Contents

 

customers outside these vertical markets could reduce our future revenues if the extended downturn in our targeted vertical markets continues.

 

If we fail to effectively manage our growth, our infrastructure, management and resources could be strained, our ability to effectively manage our businesses could be diminished and our operating results could suffer.

 

           Our future success depends on growing our company. Failure to manage growth effectively could strain our resources, which would impede our ability to increase revenues. During the past two years, we have increased the number of product releases we make each year and have introduced a number of new products and services. In addition, we have undertaken a number of acquisitions in the last year, diversifying our product offerings and increasing our international research and development operations. There is a risk that we will be unable to manage the growth that we have recently experienced and that we will be unable to manage our substantially larger company, including our international operations. If we fail to manage these risks, our operating results could suffer.

 

           We plan to continue to expand the number and breadth of our solutions and their use in the future. Our ability to manage our planned growth effectively will require us to:

 

successfully hire, train, retain, motivate and integrate our employees;


enhance and integrate our operational, financial and management systems; and


expand and integrate our research and development capacity.


           As we expand and diversify our product and customer base, we may be required to increase our selling, general and administrative expenses. We also may be required to increase staffing and other expenditures in order to meet the anticipated demands of our customers. However, given that our customers do not commit to license our software for more than a short time in advance, any increase in expenses in anticipation of future orders that do not materialize could reduce our net income. If we are unable to match our increased staffing and other expenditures with similarly increased revenue, our profitability would be harmed.

 

Our increasing focus on enterprise customers may lengthen our sales cycles and increase fluctuations in our financial results.

 

           As we increasingly seek to license software products directly to our customers, particularly large enterprises, we have experienced sales cycles that are substantially more lengthy and uncertain than those associated with our traditional business of licensing software through indirect and retail channels. As we move to selling customers comprehensive solutions, we believe that a significant percentage of our future revenues will be from enterprise customers. These transactions typically contain multiple elements, including licenses for development and deployment products, technical support, maintenance, consulting and training services. As a result, these customers generally commit significant time and resources to evaluating our software, and they require us to expend substantial time, effort and money in establishing the enterprise relationship and in educating them about our software products and solutions. Also, sales to enterprise customers generally require an extensive sales effort throughout the customer’s organization and often require final approval by the customer’s Chief Information Officer or other senior executive employee. In particular, while our strategy includes leveraging the loyalty of our developer network to sell our application lifecycle management solutions within their enterprises, we believe that purchase decisions on software application technology often involve more senior-level employees than sales of the development products that we have traditionally sold. All of these factors substantially extend the sales cycle and increase the uncertainty of whether a sale will be made in any particular quarter, or at all. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience delays and uncertainty in our sales cycle as well as increased up-front expenses in connection with enterprise sales. The timing of the execution of enterprise volume licenses, or their nonrenewal by large customers, could cause our results of operations to vary significantly from quarter to quarter. In addition, the continued weakness in the market for IT investment, particularly for enterprise-wide deployments, has lengthened and may continue to lengthen our sales cycle, as prospective customers defer significant investments in IT infrastructure until the market for IT investment improves.

 

We have a relatively new direct sales force and our limited experience in managing it may impair our ability to expand sales and generate increased revenues.

 

           Because a significant percentage of our sales force is relatively new to our company following our recent acquisitions of TogetherSoft and Starbase, there is a limited history on which to evaluate their performance. There can be no assurance that our expanded sales force will succeed in increasing or sustaining our revenue or improving

 


28



Table of Contents

 

our competitive position or that our newly-hired employees will achieve desired levels of productivity. In addition, while we have experienced sales management personnel, we have limited experience in managing a large, geographically-dispersed sales force. For example, we may experience difficulty in integrating the new members of our sales team into our operations and adequately training them on our comprehensive solutions. Our failure to successfully manage our sales force may impair our ability to increase sales and grow our revenues.

 

If our efforts to motivate and train our sales and technical personnel are unsuccessful or are not cost-effective, our operating results would be harmed.

 

           In light of our substantially expanded product portfolio (as a result of our acquisitions), we need to extensively train and motivate our sales personnel, invest additional resources in our sales efforts and effectively educate our authorized resellers. Our software products and services require a sophisticated sales effort targeted at the senior management and IT departments of our prospective customers. In addition, we believe our products compare well to our competition’s products in performance and other technical benefits, increasing our need to have well trained, technically savvy sales personnel in order to communicate these advantages to prospective customers. We have made significant investments in training our direct sales force on the benefits of each component of our comprehensive solution in an effort to improve and motivate our sales force and increase sales. In addition, following our recent acquisitions, we re-allocated the territories in which our sales force operates. There can be no assurance, however, that these efforts will be successful in achieving positive results in the long term, and such changes and additional investments could significantly increase our sales-related expenses.

 

The number of factors that affect our revenues makes our future results for a particular period difficult to predict and therefore we may not meet expectations for a particular period.

 

           We believe that our revenues have the potential to vary significantly from time to time. These variations could cause our stock price to fluctuate significantly. We believe that these variations may result from many factors, including, but not limited to:

 

timing, and any delay in the introduction, of upgrades to existing products or releases of new products;


our limited experience in consistently forecasting revenues across all of our business units, particularly our newly-acquired business units;


the mix of channels through which we sell our products;


the relative mix of demand for our various products and services;


the size and timing of significant orders and their fulfillment;


the number, timing and significance of product upgrades and new product announcements by us and our competitors;


changes in pricing policies by us or our competitors;


customer order deferrals;


product defects that may be discovered from time to time and other product quality problems;


general domestic and international economic and political conditions; and


IT and overall capital expenditure budgets of our customers and prospective customers.  


           A significant portion of our customers, particularly enterprise-level customers, tend to place orders toward the end of a given quarter. Revenues may also fluctuate based on our customers’ fiscal year budgeting cycles. Therefore, revenues may be difficult to predict, and any shortfall in revenues for a quarterly period may not be known until late in the quarter. Additionally, our costs, while based on projected revenues, are relatively fixed in the short term. Therefore, if our revenue levels fall below projections, net income may be significantly reduced or result in losses. As a result, we believe that quarterly revenues and operating results will continue to be difficult to forecast and period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indications of trends or our future performance.

Our historical financial information relating to a number of our software development technologies is based on sales of development applications for currently adopted languages and traditional hardware platforms, and as such may not be indicative of our future performance in developing and marketing software for emerging programming languages and hardware platforms.

 

           Our historical financial information relating to a number of our software development technologies is based on sales of software designed to develop applications for currently adopted platforms (e.g., Windows and C++) as well as traditional computer hardware platforms (e.g., mainframes, work stations, applications servers, desktop personal computers, notebook computers, etc.). While we continue to enhance the functionality of these products and expect sales of these technologies to continue to generate a significant percentage of our revenues, we expect to derive an increasing percentage of our revenues from sales of our development technologies for emerging platforms such as ..NET, as well as emerging hardware platforms such as mobile computing devices. Relative to our traditional business, we do not have a lengthy operating history in these markets upon which to evaluate our prospects, which may make it difficult to predict our actual results in future periods. Accordingly, actual results of our future operations may not meet our anticipated results.

 

Our success is dependent on the growth of certain programming languages and standards.

 

           Many of our most popular products are focused on the Java language and platform, and we continue to invest heavily in software solutions for the Java platform as it evolves, including enterprise-focused standards such as Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition, or J2EE, and Enterprise JavaBeans, or EJB, to enhance the performance and functionality of these products. Java, however, was developed primarily for the Internet and corporate Intranet applications. We believe that Java is making significant inroads with respect to its adoption for enterprise applications, but it is unlikely to be the only major software architecture standard that enterprises will adopt. For example, it is expected that for the foreseeable future the Java language and platform will face significant competition in the enterprise market from Microsoft’s more recent alternative, namely its C# language and .NET platform. If Java, including EJB and J2EE, does not become widely adopted, our expected revenues would diminish.

 

           In addition, our deployment products, including Borland Enterprise Server, are based on Common Object Request Broker Architecture, or CORBA. CORBA is a standard from the Object Management Group, or OMG, for communicating between distributed objects (objects are self-contained software modules). CORBA provides a way to execute software programs written in different programming languages running on different platforms no matter where they reside in the network. While we believe that CORBA has achieved widespread acceptance as a software-based communications interface through which objects are located and accessed, critics contend that its penetration tends to be narrow and deep, resulting in large investments by relatively few enterprises. CORBA is a highly complex technology requiring significant investments and expertise to implement, as well as to support and train users. If CORBA is displaced or its popularity is diminished, our business would be harmed.

 

If our development products for Microsoft .NET are not successful, our business would be harmed.

 

           We are currently investing resources in our research and development efforts for Microsoft ..NET development products. Microsoft .NET is Microsoft’s new operating environment for software applications. While we have and will continue to release development products that support the .NET platform, our business would be harmed if our development product for the .NET platform fails to address the needs of our customers, or if our competitors, particularly Microsoft, develop more effective or efficient products. In addition, despite our efforts to provide effective and compatible development products for the .NET platform, customers may still elect to use an all-Microsoft development platform. Furthermore, the success of our .NET products is dependent upon Microsoft gaining market acceptance of its .NET platform. If Microsoft’s .NET platform does not gain market acceptance or gains acceptance more slowly than we anticipate, our investments in .NET compatible products may not generate their anticipated return. In conjunction with .NET, Microsoft has a new development language, C#. An alternative to Java, C# is an object-oriented programming language and is based on C++. We believe that C# is gaining in market acceptance. If certain emerging programming languages, such as Microsoft’s C#, gain significantly in popularity and we do not offer a development technology to facilitate development in such languages, our competitiveness could be diminished.

We depend on technologies licensed to us by third parties, particularly those of Sun Microsystems and Microsoft, and the loss of or inability to maintain these licenses could prevent or delay sales or shipments of certain of our products.

 

           We are dependent on licenses from third-party suppliers for some elements of our products such as various file libraries. In particular, we are dependent on technology licenses from Sun Microsystems for our Java products and we are dependent on licenses from Microsoft for our Delphi, C++Builder, C#Builder and Janeva products. If any of these licenses were terminated or were not renewed, or if these third parties failed to develop new technology products or failed to notify us in a timely manner of any new or updated technology, we might not be able to ship such products or provide support for such products, including upgrades. We would then have to seek an alternative to the third party’s technology and, in some cases, it is possible that an alternative may not exist. This could result in delays in releasing and/or shipping our products, increased costs or reduced functionality of our products which in turn could substantially reduce our revenues.

 

If we are unable to meet rapid changes in technology and introduce competitive products, our existing products could become technologically obsolete.

 

           The market for our products is highly competitive and is characterized by continuous technological advancement, evolving industry standards and changing customer requirements. While we believe that to date we have successfully developed products that incorporate the latest technologies and standards, we cannot be certain that we will successfully design and market new products and upgrades of our current products that are competitive and work with existing and new computer platforms and operating environments. This is especially true regarding the development of comprehensive solutions for the .NET platform.

 

           Additionally, we face a number of competitive risks in the software market, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

we may introduce products later than anticipated or later than competitors’ introductions;


competitors may introduce competing products at lower prices or potentially at no cost;


our products may not meet customers’ expectations regarding features and performance;


competitors’ products based on new technologies or new industry standards may quickly render our existing products obsolete;


the free availability of certain core new technologies may lower barriers to entry and minimize our competitive advantages on the basis of price and performance; and


in order to match actions by competitors, we may need to provide product upgrades at lower prices which may result in lower margins and decreased operating results.


           If we do not successfully address these risks, our business would be harmed.

 

If our products do not operate with the wide variety of hardware, software, operating systems, environments and programming languages used by our customers, our revenues would be harmed.

 

           Our customers use a wide variety of constantly changing hardware, software and operating platforms. We invest and will continue to invest significant resources to develop products for new or emerging software and hardware platforms in the server, desktop, personal digital assistant, mobile, wireless and other environments that may develop from time to time. However, there is a risk that a new hardware or software platform that we do not provide products for could rapidly grow in popularity. In particular, we believe that this risk is substantial for particular proprietary platforms and languages for which we may not be given preferential or economically feasible access or access at all. As a result, we may not be in a position to develop products for such platforms or may be late in doing so. If we fail to introduce new products that address the needs of emerging market segments, or if our new products do not achieve market acceptance as a result of delays in development or other factors, our future growth and profitability could suffer. In addition, we may incur significant expenditures to develop products for emerging platforms that do not ultimately become large or profitable market segments.

Because we rely on independent software vendors, value-added resellers, system integrators and other channel partners to complement our direct sales, if we cease doing business with one or more of these parties, our revenues could suffer.

 

           We rely on independent software vendors, or ISVs, value-added resellers, or VARs, systems integrators and other channel partners to complement our direct sales. A part of our strategy is to bundle our software in the products offered by VARs or ISVs. The pricing, terms and conditions of our agreements with these parties are individually negotiated and vary. A majority of these agreements are non-exclusive. Many of our agreements do not require our customers to make a minimum number of purchases. We have virtually no control over the shipping dates or volumes of systems shipped by our customers. Although we believe our relationships with our channel partners have been successful to date, we cannot guarantee that these relationships will continue to be successful or grow or that the channel partners will continue to purchase our products at the anticipated levels in the future. If we do not continue to receive referrals from third parties or if we are unable to secure license agreements with these parties on profitable terms, our business may suffer.

 

Failure to expand or grow our professional services offerings and enlist others to provide services for our products could harm our ability to sell comprehensive solutions to enterprise customers.

 

           We believe that growth in our licenses and other revenues will depend on our ability to provide our customers with comprehensive professional services and to enlist other parties to provide similar services, including independent software vendors, systems integrators, distributors and other channel partners. These professional services include maintenance, architectural consulting, training, education and project management. If we fail to attract, train and retain skilled personnel to deliver professional services, our ability to sell comprehensive solutions to enterprise customers could be seriously harmed. Competition for qualified professional services personnel is intense, and we may be unable to attract, train and retain the number of highly qualified professional services personnel that we need.

 

           As part of our growth strategy, we have also embarked on an effort to utilize our professional services more aggressively, including using them as a means to market our products or to obtain feedback which we can then incorporate into our product plans. A decline in the price of or demand for our professional services offerings may harm our growth strategy.

 

Our strategic relationships may not achieve their objectives, and the failure to do so could impede our growth.

 

           We currently maintain a number of important strategic alliances and technology relationships with industry leaders such as BEA Systems, Mercury Interactive, Microsoft, Nokia and Sun Microsystems. Our current technology allies give us, among other things, early access to emerging technologies and additional resources to market our products, as well as an entry point to contact potential customers. Similarly, our strategic relationships with systems integrators and resellers provide additional expertise to our customers and bolster our service capabilities. In the future, we anticipate exploring additional strategic alliances, technology relationships and other arrangements designed to further all of these goals. Our current or prospective strategic alliances and technology relationships may not achieve their intended objectives, however, and parties to our strategic alliances and technology relationships may not perform as contemplated. Additionally, our allies may choose to terminate their arrangements with us where no binding contractual arrangements exist. The failure to develop or maintain our strategic alliances and technology relationships, or our allies’ inability to perform or decision not to perform or to opt out of their arrangements with us, may impede our ability to introduce new products or enter new markets.

 

Our international operations and sales could be harmed by factors outside our control.

 

           A substantial portion of our revenues is from international sales. International sales accounted for approximately 54% and 62% of our revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively. In addition, following our acquisition of TogetherSoft, an increasing portion of our operations consists of activities outside the United States. We now have research facilities in Singapore, Sweden, Russia and the Czech Republic. Given our increasing presence in international markets and the potential for sales of our products in international markets, our business is increasingly subject to risks inherent in doing business internationally, including:

 

the difficulty of staffing and managing an organization spread over various countries and continents;


potentially reduced or less certain protection for intellectual property rights than is available under the laws of the United States;



32



Table of Contents

 

seasonal reductions in business activity during the summer months in Europe and other parts of the world


shipping delays of new product releases;


longer payment cycles in some countries and greater difficulty in collecting accounts receivable;


fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;


restrictions on the expatriation of currency from a particular country;


export restrictions, tariffs, duties and other trade barriers;


changes in regulatory requirements and resulting costs;


compliance with various conflicting laws and regulations, including employment laws, and resulting costs;


overlap of different tax structures;


terrorist activity;


war and threats of war; and


political or economic instability in certain parts of the world.


           One or more of these risk factors could harm our future research operations and international sales. In addition, our subsidiaries generally operate in local currencies and their results are translated monthly into U.S. dollars. If the value of the U.S. dollar increases significantly relative to foreign currencies, our products may become more expensive to foreign businesses, and, as a result, our sales in those foreign jurisdictions may suffer.

 

Our business may suffer if international trade is hindered, disrupted, or economically disadvantaged.

 

           Political and economic conditions abroad may harm international sales of our products. Protectionist trade legislation in either the United States or foreign countries, such as a change in the current tariff structures, export or import compliance laws or other trade policies, could adversely affect our ability to sell our software products and services in foreign markets. Trade protection measures and import and export licensing requirements subject us to additional regulation and may prevent us from shipping products to a particular market, and increase our operating costs. In addition, we could be subject to regulations, fines and penalties for violations of import and export regulations. Such violations could result in penalties, including prohibiting us from exporting our products to one or more countries and restrictions from transacting business with the U.S. government and instrumentalities thereof, and could adversely affect our business. Changes in policies by the U.S. or foreign governments resulting in, among other things, higher taxation, currency conversion limitations, restrictions on the transfer of funds or the expropriation of private enterprises also could have a material adverse effect on us. Any actions by countries in which we conduct business to reverse policies that encourage foreign investment or foreign trade also could harm our international operations.

 

Our research and development efforts may be costly and may not produce successful new products and product upgrades.

 

           Our future success will depend upon our ability to enhance our current products and develop and introduce new products on a timely basis, particularly if new technology or new industry standards render existing products obsolete. We believe that we will need to continue to incur significant research and development expenditures to remain competitive, particularly since many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do. The products that we are currently developing or may develop in the future may not be technologically successful or may not be accepted in our markets. In addition, the length of our product development cycle may be greater than we expect. If the resulting products are not introduced in a timely manner, or do not compete effectively with products of our competitors, our business will be harmed.

 

Delays in the introduction of new products may cause us to lose customers to our competitors or harm our reputation.

 

           From time to time, we announce when we expect to introduce a new product. We also attempt to maintain a consistent release schedule for upgrades of existing products. In the past, some of our products have shipped later, sometimes substantially later, than when we originally expected. The loss of key employees may increase the risk of

 


33



Table of Contents

 

these delays. Some of our products are based on technology licensed from third parties. We have limited control over when and whether these technologies are upgraded. The failure to receive adequate notice of, the delay in release of, or the inadequacy of enhancements to, technology licensed from third parties could have a material adverse effect on our ability to develop and enhance our products. Due to these uncertainties inherent in software development, it is likely that these risks will materialize from time to time in the future. We could lose customers as a result of substantial delays in the shipment of new products or product upgrades.

 

Because competition for qualified personnel is intense, we may not be able to recruit or retain qualified personnel, which could harm the development and licensing of our products.

 

           We believe that our ability to successfully grow and manage our business and to develop new products will depend, in large part, on our ability to recruit and retain qualified employees, particularly highly skilled software engineers and management personnel. In the past, some of our competitors have utilized their greater resources to provide substantial signing bonuses and other inducements to lure key personnel away from us. As a result, we may be required to further increase compensation and benefits, especially for members of management such as Dale L. Fuller, our President and Chief Executive Officer, who are almost completely vested in their options to purchase our stock. We are not certain that these efforts will succeed in retaining our key employees, and our failure to attract and retain key personnel could significantly harm our business. Even if we succeed in attracting and retaining key personnel, these increased compensation costs may not be offset through either improved productivity or higher revenues.

 

           We do not maintain key person insurance on any of our employees or management team members, including Mr. Fuller. If we lose one or more of the members of our management team or other key employees, we will not receive insurance or other proceeds to help offset the loss to us of unique skills and talents or the potentially high cost of replacement personnel, and our business and operating results could be seriously harmed.

 

Certain members of our senior management team have a limited history working together. The inability of our senior management team to work together effectively could harm our business. 

 

           Our success depends largely on the skills, experience and performance of the members of our senior management team and other key personnel. Several members of our existing senior management team, including Kenneth R. Hahn, our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Scott Langmack, our Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, and Peter Coad, our Senior Vice President & Chief Strategist, have been with us for less than two years. As a result, certain members of our senior management team have had a relatively limited time to work together, including their ability to work together as a team to manage our company. If they are unable to work together effectively and manage our organization, our business will suffer.

 

If the wireless and mobile application market does not develop as anticipated or we fail to penetrate the wireless market, our future growth may be harmed.

 

           We have introduced new solutions targeted at development applications for mobile and wireless devices, including JBuilder Mobile Edition, JDataStore 6 and C++Builder Mobile Edition. We have also entered into strategic relationships or technology relationships with wireless device manufacturers, including Nokia, in order to enhance our position in this market. If the market for mobile and wireless applications does not develop as we anticipate or as quickly as we anticipate, the demand for our wireless products will be adversely impacted.

 

           The growth in the market for mobile and wireless applications will depend on a number of factors, including:

 

the rate of adoption of mobile devices by enterprises and consumers, including personal digital assistants, handheld computers, smart phones, pagers and other mobile devices;


the rate of adoption of wireless applications and services available on such devices by enterprises and consumers; 


the success in marketing of wireless applications and services by a limited number of communication service providers, and the effect of the pricing of those applications and services on market penetration;


the rate of build-out of, and upgrades to, existing wireless networks, including, but not limited to: availability of rights to cell and switch sites, as well as zoning variances and other approvals for network construction; completion of cell site design, frequency planning and network optimization;



34



Table of Contents

 

 

completion of fixed network implementation; expansion of customer care, network management and billing systems; and vendor equipment availability; and  


the availability of additional radio frequency spectrum capacity to enable service providers to expand existing wireless data services and develop third generation services.


           In addition to the development and growth of the market itself, our ability to generate significant revenue in the wireless application development market will depend on our ability to adapt to the rapid technological shifts in this market to keep our products viable and competitive. Technological factors that may harm our ability to generate substantial revenue in the wireless market include:

 

a decline in the popularity of Java or C++ as programming languages for wireless and mobile application development; 


failure of a dominant platform or operating system to emerge and our corresponding ability to develop technologies that facilitate software development and deployment across the range of such technologies;


increasing proliferation of mobile or wireless devices with varying technical specifications and form factors, and our corresponding ability to develop products capable of facilitating development and deployment to the range of devices with such varying requirements; and


evolving standards and other technological changes.


           If the wireless and mobile market does not develop as we anticipate or if we are unable to respond to technological shifts in the market, our anticipated sales could be reduced. In addition, even if the wireless market does develop and we have competitive products, our failure to market and sell these products to our customers will harm our anticipated sales and operating results.

 

If we cannot increase market awareness of our products and services our business could be harmed.

 

           We continue to expand our marketing operations in order to increase market awareness of our products and services, enhance the goodwill associated with the “Borland” brand, market our products and services to a greater number of customers and generate increased revenue. Our products and services increasingly require effective marketing efforts to address the various departments of an enterprise, as well as the developer community at large, and our inability to effectively market our products could impede our ability to compete. In addition, the need to engage in these marketing efforts could result in a significant increase in our expenses.

 

We depend on a small number of distributors for a significant portion of our revenues; if we lose one or any of our major distributors our revenues could suffer.

 

           We depend on a small number of distributors for a significant portion of our revenue, and we expect that a small number of distributors will continue to account for a significant portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future. Presently, some software distributors are experiencing financial weakness. If we lose a major distributor, such as Ingram Micro, or if we fail to increase the number of our distributors, our ability to maintain or increase our market share could be significantly harmed. As a result, our revenues could drop quickly and unexpectedly.

 

We are dependent upon certain retail distribution channels. If these retailers cease to carry our products our revenues would be harmed.

 

           Our license revenues made through retail distribution channels is subject to events that cause unpredictability in customer demand. Our retail distributors also carry the products of our competitors. Some of our retail distributors have limited shelf space and limited capital to invest in inventory. Their decision to purchase our products is based on a combination of demand for our products, our pricing, the terms and special promotions we offer and other factors that we do not control and cannot predict. Our agreements with retail distributors are generally nonexclusive and may be terminated by them or us without cause. Accordingly, our distributors may not continue to carry our products, which would harm our revenue prospects.

We may incur future impairment losses related to intangible assets from prior acquisitions that could negatively affect our future operating results.

 

           We have recently acquired significant assets and businesses. If the assets and businesses do not perform as expected, substantial quantities of intangible assets may need to be amortized or written off. To the extent the assets cannot be amortized, we may be required to take impairment charges related to the intangible assets from these acquisitions. Such charges could harm our operating results.

 

We have net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards that may change our effective tax rate and in turn have a material effect on our income.

 

           Our effective tax rate is primarily dependent on the location of our taxable profits, if any, due to our net operating loss carryforwards in certain, but not all, jurisdictions, and the imposition of withholding taxes on revenues regardless of our profitability.

 

           We have significant U.S. federal and state income tax net operating losses. For U.S. federal and state income tax purposes, we had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $186 million and $6 million at December 31, 2002, respectively. We also had available U.S. federal and state tax credit carryforwards of approximately $19 million and $11 million, respectively. These loss and credit carryforwards expire between 2005 and 2021, if not utilized. Utilization of federal and state net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before full utilization. We also have approximately $27 million of net operating loss carryforwards in various foreign jurisdictions. Certain of these loss carryforwards will expire in 2003. To the extent we are unable to utilize these loss and credit carryforwards, our effective tax rate will rise. A higher effective tax rate may harm our future after tax income.

 

           On January 7 and January 14, 2003, we completed the acquisitions of Starbase and TogetherSoft, respectively. As a result, we succeeded to the pre-acquisition federal and state net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards of both companies. Utilization of these federal and state net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards will be subject to a similar annual limitation as discussed above.

 

Legislative actions may cause our operating expenses to increase.

 

           The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the California Disclosure Act and newly-proposed or enacted rules and regulations of the SEC or the Nasdaq National Market, impose new duties on us and our executives, directors, attorneys and auditors. In order to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and any new rules promulgated by the SEC or Nasdaq, we may be required to hire additional personnel and use additional outside legal, accounting and advisory services. These expenses affect our company proportionally more than they do larger companies. Any of these developments could materially increase our operating expenses and, accordingly, reduce our net income.

 

Potential new accounting pronouncements may cause our net income to decrease.

 

           We currently account for employee stock options using the intrinsic-value method in accordance with APB 25, and have not recognized any compensation expense for awards of employee stock options in the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. SFAS 123 permits us to continue accounting for stock-based compensation as set forth in APB 25, provided we disclose the pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share of using a fair-value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans.

 


36



Table of Contents

 

           Had we recorded compensation expenses based on the estimated grant date fair value for awards granted under our stock option and stock purchase plans, our pro forma net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 would have been as follows (amounts in thousands, except per share data):

 

Three Months Ended June 30,
Six Months Ended June 30,

2002
Net income (loss):

   As reported – diluted   $ (0.06 ) $ 0.06   $ (0.28 ) $ 0.12  
   Pro Forma – basic   $ (0.14 ) $ (0.02 ) $ (0.44 ) $ (0.05 )
   Pro Forma – diluted   $ (0.14 ) $ (0.02 ) $ (0.44 ) $ (0.05 )

           If we change our method of accounting for employee stock options, whether voluntarily or as a result of changes in accounting rules, it could materially decrease our net income as reported under generally accepted accounting principles.

 

If our encryption technology does not satisfy our potential customers’ needs for the confidential transfer of information, sales of certain of our deployment products could suffer.

 

           We use and will continue to use encryption technology licensed by third parties in some of our products, such as in Borland Enterprise Server, to provide security for the exchange of our customers’ confidential information. Encryption technologies have been breached in the past. There can be no assurance that there will not be a compromise or breach of our security technology. If such a breach were to occur, it could harm our reputation and sales of our deployment products.

 

If the license of our products that contain encryption technology is delayed by export regulations, revenues from licensing some of our products in foreign markets could be harmed.

 

           There are numerous regulations regarding the export of encryption technology from the United States. In the past, some of our sales have been delayed while we have awaited regulatory clearance to export our encryption technology, especially to countries outside the European Union. Similar delays in the future would reduce our revenues.

 

Our products may contain unknown defects that could result in a loss of revenues, decreased market acceptance, injury to our reputation and product liability claims.

 

           Software products occasionally contain errors or defects, especially when they are first introduced or when new versions are released. We have not experienced any substantial problems to date from potential defects and errors, but we cannot assure you that our products are or in the future will be completely free of defects and errors. Errors in our software may be caused by defects in third-party software incorporated into our products. If so, we may be unable to fix these defects without the cooperation of these software providers. Because these defects may not be as significant to our software providers as they are to us, we may not receive the full and timely cooperation that we may require. In addition, we may not have the contractual right to access the source code of third-party software and, even if we access the source code, we may be unable to detect and fix the defect. The discovery of a defect or error in a new version or product may result in the following consequences, among others:

 

delayed shipping of the product;


delay in market acceptance;


diversion of development resources;


damage to our reputation; and


increased service and warranty costs.



37



Table of Contents

 

These consequences could increase our costs or decrease our revenues.

 

           Our products also interoperate with many components of complicated computer system implementations, such as mainframes, application servers, personal computers, application software, databases, operating systems and data transformation software. Failure of any one of these components could cause all or large portions of computer systems to fail. In such circumstances, it may be difficult to determine which software or hardware component failed, and it is likely that customers would bring a lawsuit against several companies, including us. Regardless of its merits, responding to any claim can be time consuming and costly and divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel. In addition, we may not have insurance coverage for these types of claims or our insurance coverage for these types of claims may not be adequate.

 

           Many of our license agreements contain provisions designed to limit our liability for potential product liability claims. It is possible, however, that these provisions may not protect us because of existing or future federal, state, local or foreign laws or ordinances or judicial decisions. A successful product liability claim for large damages brought against us could reduce our profitability.

 

Intentional efforts to harm or disrupt the functioning of our software or website could harm our reputation and result in significant unexpected costs.

 

           Our products or services may be the target of intentional disruptions, such as software viruses specifically designed to impede the performance of our products. Similarly, experienced computer programmers or hackers may attempt to penetrate our network security or the security of our website and misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions to the delivery of our services or products. Our activities could be substantially disrupted, and our reputation and future sales could be harmed, if these efforts were successful.

 

The price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly.

 

           Like the publicly-traded securities of other high technology companies, the market price of our common stock has experienced significant fluctuations and may continue to fluctuate significantly. During the period from July 1, 2002 to June 30, 2003, the price of our common stock has ranged from a low of $6.48 on July 12, 2002 to a high of $14.85 on November 4, 2002. On August 11, 2003, the most recent practicable date prior to the filing of this Form 10-Q, the closing price of a share of our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market was $9.03. From time to time, the market price of our common stock may be significantly affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

announcements of new products or product upgrades by us or our competitors;


announcements of the acquisition of new products or businesses by us or our competitors;


technological innovation by us or our competitors;


quarterly variations in our results of operations or those of our competitors;


changes in the prices of our products or those of our competitors;


changes in actual or projected revenues and revenue growth rates for us as a whole or for specific geographic areas, business units, products or product categories;


changes in the price-to-earnings, price-to-sales and other multiples used to value companies in the software industry;


changes in revenues, earnings or other estimates by research analysts who cover our stock;


actual or anticipated changes in information technology spending;


a decision by a research analyst to initiate or drop coverage on our stock or upgrade or downgrade our stock; 


speculation by the press, product analysts or research analysts about us, our products, revenues and/or earnings, including the growth rate of each, or potential acquisitions;


the trading volume in our stock;


stock transactions from time to time by our executive officers and members of our board of directors;


actual or anticipated changes in interest rates; and

general market and economic conditions or market conditions specific to the software industry.


Sales of our common stock by significant stockholders may cause the price of our common stock to decrease.

 

           Several outside investors in Borland own significant portions of our common stock. For example, based on the most recent Schedule 13G filings made with the SEC, Merrill Lynch and Co., Inc. owned 5,809,366 shares, or 7.2%, of our common stock, FMR Corp. owned 4,061,982 shares, or 5.0%, of our common stock, Franklin Resources, Inc. owned 4,021,016 shares, or 5.0%, of our common stock and Microsoft Corporation owned 1,900,169 shares, or 2.3%, of our common stock. Further, of the 8,998,628 shares of common stock we issued in connection with our acquisition of TogetherSoft, a total of 3,285,461 shares were issued to Object International, Inc. and Dietrich Charisius, two former stockholders of TogetherSoft. These 3,285,461 shares are subject to restrictions on their resale until January 14, 2005. If these stockholders were to sell significant amounts of their Borland stock, then the market price of our stock could be negatively impacted. The effect of such sales, or of significant portions of our stock being offered or made available for sale, could result in downward pressure on our stock. Investors should be aware that they could experience significant short-term volatility in our stock if such stockholders decide to sell a substantial amount of their Borland stock at once or within a short period of time.

 

We may become subject to costly and time-consuming class action litigation following significant changes in our stock price.

 

           In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against such companies. Were such litigation to be commenced against us, we could incur substantial costs and there would be diversion of our management’s attention and resources, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our investments in securities of other companies may not yield any returns. Any investment losses or other expenses related to these investments could harm our operating results for a particular period.   

 

           From time to time, we may make investments in equity and/or debt securities of other companies that we believe further our strategic objectives. Our ability to recover our investments in non-marketable equity and debt securities and to earn a return on these investments is dependent, in part, on how successfully these companies are able to execute on their business plans, as well as their ability to obtain venture capital funding to continue operations and to grow. In the current equity market environment, their ability to obtain additional funding as well as to take advantage of liquidity events, such as initial public offerings, mergers and acquisitions, is significantly constrained. As a result, we may not be able to recover the initial amount invested in these companies. In the event that our investments in these or other debt or equity securities do not prove successful, our operating results may be harmed.

 

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, we may lose valuable assets.

 

           As a software company, our intellectual property rights are among our most valuable assets. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret laws, domain name registrations, confidentiality agreements and other contractual arrangements and other methods to protect our intellectual property rights, but these measures may provide only limited protection. The protective steps we have taken may be inadequate to deter misappropriations of our intellectual property rights. In addition, it may be possible for an unauthorized third party to reverse-engineer or decompile our software products. We may be unable to detect the unauthorized use of, or take appropriate steps to enforce, our intellectual property rights, particularly in certain international markets. Litigation may be necessary to protect our intellectual property rights, and such litigation can be time consuming and expensive. We have 106 issued U.S. patents, 10 issued foreign patents, approximately 49 additional pending applications for U.S. patents and approximately 32 pending applications for foreign patents. It is possible that some or all of our patents may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. It is also possible that our pending patent applications may never result in issued patents, and if they do result in issued patents, those patents may be invalidated. In addition, effective protection of intellectual property rights is unavailable or limited in some foreign countries, making the possibility of misappropriation of our intellectual property more likely. Current laws in the United States that prohibit copying give us only limited practical protection from software “pirates,” and the laws of many other countries provide very little protection in this respect. Policing unauthorized use of our products is difficult, expensive and time consuming and we expect that software piracy will be a persistent problem for all software products. In addition, the unique technology of the Internet may tend to increase, and provide new methods for, illegal copying and distribution of intellectual property. Accordingly, we cannot be certain that we will be able

to protect our intellectual property rights against unauthorized third-party copying or use. This could harm our competitive position.

 

We may incur substantial expenses and divert management resources in prosecuting others for their unauthorized use of our intellectual property.

 

           In the future, we may need to file lawsuits to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. This litigation, whether successful or unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources. In addition, should any of our competitors file patent applications or obtain patents that claim inventions also claimed by us, we may choose to participate in an interference proceeding to determine the right to a patent for these inventions. Even if the outcome is favorable, this proceeding could result in substantial cost to us and disrupt our business.

 

Third party claims of intellectual property infringement may subject us to costly litigation or settlement terms or limited sales of our products.

 

           From time to time, we have received notices claiming that we have infringed a third party’s patent or other intellectual property right. We expect that software products in general will increasingly be subject to these claims as the number of products and competitors increase, the functionality of products overlap and as the patenting of software functionality becomes more widespread. Further, the receipt of a notice alleging infringement may require in some situations that a costly opinion of counsel be obtained to prevent an allegation of intentional infringement. Regardless of its merits, responding to any claim can be time consuming and costly and divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel from productive tasks. In the event of a successful claim against us, we may be required to pay significant monetary damages, including treble damages if we are held to have willfully infringed, discontinue use and sale of the infringing products, expend significant resources to develop non-infringing technology and/or enter into royalty and licensing agreements that might not be offered or be available on acceptable terms. If a successful claim were made against us and we failed to commercially develop or license a substitute technology, our business could be harmed. In addition, we may not have insurance coverage for these types of claims or our insurance coverage for these types of claims may not be adequate.

 

Increasing regulation of the Internet, imposition of sales and other taxes on products sold or distributed over the Internet and privacy concerns relating to the Internet could harm our business.

 

           The electronic commerce market is relatively new and rapidly evolving. While this is an evolving area of the law in the United States and overseas, currently there are relatively few laws or regulations that directly apply to commerce on the Internet. Changes in laws or regulations governing the Internet and electronic commerce, including, without limitation, those governing an individual’s privacy rights, pricing, content, encryption, security, acceptable payment methods and quality of products or services could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Taxation of Internet commerce, or other charges imposed by government agencies or by private organizations may also be imposed. Laws and regulations applying to the solicitation, collection and processing of personal or consumer information could also be enacted. Any of these regulations could result in a decline in the use or popularity of the Internet as a medium for commerce, which could harm our future sales and revenue growth.

 

Our charter documents and Delaware law could discourage an acquisition of our company, even if an acquisition might be viewed as beneficial to our stockholders.

 

           Our stockholder rights plan, and certain provisions in each of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Amended and Restated Bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law may discourage, delay or prevent an actual or potential change in control of our company even if that change in control could be beneficial to and in the best interests of our stockholders. This could limit our stockholders’ ability to approve a transaction that they may deem to be in their best interests. In addition, our Board of Directors has the authority, without stockholder approval, to fix the rights and preferences of, and issue shares of one or more series of preferred stock.

 

           In October 2001, we adopted a new stockholder rights plan, which replaced an existing plan that expired in December 2001, to protect our stockholders in the event of a proposed takeover that has not been recommended or approved by our Board of Directors. Under our current stockholder rights plan, each share of our outstanding common stock has attached to it one preferred share purchase right. Each preferred share purchase right entitles the holder, other than the acquiring person or entity, under certain circumstances, to purchase shares of our common stock at a 50% discount from its then-current market price.

Our corporate headquarters is located in Northern California, which is susceptible to earthquakes.

 

           Our corporate headquarters and a substantial portion of our research and development operations are currently located in Northern and Southern California, areas known for significant seismic activity. Seismic activity, such as a major earthquake, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. We currently do not have a formal disaster recovery plan nor do we currently maintain property and casualty insurance coverage for seismic activity. Additionally, we may not carry sufficient business interruption insurance to compensate us for any losses that we may sustain as a result of any seismic activity.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

           Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, as well as credit risk concentrations. To address the foreign currency exchange rate risk we enter into various hedging transactions as described below. We do not use financial instruments for trading purposes.

 

Foreign Currency Risk

 

           We transact business in various foreign countries and have established a foreign currency hedging program utilizing foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge intercompany balances and other monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies. The goal of the hedging program is to offset the earnings impact of foreign currency-denominated balances by entering into contracts to sell or buy foreign currency at the time a foreign currency receivable or payable is generated. We do not use foreign currency forward exchange contracts for trading purposes. At month-end, foreign currency-denominated balances and the forward exchange contracts are marked-to-market and unrealized gains and losses are included in current period net income.

 

           During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003, we have recorded net foreign exchange gains of $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The foreign exchange gains were generated primarily due to the weakness of the dollar relative to the South Korean Won, the United Kingdom Pound Sterling, the Australian Dollar and the Euro offset against foreign exchange losses due to the strength of the dollar against the Brazilian Real. It is uncertain whether these currency trends will continue. If the U.S. dollar strengthens against these or other major currencies, we will experience foreign exchange losses on our intercompany receivables to the extent that we have not hedged the exposure with foreign currency forward exchange contracts. Such foreign exchange losses could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and cash flows.

 

           During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003, we recorded a foreign currency gain of approximately $1.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively, as part of other comprehensive income due to foreign currency movements on our long-term intercompany balances. As of June 30, 2003, we had $8.8 million and $2.9 million in long-term intercompany balances that will be denominated in Australian dollars and Singapore dollars, respectively. We also have a U.S. dollar denominated long-term intercompany receivable with our Brazilian subsidiary of $1.8 million.

 

           The table below provides information about our derivative financial instruments, comprised of foreign currency forward exchange contracts as of June 30, 2003. The information is provided in U.S. dollar equivalent amounts, as presented in our financial statements. For foreign currency forward exchange contracts, the table presents the notional amounts (at the contract exchange rates), the weighted average contractual foreign currency exchange rates and the net fair value as of June 30, 2003. All forward contracts in the table below are net amounts and represent contracts to sell the currencies listed. These instruments mature within twelve months (dollar amounts in thousands).

     South Korean Won       2,000   0 .0008      


         Total     $ 13,850         $ (59 )



Interest Rate Risk

 

           Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio. We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. We place our cash equivalents and short-term

 


42



Table of Contents

 

investments in a variety of financial instruments such as commercial paper. By corporate policy, we limit the amount of our credit exposure to $5.0 million to any one commercial issuer.

 

           We mitigate default risk by investing in securities rated at least A2/P2 as published by Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s, and by positioning our portfolio to respond appropriately to a significant reduction in the credit rating of any investment issuer. To ensure portfolio liquidity, our portfolio includes only marketable securities with active secondary and resale markets.

 

           The table below presents principal (or notional) amounts and related weighted average interest rates by year of maturity for our investment portfolio as of June 30, 2003 (dollar amounts in thousands).

Short-term investments 
    Fixed rate$ 25,116               $ 25,116
    Average interest rate  1.21%                 1.21%

Credit Risks

 

           Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term investments and trade receivables. Our cash equivalents and short-term investments are in high quality securities placed with major banks and financial institutions and commercial paper. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables are limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across geographic areas. We perform periodic credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and generally do not require collateral. As of June 30, 2003, no single group or customer represents greater than 10% of total accounts receivable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

           (a)  Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2003 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

           (b)  Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the three months ended June 30, 2003, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

           On November 27, 2002, a stockholder class action and derivative lawsuit, Dieterich v. Harrer, et al., Case No. 02CC00350, was filed against Starbase Corporation and five former directors of Starbase in the Superior Court of the State of California for Orange County. The complaint alleged that the former directors had breached fiduciary duties owed to Starbase and stockholders of Starbase. Borland is paying the costs of defending this litigation pursuant to indemnification obligations under the merger agreement relating to the acquisition of Starbase by Borland. On January 23, 2003, defendants filed a demurrer seeking to have all the claims dismissed, and also filed a motion to stay discovery pending a ruling on the demurrer. On February 25, 2003, plaintiff filed its first amended class action complaint, or the amended complaint, naming as defendants the five former directors and the investment banking firm that provided financial services to Starbase, two law firms that provided legal services to Starbase and an individual and entity that helped arrange financing for Starbase. The amended complaint purported to be brought on behalf of Starbase stockholders who tendered shares of Starbase common stock in the tender offer commenced by Borland on October 11, 2002 and that ended on November 11, 2002, or in the merger that was completed on January 7, 2003. Plaintiff alleged that the five former directors breached their fiduciary duties owed to Starbase in connection with a proposed financing of Starbase in mid-2002, and that the other defendants aided and abetted the purported breach of fiduciary duty. The director defendants filed a demurrer seeking dismissal of the amended complaint. On June 6, 2003, the court sustained the demurrer of all defendants and dismissed the lawsuit against all defendants but granted the plaintiff leave to amend the complaint against the director defendants. On July 3, 2003, the plaintiff filed a second amended complaint. On July 8, 2003, plaintiff filed a request for voluntary dismissal of the action without prejudice. Defendants opposed that request on the ground that plaintiff wanted to refile the action in another jurisdiction while still being able to pursue the litigation in the Superior Court of the State of California of Orange County or appeal the court’s decision to the California Court of Appeal. On July 31, 2003, the court held that plaintiff’s request for dismissal was deficient, but permitted plaintiff to file another request. The court also stayed the litigation until October 29, 2003. The court has granted the motion of the director defendants to stay discovery. There is no indication at present that the lawsuit will have a material effect on Borland’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

 

           From time to time, we may be involved in other lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, consisting of intellectual property, commercial, employment and other matters, which arise in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” or SFAS 5, we make a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. However, we believe that we have valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending against us, as well as adequate provisions for any probable and estimable losses. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur in any specific period, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations for that period. We believe that, given our current liquidity and cash and investment balances, even were we to receive an adverse judgment with respect to litigation that we are currently a party to, it is likely that such a judgment would not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

 

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

           At the annual meeting of Borland stockholders held on June 12, 2003 at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher and Flom LLP, located at 4 Times Square, New York, New York (the “Annual Meeting”), the following matters were voted upon:
