CLICK2LEARN, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2001

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Click2learn, Inc. (“Click2learn”) include the accounts of Click2learn and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     These statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. Interim results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year. Factors that may affect such operating results, include, but are not limited to, those discussed in “Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations". Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Click2learn’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Net Loss Per Share

     Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common and dilutive shares outstanding during the period. As Click2learn had a net loss in each of the periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same.

     Excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 are options to acquire approximately 5,396,505 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $6.02 and warrants to purchase 3,633,686 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $5.75 because their effects would be anti-dilutive. Options to acquire approximately 5,469,500 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $7.53 and warrants to purchase 1,797,829 shares of common stock with a weighted exercise share price of $8.45 have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 because their effects would be anti-dilutive.

Revenue Recognition

     Click2learn recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position 97-2 (“SOP 97-2”), Software Revenue Recognition, issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, which, as modified, stipulates that revenue recognized from software arrangements is to be allocated to each element of the arrangement based upon the relative fair values of the elements, such as software products, upgrades, enhancements, post-contract customer support, installation or training, using evidence which is specific to Click2learn. If such evidence of fair value for each element does not exist, all revenue from the arrangement is deferred until such time that fair value does exist or until all elements are delivered. Revenue from software licenses is recognized upon shipment provided no significant obligations remain outstanding and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. An allowance for returns is provided at the time of the sale. Revenue from support agreements is recognized over the life of the contract.

     Professional services revenue is recognized from fixed price contracts as services are provided or by using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, based on the ratio of costs incurred to the total estimated project cost, for individual fixed-price contracts. Provisions for any estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses become evident.

     Revenue from the e-Learning Network includes site fees, hosting, royalties, and content sales. The revenues are determined by individual contracts, one to three years in length, which specify functionality of the site and the commerce conducted on the site. The e-Learning Network fees are recognized ratably over the life of the contract. Royalty revenue is recognized as earned. Content revenue is either recognized evenly over the life of the contract for

course usage on bundled curriculum courses or recognized at the time of the purchase of individual e-Learning courses. Revenues from tangible goods, including books, videotapes and CD-ROMs are recognized at the time of shipment.

Comprehensive Loss and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

     The following table sets forth the components of comprehensive loss for the periods presented below:

                                 
    Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended
    June 30,   June 30,
   
 
    2002   2001   2002   2001

Total comprehensive loss
  $ (4,209 )   $ (3,183 )   $ (9,905 )   $ (7,740 )
 
   
     
     
     
 

     Accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 consists of foreign currency translation adjustments.

Derivative Financial Instruments

     Click2learn had no derivative financial instruments outstanding at June 30, 2002.

Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements

     In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 141 “Business Combinations” and Statement No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Statement No. 141 requires business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and specifies criteria for recognizing intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Statement No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with definite useful lives will continue to be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives.

     Click2learn adopted the provisions of Statement No. 141 as of July 1, 2001. No business combinations have been initiated since July 1, 2001. Goodwill resulting from business combinations completed prior to June 30, 2001 was amortized through December 31, 2001. Based upon Click2learn’s analysis, there was no impairment of goodwill upon adoption of Statement 142 on January 1, 2002 upon completion of the transitional goodwill impairment test. Click2learn’s identifiable intangible assets as of January 1, 2002 consisted of acquired technology. Click2learn has reviewed the useful lives of identifiable intangible assets as of January 1, 2002 and determined that the original useful lives of 3 to 5 years was appropriate. Click2learn plans to conduct its annual goodwill impairment testing during the fourth quarter of the year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“Statement 146”). Statement 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities. This statement supersedes Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity. Click2learn is required to adopt Statement 146 no later than January

1, 2003 and the accounting and reporting for exit and disposal activities will be impacted on a prospective basis.

Segment Information

     Click2learn’s internal reporting includes three reportable segments: Platforms, Tools, and Content Services. Platforms includes software licenses, subscription and hosting fees, implementation, customization, training and support for the Aspen Enterprise Learning Platform as well as the Ingenium learning management system which is now part of the Aspen platform, and the e-Learning Network, which is no longer offered to new customers. Tools includes software licenses, technical support and training for ToolBook II product line. Content Services includes custom development of e-Learning courses, consulting, licensing, implementation and hosting fees for ReDS, a content development system that is no longer offered, and royalties from sales of third party content.

     Click2learn’s operating committee, which includes its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) as it assesses the performance of the business units and decides how to allocate resources to the business units. Segment income is the measure of profit and loss that the CODM uses to assess performance and make decisions. Segment income represents revenues less cost of revenues incurred within the operating segments as presented in Click2learn’s consolidated statements of operations. Click2learn does not allocate operating expenses including research and development, sales and marketing, general and administrative, or amortization of goodwill to its operating segments. In addition, other income (expense) is also not allocated to operating segments.

     There are no intersegment revenues. Click2learn’s CODM does not review total assets or depreciation and amortization by operating segment. The accounting policies for reported segments are the same as for Click2learn as a whole.

Sale of Certain Assets and Employee Severance and Loss on Excess Facilities

     During January 2002, Click2learn sold certain assets of its custom content development business, including equipment and a customer list, to NIIT (USA), Inc. (“NIIT”) under an Asset Purchase Agreement for $1 million, resulting in a gain of $927,000 based on the book value of the assets. As a result of the transaction, NIIT will be Click2learn’s primary strategic partner for custom content development services. If certain targets for the referral of custom content development business to NIIT are attained, NIIT will pay Click2learn up to an additional $1 million in each of 2002 and 2003. In addition, Click2learn receives a commission on certain custom content development or software implementation business referred to NIIT.

     As a result of the transaction with NIIT, Click2learn significantly reduced the headcount of its custom content development business and closed certain facilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, Click2learn had employee severance and excess facilities costs of $1.1 million, which included $196,000 of severance benefits, $270,000 to write-down leasehold improvements to net realizable value and $672,000, representing the excess of our future lease commitments over estimated income from subleasing activities. As of June 30, 2002, all employee severance benefits had been paid and $315,000 was included in accrued expenses for the loss on excess office facilities. Although, Click2learn believes that its estimates of future sublease income and the time required to locate tenants are reasonable, losses may increase if actual experience differs from Click2learn’s estimates.

Subsequent Events

     In July 2002, Click2learn decided to voluntarily terminate its custom content development agreement related to the Washington National Guard. As of June 30, 2002, Click2learn was owed approximately $5.0 million related to ongoing custom content development projects which it believes would be collectable if all remaining work were completed under the contract. It is possible that Click2learn may incur off-setting obligations as a result of its decision to terminate the agreement or that some or all of the receivable may not ultimately be collected. Click2learn is currently negotiating the terms of terminating the agreement and transitioning certain of its employees to other contractors who may continue projects in process. The results of these negotiations cannot yet be determined. Click2learn expects that it will exit its remaining custom content development business through a run-off of operations which will be completed in either the third or fourth quarter of 2002.

Overview

     We are a leading developer and provider of enterprise learning software products and services for companies, government agencies and educational institutions. We design, develop, market, license and support an integrated suite of enterprise learning software products and related services that allow our customers to cost-effectively create, personalize and manage the delivery of educational content. In the third quarter of 2001, we introduced our new Aspen platform that unifies collaborative content development, personalized content delivery and comprehensive learning management in an integrated system designed to be open, flexible and scalable. We provide our enterprise learning products and services to customers across a broad range of industries including financial services, accounting, healthcare, insurance, technology, manufacturing, telecommunications, transportation, utilities, government and education.

     We report revenues around the primary components of our solutions:

          Platforms revenues include software licenses, subscription and hosting fees, implementation, customization, training and support related to the Aspen platform, our Ingenium learning management system, the precursor product to the Aspen Learning Management Server, and our e-Learning Network, which is no longer offered to new customers.
 
          Tools revenues primarily include software licenses, technical support and training related to our ToolBook II line of products.
 
          Content Services revenues are derived from the creation of custom learning content, consulting, fees for licensing, implementing and hosting our Rapid e-Learning Development System (“ReDS”), and sales of third party off-the-shelf content. ReDS is a collaborative development system that was licensed in connection with certain custom content development engagements and is no longer offered.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     Our critical accounting policies and estimates are as follows:

          Revenue recognition
 
          Estimating allowances for sales returns and the allowance for doubtful accounts

          Valuation of goodwill

     Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue pursuant to the requirements of Statement of Position No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (SOP 97-2), as amended by Statement of Position No. 98-9, “Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Arrangements.” Under SOP 97-2, revenue attributable to an element in a customer arrangement is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and delivery has occurred, provided the fee is fixed or determinable, collectibility is probable and the arrangement does not require significant customization of the software.

     For all sales, we use either a binding purchase order or signed agreement, depending on the nature of the transaction, as evidence of an arrangement. Sales through our significant resellers are evidenced by a master agreement governing the relationship.

     For software license fees in single element arrangements and multiple element arrangements which do not include customization or consulting services, delivery typically is deemed to occur when the product is shipped to customers.

     At the time of each transaction, we assess whether the fee associated with our revenue is fixed and determinable and whether or not collection is reasonably assured. We assess whether the fee is fixed and determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. If a significant portion of a fee is due after our normal payment terms, based upon a variable matrix such as a minimum level of distribution or subject to refund, we account for the fee as not being fixed and determinable. In these cases, we defer revenue and recognize it when it becomes due and payable.

     We assess the probability of collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the current financial condition of the customer. We do not request collateral from our customers. If we determine at the time of the transaction that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, we defer revenue until the time collection becomes reasonably assured.

     For multiple element arrangements, when company-specific objective evidence of fair value exists for all of the undelivered elements of the arrangement, but does not exist for one or more of the delivered elements in the arrangement, we recognize revenue under the residual method. Under the residual method, at the outset of the arrangement with a customer, we defer revenue for the fair value of its undelivered elements such as consulting services and product support and upgrades, and recognize the revenue for the remainder of the arrangement fee attributable to the elements initially delivered, such as software licenses, when the criteria in SOP 97-2 have been met. Company-specific objective evidence is established for support and upgrades of standard products for which no installation or customization is required based upon the amounts we charge when support and upgrades are sold separately. For multiple element arrangements involving installation or customization, company-specific objective evidence is established for support and maintenance arrangements if our customers have an optional annual renewal rate specified in the arrangement and the rate is substantive. Company-specific objective evidence is established for consulting and installation services based on the hourly rates we charge for our employees when they are performing these services provided we have the ability to accurately estimate the hours required to complete a project based upon our experience with similar projects.

     Professional services revenue is recognized from fixed price contracts as services are provided or by using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, based on the ratio of costs incurred to the total estimated project cost, for individual fixed-price contracts. Provisions for any estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses become evident. Professional services revenue from time and materials contracts and training services is recognized as revenue as services are performed.

     We recognize revenue from non-refundable minimum royalty agreements from distributors or resellers upon delivery of product to the distributor or reseller, provided no significant obligations remain outstanding and the conditions of SOP 97-2 have been met. Additional royalties are recognized as revenue to the extent the minimums are exceeded when earned, based on the distributor’s or reseller’s contractual reporting obligations.

Table of Contents

     Revenue from subscription licenses, hosting agreements and support agreements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract.

     Allowances for Sales Returns and Doubtful Accounts. The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Specifically, we must make estimates of potential future product returns related to current period product revenue. We analyze historical returns, current economic trends, and changes in customer demand and acceptance of our products when evaluating the adequacy of the sales returns and other allowances. Significant judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with establishing reserves for sales returns and the allowance for doubtful accounts in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if we made different judgments or utilized different estimates. Similarly, we must make estimates of the uncollectability of our accounts receivables. We specifically analyze the age of accounts receivable and analyze historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.

     Valuation of Goodwill. We assess the impairment of goodwill on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the fair value of a reporting unit to which goodwill relates is less than its carrying value. Factors we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include poor economic performance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results, significant negative industry, economic or company specific trends and changes in the manner of our use of the assets or the plans for our business. If we were to determine that the fair value of a reporting unit was less than its carrying value, including goodwill based upon the annual test or the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, than we would measure impairment based on a comparison of the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of a reporting unit to its assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill. To the extent the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill, we would record an impairment charge for the difference.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2001

     Revenue. Total revenues were $7.6 million and $15.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, down 35% and 32% as compared to $11.7 and $22.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. These results reflect higher Platform revenues, offset by declines in Tools and Content Services revenues. We believe the Aspen platform offers the greatest opportunity for growth in the coming periods and therefore have decided to focus our sales and R&D efforts primarily on the Aspen platform. The Tools segment, while complementary to the Aspen platform, does not and will not receive the same level of sales and R&D focus it has had in prior periods. The Content Services segment has decreased as a result of our decision to discontinue providing custom content development services, which will be completed with the transition of our contract to develop content for the Washington National Guard. As a result, we expect that the Platforms segment will be our primary growth segment for the foreseeable future and that the Tools and Content Services segments will continue to decline.

     Platform revenue was $5.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, an increase of 19% from $4.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Platform revenue was $10.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, an increase of 43% from $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase for the three and six month periods in Platform revenues is attributed to increased demand for our Aspen suite of products and related services.

     Tools revenues were $1.2 million and $2.5 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002, down 32% and 35% as compared to $1.8 million and $3.8 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002, reflecting the focus of sales and R&D resources on the Aspen platform.

     Content Services revenues were $875,000 and $1.7 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002, down 83% and 84% from $5.3 million and $10.9 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001, reflecting the moves taken to exit the content development business. We expect the content development business to be completed in the third or fourth quarter of 2002 through a runoff of operations.

     In July 2002, we announced that we had voluntarily chosen to seek an end to our contract under which we produce custom content for the Washington National Guard. We made this decision because this business did not align with our long term strategic decision to focus the company’s efforts on the Aspen platform and related services. We are currently negotiating the terms of the transition with the Washington National Guard and with Information Systems Support, Inc., the prime contractor. We expect that this transition will be completed by the end of September 2002. Combined with the sale to NIIT in January 2002 of the commercial portion of our custom content development business, the termination of this contract will mark the discontinuation of our custom content development business. For purposes of comparison, custom content development revenue is and has been the primary contributor of revenue reported under the Content Services category. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 custom content was $4.3 million and $9.0 million or over 80% of the revenue reported under Content Services.

     Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue of $3.1 million and $7.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 decreased 47% and 40% from $5.9 million and $12.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. Cost as a percentage of revenue decreased from 50% to 41% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001, and decreased from 54% to 48% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001. The decline is a result of the reduction of our custom development business that historically has been a lower margin business as compared to the software sales.

     Cost of Platforms revenue includes labor costs associated with software implementations, costs of packaging and duplication. Cost of Platforms revenue of $1.5 million and $3.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 increased 89% and 112% as compared to $784,000 and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. Cost as a percentage of revenue increased from 17% to 27% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001, and increased from 19% to 28% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increased costs are a result of higher Platform revenues and the personnel cost of larger services engagements to implement these systems.

     Cost of Tools revenue includes labor costs associated with training Toolbook customers, costs of packaging, duplication and royalties. Cost of Tools revenue of $287,000 and $682,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 decreased 36% and 27% from $450,000 and $936,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. The decline is due to reduced Tools revenues resulting from the focus of our efforts on the Aspen platform. Cost as a percentage of revenue was relatively flat, decreasing slightly from 25% to 23% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001, and increasing slightly from 24% to 27% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001.

     Cost of Content Services revenue includes personnel costs for professional services provided and royalties on sales of third party content. Cost of Content Services revenue of $1.3 million and $3.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 declined 71% and 64% from $4.7 million and $9.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. Cost as a percentage of revenue increased from 88% to 152% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001, and increased from 90% to 205% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in costs and increase in costs as a percentage of revenue are a result of the phase out of our custom development business.

Operating Expenses

     Research and Development. Research and development costs of $2.4 million and $4.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 increased 12% and 5% from $2.1 million and $4.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. Research and development costs are primarily salaries and facility costs related to personnel who develop the Aspen platform. The increase was due to increased staff added to the Aspen development team. We do not anticipate adding additional staff to the Aspen development for the remainder of 2002.

     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing costs of $4.8 million and $9.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 decreased 3% and 4% from $5.0 million and $9.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. Sales and marketing costs consist primarily of salaries, commissions and promotional programs. The decline was a result of lower variable sales costs. In July, we reduced sales and marketing headcount and the budget for promotional programs and as a result we expect that the sales and marketing expenses will be lower for the remainder of 2002.

     General and Administrative. General and Administrative costs of $1.4 million and $3.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 declined 10% for the three month period and increased 8% for the six month period as compared to $1.6 million and $3.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. General and Administrative costs consist primarily of salaries, state taxes, bad debt expenses and facility related costs. The decline in the three months ended June 30, 2002 was due to lower headcount. The increase for the six months resulted from transition costs associated with the sale of our commercial custom development assets to NIIT. In July 2002, we reduced general and administrative headcount and as a result of that reduction and the discontinuance of our custom content development business, we expect that general and administrative expenses will be lower for the remainder of 2002.

     Amortization of Goodwill. Goodwill amortization was $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $312,000 and $551,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. As of January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement 142 which requires that goodwill is no longer amortized, but subject to an annual impairment test.

     Other Income. Interest income, net, on cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended June 30, 2002

Table of Contents

was ($3,000) and $22,000 as compared to $83,000 and $255,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease was due to lower interest rates and lower investment balances. Click2learn Japan K.K. is a joint venture which we account for our interest using the equity method of accounting. We recorded a loss of $75,000 and $100,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, representing our equity share of losses. For the six months ended June 30, our share of the net losses of Click2learn Japan, K.K. were $150,000 and $200,000 for 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Sale of Certain Assets and Employee Severance and Loss on Excess Facilities

     During January 2002, we sold certain assets of our content development business, including equipment and a customer list to NIIT under an Asset Purchase Agreement for $1 million, resulting in a gain of $927,000 based on the book value of those assets during the six months ended June 30, 2002. As a result of the transaction, NIIT will be our primary strategic partner for custom content development services and we will refer or subcontract custom content development work to NIIT. If certain targets are attained, NIIT will pay us up to $1 million additional in each of 2002 and 2003. In addition, we will receive a commission on certain business referred to NIIT.

     As a result of the transaction with NIIT, we significantly reduced the headcount of our custom content development business and closed certain facilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, we had employee severance and excess facilities costs of $1.1 million, which included $196,000 of severance benefits, $270,000 to write-down leasehold improvements to net realizable value and $672,000, representing the excess of our future lease commitments over estimated income from subleasing activities. As of June 30, 2002, all employee severance benefits had been paid and $315,000 was included in accrued expenses for the loss on excess office facilities. Although we believe that our estimates of future sublease income and the time required to locate tenants are reasonable, losses may increase if actual experience differs from our estimates.

Adoption of Accounting Standards

     In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“Statement 141”), and No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“Statement 142”). Statement 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 as well as all purchase method business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. Statement 141 also specifies certain criteria that intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet in order to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Statement 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of Statement 142. Statement 142 also requires that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. The provisions of Statement 141 were adopted effective July 1, 2001. No business combinations were completed during the period July 1, 2001 to June 30, 2002. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in business combinations completed before July 1, 2001 have been amortized through December 31, 2001.

     As of January 1, 2002, we have identified intangible assets, consisting of acquired technology and goodwill, net of accumulated amortization. Upon adoption of Statement 142, we ceased amortizing goodwill. During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, we completed our transitional goodwill impairment test. Based upon our analysis, there was no impairment of goodwill upon adoption of Statement 142 on January 1, 2002. We plan to conduct our annual impairment testing during the fourth quarter of each year. In addition, we reviewed the useful lives of our identifiable intangible assets and determined that the original estimated lives of 3 to 5 years remains appropriate.

     In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting of the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“Statement 144”), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Statement 144 supersedes certain provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations — Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual, and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions” and supersedes SFAS 121. We adopted Statement 144 as of January 1, 2002. Adoption of Statement 144 did not effect our consolidated financial position or results of operations

as of January 1, 2002.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (Statement 146). Statement 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities. This statement supersedes Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity. We are required to adopt Statement 146 no later than January 1, 2003 and the accounting and reporting for exit and disposal activities will be impacted on a prospective basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At June 30, 2002, our principal source of liquidity was $10.0 million of working capital, a decrease of $10.9 million from December 31, 2001. At June 30, 2002, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $ 5.0 million, a decrease of $4.6 million from December 31, 2001.

     In addition to our cash and cash equivalents, the other primary component of working capital was our accounts receivable. At June 30, 2002, we had $13.9 million in accounts receivables, down from $19.4 million at December 31, 2001, due to decreased revenues and improved collection efforts.

     Cash used for operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $3.3 million. In July and August of 2002 we took steps to reduce our expected uses of cash for the remainder of 2002. As a result, we anticipate that we will use $1.4 million of cash for operations in the third quarter for severances and other costs related to the expense reductions, but that overall our uses of cash for operations for second half of 2002 will be minimal. In order to reduce operational cash requirements we have enacted a mixture of staff and expense reductions as well as taken steps to end our service arrangement whereby we develop custom content for the Washington National Guard which has had long payment cycles. Most work under this contract is required to be billed upon completion of curriculum that typically takes several months to develop. We anticipate voluntarily terminating our custom content development agreement related to the Washington National Guard. As of June 30, 2002, we were owed approximately $5.0 million for projects in process. We are currently negotiating the terms of terminating the agreement and transitioning certain of our employees to other contractors who may continue projects in process. Although we do not yet know the outcome of these negotiations, we believe the receivable would be collectable if all remaining work were completed under the contract. It is possible that we may incur off-setting obligations as a result of our decision to terminate the agreement or that some or all of the receivable may not ultimately be collected.

     Uses of cash for investing activities were $1.9 million offset by $567,000 received from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Uses of cash for investing activities consisted primarily of the purchase of technology for $2.7 million offset by $1.0 million for assets sold to NIIT. We do not anticipate any significant uses of cash for investing activities in the second half of 2002.

     The steps we have taken to reduce operating expenses for the second half of 2002 are intended to minimize or eliminate the need for any type of financing activities by moving us to a cash flow positive level of operations at currently expected revenue levels and revenue mix. We will continue to monitor our cash and liquidity and will seek additional financing or make additional expense reductions if it becomes required.

     In order to increase the liquidity of our receivables, we have established a $4 million working capital line of credit and a two-year $1 million term loan facility for purchases of capital assets with Silicon Valley Bank. Both lines bear interest at the Silicon Valley Bank prime rate plus 1.50% and are collateralized by our assets. Covenants in the loan agreements include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends or make other distributions, make acquisitions or investments, merge or consolidate with others or dispose of assets. If not renewed the working capital line terminates and any advances made are due on November 5, 2002. The term loan is payable in 24 monthly payments of $41,666.67 plus interest ending October 1, 2003. At June 30, 2002, we had a combined balance of $1,067,000. Our loan agreement requires us to maintain certain financial ratios and meet other financial covenants. The failure to meet those covenants could prevent us from accessing the working capital line and result in the acceleration of any balances under either the working capital line or the term loan. We were in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2002 or have obtained appropriate waivers from the bank at no cost to us. We anticipate consolidating the two loan facilities into a $5 million working capital line by the end of October 2002.

     Our long-term liquidity will be affected by numerous factors, including economic conditions, both generally and in the market for enterprise learning software, demand for our Aspen platform, Aspen platform sale cycles, the extent to which our enterprise learning solutions achieve market acceptance, the timing and extent to which we invest in new technology, the expenses of sales and marketing and new product development, the extent to which competitors are successful in developing their own products and services and increasing their own market share, the level and timing of revenues, the collection of these receivables, the availability of our lines of credit and other factors.

     To the extent that resources are insufficient to fund our activities, we may need to raise additional funds. Such additional funding, if needed, may not be available on attractive terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to expand our business, develop or enhance our products and services, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

     Our contractual commitments at June 30, 2002 are substantially similar to those at December 31, 2001 disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K.

Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations

Our quarterly operating results are uncertain and may fluctuate significantly, which could negatively affect the

16


Table of Contents

value of your investment.

     Our operating results are difficult to predict accurately and have varied significantly from quarter to quarter and are likely to continue to fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which we cannot control. Factors that may adversely affect our quarterly operating results include:

          the size and timing of product orders and the timing and execution of professional services engagements;
 
          the mix of revenue from products and services;
 
          the mix of products sold;
 
          the ability to meet client project milestones;
 
          the market acceptance of our products and services;
 
          our ability to develop and market new or enhanced products and services in a timely manner and the market acceptance of these products and services;
 
          the timing of revenues and expenses;
 
          recognition of impairment of existing assets, in particular the amount of the write-off resulting from our decision to exit the custom content development business and termination agreement with the Washington National Guard; and
 
          the timing of revenue recognition.

     Our future revenues are difficult to predict and we may not be able to adjust spending in response to revenue shortfalls. Our limited operating history with our current enterprise learning solutions, possible acquisitions and the emerging nature of the enterprise learning market make prediction of future revenue and expenses difficult. Expense levels are based, in part, on expectations as to future revenue and largely are fixed in the short term. We will likely be unable to, or may not elect to, reduce spending quickly enough to offset any unexpected revenue shortfall. If we are unable to predict future revenue accurately, we may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall.

Our business currently does not generate the cash needed to finance our operations, and for that and other reasons we may need additional financing in the future, which we may be unable to obtain.

     Our business currently does not generate the cash needed to finance our operations and may not begin to do so in 2002. As a result, we may need additional funds to finance our operations in the future as well as to enhance our products and services, fund our expansion, respond to competitive pressures or acquire complementary businesses or technologies. In addition, poor financial results, additional expenses or unanticipated opportunities that require capital commitments could give rise to additional financing requirements sooner than we expect. We may be unable to obtain financing on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to finance our operations, enhance our services, fund our expansion, respond to competitive pressures or take advantage of business opportunities. We have taken steps to restrict our operations in order to conserve our existing cash and we may need to further significantly restrict our operations in the future.

A deterioration of general economic conditions may materially and adversely affect our business.

     Our revenues are subject to fluctuation as a result of general economic conditions. A significant portion of our revenue is derived from the sale of products and services to large companies or government agencies, which historically have reduced their expenditures for enterprise software applications during economic downturns. In recent quarters, our sales force has experienced increased delays, cancellations or reductions in scope of sales opportunities as a result of the downturn in the economy. Should the economy weaken further in any future period,

17


Table of Contents

these organizations may further delay, cancel, or reduce their expenditures on enterprise software applications, which could adversely affect our business.

We have a history of losses and may have continued losses in the future.

     We incurred a net loss of approximately $4.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002. As of June 30, 2002, our accumulated deficit was $221.8 million. We have not yet achieved profitability and may not do so during 2002. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may be unable to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.

We have a limited operating history in our current markets, which makes it difficult to predict our future performance.

     Our limited operating history in our current markets makes it difficult to predict our future performance and may not provide investors with a meaningful basis for evaluating an investment in our common stock. From our inception until early 1995, we were engaged in various research and development activities and in developing and marketing multimedia-authoring products, database and Internet tools, web publishing products and other ancillary products, most of which we do not currently sell. In 1995, we began to focus our development and marketing efforts on products and services for the enterprise learning market. We released the Aspen platform in September 2001. Accordingly, we have a limited operating history on which to evaluate our current business and future prospects.

The enterprise learning software market is in the early stages of development and may not grow to a sufficient size or at a sufficient rate to sustain our business.

     The enterprise learning software market is in the early stages of development, and may not grow to a sufficient size or at a sufficient rate for our business to succeed. Corporate training and education historically have been conducted primarily through classroom instruction. Although technology-based training applications have been available for several years, they currently account for only a small portion of the overall corporate learning market. Accordingly, our success will depend on the extent to which companies implement enterprise learning software solutions for the design, development, delivery and management of their corporate learning needs.

     Many companies that have already invested substantial resources in traditional training methods may be reluctant to adopt a new strategy that may limit or compete with their existing investments. Even if companies implement enterprise learning software solutions, they may still choose to develop such solutions internally. If the use of enterprise learning software does not become widespread or if companies choose to develop such software internally rather than acquiring it from third parties, then our enterprise learning software may not be commercially successful.

We face risks encountered in emerging markets and may be unsuccessful in addressing these risks.

     We face risks frequently encountered in new and rapidly evolving markets. Specific risks we face relate to the demand for and market acceptance of our enterprise learning solutions. We may fail to adequately address these risks, and therefore our business may suffer. To address these risks, we must:

          effectively market our enterprise learning software to new and existing customers;
 
          continue to enhance the technology upon which our enterprise learning software is based;
 
          successfully implement our enterprise learning software for our customers and generate continuing revenues from those customers; and
 
          address and establish new technologies and technology standards.

We face intense competition from other enterprise learning software providers and may be unable to compete

18


Table of Contents

successfully.

     The enterprise learning software market is highly fragmented and competitive, with no single firm accounting for a dominant market share. Our competitors vary in size, scope and the breadth of products and services offered. We face competition from:

          other developers of enterprise learning systems, such as Saba and Docent;
 
          large professional consulting firms and in-house IT departments; and
 
          developers of web authoring tools.

     Certain of our existing and potential competitors have longer operating histories and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources and therefore may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards and customer requirements or to compete more aggressively on pricing. Price competition would likely result in reduced gross margins and may prevent the Aspen platform from yielding results sufficient for our business to succeed.

     Strategic relationships are important in expanding the distribution reach of companies in the enterprise learning market. If our competitors were to establish strategic relationships to resell or distribute their products through their strategic partners, our ability to market and sell products and services successfully may be substantially diminished. In addition, the existence or announcement of strategic relationships involving our competitors could adversely affect our ability to attract and retain customers.

     Because of the lack of significant barriers to entry in the enterprise learning market, new competitors are likely to enter this market in the future. In particular, vendors of other enterprise software applications such as enterprise resource planning, human resource management or customer relationship management have indicated an intent to add learning delivery and management functionality to extend their current product lines within their existing customer base. If such vendors were to announce plans to add such functionality, our ability to sell our products and service to their customers could be substantially diminished and our business could be adversely affected. Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share. We may not be able to contend effectively with such increased competition.

The loss of the services of our senior executives and key personnel would likely cause our business to suffer.

     Our success depends to a significant degree on the performance of the senior management team and other key employees. The loss of any of these individuals could harm our business. We do not have employment agreements with several of our executives or with any other key employees, and we do not maintain key person life insurance for any officers or key employees.

     Our success also depends on our ability to attract, integrate, motivate and retain additional highly skilled technical, sales and marketing and professional services personnel. Competition for qualified personnel in the enterprise software industry is intense. To the extent we are unable to attract and retain a sufficient number of additional skilled personnel our business will suffer.

Our Aspen platform is a new product and may contain defects or otherwise perform improperly.

     Our Aspen platform was initially released in September 2001, and we anticipate continuing to add new features, functionality and components. Complex enterprise software products frequently contain errors or failures, especially when first introduced or when new versions are released. In the past, we have discovered errors in our products after their initial release. Because the Aspen platform products are complex software packages with new features and functionality being added and new versions being released on a regular basis, there is a greater likelihood that they may contain such errors. In addition, since the Aspen platform is targeted at enterprise customers with large numbers of users, customers and potential customers may have a greater sensitivity to product defects or

19


Table of Contents

product integration than the market for software products generally. To date we have experienced minor errors in the Aspen platform that are typical of a newly released software product. Although these errors have not had a material impact on our business, serious product defects could result in loss of revenue or delay in market acceptance, diversion of development resources, damage to our reputation, or increased service and warranty costs.

Our debt covenants may significantly restrict our operations.

     We are subject to numerous covenants in our agreement with Silicon Valley Bank that impose financial and operating restrictions on our business. These restrictions may affect our ability to operate our business, may limit our ability to take advantage of potential business opportunities as they arise, and may adversely affect the conduct of our current business. These covenants place restrictions on our ability to, among other things:

          incur more debt;
 
          pay dividends, redeem or repurchase our stock or make other distributions;
 
          make acquisitions or investments;
 
          use assets as security in other transactions;
 
          enter into transactions with affiliates;
 
          merge or consolidate with others;
 
          dispose of assets or use asset sale proceeds;
 
          create liens on our assets; and
 
          extend credit.

     In addition, the terms of our indebtedness require that we meet certain financial ratios and tests. The covenants governing our existing indebtedness restrict our operations and those of our subsidiaries, and these limitations could impair our ability to meet such financial ratios and tests. In addition, our ability to meet these ratios and tests and to comply with other provisions governing our indebtedness may be affected by changes in economic or business conditions or other events beyond our control. Moreover, our failure to comply with our debt-related obligations could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, could result in an acceleration of our indebtedness. We are currently in violation of certain of these covenants.

     The bank has waived these violations of the covenants without cost to us, and has indicated that it is willing to amend certain of the covenants so that we are no longer in violation. However, we cannot assure you that the bank will amend these covenants, that we will not violate these or other covenants in the future or that the bank will waive any such future violations at no cost to us, or at all.

If we are unable to build the Click2learn and Aspen brands, we may be unable to grow our business.

     We believe that establishing and maintaining the Click2learn and Aspen brands will be critical to the success of our enterprise learning strategy and that the importance of brand recognition will increase due to the growing number of enterprise learning software products. If our brand building strategy is unsuccessful, these expenses may never be recovered, and our business could be materially harmed.

We may not be able to adapt to rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards.

     The enterprise learning software market is characterized by rapidly changing technologies, frequent new product and service introductions, short development cycles and evolving industry standards. The introduction of new products and services embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards may render our products and services obsolete. Our success depends on our ability to adapt to a rapidly changing landscape and to offer new products and services to address our customers’ changing demands. We may experience difficulties that delay or prevent the successful design, development, introduction or marketing of our products and services. To the extent we in fact experience such delays, we may experience difficulty in attracting new customers and may lose existing ones.

We face the risk of liability for failures to meet unique customer requirements, and the risk of cost overruns on fixed-price projects.

     The failure or inability to meet a customer’s unique expectations or requirements in the performance of services could impair our reputation or result in a claim for damages, regardless of our responsibility for the failure. Although generally we attempt to limit contractually our liability for damages arising from product defects and other mistakes in rendering professional services, these contractual protections are not always obtained and may not be enforced or otherwise may not protect us from liability. Our insurance may not be sufficient to cover any of these claims.

     In addition, many of our professional services projects are performed on a fixed-price basis rather than on a time and materials basis. If we do not accurately predict the costs of these projects, we could incur unexpected costs. If we do not complete fixed-price engagements within budget, on time and to clients’ satisfaction, we bear the risk of cost overruns.

Security and privacy breaches could subject us to litigation and liability.

     We host many of our customers’ enterprise learning software implementations at our data center and provide access to that software using the Internet. The Internet is a public network and data is sent over this network from many sources. Although we take reasonable steps in accordance with current industry practices to ensure the security of our hosting systems and customer data, computer viruses could be introduced into our systems or those of our customers, which could disrupt the operation of our hosting systems or make them inaccessible to users. In addition, well-publicized Internet security breaches could deter customers from using the Internet to conduct transactions that involve the transmission of confidential information. We depend on Internet service providers and telecommunications companies and the efficient operation of their computer networks and other computer equipment to enable customers to access and use hosted software implementations. Each of these has experienced significant outages in the past and could experience outages, delays and other difficulties due to system failures unrelated to our systems.

     We could become subject to litigation and liability if third parties penetrate security for our hosting systems or otherwise misappropriate our users’ confidential information or if customers are unable to access and use hosted software implementations. Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other technological events or developments could result in compromises or breaches of our security systems. Anyone who circumvents our security measures could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions in our services or operations. We may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against the threat of security breaches or service interruptions or to alleviate problems caused by breaches or service interruptions.

International expansion may impose substantial burdens on our resources, divert management’s attention or otherwise harm our business.

     Our current plans for expansion into international markets will require extensive management attention and will require us to rely extensively on third parties in foreign countries to help conduct our international operations and conduct sales and marketing efforts. Our success in international markets consequently will depend to a large degree on the success of these third parties, over which we have little control. If they are unwilling or unable to dedicate sufficient resources to our relationships, our international operations will suffer. Furthermore, our efforts abroad are subject to a number of additional risks inherent in international operations, including:

          difficulties and costs of staffing and managing foreign offices;
 
          different learning styles and cultures;
 
          numerous and potentially conflicting regulatory requirements;
 
          export controls, import tariffs and other barriers to trade;
 
          reduced protection of intellectual property rights;
 
          regional political and economic instability; and
 
          fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

Our intellectual property may become subject to legal challenges, unauthorized use or infringement, any of which could diminish the value of our products and services.

     Our success depends in large part on our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of copyrights, trademarks, trade secret laws, restrictions on disclosure and other methods to protect our proprietary technology. While we have patent applications pending, we do not have issued patents for any of the technology underlying our Aspen platform. If we fail to successfully enforce our intellectual property rights, the value of these rights, and consequently the value of our products and services to our customers, could diminish substantially. It may be possible for third parties to copy or otherwise obtain and use our intellectual property or trade secrets without our authorization, and it may be possible for third parties to independently develop substantially equivalent intellectual property.

     Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. From time to time we have received, and may in the future receive, notice of claims of infringement of other parties’ proprietary rights. Such claims could result in costly litigation and could divert management and technical resources. They could also delay product shipment or require us to develop non-infringing technology or enter into royalty or licensing agreements, which agreements may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all.

Our products include third-party technology, the loss of which could materially harm our business.

     We use some licensed third-party technology components in our products. Future licenses to this technology may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. The loss of or inability to obtain or maintain any of these technology licenses could result in delays in the introduction of new products or could force

22


Table of Contents

us to discontinue offering portions of our enterprise learning solutions until equivalent technology, if available, is identified, licensed and integrated. Furthermore, we may become subject to legal claims related to licensed technology based on product liability, infringement of intellectual property or other legal theories.

Acquisitions or investments may drain capital and equity resources, divert management’s attention or otherwise harm our business.

     In the future we may acquire or make investments in other businesses, products or technologies. Such acquisitions or investments may require that we pay significant cash, issue stock or incur substantial debt. In addition, such acquisitions or investments may require significant managerial attention, which may be diverted from our other operations. These capital, equity and managerial commitments may impair the operation of our business. Furthermore, acquired businesses may not be effectively integrated, may be unable to maintain key pre-acquisition business relationships, may contribute to increased fixed costs and may expose us to unanticipated liabilities.

Our stock price has been and may continue to be volatile.

     The trading price of our common stock has been and is likely to continue to be highly volatile. For example, during the 52-week period ended June 30, 2002, the price of our common stock ranged from $1.50 to $5.05 per share. Our stock price is subject to continued fluctuations in response to a number of factors, including:

          actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;
 
          changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts;
 
          conditions or trends in the e-Learning and enterprise software markets;
 
          announcements by us or our competitors of technological innovations, new products or services;
 
          announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
 
          additions or departures of key personnel;
 
          sales of our common stock; and
 
          general market conditions.

     The stock market in general, and the market for enterprise software and technology companies in particular, recently has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of many of the affected companies. These broad market and industry factors may depress our stock price, regardless of our operating performance.

     In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention, which could seriously harm our business.

Our stock may be delisted from the Nasdaq National Market, which could further decrease our stock price and make it difficult to raise capital.

     Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq National Market. To maintain such listing, we must continue to satisfy ongoing listing requirements, including consistently maintaining a minimum bid price for the common stock of $1.00 per share or more. Our common stock has traded below the $1.00 minimum bid requirement since July 22, 2002. If our common stock were to trade below the $1.00 minimum bid requirement for a period of 30 consecutive business days or more, Nasdaq could initiate delisting procedures and we could spend material financial and managerial resources in our efforts to avoid delisting over the next 90 business days. If we were to be delisted, we would likely seek listing of our common stock in the over-the-counter market, which is viewed by many investors as a less liquid marketplace. Among other things, our common stock may then constitute “penny stock,” which would place increased regulatory burden upon brokers, making them less likely to make a market in our stock. Loss of our Nasdaq National Market status could also make it more difficult for us to raise capital or complete acquisitions.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

     Market Rate Risk. We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

     Interest Rate Risk. We hold our assets primarily in cash and cash equivalents, such as short-term marketable debt securities, money market funds and other cash equivalents. We minimize risk by investing in financial instruments with maturity of three months or less. As a result, if market interest rates were to increase immediately and uniformly by 10% from levels at December 31, 2001, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents would not change by a material amount.

     Foreign Currency Exchange Risk. We have foreign currency risk as a result of foreign subsidiary activities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, international revenues from foreign subsidiaries accounted for approximately 4% of total revenues. All foreign subsidiaries use the local currency as their functional currency.

     Our exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations arises in part from intercompany accounts in which costs

23


Table of Contents

incurred in the United States are charged to the foreign subsidiaries. These intercompany accounts are typically denominated in the functional currency of the foreign subsidiary in order to centralize foreign exchange risk with the parent company in the United States. We are also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the financial results of foreign subsidiaries are translated in U.S. dollars in consolidation. As exchanges rates vary, these results, when translated, may vary from expectations and adversely impact overall expected profitability. The effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 was not material. Due to the substantial volatility of currency exchange rates, among other factors, we cannot predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on our future operating results.
