Overview

      We develop and market software and service solutions that allow our customers to access and leverage their considerable investment in host-based business applications, processes and data.

      Our business is primarily focused on providing a broad spectrum of specific personal computer and network or application server-based software and tools. These products allow our customers to access and use their mission-critical line-of-business host applications and resources; to publish information from existing host systems in a web presentation, particularly to new users, via the Internet; to create new web-based applications that leverage the corporation’s existing business processes and applications; and, to ensure the continued operation of these solutions through the incorporation and deployment of innovative, real-time, Internet-based support solutions.

      Our business is targeted at taking advantage of the trend of major corporations worldwide to adopt Business-to-Business (B2B), or Business-to-Consumer (B2C) initiatives. In this market, we enable our customers to bridge between their existing access systems and technologies (Business-to-Employee, or B2E) and those required to compete in the B2B, and B2C marketplaces. The corporate resources internal to the organization, those behind existing B2E solutions, are generally the system of record for the business and are therefore the basis of any eBusiness transformation for an existing company. Alongside these solutions, we are focused on providing products that allow existing corporate business processes to be extended to business

partners in the supply and demand chains, and products that allow new business processes to be created in support of corporate eBusiness B2B and B2C initiatives. We also focus on taking advantage of major current industry trends: the expansion of the Internet and its adoption as the eCommerce and eBusiness infrastructure; the continued mobilization of personal computer users and the adoption of mobile information access and display devices; and the availability of broader access to corporate data and information for people internal and external to an organization.

      We develop and market these software solutions to allow our customers to access and leverage applications, business processes and data on IBM corporate mainframe computers, and IBM, midrange computers such as AS/400 and on UNIX-based servers. We provide professional support, maintenance, and technical consultancy services to our customers in association with the products we develop and market. We provide professional applications and management consultation to our customers in association with the server-based products we deliver that allow customers to develop and deploy new web-based applications.

      Our principal products are compatible with Microsoft, Windows .NET, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows 98, Windows 95, and Windows 3.x operating systems; IBM mainframe and mid-range host operating systems, Novell, Inc.’s, network operating systems and various implementations of the industry standard UNIX operating system such as IBM’s AIX, Hewlett-Packard Company’s (HP) HP/UX, Sun Microsystems, Inc.’s (Sun) Solaris™, and the open source Linux system.

      Our Host Access products allow the applications and solutions that enable end-user devices, including personal computers, and devices running web browsers, to communicate with large centralized corporate computer systems and the applications that are hosted on them. Our Host Access products are marketed and sold under the brand name of RUMBA for client-side solutions that run on personal computers and under the OnWeb brand for server-side solutions that deliver connectivity for web browser users without the requirement for software on the user’s device other than the browser (collectively known as “zero footprint” solutions). Our Host Integration products provide server-side solutions that allow the integration of multiple host applications and business processes to create new applications for the web. Our Host Integration products also allow our customers to integrate existing legacy applications with new platform solutions such as those built using IBM’s WebSphere, BEA Systems’ (BEA) WebLogic or Microsoft’s .NET. Host Integration products are marketed and sold under the OnWeb brand name. We believe our customers benefit from the fact that the underlying technology employed by our server-side Host Access and server-side Host Integration solutions is the same.

Industry background

      Four important industry trends have had strong influences on our business strategy during the past three years: (1) the rapid adoption of eBusiness and electronic trading approaches by major corporations worldwide and the spread of these approaches to mid-tier and mid-sized companies; (2) the continuing development of the Internet, intranets and extranets for delivery of mission-critical business applications in large and mid-sized companies; (3) an increased desire on the part of corporations to make business processes and information stored in mainframes and midrange computers (legacy systems) broadly accessible internally and externally to their employees and business partners; and (4) the continued mobilization of users of personal computers and the proliferation of wireless and handheld devices requiring corporate host access on a global basis.

      We use the term internetworking to describe the technology of global connectivity. Internetworking had its origins in the Internet, a worldwide network of networks that allows communication between different organizations and locations, each with their own individual network of computers. With the rapid development of the Internet, the breadth of the connectivity industry has quickly expanded beyond proprietary-based solutions to Web-based technologies and other open protocol solutions. The application of this same internetworking technology within a company on its own computer networks is known as an intranet to distinguish it from the larger public Internet. When companies use internetworking technology for connecting to their partners (i.e. outside customers and suppliers) it is known as an extranet. An extranet is a network upon which all users are known and authenticated as opposed to the Internet where the identities of users are

anonymous. Importantly, internetworking is comprised of many different applications which must communicate with one another, each according to its function, and which must follow certain standards or conventions to ensure interoperability.

      The number and variety of applications and services that utilize the internetworking infrastructure is growing rapidly — pushed along by the Internet and corporate eBusiness initiatives. We are focused on several levels of product that utilize the internetworking infrastructure. These include traditional host access products for corporate desktops and servers, which provide users with the ability to communicate with corporate host systems; products that allow organizations to transform legacy applications into systems that can service external users, partners and customers — particularly through the Web; and development platforms that allow organizations to leverage and augment their existing Legacy applications and draw one or more existing applications, and information sources together to create new applications for new internal and external users. In addition to this, we provide products that allow access to and use of existing business processes and transactions for customers using application server development platforms such as IBM’s WebSphere, BEA’s WebLogic™ and Microsoft’s .NET. These products are referred to as “connectors” or “adaptors” and allow legacy applications to be presented as new technologies in formats such as Web Services.

      The personal computer has continued to be an important tool for facilitating communications, information sharing, and group productivity in large companies. As professional workers have become more mobile, there is an accelerated effort to connect personal computers easily and reliably to corporate networks to improve communication and organizational productivity. As a result, the personal computer has become an important tool to connect workers to shared repositories of information and to other people, regardless of location, network or type of computer. Internetworking also facilitates activities such as mobile computing by allowing users to use and to access more effectively all of a company’s computer systems from a remote location within the confines of an organization’s security and access-control policies. As the Internet grows, the number of different communication and internetworking options required by major corporations to support their businesses is increasing. The number and type of mobile computing and communication devices is also increasing and now includes wireless handheld devices, Personal Digital Assistants, or PDAs, and Internet and Web-enabled cellular phones.

      Within organizations, personal computers must connect not only to other personal computers via Local Area Networks, or LANs, but also to workstations, servers, minicomputers and mainframes, many of which may run different operating system software, and are connected to different physical networks. In addition, more companies are seeking ways to link their computer systems directly with those of vendors, customers and other business partners to enhance the flow of information and reduce expenses. This major move, utilizing the Internet as the internetworking solution, is termed eBusiness or eCommerce. eBusiness covers the full migration of business processes to the web and the sharing of those business processes with partners. eCommerce covers the elements that allow electronic selling, trading and transactions on the Web. These two terms are now augmented by specific terms that incorporate the advent of the wireless Internet. eMobile or mCommerce describes the use of a wide range of handheld, mobile and wireless devices as a part of an overall eBusiness or eCommerce solution.

      For a network to function properly, all connected devices must follow rules or protocols that govern access to the network and communication with other devices. Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol, or TCP/IP, is the name of the data communications protocol family that has become the de facto networking standard application because it is an open, or non-proprietary protocol capable of linking disparate environments. We were one of the first software vendors to deliver the TCP/IP protocol and related applications for the Microsoft Windows platform. Selling primarily to the business user, we have promoted standards based on our implementation of TCP/IP that have been adopted by the industry at large. The most notable example is the Windows Sockets, or WinSock, interface, which is used today by a wide range of Windows internetworking software vendors including Microsoft.

      We believe that the open and interoperable characteristics of internetworking technology, the use of intranets and the software that enables them, will continue to grow within organizations. The software required to implement an internetworking solution includes applications for the desktop, the software that transports

information over the wires, the servers at the other end, and management support and development tools to create and administer a network of this type. Additionally, an easy-to-use, intuitive interface can extend the use of these software components to a non-technical audience and facilitates adoption by such an audience.

      Our vision is to provide Host Access and Host Integration products, along with solutions built with those products that greatly improve and extend the reach of existing corporate host-centric systems — regardless of what the end-user devices are and regardless of where the end-user devices are located. As we continue to deliver on our vision, we will support our customers in implementing B2E, B2B, and B2C business solutions. We will support them in the Internet economy, and allow both internal and external users to access and leverage corporate applications, data and information efficiently, and utilize business processes in a manageable, secure and supportable way.

Products and technology

      Our broad suite of products provides organizations with cost-effective solutions for connecting people, their computers and their businesses. Our products extend the functionality of these organizations’ technology investments by providing essential services that are not included in desktop and network operating systems. Our solutions are designed to streamline communication, reduce the total cost of ownership, and increase productivity throughout an organization.

      We have been a long-time proponent of industry standards, and we pursue partnerships and alliances with key industry players. In addition to promoting technological progress, these alliances are designed to help strengthen our market insight and lead to improved customer solutions with greater value. Some of our strategic partners include Microsoft, Intel, IBM, Novell, Dell Computer Corporation and AT&T Corporation. All of our products are developed around the following:

 
• Ease of Use Our goal is to create host-access applications for non-technical users and to provide straightforward tools allowing swift new application development. Our products are designed to be set up on any personal computer or network server in as little as a few minutes. For many corporate users, the cost of training, installation, and support can exceed software acquisition costs. Ease of use can reduce these costs. Moreover, ease of use increases product utilization, thereby enhancing product value to the customer.
 
• Manageability We offer an integrated suite of products and improved network manageability for system administrators. We are focused on providing managed products. The common characteristics of our product suite are intended to increase user satisfaction and product utilization. A well-integrated product can lower the cost of ownership and increase product value to the customer.
 
• Functionality The depth and completeness of the applications in our products are designed to compete with best of class functionality from specialist vendors in each category. Eliminating multi-source product purchases with no compromise on advanced software functionality enhances the value proposition of the product offerings. We believe the economic proposition for the customer is enhanced by purchasing software and service from a single vendor.
 
• Supportability We recognize that our customers need to continually reduce the cost-of-ownership associated with host access and host integration solutions. Unlike our competitors who have focused solely on improved manageability to reduce costs, we have also invested in the development of highly specialized support tools. Our products are designed with well-integrated support tools that are designed to reduce the time required to resolve

5


Table of Contents

software problems, thereby reducing downtime and enhancing the value of our product offerings to customers. We also offer integrated support capabilities in the development tools we deliver with our OnWeb products.
 
• Adherence to Standards The Internet is predicated upon the notion that any client can talk to any server, and that all Application Programming Interfaces, or APIs, and protocols are published as free open standards. In the corporate computing environment, it is impossible to guarantee a common set of software on every client and every server. Our commitment to open standards ensures that the plug-and-play interoperability that has made the Internet successful extends to corporate intranets as well.

      Our products include the RUMBA and OnWeb product families. We also continue to market select UNIX connectivity products under our ViewNow™ brand. Our current products include:

 
RUMBA for the Desktop Connectivity software focused on connecting PCs to IBM mainframe and AS/400 systems and UNIX host systems. RUMBA provides state-of-the-art terminal and printer emulation, file sharing, and file transfer solutions.
 
RUMBA Web-to-Host A browser-based product for fast deployment of host access solutions to any browser supporting ActiveX or Java™. RUMBA Web-to-Host can be deployed from virtually any Web server that can lower total cost of ownership by eliminating the need to configure individual desktops during initial installation and future updates.
 
OnWeb Broad, robust, and highly scalable server-based solutions allowing customers to leverage their existing host applications, host-based information, and host-based business processes into new applications or presentation methods. OnWeb is designed to enable application publishing on the web, the selective combination of information from more than one back-end system resource for web presentation, and the addition of new business process or business logic to augment a company’s existing systems. OnWeb can also present transactions from existing systems as programmatic objects that can be called and used by other server solutions such as those from IBM, BEA and Microsoft. OnWeb has a broad range of back-end connectors allowing access to host applications and services, a powerful optimized development environment called OnWeb Designer, and a range of information publishers allowing presentations such as HTML, WML, XML, COM, and Java Beans.
 
OnWebTI A member of the OnWeb family specially developed as part of an agreement with Microsoft to provide additional host access services to Microsoft’s HIS2000-based development environment. This product expands the capability and applicability of Microsoft’s solutions. OnWebTI can also be utilized to expand the legacy integration capability of Microsoft’s BizTalk eCommerce solution.
 
ViewNow X Server and ViewNow InterDrive NFS Connectivity software allowing PCs to share files with UNIX host systems using Network File System, or NFS, and to access and run X Windows applications on UNIX hosts.

      A significant portion of our net revenues has been derived from the sale of products that provide host access and host integration applications for the Microsoft Windows environment (clients and servers), and are marketed primarily to Windows users. As a result, sales of our products might be negatively impacted by developments adverse to Microsoft’s Windows products. In addition, our strategy of developing products based

6


Table of Contents

on the Windows operating environment is substantially dependent on our ability to gain pre-release access to, and to develop expertise in, current and future Windows developments by Microsoft. We have no agreement with Microsoft giving us pre-release access to future Window products. No assurance can be given as to our ability to provide, on a timely basis, products compatible with future Windows releases. For a summary of net revenues for 2002, 2001, and 2000 for host access and host integration, see Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.

      Some of our newer OnWeb products have been developed to run on the UNIX operating system, including Linux and Solaris and are marketed primarily to the Fortune 1000 companies running UNIX platforms as their servers. As a result, sales of our products might be negatively impacted by developments adverse to the UNIX operating system or developments in the Open Source community based around Linux adverse to our own Linux-based products. In addition, our strategy of developing products based on the UNIX operating environment is substantially dependent on our ability to gain pre-release access to, and to develop expertise in, current and future UNIX developments by Sun, IBM, HP and others. No agreement between a developer of UNIX operating systems and us exists to provide pre-release access to future UNIX products. No assurance can be given as to our ability to provide, on a timely basis, products compatible with future UNIX releases.

      Our competitors could seek to expand their product offerings by designing and selling similar or new technology that could render our products obsolete or adversely affect sales of our products. These developments may adversely affect the sales of our own products either by directly affecting customer-purchasing decisions or by making potential customers delay their purchases of our products. See “Competition” below.

Sales and marketing

      We participate in two primary markets, Host Access and Host Integration. The Host Access market is made up of a range of products that allow IT departments to provide end users access to applications running on IBM Mainframes, iSeries (AS/400), and Unix systems. Three primary technologies are employed to provide the solution; these include traditional Fat Client or Desktop solutions, Thin Client or browser-based solutions, and Zero Footprint or Server-based solutions. Within this market place, we believe the trend is away from Desktop solutions toward Zero Footprint solutions. We believe this movement is primarily driven by a desire to reduce the total cost of ownership associated with deploying these solutions. The Host Integration market is made up of a number of products that allow organizations to reduce costs or increase revenue by allowing customers or business partners to interact via the Internet, with legacy (Mainframe or AS/400) business applications that are the backbone of their business processes. A primary example of this kind of solution is found in call center applications. Companies are building solutions that allow customers to determine order status over the Internet without involving a customer support representative. This approach simultaneously minimizes staffing costs and improves customer service. Our goal is to assist our customers in building solutions that quickly transform host applications into Web-based solutions.

      We have developed products that allow our customers to deploy solutions across a wide range of industries. To date we have installed Host Integration solutions in over 200 companies around the world. Successful installations can be found in government agencies, as well as companies in the finance, health care, manufacturing and insurance industries. Our products are designed to improve business processes throughout these organizations.

      To bring our products to market in the United States, we use a combination of telesales and direct sales personnel specifically assigned to meet the needs of major accounts. As part of our continuing strategy to develop multiple distribution channels, we expect to continue our use of indirect channels, such as resellers, particularly value added resellers and systems integrators, distributors and original equipment manufacturers, both in the United States and internationally. Any material increase in our indirect sales may adversely affect our average selling prices and gross margins due to the lower unit costs that are typically charged when selling through indirect channels. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract or retain resellers and distributors who will be able to market our products effectively or will be qualified to provide timely and cost-

Table of Contents

effective customer support and service. We ship products to resellers and distributors on a purchase order basis, and many of our resellers and distributors carry competing product lines. Therefore, there can be no assurance that any reseller or distributor will continue to effectively sell or represent our products, and the inability to recruit or retain important resellers or distributors could adversely affect our results of operations. See “Factors that may affect our future results and financial condition” under Item 7 below.

      Internationally, we have sales offices in Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Sweden, Israel, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom. We also utilize local distributors and resellers internationally. We support the sales activity of these sales offices and distributors in target countries through localization of products and sales material, local training, and participation in local trade shows.

      In 2002, 2001, and 2000 respectively, we derived approximately 28%, 29%, and 28% of net revenues from sales outside of North America (United States and Canada). We believe that the potential international markets for our products are substantial, based on the extent to which Windows, UNIX and internetworking products are used internationally. Accordingly, we localize many of our products for use in the native language of target countries. We intend to continue to target major European countries for additional sales and marketing activity, and expand our Israel subsidiary in the support of our international sales. For a summary of international operations by geographic area, see Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included herein. While we expect that international sales will continue to account for a significant portion of our net revenues, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain or increase international market demand for our products, or that our international distributors and resellers will be able to effectively meet that demand.

      Risks inherent in our international business activities generally include unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs, and other trade barriers, costs and risks of localizing products for foreign countries, longer accounts receivable payment cycles, weak or unenforced international intellectual property laws, difficulties in managing international operations, currency fluctuations, potentially adverse tax consequences, repatriation of earnings, and the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws. There can be no assurance that such factors will not have an adverse effect on our future international sales, and consequently, on our results of operations.

Customer support

      Our domestic support organization consists of a staff of engineers and other professionals providing support by telephone from our facilities in the State of Washington and Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Both telephone support and regular update releases of our products are provided to customers that purchase an annual or multi-year maintenance agreement. Our sales and customer support organizations work together closely to provide customer satisfaction. International customers are supported by our personnel located in Haifa, Israel, by various international sales offices and by local distributors and resellers who are trained by us.

Research and development

      We believe that our future success will depend on our ability to enhance our existing products and to develop and introduce new products related to host access and host integration solutions, which address the B2B, B2C, and B2E markets. Our research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 were $13.1 million, $18.0 million, and $24.5 million, respectively.

Competition

      The market for our products is intensely competitive and characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, changes in customers’ needs, and frequent new product introductions. To maintain or improve our position in this industry, we must continue to successfully develop, introduce and market new products and product enhancements on a timely and cost-effective basis. Three key factors will contribute to the continued growth of our marketplace: the proliferation of Microsoft Windows client server

8


Table of Contents

technology, the proliferation of the use of the UNIX operating system — particularly the UNIX Open Source version, and the continued implementation of Web-based access to corporate mainframe and midrange computer systems.

      If we fail to anticipate or respond adequately to changes in technology and customer preferences, or experience any significant delay in product development or introduction, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected. The failure to develop on a timely basis new products and product enhancements incorporating new functionality could cause customers to delay purchase of our current products or cause customers to purchase products from our competitors; either of which would adversely affect our results of operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in developing new products or enhancing our existing products on a timely basis, or that such new products or product enhancements will achieve market acceptance.

      We compete directly with providers of Windows internetworking applications, such as IBM, Attachmate Corporation, WRQ, Inc. and Hummingbird Ltd. as well as other major PC connectivity vendors. We also compete with companies such as Jacada Ltd., Seagull Holding NV, IBM, BEA, and Computer Associates International, Inc. in the web integration server markets. It is imperative that our development efforts remain competitive in this marketplace, particularly given that the market is rapidly evolving, and subject to rapid technological change. There is no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to do so.

      Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, sales, marketing, personnel, and other resources, as well as greater name recognition and a larger customer base, than we do. Significant price competition characterizes the market for our products and we anticipate that we will face increasing pricing pressures from competitors in the future. Moreover, given that there are low barriers to entry into the software market, and the market is rapidly evolving and subject to rapid technological change, we believe that competition will persist and intensify in the future. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will be able to provide products that compare favorably with the products of our competitors or that competitive pressures will not require us to reduce our prices. We experienced price declines throughout 2002. Any further material reduction in the price of our products would continue to negatively affect gross margins as a percentage of net revenues, and would require us to further increase software unit sales, in order to maintain net revenues at existing levels.

Proprietary rights

      We rely on a combination of copyright and trademark laws, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures, and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights. However, the basic TCP/IP protocols on which our products are based are non-proprietary, and other companies have developed their own versions. We seek to protect our software, documentation and other written materials under trade secret and copyright laws, which afford only limited protection, and to a lesser extent, patent laws. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of our products is difficult, and while we are unable to determine the extent to which piracy of our software products exists, software piracy can be expected to be a persistent problem. In selling our products, we rely primarily on shrink-wrap or click-wrap licenses that are not signed by licensees, and may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States. There can be no assurance that our means of protecting our proprietary rights will be adequate, or our competitors will not independently develop similar technology. In addition, the number of patents applied for and granted for software inventions is increasing. Consequently, there is a growing risk of third parties asserting patent claims against us. We have received, and may receive in the future, communications from third parties asserting that our products infringe, or may infringe, the proprietary rights of third parties, seeking indemnification against such infringement or indicating that we may be required to obtain a license or royalty from such third parties. There can be no assurance that any such claims would not result in protracted and costly litigation or that additional claims will not be made in the future, or that we will not be required to enter into a costly license agreement.

      We believe that, due to the rapid pace of innovation within our industry, factors such as the technological and creative skills of our personnel are more important to establishing and maintaining a technology leadership position within the industry than are the various legal means of protecting our technology.

Employees

      As of December 31, 2002, we had a total of 350 full-time employees, of whom 168 were engaged in sales, marketing, technical support and consulting, 78 in general management, administration and finance, 93 in software development and engineering and 11 in production. None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement, and we have not experienced any work stoppage.

      On January 30, 2003 we announced a restructuring of NetManage in response to the sluggish North America and European economies. We believe it was necessary to refocus our operations and reduce our operating expenses to bring them in line with our revised anticipated revenue levels. As part of the restructuring, we reduced our workforce by more than 20% and expect to record a restructuring charge under SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, in first quarter of 2003. For further discussion please see Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

      The majority of our workforce is located in the competitive employment markets of the Silicon Valley in California; the suburban Boston area; the suburban Seattle area; Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; and Haifa, Israel. From the latter half of 1996 until recently, we (and prior to their acquisitions, both FTP Software, Inc., or FTP, and Wall Data Incorporated, or Wall Data) experienced high attrition at all levels and across all functions. The attrition experienced by us was attributable to various factors including, among others, industry-wide demand exceeding supply for experienced engineering and sales professionals, the effects of our restructurings and acquisitions, and our results of operations. Our future operating results will be dependent in part on our ability to attract and retain our key employees, and to train and manage our management and employee base. There can be no assurance that we will be able to manage such challenges successfully.

Item 3 — Legal proceedings.

      On November 22, 1999, Kenneth Fisher filed a complaint alleging violations of the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729 et seq., against us, and our affiliates Network Software Associates, Inc. or NSA, and NetSoft Inc., or NetSoft, in the United States District Court of the District of Columbia. We acquired NSA and NetSoft in 1997. The United States government declined to pursue the action on its own behalf and, therefore, the action was pursued by Kenneth Fisher. We, and our affiliates, first learned of the action when we were served with the amended complaint in May 2001. On September 5, 2001, Mr. Fisher agreed to voluntarily dismiss NetManage from this action in exchange for our agreement to suspend applicable statutes of limitation as to Mr. Fisher’s claims.

      On January 31, 2002, on an order of the court following defendant’s successful motion to dismiss the May 2001 amended complaint, Mr. Fisher filed a Second Amended Complaint, or Second Complaint, in the United States District Court of the District of Columbia against NSA and NetSoft among numerous other defendants. On May 13, 2002, on an order of the court following defendants’ successful motion to strike the Second Complaint, Mr. Fisher filed a Third Amended Complaint, or Complaint, in the United States District Court of the District of Columbia against NSA and NetSoft among numerous other defendants. The Complaint alleges that NSA, NetSoft and the other defendants made false claims to the government to obtain government contracts set aside for entities owned and controlled by disadvantaged persons admitted to the Section 8(a) Minority Small Business Development Program. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that from 1987 to 1997, NSA, NetSoft, and the other defendants presented false or fraudulent claims for payment or approval to the government in violation of 31 U.S.C. § 3729 (a) (1), and used false records or statements to get claims paid or approved by the government in violation of 31 U.S.C. § 3729 (a) (2) in connection with NSA’s application and certification as a Section 8 (a) minority owned and controlled company. In addition, the Complaint alleges that NSA, Netsoft and the other defendants conspired to defraud the government by fraudulently obtaining NSA’s certification as a Section 8 (a) entity for alleged use by NSA’s Federal Systems Division, in violation of 31 U.S.C. § 3729 (a) (3). We did not acquire NSA until July 1997 and had no involvement with the events alleged by Mr. Fisher. However, Mr. Fisher alleges that any liabilities of NSA and Netsoft passed to us. Mr. Fisher alleges damages in excess of $30,000,000. On May 31, 2002, NSA and NetSoft and the other defendants answered the complaint and filed a motion to strike the complaint. We, and our affiliates, vigorously dispute Mr. Fisher’s allegations.

      In addition, we may be contingently liable with respect to certain asserted and unasserted claims that arise during the normal course of business.

Overview

      We develop and market software and service solutions that are designed to enable our customers to access and leverage the considerable investment they have in their host-based business applications, processes and data. Our business is primarily focused on providing a broad spectrum of specific personal computer and network or application server-based software and tools. These products are designed to allow our customers to access and use their mission-critical line-of-business host applications and resources; to publish information from existing host systems in a web presentation, particularly to new users, via the Internet; to create new web-based applications that leverage the corporation’s existing business processes and applications; and, to ensure the continued operation of these solutions through the incorporation and deployment of innovative, real-time, Internet-based support solutions. We have operations worldwide with offices located in the United States, Canada, Israel, Europe and Latin America.

      Our software solutions allow our customers to access and leverage applications, business processes and data on International Business Machines, or IBM, corporate mainframe computers, and IBM midrange computers such as the A/S 400™ series and on UNIX based servers. We also develop and market software that is designed to allow real time application sharing on corporate networks and across the Internet for the purposes of application support, help and training. We provide professional support, maintenance, and technical consultation services to our customers in association with the products we develop and market. We provide professional applications and management consultancy to our customers in association with the server-based products we deliver that are designed to allow customers to develop and deploy new web-based applications.

the standalone product SupportNow, is being incorporated into our full line of products and adds value to our Host Access and Host Integration product offerings.
 
      Application of critical accounting policies

      Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from such estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The following summarizes our critical accounting policies used in preparing our consolidated financial statements:

      Revenue Recognition: We derive revenue from primarily two sources: (1) product revenue, which includes software license and royalty revenue, and (2) services and support revenue, which includes software license maintenance and consulting. We license our software products on a one and two-year term basis or on a perpetual basis. Our two-year term based licenses include the first year of maintenance and support. To date, such two-year term licenses have been insignificant. We apply the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, and related amendments and interpretations to all transactions involving the sale of software products and to hardware transactions where the software is not incidental.

      We recognize revenue from the sale of software licenses to end users and resellers when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, the fee is fixed and determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Delivery generally occurs when product is delivered to a common carrier.

      Product is sold without the right of return, except for defective product that may be returned for replacement. To date, such returns have been insignificant. Certain of our sales are made to domestic distributors under agreements allowing rights of return and price protection on unsold merchandise. Accordingly, we defer recognition of such sales until the distributor sells the merchandise. Our international distributors generally do not have return rights and, as such, we generally recognize sales to international distributors upon shipment, provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. We give rebates to customers on a limited basis. These rebates are presented in our Consolidated Statement of Operations as a reduction of revenue.

      At the time of the transaction, we assess whether the fee associated with our revenue transactions 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, we account for the fee as not being fixed and determinable. In these cases, we recognize revenue as the fees become due.

      We assess collectability based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the credit-worthiness of the customer. We do not request collateral from our customers. If we determine that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, we recognize revenue at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash.

      For all sales, except those completed over the Internet, we use either a binding purchase order or signed license agreement as evidence of an arrangement. For sales over the Internet, we use a credit card authorization as evidence of an arrangement. Sales through our distributors are evidenced by a master agreement governing the relationship together with binding purchase orders on a transaction-by-transaction basis.

      For arrangements with multiple elements (for example, undelivered maintenance and support), we allocate revenue to each component of the arrangement using the residual value method based on vendor-

17


Table of Contents

specific objective evidence (VSOE) of the fair value of the undelivered elements. This means that we defer revenue from the arrangement fee equivalent to the fair value of the undelivered elements. Fair values for the ongoing maintenance and support obligations are generally based upon separate sales of renewals to other customers or upon renewal rates quoted in the contracts. Fair value of services, such as training or consulting, is based upon separate sales by us of these services to other customers. Our arrangements do not generally include acceptance clauses. However, if an arrangement includes an acceptance provision, acceptance occurs upon the earlier of receipt of a written customer acceptance or expiration of the acceptance period.

      Service revenues are derived from providing our customers with software updates for existing software products, user documentation and technical support, generally under annual service agreements. These revenues are recognized ratably over the terms of such agreements. If such services are included in the initial licensing fee, the value of the services determined based on VSOE is unbundled and recognized ratably over the related service period. Service revenues derived from consulting and training are deferred and recognized when the services are performed and the collectability is deemed probable. To date, consulting revenue has not been significant.

      Allowance for doubtful accounts, sales returns and rebates: In establishing our sales return and rebate allowance, we must make estimates of potential future product returns related to current period product revenue, including analyzing historical returns, current economic trends, and changes in customer demand and acceptance of our products. We apply a significant number of judgments in connection with assessing the collectability of our accounts receivable. We analyze historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms. Our accounts receivable balance was $18.3 million and $17.8 million, net of our allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.8 million and $2.4 million as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

      If we were to assume that our future product returns were changed to the upper end or lower end of the range we developed in the course of formulating our estimate, the estimate of future returns as of December 31, 2002 would range from $0.1 million to $0.2 million. In each of the years in the three-year period ended 2002, our actual returns have not deviated significantly from our estimates. Our actual product returns for 2002 and 2001 were $0.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively. If we were to change our estimate of future product returns to the high end of the range, there would be no material impact on our liquidity or capital resources. The estimates for returns represented approximately 0.2%, 0.2%, and 0.4% of our gross revenues, or approximately $0.2 million, $0.2 million, and $0.4 million for 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

      In preparing our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002, we estimated rebate reserves for the few distributors who receive rebates. Our rebate reserves for 2002 were $0.1 million. For the year ended December 31, 2001, rebate reserves were insignificant and were included in product returns and not separately recorded.

      Restructuring reserves: We accrue for restructuring costs when we make a commitment to a firm exit plan that specifically identifies all significant actions to be taken in conjunction with our response to a change in our strategic plan, product demand, expense structure or other factors. We reassess our prior restructuring accruals on a quarterly basis to reflect changes in the costs of our restructuring activities, and we record new restructuring accruals as commitments are made. Estimates are based on anticipated costs of such restructuring activities and are subject to change. Our combined restructuring reserves balance was $4.6 million and $2.6 million as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements concerning the adoption of SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities for further discussion of accounting for restructuring activities after December 31, 2002.

      On January 30, 2003 we announced a restructuring of NetManage in response to the sluggish North America and European economies. We believe it was necessary to refocus our operations and reduce our operating expenses to bring them in line with our revised anticipated revenue levels. We anticipate a reduction in our workforce by more than 20% and expect to record a restructuring charge as required by SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, in the first quarter of 2003. For further discussion please see Note 11 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

      Accounting for income taxes: As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves us estimating our actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as deferred revenue, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheet. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase this allowance in a period, we must include an expense within the tax provision in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

      Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2002, we had a net deferred tax asset of approximately $76.6 million, consisting primarily of net operating losses and foreign tax credit carryforwards. Realization of such carryforwards before they expire is dependent on our generating sufficient future taxable income. We recorded a valuation allowance for the entire balance of the net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2002 due to uncertainties related to our ability to utilize the carryforwards before they expire. The valuation allowance is based on our estimates of taxable income by jurisdiction in which we operate and the period over which our deferred tax assets will be recoverable. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates, we will adjust these estimates in future periods.

      Valuation of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill: We believe that the accounting estimate related to asset impairment is a “critical accounting estimate” because: (1) it is highly susceptible to change from period to period as it requires us to make assumptions about future revenues over the life of our software products and services; and (2) the impact that recognizing an impairment has on the assets reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheet and the net loss reported in our Consolidated Statement of Operations could be material.

      Our assumptions about future revenues and sales volumes require significant judgment because actual sales prices and volumes have fluctuated significantly in the past and are expected to continue to do so. In estimating future revenues, we use our sales performance, planned levels of product development, planned new product launches, our internal budgets and industry market estimates of planned market size and growth rates to assist us.

      We assess the impairment of identifiable intangibles, long-lived assets and related goodwill and enterprise level goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable and at a minimum annually. SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets requires that if the sum of the future discounted cash flows expected to result from a company’s individual reporting unit is less than the reported value of the individual reporting unit, an asset impairment charge must be recognized in the financial statements. The amount of the impairment is calculated by subtracting the fair value of the asset from the reported value of the asset. We measure impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in our current business model. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002, we reclassified the net carrying amount of assembled workforce of $224,000 to goodwill and ceased amortization of goodwill.

      Factors we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

  •  significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
 
  •  significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business;
 
  •  significant negative industry or economic trends; and
 
  •  our market capitalization relative to net book value.

      We operate in two markets, Host Access and Host Integration. In the Host Access market, we estimate that our future cash flows will increase substantially over the next few years primarily as a result of reducing costs to bring them in line with comparative cost structures for mature markets. Actual sales have declined

19


Table of Contents

approximately 18% on average over the last two years, and we anticipate further declines as the market continues to mature. In our Host Integration market, we anticipate revenue growth based on a combination of industry growth estimates, new products and enhancements to existing products and greater penetration of our substantial customer base. We also estimate that our expenses will decline faster than the decline in projected net revenues and therefore will decrease as a percentage of net revenues over the next five years.

      We reviewed our Host Access and Host Integration reporting units for impairment at December 31, 2002. The indicated fair value of the goodwill and intangible assets pertaining to our Host Access business was substantially greater than the carrying value, which had been reduced from its original recorded value, in large part due to an impairment charge taken in 2000 against these assets. We anticipate that the overall size of the Host Integration market will not be as large as we initially forecast. As a result we reduced our growth estimate of projected future revenues from this market, which reduced our anticipated discounted cash flows as well. We determined that the fair value of our assets related to the Host Integration market were less than the recorded value of those assets. Consequently, we determined that an asset impairment in the amount of $4.9 million had occurred as of December 31, 2002 and recorded a charge in our Consolidated Statement of Operations in the fourth quarter of 2002. In addition, we recorded an impairment of developed technology of $0.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2002.

     Acquisitions

      We have acquired a number of companies over the last several years. These acquisitions have allowed us to expand our existing customer base, obtain recurring revenue streams derived primarily from existing maintenance contracts, and to acquire intellectual property.

      On June 5, 2000, we completed our acquisition of Aqueduct Software, Inc., or Aqueduct, an early stage web-based application intelligence company. We issued 160,214 shares of NetManage common stock and issued warrants and options to purchase an additional 103,891 shares for all the outstanding stock of Aqueduct. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The warrants and options, none of which were exercised, expired on December 5, 2001.

      On December 29, 1999, we completed our acquisition of Wall Data, a leader in the PC-to-IBM host connectivity market. We acquired all outstanding shares of Wall Data common stock and paid cash to qualifying Wall Data option holders and employee stock purchase plan participants pursuant to a cash tender offer of $9.00 per common share. Total aggregate payments pursuant to the cash tender offer amounted to approximately $94.0 million. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.

      On December 10, 1999, we completed our acquisition of Simware Inc., or Simware, a leading provider of e-commerce solutions and web integration servers. We acquired all outstanding shares of Simware common stock and paid cash to qualifying Simware option holders and employee stock purchase plan participants pursuant to a cash tender offer of $3.75 per common share. Total aggregate payments pursuant to the cash tender offer amounted to approximately $29.2 million. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.

      As described in detail below, under the heading “Factors that may affect our future results and financial condition” acquisitions involve a number of risks, including risks relating to the integration of the acquired company’s operations, personnel, and products. There can be no assurance that the integration of previously acquired companies, or the integration of any future acquisition(s), will be accomplished successfully, and the failure to accomplish effectively any of these integrations could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. As discussed below, we already incurred significant restructuring charges and asset impairment in connection with the acquisitions of Wall Data and Simware.

     Restructurings

      During the past several years, we have undertaken a number of initiatives intended to control costs and reduce operating expenses, including the discontinuance of several low revenue-generating products and the

20


Table of Contents

implementation of worldwide restructurings of our operations as a result of acquisitions and prevailing market conditions.

      In fiscal 2002, we continued to experience a reduction in revenues, which we believe related primarily to the worsening North American and European economies. Customers are postponing or canceling decisions to purchase technology products because of uncertainties within their own businesses. We believed it was necessary to refocus our operations and reduce our operating expenses to bring them more in line with our revised anticipated revenue levels. Consequently, on August 8, 2002, we announced a restructuring of our operations designed to re-align our core business functions and reduce operating expenses. As part of the restructuring, we reduced our workforce by approximately 26% and recorded a $4.6 million charge to operating expenses in the third quarter of 2002. The restructuring charge included approximately $2.6 million of expenses related to facilities no longer needed for company operations, and $2.0 million of employee and other-related expenses for employee terminations. We anticipate that the execution of the restructuring actions will require total cash expenditures of $4.4 million, which is expected to be funded from internal operations and existing cash balances. As of December 31, 2002, we had incurred costs totaling $1.3 million related to the restructuring, which required $1.2 million in cash expenditures, leaving a remaining restructuring liability of approximately $3.3 million.

      In the first six months of 2000, revenues primarily from the Wall Data products, fell short of the level of revenues anticipated prior to the acquisitions. In management’s judgment, this shortfall in the level of revenue was not a temporary condition. As a result, we revisited our strategy to refocus on core competencies, revised our business plan, and our projected future revenues for each family of products. Management believed it was necessary to restructure the Company and reduce operating expenses in line with the revised anticipated level of revenues, which were expected to be less than or comparable to revenues generated during the first half of fiscal 2000. Consequently, we announced a restructuring of operations on August 3, 2000 and reduced our workforce by approximately 17% consisting mostly of engineering and customer support personnel, who were focused primarily on older technologies acquired through the Wall Data and FTP acquisitions. With the reduction in personnel, knowledge levels with respect to certain products and our ability to enhance and expand products acquired from Wall Data and FTP were reduced, thus impacting future expected revenues from these product families. In connection with the restructuring, we also made provisions for reductions in office space, related overhead expenses, and the write-down of certain assets. The total amount of the restructuring charge was $5.6 million, which included approximately $3.0 million of estimated expenses for facilities-related charges, $1.6 million of employee-related expenses for employee terminations, approximately $200,000 in other equipment and professional service costs, and an $800,000 settlement to Verity Inc. for a software license that we no longer planned to use. As of December 31, 2002, we had incurred costs totaling approximately $5.1 million related to the restructuring and recorded a reduction in the original estimate of $0.3 million. The remaining restructuring reserve of approximately $0.2 million is included in accrued liabilities.

      In the fourth quarter of 1999, following the acquisitions of Wall Data and Simware, NetManage initiated a plan to restructure its worldwide operations in connection with the integration of operations of the two acquired companies. In connection with this plan, we recorded a $3.8 million charge to operating expenses in 1999. The restructuring charge includes approximately $1.9 million of estimated expenses for facilities-related charges associated with the consolidation of redundant operations, $1.4 million of employee-related expenses for employee terminations across all functions, and $0.5 million of other miscellaneous expenses. We anticipated that the execution of the restructuring actions would require total cash expenditures of approximately $3.6 million that are expected to be funded from internal operations. As of December 31, 2002, we had made cash payments totaling approximately $3.3 million and recorded a reduction in the original estimate of $0.1 million related to the restructuring, leaving a balance of approximately $0.4 million included in accrued liabilities.

      On January 30, 2003 we announced a restructuring of NetManage in response to the sluggish North America and European economies. We believe it was necessary to refocus our operations and reduce our operating expenses to bring them in line with our revised anticipated revenue levels. We anticipate a reduction in our workforce by more than 20% and expect to record a restructuring charge as required by SFAS No. 146,

      As described in detail below, under the heading “Factors that may affect our future results and financial condition”, the successful combination of companies requires coordination of sales and marketing with research and development efforts, and can be difficult to accomplish. The integration of companies we have acquired has involved geographically separated organizations, and personnel with diverse business backgrounds and corporate cultures. We believe that factors such as the ongoing attention and dedication of management and resources required to affect the complete integration of acquired companies, and the consequent disruption in the business of all parties involved, may contribute to interruptions and loss momentum in our business activities. Our ability to maintain or increase revenues from the sale of products from companies we have acquired on an ongoing basis depends in part on our ability to effectively respond to these factors.

     Other intangible assets impairment

      In 2000, based on our analysis of revised product directions, revenue forecasts and undiscounted future cash flows, taking into account the estimated impact on product development and customer support resulting from the reductions in personnel, we determined that there was a permanent impairment of the long-lived assets related to the acquisitions of Wall Data and FTP. As a result, we wrote off $39.8 million consisting of $30.9 million of goodwill and $8.9 million of other intangibles, through a charge to operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2000.

      In 2002, based on our analysis of revised product directions, revenue forecasts and undiscounted future cash flows, taking into account the estimated impact on product development and customer support resulting from the reductions in personnel, we determined that there was a permanent impairment of the developed technology related to the acquisition of Aqueduct Software, Inc. As a result, we wrote off $0.7 million of developed technology through a charge to operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002. We also determined that there was a permanent impairment in the goodwill arising on the acquisition of Simware, and we wrote off $4.9 million through a charge to operations in the fourth quarter of 2002.

     Reverse stock split

      On August 28, 2002, our stockholders approved a one-for-seven reverse stock split of our common stock for stockholders of record on July 15, 2002, which became effective at the close of business on September 3, 2002.

     Stock repurchase program

      Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase from time to time of up to 2,142,857 shares of our common stock through open market purchases. During 2002, we purchased 616,401 shares of our common stock on the open market at an average purchase price of $3.83 per share for a total cost of approximately $2.4 million. Cumulatively, as of December 31, 2002, we had repurchased 2,004,917 shares of our common stock at an average price of $10.29 per share for a total cost of approximately $20.6 million.

     Net revenues

      Historically, a majority of our net revenues have been derived from software license fees. Service revenues have been primarily attributable to maintenance agreements associated with product licenses.

23


Table of Contents

      License fees and service revenues decreased 17% during the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001. This decrease resulted from customer decisions to cancel or postpone purchases of our products, due to the slowing North American (including Latin America), and European economies, and pressures on our average selling prices. We experienced a decrease in incoming orders for 2002 that began in the first quarter and continued through the third quarter. Incoming orders increased in the fourth quarter of 2002. This trend was identical to the trend experienced in 2001. Because we generally ship software products within a short period after receipt of an order, we do not have a material backlog of unfilled orders. Host Access revenues in 2002 declined approximately 17% from 2001 with declines in both license revenues and service revenues across all geographic territories. Host Integration revenues in 2002 declined approximately 25% from 2001 primarily because of a decline in consulting revenues, offset in part by a 55% growth in Host Integration license revenues and a 5% increase in maintenance revenues. Service revenues increased as a percentage of total revenues to just over 52% due to the larger percentage decline in license revenues in 2002.

      We have operations worldwide, with sales offices located in the United States, Europe, Canada, Latin America, and Israel. Revenues outside of North America (United States and Canada) as a percentage of total net revenues were approximately 28% and 29% for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001.

      No customer accounted for more than 10% of net revenues during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001.

     Gross margin

      Cost of revenues — License fees primarily include costs associated with order processing, product packaging, documentation and software duplication, the amortization and write-down of acquired technology, and royalties paid to third parties for licensed software incorporated into our products.

      Cost of revenues — Services include costs associated with both consulting and customer support, and consist primarily of salaries and commissions, benefits, travel, and occupancy expenses.

      Gross margin decreased in absolute dollars for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the year ended 2001, primarily because of the decline in net revenues of 17%, offset in part by cost reductions associated with the reduction in headcount of 23 full time employees and to more cost effective software procurement and distribution initiatives.

      Gross margin as a percentage of net revenues increased 1.5% in 2002 as compared to 2001 and may fluctuate in the future due to increased price competition, the mix of distribution channels used by us, the mix of license fee revenues versus service revenues, the mix of products sold, and the mix of international versus domestic revenues.

     Research and development

      Research and development, or R & D, expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits, occupancy and travel expenses, and fees paid to outside consultants. R & D expenses decreased, in absolute dollars and as a percentage of net revenues for 2002 as compared to 2001, primarily as a result of the reduction in headcount of 32 full time employees for research and development activities in our Host Access product line.

      Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed, under which we are required to capitalize software development costs after technological feasibility is established which we define as a working model and further define as a beta version of the software. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs requires considerable judgment by us with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, anticipated future gross product revenue, estimated economic life, and changes in technology. Costs that do not qualify for capitalization are charged to R&D expense when incurred. We did not capitalize any software development costs in 2002.

Table of Contents

     Sales and marketing

      Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and commissions of sales, and marketing personnel, advertising and promotional expenses, occupancy and related costs. Sales and marketing expenses decreased in absolute dollars and as a percentage of net revenues for the year 2002, as compared to the year 2001, primarily as a result of lower sales levels, the reduction in sales and sales support staff by 50 full time employees as part of our ongoing cost reduction efforts, and to a lesser extent, actions as a result of our restructuring in August 2002.

     General and administrative

      General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, accounting, travel, legal, and occupancy expenses. General and administrative expenses increased in absolute dollars and as a percentage of net revenues for 2002 as compared to 2001 primarily as a result of higher professional fees related to the re-audit of our 2000 and 2001 fiscal years and for various litigation matters in which NetManage is involved. The increase in costs was partially offset as a result of the reduction in staff of 13 full time employees.

     Restructuring charges

      In fiscal 2002, we continued to experience a reduction in revenues, which we believe relates primarily to the worsening North American and European economies. Customers are postponing or canceling decisions to purchase technology products because of uncertainties within their own businesses. We believed it was necessary to refocus our operations and reduce our operating expenses to bring them more in line with our revised anticipated revenue levels, which we expect to be comparable or less than those of the previous year. Consequently, on August 8, 2002, we announced a restructuring of our operations designed to re-align our core business functions and reduce operating expenses. As part of the restructuring, we reduced our workforce by approximately 26% and recorded a $4.6 million charge to operating expenses in the third quarter of 2002. The restructuring charge included approximately $2.6 million of expenses related to facilities no longer needed for company operations, and $2.0 million of employee and other-related expenses for employee terminations. We anticipate that the execution of the restructuring actions will require total cash expenditures of $4.4 million, which is expected to be funded from internal operations and existing cash balances. As of December 31, 2002, we had incurred costs totaling $1.3 million related to the restructuring, which required $1.2 million in cash expenditures. The remaining restructuring liability of approximately $3.3 million is included in accrued liabilities at December 31, 2002.

      An additional charge of $0.1 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2002 as a result of changes in estimates in restructuring charges originally recorded in prior years (See Note 4 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

      In the fourth quarter of 2002, based on our analysis of revised product directions, revenue forecasts and future cash flows, taking into account the estimated impact on product development and customer support resulting from the reductions in personnel, we determined that there was a permanent impairment of the long-lived assets related to the acquisitions of Simware and Aqueduct. We re-evaluated the fair value of these long-lived assets and intangibles using primarily the estimated discounted cash flows method. We used the same methodology to evaluate the fair value of our long-lived assets and intangibles to allocate purchase price at the time of acquisition. As a result, we wrote off $5.6 million of goodwill and intangible assets, consisting of $4.9 million of goodwill and $0.7 million of other intangibles, through a charge to operations.

     Amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets

      On January 1, 2002, NetManage implemented SFAS No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets that requires that goodwill no longer be amortized. In 2002, no goodwill and $3.1 million of other intangibles were amortized. In 2001, approximately $2.9 million of goodwill and $3.1 million of other intangibles were

amortized. Amortization of other intangibles is recorded on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of five years.

     Loss on investments, net

      In the third quarter of 2002, we determined that our investment in easyBASE Ltd. and fusionOne, Inc. was permanently impaired, as a result of continued weakness in the software development industry and our analysis of data provided to us by both companies. In the past, we have invested in a number of companies that have developed technologies that we felt had related use with our products, and had significant opportunity in their own markets. In large part as a result of the current economy, we have determined that these investments in easyBASE and fusionOne were permanently impaired and wrote them down by $1.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively, to expected realizable values. In addition, we realized a loss of approximately $759,000 on our investment in Kana Software, Inc.. In the fourth quarter of 2002, as a result of our determination of further deterioration in their business outlook, we wrote off a bridge loan to easyBASE in the amount of $275,000 that we believe will not be collectible. As a result, we recorded an aggregate loss on investments of approximately $2.8 million in 2002.

     Interest income and other, net

      The decrease in interest income and other, net for 2002 as compared to 2001, is primarily the result of the reduction in the cash accounts from $33.0 million to $24.0 million and the lower money market interest rates in 2002. As well, in 2001 we received approximately $1.4 million in interest income related to income tax refunds of approximately $9.3 million. No such tax refunds and interest were received in 2002.

     Foreign currency transaction losses

      We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk inherent in our sales commitments, anticipated sales, anticipated purchases and assets and liabilities in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We transact business in approximately ten foreign currencies worldwide, of which the most significant to our operations are the euro, the Canadian dollar, the Israeli shekel, and the British pound. For most currencies, we are the net receiver of foreign currencies and therefore benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar relative to those foreign currencies in which we transact significant amounts of business. In 2002, we recorded an increase in foreign currency transaction losses of $1.1 million as compared to 2001 resulting primarily from fluctuations in the Israeli Shekel.

     Provision for income taxes

      We recorded a provision for income taxes for the year-ended December 31, 2002 of approximately $1.1 million, which consisted primarily of foreign income taxes, net of state income tax benefits. Our effective tax rate for 2002 is less than 1%, due to our current consolidated loss position.

      As of December 31, 2002, we had a gross deferred tax asset of approximately $76.6 million. Realization of the gross deferred tax asset is dependent on our generating sufficient future taxable income. Currently, we believe that it is likely the gross deferred tax asset may not be realized and, therefore, we have fully reserved the gross deferred tax asset. The amount of the gross net deferred tax asset, however, could be adjusted in the near term if actual future taxable income differs from estimated amounts.

     Net revenues

      License fees and service revenues decreased 23% during the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2000. This decrease resulted from customer decisions to cancel or postpone purchases of our products, due to the slowing North American (including Latin America) economy, pressures on our average selling prices, and the tragic events of September 11, 2001. We experienced a reduction in incoming orders that began the last half of 2000 through the third quarter of 2001 and incoming orders did not begin to increase until the fourth quarter of 2001. The slowdown in the economy, as well as the trauma associated with the September 11, 2001 events, had a major influence on our customer willingness to place new orders for our products. We experienced significant revenue reduction in each of the quarters compared to the same quarter of the previous year. In some cases, the customers chose to reduce the number of desktop units at the time of annual maintenance renewal to reflect the reduction-in-force at their facility, or they continued to push out their buying decision due to budget constraints. The revenue reduction occurred both domestically and internationally. Service revenues increased as a percentage of net revenues to just over 50% of our total net revenues due to the proportionally larger decline in license revenues.

      Revenues outside of North America (United States, Latin America, and Canada) as a percentage of total net revenues were approximately 29% and 28% for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. No customer accounted for more than 10% of net revenues during the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000.

     Gross margin

      Gross margin decreased in absolute dollars but increased to approximately 85% as a percentage of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to the year ended 2000. This resulted primarily from an improvement in the gross margin on services due to ongoing cost reduction efforts.

     Research and development

      Research and development, expenses decreased, in absolute dollars and as a percentage of net revenues for 2001 as compared to 2000, primarily as a result of the reduction in headcount by 55 full time employees for research and development activities.

     Sales and marketing

      Sales and marketing expenses decreased in absolute dollars and as a percentage of net revenues for the year 2001, as compared to the year 2000, primarily as a result of lower sales levels, the reduction in sales and support staff of 114 full time employees as part of the ongoing cost reduction efforts, and to a lesser extent, actions as a result of our restructuring in August 2000.

     General and administrative

      General and administrative expenses decreased in absolute dollars and as a percentage of net revenues for 2001 as compared to 2000. The $6.4 million reduction in expenses resulted primarily from a reduction in facilities related costs and personnel reduction efforts including the reduction in staff of 13 full time employees.

     Insurance recovery

      During the year ended December 31, 2000, we received a cash payment of $3.8 million from our insurance companies as a reimbursement of amounts paid for legal fees and expenses by us in prior years in connection with the settlement of certain litigation. No such reimbursements were received in 2001.

     Write-off of in-process research and development

      In connection with the acquisition of Aqueduct in the second quarter of 2000, we allocated $1.7 million of the purchase price to in-process research and development projects. This allocation represents the estimated

28


Table of Contents

fair value based on risk-adjusted cash flows related to the incomplete projects. At the date of acquisition, the development of these projects had not yet reached technological feasibility, and the research and development in progress had no alternative future uses. Accordingly, these costs were expensed as of the acquisition date.

      The nature of the efforts to develop the acquired in-process technology into commercially viable products principally relate to the completion of all planning, designing, coding, and testing activities that are necessary to establish that the products can be produced to meet our design requirements, including functions, features, and technical and economic performance requirements (See Note 3 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

     Restructuring charges

      On August 3, 2000, we announced a restructuring of our operations designed to re-focus our core business functions and reduce operating expenses. In connection with the restructuring, we reduced our workforce by approximately 17% and made provisions for reductions in office space, related overhead expenses, and the write-down of certain assets. The total amount of the restructuring charge was $5.6 million, which primarily consisted of approximately $3.0 million of estimated expenses for facilities-related charges, $1.6 million of employee-related expenses for employee terminations and an $800,000 settlement to Verity, Inc. for a software license that we did not plan to use and accordingly wrote-off (See Note 4 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

     Goodwill and other intangible assets impairment

      In connection with the restructuring announced on August 3, 2000 (See Notes 2 and 4 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), we performed an evaluation in accordance with SFAS No. 121 of the recoverability of all goodwill and other intangibles assets. We concluded from the results of this evaluation that a significant, permanent impairment of goodwill and other intangibles had occurred. As a consequence, we wrote off $39.8 million of goodwill and other intangibles through a charge to operations in August 2000.

     Amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets

      Amortization of goodwill and intangibles decreased in 2001, compared to 2000, as a result of the goodwill impairment charge of $39.8 million taken in the third quarter of 2000 and the goodwill and intangible assets adjustment to reverse $9.7 million of overestimated liabilities assumed in the Wall Data acquisition, recorded in the fourth quarter of 2000.

     Gain (loss) on investments, net

      In December 2000, ServiceSoft, Inc., one of our investments, was acquired by Broadbase, a publicly traded company. As a result, we received shares of Broadbase common stock in exchange for our minority interest in ServiceSoft, Inc., and recognized a gain of approximately $2.2 million on our original investment. The shares of Broadbase common stock owned by us were classified as available-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2000. On June 29, 2001, Broadbase merged with KANA Software, Inc. (KANA), a publicly traded company. For the year ended December 31, 2001, we recognized a loss on our holdings of KANA, of approximately $1.8 million based on adjusting our holdings in KANA to the fair market value at December 31, 2001. (See Note 10 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

     Interest income and other, net

      The small decrease in interest income and other, net for 2001 as compared to 2000 resulted primarily from the reduction in interest rates and reduction of our cash balances. Interest income and other, net in 2001 includes $1.4 million of interest income related to the $9.3 million of income tax refunds received during the year.

      There was a reduction in interest expense and an increase in transaction losses for the 2001 year of approximately $31,000 and $57,000, respectively. In December 2001, we recorded as income a previously

29


Table of Contents

unrecognized gain of $221,000 on marketable securities. This gain was offset by a $133,000 loss on marketable securities from the Wall Data acquisition in 1999.

     Foreign currency transaction losses

      We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk inherent in our sales commitments, anticipated sales, anticipated purchases and assets and liabilities in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We transact business in approximately ten foreign currencies worldwide, of which the most significant to our operations are the euro, the Canadian dollar, the Israeli shekel, and the British pound. For most currencies, we are the net receiver of foreign currencies and therefore benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar relative to those foreign currencies in which we transact significant amounts of business. In 2001 there was no significant change in foreign currency transaction losses as compared to 2000.

 
      Provision for income taxes

      We recorded a provision for income taxes for the year-ended December 31, 2001 of approximately $0.7 million, which consisted primarily of foreign income taxes. Our effective tax rate for 2001 was less than 1% and this was due to our consolidated loss position. Income taxes primarily include international withholding taxes and state taxes.

      As of December 31, 2001, we had a gross deferred tax asset of approximately $63.4 million. Realization of the gross deferred tax asset was dependent on our generating sufficient future taxable income. We believed that it was likely the gross deferred tax asset would not be realized and, therefore, we fully reserved the gross deferred tax asset. The amount of the gross net deferred tax asset, however, could be adjusted in the future if actual future taxable income differs from estimated amounts.

Disclosures about market risk

 
      Interest rate risk

      Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio. We place our investments with high credit quality issuers and, by policy, limit our amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. As stated in our policy, we are averse to principal loss, and seek to preserve our invested funds by limiting default risk, liquidity risk, and territory risk.

      We mitigate default and liquidity risks by investing only in safe and high credit quality securities, and by positioning our portfolio to respond appropriately to a significant reduction in a credit rating of any investment issuer or guarantor. The portfolio includes only marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity. We mitigate territory risk by only allowing up to 25% of the portfolio to be placed outside of the United States.

      The table below presents the carrying value, market value and related weighted average interest rates for our cash and interest-bearing investment portfolio as of December 31, 2002. All investments mature, by policy, in four years or less.

      Since our inception, our operations have been financed primarily through cash provided by operations and sales of capital stock. Our primary financing activities to date consist of our initial and secondary public stock offerings and private preferred stock issuances, which aggregated net proceeds to us of approximately $72.5 million. We do not have a bank line of credit. The domestic and international economic events described elsewhere in this Annual Report, have negatively impacted our ability to generate sufficient cash to offset our cash outflows. We have taken a number of measures to reverse this trend through restructuring our organization, reducing our operating expenses through the closing of excess facilities, subleasing excess facility space, and carefully monitoring our discretionary expenses. We are committed to bring our expenses in line with our anticipated revenues and on January 30, 2003 announced more restructuring of our organization. It is the intent of management in 2003 to change our organization to be a net provider of cash. Our business has been and will be dependent upon the spending of our customers in their respective IT organizations. No guarantees can be made as to when and how our products will be received in the future under these uncertain economic times.

      During the year ended December 31, 2002, our aggregate cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments decreased from $33.0 million to $24.0 million. This decrease was due primarily to our net cash used in operating activities of $6.2 million, our repurchase of our common stock in the open market under the repurchase program described below, and equipment purchases. Our principal investing activities to date have been the purchase of short-term and long-term investments, business acquisitions, and equipment purchases. We do not have any specific commitments with regard to future capital expenditures. Net cash used in financing activities in 2001 reflects the issuance of shares under our employee stock purchase plan and stock option plans net of the repurchase of our common stock, from time to time, through open market purchases. For the year ended December 31, 2001, we received $9.3 million in tax refunds including interest of $1.4 million

      At December 31, 2002, we had working capital of $9.8 million. We believe that our current cash balances and future operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements beyond one year.

      Our Board has authorized the repurchase from time to time of up to 2,142,857 shares of our common stock through open market purchases. In October 2001, the Board authorized the repurchase of 857,143 shares of our common stock on the open market from time-to-time. During 2002, we repurchased 616,401 shares of our common stock for $2.4 million on the open market at the average price of $3.83 per share. During 2001, we repurchased 337,221 shares of our common stock on the open market at an average

purchase price of $5.49 per share for a total cost of approximately $1.9 million. During 2000, we repurchased 143,538 shares of our common stock on the open market at an average purchase price of $5.95 per share for a total cost of approximately $0.9 million. Cumulatively, as of December 31, 2002, we had repurchased 2,004,917 shares of our common stock at an average price of $10.29 per share for a total cost of approximately $20.6 million.

Factors that may affect our future results and financial condition

      Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. You should carefully consider the risks described below, in addition to the other information contained in this Report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business operations. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be seriously harmed. In that event, the market price for our common stock could decline and you may lose part or all of your investment.

 
      Our operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and may continue to do so in the future, which could cause our stock price to decline.

      We have experienced, and expect to experience in future periods, significant fluctuations in operating results that may be caused by many factors including, among others:

  •  general economic conditions, in particular, the recent slowdown of purchases of information technology due to current economic conditions in North America and internationally;
 
  •  changes in the demand for our products;
 
  •  introduction or enhancements to our products and those of our competitors;
 
  •  technological changes in computer networking;
 
  •  competitive pricing pressures;
 
  •  market acceptance of new products;
 
  •  customer order deferrals in anticipation of new products and product enhancements;
 
  •  the size and timing of individual product orders;
 
  •  mix of international and domestic revenues;
 
  •  mix of distribution channels through which our products are sold;
 
  •  loss of, or failure to enter into, strategic alliances to develop or promote our products;
 
  •  quality control of our products;
 
  •  changes in our operating expenses;
 
  •  personnel changes;
 
  •  foreign currency exchange rates;

32


Table of Contents

  •  seasonality; and
 
  •  adverse business conditions in specific industries.

      In addition, our acquisition of complementary businesses, products or technologies has in the past caused and may continue to cause fluctuations in our operating results due to in-process research and development charges, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, and integration costs such as those recorded in connection with the acquisitions of FTP, Wall Data, Simware, and Aqueduct.

      Since we generally ship software products within a short period after receipt of an order, we do not typically have a material backlog of unfilled orders, and our revenues in any one quarter are substantially dependent on orders booked in that quarter and particularly in the last month of that quarter. Our expenses are based in part on our expectations as to future revenues and to a large extent are fixed. Therefore, we may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. Accordingly, any significant shortfall in demand for our products in relation to our expectations or any material delay of customer orders would have an almost immediate adverse impact on our operating results and on our ability to achieve profitability.

      As a result, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indications of future performance. Fluctuations in our operating results have caused, and may in the future cause us to perform below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. If our operating results fall below market expectations, the price of our common stock may fall.

 
      We have not been profitable since 1995 and may never achieve profitability.

      We had a net loss from operations of approximately $22.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. We have not achieved profitability on an annual basis since 1995 and we may never obtain sufficient revenues to sustain profitability in any future period. In addition, if we are profitable, we cannot be certain that we can increase profitability, particularly to the extent that we face price competition. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues to attain profitability. Increasing competition and the declining worldwide economy are likely to cause our prices to decline, which would harm our operating results. We expect our prices for our software products to decline over the next few years. We expect to face increased competition in markets where we sell our products, which will make it more difficult to increase or maintain our prices and profit margins. If anticipated increases in sales volume do not keep pace with anticipated pricing pressures, our revenues would decline and our business could be harmed. Despite our efforts to introduce enhancements to our products, we may not be successful in maintaining our pricing.

 
      We rely significantly on third parties for sales of our products and our revenues could decline significantly with little or no notice.

      We rely significantly on our independent distributors, systems integrators, and value-added resellers for certain elements of the marketing and distribution of our products. The agreements in place with these organizations are generally non-exclusive, of limited duration, are terminable with little or no notice by either party and generally do not contain minimum purchase requirements. These distributors of our products are not within our control and generally represent competing product lines of other companies in addition to our products. There can be no assurance that these organizations will give a high priority to the marketing of our products, and they may give a higher priority to the products of our competitors.

      Furthermore, our results of operations can also be materially adversely affected by changes in the inventory strategies of our resellers, which can occur rapidly and may not be related to end-user demand. As part of our continued strategy of selling through multiple distribution channels, we expect to continue using indirect distribution channels, particularly value-added resellers and system integrators, in addition to distributors and original equipment manufacturers. Indirect sales may grow as a percentage of both domestic and total net revenues during 2003 and beyond, as a result of acquisitions or increased market penetration. Any material increase in our indirect sales as a percentage of revenues may adversely affect our average selling

Table of Contents

prices and gross margins due to lower unit costs that are typically charged when selling through indirect channels. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract or retain resellers and distributors who will be able to market our products effectively, will be qualified to provide timely and cost-effective customer support and service, or will continue to represent our products. If we are unable to recruit or retain important resellers or distributors or if they decrease their sales of our products, we may suffer a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
      Our acquisitions may have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

      We consummated several merger and acquisition transactions, including the acquisitions of Wall Data and Simware in the fourth quarter of 1999, and the acquisition of Aqueduct in the second quarter of 2000. These acquisitions were motivated by various factors, including the desire to obtain new technologies, expand and enhance our product offerings, expand our customer base, attract key personnel, and strengthen our presence in the international and OEM marketplaces. Product and technology acquisitions entail numerous risks, including:

  •  the diversion of management’s attention away from day-to-day operations;
 
  •  difficulties in the assimilation of acquired operations and personnel, such as sales, engineering, and customer support;
 
  •  the integration of acquired products with existing product lines;
 
  •  the failure to realize anticipated benefits of cost savings and synergies;
 
  •  the loss of customers;
 
  •  undisclosed liabilities;
 
  •  adverse effects on reported operating results;
 
  •  the amortization of acquired intangible assets;
 
  •  the loss of key employees;
 
  •  the difficulty of presenting a unified corporate image;
 
  •  in 2001 and 2002, our operating results have been materially lowered by write-downs of our goodwill we have taken in connection with our past acquisitions. We cannot assume we will have to take similar write-downs in future periods.

 
      We have undergone significant restructurings, which may have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

      In early December 1999, following our acquisitions of Wall Data and Simware, we initiated a plan to restructure our worldwide operations in order to integrate the operations of these companies. We undertook further restructurings of our operations in August 2000, and again in August 2002. These restructuring plans involved reductions in our worldwide workforce and the consolidation of certain of our sales, customer support, and research and development operations. We have also had to write-down assets acquired in these acquisitions, which has lowered our operating results. These restructuring plans may not be successful and may not improve future operating results. Completion of the restructuring plans may disrupt our operations and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. On January 30, 2003, we announced further restructuring of our organization. See Note 11 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more discussion under subsequent events. We may also be required to implement additional restructuring plans in the future.

      The successful combination of companies requires coordination of sales and marketing with research and development efforts, and can be difficult to accomplish. The integration of both Wall Data and Simware involved geographically separated organizations (in suburban Seattle, Washington; suburban Boston, Massachusetts; Cupertino and Irvine, California; Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; and Haifa, Israel), and personnel with

34


Table of Contents

diverse business backgrounds and corporate cultures. We believed that factors such as the ongoing attention and dedication of management and resources required to effect the complete integration of both Wall Data and Simware, and the consequent disruption in the business of all parties involved, contributed to interruptions and loss of momentum in our business activities. Our ability to maintain or increase revenues from the sale of products from Wall Data and Simware on an ongoing basis depends in part on our ability to effectively respond to these factors.
 
      We may not be able to successfully make acquisitions of or investments in other companies or technologies.

      We have very limited experience in acquiring or making investments in companies, technologies or services. We regularly evaluate product and technology acquisition opportunities and anticipate that we may make additional acquisitions in the future if we determine that an acquisition would further our corporate strategy. Acquisitions in our industry are particularly difficult to assess because of the rapidly changing technological standards in our industry. If we make any acquisitions, we will be required to assimilate the personnel, operations and products of the acquired business and train, retain and motivate key personnel from the acquired business. However, the key personnel of the acquired business may decide not to work for us. Moreover, if the operations of an acquired company or business do not meet our expectations, we may be required to restructure the acquired business, or write-off the value of some or all of the assets of the acquired business. No assurance can be given that any acquisition by us will or will not occur, that if an acquisition does occur, that it will not materially and adversely affect us, or that any such acquisition will be successful in enhancing our business.

 
      We are dependent upon our key management for our future success, and few of our managers are obligated to stay with us.

      Our success depends on the efforts and abilities of our senior management and certain other key personnel. Many of our key employees are employed on an at-will basis. If any of our key employees left or were unable to work and we were unable to find a suitable replacement, then our business, financial condition and results from operations could be materially harmed.

 
      We face significant competition and competition in our market is likely to increase and could harm our business.

      The market for our products is intensely competitive and characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, price erosion, changes in customers’ needs, and frequent new product introductions. We anticipate continued growth and competition in our industry and the entrance of new competitors into our market, and accordingly, the market for our products will remain intensely competitive. We expect that competition will increase in the near term and that our primary long-term competitors may not yet have entered the market. Several key factors contribute to the continued growth of our marketplace including the proliferation of Microsoft Windows client server technology, and the continued implementation of web-based access to corporate mainframe and midrange computer systems. Our connectivity software products compete with major computer and communication systems vendors, including Microsoft, IBM, and Sun Microsystems, Inc., as well as smaller networking software companies such as Jacada Ltd., Seagull Holding HV, and Hummingbird Ltd. We also face competition from makers of terminal emulation software such as Attachmate Corporation, and WRQ, Inc.

      Many of our current competitors have, and many of our future competitors may have, substantially greater financial, technical, sales, marketing and other resources, in addition to greater name recognition and a larger customer base than us. The market for our products is characterized by significant price competition and we anticipate that we will face increasing pricing pressures from our competitors in the future. In addition, our current and future competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements than we can. Increased competition could result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced gross profit margins and loss of market share, any of which could harm our business.

35


Table of Contents

      Furthermore, our competitors could seek to expand their product offerings by designing and selling products using technology that could render obsolete or adversely affect sales of our products. These developments may adversely affect sales of our products either by directly affecting customer-purchasing decisions or by causing potential customers to delay their purchases of our products. Several of our competitors have developed proprietary networking applications and certain of such vendors, including Novell, provide a TCP/IP protocol suite in their products at little or no additional cost. In particular, Microsoft has embedded a TCP/IP protocol suite in its Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows NT, Windows XP, and Windows.NET operating systems. We have products, which are similar to connectivity products marketed by Microsoft. Microsoft is expected to increase development of such products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 
If we fail to manage technological change, respond to consumer demands or evolving industry standards or if we fail to enhance our products’ interoperability with the products of our customers, demand for our products will decrease and our business will suffer.

      From time to time many of our customers have delayed purchase decisions due to confusion in the marketplace relating to rapidly changing technology and product introductions. To maintain or improve our position in this industry, we must successfully develop, introduce, and market new products and product enhancements on a timely and cost-effective basis. We have experienced difficulty from time to time in developing and introducing new products and enhancing existing products, in a manner which satisfies customer requirements and changing market demands. Any failure by us to anticipate or respond adequately to changes in technology and customer preferences, or any significant delays in product development or introduction, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The failure to develop products or product enhancements incorporating new functionality on a timely basis could cause customers to delay purchase of our current products or cause customers to purchase products from our competitors; either situation would adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We may not be successful in developing new products or enhancing our existing products on a timely basis, and any new products or product enhancements developed by us may not achieve market acceptance. In addition, we incorporate software and other technologies owned by third parties and as a result, we are dependent upon such third parties’ ability to enhance their current products, to develop new products that will meet changing customer needs on a timely and cost-effective basis, and to respond to emerging industry standards and other technological changes.

 
We depend upon technology licensed from third parties, and if we do not maintain these license arrangements, we will not be able to ship many of our products and our business will be seriously harmed.

      Certain of our products incorporate software and other technologies developed and maintained by third parties. We license these technologies from third parties under agreements with a limited duration and we may not be able to maintain these license arrangements. If we fail to maintain our license arrangements or find suitable replacements, we would not be able to ship many of our products and our business would be materially harmed. For example, we have a license agreement with Dart Technologies, Inc. for Power TCP Telnet and Power TCP VT320 for five years, which we use in our OnWeb product line. There can be no assurance that we would be able to replace the functionality provided by the third-party technologies currently offered in conjunction with our products if those technologies become unavailable to us or obsolete or incompatible with future versions of our products or market standards.

 
We depend upon the compatibility of our products with applications operating on Microsoft Windows to sell our products.

      Substantially all of our net revenues have been derived from the sales of products that provide internetworking applications for the Microsoft Windows environment and are marketed primarily to Windows users. As a result, sales of certain of our products would be negatively impacted by developments adverse to Microsoft’s Windows products. In addition, our strategy of developing products based on the Windows

36


Table of Contents

operating environment is substantially dependent on our ability to gain pre-release access to, and to develop expertise in, current and future Windows developments by Microsoft. If we are unable to gain such access our ability to develop new products compatible with future Windows release in a timely manner could be harmed.
 
The loss of any of our strategic relationships would make it more difficult to keep pace with evolving industry standards and to design products that appeal to the marketplace.

      Our future success depends on our ability to maintain and enter into new strategic alliances and OEM relationships to develop necessary products or technologies, to expand our distribution channels or to jointly market or gain market awareness for our products. We currently rely on strategic relationships, such as those with Microsoft to provide us with state of the art technology, assist us in integrating our products with leading industry applications and help us make use of economies of scale in manufacturing and distribution. However, we do not have written agreements with many of our strategic partners and cannot ensure these relationships will continue for a significant period of time. Many of our agreements with these partners are informal and may be terminated by them at any time. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in maintaining current alliances or developing new alliances and relationships or that such alliances and relationships will achieve their intended purposes.

 
We may be subject to product returns, product liability claims and reduced sales because of defects in our products.

      Software products as complex as those offered by us may contain undetected errors or failures when first introduced or as new versions are released. The likelihood of errors is higher when a new product is introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. Errors may also arise as a result of defects in third-party products or components, which are incorporated, into our products. There can be no assurance that, despite testing by us and by current and potential customers, errors will not be found in new products or product enhancements after commencement of commercial shipments, which could result in loss of or delay in market acceptance. We may be required to devote significant financial resources and personnel to correct any defects. Known or unknown errors or defects that affect the operation of our products could result in the following, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations:

  •  delay or loss or revenues;
 
  •  cancellation of a purchase order or contract due to defects;
 
  •  diversion of development resources;
 
  •  damage to our reputation;
 
  •  failure of our products to achieve market acceptance;
 
  •  increased service and warranty costs; and
 
  •  litigation costs.

      Although some of our licenses with customers contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential product liability claims, these contractual limitations on liability may not be enforceable or may only limit, rather than eliminate potential liability. In addition, our product liability insurance may not be adequate to cover our losses in the event of a product liability claim resulting from defects in our products and may not be available to us in the future.

 
Our business depends upon licensing our intellectual property, and if we fail to protect our proprietary rights, our business could be harmed.

      Our ability to compete depends substantially upon our internally developed proprietary technology. We rely primarily on a combination of copyright and trademark laws, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures, and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights. We seek to protect our software, documentation and other written materials under trade secret and copyright laws and contractual confidentiality agreements,

37


Table of Contents

which afford only limited protection, and, to a lesser extent, patent laws. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of our products and technology is difficult and, while we are unable to determine the extent to which piracy of our software products exists, software piracy can be expected to be a persistent problem. In selling our products, we rely primarily on “shrink-wrap” and “click-wrap” licenses that are not signed by licensees and, therefore, may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States. If we are not successful in protecting our intellectual property, our business could be substantially harmed.
 
We rely upon trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets to protect our proprietary rights, which are only of limited value.

      There can be no assurance that our means of protecting our proprietary rights will be adequate or that our competitors will not independently develop similar technology. In addition, the number of patents applied and granted for software inventions is increasing. Despite any precautions which we have taken:

  •  laws and contractual restrictions may not be sufficient to prevent misappropriation of our technology or deter others from developing similar technologies;
 
  •  other companies may claim common law trademark rights based upon state or foreign law which precede our federal registration of such marks; and
 
  •  current federal laws that prohibit software copying provide only limited protection from software “pirates,” and effective trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in certain foreign countries.

 
Our pending patent applications may never be issued, and even if issued, may provide us with little protection.

      We regard the protection of patentable inventions as important to our business. However, it is possible that:

  •  our pending patent applications may not result in the issuance of patents;
 
  •  our patents may not be broad enough to protect our proprietary rights;
 
  •  any issued patent could be successfully challenged by one or more third parties, which could result in our loss of the right to prevent others from exploiting the inventions claimed in those patents;
 
  •  current and future competitors may independently develop similar technology, duplicate our products or design around any of our patents; and
 
  •  effective patent protection, if any, may not be available in every country in which we do business.

      If we are not successful in asserting our patent rights, our business could be substantially harmed. At the present time, we have six patents pending and we have been issued approximately 89 patents from the U.S. Patent Office.

 
We have received notices of claims that may result in litigation and we may become involved in costly and time-consuming litigation over proprietary rights.

      Substantial litigation regarding intellectual property rights exists in our industry. We expect that software in our industry may be increasingly subject to third party infringement claims as the number of competitors grows and the functionality of products in different areas of the industry overlaps. Third parties may currently have, or may eventually be issued, patents that would be infringed by our products or technology. We cannot be certain that any of these third parties will not make a claim of infringement against us with respect to our products and technology. We have received, and may receive in the future, communications from third parties asserting that our products infringe, or may infringe, the proprietary rights of third parties seeking

38


Table of Contents

indemnification against such infringement or indicating that we may be interested in obtaining a license from such third parties. Any claims or actions asserted against us could result in the expenditure of significant financial resources and the diversion of management’s time and efforts. In addition, litigation in which we are accused of infringement may cause product shipment delays, require us to develop non-infringing technology or require us to enter into royalty or license agreements even before the issue of infringement has been decided on the merits. If any litigation were not to be resolved in our favor, we could become subject to substantial damage claims and be prohibited from using the technology at issue without a royalty or license agreement. These royalty or license agreements, if required, might not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and could result in significant costs and harm our business. If a successful claim of infringement is made against us and we cannot develop non-infringing technology or license the infringed or similar technology on a timely and cost-effective basis, our business could be significantly harmed.
 
Our business is subject to risks from international operations such as legal uncertainty, tariffs, trade barriers and political and economic instability.

      We derived approximately 28% of our net revenues from sales outside of North America (United States and Canada) during the year ended December 31, 2002. While we expect that international sales will continue to account for a significant portion of our net revenues, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain or increase international market demand for our products or that our distributors will be able to effectively meet that demand. Risks inherent in our international business activities generally include, among others:

  •  unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
 
  •  legal uncertainty, particularly regarding intellectual property rights and protection;
 
  •  costs and risks of localizing products for foreign countries;
 
  •  longer accounts receivable payment cycles;
 
  •  language barriers in business discussions;
 
  •  cultural differences in the negotiation of contracts and conflict resolution;
 
  •  time zone differences;
 
  •  the limitations imposed by U.S. export laws (see Government Regulation and Legal Uncertainties below);
 
  •  changes in markets caused by a variety of political, social and economic factors;
 
  •  tariffs and other trade barriers;
 
  •  difficulties in managing international operations;
 
  •  currency exchange rate fluctuations;
 
  •  potentially adverse tax consequences;
 
  •  repatriation of earnings; and
 
  •  the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws.

      Many of our customers are subject to many of the risks described above. These factors may have an adverse effect on our international sales and, consequently, on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 
Terrorist attacks and threats or actual war could adversely affect our operating results and the price of our common stock.

      The terrorist attacks in the United States, the United States response to these attacks, the threat of war in Iraq, and the related decline in consumer confidence and continued economic weakness have had an adverse

39


Table of Contents

impact on our operations. Recent consumer reports indicate that consumer confidence has reached its lowest level since 1993. If consumer confidence continues to decline or does not recover, our revenues and results of operations may continue to be adversely impacted in 2003 and beyond. Any escalation in these events, or similar future events may disrupt our operations or those of our customers. These events have had and may continue to have an adverse impact on the United States and world economy in general and consumer confidence and spending in particular, which has and could continue to harm our sales. Any of these events could increase volatility in the United States and worldwide financial markets and economy, which could harm our stock price and may limit the capital resources available to us and our customers. This could have a significant impact on our operating results, revenues and costs and may result in increased volatility in the market price of our common stock and on the future price of our common stock.
 
Uncertainties exist regarding our stock repurchase program.

      Previously, we announced that our board of directors had approved the repurchase of up to 2,142,857 shares of our common stock. Stock repurchase activities are subject to certain pricing restrictions, stock market forces, management discretion and various regulatory requirements. As a result, there can be no assurance as to the timing and/or amount of shares that we may repurchase, if any, under this stock repurchase program.

 
It may be difficult to raise needed capital in the future, which could significantly harm our business.

      We may require substantial additional capital to finance growth and fund ongoing operations in future years. Our capital requirements will depend on many factors including, among other things:

  •  our results of operations;
 
  •  acceptance of and demand for our products;
 
  •  the number and timing of any acquisitions and the cost of these acquisitions;
 
  •  the costs of developing new products;
 
  •  the costs associated with our refocusing on core products and technologies; and
 
  •  the extent to which we invest in new technology and research and development projects.

      Although our current business plan does not foresee the need for further financing activities to fund our operations for the foreseeable future, due to risks and uncertainties in the marketplace as well as a potential of pursuing further acquisitions, we may need to raise additional capital. If we issue additional stock to raise capital, your percentage ownership in us would be diluted. If we raise capital through debt; our debt servicing costs will increase. Additional financing may not be available when needed and, if such financing is available, it may not be available on terms favorable to us.

 
Because of their significant stock ownership, our officers and directors can exert significant control over our future direction.

      As of January 31, 2003, our officers, directors and entities affiliated with them, in the aggregate, beneficially owned approximately 1.5 million shares, or 17% of our outstanding common stock. These stockholders, if acting together, would be able to exert significant influence on all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors, the approval of mergers or other business combination transactions or a sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

 
Certain provisions of our stock option plan, our stockholder rights plan and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws make changes of control difficult even if they would be beneficial to stockholders.

      Our 1992 Stock Option Plan and our 1999 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan provide that, in the event of a change of control of NetManage, all options outstanding under those plans would become fully vested and

40


Table of Contents

exercisable for at least 10 days prior to the consummation of such change of control transaction. These accelerations of vesting provisions would increase the cost to any potential acquirer and could have the effect of deterring or reducing the per share price paid to purchase NetManage.

      In addition, our board of directors has the authority without any further vote or action on the part of the stockholders to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the preferred stock. This preferred stock, if it is ever issued, may have preference over and harm the rights of the holders of our common stock. Although the issuance of this preferred stock will provide us with flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, the issuance of the preferred stock may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock. We currently have no plans to issue preferred stock.

      Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws include provisions that may have the effect of deterring an unsolicited offer to purchase our stock. In addition, we have implemented a stockholder rights plan that could deter or at least make it significantly more expensive for an unsolicited offer to purchase our stock. These provisions, coupled with the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, may delay or impede a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving us. Furthermore, our board of directors is divided into three classes, only one of which is elected each year. Directors are only capable of being removed by the affirmative vote of two thirds or greater of all classes of voting stock. These factors may further delay or prevent a change of control.

 
We face risks from the uncertainties of current and future governmental regulation.

      We are not currently subject to direct regulation by any government agency, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally, and there are currently few laws or regulations directly applicable to access to or commerce on the Internet. However, due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, it is possible that various laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet, covering issues such as user privacy, pricing and characteristics and quality of products and services. The adoption of any such laws or regulations may decrease the growth of the Internet, which could in turn decrease the demand for our products, increase our cost of doing business or otherwise have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Moreover, the applicability to the Internet of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, libel and personal privacy is uncertain. Further, due to the encryption technology contained in certain of our products, such products are subject to U.S. export controls. There can be no assurance that such export controls, either in their current form or as may be subsequently enacted, will not limit our ability to distribute products outside of the United States or electronically. While we take precautions against unlawful exportation, there can be no assurance that inadvertent violations will not occur, and the global nature of the Internet makes it virtually impossible to effectively control the distribution of our products. In addition, future federal or state legislation or regulation may further limit levels of encryption or authentication technology. Any such export restriction, new legislation or regulation or unlawful exportation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

 
      Recent accounting pronouncements

      In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, which provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 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. Effective January 1, 2003, NetManage will adopt the amended disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123.

      In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. FIN 45 requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee. The disclosure provisions of FIN 45 are effective for financial

41


Table of Contents

statements of interim or annual periods that end after December 15, 2002. The provisions for initial recognition and measurement are effective on a prospective basis for guarantees that are issued or modified after December 31, 2002, irrespective of a guarantor’s year-end. Management has not yet determined the impact of the adoption of the recognition provisions of FIN 45 on NetManage’s results of operations or financial position.

      In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. EITF 00-21 addresses certain aspects of the accounting by a vendor for arrangements under which the vendor will perform multiple revenue generating activities. The EITF will be effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2003. Management has not yet determined the impact of the adoption of EITF 00-21 on NetManage’s results of operations or financial position.

      In June 2002, the FASB, issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which addresses accounting for restructuring and similar costs. SFAS No. 146 supersedes previous accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task Force 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).” SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under Issue No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of the commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. Accordingly, SFAS No. 146 may affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as well as the amounts recognized. NetManage will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 146 for restructuring activities initiated after December 31, 2002.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

NetManage, Inc.
Cupertino, California

      We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NetManage, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. Our audits also included the consolidated financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

      We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

      In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of NetManage, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such consolidated financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

      As discussed in Note 10, the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2001 and for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 have been restated.

      As discussed in Note 2, in 2002 the Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets to conform to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.

NETMANAGE, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.     Nature of operations and organization:

      NetManage, Inc. (NetManage) develops and markets software and service solutions that allow its customers to access and leverage the investment they have in their host-based business applications, processes and data. NetManage’s business is primarily focused on providing a full spectrum of specific personal computer and network or application server-based software programs and software tools. These products are intended to allow NetManage customers to access and use their mission-critical line-of-business host applications and resources: to publish information from existing host systems in a web presentation particularly to new users via the Internet; create new web-based applications that leverage a corporation’s existing business processes; and, ensure the continued operation of these solutions through the incorporation of innovative real-time Internet-based support solutions.

      NetManage develops and markets these software solutions to allow its customers to access and leverage applications, business processes and data on IBM corporate mainframe computers, IBM midrange computers such as AS/400, and on UNIX based servers. NetManage also provide professional support, maintenance and technical consultancy services to its customers.

      NetManage has a range of host access, and host integration products. NetManage’s Host Access products provide the applications and solutions that allow end-user devices including personal computers, and devices running web browsers, to communicate with large centralized corporate computer systems. Host Access products are marketed and sold primarily under the brand name of RUMBA for client-side Host Access solutions that run on personal computers and under the OnWeb brand for server-side Host Access solutions that deliver connectivity for web browser users without the requirement for software on the user’s device other than the browser (“zero footprint” solutions). NetManage’s Host Integration products provide server-side solutions that allow the integration of multiple host applications and business processes to create new applications for the web. NetManage’s Host Integration products also allow its customers to integrate existing legacy applications with new platform solutions such as those built using IBM’s WebSphere or BEA’s WebLogic. Host Integration products are marketed and sold under the OnWeb brand name.

2.     Summary of significant accounting policies:

 
      Principles of consolidation

      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NetManage and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 
      Use of estimates

      The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 
      Foreign currency translation, foreign exchange contracts and comprehensive income

      The functional currency of NetManage’s foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of the foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements are included in accumulated comprehensive loss and reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

      NetManage currently does not enter into financial instruments for either trading or speculative purposes. Historically, financial instruments were used to reduce the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The principal instruments used were forward foreign exchange contracts of which the counter-parties

50


Table of Contents

 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

were major financial institutions. There were no forward foreign exchange contracts used during the three year period ended December 31, 2002.

      Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and other comprehensive earnings such as foreign currency translation gains or losses and unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities.

 
      Cash and cash equivalents

      NetManage considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 
      Short-term investments

      NetManage accounts for its investments under the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Under SFAS No. 115, short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss. Held-to-maturity securities are valued using the amortized cost method. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, all short-term investments were classified as available-for-sale, and the fair value of the investments approximated amortized cost.

      In December 2000 ServiceSoft, Inc., a private company in which NetManage owned a minority interest, was acquired by Broadbase, a publicly traded company. As a result NetManage received shares of Broadbase common stock in exchange for the minority interest NetManage held in the shares of common stock of ServiceSoft, Inc. and recognized a gain which is included in Gain (loss) on investments, of approximately $2.2 million on the original investment. The shares of Broadbase common stock owned by NetManage were classified as available-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2000. On June 29, 2001, Broadbase was acquired by KANA Software Inc., KANA, a publicly traded company, at which time NetManage recorded a $1.8 million loss on its investment (See Note 10).

 
      Other investments

      Other investments mainly consist of equity interests in private companies with less than 20% ownership interests. These investments are accounted for under the cost method.

      On May 4, 2000 NetManage invested $1.5 million in 2,822 Series B Preferred shares of stock in easyBASE Ltd. which is approximately 12% of the total ownership of easyBASE Ltd. NetManage’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Zvi Alon, also has a personal investment of less than 1% in easyBASE Ltd. He is also a member of the board of directors of easyBASE Ltd.

      In May, June, and December 1999 NetManage invested a total of $275,000 in pcFirst, Inc. On April 28, 2001 pcFirst, Inc. was purchased by fusionOne, Inc., a development stage private company, and NetManage received 13,625 shares of common stock of fusionOne, Inc. NetManage’s investment represents less than 1% of the total ownership of fusionOne, Inc.

      In the third quarter of 2002, NetManage determined that the investments in easyBASE Ltd. and fusionOne, Inc. were permanently impaired, as a result of continued weakness in the software development industry and management’s analysis of data provided to NetManage by both companies. Also in the third quarter of 2002, NetManage determined that the investment in KANA was permanently impaired and wrote off $759,000 of its investment. In the fourth quarter 2002, NetManage determined that a $275,000 bridge loan to easyBASE was uncollectible and, as such, the bridge loan was written off.

      Property and equipment

      Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Improvements, renewals and extraordinary repairs that extend the lives of the asset are capitalized, other repairs and maintenance are expensed. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

         
Classification Life


Computer software and equipment
    2 to 3 years  
Furniture and fixtures
    5 years  
Leasehold improvements
    Shorter of the lease term  
      or the estimated useful life  
 
      Goodwill and other intangible assets, net

      NetManage reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. NetManage evaluates possible impairment of long-lived assets using estimates of undiscounted future cash flows. Impairment loss to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Management evaluates the fair value of long-lived assets and intangibles using primarily the estimated discounted future cash flows method. Management uses other alternative valuation techniques whenever the estimated discounted future cash flows method is not applicable. Effective January 1, 2002, NetManage adopted SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144). SFAS No. 144 removes goodwill from its scope and retains the requirements of SFAS No. 121 to (a) recognize an impairment loss only if the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows and (b) measure an impairment loss as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. There was no effect from the adoption of SFAS No. 144. In the fourth quarter of 2002, NetManage recorded a $0.7 million charge to fully impair the developed technology acquired in connection with the purchase of Aqueduct Software, Inc.

      Effective January 1, 2002, NetManage adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangibles. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization. Rather, SFAS No. 142 requires that intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite useful life be reviewed for impairment upon adoption of SFAS No. 142 and at least annually thereafter. NetManage performed its annual impairment review during the fourth quarter of 2002. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill impairment may exist if the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. NetManage determines an impairment loss using the discounted future cash flows method. NetManage’s reporting units are generally consistent with the operating segments identified in Note 9 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002, NetManage ceased amortization of assembled workforce and reclassified the net carrying amount of $224,000 to goodwill. In connection with its annual impairment review in the fourth quarter of 2002, NetManage determined that the net carrying amount of goodwill for the Host Integration reporting unit was impaired and recorded a $4.9 million impairment loss. In addition, goodwill was reduced by $0.7 million in 2002 as a result of the utilization of pre-acquisition tax attributes of Wall Data (see Note 8).

      NetManage accounts for restructuring charges under the provisions of the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 94-3 Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 100 regarding the accounting for and disclosure of certain expenses commonly reported in connection with exit activities and business combinations.

     Software development costs

      Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 86, Accounting for Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed, under which capitalization of software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility of the product, which management defines as the development of a working model and further defines as the development of a beta version of the software. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, anticipated future gross product revenue, estimated economic life and changes in technology. Such costs are reported at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Amortization of purchased software is generally computed on a straight-line basis over one to five years or, if less, the estimated remaining economic life of the underlying products. To date, software development costs that were eligible for

54

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

capitalization have not been significant. Additionally, all other software development costs have been expensed as incurred.

 
      Concentrations of credit risk

      Financial instruments, which potentially subject NetManage to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash investments and trade receivables. NetManage has a cash investment policy that limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer and restricts placement of these investments to issuers evaluated as less than creditworthy. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the large number of customers comprising NetManage’s customer base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographies. There were no customers that amounted for more than 10% of consolidated revenues in 2002, 2001, or 2000.

 
      Net loss per share

      On August 28, 2002, NetManage stockholders approved a one-for-seven reverse stock split of its common stock for stockholders of record on July 15, 2002. All share and per share information in the accompanying financial statements have been adjusted to retroactively give effect to the reverse stock split.

      Basic net loss per share data has been computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted net loss per share data has been computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares include dilutive shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding common stock options computed using the treasury stock method. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the number of shares used in the computation of diluted earnings per share were the same as those used for the computation of basic earnings per share. Potentially dilutive securities of 6,857, none, and 90,140 shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because to do so would have been antidilutive for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

 
      Revenue recognition

      NetManage derives revenue from primarily two sources: (1) product revenue, which includes software license and royalty revenue, and (2) services and support revenue which includes software license maintenance and consulting.

      NetManage licenses its software products on a one and two-year term basis or on a perpetual basis. Two-year term based licenses include the first year of maintenance and support. To date such two-year term licenses have been insignificant. NetManage applies the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, and related amendments and interpretations to all transactions involving the sale of software products and to hardware transactions where the software is not incidental.

      NetManage recognizes revenue from the sale of software licenses to end users and resellers when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, the fee is fixed and determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Delivery generally occurs when product is delivered to a common carrier.

      Product is sold without the right of return, except for defective product that may be returned for replacement. To date, such returns have been insignificant. Certain of NetManage’s sales are made to domestic distributors under agreements allowing rights of return and price protection on unsold merchandise. Accordingly, NetManage defers recognition of such sales until the distributor sells the merchandise. NetManage’s international distributors generally do not have return rights and, as such, NetManage generally recognizes sales to international distributors upon shipment, provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

55

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

      At the time of the transaction, NetManage assesses whether the fee associated with revenue transactions is fixed and determinable and whether or not collection is reasonably assured. NetManage assesses 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 normal payment terms, NetManage accounts for the fee as not being fixed and determinable. In these cases, NetManage recognizes revenue as the fees become due.

      NetManage assesses collectability based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the credit-worthiness of the customer. NetManage does not request collateral from its customers. If NetManage determines that collection of a fee at the transaction date is not reasonably assured, NetManage defers the fee and recognizes revenue at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash.

      For all sales, except those completed over the Internet, NetManage uses either a binding purchase order or signed license agreement as evidence of an arrangement. For sales over the Internet, NetManage uses a credit card authorization as evidence of an arrangement. Sales through distributors are evidenced by a master agreement governing the relationship together with binding purchase orders on a transaction-by-transaction basis.

      For arrangements with multiple elements (for example, undelivered maintenance and support), NetManage allocates revenue to each component of the arrangement using the residual value method based on vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of the fair value of the undelivered elements. This means that NetManage defers revenue from the arrangement fee equivalent to the fair value of the undelivered elements. Fair values for the ongoing maintenance and support obligations are generally based upon separate sales of renewals to other customers or upon renewal rates quoted in the contracts. Fair value of services, such as training or consulting, is based upon separate sales by NetManage of these services to other customers.

      NetManage arrangements do not generally include acceptance clauses. However, if an arrangement includes an acceptance provision, acceptance occurs upon the earlier of receipt of a written customer acceptance or expiration of the acceptance period.

      Service revenues are derived from software updates for existing software products, user documentation and technical support, generally under annual service agreements. These revenues are recognized ratably over the terms of such agreements. If such services are included in the initial licensing fee, the value of the services determined based on VSOE is deferred and recognized ratably over the related service period. Service revenues derived from consulting and training are deferred and recognized when the services are performed and the collectability is deemed probable. To date, consulting revenue has not been significant.

 
      Insurance recovery

      During the year ended December 31, 2000, NetManage received a cash payment of $3.8 million from its insurance companies as a reimbursement of amounts paid for legal fees and expenses incurred by NetManage in prior years for settlement of certain litigation.

 
      Advertising and sales promotion costs

      Advertising and sales promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs consist primarily of magazine advertisements, agency fees and other direct production costs. Advertising and sales promotion costs totaled approximately $1.8 million, $1.5 million, and $2.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

 
      Income taxes

      NetManage accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of

56


Table of Contents

 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. NetManage is required to adjust its deferred tax liabilities in the period when tax rates or the provisions of the income tax laws change. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that more likely than not are expected to be realized.

 
      Stock compensation

      SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation encourages all entities to adopt a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans, whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award which is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. However it also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, whereby compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date (or other measurement date) over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Stock options issued under NetManage’s stock option plans have no intrinsic value at the grant date, accordingly, under APB Opinion No. 25, no compensation cost is recognized. Management has elected to continue with the accounting prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25 and, as a result, must make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share and other disclosures as if the fair value based method of accounting had been applied (see Note 7).

 
      Reclassifications

      Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to current year presentation.

 
      Recent accounting pronouncements

      In December 2002, the FASB, issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, which provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 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. Effective January 1, 2003, NetManage will adopt the amended disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123.

      In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. FIN 45 requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee. The disclosure provisions of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods that end after December 15, 2002. The provisions for initial recognition and measurement are effective on a prospective basis for guarantees that are issued or modified after December 31, 2002, irrespective of a guarantor’s year-end. Management has not yet determined the impact of the adoption of the recognition provisions of FIN 45 on NetManage’s results of operations or financial position.

      In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. EITF 00-21 addresses certain aspects of the accounting by a vendor for arrangements under which the vendor will perform multiple revenue generating activities. The EITF will be effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2003. Management has not yet determined the impact of the adoption of EITF 00-21 on NetManage’s results of operations or financial position.

      In June 2002, the FASB, issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which addresses accounting for restructuring and similar costs. SFAS No. 146 supersedes previous accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for

57


Table of Contents

 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under Issue No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of the commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. Accordingly, SFAS No. 146 may affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as well as the amounts recognized. NetManage will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 146 for restructuring activities initiated after December 31, 2002.

3.     Acquisitions:

 
           Aqueduct Software, Inc.

      On June 5, 2000, NetManage completed its acquisition of Aqueduct Software, Inc. or Aqueduct, an early stage web-based application intelligence company. NetManage issued 160,214 shares of NetManage common stock and issued warrants and options to purchase an additional 103,891 shares for all the outstanding stock of Aqueduct. NetManage also hired the three employees of Aqueduct who subsequently left NetManage in 2001. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the results of Aqueduct from the date of acquisition have been recorded in NetManage’s consolidated financial statements. The warrants and options, none of which were exercised, expired on December 5, 2001. Disclosure of pro forma operations for Aqueduct from January 1, 2000 through the date of acquisition has not been provided as it is not material.

      The aggregate purchase price for the acquisition of Aqueduct was computed as follows (in thousands):

         
Value of NetManage common stock and warrants issued
  $ 4,325  
Acquisition costs
    311  
     
 
    $ 4,636  
     
 

      The purchase price was allocated as follows (in thousands):

           
Cash and investments
  $ 4  
Other current and non-current assets
    12  
Equipment
    28  
Intangible assets
    2,979  
In-process research and development
    1,700  
Liabilities assumed
    (87 )
     
 
 
Net assets acquired
  $ 4,636  
     
 

      In connection with the acquisition of Aqueduct, NetManage allocated $1.7 million of the purchase price to in-process research and development projects. This allocation represents the estimated fair value based on risk-adjusted cash flows related to the incomplete projects. At the date of acquisition, the development of these projects had not yet reached technological feasibility and the research and development in progress had no alternative future uses. Accordingly, these costs were expensed as of the acquisition date. As discussed in Note 2, NetManage recorded a charge to operations in the amount of $0.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2002, to fully impair the net carrying amount of developed technology. The remaining intangibles at December 31, 2002 consisted of $1.1 million of goodwill, net. At December 31, 2001 goodwill, net totaled $1.1 million and developed technology totaled $0.9 million.

 
           Wall Data Incorporated

      On December 29, 1999, NetManage completed the acquisition of Wall Data Incorporated (Wall Data). NetManage acquired all outstanding shares of Wall Data common stock and paid cash to qualifying Wall

58


Table of Contents

 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Data option holders and employee stock purchase plan participants pursuant to a cash tender offer of $9.00 per common share. Total aggregate payments pursuant to the cash tender offer amounted to approximately $94.0 million. NetManage completed the transaction in two stages. On November 26, 1999, NetManage acquired approximately 89% of the outstanding shares of Wall Data pursuant to the cash tender offer. NetManage acquired the remaining outstanding shares of Wall Data by means of a merger completed in accordance with State of Washington law on December 29, 1999. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the results of Wall Data from the date of acquisition have been recorded in NetManage’s consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2000, NetManage had approximately $2.0 million of acquisition-related costs for Wall Data, which was included in accrued liabilities in NetManage’s consolidated balance sheet. All remaining expenses associated with the acquisition were recorded and paid in 2001. In December 2000, NetManage recorded a decrease to intangible assets of approximately $9.7 million as a result of reversal of liabilities NetManage had overestimated at the acquisition date. The following tables reflect this adjustment.

      The aggregate purchase price for the acquisition of Wall Data was computed as follows (in thousands):

         
Cash payments pursuant to tender offer
  $ 94,048  
Acquisition costs
    9,456  
     
 
    $ 103,504  
     
 

      The purchase price was allocated as follows (in thousands):

           
Cash and investments
  $ 48,597  
Other current and non-current assets
    15,374  
Equipment
    6,763  
Intangible assets
    45,571  
In-process research and development
    12,400  
Liabilities assumed
    (25,201 )
     
 
 
Net assets acquired
  $ 103,504  
     
 

      In connection with the acquisition of Wall Data, NetManage allocated $12.4 million of the purchase price to in-process research and development projects which was expensed as of the acquisition date in 1999. This allocation represents the estimated fair value based on risk-adjusted cash flows related to the incomplete projects. At the date of acquisition, the development of these projects had not yet reached technological feasibility, and the research and development in progress had no alternative future uses. Accordingly, these costs were expensed as of the acquisition date. The remaining intangibles of $45.6 million, consisted of goodwill, developed technology, customer base, assembled workforce and trade name.

      Subsequent to the acquisition, the sales and profitability of the combined company was adversely affected and management determined that the value of other acquired intangible assets had become impaired. As a result NetManage wrote off $29.7 million of goodwill and other intangibles through a charge to operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2000. The net carrying amount of the remaining intangibles, consisting of developed technology, installed customer base and trade name, totaled approximately $1.4 million and $2.5 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of five years.

 
           Simware Inc.

      On December 10, 1999, NetManage completed its acquisition of Simware Inc., or Simware, a leading provider of e-commerce solutions and web integration servers. NetManage acquired all outstanding shares of Simware common stock and paid cash to qualifying Simware option holders and employee stock purchase plan participants pursuant to a cash tender offer of $3.75 per common share. The acquisition was accounted

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of Simware from the date of acquisition have been recorded in NetManage’s consolidated financial statements.

      The aggregate purchase price for the acquisition of Simware was computed as follows (in thousands):

         
Cash payments pursuant to tender offer
  $ 29,191  
Acquisition costs
    953  
     
 
    $ 30,144  
     
 

      The purchase price was allocated as follows (in thousands):

           
Cash and investments
  $ 2,188  
Other current and non-current assets
    6,512  
Equipment
    1,170  
Intangible assets
    18,166  
In-process research and development
    6,700  
Liabilities assumed
    (4,592 )
     
 
 
Net assets acquired
  $ 30,144  
     
 

      In connection with the acquisition of Simware, NetManage allocated $6.7 million of the purchase price to in-process research and development projects and expensed this amount in 1999. This allocation represents the estimated fair value based on risk-adjusted cash flows related to the incomplete projects. At the date of acquisition, the development of these projects had not yet reached technological feasibility and the research and development in progress had no alternative future uses. Accordingly, these costs were expensed as of the acquisition date. The remaining intangibles of $18.2 million, consisted of goodwill, developed technology, and assembled work force.

      Subsequent to the acquisition, there has been an inability to achieve budgeted sales of Host Integration products associated with the acquisition of Simware. Consequently, management determined that the value of other acquired intangible assets had become impaired. As a result NetManage wrote off $4.9 million of goodwill and other intangibles through a charge to operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 (see Note 2). The net carrying amount of the remaining intangibles, consisting of developed technology, totaled approximately $2.1 million and $3.3 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and are being amortized over an estimated useful life of five years.

 
           FTP Software, Inc.

      Based on management’s analysis of revised product directions, revenue forecasts and future cash flows, it was determined that there was a permanent impairment of the long lived assets associated with the 1998 acquisition of FTP Software, Inc. As a result, NetManage wrote off $10.1 million of goodwill and other intangibles in the third quarter of fiscal 2000. The remaining intangibles at December 31, 2002 consisted of $0.7 million of goodwill, net. At December 31, 2001 goodwill, net totaled $0.7 million and patents, copyrights and developed technology totaled $0.5 million.

5.     Commitments and contingencies:

 
Legal proceedings

      On November 22, 1999, Kenneth Fisher filed a complaint alleging violations of the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729 et seq., against NetManage, and its affiliates Network Software Associates, Inc. or NSA, and NetSoft Inc., or NetSoft, in the United States District Court of the District of Columbia. NetManage acquired NSA and NetSoft in 1997. The United States government declined to pursue the action on its own behalf and, therefore, the action was pursued by Kenneth Fisher. NetManage, and its affiliates, first learned of the action when NetManage was served with the amended complaint in May 2001. On September 5, 2001, Mr. Fisher agreed to voluntarily dismiss NetManage from this action in exchange for its agreement to suspend applicable statutes of limitation as to Mr. Fisher’s claims.

      On January 31, 2002, on an order of the court following defendant’s successful motion to dismiss the May 2001 amended complaint, Mr. Fisher filed a Second Amended Complaint, or Second Complaint, in the United States District Court of the District of Columbia against NSA and NetSoft among numerous other defendants. On May 13, 2002, on an order of the court following defendants’ successful motion to strike the Second Complaint, Mr. Fisher filed a Third Amended Complaint, or Complaint, in the United States District Court of the District of Columbia against NSA and NetSoft among numerous other defendants. The Complaint alleges that NSA, NetSoft and the other defendants made false claims to the government to obtain government contracts set aside for entities owned and controlled by disadvantaged persons admitted to the Section 8(a) Minority Small Business Development Program. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that from 1987 to 1997, NSA, NetSoft, and the other defendants presented false or fraudulent claims for payment or approval to the government in violation of 31 U.S.C. § 3729 (a) (1), and used false records or statements to get claims paid or approved by the government in violation of 31 U.S.C. § 3729 (a) (2) in connection with NSA’s application and certification as a Section 8 (a) minority owned and controlled company. In addition, the Complaint alleges that NSA, Netsoft and the other defendants conspired to defraud the government by fraudulently obtaining NSA’s certification as a Section 8 (a) entity for alleged use by NSA’s Federal Systems Division, in violation of 31 U.S.C. § 3729 (a) (3). NetManage did not acquire NSA until July 1997 and had

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

no involvement with the events alleged by Mr. Fisher. However, Mr. Fisher alleges that any liabilities of NSA and Netsoft passed to NetManage. Mr. Fisher alleges damages in excess of $30,000,000. On May 31, 2002, NSA and NetSoft and the other defendants answered the complaint and filed a motion to strike the complaint. NetManage, and its affiliates, vigorously dispute Mr. Fisher’s allegations.

      In addition, NetManage may be contingently liable with respect to certain asserted and unasserted claims that arise during the normal course of business.

The exercise price of stock options issued under the 1999 Plan is established by the 1999 Plan Administrator, which is a committee of the Board of Directors. Options granted under the 1999 Plan become exercisable at a rate of 25% of the shares subject to the option at the end of the first year and 1/48 of the shares subject to the option at the end of each calendar month thereafter.

The 1992 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to employees and officers and non-statutory stock options to employees, officers, directors and consultants. The exercise price of incentive stock options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant (110% of such fair market value in the case of a grant to a holder of more than 10% of the voting power of NetManage’s outstanding capital stock (a 10% stockholder)); the exercise price of non-statutory options may not be less than 85% of such fair market value. Under the 1992 Plan stock options generally vest over a period of four to five years. The maximum term of a stock option under the 1992 Plan is 10 years (five years in the case of an incentive option granted to a 10% stockholder).

      On June 5, 2002 at NetManage’s Annual Stockholders’ Meeting, approval was granted to (1) increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 1992 Plan by 214,286 shares, (2) to add an annual share increase provision to the 1992 Plan beginning in the calendar year 2003 and continuing through calendar year 2007, and (3) extend the term of the 1992 Plan to April 24, 2012.

 
Non-employee directors’ stock option plan

      In July 1993, NetManage adopted the 1993 Directors’ Stock Option Plan, or Directors’ Plan, and reserved 114,286 shares of common stock for issuance thereunder.

For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, 169,394, 153,244, and 101,033 shares, respectively, were issued under the Purchase Plan at prices ranging from $0.89 to $3.99, $3.93 to $5.00, and $7.63 to $12.27 per share, respectively.

      The pretax income (loss) from foreign operations, which is comprised of Canadian, European, Asian, and Latin American operations, was $(4.7) million, $5.5 million, and $(10.4) million, in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. Undistributed earnings of NetManage’s foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for federal and state income taxes has been provided thereon. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of a dividend or otherwise, NetManage would be subject to both US income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries. It is not practicable to estimate the income tax liability that might be incurred on the remittance of such earnings.

      Currently, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will not be realized and, accordingly, has recorded a valuation allowance for the net deferred tax asset. This is due to the history of net operating losses that NetManage has and expects to incur. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, may change if actual future taxable income differs from estimated amounts.

      At December 31, 2002, NetManage had gross net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $115.7 million and $144.7 million for federal income tax purposes and state income tax purposes, respectively, expiring at various dates through 2022 and federal tax credit carryforwards of approximately $1.1 million that expire in various years through 2012. At December 31, 2002, NetManage had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $40.9 million available to offset future taxable income in several foreign jurisdictions. In accordance with certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, a change in ownership of greater than 50% of a company within a three year period results in an annual limitation on its ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforward from tax periods prior to the ownership change. Such a change in ownership occurred with respect to NetManage’s past acquisition of certain companies, including Wall Data. Accordingly, NetManage’s net operating losses and credits are subject to these limitations.

      Included in the above net operating loss carryforwards are $62.5 million, $18.4 million and $5.6 million of federal, state and foreign net operating losses, respectively, related to acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. There are also $0.8 million and $1.3 million in federal and foreign tax credit carryforwards, respectively, from these acquisitions. The benefit of such losses and tax credits, if and when realized, will be credited first to reduce to zero any goodwill related to the respective acquisition, second to reduce to zero other non-current intangible assets related to the respective acquisition, and third to reduce income tax expense. At December 31, 2002, the net carrying amount of goodwill and other non-current intangible assets against which such pre-acquisition tax attributes could be applied is $5.3 million. During

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

2000, NetManage utilized pre-acquisition tax attributes of Wall Data in Ireland to reduce the current tax liability for that year on Ireland taxable income to zero. During 2001 and 2002, NetManage utilized pre-acquisition net operating losses and tax credits of Simware in Canada to reduce current tax liabilities for those years, on Canadian taxable income, to zero. The benefit from the reduction of the valuation allowance attributable to these tax attributes, which approximated $0.7 million, $2.6 million and $0.4 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, has been recorded as a reduction of goodwill.

      During the years ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, NetManage recognized benefits of $218,000 and $277,000, respectively from the utilization of Canadian post-acquisition net operating loss carryforwards for which NetManage had previously established a full valuation allowance.

      NetManage’s subsidiary in Haifa, Israel has a ten-year tax holiday, which commenced January 1, 1995. During the first two years of the tax holiday, the subsidiary was exempt from taxation on income generated during that period. During the remaining eight years in which income is generated by the subsidiary, that generated income will be taxed at a reduced income tax rate of 10%.

      In December 2001, NetManage’s subsidiary in Israel, NetManage, Ltd. (Haifa, Israel) came to an agreement with the tax authorities in Israel concerning the gain on the sale of shares in NetVision in 1997. A $100,000 tax payment resulted from this transaction and tax reserves, previously recorded, of approximately $1.9 million, for this matter, were reversed (see Note 10).

 
9. Segment information

      In 1998, NetManage adopted SFAS No. 131 Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. NetManage’s chief operating decision-maker is its chief executive officer. NetManage has concluded that it operates, based on products and services, in two segments: Host Access and Host Integration. NetManage’s chief operating decision-maker evaluates these segments at the sales and bookings level.

      NetManage’s Host Access segment provides the technology to make the connection between personal computers and large corporate computers possible. These products are designed to leverage the strengths and popularity of the Internet, as well as corporate private networks, and offer features to improve network manageability. The Host Integration segment provides the technology to allow customers to leverage the investment they have in existing host-based systems, applications and business processes for new web-based presentations, applications, and solutions. This segment includes NetManage product branded as OnWeb. Realtime Interactive Support, previously sold as the standalone product SupportNow has been or is being built into NetManage’s full line of products, and NetManage believes adds value through increased functionality in the Host Access and Host Integration product offerings. These segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar with respect to the nature of the products, the nature of the production processes, the type of customer that the products are sold to and the methods used to distribute the products. Net revenues for the Host Access and Host Integration segments were as follows for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 (in thousands):

      North America consists of the United States and Canada, whose operations have not been separated as it would be impracticable to do so. Revenues are attributed to individual countries primarily based on customer “ship to” and “invoice to” addresses. Long-lived assets associated with European, Latin America and Asian operations are insignificant.

      There were no customers that accounted for more than 10% of net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, or 2000.

10.     Restatement of financial statements

      Subsequent to the issuance of NetManage’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001, management determined that the accounting treatment originally afforded to certain transactions that had been recorded in 2000 and 2001 and the first three quarters of 2002 was inappropriate. Listed below is a summary of such transactions.

2001 adjustments

      A loss of approximately $1.6 million in NetManage’s investment in Broadbase had been recorded as unrealized loss in accumulated comprehensive loss as of the business combination date between Broadbase and KANA in June 2001 rather than as a loss in consolidated results of operations in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 91-5, Nonmonetary Exchange of Cost-Method Investments. Furthermore, NetManage recorded a realized loss of $0.2 million on this investment in 2000 (see further discussion below), which should have been recognized as an unrealized loss within accumulated comprehensive loss until the date of the business combination between KANA and Broadbase, at which time it should have been recorded as a realized loss. As a result, NetManage recorded an adjustment to recognize the total realized investment loss of $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001.

      During 2001, NetManage recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $2.6 million upon utilization of pre-acquisition net operating losses and tax credits of Simware in Canada to offset Canadian taxable income. NetManage subsequently determined that the utilization of the related deferred tax assets, for which NetManage had previously established a full valuation allowance, should have been recorded as a reduction in goodwill rather than as an income tax benefit. Additionally, tax liabilities were adjusted by approximately $1.9 million to reflect a favorable tax settlement in 2001 of tax contingencies at the Haifa, Israel subsidiary. As

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

a result of the adjustment to goodwill, amortization expense related to goodwill has been reduced by $650,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The net increase to the provision for income taxes resulting from the two tax adjustments described above was $650,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001.

      Third party transactions were improperly included within accumulated comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2001. Consequently, NetManage recorded an adjustment to remove these transactions from accumulated comprehensive loss, which decreased services revenue by approximately $355,000 in 2001.

      NetManage recorded license and service revenue for certain software contracts that should have been deferred as of December 31, 2001. Accordingly, NetManage recorded an adjustment to reduce license revenue by $316,000 and service revenue by $157,000 for 2001 with an offsetting increase to deferred revenue at December 31, 2001.

      NetManage had previously not reported cost of services revenue as a component of cost of revenues. Accordingly, NetManage recorded an adjustment to reclassify $8.1 million in operating expense to cost of services revenue for fiscal 2001 to reflect the cost of services revenue as a component of cost of revenues.

      In the third quarter of fiscal 2000, NetManage wrote-off $10.0 million of goodwill and other intangibles related to the 1998 acquisition of FTP. At that time, NetManage should have reduced the amortization period of the remaining intangible assets from the FTP acquisition. Consequently, NetManage recorded an adjustment in 2001 to increase amortization expense by $416,000, to recognize the impact of the reduced amortization period for that year.

      In addition to the above adjustments: (i) income from marketable securities totaling $133,000 was adjusted from unrealized to realized income; (ii) certain general and administrative expenses were adjusted for excess accruals totaling $114,000 that were reversed in 2001 instead of 2000, and (iii) foreign currency amounts were adjusted for various foreign currency transactions.

2000 adjustments

      As discussed above, an adjustment was made to reverse a $0.2 million loss that was recognized in 2000 on NetManage’s investment in Broadbase and to present the loss as an unrealized loss as of December 31, 2000 within the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.

      An analysis of the purchase price allocation resulting from NetManage’s acquisition of Wall Data in December 1999 indicated that NetManage had overstated deferred revenue at December 31, 1999 on certain software contracts that were acquired from Wall Data, on which Wall Data had recognized revenue prior to being acquired by NetManage. The impact of the incorrect purchase price allocation was an overstatement of goodwill and deferred revenue at the acquisition date, and a resulting overstatement of revenue in 2000 upon the amortization of the deferred revenue. Consequently, NetManage recorded a $2.3 million adjustment to reduce revenue in 2000 with an offsetting reduction of the impairment expense recognized in connection with the write-off of the related goodwill in 2000.

      During 2000, NetManage incorrectly wrote-off $810,000 of trade receivables against liabilities that had been recorded in connection with the acquisition of Wall Data. Consequently, NetManage recorded an adjustment of $810,000 to increase bad debt expense in 2000 and reduce identifiable intangibles relating to the acquisition.

      Certain revenue, expense and gain transactions were recorded in accumulated comprehensive loss. Consequently, an adjustment was recorded in 2000 to remove the transactions from accumulated comprehensive loss with offsetting increases to revenue, selling expenses, and gain on investment, of $1,112,000, $756,000 and $116,000, respectively. In addition, corrections to the accumulated comprehensive loss account related to periods prior to 2000 increased the accumulated deficit by $344,000 as of December 31, 1999.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

      Income from investment securities had been recorded as unrealized gains during 2000 instead of investment income. Consequently, NetManage recorded an adjustment of $451,000 to recognize the investment income for fiscal 2000.

      NetManage had previously not reported cost of services revenue as a component of cost of revenues. Accordingly, NetManage recorded an adjustment to reclassify $14.1 million in operating expense to cost of services revenue for fiscal 2000 to reflect the cost of services revenue as a component of cost of revenues.

      NetManage’s accounts receivable reserve at December 31, 1999 was understated by approximately $600,000. Consequently, NetManage recorded an adjustment to decrease bad debt expense for 2000 by $600,000 and to increase accumulated deficit as of December 31, 1999 by the same amount, given that the shortfall in the reserve at December 31, 1999 resulted in an overstatement of bad debt expense for 2000.

      In connection with the reduction of the amortization period for goodwill and other intangible assets related to NetManage’s acquisition of FTP, as discussed above, NetManage recorded an adjustment in 2000 to increase amortization expense by $173,000.

      In addition to the above adjustments: (i) certain general and administrative expenses were adjusted for excess accruals totaling $114,000 (as discussed above), and (ii) foreign currency adjustments were recorded for various foreign currency transactions.

Additional adjustments

      NetManage recorded an adjustment to increase cash by $272,000 as of December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, pertaining to foreign currency balances that had been incorrectly included as a component of accumulated comprehensive loss.

      NetManage had recorded a deferred tax asset in the amount of $1,192,000, relating to pre-acquisition tax benefits of Simware in Canada, as other non-current assets as of December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999. As the deferred tax asset related to pre-acquisition investment tax credits should have been fully reserved in connection with the purchase accounting adjustments for the acquisition of Simware in December 1999, NetManage determined that an adjustment was required to increase goodwill and reduce other non-current assets by $1,192,000 as of December 31, 1999. As a result of the adjustment to goodwill, amortization expense was increased by $240,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2001, and 2000.

      NetManage recorded an adjustment to decrease goodwill and increase accumulated comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2000 by $357,000, relating to the utilization of pre-acquisition tax benefits of Wall Data that had been incorrectly recognized as a reduction of accumulated comprehensive loss. As a result of the adjustment to goodwill, amortization expense was reduced by approximately $119,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001.

      Management identified additional third party transactions that were improperly included within accumulated comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2000. Such transactions should have been recognized as a reduction of revenue. Consequently, an adjustment was recorded to remove these transactions from accumulated comprehensive loss and decrease license revenue by approximately $211,000 in 2000.

      In addition to the above adjustments, in 2000: (i) general and administrative expenses were adjusted by $89,000 to accrue for certain unrecorded expenses and to correct for certain transactions that had been previously recorded as accumulated comprehensive loss, (ii) sales and marketing expenses were adjusted by $70,000 to reduce certain excess accruals, and (iii) foreign currency translation loss was adjusted by $16,000 for various foreign currency transactions.

      In addition to the above adjustments, in 2001: (i) general and administrative expenses were reduced by $496,000 to eliminate certain excess accruals and to record transactions which were previously recorded as accumulated comprehensive loss, (ii) sales and marketing expenses were adjusted by $280,000 to accrue for

73

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

certain unrecorded expenses, (iii) foreign currency translation loss was adjusted by $8,000 for various foreign currency transactions, and (iv) $209,000 of current assets and $489,000 of current liabilities were reclassified as long term assets and liabilities, respectively.

      In addition to the above adjustments, accumulated deficit at December 31, 1999 was adjusted for (i) excess accruals totaling $157,000, and (ii) certain expense transactions totaling $170,000 which were previously recorded within accumulated comprehensive loss.

      As a result of the adjustments recorded to correct the accounting treatment afforded to the transactions described above, the accompanying 2001 and 2000 consolidated financial statements have been restated from amounts previously reported.

      On January 30, 2003, NetManage announced a restructuring of its operations designed to re-align its core business functions and reduce operating expenses. As part of the restructuring, NetManage reduced its workforce by more than 20% and expects to record a restructuring charge to operating expenses in the first quarter of 2003. In accordance with SFAS No. 146 which was adopted effective January 1, 2003 (see Note 2), NetManage’s restructuring charge will be recognized when this liability is incurred and will include expenses related to facilities no longer needed for company operations, and employee and other related expenses for employee terminations. NetManage anticipates that the execution of the restructuring actions will be funded from internal operations and existing cash balances.

Quarterly financial data (unaudited)

      We have experienced, and expect to experience in future periods, significant fluctuations in operating results that may be caused by many factors, including, among others, those described above within “Factors that may affect our future results and financial condition” of Item 7, Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations. Our future revenues and results of operations could be subject to significant volatility and may also be unpredictable due to shipment patterns typical of the software industry. A significant percentage of our net revenues are generally recognized in the third month of each quarter and tend to occur in the latter half of that month. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indications of future performance.

      The following table sets forth unaudited consolidated quarterly financial information for 2002 and 2001. This unaudited information has been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, includes all normal and reoccurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the information for the periods presented.

      As discussed in Note 10 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, NetManage has restated its Consolidated Financial Statements to correct errors in the accounting treatment originally afforded to certain transactions that had been recorded in 2000 and 2001 and the first three quarters of 2002. In connection with the restatement, management identified certain adjustments affecting the previously reported unaudited consolidated quarterly financial information for 2002 and 2001 as described below

      The 2002 quarterly adjustments affected revenues, sales and marketing expense, amortization of intangibles and the provision for income taxes. The net effect of the adjustments was a decrease of $8,000, an increase of $59,000 and an increase of $75,000 to the net loss for the three month periods ended March 31, 2002, June 30, 2002 and September 30, 2002, respectively.

      The 2001 quarterly adjustments, resulting from the transactions described in further detail in Note 10 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, affected general and administrative expense, sales & marketing expense, amortization of intangibles and foreign currency transaction losses. The net effect of the adjustments was an increase of $182,000 and a decrease of $372,000 in the net loss for the three month periods ended March 31, 2001 and June 30, 2001, respectively, and an increase of $44,000 in the net loss for each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2001.

Item 9 — Changes in and disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure.

      On June 14, 2002, NetManage decided to dismiss its independent public accountants, Arthur Andersen LLP, or Andersen, and to select Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as its new independent accountants for the year ending December 31, 2002. This determination was recommended by NetManage’s Audit Committee and approved by NetManage’s Board of Directors.

      Andersen’s reports on NetManage’s financial statements for each of the years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

      During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the interim period between December 31, 2001 and the date Andersen was dismissed there were no disagreements between NetManage and Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Andersen’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their report for such years; and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

      NetManage provided Andersen with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested a letter from Andersen stating whether it agrees with the disclosures contained herein. Andersen provided such a letter and NetManage filed this letter with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 24, 2002.

      During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and through the date Andersen was dismissed neither NetManage nor anyone acting on their behalf consulted Deloitte & Touche LLP with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on NetManage financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events listed in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

PART III

 
Item 10 — Directors and executive officers of the registrant.

      Our definitive Proxy Statement will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the solicitation of proxies for our Annual Meeting of Stockholders, to be held on May 30, 2003. Certain information required by this item is incorporated by reference from the information contained in the Proxy Statement under the captions “Election of Directors” and “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management — Compliance with the Reporting Requirements of Section 16(a).”

      Reference is made to the information regarding executive officers appearing in Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which information is hereby incorporated by reference.

Item 13 — Certain relationships and related transactions.

      The information required by this item is incorporated herein by reference from the information contained in our Proxy Statement under the caption “Certain Transactions.”

Item 14 — Controls and procedures.

      a. Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, NetManage’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that NetManage’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, are generally effective, but also concluded that there are several weaknesses in NetManage’s Information Technology (IT) area, including the need for formal IT policies and procedures that address password administration, system backup and recovery procedures, physical security controls and business continuity planning. Weaknesses were also noted with respect to the elimination of inter-company transactions, financial management review of international subsidiaries’ financial information, and proper training of finance department personnel. In view of the restatement of the 2001 and 2000 financial statements, and the interim financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2002, NetManage has dedicated resources to correct these issues and enhance the understanding and implementation of NetManage’s controls and procedures.

      b. Changes in internal controls. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
