Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation

     First Virtual Communications, Inc. (the “Company”) has prepared the accompanying financial data for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2003 pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2003, consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, and consolidated cash flow activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

     The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2002 that has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements.

     On June 26, 2003 the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 1-for-5 reverse split of the Company’s common stock, effective at 5:00 pm EDT on June 27, 2003, with trading commencing on a post-reverse stock split basis on market open on Monday June 30, 2003. The reverse split was previously approved by the stockholders at the Company’s June 13, 2003 Annual Stockholders Meeting. As of 5:00 pm EDT on June 27, 2003, each five shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock was automatically combined and converted into one share of common stock. In addition, the Company made adjustments to its outstanding options and warrants to reflect the reverse stock split. All outstanding common stock and outstanding option and warrant numbers reflected in this Quarterly Report, reflect the 1-for-5 reverse stock split.

Concentrations of credit risk

     Revenue and accounts receivable of customers comprising more than 10% of revenue or receivable are summarized as follows:

2. Stock Based Compensation

     As of June 30, 2003, the Company maintained stock option plans under which the Company may grant incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to employees, consultants and non-employee directors. The Company has chosen to account for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations.

     The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation (in thousands, except per share data):

     In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure — an amendment of SFAS 123” (SFAS 148). This statement amends SFAS 123 to provide 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 123 to require 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. The Company has adopted the annual disclosure provisions of SFAS 148 and adopted the interim disclosure provisions for financial reports beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2003.

     The weighted-average estimated grant-date fair value of options granted under the Company’s various stock option plans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 was $2.95, $2.60, $2.90 and $3.54, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the fair value of each stock option on the date of grant was determined using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:

                                 
    Three Months Ended June 30,   Six Months Ended June 30,
   
 
    2003   2002   2003   2002
   
 
 
 
Risk-free interest rate
    2.5 %     3.0 %     2.5 %     3.0 %

Option term (in years)
    5       5       5       5  
Dividend yield
    0.0 %     0.0 %     0.0 %     0.0 %

3. Additional consideration for Acquisition of FVC.COM (UK) Ltd.

     In May 1999, the Company acquired a controlling interest in FVC.COM (UK) Ltd., a distributor of the Company’s products in the United Kingdom and the Middle East. The Company acquired 52% of the outstanding stock of a newly incorporated holding company that owned 100% of the shares of this entity, in exchange for a cash payment of $750,000. The transaction was accounted for

as a purchase; accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair market values at the date of acquisition.

     In July 2002, the Company acquired the remaining 48% interest of FVC.COM (UK) Ltd. in a transaction accounted for as a purchase business combination. The purchase price was comprised of cash consideration of $437,000, including direct acquisition costs of $178,000 for legal and consulting fees. Contingent on certain events, the purchase price further increased by $35,000 based on (1) a percentage of the gross profit of the United Kingdom sales territory for the period from June 1, 2002 to December 31, 2002 and (2) the results of collection of certain receivables outstanding as of the acquisition date. Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company fully collected the residual balance of the receivables as of the acquisition date. In the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the purchase price increased by $98,000, for a total final cash consideration of $570,000. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair market values at the date of acquisition. At the acquisition date, the book value of the assets and liabilities acquired approximated fair value, accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to goodwill. In the second quarter of 2003, the Company made the aggregate additional consideration payment of $132,000.

4. Non-recurring Charges

     During the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company incurred $838,000 of non-recurring charges related to the relocation of the Company’s California office from Santa Clara to Redwood City and the closure of the Company’s India operations.

     The non-recurring charges for the three and six months ended 2003 and 2002 were as follows (in thousands):

                                       
          For the Three Months Ended   For the Six Months Ended

  $ 838     $     $ 838     $  
 
   
     
     
     
 

5. Short Term Investments

     Management determines the appropriate classification of short-term investments in marketable securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value as determined by the most recently traded price of each security at the balance sheet date. The net unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are reported as a component of comprehensive loss, net of tax. The specific identification method is used to compute the realized gains and losses on debt and equity securities.

     The Company regularly monitors and evaluates the realizable value of its marketable securities. If events and circumstances indicate that a decline in the value of these assets has occurred and is other than temporary, the Company records a charge to investment income (expense). At June 30, 2003, all short-term investments have been classified as “available-for-sale securities.”

     Marketable securities are comprised as follows (in thousands):

                 
    June 30,   December 31,
    2003   2002
   
 
Certificate of deposit

7. Net Loss Per Share

     Basic loss per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excluding contingently issuable or returnable shares, such as shares of unvested restricted common stock. Diluted loss per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares outstanding.

     As a result of the losses incurred by the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, all potential common shares were anti-dilutive and were excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculations for such periods.

     The following table summarizes securities outstanding that were not included in the calculations of diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

     The common stock warrants are exercisable at $1.55 to $32.65 per share and expire at various times from June 3, 2000 through April 12, 2008. The stock options outstanding at June 30, 2003 had a weighted average exercise price per share of $11.26 and expire beginning in June 2004 through June 2013.

8. Warranties

     The Company sells software products. We provide for future warranty costs upon product delivery or from the purchase date. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the product sold, the country in which the customers are located and agreements we have with various customers.

     Software products generally carry a 90 day warranty on the software media from the date of delivery or purchase. Otherwise, software products are sold on an as-is basis. Longer warranty periods may be provided on a contract-by-contract basis and are limited. Our liability under these warranties is to replace defective media and in some cases to provide a corrected copy of any portion of the software found not to be in substantial compliance with the published specifications in the product documentation. In such cases, if the Company is unable to make the products conform with published specifications, the Company may be obligated to refund the amount actually paid by customers.

     Factors that affect our warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical experience and management’s judgment regarding anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim. We assess the adequacy of our recorded warranty liabilities every quarter and make adjustments to the liability if necessary. The Company has gone through the transition from being primarily a hardware-based company to a software-based company since the acquisition of CUseeMe Networks on June 19, 2001, and has discontinued offering hardware products to the marketplace other than products currently in inventory.

     Changes in our warranty liability, which is included as a component of “Accrued liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, during the second quarter ended June 30, 2003 were as follows:

10. Litigation

     On February 11, 2003, the Company received an adversarial complaint filed by Visitalk.com in connection with Visitalk.com’s reorganization proceedings in the United States Bankruptcy Court District of Arizona, alleging that CUseeMe Networks, which was acquired by the Company on June 19, 2001, breached a 1999 Strategic Partnership Agreement and sought damages of $435,000. In April, the Company responded to the complaint with a Motion to Stay Proceedings and to compel Matter to Proceed to Arbitration. In June 2003, the parties reached a mutual agreement to dismiss the adversarial action with prejudice, exchange a mutual general release of all claims and waive attorney’s fees and costs. The parties have not yet executed a formal settlement agreement and the settlement will not become effective until approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

11. New Accounting Pronouncements

     In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic entities. For nonpublic entities, mandatorily redeemable financial instruments are subject to the provisions of this Statement for the first period beginning after December 15, 2003. It is to be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of the statement and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption. The Company has not determined the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 150 will have on its financial position or results of operations.

12. Subsequent Events

     On July 25, 2003, the Company offered a voluntary employee stock option exchange program to its employees and members of its board of directors. Under the exchange offer, eligible employees and members of the board of directors have the opportunity to exchange their outstanding stock options for new options to be granted under the Company’s 1999 Equity Incentive Plan and 1997 Equity Incentive Plan, pursuant to the terms of the replacement option agreements between the Company and its employees and members of the board of directors. Under the exchange offer, all outstanding options are eligible options. The exchange offer period will expire on August 22, 2003, unless extended. Options accepted for exchange will be cancelled and exchanged for replacement options covering one share for each three shares covered by the exchanged options; provided, however, that under the exchange offer, options granted in the six-month period immediately preceding the offer date that are cancelled due to the participation in the offer will be replaced by the same number of replacement options. The replacement options will be granted on the replacement grant date, February 23, 2004, unless the offer is extended, in which case the replacement grant date will be extended by a corresponding number of days, and will have an exercise price at least equal to the closing price of First Virtual Communications’ common stock on that date. The new options will vest in equivalent monthly increments over a 24 month period commencing with the replacement grant date. Replacement options granted to employees located outside the United States may be subject to different vesting terms than those described above.

The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained herein. The Company’s expectations and the events, conditions and circumstances on which these forward-looking statements are based, may change.

Overview

     The Company delivers integrated, software technologies for rich media web conferencing and collaboration solutions. The Company combines its expertise in networking systems, real-time audio and video technology, and web-based collaboration to provide integrated voice, video, data, text and streaming media solutions for a wide range of rich media enterprise applications, including web conferences, broadcasts, video-on-demand, videoconferences and video calls over converged multi-service networks. The Company was incorporated in California in October 1993 and reincorporated in Delaware in December 1997. The Company first shipped its products in 1995.

     On June 19, 2001, the Company and CUseeMe Networks completed a merger, pursuant to which CUseeMe Networks became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company is now able to provide a broad range of integrated rich media web conferencing solutions that run seamlessly across multiple network types to enterprise customers and service providers worldwide.

     In the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recorded $5.9 million and $11.3 million in revenue, respectively, a decrease of 11% and 15% compared to the same periods of the previous year. The Company derived its revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and fiscal 2002 from sales to distributors, original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, value-added resellers, or VARS, federal government agencies, enterprise customers and telecommunications service providers.

     The following table summarizes the percentage of total revenue by enterprise customers and service providers:

                                 
    For the Three Months Ended   For the Six Months Ended
    June 30,   June 30,
   
 
    2003   2002   2003   2002

Total
    100 %     100 %     100 %     100 %

     The Company’s internal sales force qualifies and stimulates end-user demand, and manages the Company’s strategic relationships with its distribution partners, including OEMs, VARs and systems integrators. At June 30, 2003, Comp View, Inc. and General Services Administration, or GSA, accounted for 35% and 12%, respectively, of total accounts receivable. At June 30, 2002, both Net One Systems Co. Ltd. and AT&T Corporation accounted for 20% of total accounts receivable.

     The Company maintains sales offices in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, China and Japan, and distributes its products in both Europe and Asia through resellers and distributors in more than 25 countries. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, approximately 30%, 28%, 39% and 30%, respectively, of the Company’s sales were generated from customers outside of the United States. The Company expects that revenue from shipments to customers outside of the United States will continue to represent a significant portion of its future revenue. In addition, the Company believes that a small portion of its sales through OEMs, resellers and integrators are ultimately sold to international end-users. Revenue from the Company’s international operations are subject to various risks, including seasonality, longer payment cycles, changes in regulatory requirements and tariffs,

     Software revenue consists of revenue from the sale of the Click to Meet™, or CTM, family of software products. Software revenue increased $1.3 million to $3.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of 70% from $1.9 million in the same period of last year. The increase resulted from the Company’s transition from sales of hardware-based ATM legacy products to software-based products and the expansion of its customer base worldwide. The Company is uncertain of future software revenue.

     Product revenue consists of revenue from the sale of ATM legacy hardware products, including hardware products sourced from third parties and sold by the Company. Product revenue decreased $2.8 million to $739,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of 79% from $3.6 million in the same period of last year. The decrease was primarily a result of the lower demand and lower average selling prices for hardware-based ATM legacy products. Additionally, the Company provided only limited marketing and promotional support to these products in 2002. The Company has notified its customers that it will not be offering ATM legacy products for sale subsequent to May 1, 2003 other than products currently in inventory.

     Support service revenue consists of software license subscriptions, hardware maintenance, training, installation and consulting revenue. Support service revenue increased $730,000 to $1.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of 63% from $1.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002, primarily due to an increase in the sale of software subscriptions for the Company’s Click to Meet product family.

     Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue consists primarily of costs associated with the purchase of components from outside manufacturers or the manufacture of the Company’s products by outside manufacturers and related costs of freight, inventory obsolescence, royalties, warranties and customer support costs, which were charged against income in the period incurred. Total costs of revenue decreased by 73%, or $2.7 million, to $991,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, from $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of sales declined to 17% for the three months ended June 30, 2003, from 55% for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The Company expects costs of revenue as a percent of revenue to remain in a range of 15% to 20% for the balance of 2003. Gross margin represents the difference between revenue and cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue. Overall gross margin in the three months ended June 30, 2003 was 83%, compared to 45% in the comparable period of 2002.

     Cost of software revenue was $277,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $184,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The gross margin on software revenue increased to 92% for the three months ended June 30, 2003, from 90% for the three months ended June 30, 2002.

     Cost of product revenue decreased by 93%, or $2.8 million, to $198,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, from $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease was primarily due to the lower sales volume of product revenue and the sales of fully reserved legacy ATM inventory of $195,000, which had no associated cost of revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2003, due to inventory writedowns in prior periods and a provision for excess and obsolete inventory of $1.0 million related to legacy ATM products in the three months ended June 30, 2002. The gross margin on product revenue increased to 73% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from 15% for the three months ended June 30, 2002, also primarily due to sales of fully reserved inventory of $195,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2003 and the provision for excess and obsolete inventory of $1.0 in the three months ended June 30, 2002.

     Cost of support service revenue was $516,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $442,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The gross margin on support service revenues increased to 73% for the three months ended June 30, 2003, from 61% for the three months ended June 30, 2002, primarily due to the increase in the revenue from support services with relatively fixed support costs.

     Research and Development. Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel costs, costs of contractors and outside consultants, supplies and materials expenses, equipment depreciation and overhead costs. Research and development expense remained flat at $2.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. As a percentage of total revenue, research and development expense increased to 41% for the three months ended June 30, 2003, from 37% for the three months ended June 30, 2002, primarily as a result of the lower sales during the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to relatively fixed research and development expenses. The Company expects research and development expenses, as expressed in absolute dollars, to remain approximately at current levels for the balance of 2003.

     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expense includes personnel and related overhead costs for sales and marketing, costs of outside contractors, advertising, trade shows and other related marketing and promotional expenses. Sales and marketing expense increased $403,000 to $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of 17% compared to the $2.4 million for the

three months ended June 30, 2002. The increase of expenses in the second quarter of 2003 was primarily due to expansion of our Asia sales office with higher personnel and other expenses. The increase as a percentage of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2002, was primarily due to lower revenue and higher sales and marketing expense during the three months ended June 30, 2003. The Company expects sales and marketing expense, as expressed in absolute dollars, to increase incrementally each quarter during the balance of 2003. The increases will be primarily related to increased staffing in both the sales and the marketing functions, and, to the extent that revenues may increase in future quarters, due to higher sales commissions.

     General and Administrative. General and administrative expense includes personnel and related overhead costs for finance, human resources, product operations and general management and the amortization of intangible assets. General and administrative expense decreased $1.0 million to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, a 37% decrease from the $2.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in the second quarter of 2003 primarily was due to a reduction of $671,000 in bad debt expense after the Company enhanced credit policies and $363,000 in amortization expense resulting from the writedown of intangibles at December 31, 2002 and reductions of costs in other areas. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expense decreased to 30% in the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared to 42% for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2003, primarily reflects the lower expense from the comparable period of 2002 offset in part by the impact of lower revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The Company expects general and administrative expenses, as expressed in absolute dollars, to remain approximately at current levels for the balance of 2003.

     Other non-recurring costs. The $838,000 of one-time charges in the second quarter of 2003 includes $678,000 due to the relocation of the Company’s California office from Santa Clara to Redwood City and $160,000 costs related to the discontinuation of the Company’s India operations. The costs of the office relocation include $350,000 of loss from retirement of fixed assets, $259,000 of refurbishment cost and $69,000 of moving cost. The Company incurred no non-recurring costs in the three months ended June 30, 2002.

     Other Income (expense), Net. Other income (expense), net, consists primarily of interest income earned on short-term investments and cash balances, offset by interest expense relating to the Company’s credit facilities and long-term debt, if any. Other income (expense) totaled $(34,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $48,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decline was primarily due to the financing costs related to the term loan with Silicon Valley Bank during the quarter and a decline in interest income as a result of lower market interest rates and lower cash balances.

     Minority Interest in Consolidated Subsidiary. Minority interest reflects the interest of minority stockholders in the operating results of the Company’s consolidated subsidiary in the United Kingdom. In July 2002, the Company acquired the remaining 48% minority interest in this subsidiary for $570,000. For the three months ended June 30, 2002, the amount reflects the portion of losses in this subsidiary that were attributable to minority stockholders. There was no minority interest in the three months ended June 30, 2003.

     Income Taxes. The Company has incurred losses since its inception. No tax benefit was recorded for any period presented, as the Company believes that, based on the history of such losses and other factors, the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize the benefit of these net operating losses, and thus a full valuation reserve has been recorded.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2002

     Software revenue primarily consists of revenue from the sale of the Click to Meet (family of software products, which include Click to Meet Express, Click to Meet Select, Click to Meet Premier and Click to Meet Conference Server. Software revenue increased $660,000 to $6.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of 11% from $6.0 million in the same period in 2002. The increase in software revenue resulted from the Company’s transition from sales of hardware-based ATM legacy products to software-based products and the expansion of its customer base worldwide, offset in part by a decrease in licensing fees from a reseller in Japan pursuant to a licensing agreement which expired in September 2002. The Company is uncertain of future software revenue.

     Product revenue includes sales of ATM legacy hardware products, including hardware products sourced from third parties and sold by the Company. Product revenue decreased $3.5 million to $1.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of 72% from $4.9 million in the same period in 2002. The decrease was primarily a result of lower demand and lower average selling prices for hardware-based ATM legacy products. Additionally, the Company provided only limited marketing and promotional support for these products in 2003. The Company has notified its customers that it will not be offering ATM legacy products for sale subsequent to May 1, 2003 other than products currently in inventory.

     Support service revenue consists of software license subscriptions, hardware maintenance, training, installation and consulting revenue. Support service revenue increased $888,000 to $3.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of 38% from $2.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002, primarily due to an increase in the sale of software subscriptions for the Company’s Click to Meet product family.

     Costs of Revenue. Cost of revenue consists primarily of costs associated with the purchase of components from outside manufacturers or the manufacture of the Company’s products by outside manufacturers and related costs of freight, inventory obsolescence, royalties, warranties and customer support costs, which were charged against income in the period incurred. Total costs of revenue decreased by $3.1 million, or 64%, to $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, from $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of sales declined to 16% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from 38% for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The Company expects costs of revenue as a percent of revenue to remain in a range of 15% to 20% for the balance of 2003. Gross margin represents the difference between revenue and cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue. Overall gross margin in the six months ended June 30, 2003 was 84%, compared to 62% in the comparable period of 2002.

     Cost of software revenue was $443,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $343,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The gross margin on software revenue decreased to 93% for the six months ended June 30, 2003, from 94% for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

     Cost of product revenue decreased by 89%, or $3.4 million, to $417,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, from $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease was primarily due to the lower sales volume of product revenue and the sales of fully reserved legacy ATM inventory of $351,000, which had no associated cost of revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2003, due to inventory writedowns in prior periods, and a provision for excess and obsolete inventory of $1.0 million related to legacy ATM products in the six months ended June 30, 2002. The gross margin on product revenue increased to 70% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from 23% for the six months ended June 30, 2002, also primarily due to sales of fully reserved inventory of $351,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2003 and the provision for excess and obsolete inventory of $1.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002.

     Cost of support service revenue was $962,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $877,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The gross margin on support service revenues increased to 70% for the six months ended June 30, 2003, from 62% for the six months ended June 30, 2002, primarily due to the increase in the revenue from support services with relatively fixed support costs.

     Research and Development. Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel costs, costs of contractors and outside consultants, supplies and materials expenses, equipment depreciation and overhead costs. Research and development expense decreased $306,000 to $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of 6% compared to the $5.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in absolute dollars was principally due to the lower spending in professional fees and other expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2003. As a percentage of total revenue, research and development expense increased to 43% for the six months ended June 30, 2003, from 39% for the six months ended June 30, 2002, primarily as a result of the lower sales during the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to relatively fixed research and development expenses. The Company

expects research and development expenses, as expressed in absolute dollars, to remain approximately at current levels for the balance of 2003.

     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expense includes personnel and related overhead costs for sales and marketing, costs of outside contractors, advertising, trade shows and other related marketing and promotional expenses. Sales and marketing expense increased $1.1 million to $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of 25% compared to the $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2003 increased $535,000, primarily due to expansion of our Asia sales office with higher personnel and other expenses and higher compensation expense resulting from our acquisition of our FVC.Com (Asia) distributor). In the same period of 2002, the Company recorded a reduction in sales and marketing expense of $359,000, reflecting collection of a customer receivable that had previously been deemed uncollectible. The increase as a percentage of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2002, was primarily due to lower revenue and higher sales and marketing expense during the current period. The Company expects sales and marketing expense, as expressed in absolute dollars, to increase incrementally each quarter during the balance of 2003. The increases are expected to be primarily related to increased staffing in both the sales and the marketing functions, and, to the extent that revenues may increase in future quarters, due to higher sales commissions.

     General and Administrative. General and administrative expense includes personnel and related overhead costs for finance, human resources, information technology, product operations and general management and the amortization of intangible assets. General and administrative expense decreased $1.7 million to $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, a 33% decrease from the $5.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in the six months ended June 30, 2003 primarily was due to a reduction of $610,000 in bad debt expense after the Company enhanced credit policies and $1.1 million in amortization expense resulting from the writedown of intangibles at December 31, 2002 and reductions of costs in other areas. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expense decreased to 30% in the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to 38% for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003, primarily reflects the lower expense from the comparable period of 2002 offset in part by the impact of lower revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The Company expects general and administrative expenses, as expressed in absolute dollars, to remain approximately at current levels for the balance of 2003.

     Other non-recurring costs. The $838,000 of one-time charges in the six months ended June 30, 2003 includes $678,000 due to the relocation of the Company’s California office from Santa Clara to Redwood City and $160,000 for costs related to the discontinuation of the Company’s India operations. The cost of the office relocation includes $350,000 of loss from retirement of fixed assets, $259,000 of refurbishment cost and $69,000 of moving cost. The Company incurred no non-recurring costs in the six months ended June 30, 2002.

     Other Income (expense), Net. Other income, net, consists primarily of interest income earned on short-term investments and cash balances, offset by interest expense relating to the Company’s credit facilities and long-term debt, if any. Other income (expense) totaled $(7,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $92,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decline was primarily due to the financing costs related to the term loan with Silicon Valley Bank during the six months ended June 30, 2003 and a decline in interest income as a result of lower market interest rates and lower cash balances.

     Minority Interest in Consolidated Subsidiary. Minority interest reflects the interest of minority stockholders in the operating results of the Company’s consolidated subsidiary in the United Kingdom. In July 2002, the Company acquired the remaining 48% minority interest in this subsidiary for $570,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the amount reflects the portion of losses in this subsidiary that were attributable to minority stockholders. There was no minority interest in the six months ended June 30, 2003.

     Income Taxes. The Company has incurred losses since its inception. No tax benefit was recorded for any period presented, as the Company believes that, based on the history of such losses and other factors, the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize the benefit of these net operating losses or other deferred tax assets, and thus a full valuation reserve has been recorded.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Since inception, the Company has financed its operations primarily through private and public placements of equity securities, revenue from sales of the Company’s products and services and to a lesser extent through certain credit facilities and long-term debt, including the $3.0 million of term loan drawn down on June 23, 2003. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $6.2 million.

     In order to improve liquidity and reduce costs, the Company completed the following actions in April 2003. The Company reached agreement with its bank for a $3 million credit facility that may be used by the Company at any time prior to December 31, 2003. The interest rate is equal to the bank’s prime rate plus 2.25% with a floor at 6.5%. The Company paid a $22,500 commitment fee at the closing and is subject to a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum on any unused borrowings, with this fee paid quarterly. Funds drawn under the facility will be recorded as a secured term loan, fully amortized and repaid over a three-year period. The term loan facility is secured by all of the Company’s assets, including intellectual property rights, and contains certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of cash deposits at the bank of not less than $2.9 million, as well as a liquidity covenant. The liquidity covenant requires that the sum of (i) the amount of the Company’s unrestricted cash on deposit in the bank, plus (ii) the Company’s eligible accounts receivable, divided by (iii) the amount outstanding under the loan agreement be at all times equal to 2.0 or higher. The liquidity covenant is only applicable if the loan is drawn down. On June 23, 2003, $3.0 million of term loan was drawn down and outstanding.

     The Company also entered into a private equity line financing agreement with Ralph Ungermann, Executive Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, under which the Company may require Mr. Ungermann to purchase up to $1 million of its common stock at a purchase price of $1.55 per share during the period from April 14, 2003 through April 13, 2004. The Company may draw down funds under the private equity line financing agreement up to four times during the 12-month term of the agreement, with each draw for a minimum of $250,000.

     In April 2003, the Company also signed an agreement with its landlord to terminate the Company’s lease for its Santa Clara, California headquarters and executed a new lease that will reduce annual rental expense and cash payments by approximately $900,000 for each of the next five years.

     The Company has experienced significant net operating losses since inception. In the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company incurred losses of $5.0 million and used $4.9 million of cash in its operating activities. In the comparable period of 2002, the Company incurred net losses of $6.2 million and used $3.1 million of cash in its operating activities. Management currently expects that operating losses and negative cash flows will continue for the foreseeable future and that the Company’s existing cash and investments, together with the funds provided pursuant to its credit facility with its bank and the financing agreement with Mr. Ungermann are adequate to fund the Company’s operations through the first quarter of 2004. However, the Company’s cash requirements depend on several factors, including the rate of market acceptance of its products and services, the ability to expand and retain its customer base and other factors. If the Company fails to achieve its planned revenue or expense targets, management believes that it has the plans, intent and ability to curtail capital and operating spending to ensure that cash and investments will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements through March 31, 2004.

     In order to pursue business opportunities, the Company will be required to seek equity investments from existing or potential strategic partners in the future. Should the Company sell additional equity, the sale may result in dilution to the Company’s current stockholders. The Company also plans to raise equity from the public and/or private equity markets that will likely result in dilution of the Company’s current stockholders. There can be no assurance that any financing will be available at acceptable terms or at all.

     In the six months ended June 30, 2003, cash used in operating activities totaled $4.9 million, compared to $3.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002. The change in cash provided or used by operating activities reflects our operating performance and the timing of receipts and disbursements. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, net cash used in operating activities of $4.9 million was comprised of the net loss of $5.0 million and a $1.3 million increase in current net assets, partially offset by $1.5 million of adjustments for non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization and a loss on disposal of fixed assets. The increase in current net assets consisted of increases in receivables of $477,000 and prepaid expenses and other assets of $353,000, reductions in accounts payable of $147,000, accrued liabilities of $681,000 and deferred revenue of $217,000, offset in part by a $535,000 reduction in inventory. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, net cash used in operating activities was $3.1 million. This was comprised of the net loss of $6.2 million and a $107,000 increase in current net assets, partially offset by $3.1 million of adjustments for non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization and increases in the provisions for doubtful accounts and inventory. The increase in current net assets consisted of increases in receivables of $441,000 and prepaid expenses and other assets of $121,000 and a reduction in accrued liabilities of $1.2 million, offset in part by a $549,000 reduction in inventory and increases in accounts payable of $104,000 and deferred revenue of $1.2 million.

     Cash used in investment activities totaled $461,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, primarily for the acquisition of property and equipment. Cash provided by investment activities totaled $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, primarily resulting from $1.8 million of net sales and maturities of short-term investments, partially offset by the acquisition of property and equipment.

     Cash provided by financing activities was $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, principally consisting of proceeds from a term loan facility with our bank. Cash provided by financing activities was $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, primarily from the issuance of stock.

     As of June 30, 2003, our contractual obligation and other commitments were as follows :

New Accounting Pronouncements.

     In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic entities. For nonpublic entities, mandatorily redeemable financial instruments are subject to the provisions of this Statement for the first period beginning after December 15, 2003. It is to be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of the statement and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption. The Company has not determined the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 150 will have on its financial position or results of operations.

Risk Factors

     In addition to the other information provided in this Quarterly Report, the following risk factors should be considered in evaluating the Company and its business.

The Company has a history of operating losses and will incur losses in the future. The Company may never generate sufficient revenue to achieve profitability.

     The Company has incurred operating losses in each quarter since it commenced operations in 1993. The Company expects to continue to devote substantial resources to its research and development and sales and marketing activities. As a result, the Company expects that it will continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future. At June 30, 2003, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $116.6 million.

The Company’s quarterly financial results are expected to fluctuate and may cause the price of the Company’s common stock to fall.

     The Company has experienced in the past, and is likely to experience in the future, fluctuations in revenue, gross margin and operating results. Various factors could contribute to the fluctuations in revenue, gross margin and operating results in the future, including the Company’s:

19


Table of Contents

    success in developing our rich media Web conferencing business and in developing, introducing and shipping new products and product enhancements, particularly for Click to Meet) product family, including the Click to Meet Conference Server;
 
    success in accurately forecasting demand for new orders that may have short lead-times before required shipment, product mix, percentage of revenue derived from original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, versus distributors or resellers;
 
    new product introductions and price reductions by competitors;
 
    results from strategic collaborations;
 
    use of OEMs, distributors, resellers, and other third parties;
 
    ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel;
 
    research and development efforts and success; and
 
    selling, general and administrative expenditures.

     Additionally, the Company’s operating results may vary significantly depending on a number of factors that are outside of its control. Further, a significant portion of the Company’s expenses are fixed. The Company has made significant progress in reducing its operating expenses in the last fiscal year and during the first six months of 2003 and expects that operating expenses will decrease in the future due to continued expense reduction measures. However, to the extent that operating expenses are not reduced and to the extent that revenue or gross margin cannot be increased, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected. Due to all the foregoing factors, it is likely that in some future quarter, as at times in past quarters, the Company’s results of operations will be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors, resulting in a negative impact on the Company’s common stock price.

If the carrying value of the Company’s long lived assets is not recoverable, an impairment loss must be recognized which could adversely affect the Company’s financial results.

     Certain events or changes in circumstances would require the Company to assess the recoverability of the carrying amount of long-lived assets. In the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recorded impairment charges of $3.3 million relating to technology acquired in a prior acquisition and $6.6 million relating to goodwill. In addition, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS No. 142, in July 2001, whereby goodwill must be evaluated annually and whenever events or circumstances occur which indicate goodwill might be impaired. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. The Company will continue to evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our long-lived assets, and may incur substantial impairment charges that could adversely affect the Company’s financial results in the future.

The Company’s success depends on the market’s acceptance of rich media web conferencing services and the Company’s products, including Click to Meet and the Multi Conferencing Unit.

     The Company’s success depends in part on the market’s acceptance of rich media web conferencing services and the Company’s products, including Click to Meet and the Multi Conferencing Unit, or MCU. Potential end-users must accept video applications as a viable alternative to face-to-face meetings and conventional classroom-based learning. New applications, such as the use of video conferencing in marketing, selling and manufacturing, are still in the development stage. The Company’s contracts with telecommunications service providers to provide video and web conferencing solutions are in the early stage and only recently has the Company received significant revenue from this market segment. If rich media, web conferencing and broadband video services fail to achieve broad commercial acceptance or if such acceptance is delayed, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially adversely affected. The Company anticipates that growth in the foreseeable future will come from the sale of its Click to Meet and MCU products and services. Broad market acceptance of these products and services is therefore critical to the Company’s operating success.

The Company faces potential delisting from The Nasdaq SmallCap Market. If delisting occurs, the market price and market liquidity of the Company’s common stock would be materially adversely affected.

     The Company’s common stock currently is listed on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Pursuant to its rules, The Nasdaq National Market delisted the Company’s shares from the Nasdaq National Market based on the shares trading below $1.00 per share on The Nasdaq National Market for a period of 30 consecutive trading days. On September 9, 2002, the Company’s shares began trading on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market. In October 2002, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq advising it that the Company’s common stock must have a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days by March 26, 2003 in order to continue trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, subject to appeal by the Company. On April 1, 2003, the Company received an additional letter from Nasdaq advising that, based on recent Nasdaq modifications to the bid price rules, it would be granted an additional 90 calendar day period within which to remedy the bid price deficiency. To demonstrate compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, the Company implemented a 1-for-5 reverse stock split on June 27, 2003. After demonstrating a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days, the Company regained compliance with the Nasdaq Small Cap Market. However, on July 31, 2003, the Company received an additional letter from Nasdaq indicating that as of July 30, 2003, the Company failed to comply with Nasdaq rules that require that the Company have a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity or $35 million market value of listed securities or $500,000 of net income from continuing operations for the most recently completed fiscal year. The Company has to respond to Nasdaq by August 14, 2003 and advise Nasdaq of its plans to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Small Cap listing requirements.

     If delisting from Nasdaq occurs, the trading of the Company’s common stock is likely to be conducted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, which will have a materially adverse affect on the market price of the Company’s common stock and on the ability of stockholders and investors to buy and sell the common stock. If delisting occurs, you may lose some or all of your investment.

The Company’s inability to secure additional funding could adversely effect it business.

     We believe the Company has adequate cash and access to cash to meet its anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements through the first quarter of 2004. However, the Company plans to raise additional funds through debt sources and/or the issuance of equity securities. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of existing stockholders of the Company will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution, and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of the Company’s common stock. Additional financing may not be available when needed or on terms favorable to the Company, or at all. Additionally, if delisting from Nasdaq occurs, it will be more difficult to raise additional funds. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results. The Company may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of its development programs for its products and may be unable to take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures.

The Company’s software products may contain undetected defects.

     Software developed by the Company or developed by others and incorporated by the Company into its products may contain significant undetected errors, especially when first released or as new versions are released. Although the Company’s software products are tested before commercial release, errors in the products may be found after customers begin to use the software. Any defects in the Company’s current or future products may result in significant decreases in revenue or increases in expenses because of adverse publicity, reduced orders, product returns, uncollectible accounts receivable, delays in collecting accounts receivable, and additional and unexpected costs of further product development to correct the defects.

The Company’s common stock price is volatile.

     The market price of the Company’s common stock has been extremely volatile in the past and, like that of other technology companies, is likely to be volatile in the future, depending upon many factors, including:

    fluctuations in the Company’s financial results;
 
    technological innovations or new commercial products developed by the Company or its competitors;
 
    establishment of and success of corporate partnerships or licensing arrangements;
 
    announcements by the Company or others regarding the acquisition of technologies, products or companies;
 
    regulatory changes and developments that affect the Company’s business;

21


Table of Contents

    developments or disputes concerning patent and proprietary rights and other legal matters;
 
    an adverse outcome from pending or any future legal matters;
 
    issuance of new or changed stock market analyst reports and/or recommendations; and
 
    economic and other external factors; and
 
    failure to satisfy the Nasdaq listing requirements.

     One or more of these factors could significantly harm the Company’s business and decrease the price of our common stock in the public market. Severe price fluctuations in a company’s stock, including the Company’s stock, have frequently been followed by securities litigation. Litigation can result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources and therefore could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Past financial performance of the Company should not be considered a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

The Company has a history of generating a large percentage of its revenue at the end of each quarterly accounting period.

     Due to the way that many customers in the Company’s target markets allocate and spend their budgeted funds for acquisition of the Company’s products and other products, a large percentage of the Company’s business is booked at the end of each quarterly accounting period. Because of this, the Company may not be able to reliably predict order volumes. If the Company is unable to ship its customer orders on time, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

The Company’s success depends on the performance of participants in the Company’s distribution channels.

     The Company currently sells its products through OEMs, distributors and resellers. The Company’s future performance will depend in large part on sales of its products through these distribution relationships, such as those with Comp View, Inc., GSA, Net One, NEC, AT&T and other key partners. Agreements with distribution partners generally provide for discounts based on the Company’s list prices, and do not require minimum purchases or restrict development or distribution of competitive products. Therefore, entities that distribute the Company’s products may compete with the Company. In addition, OEMs, distributors and resellers may not dedicate sufficient resources or give sufficient priority to selling the Company’s products. The Company additionally depends on its distribution relationships for most customer support, and expends significant resources to train its OEMs, distributors and resellers to support these customers. These entities can generally terminate the distribution relationship upon 30 days notice. The loss of a distribution relationship or a decline in the efforts of a material distributor, or loss in business or cancellation of orders from, significant changes in scheduled deliveries to, or decreases in the prices of products sold to, any of these distribution relationships could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

The Company expects to rely on a limited number of large customers for its revenue in the future. Losing one or more of these customers may adversely affect the Company’s future revenue.

     The Company depends on a limited number of large end-user customers for a significant portion of its revenue which has resulted in, and may in the future result in, significant fluctuations in quarterly revenue. The Company expects that revenue from the sale of products to large resellers and telecommunications service providers will continue to account for a significant percentage of its revenue in any particular quarter for the foreseeable future. Additionally, a significant portion of the Company’s sales of video conferencing products has historically been to government agencies, such as military and educational institutions, or to third parties using the Company’s products on behalf of government agencies. Government customers are often subject to budgetary pressures and may from time to time reduce their expenditures and/or cancel orders. The loss of any major customer, or any reduction or delay in orders by a customer, or the failure of the Company or its distribution partners to market the Company’s products successfully to new customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Because sales of some of the Company’s products require a lengthy sales effort and implementation cycle, revenue may be unpredictable, and the Company’s business may be harmed.

     Sales of some of the Company’s products have required and will continue to require an extended sales effort. For some projects, the period from an initial sales call to an end-user agreement can range from six to twelve months and can be longer. Therefore, the timing of revenue recognition, as well as related cash receipts, may be unpredictable. A lengthy delay in booking orders, obtaining payment and recognizing revenue could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Rapid technological change and evolving industry standards and regulations may impair the Company’s ability to develop and market its products and services.

     Rapid technological change and evolving industry standards characterize the market for the Company’s products and services. The Company’s success depends, in part, on its ability to maintain technological leadership and enhance and expand its existing product and services offerings. The Company’s success also depends in part upon its ability and the ability of its strategic partners to comply with evolving industry standards. The Company’s products must meet a significant number of domestic and international video, voice and data communications regulations and standards, some of which are evolving as new technologies are deployed. The Company’s products are currently in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. However, as standards evolve, the Company will be required to modify its products, or develop and support new versions of its products. In addition, telecommunications service providers require that equipment connected to their networks comply with their own environment and standards, which may vary from industry standards.

     The Company’s ability to compete successfully is also dependent upon the continued compatibility and interoperability of its products with products and architectures offered by other vendors. The Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows would be materially adversely affected if it were unable in a timely manner to comply with evolving industry standards or to address compatibility issues. In addition, from time to time, the Company may announce new products, capabilities or technologies that have the potential to replace or shorten the life cycle of the Company’s existing product offerings. The announcement of product enhancements or new product or service offerings could cause customers to defer purchasing the Company’s products. In addition, the Company has experienced delays in the introduction of new products in the past and may experience additional delays in the introduction of products currently under development or products developed in the future. The failure of the Company to successfully introduce new products, product enhancements or services on schedule or in time to meet market opportunities, or customer delays in purchasing products in anticipation of new product introductions or because of changes in industry standards, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company faces intense competition from other industry participants and may not be able to compete effectively.

     The market for Web conferencing and networking products and services is extremely competitive. Because the barriers to entry in the market are relatively low and the potential market is large, the Company expects continued growth in existing competitors and the entrance of new competitors in the future. Many of the Company’s current and potential competitors have significantly longer operating histories and significantly greater managerial, financial, marketing, technical and other competitive resources, as well as greater name recognition, than that of the Company. As a result, these companies may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements and may be able to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their competing products and services. As a result, the Company may not be able to compete successfully with existing or new competitors in the rich media Web conferencing and collaboration solutions market. The Company believes that its ability to compete successfully in this market depends on a number of factors both within and outside its control, including:

    the timing of the introduction of new products, product upgrades and services by the Company and its competitors;
 
    the pricing policies of the Company’s competitors and suppliers;
 
    the Company’s ability to hire and retain highly qualified employees;
 
    continued investment in research and development;
 
    continued investment in sales and marketing; and
 
    the adoption and evolution of industry standards.

Table of Contents

The Company’s business may be harmed if it is unable to protect its proprietary rights.

     The Company’s success and ability to compete in the rich media Web conferencing and collaboration solutions market depends, in part, upon its ability to protect its proprietary technology. The Company may be unable to deter misappropriation of its proprietary technology, detect unauthorized use, and take appropriate steps to enforce its intellectual property rights.

     The Company does not rely on patent protection for its products, and does not hold any patents, although it has filed patent applications relating to tunneling technology and the initiation and support of video conferencing using instant messaging. This patent application may not be approved, however, and even if issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, it may not give the Company an advantage over competitors. The Company’s adherence to industry-wide technical standards and specifications may limit its opportunities to provide proprietary product features. The Company currently licenses certain technology from third parties and plans to continue to do so in the future. The commercial success of the Company will depend, in part, on its ability to continue to obtain licenses to use third-party technology in its products.

     The Company relies upon a combination of trade secret, copyright and trademark laws and contractual restrictions to establish and protect proprietary rights in its technology. The Company also enters into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with its employees and enters into non-disclosure agreements with its consultants, suppliers, distributors and customers to limit access to and disclosure of its proprietary information. However, these statutory and contractual arrangements may not be sufficient to deter misappropriation of the Company’s proprietary technologies. In addition, independent third parties may develop similar or superior technologies to those of the Company. Furthermore, the laws of some foreign countries do not provide the same degree of protection of the Company’s proprietary information as do the laws of the United States.

Claims by third parties that the Company infringes their proprietary technology could prevent the Company from offering its products or otherwise materially harm the Company’s business.

     The commercial success of the Company also will depend, in part, on the Company not breaching third-party intellectual property rights. The Company licenses certain third-party technology for use in its products, but is subject to claims and the risk of litigation alleging infringement of other third-party intellectual property rights. A number of companies have developed technologies or received patents on technologies that may be related to or be competitive with the Company’s technologies. The Company has not conducted a patent search relating to the technology used in its products. In addition, since patent applications in the United States are not publicly disclosed until the patent issues, applications may have been filed, which, if issued as patents, would relate to the Company’s products. The Company’s lack of patents may inhibit the Company’s ability to negotiate or obtain licenses from or oppose patents of third parties, if necessary.

     The Company may incur substantial costs in defending itself and its customers against intellectual property litigation, including pending and potential future litigation, regardless of the merits of such claims. The Company may also be required by contract or by statutory implied warranties to indemnify its distribution partners and end-users against third-party infringement claims. Parties making infringement claims against the Company may be able to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief which could effectively block the Company’s ability to sell its products in the United States and abroad, and could result in an award of substantial damages. In the event of a successful claim of infringement against the Company, the Company, its customers and end-users may be required to obtain one or more licenses from third parties. The Company, or its customers, may not be able to obtain necessary licenses from third parties at a reasonable cost, or at all. The defense of any lawsuit could result in time-consuming and expensive litigation, damages, license fees, royalty payments and restrictions on the Company’s ability to sell its products, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The Company faces additional risks from its international operations.

     The Company’s international business involves a number of risks that could adversely affect its operating results or contribute to fluctuations in those results. The Company’s revenue from international sales represented 30% and 28%, respectively, of its total revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 and 39% and 30%, respectively, of its total revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company intends to seek opportunities to expand its product and service offerings into additional international markets, although the Company may not succeed in developing localized versions of its products for new international markets or in marketing or distributing products and services in those markets.

     The majority of the Company’s international sales are currently denominated in United States dollars. However, it is possible that a significantly higher level of future sales of the Company’s products may be denominated in foreign currencies. To the extent that the Company’s sales are denominated in currencies other than United States dollars, fluctuations in exchange rates may result in foreign

24


Table of Contents

exchange losses. The Company does not have experience in implementing hedging techniques that might minimize the Company’s risks from exchange rate fluctuations.

     The Company’s international business also involves a number of other difficulties and risks, including risks associated with:

    changing economic conditions and political instability in foreign countries;
 
    export restrictions and export controls relating to the Company’s technology;
 
    compliance with existing and changing regulatory requirements;
 
    tariffs and other trade barriers;
 
    difficulties in staffing and managing international operations ;
 
    longer payment cycles and problems in collecting accounts receivable;
 
    software piracy;
 
    seasonal reductions in business activity in Europe and certain other parts of the world during the summer months; and
 
    potentially adverse tax consequences.

Control by Insiders

     As of June 30, 2003, the Company’s executive officers, directors and their affiliates beneficially owned approximately 1.3 million shares, or approximately 15%, of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result, these persons may have the ability to effectively control the Company and direct its affairs and business, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company, and making certain transactions more difficult or impossible absent the support of these stockholders, including proxy contests, mergers involving the Company, tender offers, open-market purchase programs or other purchases of common stock that could give stockholders of the Company the opportunity to realize a premium over the then prevailing market price for shares of common stock.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

     The Company’s market risk exposures as set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 have not materially changed.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

     (a)  An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act) were effective as of the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2003.

     Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that its disclosure controls will prevent all error or potential fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their cost. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be

25


Table of Contents

circumvented by the individual acts of some persons or by collusion of two or more people. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

     On February 11, 2003, the Company received an adversarial complaint filed by Visitalk.com in connection with Visitalk.com’s reorganization proceedings in the United States Bankruptcy Court District of Arizona, alleging that CUseeMe Networks, which was acquired by the Company on June 19, 2001, breached a 1999 Strategic Partnership Agreement and sought damages of $435,000. In April, the Company responded to the complaint with a Motion to Stay Proceedings and to compel Matter to Proceed to Arbitration. In June 2003, the parties reached a mutual agreement to dismiss the adversarial action with prejudice, exchange a mutual general release of all claims and waive attorney’s fees and costs. The parties have not yet executed a formal settlement agreement and the settlement will not become effective until approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

Item 2. Changes in Securities

     On April 3, 2003, the Company entered into a term loan facility agreement with its bank that allows the Company to borrow up to $3.0 million at any time prior to December 31, 2003. Funds drawn under the facility will be recorded as a term loan fully amortized over a three-year period with an interest rate equal to the bank’s prime rate plus 2.25%, with a floor at 6.5%. The Company paid a $22,500 commitment fee at the closing and is subject to a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum on any unused borrowings. In connection with the term loan facility, the Company issued on April 3, 2003 a five-year warrant to the bank to purchase up to 56,250 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.60 per share.

     On April 14, 2003, the Company entered into a private equity line of financing agreement with Ralph Ungermann, Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. Under this agreement, the Company may sell up to $1 million of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Ungermann at a purchase price of $1.55 per share (up to 645,161 shares) during the period from April 14, 2003 through April 13, 2004. The Company may draw down funds under the private equity line financing agreement up to four times during the 12-month term of the agreement, with each draw for a minimum of $250,000. As compensation for the agreement, the Company issued to Mr. Ungermann a warrant with a five-year term exercisable for up to 60,000 shares of the Company’s stock at an exercise price equal to $1.90 per share, 125% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as measured on the date of issuance of the warrant.

     The parties intended the above private placements to be exempt from registration and prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and Regulation D promulgated there under. Each of the investors represented that they were an accredited investor and that the investor’s intention was to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to distribution thereof. An appropriate legend was affixed to each warrant issued in the above private placements and will be placed on any common stock certificates issued under the private equity line of financing agreement. Each investor was knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in making investment decisions of this kind and received adequate information about the Company or had adequate access, through the investor’s business relationship with the Company, to information about the Company.

     On June 26, 2003 the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 1-for-5 reverse split of the Company’s common stock, effective at 5:00 pm EDT on June 27, 2003, with trading commencing on a post-reverse split basis on market open on Monday June 30, 2003. The reverse split was previously approved by the stockholders at the Company’s June 13, 2003 Annual Stockholders Meeting. As of 5:00 pm EDT on June 27, 2003, each five shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock was automatically combined and converted into one share of common stock. In addition, the Company made adjustments to its outstanding options and warrants to reflect the reverse split and as reflected above in this item 2.
