NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001 (Unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands)
1. Condensed consolidated financial statements
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted from these condensed financial statements. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. The balance sheet at December 31, 2001 has been condensed from the audited balance sheet as of that date. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year, or any other interim period.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, have been made to present fairly the financial position of the Company and its subsidiary at September 30, 2002 and the results of their operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.
Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2001 financial statements to conform to the 2002 presentation.
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company as well as its wholly owned subsidiary. The functional currency of the subsidiary is Australian dollars. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translation are recorded as other comprehensive income and accumulated as a separate component of shareholders' equity. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
2. Recent accounting pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Under previous accounting standards, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives were assumed to have finite lives and were amortized over a period of time. Under the new standard, these assets are presumed to have indefinite lives, but will be tested annually and adjusted whenever events or circumstances indicate that they have been impaired. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. The adoption of this new pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Also in June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. It is required to be adopted by the Company on January 1, 2003. The Company does not currently have any retirement obligations with respect to its long-lived assets.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets." This pronouncement supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and certain aspects of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." This pronouncement retained the method for recording an impairment of
In November 2001, the FASB issued Staff Announcement Topic No. D-103 ("Announcement"), "Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for "Out-of-Pocket" Expenses Incurred." The Announcement states that reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses incurred should be classified as revenue in the statement of operations. The Company adopted this Announcement on January 1, 2002. Prior to 2002, the Company recorded reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses as an offset to those expenses. Commencing in 2002, the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses are classified as revenue and the out-of-pocket expenses are classified as cost and expenses. Reclassifications have been made in the statements of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 to conform to the 2002 presentation. The result of this new classification increased revenue and total cost and expenses by $552 and $484 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, this reclassification increased revenue and total cost and expenses by $1,867 and $1,742, respectively. The adoption of this Announcement had no effect on net income.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." This pronouncement will generally require gains and losses on extinguishment of debt to be classified as income or loss from continuing operations rather than as extraordinary items as previously required under SFAS No. 4. Extraordinary treatment will be required for certain extinguishments as provided in APB Opinion No. 30. The Company will adopt this pronouncement on January 1, 2003. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 145 will not have any impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." This pronouncement would require the recognition of costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of such activities include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs associated with a restructuring, discontinued operations or plant closing. The provisions of this pronouncement will be applied on a prospective basis commencing January 1, 2003. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

4. Comprehensive income
The difference between the Company's net income and comprehensive income relates to the change in the unrealized net gain on temporary investments and translation gain related to the consolidation of the Company's wholly-owned foreign subsidiary. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2002, net income would have increased by $7 and $23 (net of tax expense of $4 and $15), respectively, to arrive at comprehensive income of $334 and $255, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, net income would have increased by $39 and $46 (net of tax expense of $25 and $29), respectively, to arrive at comprehensive income of $158 and $1,183, respectively.
5. Operating segment information
The Company's operations are divided into two operating segments: software products and software services. The Company evaluates its performance in each segment based on its operating contribution, which includes revenue, cost and expenses that can be specifically identified within each segment. Product development and general and administrative expenses are not allocated to the segments for determining its operating contribution because such an allocation would be based on subjective factors. Information about each operating segment and a reconciliation of operating contribution to operating income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 is as follows:

Net Revenue. Net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2002 increased 6 percent compared to the same period in 2001 due to an increase in both software license revenue and service fee revenue. Software license revenue in the third quarter last year was adversely affected as a result of the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001. Software license revenue in the third quarter of 2002 was impacted by the uncertainty surrounding the recovery of the U.S. economy, which we believe has caused many prospective buyers and customers to delay their software purchasing decisions. However, software license revenue increased 5 percent over the third quarter last year and increased 39 percent over our software license revenue for second quarter of 2002. Part of the increase in software license revenue was due to the release of our Project Management and Buyout applications at the end of August, which are key applicatio ns in our integrated Project Management suite of products. License revenue from the Project Management and Buyout applications amounted to $800 during the three months ended September 30, 2002. Some of our ongoing sales initiatives also contributed to the increase in software license revenue. Our Service Management applications for the specialty contractor market, generated $222 more in software orders during the third quarter of 2002 than we generated in the same period in 2001. Our telesales group, established in July 2001 to sell new or additional uses of our software applications to our user base, generated $180 more in software license revenue than in the third quarter of 2001. We also had an initial Estimating software order from one of the largest contractors in the U.S., to enhance their construction estimating process throughout their company.
Service fee revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2002 increased 7 percent over the comparable period in 2001, primarily due to a $550 increase in revenue from maintenance and support service plans. This recurring source of revenue from our users accounted for 88 percent and 87 percent of our service fee revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. We also had a $164 increase in consulting revenue, but this was partially offset by a $62 decline in training revenue.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2002, software license revenue declined 18 percent compared to the same period in 2001, primarily due to the economic uncertainty in 2002, as discussed above. Partially offsetting the effect of this on our software license revenue were positive gains from some of our sales initiatives. For the first nine months of 2002, software orders attributed to our Service Management applications and our telesales group increased $372 and $521, respectively, over the comparable period in 2001. Also, as mentioned above, the release of our Project Management and Buyout applications in August 2002 and the initial order in September 2002 for estimating software to a large construction company partially offset the decline in software license revenue from new users.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2002, service fee revenue also increased, primarily due to the increase in revenue from maintenance and support service plans. Revenue from service plans increased $2,626 during the first nine months of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 primarily due to a 13 percent increase in service plan billings in 2002 compared to 2001. Consulting revenue during the first nine months of 2002 increased $611 over the comparable period in 2001, primarily due to an expansion of our consulting practice and a large consulting engagement related to a software order in the fourth quarter of 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, training revenue declined 24 percent, or $269 compared to the first nine months of 2001, primarily due to lower software license revenue in 2002.
Cost of Revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2002, cost of revenue, as a percentage of net revenue, increased over the same period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in royalties and amortization of capitalized software development costs. Royalty costs for the three months ended September 30, 2002 increased $353 over the same period in 2001, primarily because of increased royalties related to the SQL database engine embedded into our software products.
15
Amortization of capitalized software development costs increased $84 to $394 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $310 for the same period in 2001. This increase was due to increased amortization as a result of the release of new products introduced in 2002, primarily our Project Management and Buyout applications which were released in August 2002.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, cost of revenue, as a percentage of net revenue, increased over the comparable period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in amortization of capitalized software development costs and royalty costs. Amortization of capitalized software development costs increased $507 to $1,319 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $812 for the same period in 2001. Part of the increase is due to the amortization of capitalized software costs on new products released in 2002, which increased our amortization expense by $271 during the first nine months of 2002. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2002, we determined that we could combine the feature set of our two service products into one code set, thereby saving significant future development costs of maintaining two separate products. Eliminating one of these products resulted in a $300 write-off of unamortized capitalized software costs during the nine months ended Se ptember 30, 2002. Royalty costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased $676 over the same period in 2001. As mentioned above, the increased royalties was primarily for royalties related to the SQL database engine embedded into our software products.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased $138, or 1 percent to $13,367 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $13,229 for the same period in 2001. Capitalized software development costs, which reduce our operating expenses, amounted to $398 in the third quarter of 2002 compared to $1,170 in the third quarter of 2001. Excluding the amount of software development costs capitalized, operating expenses in the third quarter of 2002 decreased $634 from the third quarter last year. Operating expenses in the current period included a one-time charge of $420 related to a reduction in force in August, which was partially offset by $239 in reduced personnel costs for a portion of the current quarter as a result of this action. The reduction in force is expected to reduce our personnel costs by approximately $480 per quarter commencing in the fourth quarter of 2002. Most of the other reduction in operating expenses was due to the cost reduction measures we implemented in November 2001, which included a small reduction in force, an across-the-board wage reduction, the subleasing of some office space we are currently leasing, and other cost saving measures. In 2001, we also incurred outside consulting expenses related to the re-engineering of our product development process, which we did not incur in 2002.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, operating expenses decreased 1 percent to $38,353 from $38,581 for the same period in 2001. Capitalized software development costs, which reduce our operating expenses, amounted to $2,085 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2002 compared to $3,706 in the same period of 2001. Excluding the amount of software development costs capitalized, operating expenses for the first nine months of 2002 decreased $1,849 compared to the same period a year ago. The reduction in expenses was primarily due to the same reasons discussed above.
For the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, client services expenses decreased primarily due to lower personnel and training costs and lower outside service costs. As a percentage of service fee revenue, client services expenses declined to 36 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to 41 percent in the same period for 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, this percentage was 35 percent compared to 43 percent for the comparable period in 2001.
16
For the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, product development expenses decreased compared to the same periods in 2001, primarily due to the wage reduction last November, a reduction in the usage of contract developers and lower expenses for outside consultants assisting in the re-engineering of our product development process. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, outside consultants costs associated with the re-engineering project decreased $442 and $695, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2001. Theses decreases were partially offset by lower capitalized software development costs in 2002 compared to 2001, as previously mentioned above.
Sales and marketing expenses for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 increased compared to the same periods in 2001, both in amount and as a percentage of net revenue. This increase was primarily due to increased expenses related to maintaining a larger direct sales staff in 2002 than in 2001. The expansion of our direct sales staff was primarily due to the establishment of an internal telesales group in July 2001 to sell our software into our user base and the establishment of a direct sales staff in Florida to increase our sales coverage in that state. The internal telesales group has generated a profitable contribution each month since its inception and our direct sales group in Florida also had an increase in software license revenue over the comparable periods in 2001.
General and administrative expenses for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 increased over the comparable periods in 2001, primarily due to costs associated with the reduction in force in 2002, and increases in insurance costs, legal and professional services costs and amortization expense. The increase was partially offset by lower personnel costs as a result of the company-wide, across-the-board wage reduction that was instituted in the fourth quarter of 2001.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes is based on our best estimate of the effective tax rate for the year. The effective tax rate utilized for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 was 33 percent compared to 30 percent for the same periods in 2001. The effective tax rate is dependent on many factors, including an estimate of the amount of our earnings for the year and the amount of research tax credits. The actual effective tax rate for 2002 may differ from our estimate if the factors used in developing our tax rate vary significantly from our actual operating results.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
We generally meet our liquidity needs through cash generated from operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, net cash provided by operations was $3,365 compared to $3,844 for the same period in 2001. Our cash and temporary investments at September 30, 2002 amounted to $7,183, compared to $9,765 at December 31, 2001. Primary uses of cash during first nine months of 2002 were capitalized software costs amounting to $2,435, purchase of property and equipment amounting to $2,283 and the payment of dividends amounting to $1,406. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, temporary investments totaling $774 matured and were transferred into our cash balances. Net accounts receivable at September 30, 2002 increased $1,007 compared to December 31, 2001 and DSO (Days Sales Outstanding) at September 30, 2002 amounted to 41, compared to 35 at December 31, 2001. The increase in the accounts receivable balance and DSO's was primarily due to an increase in software bill ings in September compared to last December. We also received a higher proportion of software orders for the quarter during the month of September than our normal order pattern, causing our receivable balance at the end of September to be abnormally high compared to our revenue for the third quarter of 2002. Other current assets decreased $50 since the end of 2001, primarily due to a decrease in prepaid property taxes and advertising costs. Net capitalized software costs increased $1,115 to $11,835 at September 30, 2002 from $10,720 at December 31, 2001. The increase was due to $2,435 for product development and other related costs on the development of new products, less amortization expense of $1,320 related to costs capitalized on products previously released for distribution. Amortization expense includes the write-off of unamortized capitalized software costs during the second quarter, as previously discussed under "Cost of Revenue." Since June 30, 2002, net capitalized software costs increased only $3 .
17
Accounts payable at September 30, 2002 increased $384 since the end of 2001. Most of this increase was due to an increase in amounts owed for property and equipment purchases. Accrued commissions/royalties decreased $420 since December 31, 2001 primarily due to lower accrued commissions owed to our solution providers on service plan billings. Because these commissions are accrued monthly but paid semi-annually in January and July, the amount of these accrued commissions are highest at the end of June and December. Deferred revenues at September 30, 2002 increased $948 to $17,802 from $16,854 at December 31, 2001, primarily due to an increase in billings for annual maintenance and support service plans. Billings for service plans during the first nine months of 2002 have increased 13 percent over the same period in 2001. Revenue from these service plan billings will be recognized ratably over the service plan period. Accrued employee expenses decreased $303 since December 31, 2 001, primarily due to the payment of 2001 expenses accrued at year-end. Income taxes payable also decreased $240 since the end of 2001 primarily due to payment of taxes owed for 2001.
During the first nine months of 2002, we declared three regular quarterly cash dividend totaling $.12 per share, amounting to $1,406. We plan to continue to pay quarterly cash dividends consistent with our capital needs and income levels.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Our discussion on recent accounting pronouncements and the effect on our financial statements can be found in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to select appropriate accounting policies and to continually evaluate such policies to ensure they remain appropriate based on changing conditions and circumstances. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. We continue to believe our significant accounting policies are reasonable and appropriate. The preparation of our financial statements also requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenue, cost and expenses and disclosures related to contin gencies. We believe our estimates and assumptions, which are based on historical experience, current conditions and other matters of judgment, are reasonable and appropriate. However, actual results may differ from our estimates.
We believe the following are the critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
Revenue recognition. We recognize software license revenue and service plan revenue in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position 97-2 (SOP 97-2), "Software Revenue Recognition," issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and as amended in subsequent accounting pronouncements. Software license revenue is generally recognized upon shipment, provided that we have a signed license agreement, the license fee is determinable, collection is probable, and we have no significant future obligations to the customer related to the software. Service plans for maintenance and support of the software generally cover a one-year period and are billed in advance. Billings for service plans are included in deferred revenues and the revenue from these billings is recognized ratably over the service plan period.
18
Capitalized software costs. At September 30, 2002, unamortized capitalized software costs amounted to $11,835, representing 23 percent of our total assets. We capitalize software development costs on new software products when technological feasibility has been established and amortize those costs as cost of revenue when the products are released. Judgment is involved in determining when technological feasibility has occurred and in determining whether our estimate of the net realizable value associated with each software product exceeds its unamortized costs. The net realizable value is primarily based on our estimate of future revenue to be generated from each product. Estimating the amount of future revenue involves the consideration of many subjective factors and making judgment as to the effect those factors will have on future revenue. Such factors include the degree to which the product is accepted in the market, h ow quickly the revenue will be realized, and technological changes that may shorten the useful life of the product or render it obsolete. At September 30, 2002, we believe the net realizable value associated with each product exceeds its unamortized cost. However, should we experience changes in the marketplace and new technological advances that adversely affect our products, a write-down of unamortized capitalized software development costs may be required. During the second quarter of 2002, we determined that we could combine the feature set of our two service software products into one code set, thereby saving significant future development costs associated with maintaining two separate products. We had unamortized capitalized software costs associated with each product. By making the determination that we could combine the feature set of both products into one product, it was appropriate for us to write-off $300 of unamortized capitalized software costs during the second quarter related to the product t hat we would no longer maintain.
Income taxes. Our provision for income taxes includes the benefit to be realized from research tax credits, including the benefit of research tax credit carryforwards. While we believe the amount of the research tax credit is proper, the credit is subject to challenge by the taxing authorities. If the credit we have recognized is more than what the taxing authorities allow, additional income tax expense may be recognized in subsequent years. We also believe the tax credit carryforward benefit will be realized in subsequent years; however, the extent to which the benefit will be realized depends on the level of our future profitability and our ability to use such credits prior to their expiration. If we are not able to realize the full benefit of the tax credit, additional income tax expense may be required in subsequent years.
Risks and Uncertainties
From time to time, we may make forward-looking statements as such term is defined in the Federal securities laws. The following risks and uncertainties, among others, should be considered in evaluating our forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in such forward-looking statements are as follows:
Competition. The computer software market is highly competitive and subject to change because of the rapid technological changes in the computer industry. The number of software vendors with which we compete varies from product to product and from region to region within the United States. Although we believe we are a major supplier of accounting and cost estimating software for the construction and real estate industries, and that there are economical and technological barriers to discourage new specialty software vendors from entering into our segment of the software market, there can be no assurance that larger, well-known software developers will not target this segment of the market. Such competitors are considerably larger, more diversified, and have greater financial and other resources and enjoy greater brand recognition for their products than ours.
19
We must also compete with other larger, well-known software developers for the hiring and retention of highly qualified technical personnel. As a result, we may have to expend additional financial resources to hire and retain qualified technical personnel. If we are not able to secure the services of employees with the level of technical expertise we require, the development of new products would likely be delayed and would result in a decrease in the quality of new software products and enhancements to our existing software products. A delay in the development, or failure to maintain the quality of our new software products would likely have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Dependence on Microsoft Operating System: Obsolescence and Technological Changes. We are a specialty software developer, an industry characterized by rapid technological change. Our software is designed to work with specific operating systems developed by Microsoft Corporation. If substantial changes are made to those operating systems or if new operating systems are adopted, our software products may not function properly, necessitating that we invest additional resources to adapt our software to those changes. Also, other operating systems may be introduced on which our software may not function, which may also cause additional resources to be expended which would otherwise be devoted to improving our software or developing new software.
To remain competitive, we must continue to make substantial expenditures for product development. Although we plan to continue to enhance our existing products and to develop new products, our competitors may develop products with superior capabilities and/or market their products more effectively at lower prices, by "bundling" their software with other software or through other methods. We believe our existing software products are widely accepted in our segment of the marketplace. However, a delay in the release of new products or modifications to existing products, or a delay in the acceptance by the marketplace of any new products or modifications to existing products, could similarly delay the recognition of revenue, or have an adverse effect on our revenue and earnings.
Substantial Dependence on a Single Industry. Because we sell a large majority of our software products and services to the construction industry, adverse economic conditions in that industry could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and earnings. The construction industry is particularly sensitive to a significant increase in interest rates, which in the past has resulted in substantial financial distress across the industry. In addition, a downturn in general economic conditions in the United States could adversely affect the construction industry.
Product Protection. We regard our software as proprietary and attempts to protect it by relying upon copyrights, laws protecting trade secrets, internal nondisclosure agreements and transferability restrictions incorporated into our software license agreements. We believe the risk of unauthorized transfers of our proprietary information is reduced because program source listings are not released to third parties. Despite these restrictions, it may be possible for competitors or users to copy aspects of our products or to obtain information which we regard as proprietary. Our competitive position could be adversely affected by unauthorized use of our proprietary information. Third parties may also assert infringement or other claims against us with respect to any existing or future products. Litigation to protect our proprietary information or to determine the validity of any third-party claims could result in significant expense to us and, whether or not such litigation is determined in our favor, divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel from further development and support of our software products.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates is primarily related to our cash and temporary cash investments balances. Additionally, we have a subsidiary company in Australia, which exposes us to foreign currency fluctuations. We believe that our exposure to changes in interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations are not material to our operating results or cash flows. There has not been any material change in the market risk disclosures contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
20
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing of this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.
Subsequent to the date of this evaluation, there have not been any significant changes in our internal controls or, to our knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect our internal controls.
