PART I

Item 1. Business

Overview

We develop, market and service information capture software. Information capture software enables organizations to collect, organize and input paper and fax-based information into their installed computing systems, providing a critical bridge between the paper world and the digital world. Our customers have traditionally been large ("global 1000") businesses and governmental agencies that use our InputAccel software to convert transaction-related documents, such as order forms, claim forms, or loan applications, into an appropriate electronic format and to transport images of and information from these documents to storage on Web sites, compact disks, or internal databases for subsequent search, retrieval or further processing. Additionally, we market software tools under our Pixel Translations brand to various hardware and software providers.

On March 4, 2002, we entered into a merger agreement with Captiva Software Corporation, a privately held company that provides forms processing software products and services. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Captiva will become a wholly owned subsidiary and we will change our name to Captiva Software Corporation. The merger is subject to necessary approvals from the stockholders of both companies and is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2002. In connection with the merger, we will file a registration statement with the SEC on Form S-4, which will include additional information about the merger and the merger agreement.

Industry Background

Today, most global 1000 companies and governmental agencies worldwide have installed computerized enterprise resource planning, document management and intranet applications, all of which have had a profound impact on how these entities manage their internal information and internal business operations. But, these same organizations continue to receive a significant amount of information from customers, suppliers, partners and others outside the enterprise in the form of paper, faxes, microfilm and even incompatible electronic files. Dealing with paper and fax in a computerized environment is a challenge in all industries; it is particularly problematic in services industries such as financial services, insurance, health care, telecommunications, transportation and government. Paper- and fax-based information from customers and partners is vital to running these businesses, but this information is incompatible with the installed enterprise computer systems making it difficult to provide the desired levels of customer service and operating efficiencies.

Information capture solutions enable organizations to collect, organize and input paper and fax-based information into their installed computing systems, providing a critical bridge between the paper world and the digital world. The result is improved customer satisfaction, increased productivity and reduced operating costs.

Technology and Products

InputAccel

InputAccel has, in recent years, been our main software product. InputAccel began shipping in November 1995. With InputAccel, enterprises of various sizes and document capture volume requirements can standardize their systems on our enterprise information capture solution, yet customize the system to meet the needs of either a transaction or content processing operation at various levels of input volume. We have selling relationships with established providers such as Documentum, IBM and Tower Systems.

InputAccel utilizes an open integration architecture and set of software modules designed to automate the conversion and indexing of paper documents into formats compatible with computerized business systems. InputAccel is a client server application. The ActionPoint Enterprise Server is the system's architectural backbone. InputAccel modules plug into the Enterprise Server platform and perform specific information capture tasks such as scanning, image enhancement, or data extraction.

The Windows NT-based Enterprise Server is the foundation of our InputAccel system. It manages and controls various scanning processes-- acting as a work-queue manager, performing automatic workload balancing and collecting performance data that system managers need to control the capture process and insure efficiency and productivity. When capture tasks are complete Enterprise Server provides the connectivity between paper format and digital format by delivering data and images to selected enterprise database systems.

InputAccel modules plug into the Enterprise Server platform and perform such image enhancement or data capture tasks including the following:

Image Capture

Data Capture

Scan

Full Text Optical Character Recognition and Edit

Rescan

Key Index

Copy

PDF Conversion

Automatic Quality Assurance

Document Identification

Image Quality Assurance

Forms

Image Enhancement

 

In addition to ActionPoint's InputAccel modules, over a dozen third-party technology developers offer InputAccel-compatible modules worldwide. These technology developers help make InputAccel a standard platform and as a result of the variety of available modules for building information capture solutions, giving customers the flexibility they need. These third-party relationships also help extend ActionPoint's reach into many niche markets requiring such specialized functionality as handprint or bar code recognition.

Software Tools

Our software tools are designed to enable hardware and software developers to save both time and money by using stable libraries of software code, supported and maintained by ActionPoint, to drive document- imaging hardware peripherals such as scanners, printers and displays. We provide PixTools software tools that allow imaging software applications to work with virtually any scanner, controller board, or display.

Customers

The customers of our InputAccel products are primarily Global 1000 companies and government entities. Some of our larger U.S. customers include: Delta Airlines, Wachovia Bank, Fidelity Investments, Metropolitan Life, Amgen, Searle, Prudential and the U.S. Patent Office.

We sell or license our software tools to hardware and software suppliers such as Fujitsu, Canon, IBM and FileNet.

Sales

Our revenues largely come from the sale of InputAccel product licenses. We offer to sell InputAccel using volume-based perpetual licenses, meaning customers may process pre-determined volumes of documents on a per day basis, or transaction-based licenses, and meaning customers may process a pre- determined volume of documents over any period of time. As these licenses are volume-based, customers are able to make initial purchases at attractive prices. As a customer's system expands, as defined by document volume throughput, purchases of additional licenses are required. Historically, our customers have predominantly been Global 1000 companies and governmental agencies.

Additionally revenues are obtained from annual software maintenance subscriptions and professional consulting/implementation services. These service/support revenues represented 30% of our total revenues in 2001, with the majority of this coming from software maintenance.

InputAccel software is typically used in connection with complex enterprise computer systems that include important software and hardware components supplied by other vendors. As a result, purchasers of these enterprise computer systems often rely on system integrators and value-added resellers to oversee the acquisition and installation of key hardware and software components of the overall system. Most of our products are sold by a combination of direct and indirect channels. We employ a sales force of approximately thirteen account representatives and nine sales engineers located across several U.S. and two international field offices. Historically worldwide, approximately one-half of our InputAccel sales are made directly to end-users and one-half through an established channel of systems integration companies such as EDS, IBM, and Xerox. International revenues represented 30% of total revenues in 2001.

Our Pixel software tools are generally sold or licensed on a royalty basis through a direct sales program to hardware and software suppliers such as Fujitsu, Canon, IBM and FileNet.

Marketing

Our marketing objectives include building market awareness and acceptance of ActionPoint and our products, as well as generating qualified customer leads. We attend industry trade shows and seminars, such as the Association for Information and Image Management International's annual conference, and provide information about our company and our products on our Web site. Our executives speak at industry events and provide briefings to industry analysts and trade press. We also conduct public relations activities, advertise in trade publications to promote our products to our target markets and host an annual user's conference.

Our marketing goals include the following:

Research and Development

We believe that our future success will depend in large part on our ability to enhance our current product line, develop new products, maintain technological competitiveness and satisfy an evolving range of customer requirements. We have assembled a team of skilled software developers and software quality assurance engineers with significant industry experience. This development group is responsible for exploring new directions and applications of core technologies, incorporating new technologies into products and maintaining strong research relationships with other software developers. We seek to build upon our direct investment in research and development by supporting efforts by independent software vendors to develop complementary products and participate actively in the development of industry standards.

Technical Support and Professional Services

An important element in our strategy is to provide comprehensive support of our products. We believe that responsive technical support is essential to satisfy customer requirements. We provide support for our products primarily through our customer support staff based in our San Jose, California facility. Our support activities include direct support to our customers through our Web site, which offers technical information designed to assist in answering frequently asked questions and in problem diagnosis and resolution. We also provide telephone support via help desk, e-mail support and remote control support that provide direct access from our support personnel to our customers' systems for problem diagnosis and resolution. Most customers buy an annual maintenance contract when they initially license our software and most renew this contract on an annual basis. Additionally, we provide a variety of training and professional consulting services to the majority of our customers, which assist them to more efficiently, implement their systems.

We typically provide a ninety-day warranty program from defects for all of our products. Our standard terms and conditions provide that a customer may return a defective product for repair or replacement during the warranty period.

Intellectual Property

We have invested significantly in the development of proprietary technology for our products and our operations frequently incorporate proprietary and confidential information. We rely upon a combination of copyright and trademark laws and non-disclosure and other intellectual property contractual arrangements to protect our proprietary rights. We protect our software, documentation and other written materials under trade secret and copyright laws, which only provide limited protection. We do not hold any patents and currently have no patent applications pending. We also enter into confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, consultants and corporate partners and control access to and distribution of our software, documentation and other proprietary information.

Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology. Monitoring unauthorized use of our products is difficult and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent misappropriation of our technology, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. In addition, our competitors might independently develop similar technology or duplicate our product or circumvent any patents or our other intellectual property rights. Due to rapid technological change in our market, we believe the various legal protections available for our intellectual property are of limited value. Instead, we seek to establish and maintain a technology leadership position by leveraging technological and creative skills of our personnel, new product developments and enhancements to existing products.

Competition

The market for our products is highly competitive, evolving and subject to rapid technological change. We believe the principal competitive factors are product features, support, price and reputation. In addition, support of our product architecture by independent software vendors and ease of product implementation are important competitive factors for InputAccel. We believe that we currently compete favorably in these areas.

Our principal competitors are established software companies, some of which that have a broad range of software offerings and consultants that provide customized software solutions for their client companies. These competitors include Kofax, FileNet, Readsoft and Captiva.

We expect additional competition from other established and emerging companies if the market continues to develop and expand. Many of these competitors and potential competitors may have significant competitive advantages, including greater name recognition; more resources to apply to the development, marketing and sales of their products and more established sales channels. In addition, many of our competitors have well-established relationships with our current and potential customers and have extensive knowledge of our industry. As a result, our competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we can. In addition, current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase the ability of their products to address customer needs. Accordingly, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share. We also expect that competition will increase as a result of software industry consolidations.

Employees

As of December 31, 2001, we had 129 employees. We employ 19 people in finance and administrative functions; 79 in marketing, sales, services; and support and 31 in engineering and product development. In addition, we hire temporary employees on an as-needed basis to meet production requirements. None of the employees are represented by a labor union or are subject to a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that our employee relations are good.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information in this Report, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating us and our business.

Risks Related to our Financial Results

We have recently experienced losses and may continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, which may harm the market price of our common stock.

We incurred a net loss of $1.9 million for 2001. In recent periods we have not generally generated cash from operations. Even if we achieve profitability, given the competitive and evolving nature of our industry we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. As a result, we will need to generate higher revenues while containing costs and operating expenses to become and remain profitable. Our failure to do so may cause the price of our stock to decline.

Because of the unpredictability of operating results from our products, we may not accurately forecast our revenues or match our expenses to our revenues, which could harm our quarterly operating results and cause volatility or declines in our stock price.

Our quarterly revenues, expenses and operating results have varied significantly in the past and are likely to vary significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, including:

We operate with virtually no order backlog because our software products are shipped shortly after orders are received. That makes product revenues in any quarter substantially dependent on orders booked and shipped throughout that quarter. In addition, we achieve a significant portion of revenues from indirect sales channels over which we have little control. Moreover, our expense levels are based to a significant extent on our expectations of future revenues and therefore are relatively fixed in the short term. If revenue levels are below expectations, our operating results are likely to be harmed because only small portions of the expenses vary with revenues.

Also, in recent years, we have had relatively stronger demand for our products during the quarter ending December 31 and relatively weaker demand in the quarter ending March 31. We believe that, adjusting for the negative impact in late 1999 caused by Year 2000 concerns, this pattern will continue. This seasonality makes it more difficult to forecast quarterly revenues. Therefore, it is likely that in some future quarter operating results will fall below expectations and as a result, the price of our common stock may be harmed.

As a result of these factors, we believe that quarter-to- quarter comparisons of our revenue, expenses and operating results are likely to vary significantly in the future and that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results are not necessarily meaningful. In any event, such comparisons should not be relied upon as indications of our future performance. In addition, our operating results in one or more future quarters may fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors. If this occurs, we could experience an immediate and significant decline in the trading price of our stock.

Risks Related to the Information Capture Software Industry

If we are not able to effectively compete against other software providers in the information capture software industry, our revenues will not increase and may decrease.

The market for our products is intensely competitive and subject to rapid change. In addition, because there are relatively low barriers to entry in the software market, we may encounter additional competition from many established and emerging companies. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than us, significantly greater name recognition and a large installed base of customers. As a result, our competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of competitive products than we can. There is also a substantial risk that announcements of competing products by large competitors could result in the delay or postponement of customer orders in anticipation of the introduction of such new products.

In addition, current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase the ability of their products to address customer needs. These cooperative relationships may limit our ability to sell our products through particular reseller partners. Accordingly, new competitors or competitive cooperative relationships may emerge and rapidly gain significant market share. We also expect that competition will increase as a result of software industry consolidation. Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced margins and loss of market share, any of which could harm our revenues and business.

If the market for information capture software does not grow, our revenues may not grow.

The market for information capture software is fragmented and extremely competitive. We have spent, and intend to continue to spend; considerable resources educating potential customers about our software products and the information capture market generally. Our expenditures may fail to achieve any additional degree of market acceptance for our products. The rate at which organizations have adopted our existing products has varied significantly, and we expect to continue to experience such variations in the future. If the market for our products grows more slowly than we currently anticipate, our revenues will not grow and our operating results will suffer.

Risks Related to Our Business

Significantly all of our revenues are currently derived from sales of our InputAccel product and related software tools, and if demand for these products declines or fails to grow as we expect, our revenues will be harmed.

We derive substantially all of our revenues from the InputAccel product family and Pixtools software tools. Therefore, our future operating results depend heavily upon continued and widespread market acceptance for our InputAccel products and enhancements to those products. A decline in the demand for InputAccel products as a result of competition, technological change or other factors, would cause our revenues to suffer.

If we are unable to respond in an effective and timely manner to technological change and new products in our industry, our revenues and operating results will suffer.

The market for information capture is characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions and enhancements, uncertain product life cycles, changes in customer demands and evolving industry standards. The introduction of products embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards can render existing products obsolete and unmarketable. Our future success will depend upon our ability to continue to enhance our current products and to develop and introduce new products on a timely basis that keep pace with technological developments and satisfy increasingly sophisticated customer requirements. As a result of the complexities inherent in our software, new products and product enhancements can require long development and testing periods. As a result, significant delays in the general availability of such new releases or significant problems in the installation or implementation of such new releases could harm our operating results and financial condition. We have experienced delays in the past in the release of new products and new product enhancements. We may fail to develop and market on a timely and cost effective basis new products or new product enhancements that respond to technological change, evolving industry standards or customer requirements. We may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction or marketing of these products or that our new products and product enhancements will achieve market acceptance.

Software defects that are discovered in our products could harm our business by damaging our reputation, causing us to lose customers and resulting in significant costs and liabilities.

Our software products are complex and may contain errors or defects, particularly when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. In the past, we have discovered software errors in certain of our new products after their introduction. In addition, our products are combined with complex products developed by other vendors. As a result, should problems occur, it may be difficult to identify the source of the problem. Defects and errors, or end-user perception of defects and errors, found in current versions, new versions or enhancements of our products after commencement of commercial shipments may result in:

The occurrence of any one or more of these factors could harm our revenues and gross margins.

If we cannot manage and expand our international operations, our revenues may not increase and our business and results of operations would be harmed.

In 2001, international sales represented approximately 30% of our revenues, and we anticipate that for the foreseeable future a significant portion of our revenues will be derived from sources outside North America. In addition, we intend to continue to expand our sales and support operations internationally. In order to successfully expand international sales, we may establish additional foreign operations, expand our international sales channel management and support organizations, hire additional personnel, customize our products for local markets, recruit additional international resellers and attempt to increase the productivity of existing international resellers. If we are unable to do these things in a timely and cost-effective manner, our sales growth internationally, if any, will be limited, and our business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed. Even if we are able to successfully expand our international operations, we may not be able to maintain or increase international market demand for our products.

Our international operations are generally subject to a number of risks, including:

To date, the majority of our revenues and costs have been denominated in U.S. dollars. However, we expect that in the future an increasing portion of our revenues and costs will be denominated in foreign currencies. Although we may undertake foreign exchange hedging transactions to reduce our foreign currency transaction exposure, we do not currently attempt to eliminate all foreign currency transaction exposure.

Our future success is dependent on the services of our key management, sales and marketing, technical support and research and development personnel, and those persons' knowledge of our business and technical expertise would be difficult to replace.

Our products and technologies are complex, and we are substantially dependent upon the continued service of our existing key management, sales and marketing, technical support and research and development personnel. Substantially all of our key employees do not have employment agreements. The loss of the services of one or more of our key employees could harm our business and slow our product development processes or sales and marketing efforts.

If we fail to recruit and retain a significant number of qualified technical personnel, we may not be able to develop, introduce or enhance our products on a timely basis.

We require the services of a substantial number of qualified technical support and research and development personnel. The market for these personnel is characterized by intense competition, as well as a high level of employee mobility. These factors make it particularly difficult to attract and retain the qualified technical personnel we require. We have experienced, and we expect to continue to experience, difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled employees with appropriate technical qualifications. If we are unable to recruit and retain a sufficient number of technical personnel, we may not be able to complete development of, or upgrade or enhance, our products in a timely manner. Even if we are able to expand our staff of qualified technical personnel, it may require greater than expected compensation packages that would increase our operating expenses.

If our products fail to perform properly, our customers may assert product liability claims for damages and our reputation and operating results may suffer.

Our products are used in connection with critical business functions and may result in significant liability claims if they do not work properly. Limitation of liability provisions we include in our license agreements may not sufficiently protect us from product liability claims because of limitations in existing or future laws or unfavorable judicial decisions. Although we have not experienced any material product liability claims to date, the sale and support of our products may give rise to claims which may be substantial in light of the use of our products in business-critical applications. Liability claims could require us to spend significant time and money in litigation or to pay significant damages. Any claims for damages, whether or not successful, could seriously damage our reputation and our business.

Risks Related to Our Product's Dependence on Intellectual Property and Our Use of Our Brand

Our reliance upon contractual provisions and domestic copyright and trademark laws to protect our proprietary rights may not be sufficient to protect our intellectual property from others who may sell similar products.

We believe that the steps we have taken to safeguard our intellectual property afford only limited protection. We rely primarily on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights. We license our software products primarily under license agreements. Competitors may develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology or design that do not infringe our copyrights and trade secrets, and this could reduce demand for our products. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of our products is difficult, and although we are unable to determine the extent to which piracy of our software products exists, software piracy can be expected to be a persistent problem.

In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights as fully as do the laws of the U.S. In those countries, reverse engineering, unauthorized copying or other misappropriation of our proprietary technology could enable third parties to benefit from our technology without paying us for it, which would significantly harm our business.

We depend upon software we license from third parties, the loss of which could harm our revenues.

We rely upon certain software that we license from third parties, including software that is integrated with our internally developed software and used in our products to perform key functions. There can be no assurance that these third-party software licenses will continue to be available to the Company on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. The loss of or inability to maintain any such software licenses could result in shipment delays or reductions until equivalent software could be developed identified, licensed and integrated. Such delays would materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

We have invested substantial resources in developing our products and our brand, and our operating results would suffer if we were subject to a protracted infringement claim or one with a significant damage award.

Substantial litigation regarding intellectual property rights and brand names exists in our industry. We expect that software product developers increasingly will be subject to infringement claims as the number of products and competitors in our industry segment grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps. We are not aware that any of our products infringe any proprietary rights of third parties. However, third parties, some with far greater financial resources than us, may claim infringement by our products of their intellectual property rights. Any such claims, with or without merit, could:

 

If we are required to enter into royalty or licensing agreements to resolve an infringement claim, we may not be able to enter into these agreements on terms acceptable to us, if at all. A successful claim of product infringement against us or our failure or inability to either license the infringed or similar technology or develop alternative technology on a timely basis, may harm our operating results, and our financial condition could be harmed because we would not be able to sell the impacted product without redeveloping it or incurring significant additional expenses.

Risks Related to the Market for Our Common Stock and Our Business

We experience volatility in our share price, and investors may not be able to resell shares of our common stock at or above the purchase price.

The market price of our common stock has historically varied from time to time. An investor in shares of our common stock may not be able to resell those shares at or above the price paid. Our common stock price may fluctuate significantly in the future due to:

In addition, The Nasdaq National Market has experienced extreme volatility in recent years that has often been unrelated to the performance of particular companies. Future market fluctuations may cause our stock price to fall regardless of our performance.

Provisions of our charter documents, Delaware law and our rights plan may have anti-takeover effects that could discourage or prevent a change in control, which may suppress our stock price or cause it to decline.

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and a rights plan adopted by our board of directors may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that our common stockholders may consider favorable. Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws:

The rights granted pursuant to the rights agreement entered into as part of our rights plan have anti-takeover effects. The rights may cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire ActionPoint on terms that our board of directors determines are not in the best interests of our stockholders. Certain provisions of Delaware law also may discourage, delay or prevent someone from acquiring or merging with us, which may cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

Item 2. Properties

Our principal administrative, sales, marketing and research and development facility is located in a building of approximately 46,000 square feet in San Jose, California. This facility is leased through February 2004. All of our functions except certain sales activities are performed at this facility. Our European sales activities are conducted from leased facilities near Munich, Germany and London, England. Certain other sales activities are conducted from rented offices in various states in the U.S. We believe that our facilities are adequate for our current needs.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

There are no material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or to which our subsidiaries are subject.

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

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2001.

Overview

We develop, market and service information capture software. Our customers have traditionally been large global 1000 businesses and governmental agencies that use our InputAccel software to convert transaction-related documents, such as order forms, claim forms, or loan applications, into an appropriate electronic format and to transport images of and information from these documents to storage on Web sites, compact disks, or internal databases for subsequent search, retrieval or further processing. Additionally, we market software tools under our Pixel Translations brand to various hardware and software providers.

We sold our Dialog Server product line to Chordiant Software, Inc. on May 17, 2001 for approximately $7.1 million consisting of $2.0 million in cash and 1.7 million shares of Chordiant common stock and recognized a pretax gain of approximately $4.6 million. We also established a valuation allowance against the remaining net deferred tax assets based on our assessment of the uncertainty of the realizability of such assets.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified revenue recognition and accounting for income taxes as critical accounting policies to our company.

Revenue recognition:

We derive our revenue primarily from two sources (i) product revenue, which includes software license and royalty revenue, and (ii) services and support revenue which includes software license maintenance fees, training and professional services revenue. As described below, significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if our management made different judgments or utilized different estimates.

We license our InputAccel software products to end-users on a perpetual basis and our Pixtools software to OEMs on a royalty basis. We apply the provisions of Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition. We recognize InputAccel product revenues upon shipment provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, collection is determined to be probable and no significant undelivered obligations remain. We recognize Pixtools licensing revenue, primarily royalties, when OEM partners ship or pre- purchase rights to ship products incorporating Pixtools software, provided collection of such revenue is determined to be probable. We have no remaining obligations in relation to such licensing revenue. If a significant portion of a fee is due after our normal payment terms, which are 30 to 90 days from invoice date, we account for the fee as not being fixed and determinable. In these cases, we recognize revenue as the fees become due and payable. We assess collectibility based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the credit-worthiness of the customer. We do not request collateral from our customers. If we determine that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, we defer the fee and recognize revenue at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash.

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

For arrangements with multiple obligations (for example, undelivered maintenance and support), we allocate revenue to each component of the arrangement using the residual method under SOP 97-2 based on the fair value of the undelivered elements, which is specific to ActionPoint. This means that we defer revenue from the arrangement fee equivalent to the fair value of the undelivered elements. Fair values for the ongoing maintenance and support obligations are based upon separate sales of renewals to other customers or on renewal rates quoted in the contracts. Fair value of services, such as training or consulting, is based upon separate sales by us of these services to other customers.

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

We recognize revenue for maintenance services ratably over the contract term, which are generally either one or three years. Our training and consulting services are generally billed based on hourly rates, and we recognize revenue as these services are performed. Our deferred revenue is largely comprised of undelivered maintenance services.

Accounting for income taxes:

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

Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. We have recorded a valuation allowance for the full value of our deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2001, due to recent operating losses that create uncertainty in our ability to utilize these deferred tax assets, primarily consisting of certain net operating losses carried forward and R&D tax credits, before they expire.

---------------------

Revenues

We derive the majority of our revenues from product licensing and royalties. Our license revenues decreased by 21% in 2001 to $15.4 million from $19.4 million in 2000 and increased by 8% in 2000 from $17.9 million in 1999. The decrease in license revenue for 2001 is due in part to a weak economy, which led to extended sales cycles and general slowdowns in information technology spending. This contrasts to an increase in license revenue for 2000, which was derived primarily from increased revenues from our InputAccel product line. License and royalties accounted for 70%, 78% and 81% of 2001, 2000 and 1999 total revenues, respectively.

Our service revenues, which are derived from software maintenance and professional consulting, increased by 19% in 2001 to $6.7 million from $5.6 million in 2000 and increased by 30% in 2000 from $4.3 million in 1999. This represents 30%, 22% and 19% of 2001, 2000 and 1999 total revenues. The increase in service revenues in both absolute and percentage terms was primarily attributable to a growing installed base of customers, most of which purchase ongoing software maintenance support.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased by 11% to $18.3 million in 2001 from $20.6 million in 2000 and increased 9% in 2000 from $19.0 million in 1999. Gross profit margin increased to 83% in 2001 from 82% in 2000 and decreased in 2000 from 85% in 1999. Fluctuations in gross profit margins are generally attributable to the mix of product license revenues and lower margin services revenues. We expect revenues from maintenance and services to continue to increase as a percentage of overall revenues. Gross profit margin for product license revenues decreased to 94% from 97% in 2000 and 1999 as a result of additional use of third-party technology. Gross profit margin for services revenues increased to 57% in 2001 compared to 33% and 40% in 2000 and 1999 respectively, largely as a result of expense reductions.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses decreased by 29% in 2001 to $5.6 million from $7.9 million in 2001 and increased by 41% in 2000 from $5.6 million in 1999. The decrease in 2001 is largely related to the sale of the Dialog Server product line in May 2001. The increase in 2000 included significant expenditures incurred for the Dialog Server product line and a one- time stock related bonus expense of $710,000.

Research and development expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue to 25% in 2001, from 31% in 2000, which increased from 25% in 1999.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 27% in 2001 to $12.0 million from $16.4 million in 2000 and increased by 47% in 2000 from $11.2 million in 1999. The decrease in 2001 is largely due to reductions in programmatic and product marketing expenses incurred in 2000 and early 2001 for the Dialog Server product line, which was sold in May 2001. Additionally, there was a one-time stock related bonus expense of $638,000 in 2000.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue to 55% in 2001, from 66% in 2000, which increased from 50% in 1999.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses decreased by 31% in 2001 to $3.3 million from $4.7 million in 2000 and increased by 54% in 2000 from $3.0 million in 1999. Much of the fluctuation in this period relates to a $1.1 million of stock related bonus expense incurred in 2000.

General and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue to 15% in 2001, from 19% in 2000, which increased from 14% in 1999.

Sale of the Dialog Server Product Line

We sold our Dialog Server product line to Chordiant Software, Inc. on May 17, 2001 for approximately $7.1 million consisting of $2.0 million in cash and 1.7 million shares of Chordiant common stock and recognized a pretax gain of approximately $4.6 million. The Chordiant common stock was valued at $3 per share at the transaction date. Of these proceeds, $637,000 in cash remains in escrow at December 31, 2001 pursuant to the asset sale agreement and will be released in May 2002.

Minority Equity Investment

Based on its assessment of the likelihood to realize value, the Company wrote off a $500,000 minority equity interest in the first quarter of 2000. That minority equity investment was obtained in 1998 in conjunction with the sale of the Company's hardware division.

Interest and Other Income

Interest and other income increased in 2001 to $239,000 from $95,000 in 2000 and decreased in 2000 from $631,000 in 1999. The increase in 2001 is due to the additional cash generated by the sale of the Dialog Server product line. The decrease in 2000 was due to a reduction of cash balances.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

The income tax provision recorded in fiscal 2001 of $4.2 million is comprised of the following: tax on the gain from the sale of the Dialog Server product line of $1.7 million, the change in valuation allowance of $3.3 million to reduce net deferred tax assets based on management's assessment of the uncertainty of the realizability of such assets and the provision for foreign taxes of $169,000 offset by the utilization of net operating losses of $1.0 million. In 2000 there was no benefit for income taxes recorded as a result of the pretax losses generated during the year. In 1999, a benefit of $76,000 was recorded as a result of pretax losses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2001, we had cash and cash equivalents of $8.3 million, an increase of $6.1 million from December 31, 2000. The increase is largely a result of the cash generated from the sale of the Dialog Server product line. At December 31, 2000, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2.2 million, a decrease of $7.0 million from December 31, 1999.

At December 31, 2001, working capital totaled $8.1 million, an increase of $3.1 million from December 31, 2000. At December 31, 2000, the working capital totaled $5.0 million, a decrease of $8.9 million from December 31, 1999.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $859,000 in 2001 compared to net cash used by operating activities of $6.9 million in 2000 and $413,000 in 1999. The increase in net cash provided by operations in 2001 is primarily due to reductions in operating expenses together with favorable net movements in working capital. In 2000 and 1999, the funds were utilized to support increased expenses, substantially related to our Dialog Server product family, and in 2000, for cash payments made under a stock-based incentive plan.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $5.1 million in 2001, made up of proceeds from the sale of the Dialog Server product line and related Chordiant common stock and partially offset by additions to property and equipment of $112,000. This compares to cash used for investing activities, exclusively additions to property and equipment of $921,000 in 2000 and $827,000 in 1999.

Our Board of Directors authorized the use of up to $25 million to repurchase our common stock. The repurchased stock is expected to be held by the company and may be used to meet our obligations under our stock plans and for other corporate purposes. Since inception of the plan in 1997 to December 31, 1999, 3.8 million shares have been repurchased for a total of $23.6 million. 1999 repurchases totaled $4.5 million. No purchases were made in 2001 and 2000 respectively. We used cash on hand to fund the purchases.

The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet the Company's liquidity and capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. The Company may, however, seek additional equity or debt financing to fund further expansion. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available at all or that it, if available, will be obtainable on terms favorable to the Company and would not be dilutive. Our only future commitment for cash in the next 12 months consists of operating leases (see Note 5.).

Subsequent Events

On March 4, 2002, we entered a merger agreement with Captiva Software Corporation, a privately held company that provides forms processing software products and services. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Captiva will become a wholly owned subsidiary and we will change our name to Captiva Software Corporation. The merger is subject to necessary approvals from the stockholders of both companies and is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2002.

Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relate primarily to its investment portfolio. The Company maintains an investment policy, which is intended to ensure the safety and preservation of its invested funds by limiting default risk, market risk and reinvestment risk. The Company does not currently use, nor has it historically used, derivative financial instruments to manage or reduce market risk. The Company mitigates default risk by investing in high credit quality securities such as debt instruments of the United States government and its agencies and high quality corporate issuers, as well as money market funds. The portfolio includes only marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity and maintains a prudent amount of diversification. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had $8.3 million of cash and cash equivalents.

The Company does not currently transact any significant portion of its business in functional currencies other than the United States dollar. To the extent that it continues to transact its business using the United States dollar as its functional currency, the Company does not believe that the fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Nature of Business and Liquidity:

The Company:

ActionPoint, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") develops, markets, and services software that helps automate and manage the capture of external information into an organization's internal computing systems. The Company was incorporated in California in January 1986 and was reincorporated in Delaware in September 1993.

Liquidity and capital resources:

The Company has incurred substantial losses and negative cash flows from operations in current and prior periods. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $1.9 million. For the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company incurred negative cash flows from operations of $6.98 million and $413,000. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $2.0 million. The Company may incur additional operating losses and negative cash flows in the future. Failure to generate sufficient revenues, raise additional capital or reduce spending could adversely affect the Company's ability to achieve its intended business objectives.

2. Sale of the Dialog Server Product Line:

The Company sold its Dialog Server product line to Chordiant Software, Inc. on May 17, 2001 for approximately $7.1 million consisting of $2.0 million in cash and 1.7 million shares of Chordiant common stock and recognized a pretax gain of approximately $4.6 million. The Chordiant common stock was valued at $3 per share at the transaction date. Of these proceeds, $637,000 in cash remains in escrow at December 31, 2001 pursuant to the asset sale agreement and will be released in May 2002. In connection with the sale of Dialog Server, the Company also established a valuation allowance against the remaining net deferred tax assets based on its assessment of the uncertainty of the realizability of such assets (see Note 8.)

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, ActionPoint GmbH and ActionPoint (UK) Ltd. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

In preparing the Company's consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to translate the financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries from the currency in which they keep their accounting records, generally the local currency, into US dollars, the reporting currency. This process results in exchange gains and losses which, under the relevant accounting guidance are either included within the statement of operations or as a separate part of net equity under the caption cumulative translation adjustment. If any subsidiary's functional currency is deemed to be the local currency, then any gain or loss associated with the translation of that subsidiary's financial statements is included in cumulative translation adjustments. However, if the functional currency were deemed to be the US dollar then any gain or loss associated with the translation of these financial statements would be included within the statements of operations.

The functional currencies of the Company's subsidiaries are the local currencies. Accordingly, all assets, liabilities and expenses of these subsidiaries are translated at the current exchange rate at the end of the period, except for property and equipment, which is translated at historical rates. Revenues are translated at the exchange rates in effect when revenue is recognized. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included in results of operations. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions were not significant during any of the periods presented.

Use of Estimates:

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

Revenue Recognition:

Revenue is generated primarily from two sources (i) product revenue, which includes software license and royalty revenue, and (ii) services and support revenue, which includes software license maintenance fees, training and professional services revenue. License revenue is recognized upon shipment provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, collection is determined to be probable and no significant undelivered obligations remain. Royalty revenue is recognized when OEM partners ship or pre-purchase rights to ship products incorporating the Company's software, provided collection of such revenue is determined to be probable and there are no further obligations. Services and support revenue is recognized ratably over the period of the maintenance contract or as the services are provided. Payments for maintenance fees and services are generally made in advance and are non-refundable.

For arrangements with multiple obligations (e.g. delivered and undelivered products, maintenance and other services), the Company allocates revenue to each component of the arrangement based on the fair value of the undelivered elements, which is specific to the Company, using the residual method. The fair values for ongoing maintenance and support obligations are based upon separate sales of renewals to customers or upon substantive renewal rates quoted in the agreements. The fair values for services, such as training or consulting, are based upon separate sales of these services to other customers. Deferred revenue is primarily comprised of undelivered maintenance services.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity from date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and equivalent consists of cash and money market funds at cost, which approximates fair value.

Concentration of Credit Risk:

The Company sells its products primarily to customers located in North America and Europe. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses, which have been within management's expectations. Substantially all cash and cash equivalents are held by one bank.

Fair value of financial instruments:

The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, which include cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

Certain Risks and Concentrations:

The Company's products are concentrated in the data capture and document management industry, which is highly competitive and rapidly changing. Significant technological changes in the industry, including changes in computing platforms, changes in customer requirements, the infringement of proprietary patent, or the emergence of a major direct competitor could affect operating results adversely. In addition, a significant portion of the Company's revenue is derived from international sales. Fluctuations of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies or local economic conditions could adversely affect operating results and cash flows.

Property and Equipment:

Office equipment, machinery and software are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization and depreciated on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of three years. Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lesser of their useful lives or the related lease term.

Software Development Costs:

Costs incurred in the research and development of new products and enhancements to existing products are charged to expense as incurred until the technological feasibility of the product or enhancement has been established. After establishing technological feasibility, material development costs incurred through the date the product is available for general release to customers would be capitalized and amortized over the estimated product life. To date, the period between achievements of technological feasibility, which the Company defines as the establishment of a working model, until the general availability of such software to customers, has been short and software development costs qualifying for capitalization have been insignificant. Accordingly, the Company has not capitalized any software development costs since its inception.

Impairment of long-lived assets:

The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of ("SFAS 121"). SFAS 121 requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets upon the occurrence of certain events and if the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets.

Stock-Based Compensation:

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"), Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation - an Interpretation of APB 25" ("FIN 44") and complies with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123").

Under APB 25, compensation expense for grants to employees is based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant, between the fair value of the Company's stock and the option's exercise price. SFAS 123 defines a "fair value" based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. The pro forma disclosure of the difference between compensation expense included in net loss and the related cost measured by the fair value method is presented in Note 6.

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non- employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services" ("EITF 96-18") and FASB Interpretation No. 28, "Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans" ("FIN 28").

Advertising:

The Company expenses the costs of advertising as the expenses are incurred. The costs of advertising consist primarily of magazine advertisements, brochures, and other direct production costs. Costs associated with trade shows are charged to expense upon completion of the trade show. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999 was $1.1 million, $2.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Income Taxes:

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

Computation of Net Loss Per Share:

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for that period. Diluted net loss per share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options.

A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of basic and diluted EPS is provided as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Comprehensive Income:

Comprehensive income includes all changes in equity during the period from non-owner sources. To date, the Company has not had any material transactions that are required to be reported in comprehensive income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141 requires the purchase method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and eliminates the pooling- of-interests method. Management of the Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 141 on the financial statements.

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization. In addition, the standard includes provisions upon adoption for the reclassification of certain existing recognized intangibles as goodwill, reassessment of the useful lives of existing recognized intangible assets, reclassification of certain intangible assets out of previously reported goodwill and the testing for impairment of existing goodwill and other intangible assets. This standard will require that management perform an impairment review of the goodwill balance upon the initial adoption of SFAS No. 142. Management of the Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 142 on the financial statements.

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS No. 144"). SFAS No. 144 addresses significant issues relating to the implementation of SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, and develops a single accounting method under which long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale are measured at the lower of book value or fair value less cost to sell. Additionally, SFAS No. 144 expands the scope of discontinued operations to include all components of an entity with operations that (1) can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and (2) will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal transaction. SFAS No. 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and its provisions are to be applied prospectively. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 144 will not have a significant impact on its financial statements.

In May 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF Issue No. 00-14, Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives. EITF Issue No. 00-14 addresses the recognition, measurement, and income statement classification for sales incentives that a vendor voluntarily offers to customers (without charge), who the customer can use in, or exercise as a result of, a single exchange transaction. Sales incentives that fall within the scope of EITF Issue No. 00-14 includes offers that a customer can use to receive a reduction in the price of a product or service at the point of sale. The EITF changed the transition date for Issue 00-14, concluding that a company should apply this consensus no later than the company's annual or interim financial statements for the periods beginning after December 15, 2001.

In June 2001, the EITF issued EITF Issue No. 00-25, Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the Vendor's Products, effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2001. EITF Issue No. 00-25 addresses whether consideration from a vendor to a reseller is (a) an adjustment of the selling prices of the vendor's products and, therefore, should be deducted from revenue when recognized in the vendor's statement of operations or (b) a cost incurred by the vendor for assets or services received from the reseller and, therefore, should be included as a cost or expense when recognized in the vendor's statement of operations. Upon application of these EITFs, financial statements for prior periods presented for comparative purposes should be reclassified to comply with the income statement display requirements under these Issues.

In September of 2001, the EITF issued EITF Issue No. 01-09, Accounting for Consideration Given by Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor's Products, which is a codification of EITF Issues No. 00-14, No. 00-25 and No. 00-22, Accounting for Points and Certain Other Time-or Volume-Based Sales Incentive Offers and Offers for Free Products or Services to be delivered in the Future. Management of the Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of these issues on the financial statements.

Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $763,000, $815,000, and $556,000 in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

5. Commitments:

The Company has entered into various operating leases for its facilities and sales offices, which expires at various dates through 2009. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period and has accrued for rent expense incurred but not paid. Future minimum lease commitments due under these non-cancelable operating leases are as follows (in thousands):


Year ending December 31,

     2002...............................    $1,251

      Total.............................    $3,288
                                          =========

Rent expense was approximately $1.3 million, $1.3 million and $1.2 million in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

  1. Stockholders' Equity:

Preferred Stock: The Board of Directors is authorized to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions (including voting rights) of preferred stock without any further vote or action by the stockholders. The Board is also authorized to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series. At December 31, 2001, there were 2,000,000 shares of $.01 par value preferred stock authorized. No preferred shares were issued and outstanding at December 31, 2001, 2000, or 1999.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan: The Board of Directors has reserved 200,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 1993 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, 130,000 shares under the 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and 350,000 shares under the 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Employees may elect to have the Company withhold up to 10% of their compensation for the purchase of the Company's common stock. The amounts withheld are used to purchase the Company's common stock at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of the stock on the first day of a two-year offering or the last day of a six-month purchase period, whichever is lower. The number of shares employees may purchase is subject to certain limitations.

Stock Option Plan: The Company has established the 1993 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the "1993 Plan") and the 1999 Stock Plan (the "1999 Plan"). As amended, the 1993 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 3,274,852 shares of common stock over the term of the Plan, pursuant to the grant of incentive stock and non-qualified stock options and the direct issuance of shares to eligible employees, independent consultants and non-employee directors. The 1999 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 700,000 shares of common stock over the term of the Plan, pursuant to the grant of non-qualified stock options and the direct issuance of shares to eligible employees, independent consultants and non-employee directors.

In 1999, the Company issued an option to purchase 47,750 shares of common stock to a consulting firm with which it has an ongoing business relationship, pursuant to the 1999 Plan. The fully vested option, with a strike price of $ 4.88 per share, was valued using the Black-Scholes option- pricing model on the date of grant. The fair value of approximately $60,000 was recorded as consulting expense in the year ended December 31, 2000 as earned. The option expires in 2009 and was unexercised at December 31, 2001.

Under these stock option plans, the exercise price per share is determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The exercise price of an incentive stock option cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date and the exercise price of a non-qualified stock option cannot be less than 85% of such fair market value. Options generally vest over four years and are exercisable for a term of ten years.

Aggregate activity under the plans is as follows (in thousands per share amounts):

The number of unexercised options as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 was 1,757,000 and 1,104,000, respectively.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 2001, 2000, and 1999:

                                      2001         2000         1999

The weighted average grant date fair value of those options granted in 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $1.73, $4.60 and $2.79 respectively. The Company has also estimated the fair value for the purchase rights issued under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan, under the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions for 2001, 2000 and 1999:


                                      2001         2000         1999

The following pro forma information has been prepared following the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (in thousands except per share data):

                                      2001         2000         1999

  Basic and diluted EPS - proform      ($0.64)      ($2.59)      ($0.33)


The above pro forma effects on net income (loss) may not be representative of the effects on net income (loss) for future years as option grants typically vest over several years and additional options are generally granted each year.

On August 3, 2001, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock option exchange program (the "Exchange Program"). Under the Exchange Program, employees were given the opportunity to exchange one or more new stock options previously granted to them in exchange for a promise to receive one or more new stock options to be granted at least six months and a day after the old options were cancelled provided the individual is still employed or providing service on such date. The participation deadline for this Exchange Program was August 31, 2001. The new options will have the same vesting start date as the old options and will be immediately exercisable as to the vested shares when granted. In total, 1,137,629 stock options were returned to the Company and cancelled as a result of this Exchange Program. On March 2, 2002, 1,137,629 stock options were issued under the Exchange Program at a fair market value of $2.43 per share.

7. Business Segments:

The Company has determined that it has a single reportable segment consisting of the development; marketing and servicing of information capture software. Management uses one measurement of profitability and does not disaggregate its business for internal reporting. Operations outside the United States primarily consist of sales offices in United Kingdom and Germany, responsible for the sales activities to foreign customers, invoiced by the Company's headquarters in the United States. The foreign subsidiaries do not carry any significant long-lived assets, and income and assets of the Company's foreign subsidiaries were not significant for any period presented.

Revenue from external customers by geographic area for each of the three fiscal periods is presented in the following table:

                       Year ended December 31,
                         2001      2000      1999

At December 31, 2001, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards available to reduce its future taxable income of approximately $14.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively, for federal and state income tax purposes. The federal and state operating losses begin to expire in 2003. In addition, the Company has $1.4 million of research and development tax credits available to offset future U.S. federal income tax. For California franchise tax purposes, the Company has research and development tax credit carry forwards of $1.0 million. These credits begin to expire for federal purposes in 2004 and have no expiration for state purposes.

The income tax provision of $4.2 million is comprised of the following: tax on the gain from the sale of the Dialog Server product line of $1.7 million, the change in valuation allowance of $3.3 million to reduce net deferred tax assets based on management's assessment of the uncertainty of the realizability of such assets and the provision for foreign taxes of $169,000 offset by the utilization of net operating losses of $1.0 million. In 2000 there was no benefit for income taxes recorded as a result of the pretax losses generated during the year. In 1999, a benefit of $76,000 was recorded as a result of pretax losses.

For federal and state tax purposes, the Company's net operating loss carry forwards are subject to certain limitations on annual utilization in the event of changes in ownership, as defined by federal and state law.

9. Stock Related Bonus Plan

On October 8, 1999, the Company adopted (and further amended on December 29, 1999 and February 1, 2000) a stock related bonus plan that, upon a specified increase to the Company's per share stock price, would result in bonus payments of $2.6 million, consisting of a combination of cash and stock to executive officers.

During February 2000 the Company satisfied the requirements for payment of bonuses pursuant to the plan.

10. Employee Benefit Plan

The Company provides a 401(K) Plan to its employees providing tax deferred salary deductions for eligible employees. Participants may make voluntary contributions between 1% and 20% of their compensation subject to certain annual maximums. The Company matches 50% of employee contributions with a maximum of $2,000 per employee. The Plan provides for additional Company contributions at its discretion. Total contributions made by the Company were $216,000, $286,000 and $212,000 during 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

11. Stock Repurchase Programs

Since February 1997 through February 2002, the Company's Board of Directors has authorized the use of up to $25 million to repurchase the Company's common stock. Through December 31, 1999 the Company had repurchased 3.8 million shares for a total of $23.6 million. No repurchases were made in 2000 or 2001. The repurchased stock was cancelled and added to the pool to be used to meet the Company's obligations under its stock plans and for other corporate purposes. Purchases have been and may continue to be made from time- to-time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and volume of purchases will be dependent upon market conditions and other factors.

  1. Subsequent Event

On March 4, 2002, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Captiva Software Corporation ("Captiva"), a privately- held company that provides forms processing software products and services. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Captiva will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company will change its name to Captiva Software Corporation. The merger is subject to necessary approvals from the stockholders of both companies and is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2002.
