Company Overview
Logility, Inc. (Logility or the Company) was incorporated as a Georgia corporation in July 1996. Logility provides collaborative supply chain solutions to streamline and optimize the management, production and
distribution of products between manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, retailers, carriers and other organizations and their respective trading partners. The supply chain refers to the complex network of relationships that organizations maintain
with trading partners (customers, suppliers and carriers) to source, manufacture, and deliver products and services to the customer and includes demand chain, supply chain, logistics, warehouse management and business-to-business process management
for collaborative relationships between customers, suppliers and carriers. Our solutions enable enterprises to build competitive advantages and increase profitability by significantly improving efficiencies, collaborating with suppliers and
customers, more effectively responding to market demand and engaging in dynamic business relationships via the Internet.
Logility Voyager Solutions consists of an Internet and Client/Server based,
integrated software suite that provides advanced supply chain management including collaborative planning, strategic network design,
3
optimized supply sourcing, warehouse management, and collaborative logistics capabilities that are designed to increase revenues, reduce inventory costs, improve forecast accuracy, decrease order
cycle times, optimize production scheduling, streamline logistics operations, reduce transportation costs and improve customer service across our customers supply chains, corporate Internet portals and public e-Business trading exchanges.
We derive revenues from three primary sources:
License. License revenues are derived from license agreements for software usage, based upon the number of modules licensed
and the number of servers, users and/or sites for which the solution is designed.
Maintenance. Revenues derived from maintenance contracts primarily include telephone consulting, product updates, and releases of new versions of products previously purchased by the customer, as well as
error reporting and correction services.
Services. Revenues derived
from services primarily include consulting, implementation, and training.
Leveraging our supply chain management
expertise, Logility has been an innovator in developing and deploying collaborative supply chain management solutions, with our first Internet-based collaborative planning solution implemented in 1996. We continue to invest and expand our e-Business
offerings and innovative solutions, which support the Voluntary Interindustry Commerce Standards Association (VICS), collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment (CPFR®) standards, as well as other emerging collaborative supply chain management standards for transportation and distribution center management. In
addition to enterprise supply chain optimization and collaboration, we designed our Logility Voyager Solutions suite and related services to power the emerging Internet trading exchanges and private marketplaces for collaborative planning and
procurement of direct materials and collaborative transportation management.
Our software solution is modular and
scaleable to meet the management requirements of complex organizations involving tens of thousands of products across multiple sites. In addition, customers can integrate our solutions with existing software systems and a variety of Internet and
client-server operating environments and platforms. We have licensed one or more modules of Logility Voyager Solutions to more than 400 companies worldwide, including British Telecommunications, CITGO, ConAgra, Eastman Chemical Company, Epson
America, Florida Power & Light, Heineken USA, The HoneyBaked Ham Company, Huhtamaki (UK) Limited, Komatsu, LOreal USA, Magneti Marelli, McCain Foods Limited, Mercury Marine, Pharmacia, Pfizer International, Porsche, Rand McNally, Reynolds
Metals, Sony Electronics, VF Corporation, and Xpedx. We sell our products and services through direct and indirect channels. We derived approximately 13% of our revenues in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2002 from international sales.
Industry Background
In response to global competitive pressures, companies are continually seeking new ways to enhance the productivity of their enterprise business systems and processes. Those companies that effectively communicate, collaborate and
integrate with their trading partners within the extended enterprise or supply chain can realize significant competitive advantages in the form of lower costs, greater customer responsiveness, and increased revenue. Supply chain
management refers to the process of managing the complex network of relationships that organizations maintain with external trading partners (suppliers, manufacturers, distributors and retailers) to source, manufacture and deliver goods and services
to the end consumer. Supply chain management involves both the activities related to supplying products or services (source, make, move, buy, store, and deliver) as well as the sales and marketing activities that impact the demand for goods and
services, such as promotions, pricing and forecasting.
Today several market trends are driving organizations to
expand collaboration with trading partners along the supply chain. A general shift in market power has forced manufacturers and distributors to become more
4
responsive to retailers and consumers, which has increased the demand for improved planning capabilities. At the same time, competitive pressures are forcing manufacturers to reduce costs,
decrease order cycle times and improve operating efficiencies. As a result, manufacturers and distributors are increasingly under pressure to better manage the supply chain as they seek to improve manufacturing efficiency and logistics operations
while maintaining flexibility and responsiveness to changing market conditions and customer demands. These pressures are compounded by the increasing complexity and globalization of the interactions among suppliers, manufacturers, distributors,
retailers and consumers.
The growth and rapid adoption of the Internet has enhanced the ability of organizations
along the supply chain to integrate their processes through collaborative planning to synchronize internal assets and production with external demand and supplier capabilities. Behind this growing adoption are technologies and concepts that are
converging to harness opportunities to significantly reduce costs, sell products, and optimize operations that facilitate e-Business and the integration of supply chains comprised of suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers and customers.
These networked supply chains are evolving into Internet-based trading exchanges or marketplaces, re-engineering business processes to improve flexibility and responsiveness to changing market conditions. The result is
business-to-business e-Business, focused on planning, forecasting, procurement of direct materials and fulfillment and delivery of customer orders.
AMR Research (AMR Research, The Supply Chain Management Applications Report, 2001-2006, June 2002) states that In 2001, the overall Supply Chain Management market grew by 12%
to $5.6 billion. A similar growth pattern will continue, with the real strength expected in the second half of 2002. AMR Research estimates that the market will continue to grow at 13% to reach $6.4 billion in total revenue for the year 2002.
There can be no assurance, however, that the market for our products or services will grow at this projected rate.
To leverage the Internet for commercial benefit and facilitate enhanced collaboration among the various trading partners in the supply chain, organizations are increasingly deploying business-to-business e-Business solutions to
address their planning and supply chain execution requirements. The planning function involves the use of information to facilitate the delivery of the right products on time to the correct location and at the lowest cost. The planning process
focuses on demand forecasting, inventory simulation, event planning, distribution, transportation and manufacturing planning and scheduling. Planning software is designed to increase revenues, improve forecast accuracy, optimize production
scheduling, reduce inventory costs, decrease order cycle times, reduce transportation costs, and improve customer service. The supply chain execution function addresses procuring, manufacturing, warehousing, order fulfillment and distributing
products throughout the supply chain. Within the supply chain execution function, organizations are increasing their focus on the effective management of warehouse and transportation operations and the need for integration with planning systems and
other enterprise applications, in order to increase the efficient and effective fulfillment of customer orders in the business-to-business and the business-to-consumer sectors.
In order to effectively manage and coordinate supply chain activities, companies require supply chain planning, supply chain execution, and supply chain event management
software that provides for integrated communication, optimization and collaboration among the various constituents throughout the supply chain network. This enhanced collaboration synchronizes production plans with demand forecasts, thereby
minimizing bottlenecks that lead to production delays and excess inventory. Companies that have implemented our advanced collaboration processes such as collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment (CPFR) have seen benefits such as
increased revenues, lower operational costs and shortened cycle times. According to the Voluntary Interindustry Commerce Standards Association (VICS), of which a representative of Logility is an advisory board member on the CPFR subcommittee,
CPFR is a business process model for supply chain partners to coordinate plans in order to reduce variance between supply and demand. VICS developed this process in conjunction with major retailers, manufacturers and suppliers to enable
effective collaboration. CPFR is a business model that changes the nature of the relationship between trading partners.
In addition, companies seek integrated planning and supply chain execution systems that further optimize the flow of products to their customers through enhanced transportation and warehouse management capabilities.
5
Organizations are also demanding solutions that are modular and scaleable to fit the changing needs of the organization and that can be rapidly deployed.
Strategy
Our
objective is to be the leading provider of collaborative supply chain solutions to enable companies to optimize their operations associated with the sourcing, manufacture and distribution of products in distribution-intensive target markets such as
consumer goods, retail and process manufacturing. Our strategy includes the following key elements:
Leverage and Expand Installed Base of Customers. We currently target businesses in the consumer goods, retail, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and aftermarket distribution supply chains
consisting of suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. We intend to continue to leverage our installed base of more than 400 customers to introduce additional functionality, product upgrades, complementary modules, and application
hosting services. In addition, we intend to expand sales to new customers in our existing vertical markets and to target additional vertical markets over time.
Continue to Expand Sales and Marketing. We intend to continue to pursue an increased share of the supply chain market for
software solutions by focusing our sales and marketing activities on supply chain collaboration, optimization and logistics initiatives in distribution-intensive industries such as consumer products, retail, food and beverage, and aftermarket
distribution. We believe our competitive advantage includes providing the most rapid implementation, an easy-to-maintain configuration, and rapid time-to-benefit across the full suite of supply chain products. We intend to continue building a direct
sales force that is focused on selected vertical markets, such as consumer goods, retail and manufacturing supply chains.
Expand Indirect Channels to Increase Market Penetration. We believe that key relationships with value added resellers will increase sales and expand market penetration of our products and
services. In the fiscal year ended April 30, 2002, we established a strategic relationship with SSA Global Technologies to market, sell, implement and support components of the Logility Voyager Solutions suite as the BPCS Collaborative
Commerce Suite powered by Logility.
Maintain Technology
Leadership. We believe that we are a technology leader in the field of collaborative commerce and supply chain optimization solutions and intend to continue to provide innovative, advanced solutions and services to this
market. We believe that we were one of the earliest providers of supply chain planning software solutions on a client-server platform and on Windows NT, and the first to introduce a collaborative supply chain planning solution that operates over the
Internet. We intend to continue to develop and introduce new and enhanced products and keep pace with technological developments and emerging industry standards. The Logility Voyager Solutions suite is available on the Windows NT/2000, Unix and
iSeries (AS/400) server platforms and supports Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and DB2 databases.
Extend e-Business Strategy. We continued an e-Business initiative in fiscal year 2002 to deliver a full suite of products and services for Internet-based collaborative supply chain planning and
execution to increase supply chain visibility and accelerate the benefits of optimized operations.
Invest Aggressively to Build Market Share. We will continue to invest to expand our sales force, research and development efforts, and consulting infrastructure, balanced with our goal of increasing
profitability. We believe investments are necessary to increase our market share and to capitalize on the growth opportunities in the emerging business-to-business e-Business market.
Acquire or Invest in Complementary Businesses, Products and Technologies. We believe that select acquisitions or investments
may provide opportunities to broaden our product offering to provide more advanced solutions for e-Business that complement or expand our solutions and target markets.
6
Focus on Integrated Collaborative Planning and Supply Chain
Execution Solution. We believe we are one of the few providers of truly integrated supply chain management software solutions addressing demand and supply planning as well as transportation and warehousing logistics
requirements. Logility Voyager Solutions provides a comprehensive suite for supply chain planning and execution with collaboration at its core, streamlining business processes between both internal and external trading partners. We intend to
continue to focus our development initiatives on enhancing our end-to-end solution and introducing additional capabilities that complement our integrated solution.
Focus on MidMarket. We have defined as MidMarket those corporations or divisions of corporations that have annual
revenues ranging from $200 million to $3 billion. Organizations of this size fit our historical customer profile, and are prime candidates to license our unique full suite of integrated products operating on Windows NT/Windows 2000, iSeries
(AS/400), and UNIX platforms.
Increase Penetration of International
Markets. In the fiscal year ended April 30, 2002, we generated 13% of our total revenues from international sales, resulting from marketing relationships with a number of international distributors. We intend to expand our
international presence by creating additional relationships with distributors in Latin America, Europe, and the Asia/Pacific region.
Expand Strategic Relationships. We intend to expand the depth and number of strategic relationships with leading enterprise software, systems integrators and e-Business
vendors to integrate the Logility Voyager Solutions suite into their services and products and to create joint marketing opportunities. We have a number of marketing alliances, including those with IBM, INSIGHT, Inc., Microsoft Great Plains,
New Breed, and SSA Global Technologies. In addition, we have developed a network of international agents who assist in the sale and support of our products. We intend to utilize these and future relationships with software and service organizations
to enhance our sales and marketing position.
Continue to Focus on Providing High Quality
Customer Service. Providing high quality customer service is a critical element of our strategy. We intend to continue to invest in technology and personnel to accommodate the needs of our growing customer base. Logility
will continue to seek new ways to improve service to customers.
There can be no assurance, however, that we will
be successful in implementing the strategy outlined above.

Comprehensive Planning Solution. Our planning solution is comprised of demand, inventory, event, life cycle, replenishment, supply, manufacturing, and transportation planning modules that balance demand
opportunities with supply constraints through the synchronization of information gathered from supply chain participants. A key benefit of our planning solution components is its emphasis on addressing the full range of complex demand planning
requirements of our customers, including comprehensive forecasting capabilities that take into account each users unique perspective of the supply chain. Additionally, the solution implements and manages key business goals such as profit
maximization or cost minimization, traditional distribution resource planning (DRP), and advanced planning systems (APS). It does so by applying financial and optimization capabilities to sourcing decisions, enabling companies with complex supply
chains to balance profits, costs, and service while simultaneously considering all supply chain constraints.
Robust Supply Chain Execution Solution. The Supply Chain Execution components of Logility Voyager Solutions support the needs of single or multi-site operations. We accomplish this by
systematically balancing logistics strategies, customer service policies, carrier effectiveness and inventory levels to optimize warehouse and transportation operations and leverage collaboration with carriers to optimize the distribution network,
gain greater visibility of inventory in-transit and improve customer service.
Rapid
Deployment. Our products utilize a modular design centered around proven business processes that streamline implementation and accelerate deployment. The comprehensive functionality of each module generally permits
customers to implement the solutions with nominal modifications. In addition, our software combines sophisticated techniques and tools with intuitive, Windows- and browser-based user interfaces to reduce training requirements and accelerate
implementation tasks.

DEMAND CHAIN PLANNING
These solutions provide the visibility to increase forecast accuracy by as much as 40%. They create a comprehensive overview of demand.
With demand patterns revealed, companies can build plans that are far more attuned to the market.
Life Cycle
Planning provides collaborative life cycle planning, enabling the supply chain to effectively control each phase in a products sunrise-to-sunset cycleincluding introduction, maturity, replacement, substitution and retirementto
ensure that the right products are available at the point of customer demand.
The Demand Planning module
reconciles demand history, existing customer orders, point-of-sale data, market forecasts and other information to generate a graphical representation of demand by item, location, customer and/or group. Demand Planning has an automatic
self-correcting, self-selecting modeling process that utilizes a number of advanced forecasting models to generate sales, marketing, logistics and other forecasts. The system allows for user-override of certain modeling parameters, such as
quantities or percentages, to account for promotions, supply constraints and other what-if scenarios.
The Inventory Planning module is designed to determine the optimal balance between inventory and service levels. With extensive simulation capabilities, Inventory Planning helps manufacturers and distributors reduce
inventory costs while meeting customer service requirements at the individual stock keeping unit (SKU) level. Built around industry best practices, Inventory Planning can enhance planning and scheduling of inventory while taking into
consideration replenishment frequency and order size, seasonal build and manufacturing plans. Companies can apply service level targets and policies individually to every product within an enterprise or uniformly throughout the various product
lines.
Event Planning is a causal-based forecasting solution designed to facilitate product life-cycle
management and promotion planning, and provide forecasting capabilities to help determine the impact of promotions, price changes or other events, enabling manufacturers to adjust production to match changing demand. Event Planning utilizes
advanced algorithms based on neural network techniques that allow the system to refine forecasting by incorporating the results of ongoing promotions and other activities.
Demand Chain Voyager. Through the use of the Internet, the Demand Chain Voyager module extends the reach of Demand Planning by allowing remote users to
view corporate forecasts and to input demand data in real-time. Demand Chain Voyager provides an online, updated schedule of events including promotions, product launches and holidays. In addition, it allows for the revision of inventory
goals and objectives such as service levels and turns.
SUPPLY CHAIN PLANNING
Logility offers support for optimizing assets, synchronizing supply, and planning order fulfillment. With multiple and simultaneous
sourcing capabilities, supply issues and alternatives are immediately visible.
The Manufacturing Planning
module is designed as a constraint-based planning solution that balances manufacturing processes and resources with demand priorities and corporate objectives. Manufacturing Planning models the operations of a business by capturing
capacity constraints, such as equipment capabilities, intermediate storage limitations, shop floor calendars and raw material availability and production constraints, such as synchronization of multi-step operations, product sequencing, production
changeovers and inventory policies. Manufacturing Planning enables collaborative decision-making by comparing the feasibility and cost effectiveness of various scheduling strategies through the use of simulation.
12
The Supply Planning module supports sourcing options based on business
goals such as profit maximization or cost minimization. It also balances manufacturing constraints and applies advanced financial and optimization capabilities to sourcing decisions. Supply Planning enables companies with complex supply
chains to balance profits, costs, and service while simultaneously considering all supply chain constraints to satisfy business requirements.
The Replenishment Planning module addresses the planning needs of an organization to determine the optimal balance between customer service levels and inventory. Replenishment Planning
takes into account manufacturing constraints, inventory investment, desired service levels, and current orders and commitments. Features of Replenishment Planning include automatic detailed item planning to balance delivery loads and
orders, filtered order review, SKU change simulation and constrained distribution requirements planning. The benefits of Replenishment Planning include, among others, faster inventory turns, optimized inventory levels and the ability to
allocate customer orders based on user-defined priorities. Replenishment Planning provides support for continuous replenishment strategies, such as Vendor Managed Inventory, Quick Response and Efficient Consumer Response.
The Transportation Planning module synchronizes transportation plans with demand, inventory, manufacturing and
replenishment strategies. Transportation Planning consolidates shipments and determines the optimal transportation mode and carrier while providing a list of alternatives. The solution includes a Load Control Center that reviews all inbound,
outbound and inter-facility shipments and provides an integrated view of all orders requiring shipping decisions. We have designed this product to reduce freight costs, improve customer service levels and increase responsiveness to customer
requirements.
SUPPLY CHAIN EXECUTION
We provide capabilities for managing both inventory and transportation with our Supply Chain Execution Solution. With these applications, companies can systematically
balance logistics strategies, customer service policies, carrier effectiveness and inventory management.
Transportation Management facilitates the timely execution of the optimized shipping plan developed by the Transportation Planning module. It includes load tendering and shipment tracking via Electronic Data Interchange
(EDI), e-mail or automatic fax. The freight audit and payment capabilities enable flexible reporting of landed cost by shipment, customer or product group. The module is designed to reduce freight costs, improve carrier utilization and provide
comprehensive freight management reporting.
WarehousePRO incorporates advanced workflow technology,
industry-specific practices and radio frequency data collection terminals to optimize warehouse operations. The softwares object-oriented design allows users to define the properties of specific items, locations, or processes, thereby reducing
the need for custom programming. The solution is highly flexible and can be reconfigured by the user to adapt to changing business requirements. WarehousePRO features an extensive workflow library of user-selected templates incorporating
industry-specific best-practice warehousing techniques. With built-in standard interfaces to major radio frequency data collection systems, the software delivers more accurate inventory accountability and improved warehouse efficiency.
WarehousePROs performance analysis tools generate graphical reports that illustrate productivity gains, warehouse efficiency and inventory controls, enabling users to make real-time management decisions.
We typically determine the price for our products based upon the number of modules licensed and the number of servers, users and/or sites
for which the solution is designed. During fiscal year ended April 30, 2002, license fees for new customers ranged from $175,000 to $1.1 million.

No single customer accounted for 10% or more of our total revenues
during fiscal year 2002. We typically experience a slight degree of seasonality with regards to a slowing of services revenues during the annual holiday season, which occurs in the third quarter of our fiscal year. The extent of our backlog is
accounted for in deferred revenues (refer to note 1(b) in Notes to Combined Financial Statements). We are not reliant on government customers.
Sales and Marketing
We market our products through direct and indirect sales channels. We
conduct our principal sales and marketing activities from corporate headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, and have sales and/or support offices in Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Pittsburgh, and Portland. We manage sales channels outside of North America from
our international offices in the United Kingdom, France, and Spain.
We have a number of alliances, including
those with IBM, Insight, Microsoft Great Plains, New Breed, and SSA Global Technologies. Generally, these marketing alliance agreements provide the vendors with non-exclusive rights to market our products and access to our marketing materials and
product training. Some highlights of these agreements are as follows:
|
|
|
IBMWe entered into an agreement with IBM on March 17, 2000 pursuant to which we modified our Supply Chain products, with IBMs technical and
financial assistance, to operate with IBMs eServer
|
14
iSeries (AS/400) platform. Also, we agreed to market and support the IBM-compatible Supply Chain products that resulted from our efforts. IBM may also market the supply chain products and refer
potential customers to us.
|
|
|
InsightOur agreement with Insight, dated April 24, 1998, grants us a seven-year, worldwide, non-exclusive right and license to sublicense and
distribute certain of Insights products, and to promote and market those products. |
|
|
|
Microsoft Great Plains Business SolutionsOn June 28, 2000 we granted to Great Plains Software a worldwide non-exclusive license to name, package,
promote, modify, market, distribute and supply certain of our products under either our label or a label that included the name Great Plains, along with an agreement by Great Plains to promote and sell the software. Due in part to
reorganizations and changes in strategy following Microsofts acquisition of Great Plains, license fee revenue under this agreement have not been substantial. Currently, we are discussing with Microsoft Great Plains terminating the existing
agreement and entering into another partnership program with Microsoft. At this time, we do not anticipate that our relationship with Microsoft Great Plains will result in substantial revenue during fiscal 2003, if any.
|
|
|
|
New BreedOur agreement grants New Breed a non-exclusive worldwide right and license to install and use our Transportation Planning and Management
and Voyager Fulfill software to perform data processing services for 3Plexs customers. The term of the license varies depending on the licensed product. |
|
|
|
SSA Global TechnologiesOn November 17, 2001, we granted SSA Global Technologies a worldwide, non-exclusive license to name, package, market,
distribute and supply the Logility Voyager Solutions suite as BPCS Collaborative Commerce powered by Logility. The agreement terminates November 16, 2004, but may be automatically renewed for successive one-year terms. In
exchange, SSA Global Technologies agreed to use all reasonable efforts to promote and sell the software. |
In addition to these marketing alliances, we have developed a network of international agents who assist in selling our products in 12 countries. We intend to utilize these and future relationships with software and service
organizations to enhance our sales and marketing position. These independent distributors and resellers located in Central America, Europe and the Asia/Pacific region distribute our product lines in foreign countries. These vendors typically sell
their own consulting and systems integration services in conjunction with licensing our products.
To support our
direct sales force, we conduct marketing programs that include public relations, direct marketing, advertising, trade shows, product seminars, industry speakers, user group conferences and ongoing customer communication programs.
Customer Service and Support
We provide the following services and support to our customers:
Implementation Support: ExpressROISM. We offer our customers a professional and proven implementation program that facilitates rapid implementation of our software products. Logility consultants, through the ExpressROI
program, help customers define the nature of their project, and subsequently proceed through the implementation process. We provide training for all users and managers involved. We first establish measurable financial and logistical performance
indicators, then evaluate them for conformance during and after implementation. Additional services beyond implementation can include post-implementation reviews and benchmarks to further enhance the benefits to customers.
Implementation: General Training Services. We offer our customers post-delivery professional
services consisting primarily of implementation and training services, for which we typically charge on a daily basis. Customers that choose to purchase implementation services receive assistance in integrating our solution with existing software
applications and databases. Implementation of Logility Voyager Solutions typically requires three to nine months, depending on factors such as the complexity of a customers existing system, the number of modules purchased, and the
number of end users.
15
Product Maintenance and Updates: Support
Services. We provide our customers with ongoing product support services. Typically, we enter into support or maintenance contracts with customers for an initial three year term at the time of the product license with
renewal for additional periods thereafter. Under these contracts, we provide telephone consulting, product updates and releases of new versions of products previously purchased by the customer, as well as error reporting and correction services. We
provide ongoing support and maintenance services on a seven-day-a-week, 24-hours-a-day basis through telephone, electronic mail and web-based support, using a call logging and tracking system for quality assurance.
Research and Product Development
We expensed approximately $2.7 million during fiscal 2002, $5.2 million during fiscal 2001, and $4.9 million during fiscal 2000 for research and development. In addition, we capitalized software development costs of $3.0 million
during fiscal 2002, $3.0 million during fiscal 2001, and $3.4 million during fiscal 2000 in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86. Our internal new product development and enhancements of existing products include
two categories: research and development expenditures and additions to capitalized computer software development costs. These combined categories totaled $5.7 million in fiscal 2002, $8.2 million in fiscal 2001, and $8.3 million in fiscal 2000, and
represented 19% of total revenues in fiscal 2002, 29% in fiscal 2001, and 26% in fiscal 2000.
We believe that our
future success depends in part upon our ability to continue to enhance existing products, respond to changing customer requirements, develop and introduce new or enhanced products and keep pace with technological developments and emerging industry
standards. We focus our development efforts on several areas, included, but not limited to, enhancing operability of our products across distributed and changing heterogeneous hardware platforms, operating systems and relational databases and adding
new functionality to existing products. These development efforts will continue to focus on deploying applications within a multi-tiered supply chain environment, including the Internet.
The current release of Logility Voyager Solutions is version 6.0. This version uses an integrated object-oriented architecture for maximum scaleability and
messaging functionality that supports the increasingly distributed nature of supply chain planning, supply chain execution and collaborative commerce. Logility Voyager Solutions interfaces with software of leading ERP vendors such as SAP,
Oracle and PeopleSoft.
Competition
We have targeted our products at emerging supply chain markets within the application software market, which is intensely competitive and characterized by rapid technological change. Our competitors
are diverse and offer a variety of solutions directed at various aspects of the value chain, as well as the enterprise as a whole. Our existing competitors include vendors focusing on the supply chain application software market, such as i2
Technologies, Manugistics, and Aspen Technologies. In addition, we face potential competition from:
|
|
|
large enterprise resource planning (ERP) application software vendors such as SAP, JD Edwards, Peoplesoft, Microsoft Great Plains, and Oracle, each of which
currently offers sophisticated ERP solutions that currently, or may in the future, incorporate supply chain management modules, advanced planning and scheduling or collaboration software |
|
|
|
other business application software vendors that may broaden their product offerings by internally developing, or by acquiring or partnering with independent
developers of supply chain management software |
|
|
|
internal development efforts by Corporate Information Technology departments. |
In addition, we may face competition from other application software vendors, including ERP vendors that from time to time jointly market our products as a complement to
their own systems. To the extent such vendors
16
develop or acquire systems with functionality comparable to our products, their significant installed customer base, long-standing customer relationships and ability to offer a broad solution
could provide a significant competitive advantage over our products.
We also expect to face additional
competition as other established and emerging companies enter the market for collaborative commerce and supply chain management software and new products and technologies are introduced. In addition, current and potential competitors may make
strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties, thereby increasing the ability of their products to address the needs of our prospective customers. Accordingly, it is possible that new
competitors or alliances among current and new competitors may emerge and rapidly gain significant market share. Increased competition could result in fewer customer orders, reduced gross margins and loss of market share.
Many of our competitors and potential competitors have significant worldwide presence, longer operating histories, significantly greater
financial, technical, marketing and other resources, greater name recognition and a larger installed base of customers than we have. Some competitors have become more aggressive with their prices, payment terms and issuance of contractual
implementation terms or guarantees. In order to be successful in the future, we must continue to develop innovative software solutions and respond promptly and effectively to technological change and competitors innovations. We may also have
to lower prices or offer other favorable terms. Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their
products. The principal competitive factors affecting the market for our products include vendor and product reputation; product architecture, functionality and features; costs; ease and speed of implementation; return on investment; product
quality; price and performance; and level of support.
Proprietary Rights and Licenses
Our success and ability to compete is dependent in part upon our proprietary technology. To protect our proprietary technology, we rely on
a combination of copyright and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions, which may afford only limited protection. In addition, effective copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in certain
foreign countries. Although we rely on the limited protection afforded by such confidential and contractual procedures and intellectual property laws, we also believe that factors such as the knowledge, ability, and experience of our personnel, new
product developments, frequent product enhancements, reliable maintenance and timeliness and quality of support services are essential to establishing and maintaining a technology leadership position. We presently have no patents or patent
applications pending. The source code for our proprietary software is protected as a trade secret and as a copyrighted work. Generally copyrights on our products expire 95 years after the year of first publication of each product. We enter into
confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, consultants and customers, and control access to and distribution of our software, documentation and other proprietary information.
We provide our software products to customers under non-exclusive license agreements. As is customary in the software industry, in order to protect our intellectual
property rights, we do not sell or transfer title to our products to our customers. Although the license agreements place restrictions on the customers use of our products, unauthorized use of our products nevertheless may occur. In addition,
we have licensed the source code for our software to American Software, which owns approximately 85% of our common stock, on a limited basis to enable American Software to perform warranty, maintenance and support obligations for certain customers,
for which it is responsible under certain license agreements that were not assigned to us in connection with the formation of Logility.
Despite the measures taken to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to reverse engineer or copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Policing
17
unauthorized use of our products is difficult. In addition, litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, to determine the
validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business,
operating results and financial condition.
In the future, we may increasingly be subject to claims of
intellectual property infringement as the number of products and competitors in our industry segment grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps. Although we are not aware that any of our products infringe upon
the proprietary rights of third parties, there can be no assurance that third parties will not claim infringement by us with respect to current or future products. In addition, we may initiate claims or litigation against third parties for
infringement of our proprietary rights or to establish the validity of our proprietary rights. Any such claims against us, with or without merit, as well as claims initiated by us against third parties, can be time consuming and expensive to defend,
prosecute or resolve. Moreover, an adverse outcome in litigation or similar adversarial proceedings could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require the expenditure of significant resources to develop non-infringing technology,
require a substantial amount of attention from management, require disputed rights to be licensed from others, require us to enter into royalty arrangements or require us to cease the marketing or use of certain products, any of which would have a
material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. To the extent that we desire or are required to obtain licenses to patents or proprietary rights of others, there can be no assurance that any such licenses will be
made available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
We have relicensed, and expect in the future to relicense,
certain software from third parties for use in connection with our products. There can be no assurance that these third-party software vendors will not change their product offerings or that these software licenses will continue to be available to
us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. The termination of any such licenses or product offerings, or the failure of the third-party licensors to adequately maintain or update their products, could result in delays in our ability to ship
certain of our products while we seek to implement technology offered by alternative sources. Any required replacement licenses could prove costly. Further, any such delay, if it becomes extended, could result in a material adverse effect on our
results of operations.
Employees
As of April 30, 2002, we had 150 full-time employees, consisting of 42 in sales and marketing, 55 in product development, 49 in customer support and implementation services and 4 in administration and
finance. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or are subject to a collective bargaining agreement. We believe our employee relations are good.
We maintain our headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. Some of our
offices are occupied pursuant to the Facilities Agreement with American Software, the terms of which are summarized in Part III, Item 13Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, below. We also lease space for offices in five
locations in the US, as well as approximately 30,175 square feet of office space in the United Kingdom. We believe our existing facilities are adequate for our current needs and that suitable additional or substitute space will be available as
needed on commercially reasonable terms.
We are not a party to any material legal proceedings.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with Item 6. Selected Combined Financial Data and Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. This discussion contains
forward-looking statements relating to our future financial performance, business strategy, financing plans and other future events that involve uncertainties and risks. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as
anticipate, intend, plan, continue, could, grow, may, potential, predict, strive, will, seek,
estimate, believe, expect, and similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Any forward-looking statements herein are made pursuant to the safe harbor provision of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Our actual results could differ materially from the results anticipated by these forward-looking statements as a result of many known and unknown factors that are beyond our ability to control or predict,
including but not limited to those discussed below in Factors Affecting Future Performance and elsewhere in this report. See also Special Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements at the beginning of Item
1. Business.
The terms fiscal 2002, fiscal 2001, and fiscal 2000
refer to our fiscal years ended April 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our combined financial statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Note 1 in the Notes to the Combined
Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2002, describes the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our combined financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including, but not limited to,
those related to bad debts, income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for judgments
we make about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the critical accounting policies listed below affect significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the
combined financial statements.
Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue in
accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, and SOP 98-9, Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Transactions. We recognize license revenues in connection with license agreements for
standard proprietary and tailored software are recognized upon delivery of the software, provided we deem collection to be probable, the fee is fixed or determinable, there is evidence of an arrangement, and vendor specific evidence exists to defer
any revenue related to undelivered elements of the arrangement. We generally bill maintenance fees annually in advance and recognize the resulting revenues ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement. We derive revenues from services which
primarily include consulting, implementation, and training. We bill for these services under both time and materials and fixed fee arrangements and recognize fees as we perform the services. Deferred revenues represent advance payments or billings
for software licenses, services, and maintenance billed in advance of the time we recognize revenues. We record revenues from sales of third-party products net of royalties, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 99-19, Reporting
Revenue Gross as a Principle versus Net as an Agent.
Generally, our software products do not require
significant modification or customization. Installation of the products is normally routine and is not essential to the functionality of the product. Our sales frequently include
21
maintenance contracts and professional services with the sale of our software licenses. We have established vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (VSOE) for our maintenance contracts
and professional services. We determine fair value based upon the prices we charge to customers when we sell these elements separately. We defer maintenance revenues, including those sold with the initial license fee, based on VSOE, typically
determined by the renewal rate of the annual maintenance contract, and recognized ratably over the maintenance contract period. We recognize consulting and training service revenues, including those sold with license fees, as we perform the services
based on their established VSOE. We determine the amount of revenue we allocate to the licenses sold with services or maintenance using the residual method of accounting. Under the residual method, we allocate the total value of the
arrangement first to the undelivered elements based on their VSOE and allocate the remainder to license fees.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of these
customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, we may require additional allowances or we may defer revenue until we determine that collectibility is probable. We specifically analyze accounts receivable
and historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when we evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Valuation of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 121, Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, (SFAS No. 121), we review the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets, including, but not limited to, capitalized computer
software development costs, on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances, internal and external, that may suggest impairment. Factors we consider important that could trigger the impairment review include:
|
|
|
significant under performance relative to historical or projected future operating results; |
|
|
|
significant negative industry or economic trends; |
|
|
|
significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period; |
|
|
|
significant decline in our technological value as compared to the market; and |
|
|
|
our market capitalization relative to net book value. |
If such circumstances exist, we evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to determine if impairment exists based upon estimated undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining useful life of
the assets and comparing that value to the carrying value of the assets. If the carrying value of the asset is greater than the estimated future cash flows, we write down the asset to the estimated fair value. We determine the estimated fair value
of the assets on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model. In determining expected future cash flows, we group assets at the lowest
level for which cash flows are identifiable and independent of cash flows from other asset groups. Our cash flow estimates contain managements best estimates, using appropriate and customary assumptions and projections at the time.
Income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted statutory tax rates in effect in the year
in which we expect the differences to reverse. We establish a deferred tax asset for the expected future benefit of net operating loss and credit carry-forwards. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109),
Accounting for Income Taxes, we cannot recognize a deferred tax asset for the future benefit of our net operating losses, tax credits and temporary differences unless we can establish that it is more likely than not that we would realize
the deferred tax asset. Due to our history of net losses, we have not recognized a tax asset and have recorded a full valuation allowance against our otherwise recognizable deferred tax asset, in accordance with SFAS No. 109. Future events could
cause us to conclude that it is more likely than not that we
22
will realize a portion of the deferred tax asset. If we reach such a conclusion, we would reduce the valuation allowance and recognize the deferred tax asset.

Years Ended April 30, 2002 and 2001:
Revenues:
Our total revenues increased 4% to $29.4 million from $28.2 million for the
prior year. This was primarily the result of increased services and maintenance revenues compared to the prior year, partially offset by a decrease in license fee revenues.
Licenses. License fee revenues decreased 2% from a year ago, to $8.4 million. This decrease was primarily the result of continued slow general
economic conditions. Our direct sales channel provided approximately 90% of the license fee revenues for fiscal 2002, compared to 70% for the prior year. This increase was due primarily to increased effectiveness of our direct sales channel, as well
as one particularly large license fee transaction sold through the indirect channel in fiscal 2001. Our indirect sales channel is principally through American Software. During fiscal year 2002, our margins after commissions on direct sales were
approximately 98% and our margins after commissions on indirect sales were approximately 67%. To date, we have derived sales of software licenses principally from direct sales to customers. Although we believe that direct sales will
23
continue to account for the majority of our software license revenues, our strategy is to try to increase the level of indirect sales activities. However, our efforts to expand indirect sales may
not be successful, or these relationships may not continue in the future.
Services and
Other. Services revenues increased 6% to $9.7 million from a year ago as a result of higher utilization of our implementation, training, and consulting services. Services are provided, and the associated revenues are
realized, typically within three to six months after a license fee transaction is recorded. Services revenues as a percentage of total revenue have fluctuated, and we expect them to continue to fluctuate, on a period-to-period basis based upon the
demand for implementation, training, and consulting services.
Maintenance. Maintenance revenues increased 8% to $11.3 million from a year ago, due to an increase in the installed base of customers, which resulted from license sales in prior periods. Maintenance
revenues are directly related to license fee revenues, since new licenses are the potential source of new maintenance customers. Maintenance revenues as a percentage of total revenue have fluctuated, and we expected them to continue to fluctuate, on
a period-to-period basis based upon fluctuations of levels of license fee revenues.
Concentration of
Revenues. In fiscal year 2002 and fiscal year 2001, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues. We generally derive a significant portion of our software license revenues in each quarter from a
small number of relatively large sales. While we believe that the loss of any one of these customers would not seriously harm our business, operating results or financial condition, our inability to consummate one or more substantial license sales
in any future period could seriously harm our operating results for that period.
International
Revenues. We recognized approximately $3.7 million of international revenues in fiscal 2002, representing approximately 13% of total revenues, and approximately $4.0 million in fiscal 2001, representing approximately 14%
of total revenues. We believe that continued growth and profitability may require further expansion in international markets. To increase the level of international sales, we have utilized and may continue to utilize substantial resources to expand
existing international operations and establish additional international operations. We cannot be certain that our investments in international operations will produce desired levels of revenues or profitability.
Gross Margin:
Total gross margin in 2002 was 58%, unchanged compared to 58% a year ago. The gross margin on license fees was also unchanged at 54% from 54% a year ago. Maintenance gross margin decreased to 82% from 84% a year ago,
primarily as a result of increased resources devoted to the customer service area. Services gross margin increased slightly to 33% from 32% a year ago, primarily as a result of tighter cost control within the components of cost of services.
Operating Expenses:
Research and Development. Gross product development costs include all non-capitalized and capitalized software development costs. A breakdown
of the research and development costs is as follows:

Gross product development costs decreased 30% in 2002 compared to a year ago as a
result of continued cost reduction efforts, as well as the reallocation of some resources to services and support. Fiscal 2002s expense of 19% of total revenues was substantially lower than our normal historical rate of approximately 25% to
30% of total revenues. Capitalized development increased slightly, up 1% from a year ago, while the rate of capitalized development increased to 52% from 36% a year ago, due to the lower level of gross development costs. Product development
expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, decreased to 9%, while net product development expenses decreased 48%. Both decreases were again due to the lower level of gross development costs.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 28% from a year ago, primarily as a result of continued cost containment
efforts. As a percentage of total revenues, sales and marketing expenses were 33% for the year compared to 48% for 2001. This decrease was due primarily to the lower levels of sales and marketing expenditures. Lower levels of expenditures were
recorded in areas such as trade shows, promotions, and advertising activities.
General and
Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased 13% to approximately $3.5 million from a year ago. This decrease was again primarily due to overall cost containment efforts, as well as lower bad debt expense.
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 12% from 14% during the same period last year. This decrease was due primarily to the lower levels of general and administrative expenses, due to lower overall
headcount. Total headcount at the end of fiscal 2002 was 150, compared to 167 at the end of fiscal 2001.
Other
Income, Net:
Other income, net was $956,000 in fiscal 2002, representing 3.3% of total revenues, and $1.2
million in fiscal 2001, representing 4.3% of total revenues. This decrease was due primarily to decreased market yields realized on investments. Other income is principally comprised of investment earnings. Our investments are generally short term
in nature. In fiscal 2002, we generated a yield of approximately 3.7% on our investments, compared to approximately 6.1% in fiscal 2001.
Income Taxes:
We are included in the consolidated federal income tax return filed
by American Software; however we provide for income taxes as if we were filing a separate income tax return. Our income for fiscal 2002 was offset by prior period losses which resulted in net operating loss carryforwards. Due to our loss in fiscal
2001 we did not record a tax obligation.
Fourth Quarter of Fiscal Year 2002:
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002, we recorded positive operating income of $359,000 and positive net income of $541,000. Total
revenues decreased 13% over the prior year period, driven primarily by a 39% decrease in services and other revenues, from $3.0 million to $1.8 million. This decrease was due primarily to a decrease in software implementation services from prior
quarters license fee transactions, as well as a decrease in hardware sales compared to the prior quarter.
Years Ended April 30,
2001 and 2000:
Revenues:
Our total revenues decreased 13% to $28.2 million from $32.3 million for the prior year. This was primarily the result of decreased license fees compared to the prior year,
partially offset by an increase in maintenance revenues.
25
Licenses. License fee revenues decreased 36% from a
year ago, to $8.6 million. This decrease was primarily the result of the reorganization of our sales staff and management team that occurred in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2001. We replaced all the members of our senior sales management
team as well as some sales staff in an effort to increase overall sales effectiveness. The transition period to new management and staff caused a temporary decrease in sales effectiveness. We believe that the combination of this transition period
with slower general economic conditions led to the decrease in license fee revenues. Our direct sales channel provided approximately 70% of the license fee revenues for fiscal 2001, compared to 81% for the prior year. During fiscal year 2001, our
margins after commissions on direct sales were approximately 84% and our margins after commissions on indirect sales were approximately 60%.
Services and Other. Services revenues decreased 3% to $9.1 million from the prior year as a result of slightly lower utilization of our implementation, training, and
consulting services.
Maintenance. Maintenance revenues increased 11% to $10.5
million from the prior year, due to an increase in the installed base of customers, from license sales in prior periods.
Concentration of Revenues. In fiscal year 2001, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues. In fiscal 2000, one customer, ConAgra Inc., accounted for approximately 13% of total
revenues.
International Revenues. We recognized approximately $4.0 million of
international revenues in fiscal 2001, representing approximately 14% of total revenues, and approximately $3.7 million in fiscal 2000, representing approximately 11% of total revenues. The increase in revenues from international sources as a
percentage of total revenues was due primarily to lower overall levels of total revenues.
Gross Margin:
Total gross margin in 2001 was 58% compared to 69% in fiscal 2000, due primarily to decreases in gross
margins on license fees and service revenues. The gross margin on license fees decreased to 54% from 76% in the prior year, due to the combination of lower license fees and relatively fixed amortization of capitalized software expense. Maintenance
gross margin increased to 84% from 81% in fiscal 2000, primarily as a result of increased maintenance revenue. Services gross margin decreased to 32% from 45% in the prior year, due primarily to higher staffing and infrastructure costs incurred in
anticipation of higher levels of license fees.
Operating Expenses:
Research and Development. Gross product development costs include all non-capitalized and capitalized
software development costs. A breakdown of the research and development costs is as follows:

Gross product development costs decreased 2% in fiscal 2001
compared to fiscal 2000 as a result of continued cost containment efforts. Fiscal 2001s expense of 29% of total revenues was within our normal historical rate of approximately 25%-30% of total revenues. Capitalized development decreased as
well, declining 12% from fiscal 2000, while the rate of capitalized development also decreased to 36% from 41% in the prior year. Product development expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, increased to 18% due to lower
26
overall revenues, while net product development expenses increased 5% due to the lower rate of capitalized development.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased 6% from fiscal 2000. As a percentage of total revenues, sales and marketing
expenses were 48% for the year compared to 40% for 2000. This increase was due primarily to lower overall levels of revenue, as well as increased sales and marketing expenditures.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased 29% to approximately $4.0 million from the prior year. This increase
was mainly due to an increased allocation of shared intercompany expenses from American Software, which is based on the proportion of Logility employees to total American Software employees. This proportion increased in fiscal 2001, which resulted
in a higher intercompany allocation. Higher utility costs, insurance expense and bad debt expense compared to the prior year period also contributed to the increase. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased to
14% from 10% during the same period. This increase was due primarily to increased levels of general and administrative expenses, as well as lower overall levels of revenue.
Charge for Restructuring. During the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2001, we recorded a charge against earnings of approximately
$476,000 resulting from severance expenses for approximately 58 employees in sales, marketing, services, and research and development. Of this amount, $291,000 related to cash severance and $185,000 related to the acceleration of vesting of stock
options to terminated staff. All expenses related to this severance had been completed by the end of fiscal year 2001. This severance was necessitated by slow economic conditions, which adversely affected corporate spending for information
technology and resulted in delays or cancellations of orders for our software products and services. Our level of staffing at the beginning of fiscal 2001 was based on a historical level of sales and related services, which did not materialize. The
revenues achieved in fiscal 2001 did not support the level of staffing and associated expenses in place, so to minimize resulting financial losses and achieve future profitability staff reductions were necessary.
Other Income, Net:
Other income, net was $1.2 million in fiscal 2001, representing 4.3% of total revenues, and $1.1 million in fiscal 2000, representing 3.5% of total revenues. In fiscal 2001, we generated a yield of approximately 6.1% on our
investments, compared to approximately 6.0% in fiscal 2000.
Income Taxes:
Due to our loss in fiscal 2001 we did not record a tax obligation. Our income for fiscal 2000 was offset by losses in fiscal 1999.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition:
The following table shows information about our cash flows for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2002 and April 30, 2001. This table and
the discussion that follows should be read in conjunction with our combined statements of cash flows contained in this report.

We normally fund our operations and capital expenditures primarily with cash
generated from operating activities. The changes in net cash used for operating activities generally reflect the changes in net income and non-cash operating items plus the effect of changes in operating assets and liabilities, especially trade
accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue.
Cash provided by (used in)
operating activities was approximately $6.1 million in the year ended April 30, 2002, compared to approximately ($1.0) million in the same period of the prior year. Cash provided by operations during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2002 consisted of
non-cash depreciation and amortization expense of $4.3 million, net earnings of $2.1 million, a decrease in receivable from American Software of $1.8 million, and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $172,000. This was partially offset
by a decrease in deferred revenues of $1.4 million, and a decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of $872,000. The cash used by operations during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001 was primarily attributable to a net loss of $5.7
million, an increase in receivable from American Software of $712,000, and a decrease in current liabilities of $500,000. This was partially offset by non-cash depreciation and amortization expense of $3.5 million, a decrease in accounts receivable
of $1.2 million, an increase in deferred revenues of $673,000, and the write-off of a minority investment in business of $300,000.
Cash (used in) provided by investing activities was approximately ($3.2) million for fiscal year 2002, compared to $2.4 million for fiscal year 2001. In fiscal 2002, $3.0 million was used for capitalized software development
costs, $133,000 was used in purchases of property and equipment, and $61,000 was used in the net purchase of investments. In fiscal 2001, approximately $5.8 million was provided by the net sale of investments, while $3.0 million was used for
computer software development costs.
Cash (used in) provided by financing activities was ($550,000) for fiscal
2002 and $468,000 for fiscal 2001. In fiscal 2002, $439,000 was used for deferred income taxes resulting from the Tax Sharing Agreement with American Software, discussed below in Item 13 of this report, and $130,000 was used for repurchases of our
common stock, while $19,000 was received in proceeds from the exercise of stock options. In fiscal 2001, approximately $559,000 was provided by deferred income taxes resulting from the Tax Sharing Agreement, partially offset by $105,000 used for the
repurchase of 56,000 shares of our common stock. Days sales outstanding in accounts receivable were 76 days as of April 30, 2002, compared to 66 days as of April 30, 2001. This increase was primarily due to several license fee transactions of
significant size closing at the end of fiscal 2002.
Our current ratio on April 30, 2002 was 3.6 to 1 and we have
no long-term debt. We believe that our sources of liquidity and capital resources will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. To the extent that such amounts are insufficient to finance our capital
requirements, we will be required to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. We do not currently have a bank line of credit. No assurance can be given that bank lines of credit or other financing will be available on terms
acceptable to us. If available, such financing may result in further dilution to our shareholders and higher interest expense.
On December 15, 1997, our Board of Directors approved a resolution authorizing us to repurchase up to 350,000 shares of our common stock through open market purchases at prevailing market prices. We completed this repurchase plan in
November 1998, at which time we adopted an additional repurchase plan for up to 800,000 shares. The timing of any repurchases would depend on market conditions, the market price of Logilitys common stock and managements assessment of our
liquidity and cash flow needs. For both plans, through July 12, 2002, we had purchased a cumulative total of approximately 686,000 shares at a total cost of $4.6 million.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, which addressed financial accounting and reporting for business combinations. Statement 141 requires that the
purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30,
28
2001 as well as all purchase method business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. We have adopted the provisions of Statement 141. The adoption has had no material impact on our financial
condition or results of operations.
In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets, which addressed financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. Upon adoption of Statement No. 142, we will be required to discontinue the amortization of our goodwill and other
intangible assets with indefinite lives. Additionally, we will be required to test our goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment during the first year of adoption and then at least annually, or when it is deemed appropriate, thereafter. If
our goodwill or intangible assets are found to be impaired during the transitional period, the resulting write-down will be reported as a change in accounting principle. Any impairment loss recorded after the transitional period will be recorded in
earnings (loss) from operations. Because goodwill and certain intangible assets will not be amortized over a specific period but rather will be reviewed for impairment annually, there could be more volatility in reported earnings (loss) than under
previous accounting standards due to impairment losses occurring irregularly and in varying amounts. Although we do not currently expect that the adoption of Statement 142 will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of
operations, we are assessing the possible effects of this Statement. We are required to adopt Statement 142 in the first quarter of our 2003 fiscal year.
In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 143 (SFAS No. 143), Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 applies to all entities. SFAS No. 143 applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result
from the acquisition, construction, development and (or) the normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of leases. SFAS No. 143 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002
and thus will apply to our fiscal year beginning May 1, 2003. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 143 to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (Statement
144), which supersedes both FASB Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of (Statement 121) and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30,
Reporting the Results of OperationsReporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions (Opinion 30), for the disposal of a segment of a business (as
previously defined in that Opinion). Statement 144 retains the fundamental provisions in Statement 121 for recognizing and measuring impairment losses on long-lived assets held for use and long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, while also
resolving significant implementation issues associated with Statement 121. For example, Statement 144 provides guidance on how a long-lived asset that is used as part of a group should be evaluated for impairment, establishes criteria for when a
long-lived asset is held for sale, and prescribes the accounting for a long-lived asset that will be disposed of other than by sale. Statement 144 retains the basic provisions of Opinion 30 on how to present discontinued operations in the income
statement but broadens that presentation to include a component of an entity (rather than a segment of a business). Unlike Statement 121, an impairment assessment under Statement 144 will never result in a write-down of goodwill. Rather, goodwill is
evaluated for impairment under Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
We
were required to adopt Statement 144 no later than May 1, 2002. We do not expect the adoption of Statement 144 for long-lived assets held for use to have a material impact on our financial statements because the impairment assessment under Statement
144 is largely unchanged from Statement 121. The provisions of the Statement for assets held for sale or other disposal generally are required to be applied prospectively after the adoption date to newly initiated disposal activities. Therefore, we
cannot determine the potential effects that adoption of Statement 144 will have on our financial statements.

FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE PERFORMANCE
A Variety of Factors May Affect Our Future Results and the Market Price of Our Stock.
We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our stockholders and to the public. This report contains forward-looking statements, including, in particular, statements about
our goals, plans, objectives, beliefs, expectations and prospects, under the headings Item 1. Business and Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this report. You
can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as anticipate, intend, plan, continue, could, grow, may, potential, predict,
strive, will, seek, estimate, believe, expect, and similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes . Any forward-looking statements herein are made
pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning future:
|
|
|
liquidity, cash flow and capital expenditures; |
|
|
|
demand for and pricing of our products and services; |
|
|
|
acquisition activities and the effect of completed acquisitions; |
|
|
|
industry conditions and market conditions; and |
|
|
|
general economic conditions. |
Although we believe that the goals, plans, expectations, and prospects reflected by our forward-looking statements are reasonable in view of the information currently available to us, those statements are not guarantees of
performance. There are many factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by forward-looking statements made herein. These factors include continuing economic uncertainty, the timing and degree of business
recovery, unpredictability and the irregular pattern of future revenues, competitive pressures, delays and other risks associated with new product development, undetected software errors, and risks associated with market acceptance of our products
and services as well as a number of other risk factors that could affect our future performance. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those we discuss under the section captioned Risk
Factors in Item 1 of this Form 10-K as well as the cautionary statements and other factors that we discuss in other sections of this Form 10-K.
We operate in a dynamic and rapidly changing environment that involves numerous risks and uncertainties. This section lists some, but not all, of the risks and uncertainties that may have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. This section should be read in conjunction with the audited Combined Financial Statements and Notes thereto, and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2000, 2001 and 2002 contained elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Regional or global changes in economic, political and market conditions could cause decreases in demand for our software and related services, which could negatively affect our revenue and operating results and the market
price of our stock. Our revenue and profitability depend on the overall demand for our software and related services. A regional or global change in the economy and financial markets could result in the delay or canceling of customer purchases. Some
of our competitors have recently announced that the current economic conditions have negatively impacted their financial results. If demand for our software and related services decreases, our revenues may decrease and our operating results would be
adversely affected. Our inability to license software products to new customers may cause our stock price to fall.
30
We Could Experience Fluctuations in Quarterly Operating Results That Could Adversely Impact Our Stock
Price.
Our revenue and operating results are difficult to predict and have varied widely from quarter to
quarter in the past. We expect they will continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. We base our expense levels, operating costs and hiring plans on projections of
future revenues. A failure to meet expectations of revenues could adversely affect the price of our stock. License revenues in any quarter depend substantially on our ability to recognize revenues in that quarter in accordance with our revenue
recognition policies. Our contracting activity is difficult to forecast for a variety of reasons, including the following:
|
|
|
we complete a significant portion of our license agreements within the last few weeks of each quarter; |
|
|
|
our sales cycle is relatively long and variable because of the complex and mission-critical nature of our products; |
|
|
|
the size of our license transactions can vary significantly; |
|
|
|
the possibility of economic downturns, both domestic and international, characterized by decreased product demand, price erosion, technological shifts, work
slowdowns and layoffs, may substantially reduce customer demand and contracting activity; |
|
|
|
customers may unexpectedly postpone or cancel system replacement or new system evaluations due to changes in their strategic priorities, project objectives,
budgetary constraints, internal purchasing processes or company management; |
|
|
|
customer evaluations and purchasing processes vary from company to company, and a customer's internal approval and expenditure authorization process can be
difficult and time consuming, even after selection of a vendor; and |
|
|
|
the number, timing and significance of software product enhancements and new software product announcements by us and by our competitors may affect purchase
decisions. |
Several factors may require us to defer recognition of license or service related
revenue for a significant period of time after entering into a customer agreement, including:
|
|
|
whether the license agreement relates to then unavailable software products; |
|
|
|
whether transactions include both currently deliverable software products and software products that are under development or other undeliverable elements;
|
|
|
|
whether the customer demands services that include significant modifications, customizations or complex interfaces that could delay products delivery or
acceptance; |
|
|
|
whether the transaction involves acceptance criteria that may preclude revenue recognition or if there are identified product-related issues, such as known
defects; and |
|
|
|
whether the transaction involves payment terms or fees that depend upon contingencies. |
Because of the factors listed above and other specific requirements under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for software revenue recognition, we must
have very precise terms in our customer agreements in order to recognize revenue when we initially deliver software or perform services. Although we have standard forms of license and service agreements that meet the criteria under GAAP for current
revenue recognition on delivered elements, we negotiate and revise these terms and conditions in some transactions. Negotiation of mutually acceptable terms and conditions can extend the sales cycle, and sometimes we do not obtain terms and
conditions that permit revenue recognition at the time of delivery or even as work on the project is completed.
31
Variances or slowdowns in our licensing activity in prior quarters may affect
current and future consulting, training and maintenance service revenues since these revenues typically follow license fee revenues. Our ability to maintain or increase services revenue primarily depends on our ability to increase the number and
size of our licensing agreements. In addition, we base our expense levels, operating costs and hiring plans on projections of future revenues and are relatively fixed. If our actual revenues fall below our expectations in any particular quarter, our
business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
There Is Intense Competition in Our
Industry, Which Requires Us to Constantly Create New Products, Improve Our Existing Products and Sell Our Products at Competitive Prices.
We compete with a variety of software vendors, including:
|
|
|
vendors focusing on the supply chain application software market, such as i2 Technologies, Manugistics, and Aspen Technologies; |
|
|
|
large enterprise resource planning (ERP) application software vendors such as SAP, Microsoft, Peoplesoft, JD Edwards, and Oracle, each of which currently offers
sophisticated ERP solutions that currently or may in the future incorporate supply chain management modules, advanced planning and scheduling or collaboration software; |
|
|
|
other business application software vendors that may broaden their product offerings by internally developing, or by acquiring or partnering with independent
developers of supply chain management software; |
|
|
|
internal development efforts by Corporate Information Technology departments; |
|
|
|
providers of human resource management system software products; |
|
|
|
providers of financial management systems software products; and |
|
|
|
numerous other firms that offer products and services with new or advanced features. |
As a result, the market for business application software and related services has been and continues to be intensely competitive. Some competitors have become more
aggressive with their prices and payment terms and issuance of contractual implementation terms or guarantees. We may be unable to continue to compete successfully with new and existing competitors without lowering prices or offering other favorable
terms.
In addition, we believe we must differentiate ourselves through different or more subtle architectural and
technological factors. Some of our competitors may have an advantage over us due to their:
|
|
|
significant worldwide presence; |
|
|
|
longer operating and product development history; |
|
|
|
substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources; and |
Furthermore, potential customers may consider outsourcing options, including application service providers, data center outsourcing and service bureaus as viable alternatives to licensing our software products.
We May Derive a Significant Portion of Our Revenue in any Quarter from a Limited Number of Large, Non-Recurring License Sales.
We expect to continue to experience from time to time large, individual license sales, which may cause significant variations
in quarterly license fees. We also believe that purchasing our products is relatively discretionary and generally involves a significant commitment of a customers capital resources. Therefore, a downturn in any potential customers
business could result in order cancellations that could have a significant
32
adverse impact on our revenue and quarterly results. Moreover, declines in general economic conditions could precipitate significant reductions in corporate spending for information technology,
which could result in delays or cancellations of orders for our products.
We Are Dependent Upon Key Personnel, and Need to Hire
Additional Personnel in All Areas.
Our future operating results depend significantly upon the continued
service of a relatively small number of key senior management and technical personnel, including our Chief Executive Officer, J. Michael Edenfield. None of our key personnel are bound by long-term employment agreements. The loss of Mr. Edenfield or
one or more other key individuals could have an adverse effect on us.
Our future success also depends on our
continuing ability to attract and retain other highly qualified managerial and technical personnel. Competition for these personnel is intense, and we have at times experienced difficulty in recruiting and retaining qualified personnel. We may be
unable to retain our key managerial and technical employees and we may not be successful in attracting, assimilating and retaining other highly qualified managerial and technical personnel in the future. If our competitors increase their use of
non-compete agreements, the pool of available sales and technical personnel may further narrow in certain areas, even if the non-compete agreements ultimately prove to be unenforceable. We may grant large numbers of stock options to attract and
retain personnel, which could be highly dilutive to our stockholders. The loss of key management and technical personnel or the inability to attract and retain additional qualified personnel would have an adverse effect on us.
We Rely to a Large Extent on Services Provided by American Software and Are Subject to Effective Control by American Software.
We operated as a division of American Software, Inc. until we went public in 1997. Today, we are approximately 85% owned by
American Software. We receive a substantial amount of financial, accounting, sales and management services from American Software. Although our direct sales force generates the bulk of our sales, we have relied in the past to a substantial extent on
our sales relationship with American Software, although we expect to rely on this relationship less in the future. We also rely heavily on financial, accounting and management services provided by American Software. With few exceptions, American
Software has no obligation to continue providing these services to us. Therefore, a reduction or discontinuation of services from American Software may adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
As long as American Software owns a majority of our Common Stock, it will be able to determine, without the consent of our
other stockholders, the outcome of any corporate action requiring stockholder approval, including the election of our entire Board of Directors. In addition, through its ownership of a majority of our Common Stock and control of our Board of
Directors, American Software will be able to control our management and affairs, including all determinations with respect to acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, and other business combinations, borrowings, issuances of our Common Stock or other
equity securities, our dividend policy, and any change in control of Logility.
The Impact of Changes in Global Economic
Conditions on Our Customers May Cause Us to Fail to Meet Expectations, Which Would Negatively Affect the Price of Our Stock.
Our operating results can vary significantly based upon the effect of changes in global economic conditions on our customers. In particular, the current macro-economic environment is more uncertain than in recent periods and has the
potential to materially and adversely affect us. The revenue growth and profitability of our business depends on the overall demand for computer software and services, particularly in the areas in which we compete. Because we sell primarily to major
corporate customers whose businesses fluctuate with general economic and business conditions, a softening of demand for computer software caused by a weakening economy may result in decreased revenues and lower growth rates. Historically, we have
relied upon relatively large license transactions, which causes us to be especially prone to this risk. Customers may defer or reconsider
33
purchasing products if they experience a downturn in their business or if there is a continued downturn in the general economy, which may be worsened by recent terrorist attacks in the United
States. Various segments of the software industry have experienced significant economic downturns characterized by decreased product demand, price erosion, work slowdown and layoffs. Recently, concerns have increased throughout the technology
industry regarding negative growth forecasts for the remainder of calendar year 2002. Moreover, there is increasing uncertainty in the business application software market attributed to many factors, including global economic conditions and strong
competitive forces.
We Have Recently Expanded Our Technology into Several New Business Areas and Cannot Be Certain that Our Expansion
Will Be Successful.
Our future success depends to a large degree on the Internet being accepted and widely
used for commerce. If use of the Internet for commerce does not increase as we anticipate, our business will suffer. We have in recent years expanded our technology into a number of new business areas to foster long-term growth, including electronic
commerce, on-line business services and other products and services that can be offered over the Internet. These areas are relatively new to our product development, sales and marketing personnel and we cannot be sure that the markets for these
products will develop or that we will be able to compete effectively or will generate significant revenues in these new areas. As a result, our success in this area is difficult to predict. In addition, rapid growth in the use of the Internet
remains a comparatively recent trend. As a result, acceptance and use may not continue to develop at historical rates, and a sufficiently broad base of business customers may not adopt or continue to use the Internet to conduct their operations.
Demand and market acceptance for recently introduced services and products over the Internet are subject to a high level of uncertainty, and there exist few proven services and products. Our business could be seriously harmed if:
|
|
|
the necessary communication and computer network technology underlying the Internet and other online services does not effectively support any expansion that
may occur; |
|
|
|
industry does not develop or adopt new standards and protocols in a timely manner; |
|
|
|
concerns about security, reliability, cost, ease of use, accessibility, quality of service, or other facts result in the Internet not becoming established as a
viable commercial marketplace, inhibiting the development of electronic commerce and reducing the need for and desirability of our products and services. |
Our continued success depends on our ability to achieve growth. Our ability to successfully offer products and services and to implement our business plan in a rapidly
evolving market requires an effective planning and management process. To continue competing effectively and achieve future growth, we must continue to evaluate and improve the adequacy of our management structure and existing procedures, including
our financial and internal controls. If we are not successful, our business, operating results, and financial condition would be materially adversely affected.
Future Regulation of the Internet May Slow its Growth, Resulting in Decreased Demand for Our Products and Services and Increased Costs of Doing Business.
Due to increasing popularity of the Internet, it is possible that state, federal and international regulators could adopt laws and regulations that impose additional
burdens on companies conducting business online. For example, the growth and development of the market for Internet-based services may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws. Moreover, the applicability to the Internet of existing
laws in various jurisdictions governing issues such as property ownership, sales tax, libel and personal privacy is uncertain and may take years to resolve. Any new legislation or regulation, the application of laws and regulations from
jurisdictions whose laws do not currently apply to our business, or the application of existing laws and regulations to the Internet and other online services could inhibit the expansion of the Internet, causing our costs to increase and our growth
to be harmed.
34
The Viability of Electronic Marketplaces Is Uncertain.
Electronic marketplaces that allow collaboration over the Internet among trading partners are relatively new and unproven. There can be no
assurance that trading partners will adopt electronic marketplaces as a method of doing business. Trading partners may fail to participate in electronic marketplaces for a variety of reasons, including:
|
|
|
concerns about the confidentiality of information provided electronically to electronic marketplaces; |
|
|
|
the inability of technological advances to keep pace with the volume of information processed by electronic marketplaces; and |
|
|
|
regulatory issues, including antitrust issues that may arise when trading partners collaborate through electronic marketplaces. |
Any of these factors could limit the growth of electronic marketplaces as an accepted means of commerce. Slower growth or the
abandonment of the electronic marketplace concept in one or more industries could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We Depend on Third-Party Technology that Could Result in Increased Costs or Delays in the Production and Improvement of Our Products.
We license critical third-party software products that we incorporate into our own software products. If any of the third-party software vendors were to change their
product offerings or terminate our licenses, we might need to incur additional development or acquisition costs to ensure continued performance of our products. In addition, if the cost of licensing any of these third-party software products
significantly increases, our gross margin levels could significantly decrease.
We rely on existing relationships
with certain other software vendors who are also competitors. If these vendors change their business practices in the future, we may be compelled to find alternative vendors with complementary software, which may not be available on attractive
terms, or may not be as widely accepted or as effective as the software provided by our existing vendors. If the cost of licensing or maintaining these third-party software products or other technology significantly increases, our gross margin
levels could significantly decrease. In addition, interruption in functionality of our products could adversely affect future license and service revenues.
Services Revenues Carry Lower Gross Margins than License Revenues and an Overall Increase in Services Revenue as a Percentage of Total Revenues Could Have an Adverse Impact on Our Business.
Because service revenues have lower gross margins than license revenues, an increase in the percentage of total revenue represented by
service revenues could have a detrimental impact on our overall gross margins and could adversely affect operating results. As a result, an increase in services revenues as a percentage of total revenue and a change in the mix between services that
are provided by our employees versus services provided by third-party consultants may negatively affect our gross margins.
We May
Change Our Pricing Practices, Which Could Impact Operating Margins or Customer Ordering Patterns.
In the
future, we may choose to make changes to our pricing practices. For example, we may (i) offer additional discounts to customers, (ii) increase (or decrease) the use of pricing that involves periodic fees based on the number of users of a product, or
(iii) change maintenance pricing. Such changes could reduce margins or inhibit our ability to sell our products.
35
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Could Adversely Impact Our Profitability by Delaying Some Revenue
Recognition into Future Periods.
In recent years, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition; and SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions. In addition, in December 1999, the Securities
and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, which explains how the SEC staff believes existing revenue recognition rules should be applied to or
interpreted for transactions not addressed by existing rules. These standards address software revenue recognition matters primarily from a conceptual level and do not include specific implementation guidance. We believe that we currently comply
with SOP 97-2, SOP 98-9 and SAB 101.
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants has issued
implementation guidelines for these standards and the accounting profession is still discussing a wide range of potential interpretations. These implementation guidelines, once finalized, could lead to unanticipated changes in our current revenue
accounting practices that could cause us to recognize lower profits. As a result, we may change our business practices significantly in order to continue to recognize a substantial portion of our license revenues when we deliver our software
products and services. These changes may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Our Future Growth Depends Upon Our
Ability to Build and Maintain Strategic Relationships with Third Parties.
A key aspect of our sales and
marketing strategy is to build and maintain strong working relationships with businesses that we believe play an important role in the successful marketing of our software products and the marketing of our managed services and other services. Our
current and potential customers often rely on third-party system integrators to implement, deploy and manage client/server and other platform-based applications. We believe that our marketing and sales efforts are enhanced by the worldwide presence
of these companies. However, these companies, most of which have significantly greater financial and marketing resources than we have, may commence, or in some cases increase, the marketing of business application software in competition with us, or
may otherwise discontinue their relationships with or support of us. In addition, many of these companies also have relationships with one or more of our competitors and may, in some instances, select or recommend the software offerings of our
competitors rather than our software. In addition, certain of these third parties compete with us directly in developing and marketing business application software and related services. If we are unable to maintain or increase our relationships
with the third parties that recommend, implement, or support our software, our revenue may be materially affected. In addition, if these strategic partners are unable to recruit and adequately train a sufficient number of consulting personnel to
support the implementation of our software products, we may lose customers.
As we have done in the past, in the
future we may enter into various development or joint business arrangements to develop new software products or extensions to our existing software products. Under these joint business arrangements, we may distribute ourselves or jointly sell with
our business partners an integrated software product and pay a royalty to the business partner based on end-user license fees. While we intend to develop business applications that are integrated with our software products, these software products
may in fact not be integrated or brought to market or the market may not accept the integrated solution. As a result, we may not achieve the revenues that we anticipated at the time we entered into the joint business arrangement.
Our Software Products and Product Development Are Complex, Which Makes It Increasingly Difficult to Innovate, Extend Our Product Offerings, and
Avoid Costs Related to Correction of Program Errors.
The market for our software products is characterized by
rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, changes in customer requirements and frequent new product introductions and enhancements. For
36
instance, existing products can become obsolete and unmarketable when vendors introduce products utilizing new technologies or new industry standards emerge. As a result, it is difficult for us
to estimate the life cycles of our software products. Our future success will depend in part upon our ability to:
|
|
|
continue to enhance and expand our core applications; |
|
|
|
continue to sell our products; |
|
|
|
continue to successfully integrate third-party products; |
|
|
|
enter new markets and achieve market acceptance; and |
|
|
|
develop and introduce new products that keep pace with technological developments, including developments related to the Internet, satisfy increasingly
sophisticated customer requirements and achieve market acceptance. |
We can license our software
products for use with a variety of popular industry standard database management systems. There may be future or existing database management system platforms that achieve popularity within the business application marketplace and on which we may
desire to offer our applications. These future or existing database management system products may or may not be architecturally compatible with our software product design. We may not be able to develop software products on additional platforms
with the specifications and within the time frame necessary for market success.
Despite testing by us, our
software programs, like all software programs generally, may contain a number of undetected errors or bugs when we first introduce them. We do not discover some errors until we have installed the product and our customers have used it.
Correcting bugs may result in increased costs and reduced acceptance of our software products in the marketplace. The effort and expense of developing, testing and maintaining software product lines will increase with the increasing number of
possible combinations of:
|
|
|
vendor hardware platforms; |
|
|
|
operating systems and updated versions; |
|
|
|
application software products and updated versions; and |
|
|
|
database management system platforms and updated versions. |
Developing consistent software product performance characteristics across all of these combinations could place a significant strain on our development resources and
software product release schedules.
Implementation of Our Products Can Be Complex, Time-Consuming and Expensive and Customers May Be
Unable to Implement Our Products Successfully or Otherwise Achieve the Benefits Attributable to Our Products.
Our products must integrate with the many existing computer systems and software programs of our customers. This can be complex, time-consuming and expensive, and may cause delays in the deployment of our products. Our customers may
be unable to implement our products successfully or otherwise achieve the benefits attributable to our products.
We Sometimes
Experience Delays in Product Releases, Which Can Adversely Affect Our Business.
Historically, we have issued
significant new releases of our software products periodically, with minor interim releases issued more frequently. As a result of the complexities inherent in our software, major new product enhancements and new products often require long
development and testing periods before they are released. On occasion, we have experienced delays in the scheduled release date of new or enhanced products, and we cannot provide any assurance that we will achieve future scheduled release dates. The
delay of product releases or enhancements, or the failure of such products or enhancements to achieve market acceptance, could materially affect our business and reputation.
37
Our Recent and Future Acquisitions May Not Be Successful.
We have in the recent past acquired and invested, and may continue to acquire or invest, in complementary companies, products and
technologies, and enter into joint ventures and strategic alliances with other companies. Risks commonly encountered in such transactions include:
|
|
|
the difficulty of assimilating the operations and personnel of the combined companies; |
|
|
|
the risk that we may not be able to integrate the acquired technologies or products with our current products and technologies; |
|
|
|
the potential disruption of our ongoing business; |
|
|
|
the inability to retain key technical and managerial personnel; |
|
|
|
the inability of management to maximize our financial and strategic position through the successful integration of acquired businesses;
|
|
|
|
adverse impact on our annual effective tax rate; |
|
|
|
dilution of existing equity holders caused by capital stock issuances to the stockholders of acquired companies or to retain employees of the acquired
companies; |
|
|
|
difficulty in maintaining controls, procedures and policies; |
|
|
|
potential adverse impact on our relationships with partner companies or third-party providers of technology or products; |
|
|
|
the impairment of relationships with employees and customers; and |
|
|
|
issues with product quality, product architecture, legal contingencies, product development issues, or other significant issues that may not be detected through
our due diligence process. |
Recent changes in the law require the use of the purchase method of
accounting in all new business acquisitions. The purchase method of accounting for business combinations may require large write-offs of any in-process research and development costs related to companies being acquired, as well as ongoing
amortization costs for other intangible assets valued in combinations of companies. In addition, goodwill will need to be periodically tested for impairment and may result in large periodic write-offs. Such write-offs and ongoing amortization
charges may have a significant negative impact on operating margins and net income in the quarter of the combination and for several subsequent years. We may not be successful in overcoming these risks or any other problems encountered in connection
with such transactions.
Recent Terrorist Activities and Resulting Military and Other Actions Could Adversely Affect Our Business.
The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, disrupted commerce throughout the world. In response to such
attacks, the U.S. is actively using military force to pursue those behind these attacks and initiating broader actions against global terrorism. The continued threat of terrorism throughout the world, the escalation of military action, and
heightened security measures in response to such threats may cause significant disruption to commerce throughout the world. To the extent that such disruptions result in reductions in capital expenditures or spending on information technology,
longer sales cycles, deferral or delay of customer orders, or an inability to effectively market our products, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
38
Our International Operations and Sales Subject Us to Risks Associated with Unexpected Activities
Outside of the United States.
The global reach of our business could cause us to be subject to unexpected,
uncontrollable and rapidly changing events and circumstances in addition to those experienced in locations within the United States. The following factors, among others, could have an adverse impact on our business and earnings:
|
|
|
conducting business in currencies other than United States dollars subjects us to factors such as currency controls and fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
|
|
|
|
we may be unable to hedge some transactions because of uncertainty or the inability to reasonably estimate our foreign exchange exposure;
|
|
|
|
we may hedge some anticipated transactions and transaction exposures, but could experience losses if exchange rates move in the opposite direction;
|
|
|
|
we may have difficulty in offering foreign technical standards; |
|
|
|
increased cost and development time required to localize our products; |
|
|
|
lack of experience in a particular geographic market; |
|
|
|
regulatory, social, political, labor or economic conditions in a specific country or region; |
|
|
|
reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries; |
|
|
|
cultural and language difficulties; |
|
|
|
difficulties in staffing and managing international operations; |
|
|
|
laws, policies and other regulatory requirements affecting trade and investment including loss or modification of exemptions for taxes and tariffs, and import
and export license requirements; |
|
|
|
exposure to different legal standards; |
|
|
|
difficulties in collecting accounts receivable and longer collection periods; and |
|
|
|
operating costs in many countries are higher than in the United States. |
The Euro Creates Uncertainty for Our Product Development and, as a Result, Could Affect Sales.
A number of our software releases contain European Monetary Union, or EMU, functionality that allows for dual currency reporting and information management. However, since the Euro has only recently
become a legally required currency in member nations, it is likely that not all issues related to conversion to EMU have surfaced yet, and we may not have adequately addressed some that do emerge. In addition, customers may use our products with
third-party products that may not be EMU compliant. Although we continue to take steps to address the impact, if any, of EMU compliance for such third-party products, failure of any critical technology components to operate properly under EMU
requirements may adversely affect sales or require us to incur unanticipated expenses to remedy any problems.
We Have Limited
Protection of Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights and May Potentially Infringe Third-Party Intellectual Property Rights.
We consider certain aspects of our internal operations, software and documentation to be proprietary, and rely on a combination of contract, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and other measures to protect this
information. Existing copyright laws afford only limited protection. We believe that the rapid pace of
39
technological change in the computer software industry has made trade secret and copyright protection less significant than factors such as:
|
|
|
knowledge, ability and experience of our employees; |
|
|
|
frequent software product enhancements; |
|
|
|
customer education; and |
|
|
|
timeliness and quality of support services. |
Our competitors may independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology. The laws of some countries in which our software products are or may be licensed
do not protect our software products and intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States.
We generally enter into confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, customers, consultants, and vendors. These agreements control access to and distribution of our software, documentation, and other proprietary
information. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may copy aspects of our products, obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary, or develop similar technology through reverse engineering or other
means. Preventing or detecting unauthorized use of our products is difficult. There can be no assurances that the steps we take will prevent misappropriation of our technology or that our license agreements will be enforceable. In addition, we may
resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of others proprietary rights, or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity in the future. Such
litigation could result in significant costs or the diversion of resources. This could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
Third parties may assert infringement claims against us. Although we do not believe that our products infringe on the proprietary rights of third parties, we cannot
guarantee that third parties will not assert or prosecute infringement or invalidity claims against us. These assertions could distract management, require us to enter into royalty arrangements, and could result in costly and time consuming
litigation, including damage awards. Such assertions or defense of such claims may materially adversely affect our business, operating results, or financial condition. In addition, such assertions could result in injunctions against us. Injunctions
that prevent us from distributing our products would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. If third parties assert such claims against us, we may seek to obtain a license to use such intellectual
property rights. There can be no assurance that such a license would be available on commercially reasonable terms.
We May Experience
Liability Claims Arising Out of the Licensing of Our Software and Provision of Services.
Our agreements
normally contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential liability claims. However, these provisions could be invalidated by unfavorable judicial decisions or by federal, state, local or foreign laws or ordinances. For example, we may
not be able to avoid or limit liability for disputes relating to product performance or the provision of services. If a claim against us were to be successful, we may be required to incur significant expense and pay substantial damages. Even if we
prevailed, the accompanying publicity could adversely impact the demand for our products and services.
We also
rely on certain technology that we license from third parties, including software that is integrated with our internally developed software. Although these third parties generally agree to indemnify us against claims that their technology infringes
on the proprietary rights of others, such indemnification is not always available for all types of intellectual property. Often such third-party indemnifiers are not well capitalized and may not be able to indemnify us in the event that their
technology infringes on the proprietary rights of others. As
40
a result, we may face substantial exposure in the event that technology we license from a third-party infringes on another partys proprietary rights. Defending such infringement claims,
regardless of their validity, could result in significant cost and diversion of resources.
We Face Risks Associated with the Security
of our Products.
We have included security features in certain of our Internet browser-enabled products that
are intended to protect the privacy and integrity of customer data. Despite these security features, our products may be vulnerable to break-ins and similar problems caused by Internet users. Such break-ins and other disruptions could jeopardize the
security of information stored in and transmitted through the computer systems of our customers. Break-ins include such things as hackers bypassing firewalls and accessing confidential information. Addressing problems caused by such break-ins may
have a material adverse effect on our business.
Although our license agreements with our customers contain
provisions designed to limit our exposure as a result of the defects listed above, such provisions may not be effective. Existing or future federal, state, or local laws or ordinances or unfavorable judicial decisions could affect their
enforceability. To date, we have not experienced any such claims, but there can be no assurance that this will not occur in the future. Because our products are used in essential business applications, a successful product liability claim could have
a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Additionally, defending such a suit, regardless of its merits, could entail substantial expense and require the time and attention of key management.
Growth in Our Operations Could Increase Demands on Our Managerial and Operational Resources.
If the scope of our operating and financial systems and the geographic distribution of our operations and customers increases
dramatically, it may increase demands on our management and operations. Our officers and other key employees will need to implement and improve our operational, customer support and financial control systems and effectively expand, train and manage
our employee base. Further, we may be required to manage an increasing number of relationships with various customers and other third parties. We may not be able to manage future expansion successfully, and our inability to do so could harm our
business, operating results and financial condition.
Our Stock Price Is Volatile and There Is a Risk of Litigation.
The trading price of our common stock has in the past and may in the future be subject to wide fluctuations in response to
factors such as the following:
|
|
|
revenue or results of operations in any quarter failing to meet the expectations, published or otherwise, of the investment community;
|
|
|
|
announcements of technological innovations by us or our competitors; |
|
|
|
new products or the acquisition of significant customers by us or our competitors; |
|
|
|
developments with respect to our copyrights or other proprietary rights or those of our competitors; |
|
|
|
changes in recommendations or financial estimates by securities analysts; |
|
|
|
conditions and trends in the software industry generally; |
|
|
|
the announcement of acquisitions or other significant transactions by us or our competitors; |
|
|
|
adoption of new accounting standards affecting the software industry; |
|
|
|
general market conditions; and |
|
|
|
domestic or international terrorism and other factors. |
41
Fluctuations in the price of our common stock may expose us to the risk of
securities class action lawsuits. Although no such lawsuits are currently pending against us and we are not aware that any such lawsuit is threatened to be filed in the future, there is no assurance that we will not be sued based on fluctuations in
the price of our common stock. Defending against such suits could result in substantial cost and divert managements attention and resources. In addition, any settlement or adverse determination of such lawsuits could subject us to significant
liability.
We Cannot Predict Every Event and Circumstance That May Impact Our Business and, Therefore, the Risks and Uncertainties
Discussed Above May Not Be the Only Ones You Should Consider.
The risks and uncertainties discussed above are
in addition to those that apply to most businesses generally. In addition, as we continue to operate our business, we may encounter other risks of which we are not aware at this time. These additional risks may cause serious damage to our business
in the future, the impact of which we cannot estimate at this time.
Foreign
Currency. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2002, we generated 13% of our revenues outside of the United States. International sales usually are made by our foreign subsidiaries and are denominated typically in U.S.
Dollars or British Pounds Sterling. However, the expenses incurred by foreign subsidiaries are denominated in the local currencies. There was no material impact on our revenues or expenses from foreign currency fluctuations in fiscal 2002. In
addition, a 10% movement in foreign currency rates would not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Interest rates. We manage our interest rate risk by maintaining an investment portfolio of held-to-maturity instruments with high credit quality and relatively short average maturities. These
instruments include, but are not limited to, money-market instruments, bank time deposits, and taxable and tax-advantaged variable rate and fixed rate obligations of corporations, municipalities, and national, state, and local government agencies,
in accordance with an investment policy approved by our Senior Management. These instruments are denominated in U.S. dollars. The fair market value of securities held at April 30, 2002 was approximately $15.4 million.
We also hold cash balances in accounts with commercial banks in the United States and foreign countries. These cash balances represent
operating balances only and are invested in short-term time deposits of the local bank. Such operating cash balances held at banks outside the United States are denominated in the local currency.
Many of our investments carry a degree of interest rate risk. When interest rates fall, our income from investments in variable-rate securities declines. When interest
rates rise, the fair market value of our investments in fixed-rate securities declines. We attempt to mitigate risk by holding fixed-rate securities to maturity, but should our liquidity needs force us to sell fixed-rate securities prior to
maturity, we may experience a loss of principal. We believe that a 10% change in average interest rates would not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Inflation. Although we cannot accurately determine the amounts attributable thereto, we have been affected by inflation through increased
costs of employee compensation and other operational expenses. To the extent permitted by the marketplace for our products and services, we attempt to recover increases in costs by periodically increasing prices.

LOGILITY, INC.
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Presentation and Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Business and Presentation
Logility, Inc. (the Company) develops, markets, and supports an integrated suite of business-to-business collaborative commerce software
products. This suite of products is designed to manage the flow of information and products along the entire value chain of an enterprise, from raw materials, manufacturing, and warehousing to final consumption. The Companys products and
services are used by customers within the United States and certain international markets.
The Company is
headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, and is an approximately 85%-owned subsidiary of American Software, Inc. (ASI). Prior to the contribution of the following operations by ASI to the Company, the Companys operations consisted of the following
divisions and subsidiary of ASI which were derived from ASIs consolidated financial statements: Supply Chain Planning and WarehousePRO divisions of ASI; and Distribution Sciences Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of ASI. Effective January 23,
1997, ASI formally contributed its Supply Chain Planning division to the Company. Effective August 1, 1997, ASI contributed its WarehousePRO division to the Company. Distribution Sciences, Inc. was merged into the Company on August 5, 1997.
(b) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, and SOP 98-9, Software Revenue Recognition With
Respect to Certain Transactions.
License. License revenues in connection with
license agreements for standard proprietary and tailored software are recognized upon delivery of the software, providing collection is considered probable, the fee is fixed or determinable, there is evidence of an arrangement, and vendor specific
objective evidence exists to defer any revenue related to undelivered elements of the arrangement.
Maintenance. Revenues derived from maintenance contracts primarily include telephone consulting, product updates, and releases of new versions of products previously purchased by the customer, as well as
error reporting and correction services. Maintenance contracts are typically sold for a separate fee with initial contractual periods ranging from one to three years with renewal for additional periods thereafter. Maintenance fees are generally
billed annually in advance. Maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement. In situations where the maintenance fee is bundled with the license fee, Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (VSOE) for maintenance is
determined based on stated renewal rates in the contract, which generally average 18% of the net license fee.
Services. Revenues derived from services primarily include consulting, implementation, and training. Fees are billed under both time and materials and fixed fee arrangements and are recognized as
services are performed.
The percentage-of-completion method of accounting is utilized to recognize revenue on
products under development for fixed amounts. Progress under the percentage-of-completion method is measured based on managements best estimate of the cost of work completed in relation to the total cost of work to be performed under the
contract. Any estimated losses on products under development for fixed amounts are immediately recognized in the combined financial statements.
Deferred Revenues. Deferred revenues represent advance payments or billings for software licenses, services, and maintenance billed in advance of the time revenues are
recognized.
48
LOGILITY, INC.
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
Indirect Channel Revenues. Sales are
made through indirect channels only when a sale has been made by the distributor to an end-user. Revenues from indirect channels are recognized upon delivery of the software to the end-user assuming all other conditions of SOP 97-2 and SOP 98-9 are
met.
(c) Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for licenses include amortization of capitalized computer software development costs and purchased computer software costs, salaries and benefits, and
royalties paid to third-party software vendors. Costs for maintenance and services include the cost of personnel to conduct implementations and customer support, consulting, and other personnel-related expenses.
(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
(e) Investments
Investments consist of commercial paper, corporate bonds, and government securities. The Company accounts for its investments under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. In accordance with SFAS No. 115, the Company has classified its investment portfolio as held-to-maturity, and has accounted for these investments at amortized cost. Accordingly, no
adjustment for unrealized holding gains or losses has been reflected in the Companys financial statements.
(f) Furniture and Equipment
Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost, less
accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of computer and communications equipment and furniture and fixtures is calculated using the straight-line method based upon estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years.
(g) Intangible Assets
Capitalized Computer Software Development Costs. The Company capitalizes certain computer software development costs in accordance with SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the
Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. Costs incurred internally to create a computer software product or to develop an enhancement to an existing product are charged to expense when incurred as research and
development expense until technological feasibility for the respective product is established. Thereafter, all software development costs are capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalization ceases
when the product or enhancement is available for general release to customers. The Company makes ongoing evaluations of the recoverability of its capitalized software projects by comparing the amount capitalized for each product to the estimated net
realizable value of the product. If such evaluations indicate that the unamortized software development costs exceed the net realizable value, the Company writes off the amount by which the unamortized software development costs exceed net
realizable value. Capitalized computer software development costs are being amortized ratably based on the projected revenue associated with the related software or on a straight-line basis over three years, whichever method results in a higher
level of amortization.
Purchased Computer Software Costs. Purchased computer
software costs represent the cost of acquiring computer software. Amortization of purchased computer software costs is calculated using the straight-line method over periods of three to five years, because this method results in a higher level of
amortization.

(h) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the
asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. Under SFAS 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Companys results of operations are included in the
consolidated Federal income tax return filed by ASI.
(i) Use of Estimates
Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities
and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these combined financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
(j) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company uses financial instruments in the normal course of its business. The carrying values of cash equivalents; trade accounts receivable and unbilled accounts
receivable; accounts payable; accrued compensation and related costs; accrued royalties; and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. See note 2 for disclosures regarding the
fair value of the Companys investments.
(k) Stock Compensation Plans
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which encourages entities to recognize
the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant as compensation expense over the vesting period. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 allows entities to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees, and provide pro forma disclosures for employee stock option grants as if the fair-value-based method as defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied.
50
LOGILITY, INC.
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
Under APB Opinion No. 25, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. The Company has elected to apply
the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosures under the provisions of SFAS No. 123.
(l) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for long-lived assets
in accordance with SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, which requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by a company be reviewed
for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. SFAS No. 121 also requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held for sale, other
than those related to discontinued operations, be reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
(m) Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2001 and
2000 combined financial statements to conform to the presentation adopted in 2002.
(n) Comprehensive Income
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income,
establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of financial statements. No statements of comprehensive income (loss) have been included in the accompanying combined financial statements
since comprehensive income (loss) and net income (loss) presented in the accompanying combined statements of operations would be the same.
(o) Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic earnings (loss) per
common share available to common shareholders are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share available to common shareholders are based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding and dilutive potential common shares, such as dilutive stock options.
The numerator in calculating
both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share for each year is the same as net income (loss). The denominator is based on the following number of common shares:

In accordance with the Companys Tax Sharing Agreement with
ASI, the Company computes a separate, stand-alone income tax provision and settles balances due to or from ASI on this basis. All benefits derived from deferred tax assets as defined in the Tax Sharing Agreement (which include net operating loss and
tax credit carryforwards) that arose prior to the initial public offering (of $5,768,000) were allocated to ASI. Accordingly, the Company will not receive any benefit from the $5,768,000 of contributed gross deferred tax assets. In addition, certain
deferred tax liabilities that arose prior to the initial public offering were allocated to the Company (which gives rise to the Companys net deferred tax liability of $2,882,000 at April 30, 2002 and $3,321,000 at April 30, 2001 recorded in
the accompanying combined balance sheets). To the extent the tax computation produces a tax benefit for the Company, ASI will be required to pay such amounts to the Company only if and when realized by ASI by a reduction in income taxes payable with
respect to the current tax period. At April 30, 2002, ASI had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $19 million which must be utilized by ASI before the Company would receive payment for any currently generated tax benefits. Such net
operating losses expire in varying amounts through 2022.
(7) Stockholders Equity
(a) Stock Compensation
Prior to August 7, 1997, the Company had not issued any stock options; however, certain employees of the Company received stock options of ASI. Effective August 7, 1997,
the Company adopted the Logility, Inc. 1997 Stock Plan (Stock Plan). The Stock Plan provides for grants of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to certain key employees and directors of the Company. The Stock Plan also allows for

appreciation rights in lieu of or in addition to stock options. Options to purchase a maximum of 1,200,000 shares of common stock and a maximum of 300,000 units of Stock Appreciation Rights
(SARs), as defined, may be granted under the Stock Plan. The options generally vest over a four-year period. The terms of the options generally are for ten years. The Company has not granted any SARs.
The Stock Plan further limits stock option grants by providing that the number of outstanding option shares, when added to the outstanding
shares held by shareholders other than American Software, may not exceed 20% of the issued and outstanding shares, if it were assumed that all of the stock options were exercised. As of April 30, 2002, the Company could grant up to 122,096
additional option shares under the limitation described above.

(b) Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In November 1998, the Company adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Purchase Plan) that offers employees the right to
purchase shares of the Companys common stock at 85% of the market price, as defined, pursuant to the Purchase Plan. Under the Purchase Plan, full-time employees, except persons owning 5% or more of the Companys common stock, are eligible
to participate after one month of employment. Employees may contribute up to 15% of their annual salary toward the Purchase Plan subject to a maximum of $15,000 per year. Common stock is purchased in the open market on behalf of the participants.
The Company contributes to the purchase price by funding a 15% discount to market price. A maximum of 200,000 shares of common stock may be purchased under the Purchase Plan. During the years ended April 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000, 40,265, 48,397, and
23,361 shares, respectively, were purchased on the open market, at a cost to the Company of $70,914, $73,607 and $147,782, respectively, representing the funded discount from market price.
(8) International Revenues and Significant Customer
International revenues were approximately $3.7 million or 13%, $4 million or 14%, and $3.7 million or 11% of combined revenues for the years ended April 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively, and were derived primarily from
customers in Europe.
One customer accounted for approximately 13% of combined revenues for the year ended April
30, 2000. No individual customer accounted for more than 10% of combined revenues for the years ended April 30, 2002 or 2001.

(9) Commitments and Contingencies
(a) 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan
The employees of the Company are offered the opportunity to participate in the ASI 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the 401(k) Plan), which is intended to be a tax-qualified defined contribution plan under
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the 401(k) Plan, employees are eligible to participate on the first day of the month following the date of hire. Eligible employees may contribute up to 15% of pretax income to the 401(k) Plan.
Subject to certain limitations, the Company may make a discretionary profit sharing contribution at an amount determined by the board of directors of the Company. The Company did not make profit sharing contributions for 2002, 2001, or 2000.
Effective January 1, 1999, the Company began contributing an employer match in an amount equal to 25% of the
eligible participants compensation contributed to the Plan subject to a maximum of 6% of compensation. The Companys matching contributions totaled approximately $126,000, $160,000, and $153,000 for 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.
Effective January 1, 2002, ASI amended the 401(k) Plan to discontinue the Companys matching contributions.
The 401(k) Plan was further amended to allow the Company to make a discretionary matching contribution at a rate to be determined by the Company. No discretionary matching contributions have been made subsequent to January 1, 2002.

Total revenues decreased 1% from the third quarter to the fourth
quarter in fiscal 2002. This was primarily the result of a decrease in services revenues, partially offset by increases in license fees and maintenance revenues. License fees increased 48% in the fourth quarter ended April 30, 2002 when compared to
the third quarter ended January 31, 2002, primarily as a result of increased sales effectiveness in the fourth quarter. Services revenues decreased 36% in the fourth quarter ended April 30, 2002 when compared to the third quarter ended January 31,
2002, as a result of decreased levels of software implementation services connected with past license fee sales. Maintenance revenues increased 3% in the fourth quarter ended April 30, 2002 when compared to the third quarter ended January 31, 2002.

Relationship with American Software, Inc.
In November 1997, we completed an initial public offering of 2,530,000 shares of common stock. Prior to that
time, Logility was a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Software, Inc. (NasdaqAMSWA) operating as the supply chain planning software group, warehouse management software group and transportation management group. In anticipation of such
offering, Logility and American Software entered into a number of
63
agreements for the purpose of defining certain relationships between the parties (the Intercompany Agreements). The more significant of the Intercompany Agreements are summarized
below. As a result of American Softwares ownership interest in Logility, the terms of such agreements were not the result of arms-length negotiation. Management of the Company believes, however, that the fees for the various services provided
would not exceed fees that would be paid if such services were provided by independent third parties.
Services Agreement
Logility and American Software have entered into a Services Agreement (the Services Agreement)
with respect to certain services to be provided by American Software (or subsidiaries of American Software) to Logility. The Services Agreement provides that such services are provided in exchange for fees equivalent to fees that would be paid if
such services were provided by independent third parties. The services initially provided by American Software to us under the Services Agreement include, among other things, certain accounting, cash management, corporate development, employee
benefit plan administration, human resources and compensation, general and administrative services, and risk management and tax services. In addition to these services, American Software has agreed to allow eligible employees of Logility to
participate in certain of American Softwares employee benefit plans.
We have agreed to reimburse American
Software for American Softwares costs (including any contributions and insurance premium costs and including third-party expenses and allocations of certain personnel expenses), generally in accordance with past practice, relating to the
participation by our employees in any of American Softwares benefit plans.
The Services Agreement had an
initial term of three years and is renewed automatically thereafter for successive one-year terms unless either Logility or American Software elects not to renew its term by giving proper notice. We will indemnify American Software against any
damages that American Software may incur in connection with its performance of services under the Services Agreement (other than those arising from American Softwares gross negligence or willful misconduct), and American Software will
indemnify us against any damages arising out of American Softwares gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its rendering of services under the Services Agreement. For the fiscal years ended April 30, 2002 and 2001, the
amounts paid by us to American Software pursuant to this agreement were $1.7 and $1.5 million, respectively.
Facilities Agreement
American Software and Logility have entered into a Facilities Agreement (the Facilities
Agreement), which provides that we may occupy space located in certain facilities owned or leased by American Software (or subsidiaries of American Software). The Facilities Agreement had an initial term of two years and is renewed
automatically thereafter for successive one-year terms unless either American Software or Logility elects not to renew its term. The Facilities Agreement may be terminated upon 30 days written notice by us for any reason with respect to any
particular facility. Our leasing of space at any facility under the Facilities Agreement is limited by the term of the underlying lease between American Software and a landlord with respect to any facility leased by American Software and by the
disposition by American Software of any facility owned by American Software. For the fiscal years ended April 30, 2002 and 2001, the amounts paid by us to American Software pursuant to this agreement were $509,000 and $763,000, respectively.
Included in these amounts are lease expense, utilities expense, telephone expense, and security expense.
Tax Sharing Agreement
We are included in American Softwares federal consolidated income tax group, and our federal income tax
liability will be included in the consolidated federal income tax liability of American Software and its subsidiaries. Logility and American Software have entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement (the Tax Sharing Agreement) pursuant to which
American Software and Logility will make payments between them such that the
64
amount of taxes to be paid by Logility, subject to certain adjustments, will be determined as though we were to file separate federal, state, and local income tax returns, rather than as a
consolidated subsidiary of American Software. Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, under certain circumstances, we will be reimbursed for tax attributes that we generate after deconsolidation of Logility from the consolidated tax group of American
Software, such as net operating losses and loss carry forwards. Deconsolidation is effective if and when American Softwares ownership of Logility falls below 80%. No such deconsolidation is currently in process. Such reimbursement, if any,
will be made for utilization of our losses only after such losses are utilized by American Software. For that purpose, all losses of American Software and its consolidated income tax group will be deemed utilized in the order in which they are
recognized. We will pay American Software a fee intended to reimburse American Software for all direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred with respect to American Softwares share of the overall costs and expense incurred by American
Software with respect to tax related services.
Technology License Agreement
American Software and Logility have entered into a Technology License Agreement (the Technology License Agreement) pursuant to which we have granted
American Software a non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, execute, reproduce, display, modify, and prepare derivatives of the Logility Voyager Solutions product line, provided such license is limited to maintaining and supporting users
that have licensed Logility Voyager Solutions products from American Software. Pursuant to the Technology License Agreement, American Software and Logility are required to disclose to one another any and all enhancements and improvements
which they may make or acquire in relation to a Logility Voyager Solutions product, subject to confidentiality requirements imposed by third parties. The term of the Technology License Agreement is indefinite, although we may terminate the
Technology License Agreement for cause, and American Software may terminate the Technology License Agreement at any time upon 60 days prior written notice to us. Upon termination of the Technology License Agreement, all rights to Logility
Voyager Solutions products licensed by Logility to American Software revert to Logility, while all rights to enhancements and improvements made by American Software to Logility Voyager Solutions products revert to American Software.
Marketing License Agreement
American Software USA, Inc. (USA), a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Software, and Logility have entered into a Marketing License Agreement (the Marketing License Agreement)
pursuant to which USA has agreed to act as a non-exclusive marketing representative for the solicitation of license agreements relating to the Logility Voyager Solutions product line. The Marketing License Agreement provides for the payment
to USA of a commission equal to 30% (or 50% for affiliates of USA located in the United Kingdom and France if they carry out installation and provide first-line support services) of the net license revenue collected by us under license agreements
for the Logility Voyager Solutions product line with certain end-users who are also licensees of software products of American Software which are secured and forwarded to us by USA and accepted by us. The Marketing License Agreement has a
five-year term, although we may terminate the Marketing License Agreement for cause, and either party may terminate the Marketing License Agreement at any time upon twelve months prior written notice to the other party. For the fiscal years
ended April 30, 2002 and 2001, the costs of services related to this agreement were $107,000 and $367,000, respectively.
