VIEWPOINT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, consistent in all material respects with those applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of Viewpoint Corporation’s (“Viewpoint” or the “Company”) financial position and operating results for the interim periods.

     These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulations S-X and, therefore, do not include all of the information and footnotes normally provided in annual financial statements. As a result, these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in Viewpoint’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003.

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2002 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2003 presentation.

Revenue Recognition

     The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended, and Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.”

     Viewpoint generates revenues through two sources: (a) software licenses and (b) services. License revenues are generated from licensing the rights to use our products directly to end-users and indirectly through Value Added Resellers (“VARs”). Service revenues are generated from fee-based professional services, sales of customer support services (maintenance contracts), and training services performed for customers that license our products.

     License revenues from customers include sales of perpetual and term based licenses for broadcasting digital content in the Viewpoint format. License revenues are recognized over the term of the license in a term-based broadcast license model when the term is less then 15 months, and up-front in a perpetual broadcast license model and a term-based broadcast license model when the term is 15 months or longer, providing that no significant vendor obligations remain and the resulting receivable is deemed collectible by management. License revenues from VARs require either (i) an up-front, non-refundable payment or (ii) a percentage royalty based on sell through, or both as consideration for the right to resell our technology. Up-front, non-refundable payments are recognized when the license right begins and the technology has been delivered to the VAR, which is upon contract signing, provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met and no further obligations exist. For arrangements that do not call for an up-front, non-refundable payment, revenue is recognized as the royalties are earned, which is upon notification of sell through, provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met and no further obligations exist.

     Fee-based professional services for customized software development are performed on a time-and-material or fixed-fee basis, under separate service arrangements. Revenues for fixed-fee arrangements are recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis in accordance with the provisions of SOP 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts” and SAB No. 101. Percentage-of-completion for service contracts is measured principally by the percentage of costs incurred and accrued to date for each contract, which principally consist of direct labor costs and overhead, to the estimated total cost for each contract at completion. Revenues from customer support services are recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Revenues from training services are recognized as services are performed.

VIEWPOINT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     Fees from licenses sold together with fee-based professional services are generally recognized upon delivery of the software, provided that the payment of the license fees are not dependent upon the performance of the services, and the services are not essential to the functionality of the licensed software. If the services are essential to the functionality of the software, or payment of the license fees are dependent upon the performance of the services, both the software license and service fees are recognized on a percentage of completion method of contract accounting.

     For arrangements involving multiple elements, we defer revenue for the undelivered elements based on their relative fair value and recognize the difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered elements as revenue. The determination of fair value of each undelivered element in multiple element arrangements is based on the price charged when the same element is sold separately. For maintenance and technical support elements, we use renewal rates to determine the price when sold separately.

     Standard terms for license and service agreements call for payment within 90 days. Probability of collection is based upon the assessment of the customer’s financial condition through the review of their current financial statements and/or credit reports. For follow-on sales to existing customers, prior payment history is also used to evaluate probability of collection. Our agreements with customers do not contain product return rights. If the fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized as payments become due from the customer. If a nonstandard acceptance period is required, revenues are recognized upon the earlier of customer acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period.

     The Company periodically enters into nonmonetary arrangements whereby the Company’s licenses or services are exchanged for services of its customers. Nonmonetary revenues are recognized at the estimated fair value of the services received. Generally, nonmonetary revenues equal nonmonetary expenses, however, due to timing, nonmonetary accounts receivable and accounts payable may result.

Stock-Based Compensation

     The Company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with Accounting Principals Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and complies with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, as amended by SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation–Transition and Disclosure.” Under APB Opinion No. 25, compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period based on the difference, if any, at the date of grant between the fair value of the Company’s stock and the exercise price. The Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 96-18 “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.”

     Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, and has been determined as if the Company has accounted for its stock option grants under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123. The fair value of options issued was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the Company’s options is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period. The Company’s pro forma non-cash stock-based compensation charges, net loss and net loss per common share would approximate the following (in thousands, except per share amounts):

                   
      As Reported   Pro Forma
     
 
Quarter Ended March 31, 2003:
               
 
Non-cash stock-based compensation charges
  $ 1,010     $ 1,953  
 
Net loss
    (6,506 )     (7,449 )
 
Basic and diluted net loss per common share
    (0.16 )     (0.18 )
Quarter Ended March 31, 2002:
               
 
Non-cash stock-based compensation charges
  $ 1,653     $ 3,165  
 
Net loss
    (10,984 )     (12,496 )
 
Basic and diluted net loss per common share
    (0.27 )     (0.31 )

     The effects of applying SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, in this pro forma disclosure are not indicative of future amounts. The Company anticipates grants of additional awards in the future.

VIEWPOINT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share

     Basic net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and diluted net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding. Common equivalent shares related to stock options and warrants totaling 2,127,866 and 9,698,416 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share because their effect was antidilutive.

Derivatives

     The Company accounts for the fair values of the warrants to purchase common stock and conversion options of its convertible notes in accordance with SFAS No. 133, which requires the Company to bifurcate and separately account for its embedded derivatives contained in the Company’s convertible notes. The Company is required to carry these embedded derivatives on its balance sheet at fair value and the unrealized changes in the value of these embedded derivatives are reflected in net income as changes in fair values of warrants to purchase common stock and conversion options of convertible notes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” which requires the consolidation by primary beneficiaries of variable interest entities (“VIEs”), as defined. The Company is subject to its provisions effective after January 31, 2003 for newly-acquired VIEs and the first fiscal or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 for VIE holdings acquired prior to February 1, 2003. The adoption of FIN No. 46 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

2. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

     Effective January 1, 2002, the Company completed the adoption of SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. As required by SFAS No. 142, the Company discontinued amortizing the remaining balances of goodwill as of January 1, 2002. All remaining and future acquired goodwill will be subject to impairment tests annually, or earlier if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach. When evaluating goodwill for potential impairment, the Company first compares the fair value of the reporting unit, based on market values of the reporting unit or on the present value of estimated future cash flows, with its carrying amount. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss calculation is prepared. The impairment loss calculation compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. All other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives and assessed for impairment under SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”

     In conjunction with the implementation of SFAS No. 142, the Company completed a goodwill impairment review as of January 1, 2002 and found no impairment on that date.

     The Company recorded $2,928,000 of additional goodwill during the first quarter of 2002 in connection with a contingent promissory note due Computer Associates on April 30, 2002 for the acquisition of Viewpoint Digital. As of March 31, 2002, due to the persistence of unfavorable economic conditions along with lower-than-expected revenues generated to date and reduced estimates of future performance of the Viewpoint Digital assets, the Company performed an additional impairment analysis on the goodwill and other intangible asset balances recorded upon the acquisition of Viewpoint Digital. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142 and SFAS No. 144, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling $6,275,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The fair value of the Viewpoint Digital assets was estimated using the expected present value of future cash flows. The assumptions supporting the cash flows, including the discount rate of 20%, were determined using the Company’s best estimates as of the date the impairment was recorded.

     In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, the Company completed a goodwill impairment review as of January 1, 2003 and found no impairment on that date.

     During the three months ended March 31, 2003, the market value of the Company’s equity securities declined below the Company’s carrying value indicating the existence of a potential goodwill impairment. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company performed the first step of the goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2003. The fair value of the Company was determined to exceed its carrying value based on an independent appraisal using a market-based approach with selected multiples ranging from 1.5 to 2.0 times revenues and 1.8 to 2.5 times gross

profit. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the second step of the impairment test was unnecessary, and no goodwill impairment charges were recorded.

3. Long Term Debt

     On December 31, 2002, the Company completed a private placement of convertible notes and warrants in which it issued to three institutional investors, 4.95% convertible notes having an aggregate principal amount of $7,000,000, and warrants to purchase 726,330 shares of Company common stock. Interest on the convertible notes was payable quarterly in arrears in cash or, at the option of the Company, in shares of Company common stock, provided the Company satisfied certain financial and other conditions. The convertible notes were to mature on December 31, 2007, unless earlier converted into shares of Company common stock at a price of $2.26 per share. The warrants expire on December 31, 2006, and are exercisable at a price of $2.26 per share.

     The Company was required to provide registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933 for shares of Company common stock covering (i) the conversion of $7,000,000 in principal, (ii) 726,330 warrants, and (iii) any potential payment of interest in the form of common stock.

     The convertible notes defined several events of default, including but not limited to: (i) failure of the Company’s registration statement to be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), (ii) delisting from The Nasdaq National Market or other national exchange, (iii) change in control, (iv) event of conversion default such as lack of authorized capital, (v) event of bankruptcy, (vi) failure to pay principal and interest on the convertible notes when payments become due, (vii) judgments against the Company in excess of $1,000,000 and (viii) material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other term. Upon an event of default, the convertible notes would immediately become due and payable, after a grace period to cure the default lapsed.

     Pursuant to SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” the Company bifurcated the fair value of the conversion options from the convertible notes since the conversion options were determined to not be clearly and closely related to the debt host. In addition, since the effective registration of the securities underlying the conversion options and warrants was an event outside of the control of the Company,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

pursuant to EITF Issue No. 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock,” the Company recorded the fair value of conversion options and warrants as long-term liabilities, as it is assumed that the Company will be required to net-cash settle the underlying securities. The fair values of the convertible notes, conversion options, and warrants of $5,535,000, $1,177,000, and $288,000, respectively, were determined based on an independent appraisal using the following assumptions: a 20% discount on the Company’s common stock price at December 31, 2002, a credit spread of 20% over LIBOR rates at December 31, 2002, and an annualized stock volatility of 46%. The aggregate value of the convertible notes and conversion options of $6,712,000, and the warrants of $288,000 are recorded as long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2002. Debt issue costs accrued and paid, which amounted to $622,000, were recorded as other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2002, in accordance with APB Opinion No. 21 “Interest on Receivables and Payables.” During the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company accrued an additional $46,000 in loan costs related to these convertible notes. The amortization of discount on the convertible notes and debt issue costs totaling $72,000 was accounted for in accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion No. 21, which requires amortization of the discount and debt issue costs using the interest method.

     On February 28, 2003, the Company received notices of default from two of the three investors. The notices alleged that the Company was in default of the notes because it had breached certain representations and warranties in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

     On March 25, 2003, the Company entered into Redemption, Amendment and Exchange Agreements with the three institutional investors with whom it had completed the private placement of convertible notes and warrants on December 31, 2002. Pursuant to these agreements, the notice of default was withdrawn and Viewpoint redeemed an aggregate of $3,300,000 principal amount of the outstanding convertible notes, exchanged an aggregate of $1,000,000 principal amount of the outstanding convertible notes for shares of Viewpoint common stock at $0.74 per share, and exchanged the remaining $2,700,000 principal amount of outstanding convertible notes for $2,700,000 principal amount of new convertible notes. The convertible notes were issued in three tranches of $900,000 each. The warrants to purchase 726,330 shares of Company common stock, which were issued to these investors on December 31, 2002, remain outstanding.

     Based on the provisions of SFAS No. 133 and EITF Issue No. 00-19, the Company recorded income based on the change in the fair value of the conversion options of the original convertible notes as of March 24, 2003, which amounted to $1,122,000, in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

     In accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion No. 26 “Early Extinguishment of Debt,” and EITF Issue No. 96-19 “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments”, the Company recorded a loss on the early extinguishment of the original convertible notes in the amount of $1,682,000 of which $650,000 related to the write-off of deferred loan costs. The carrying value of the convertible notes at the time of the exchange was $5,643,000, inclusive of $55,000, which represented the fair value of the conversion options. In conjunction with the extinguishment, the Company paid $3,300,000, issued new convertible notes in the principal amount of $2,700,000 and issued 1,351,351 shares of its common stock with a market value of $675,000. The difference between (i) the carrying value of the outstanding convertible notes exchanged and (ii) cash paid and the fair value of the common stock and convertible notes issued, amounted to $1,032,000 and was included in the loss on early extinguishment of debt.

     The Company charged the loss on early extinguishment of debt to operations as such loss did not qualify for classification as extraordinary based on the provisions of SFAS No. 145 “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections”, and APB 30 “Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions.”

     Interest on the new convertible notes is payable quarterly in arrears in cash or, at the option of the Company, in shares of Company common stock, provided the Company satisfies certain financial and other conditions. If interest is paid in shares of Company common stock, the number of shares to be issued shall be calculated by dividing the interest payable by 95% of the arithmetic average of the dollar volume-weighted average price of Company common stock on each of the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the interest payment date. The new convertible notes mature on December 31, 2007, unless earlier converted into shares of Company common

stock. The new convertible notes are initially convertible into Company common stock at a price of $2.26 per share. However, the conversion price may be adjusted as follows: (i) the conversion price of the first tranche will be equal to the arithmetic average of the dollar volume-weighted average price of Company common stock for the ten trading days following May 16, 2003, (ii) the conversion price of the second tranche will be equal to such average for the ten trading days following August 16, 2003, and (iii) the conversion price of the third tranche will be equal to such average for the ten trading days following November 16, 2003, provided, that the conversion price for each tranche of the notes shall not be less than $1.00 nor more than $2.26.

     If the Company raises capital after March 31, 2003, up to 20% of the net proceeds will be used, at the investors’ option, to redeem outstanding notes at par plus accrued interest.

     Each tranche of the notes is redeemable by the investors at any time after June 30, 2004 in cash at par plus accrued and unpaid interest if the dollar volume-weighted average price of Company common stock is less than the conversion price applicable to the notes for any 25 consecutive trading days. If the investors redeem their convertible notes, up to 20% of the amount to be redeemed may, at the Company’s option, be paid in shares of Company common stock, and said payment would be at 95% of the dollar volume-weighted average price of Company common stock for the 20 consecutive trading days immediately preceding payment. Each tranche of the notes is redeemable by the investors at any time after December 31, 2005 in cash at 83% of par plus accrued and unpaid interest if the dollar volume-weighted average price of Company common stock is less than the conversion price applicable to the notes for any 25 consecutive trading days following December 31, 2005.

     The Company has the right at any time to redeem up to all of the outstanding notes at par plus accrued and unpaid interest. If the redemption is after April 30, 2003, concurrently with any such redemption, the Company is required to deliver to the investors warrants, with an exercise price of $1.00 and a term equal to the remaining term of the notes being redeemed, to subscribe for a number of shares of common stock equal to X% of the principal amount being redeemed divided by the conversion price of the notes then in effect. “X%” means (i) before May 31, 2003, 50% and (ii) after May 31, 2003, 100%.

     Each tranche of the notes is convertible at the Company’s election at any time after April 15, 2004 if the dollar volume-weighted average price of Company common stock exceeds 150% of the conversion price applicable to the notes for any 25 consecutive trading days following April 15, 2004.

     The Company was required to file a registration statement by April 14, 2003, covering the resale of the shares of common stock issued to the investors in exchange for the $1,000,000 principal of convertible notes, the shares of common stock issuable to the investors upon the conversion of the notes, the shares of common stock underlying the warrants issued and to be issued, and any shares of common stock that may be issued as payment of interest on the notes. The Company is required to pay cash penalties if the registration statement is not declared effective by June 30, 2003.

     The investors may require the Company to sell additional 4.95% convertible notes having an aggregate principal amount of up to $2,800,000, and warrants to purchase up to 290,533 shares of Company common stock prior to December 31, 2003 or later if the registration statement is not effective by a certain date.

     The Company has the right to sell additional 4.95% convertible notes having an aggregate principal amount of up to $7,000,000 and warrants to purchase up to 726,330 shares of Company common stock prior to June 30, 2003, if the dollar volume-weighted average price of Company common stock exceeds $3.25 on each of not less than 15 trading days in any 20 consecutive trading-day period.

     Under the terms of the amended agreement, certain covenants and events of default were restructured as follows: the failure to have its registration statement declared effective by the SEC and the requirement to remain listed on The Nasdaq National Market or other national exchange, both of which were waived through March 2004, unless the Company receives a going concern or qualified opinion from its auditors. If such a report is received from the Company’s auditors through March 2004, the original events of default remain effective.

     Pursuant to SFAS No. 133, the Company bifurcated the fair value of the conversion options from the new convertible notes since the conversion options were determined to not be clearly and closely related to the debt host. In addition, since the effective registration of the securities underlying the conversion options is an event outside of the control of the Company, pursuant to EITF Issue No. 00-19, the Company recorded the fair value of the conversion options as long-term liabilities, as it is assumed that the Company will be required to net-cash settle the underlying securities. The fair value of the new convertible notes and conversion options of $2,361,000 and $339,000, respectively, was determined based on an independent appraisal using the following assumptions: the Company’s Common stock price at March 25, 2003, a credit spread of 30% over LIBOR rates at March 25, 2003, and an annualized stock volatility of 65%. The value of the new convertible notes and conversion options of $2,361,000 and $339,000, respectively are recorded as long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2003. Debt issue costs accrued, which amounted to $119,000, were recorded as other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2003, in accordance with APB Opinion No. 21.

     Based on the provisions of SFAS No. 133 and EITF Issue No. 00-19, the Company recorded income based on the changes in the fair values of the new conversion options and original warrants of $61,000 and $241,000, respectively, in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The amortization of discount on the new convertible notes and debt issue costs totaling $1,000 were accounted for using the interest method, in accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion No. 21.

     On March 26, 2003, Viewpoint Corporation entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with three other accredited investors, pursuant to which it received $3,500,000 in exchange for an aggregate of $3,500,000 principal amount of 4.95% subordinated notes and 3,614,756 shares of Viewpoint common stock.

     Interest on these notes is payable quarterly in arrears in cash. The notes contain certain events of default, including, but not limited to: i) failure to pay principal and interest on the notes when payments become due, ii) judgments against the Company in excess of $1,000,000, iii) event of bankruptcy, and iv) material breach of representations, covenant or other term. Upon an event of default, the notes will become immediately due and payable.

     The Company was required under the agreement to file a registration statement by May 9, 2003, covering the resale of the issued shares. The Company is required to pay cash penalties if the registration statement is not declared effective by July 24, 2003.

     The Company has the right at any time to redeem up to all of the outstanding notes at par plus accrued and unpaid interest.

     The $3,500,000 of proceeds was allocated to subordinated notes, common stock, and equity based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on March 26, 2003. In accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion No. 21, the Company recorded a debt discount of $2,024,000. Debt issue costs accrued, which amounted to $116,000, were recorded as other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2003 in accordance with APB Opinion No. 21. The amortization of the discount on the subordinated notes and debt issue costs totaling $6,000 were accounted for using the interest method, in accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion No. 21.

5. Restructuring and Impairment Charges

     In February 2003, the Company implemented a restructuring plan in order to reduce operating expenses by closing the Company’s Utah office and terminating 28 employees in that office who were primarily engaged in sales and marketing activities. In accordance with SFAS No. 146 “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” the Company recorded restructuring charges of $1,211,000. The restructuring charges represent the fair value of remaining lease commitments reduced by estimated sublease rentals, employee severance and termination benefits, the write-off of the net book value of certain fixed assets used in the Utah office, and other miscellaneous charges. The restructuring plan was completed by March 31, 2003.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

     In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results implied by the forward looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section entitled “Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations.” You should carefully review the risks described in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including any future reports to be filed in 2003 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2002. When used in this report, the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “targets,” “estimates,” and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward–looking statements or reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document.

Our graphics operating system has been licensed by Fortune 500 companies and others for use in online, offline and embedded applications serving a wide variety of needs, including: business process visualizations, marketing campaigns, rich media advertising and product presentations.

     The Company’s primary initiatives include:

    Licensing technology for specific marketing and e-commerce visualization solutions;
 
    Providing a full range of fee-based digital content creation and engineering professional services for implementing visualization solutions and creating new and enhancing existing enterprise software applications;
 
    Proliferating the Viewpoint format into digital advertisements on various digital media, primarily the Web;
 
    Forging technological alliances with leading interactive agencies and Web content providers; and
 
    Maximizing market penetration and name recognition, including distribution of the Company’s client-side software graphics operating system, Viewpoint Media Player.

     Viewpoint believes that its success will depend largely on its ability to improve and enhance its interactive media technologies.

Revenues from continuing operations primarily have been from the sale of technology licenses and fee-based professional services, including digital content creation services and engineering services to enhance and create new enterprise software applications.

     Viewpoint has a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of the Company and its prospects can be based. Viewpoint has had significant quarterly and annual operating losses since its inception, and as of March 31, 2003, had an accumulated deficit of $230,583,000. Viewpoint’s prospects must be considered in light of the risks and difficulties frequently encountered by early stage technology companies. There can be no assurance that Viewpoint will achieve or sustain profitability.

Service revenues are generated from fee-based professional services, sales of customer support services (maintenance contracts), and training services performed for customers that license our products.

     License revenues from customers include sales of perpetual and term based licenses for broadcasting digital content in the Viewpoint format. License revenues are recognized over the term of the license in a term-based broadcast license model when the term is less then 15 months, and up-front in a perpetual broadcast license model and a term-based broadcast license model when the term is 15 months or longer, providing that no significant vendor obligations remain and the resulting receivable is deemed collectible by management. License revenues from VARs require either (i) an up-front, non-refundable payment or (ii) a percentage royalty based on sell through, or both as consideration for the right to resell our technology. Up-front, non-refundable payments are recognized when the license right begins and the technology has been delivered to the VAR, which is upon contract signing, provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met and no further obligations exist. For arrangements that do not call for an up-front, non-refundable payment, revenue is recognized as the royalties are earned, which is upon notification of sell through, provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met and no further obligations exist.

     Fee-based professional services for customized software development are performed on a time-and-material or fixed-fee basis, under separate service arrangements. Revenues for fixed-fee arrangements are recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis in accordance with the provisions of SOP 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts” and SAB No. 101. Percentage-of-completion for service contracts is measured principally by the percentage of costs incurred and accrued to date for each contract, which principally consist of direct labor costs and overhead, to the estimated total cost for each contract at completion. Revenues from customer support services are recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Revenues from training services are recognized as services are performed.

     Fees from licenses sold together with fee-based professional services are generally recognized upon delivery of the software, provided that the payment of the license fees are not dependent upon the performance of the services, and the services are not essential to the functionality of the licensed software. If the services are essential to the functionality of the software, or payment of the license fees are dependent upon the performance of the services, both the software license and service fees are recognized on a percentage of completion method of contract accounting.

     For arrangements involving multiple elements, we defer revenue for the undelivered elements based on their relative fair value and recognize the difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered elements as revenue. The determination of fair value of each undelivered element in multiple element arrangements is based on the price charged when the same element is sold separately. For maintenance and technical support elements, we use renewal rates to determine the price when sold separately.

     License revenues increased approximately $428,000 or 36% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period last year. Service revenues increased approximately $323,000 or 31% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period last year.

     Throughout 2001 and the first three quarters of 2002, the Company’s sales and marketing efforts were directed at the broad spectrum of businesses with a presence on the internet. Beginning in the third quarter of 2002, the Company narrowed the focus of its direct sales and marketing efforts to companies in the automotive and consumer electronics industries and introduced its online advertising product. The Company believes that by narrowing its focus, it is better able to tailor its offerings to meet the specific desires of customers in fewer sectors which, in turn, increases the likelihood of sale. The Company further believes that the increase in license and service revenues from unrelated parties for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period last year is primarily due to this increased focus.

     Related party license revenues decreased approximately $2,285,000 or 98% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period last year. The decrease in related party license revenues stems from the Company’s contract with America Online, Inc. (“AOL”), under which the Company recognizes license revenues when payments are due. No payments were due from AOL in accordance with the contract during the three months ended March 31, 2003.

     Related party service revenues increased approximately $701,000 or 244% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period last year, due to an $826,000 increase in the volume of content creation and engineering professional services performed for AOL which was partially offset by a $125,000 decrease in engineering professional services work related to Computer Associates, Inc. (“Computer Associates”).

     Sales and marketing expenses include salaries and benefits, sales commissions, non-cash stock-based compensation charges, consulting fees, and travel and entertainment expenses for our sales and marketing personnel. Sales and marketing expenses also include the cost of programs aimed at increasing revenue, such as advertising, trade shows, and public relations.

     Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $20,000 or 1% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period last year due to a decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation charges of $605,000 partially offset by an increase in consulting expenses of $470,000 and travel and entertainment expenses of $108,000. Non-cash stock-based compensation charges decreased due to headcount reductions in marketing and creative service personnel who had received option grants in the past where the exercise price was lower than the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Currently the Company issues stock options to new personnel with an exercise price equal to the market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Consulting expenses increased due to training related costs associated with the Company’s plan to outsource certain content creation services to international partners, which the Company expects will increase its fee-based professional service margins over time. Travel and entertainment expenses increased due to an increased number of direct sales personnel during the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period last year.

     Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for software developers, contracted development efforts, and non-cash stock-based compensation charges related to the Company’s product development efforts. The Company expenses as incurred research and development costs necessary to establish the technological feasibility of its internally developed software products and technologies. To date, the establishment of technological feasibility of the Company’s products and general release has substantially coincided. As a result, the Company has not capitalized any internal software development costs since costs qualifying for such capitalization have not been significant. Additionally, the Company capitalizes costs of software, consulting services, hardware and payroll-related costs incurred to purchase or develop internal-use software, when technological feasibility has been established, it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended. The Company expenses costs incurred during preliminary project assessment, research and development, re-engineering, training and application maintenance.

     The Company’s research and development efforts are primarily directed at improving the overall quality of the Viewpoint Media Player and its proprietary software tools for creating digital content. In 2002, the Company: developed a “color swapping” feature of its graphics operating system that permits end users to change the colors of textures on static two-dimensional images; developed audio features for its graphics operating system; improved the quality of its ability to play back vector graphics animation files; and built an infrastructure for the delivery of online advertising products. Since December 2002, the Company has been developing a significant enhancement to the video playback functionality of the Viewpoint Media Player which the Company expects to make available in June 2003.

     Research and development expenses increased by $87,000 or 6% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period last year. The expenses within research and development remained relatively constant for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period last year, with minor increases contributing to the overall increase in research and development expenses.

     Quarterly savings of approximately $200,000 in research and development expenses are expected to be realized in the second quarter of 2003, resulting from the Company’s office consolidation and accompanying workforce reductions in Utah, as well as workforce reductions in New York and California, which occurred in the first quarter of 2003.

     In conjunction with the implementation of SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, the Company completed a goodwill impairment review as of January 1, 2002 and found no impairment on that date. As of March 31, 2002, due to the persistence of unfavorable economic conditions along with lower-than-expected revenues generated to date and reduced estimates of future performance of the Viewpoint Digital assets, the Company performed an additional impairment analysis on the goodwill and other intangible asset balances recorded upon the acquisition of Viewpoint Digital. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142 and SFAS No. 144, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling $6,275,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2002. The fair value of the Viewpoint Digital assets was estimated using the expected present value of future cash flows. The assumptions supporting the cash flows, including a discount rate of 20%, were determined using the Company’s best estimates as of the date the impairment was recorded.

     In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, the Company completed a goodwill impairment review as of January 1, 2003 and found no impairment on that date.

     During the three months ended March 31, 2003, the market value of the Company’s equity securities declined below the Company’s carrying value indicating the existence of a potential goodwill impairment. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company performed the first step of the goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2003. The fair value of the Company was determined to exceed its carrying value based on an independent appraisal using a market-based approach with selected multiples ranging from 1.5 to 2.0 times revenues and 1.8 to 2.5 times gross profit. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the second step of the impairment test was unnecessary, and no goodwill impairment charges were recorded.

     On December 31, 2002, the Company completed a private placement of convertible notes and warrants in which it issued to three institutional investors, 4.95% convertible notes having an aggregate principal amount of $7,000,000, and warrants to purchase 726,330 shares of Company common stock. Interest on the convertible notes was payable quarterly in arrears in cash or, at the option of the Company, in shares of Company common stock, provided the Company satisfied certain financial and other conditions. The convertible notes were to mature on December 31, 2007, unless earlier converted into shares of Company common stock at a price of $2.26 per share. The warrants expire on December 31, 2006, and are exercisable at a price of $2.26 per share.

     On February 28, 2003, the Company received notices of default from two of the three investors. The notices alleged that the Company was in default of the notes because it had breached certain representations and warranties in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

     On March 25, 2003, the Company entered into Redemption, Amendment and Exchange Agreements with the three institutional investors with whom it had completed the private placement of convertible notes and warrants on December 31, 2002. Pursuant to these agreements, the notice of default was withdrawn and Viewpoint redeemed an aggregate of $3,300,000 principal amount of the outstanding convertible notes, exchanged an aggregate of $1,000,000 principal amount of the outstanding convertible notes for shares of Viewpoint common stock at $0.74 per share, and exchanged the remaining $2,700,000 principal amount of outstanding convertible notes for $2,700,000 principal amount of new convertible notes. The convertible notes were issued in three tranches of $900,000 each. The warrants to purchase 726,330 shares of Company common stock, which were issued to these investors on December 31, 2002, remain outstanding.

     In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principals Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 26 “Early Extinguishment of Debt,” and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 96-19 “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments”, the Company recorded a loss on the early extinguishment of the original convertible notes in the amount of $1,682,000 of which $650,000 related to the write-off of deferred loan costs. The carrying value of the convertible notes at the time of the exchange was $5,643,000, inclusive of $55,000, which represented the fair value of the conversion options. In conjunction with the extinguishment, the Company paid $3,300,000, issued new convertible notes in the principal amount of $2,700,000 and issued 1,351,351 shares of its common stock with a market value of $675,000. The difference between (i) the carrying value of the outstanding convertible notes exchanged and (ii) cash paid and the fair value of the common stock and new convertible notes issued, amounted to $1,032,000 and was included in the loss on early extinguishment of debt.

     The Company charged the loss on early extinguishment of debt to operations as such loss did not qualify for classification as extraordinary based on the provisions of SFAS No. 145 “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of , and Technical Corrections”, and APB 30 “Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions.”

     In December 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan to focus exclusively on its interactive media technologies and digital content creation services and to correspondingly divest itself of its prepackaged software graphics business. Accordingly, these operations are reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

     Adjustment to net loss on disposal of discontinued operations increased by $90,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period last year due to royalty payments received related to certain prepackaged software.

Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations

     We believe that in the future our results of operations could be affected by various factors including:

    We have a history of losses and expect to incur losses in the future, which may cause our share price to decline;
 
    Our future revenues may be unpredictable and may cause our quarterly results to fall below market expectations;
 
    We may have to obtain financing on less favorable terms, which could dilute current stockholders’ ownership interests in the Company;
 
    We have limited cash resources which could limit our ability to fund operations;
 
    Our stock price is volatile, which could subject us to class action litigation;
 
    We may be delisted from Nasdaq, which would adversely impact our stock price and the ability of our stockholders to purchase and sell our shares in an orderly manner;
 
    We may effect a reverse stock split and if we do so, our stock price may decline after the reverse stock split;

23


Table of Contents

    If the Internet does not become a more widespread commerce medium, demand for our products and technologies may decline significantly;
 
    Our market is characterized by rapidly changing technology, and if we do not respond in a timely manner, our products and technologies may not succeed in the marketplace;
 
    Security risks could limit the growth of e-commerce which would adversely impact our ability to increase sales of graphics technology;
 
    We may be unable to protect our intellectual property rights;
 
    We may be liable for infringing the intellectual property rights of others;
 
    We may need to enter into business combinations and strategic alliances, which could be difficult to integrate and may disrupt our business;
 
    The loss of our key engineering or management employees would harm our business;
 
    If we fail to establish, maintain, or expand our strategic relationships for the integration of our technology with the services and products of third parties, the growth of our business may cease or decline;
 
    Clients that account for large portions of our revenues in one period may not generate similar amounts of revenue in subsequent periods;
 
    Our charter documents could make it more difficult for an unsolicited third party to acquire us.

Critical Accounting Policies And Estimates

     Viewpoint’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its critical accounting policies and estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and goodwill and other intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances though actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For a complete description of the Company’s accounting policies, see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

Revenue Recognition

     The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SOP 97-2, as amended, and SAB No. 101.

     Viewpoint generates revenues through two sources: (a) software licenses and (b) services. License revenues are generated from licensing the rights to use our products directly to end-users and indirectly through VARs. Service revenues are generated from fee-based professional services, sales of customer support services (maintenance contracts), and training services performed for customers that license our products.

     License revenues from customers include sales of perpetual and term based licenses for broadcasting digital content in the Viewpoint format. License revenues are recognized over the term of the license in a term-based

24


Table of Contents

broadcast license model when the term is less than 15 months, and up-front in a perpetual broadcast license model and a term-based broadcast license model when the term is 15 months or longer, providing that no significant vendor obligations remain and the resulting receivable is deemed collectible by management. License revenues from VARs require either (i) an up-front, non-refundable payment or (ii) a percentage royalty based on sell through, or both, as consideration for the right to resell our technology. Up-front, non-refundable payments are recognized when the license right begins and the technology has been delivered to the VAR, which is upon contract signing, provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met and no further obligations exist. For arrangements that do not call for an up-front, non-refundable payment, revenue is recognized as the royalties are earned, which is upon notification of sell through, provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met and no further obligations exist.

     Fee-based professional services for customized software development are performed on a time-and-material or fixed-fee basis, under separate service arrangements. Revenues for fixed-fee arrangements are recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis in accordance with the provisions of SOP 81-1 and SAB No. 101. Percentage-of-completion for service contracts is measured principally by the percentage of costs incurred and accrued to date for each contract, which principally consist of direct labor costs and overhead, to the estimated total cost for each contract at completion. Revenues from customer support services are recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Revenues from training services are recognized as services are performed.

     Fees from licenses sold together with fee-based professional services are generally recognized upon delivery of the software, provided that the payment of the license fees are not dependent upon the performance of the services, and the services are not essential to the functionality of the licensed software. If the services are essential to the functionality of the software, or payment of the license fees are dependent upon the performance of the services, both the software license and service fees are recognized on a percentage of completion method of contract accounting.

     For arrangements involving multiple elements, we defer revenue for the undelivered elements based on their relative fair value and recognize the difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered elements as revenue. The determination of fair value of each undelivered element in multiple element arrangements is based on the price charged when the same element is sold separately. For maintenance and technical support elements, we use renewal rates to determine the price when sold separately.

     Standard terms for license and service agreements call for payment within 90 days. Probability of collection is based upon the assessment of the customer’s financial condition through the review of their current financial statements and/or credit reports. For follow-on sales to existing customers, prior payment history is also used to evaluate probability of collection. Our agreements with customers do not contain product return rights. If the fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized as payments become due from the customer. If a nonstandard acceptance period is required, revenues are recognized upon the earlier of customer acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period.

     The Company periodically enters into nonmonetary arrangements whereby the Company’s licenses or services are exchanged for services of its customers. Nonmonetary revenues are recognized at the estimated fair value of the services received. Generally, nonmonetary revenues equal nonmonetary expenses, however, due to timing, nonmonetary accounts receivable and accounts payable may result.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

     Effective January 1, 2002, the Company completed the adoption of SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. As required by SFAS No. 142, the Company discontinued amortizing the remaining balances of goodwill as of January 1, 2002. All remaining and future acquired goodwill will be subject to impairment tests annually, or earlier if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach. When evaluating goodwill for potential impairment, the Company first compares the fair value of the

25


Table of Contents

reporting unit, based on market values of the reporting unit or on the present value of estimated future cash flows, with its carrying amount. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss calculation is prepared. The impairment loss calculation compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. All other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives and assessed for impairment under SFAS No. 144.

Derivatives

     The Company accounts for the fair values of the warrants to purchase common stock and conversion options of its convertible notes in accordance with SFAS No. 133, which requires the Company to bifurcate and separately account for its embedded derivatives contained in the Company’s convertible notes. The Company is required to carry these embedded derivatives on its balance sheet at fair value and the unrealized changes in the value of these embedded derivatives are reflected in net income as changes in fair values of warrants to purchase common stock and conversion options of convertible notes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” which requires the consolidation by primary beneficiaries of variable interest entities (“VIEs”), as defined. The Company is subject to its provisions effective after January 31, 2003 for newly-acquired VIEs and the first fiscal or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 for VIE holdings acquired prior to February 1, 2003. The adoption of FIN No. 46 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $6,883,000 at March 31, 2003, down from $11,568,000 at December 31, 2002.

     Net cash used in operating activities of the Company totaled $4,603,000 and $2,916,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2003 primarily resulted from a $6,506,000 net loss and $1,424,000 in income from changes in fair values of warrants to purchase common stock and conversion options of convertible notes, partially offset by $1,682,000 of a loss on early extinguishment of debt, $1,211,000 in restructuring and impairment charges related to an office closure, and $1,010,000 in non-cash stock-based compensation charges. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2002 primarily resulted from a $10,984,000 net loss, partially offset by $6,275,000 of impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, $1,653,000 in non-cash stock-based compensation charges and $1,159,000 in depreciation and amortization.

     Net cash used in investing activities totaled $348,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $1,033,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2003 primarily resulted from $491,000 in net purchases of marketable securities and $277,000 for the purchase of property and equipment, which was partially offset by a $424,000 net decrease in restricted cash. Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2002 primarily resulted from $1,273,000 in net proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities, partially offset by $216,000 for the purchase of property and equipment.

     Net cash used in financing activities totaled $218,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $566,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002.

Net cash provided by financing

activities for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was the result of proceeds received from the exercise of stock options by the Company’s employees.

     On December 31, 2002, the Company completed a private placement of convertible notes and warrants in which it issued to three institutional investors 4.95% convertible notes having an aggregate principal amount of $7,000,000, and warrants to purchase 726,330 shares of Company common stock. Interest on the convertible notes was payable quarterly in arrears in cash or, at the option of the Company, in shares of Company common stock, provided the Company satisfied certain financial and other conditions. The convertible notes were to mature on December 31, 2007, unless earlier converted into shares of Company common stock at a price of $2.26 per share. The warrants expire on December 31, 2006, and are exercisable at a price of $2.26 per share.

     The Company was required to provide registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933 for shares of Company common stock covering (i) the conversion of $7,000,000 in principal, (ii) 726,330 warrants, and (iii) any potential payment of interest in the form of common stock.

     The convertible notes defined several events of default, including but not limited to: i) failure of the Company’s registration statement to be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), ii) delisting from The Nasdaq National Market or other national exchange, iii) change in control, iv) event of conversion default such as lack of authorized capital, v) event of bankruptcy, vi) failure to pay principal and interest on the convertible notes when payments become due, vii) judgments against the Company in excess of $1,000,000 and viii) material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other term. Upon an event of default, the convertible notes would become immediately due and payable, after a grace period to cure the default lapsed.

     On February 28, 2003, the Company received notices of default from two of the three investors. The notices alleged that the Company was in default of the notes because it had breached certain representations and warranties in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

     On March 25, 2003, the Company entered into Redemption, Amendment and Exchange Agreements with the three institutional investors with whom it had completed the private placement of convertible notes and warrants on December 31, 2002. Pursuant to these agreements, the notice of default was withdrawn and Viewpoint redeemed an aggregate of $3,300,000 principal amount of the outstanding convertible notes, exchanged an aggregate of $1,000,000 principal amount of the outstanding convertible notes for shares of Viewpoint common stock at $0.74 per share, and exchanged the remaining $2,700,000 principal amount of outstanding convertible notes for $2,700,000 principal amount of new convertible notes. The convertible notes were issued in three tranches of $900,000 each. The warrants to purchase 726,330 shares of Company common stock, which were issued to these investors on December 31, 2002, remain outstanding.

     Interest on the new convertible notes is payable quarterly in arrears in cash or, at the option of the Company, in shares of Company common stock, provided the Company satisfies certain financial and other conditions. If interest is paid in shares of Company common stock, the number of shares to be issued shall be calculated by dividing the interest payable by 95% of the arithmetic average of the dollar volume-weighted average price of Company common stock on each of the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the interest payment date. The new convertible notes mature on December 31, 2007, unless earlier converted into shares of Company common stock. The new convertible notes are initially convertible into Company common stock at a price of $2.26 per share. However, the conversion price may be adjusted as follows: (i) the conversion price of the first tranche will be equal to the arithmetic average of the dollar volume-weighted average price of Company common stock for the ten trading days following May 16, 2003, (ii) the conversion price of the second tranche will be equal to such average for the ten trading days following August 16, 2003, and (iii) the conversion price of the third tranche will be equal to such average for the ten trading days following November 16, 2003, provided, that the conversion price for each tranche of the notes shall not be less than $1.00 nor more than $2.26.

     If the Company raises capital after March 31, 2003, up to 20% of the net proceeds will be used, at the investors’ option, to redeem outstanding notes at par plus accrued interest.

27


Table of Contents

     Each tranche of the notes is redeemable by the investors at any time after June 30, 2004 in cash at par plus accrued and unpaid interest if the dollar volume-weighted average price of Company common stock is less than the conversion price applicable to the notes for any 25 consecutive trading days. If the investors redeem their convertible notes, up to 20% of the amount to be redeemed may, at the Company’s option, be paid in shares of Company common stock, and said payment would be at 95% of the dollar volume-weighted average price of Company common stock for the 20 consecutive trading days immediately preceding payment. Each tranche of the notes is redeemable by the investors at any time after December 31, 2005, in cash at 83% of par plus accrued and unpaid interest if the dollar volume-weighted average price of Company common stock is less than the conversion price applicable to the notes for any 25 consecutive trading days following December 31, 2005.

     The Company has the right at any time to redeem up to all of the outstanding notes at par plus accrued and unpaid interest. If the redemption is after April 30, 2003, concurrently with any such redemption, the Company is required to deliver to the investors warrants, with an exercise price of $1.00 and a term equal to the remaining term of the notes being redeemed, to subscribe for a number of shares of common stock equal to X% of the principal amount being redeemed divided by the conversion price of the notes then in effect. “X%” means (i) before May 31, 2003, 50% and (ii) after May 31, 2003, 100%.

     Each tranche of the notes is convertible at the Company’s election at any time after April 15, 2004 if the dollar volume-weighted average price of Company common stock exceeds 150% of the conversion price applicable to the notes for any 25 consecutive trading days following April 15, 2004.

     The Company was required to file a registration statement by April 14, 2003, covering the resale of the shares of common stock issued to the investors in exchange for the $1,000,000 principal of convertible notes, the shares of common stock issuable to the investors upon the conversion of the notes, the shares of common stock underlying the warrants issued and to be issued, and any shares of common stock that may be issued as payment of interest on the notes. The Company is required to pay cash penalties if the registration statement is not declared effective by June 30, 2003.

     The investors may require the Company to sell additional 4.95% convertible notes having an aggregate principal amount of up to $2,800,000, and warrants to purchase up to 290,533 shares of Company common stock prior to December 31, 2003 or later if the registration statement is not effective by a certain date.

     The Company has the right to sell additional 4.95% convertible notes having an aggregate principal amount of up to $7,000,000 and warrants to purchase up to 726,330 shares of Company common stock prior to June 30, 2003, if the dollar volume-weighted average price of Company common stock exceeds $3.25 on each of not less than 15 trading days in any 20 consecutive trading-day period.

     Under the terms of the amended agreement, certain covenants and events of default were restructured as follows: the failure to have its registration statement declared effective by the SEC and the requirement to remain listed on The Nasdaq National Market or other national exchange, both of which were waived through March 2004, unless the Company receives a going concern or qualified opinion from its auditors. If such a report is received from the Company’s auditors through March 2004, the original events of default remain effective.

     On March 26, 2003, Viewpoint Corporation entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with three other accredited investors, pursuant to which it received $3,500,000 in exchange for an aggregate of $3,500,000 principal amount of 4.95% subordinated notes and 3,614,756 shares of Viewpoint common stock.

     Interest on these notes is payable quarterly in arrears in cash. The notes contain certain events of default, including, but not limited to: i) failure to pay principal and interest on the notes when payments become due, ii) judgments against the Company in excess of $1,000,000, iii) event of bankruptcy, and iv) material breach of

28

representations, covenant or other term. Upon an event of default, the notes will become immediately due and payable.

     The Company was required under the agreement to file a registration statement by May 9, 2003, covering the resale of the issued shares. The Company is required to pay cash penalties if the registration statement is not declared effective by July 24, 2003.

     The Company has the right at any time to redeem up to all of the outstanding notes at par plus accrued and unpaid interest.

     In February 2003, the Company implemented a restructuring plan in order to reduce operating expenses by closing the Company’s Utah office and terminating 28 employees in that office who were primarily engaged in sales and marketing activities. The Company recorded restructuring charges of $1,211,000. The restructuring charges represent the fair value of remaining lease commitments reduced by estimated sublease rentals, employee severance and termination benefits, the write-off of the net book value of certain fixed assets used in the Utah office, and other miscellaneous charges. The restructuring plan was completed by March 31, 2003. The Company anticipates quarterly savings of approximately $900,000 to be realized in the second quarter of 2003 related to the restructuring plan.

     The Company has contingency plans for 2003 if expected revenue targets are not achieved. These plans include further workforce reductions as well as reductions in overhead and capital expenditures.

     The Company believes that its current cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balances and cash provided by future operations, if any, are sufficient to meet its operating cash flow needs and anticipated capital expenditure requirements through at least the next twelve months. The Company may seek additional funds before that time through public or private equity financing or from other sources to fund our operations and pursue our growth strategy. We have no commitment for additional financing, and we may experience difficulty in obtaining additional financing on favorable terms, if at all. Any financing we obtain may contain covenants that restrict our freedom to operate our business or may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock and may dilute our current shareholders’ ownership interest in Viewpoint.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     The Company is subject to concentration of credit risk and interest rate risk related to cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Credit risk is managed by limiting the amount of securities placed with any one issuer, investing in high-quality marketable securities and securities of the U.S. government and limiting the average maturity of the overall portfolio. The majority of the Company’s portfolio, which is classified as available-for-sale, is comprised of fixed income securities that are subject to the risk of market interest rate fluctuations, and all of the Company’s securities are subject to risks associated with the ability of the issuers to perform their obligations under the instruments. The Company may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities, which have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

     Within 90 days prior to the date of this report (the Evaluation Date), the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c)). Based on that evaluation, these officers have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company and the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries would be made known to them by others within those entities.

Changes in internal controls

     There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls, or to the Company’s knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures subsequent to the Evaluation Date.
