SERVICEWARE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004
TABLE OF CONTENTS
1
PART I
On February 8, 2005, ServiceWare Technologies, Inc.
combined with Kanisa Inc. (Kanisa) through the
merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of ours with and into
Kanisa. As a result, Kanisa became our wholly owned subsidiary.
Kanisa was founded in 1997 and has pioneered the use of a
knowledge management platform for customer services
applications. Prior to the merger, Kanisa was a privately held
organization and its technology has resulted in broad industry
recognition and awards for its products and performance. Upon
the consummation of the merger, we relocated our headquarters to
Kanisas offices in Cupertino, California. Our board of
directors has approved renaming our company Knova Software, Inc.
We began doing business as Knova Software as of March 21,
2005, even though our stockholders have not yet formally
approved the name change. The matter will be voted on by the
shareholders in our annual meeting to take place in May 2005.
As used in this report, the terms we,
us, our, our company and
Knova means ServiceWare Technologies, Inc., d/b/a
Knova Software, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Overview
We are a provider of customer relationship management
(CRM) software applications, specifically applications that
enable customer service organizations to more effectively
resolve service requests and answer questions. Built on
knowledge management and search technologies, our service
resolution management (SRM) applications optimize the
resolution process across multiple service channels, including
contact centers, self-service websites, help desk, email and
chat. Our SRM applications complement, integrate with, and
enhance traditional CRM, contact center, and help desk
applications by providing patented knowledge management
solutions that improve service delivery. Our customers include
some of the largest companies in the world and our products
enable them to reduce operating and service delivery costs,
improve customer satisfaction, and increase revenues.
We are principally engaged in the design, development, marketing
and support of software applications and services. Substantially
all of our revenues are derived from a perpetual license of our
software products, the related professional services and the
related customer support, otherwise known as maintenance. We
license our software in arrangements in which the customer
purchases a combination of software, maintenance and/or
professional services, such as our training and implementation
services. Maintenance, which includes technical support and
product updates, is typically sold with the related software
license and is renewable at the option of the customer on an
annual basis after the first year. Our professional services and
technical support organizations provide a broad range of
implementation services, training, and technical support to our
customers and implementation partners. Our service organization
has significant product and implementation expertise and is
committed to supporting customers and partners throughout every
phase of their adoption and use of our solutions.
Products
We recently announced our new identity as Knova Software and
began selling a single product line of Knova software
applications.
By streamlining processes and providing customer service and
technical support personnel, as well as customers and employees,
with complete access to enterprise knowledge and content, Knova
applications enable organizations to increase customer
satisfaction and reduce operating and service delivery costs.
For example,
|
|
|
|
|
Customer service organizations can increase service-agent
productivity and customer retention while decreasing service
costs, training costs and resolution time. |
|
|
|
Customer service organizations can ensure consistent service and
customer interactions across channels by providing a unified
view of knowledge, enforcing consistent resolution processes in
the contact center, and providing seamless escalation with CRM
systems. |
2
|
|
|
|
|
Enterprises can provide customer self-service that reduces
service costs, improves customer satisfaction, and facilitates
sales and marketing of products and services. |
|
|
|
Information technology organizations can increase the
effectiveness of employee help desk operations while decreasing
internal technical support costs. |
|
|
|
Enterprises can preserve and enhance their existing deployments
of traditional call center, CRM and help desk applications, as
well as content management, knowledge management and workflow
tools. |
The following is a description of our products.
The Knova Application Suite is a suite of knowledge powered
service resolution management applications designed to enable
companies to better service and retain their customers and
employees. Specifically, we believe our Knova Application Suite
enables companies we service to improve employee productivity,
improve customer service, and increase customer satisfaction and
revenue.
The Knova Application Suite consists of the following business
applications:
|
|
|
|
|
Knova Contact Center is an assisted-service application
for customer service and help desk agents that enables them to
resolve customer issues and questions more effectively. Knova
Contact Center integrates a sophisticated knowledge management
system with additional features such as search, collaboration,
interview scripting, email response, and knowledge authoring.
Knova Contact Center features business process support
integrated with customer relationship management systems that
can tailor the resolution experience based on the
customers or employees issue or question. |
|
|
|
Knova Self-Service is a self-service application that
enables customers and employees to resolve their own issues and
questions on an enterprise website. Knova Self-Service features
business process support that can provide a personalized and
guided resolution experience based on the issue or question the
customer or employee has. |
|
|
|
Knova Forums is an application for online customer
communities and forums that enable customers to discuss and
collaborate on topics of interest, including an
enterprises products and services. Knova Forums enable
customers and employees to assist each other, reducing service
delivery costs and providing valuable insight to the enterprise. |
|
|
|
Knova Service Desk is a packaged knowledge management
solution for service desks to resolve questions, author
knowledge, and manage repositories of intellectual capital.
Knova Service Desk is integrated with traditional service and
help desk applications from companies such as Remedy and Hewlett
Packard (HP). It is based on a patented
self-learning search technology that improves with usage. Knova
Service Desk features application modules for different user
types and functions. |
The Knova Application Suite is built on and deployed with the
Knova Knowledge Platform. The Knova Knowledge Platform features
several core technology components and capabilities accessed by
Knova applications and used by customers. These include:
|
|
|
|
|
A knowledge auto-classification engine that automatically tags
and organizes disparate knowledge sources, including
unstructured documents, transaction data, experts, and authored
support content. |
|
|
|
A natural language processing (NLP) search engine that
enables users to find the knowledge they require based on their
query, intent, and goal. This search engine also provides a
guided search experience based on a patented approach to
knowledge management that enables users to narrow search results
by dynamic parameters and drill-drown options. |
|
|
|
A patented self-learning search and knowledge management
technology called the Cognitive Processor that enables
organizations to capture and manage repositories of intellectual
capital and knowledge. |
3
|
|
|
|
|
The Cognitive Processor uses patented algorithm technology based
on neural network and Bayesian statistical principles that
enable learning and improvement from past transactions. |
|
|
|
The Resolution Flow business process engine is a rules-based
engine that guides users through a designed service experience
based on the context of their query, profile, or case. |
|
|
|
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and pre-built adaptors
for integrating the Knova Application Suite with complementary
business applications from vendors such as Siebel, Amdocs,
PeopleSoft, Remedy, HP and others, using industry-standard
protocols and approaches. |
|
|
|
Technology and Architecture |
We employ industry-standard technologies to create an
object-based open architecture for all of our applications. The
architecture is based on the Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE)
framework that includes components specifically designed to take
advantage of the modern web environment. We also have provided
some of our applications based on Microsofts .NET
framework.
Our solutions run on leading operating systems and databases and
we are continually updating our software to run on common
environments. Currently we support existing customers on
Windows, Solaris and NT operating environments and a wide range
of J2EE-compliant application servers.
Our technology is also based on the popular Extensible Markup
Language (XML) and Simple Object Access Protocol
(SOAP) framework. The use of XML and SOAP standards enable
our products to be more easily integrated with enterprise
systems and web services.
Strategy
Our objective is to become the leading provider of service
resolution management applications that enable our customers to
reduce service and operating costs, improve customer
satisfaction, and thereby increase revenues. To achieve our
goal, we intend to:
|
|
|
|
|
Support Successful Customer Implementations. Our success
depends on our customers successful implementations of
Knova applications. To this end, we actively support the
customers deployment efforts by providing Internet and
telephone technical support, instructor-led training, and
account management teams. |
|
|
|
Maintain and Extend Our Advanced Technology Position. We
intend to broaden our position in the knowledge management and
customer service and support solutions market by continuing to
increase the performance, functionality, and scalability of our
solutions. We plan to continue to devote resources to the
development of new and innovative technologies and products, to
increase efficiencies, to offer immediate answers, and to
minimize service response time. We intend to expand our current
offerings to incorporate advances in knowledge acquisition,
business process support, and multi-channel interactions. |
|
|
|
Expand Strategic Alliances. To broaden our market
presence, enter new geographic and vertical markets, and
increase adoption of our solutions, we plan to strengthen
existing and pursue additional strategic alliances with
consultants, systems integrators, value-added resellers, and
independent software vendors of complementary products. We
intend to use these relationships to increase our sales by
taking advantage of these organizations industry
expertise, business relationships, and sales and marketing
resources. |
|
|
|
Further Develop International Presence. To capitalize on
international opportunities for our SRM applications and
knowledge management solutions, we intend to expand our
international presence through global offices as well as local
distributors, including Merlin Information Systems in the United
Kingdom. |

Sales & Marketing
We sell our solutions primarily through our direct sales force.
We have sales personnel throughout the United States and in the
United Kingdom. Our direct sales activity is supplemented by
several channel relationships, including relationships with
Amdocs, HP, Capgemini, eVergance, and Merlin Information Systems.
To increase the effectiveness of our direct selling efforts and
our penetration of the knowledge management solutions market, we
build brand awareness of Knova Software and our solutions
through marketing programs. These programs include print and web
advertisements, direct mailings, public relations activities,
seminars and other major industry/partner events, market
research and our website.
Our marketing organization creates materials to support the
sales process, including brochures, data sheets, case studies,
presentations, white papers and demonstrations. In addition, our
marketing group helps identify and develop key strategic
alliance opportunities and channel distribution relationships.
Strategic Alliances
We have established strategic alliances in several categories to
extend our market reach, to augment our sales and marketing
initiatives, to supplement our implementation and deployment
capabilities, and enhance our product capabilities. Alliance
categories include:
|
|
|
|
|
Resellers and Distributors: Knova has active reseller
relationships with Amdocs Software Systems Limited and Hewlett
Packard, which provide complementary CRM and service desk
solutions, as well as Capgemini Technologies, LLC, eVergance
Partners, LLC, and Merlin Information Systems, which provide
consulting and implementation services. |
|
|
|
Complementary Software Partners: Knova participates in
several alliance programs of vendors who provide complementary
business applications and software. These include Siebel
Systems, Inc., Amdocs Software Systems Limited, Remedy, Hewlett
Packard, and Genesys Telecommunications Laboratory. |
|
|
|
Consulting and System Integration Partners: Knova works
closely with leading system integration, consulting and
outsourcing firms, and has established alliances with Capgemini
Technologies, LLC, Electronic Data Systems Corporation,
eVergance Partners, LLC, Stratacom Inc., Hewlett Packard, and
Merlin Information Systems. |
|
|
|
Technology Partners: To deploy our software effectively
across varied IT environments, Knova maintains technology
partnerships with Inxight Software Inc., WebMethods, Inc. In
addition, our software is developed on and tested against
platform software from providers of database, operating system
and application server software. |
Research and Development
Our internal research and development team, based in Cupertino,
California, together with our outside development resources
develop our product and service offerings. In conjunction with
our outside development resources, we continue to enhance the
features and performance of our existing products and services.
In addition, we are continuing to develop our products and
services to meet our customers expectations of ongoing
innovation and enhancement within our suite of products and
services. In 2001, we entered into an agreement with EPAm
Systems of Princeton, New Jersey, and Minsk, Belarus, to augment
our research and development capabilities. This relationship
gives us access to approximately 500 developers in what we
believe to be a cost effective offshore model. EPAm Systems is
ISO 9001 certified and has completed complicated projects for
major international corporations including Fortune
500 companies. This relationship has allowed us to
streamline operating costs and increase productivity. Research
and development is conducted by way of a clearly defined process
that is a subset of industry standard Rational Unified Process.
We renewed our agreement with EPAm Systems on April 1,
2002. This agreement states that consulting services will be
provided in accordance with specific work orders. Payment for
these services is billed as the
6
work is incurred or at a fixed fee agreed upon for the work
order. As of December 31, 2004, the agreement remains in
effect.
Our ability to meet our customers expectations depends on
a number of factors, including our ability to identify and
respond to emerging technological trends in our target markets,
develop and maintain competitive products, enhance our existing
products and services by adding features and functionality that
differentiate them from those of our competitors and bring
products and services to market on a timely basis and at
competitive prices. Consequently, we have made, and we intend to
continue to make, investments in research and development.
For a description of our research and development related
expenses, see the Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 7 of
this Form 10-K.
Competition
Competition in our marketplace is rapidly evolving and intense,
and we expect competition to intensify further in the future as
current competitors expand their product offerings and new
competitors enter the market. Current competitors include
in-house developed applications and providers of commercially
available CRM, search and knowledge management solutions,
including Kana Software, Inc., eGain Communications Corporation,
Inquira, Inc., iPhrase Technologies, Inc., SupportSoft, and Art
Technology Group, Inc.
We believe that the principal competitive factors affecting our
market include referenceable customers, the breadth and depth of
a given solution, product quality and performance, customer
service, core technology, product scalability and reliability,
product features and the ability to implement solutions and
respond quickly to customer needs.
Although we believe that we currently compete favorably with
respect to the principal competitive factors in our market, we
may not be able to maintain our competitive position against
current and potential competitors, especially those with
significantly greater financial, marketing, service, support,
technical and other resources. It is possible that new
competitors or alliances among competitors may emerge and
rapidly acquire significant market share. We also expect that
competition will increase as a result of industry consolidation.
Intellectual Property
Our success and ability to compete effectively depends, in part,
upon our proprietary rights. We rely on a combination of patent,
copyright, trade secret, and trademark laws, confidentiality
procedures and contractual provisions to establish and protect
our proprietary rights in our software, documentation, and other
written materials. These legal protections afford only limited
protections for our proprietary rights and may not prevent
misappropriation of our technology or deter third parties from
developing similar or competing technologies.
We seek to avoid disclosure of our intellectual property by
generally entering into confidentiality or license agreements
with our employees, consultants and companies with which we have
alliances, and we generally control access to, and distribution
of, our software, documentation, and other proprietary
information. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary
rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise
obtain and use our products or technology or to develop products
with the same functionality as our products.
Policing unauthorized use of our proprietary information is
difficult, and we may be unable to determine the extent of
unauthorized copying or use of our products or technology.
Further, third parties who have been granted certain limited
contractual rights to use our proprietary information may
improperly use or disclose such proprietary information. In
addition, certain components of our product suite require us to
have licenses from third parties for use. These licenses may be
subject to cancellation or non-renewal. In this event, we will
be required to obtain new licenses for use of these products,
which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if
at all, and could result in product shipment delays and
unanticipated product development costs.
7
Employees
As of March 16, 2005, we had 106 employees consisting of 28
in sales, 37 in professional services and support, 20 in
research and development, 9 in marketing, and 12 in general and
administration. Of these employees, 59 were previously employed
by Kanisa. We strive to maintain a work environment that fosters
professionalism, excellence, and cooperation among our employees.

Internet Address and SEC Reports
We maintain a website with the address www.knova.com. We
have not incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on
Form 10-K the information on our website, and the
information on our website should not be considered to be a part
of this document. Our website address is included in this
document for reference only. We make available free of charge
(other than an investors own Internet access charges)
through our website our Annual Report on Form 10-K,
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on
Form 8-K, and amendments to these reports, through a link
to the EDGAR database, as soon as reasonably practicable after
we electronically file, or furnish material to the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the SEC). We also include
on our website our corporate governance guidelines and the
charters for each of the major committees of our board of
directors. In addition, we intend to disclose on our website any
amendments to, or waivers from, our code of business conduct and
ethics that are required to be publicly disclosed pursuant to
rules of the SEC.
Business History
We were initially incorporated as a Pennsylvania corporation in
January 1991 as ServiceWare, Inc. In July 1999, we acquired the
Molloy Group, Inc., a provider of knowledge powered software for
strengthening customer relationships, including its rights to
the Cognitive Processor. In May 2000, we changed our name to
ServiceWare Technologies, Inc. and reincorporated as a Delaware
corporation. In August 2000, we closed our
8
initial public offering. Prior to July 2001, we had two
reportable business segments: software and content. In July
2001, we completed the sale of our content business. In response
to poor financial performance and the economic downturn, during
2001 we announced strategic corporate restructuring programs
pursuant to which we significantly reduced costs and focused our
business exclusively on revenue growth opportunities in our
software business. As part of the restructuring plans,
approximately 180 employees were laid off during 2001.
In February 2005, we merged with Kanisa, Inc., a privately held
company based in Cupertino, California. Kanisa is a provider of
service resolution management applications that automate the
problem resolution process across multiple customer service
channels. Kanisa was founded in 1997 and originally incorporated
as a Delaware corporation as Papyrus Technology, Inc. Kanisa
changed its name from Papyrus Technology, Inc. to Kanisa, Inc.
in November 1997. In 2002, Kanisa acquired the assets of Quiq,
Inc., a provider of software solutions for customer communities
and peer-support forums. In July 2003, Kanisa acquired Jeeves
Solutions, the enterprise search division of Ask Jeeves (Nasdaq:
ASKJ).
Financial information regarding revenues and long lived assets
attributable to the United States versus international
operations is found in Note 15 to our consolidated
financial statements in Item 8 below.
Additional Factors that May Affect Future Results
Set forth below and elsewhere in this Form 10-K and in
other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission are risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from the results contemplated by
the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-K
or the results indicated or projected by our historical results.
|
|
|
We may not be able to reverse our history of
losses. |
As of December 31, 2004, we had an accumulated deficit of
$78.2 million. In addition, Kanisa has incurred losses
since its inception. Although, we achieved profitability on a
quarterly basis for the first time in second quarter 2004 and
were also profitable in third and fourth quarters 2004, we
incurred a net loss of $1.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004. Transition expenses to be incurred in
connection with the combination of our operations with Kanisa
will likely contribute to net losses in 2005. Thereafter, we
will need to increase our revenues and control expenses to avoid
continued losses. In addition, our history of losses may cause
some of our potential customers to question our viability, which
might hamper our ability to make sales.
|
|
|
We may need additional capital to fund continued business
operations and we cannot be sure that additional financing will
be available when and if needed. |
Although we presently have adequate cash resources for our near
term needs, our ability to continue as a business in our present
form will ultimately depend on our ability to generate
sufficient revenues or to obtain additional debt or equity
financing. From time to time, we consider and discuss various
financing alternatives and expect to continue such efforts to
raise additional funds to support our operational plan as
needed. However, we cannot be certain that additional financing
will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at
all.
|
|
|
If we are not able to obtain capital when needed, we may
need to dramatically change our business strategy and direction,
including pursuing options to sell or merge our business. |
In the past, we have funded our operating losses and capital
expenditures through proceeds from equity offerings and debt.
Changes in equity markets within the past several years have
adversely affected our ability to raise equity financing and
have adversely affected the markets for debt financing for
companies with a history of losses such as ours. If we raise
additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked
or debt securities, those securities may have rights,
preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of our
common stock and, in light of our current market capitalization,
our stockholders may experience substantial dilution. Further,
the issuance of debt securities could increase the risk or
perceived risk of our company. If we are not able to obtain
necessary capital, we may need to dramatically change our
business strategy and direction, including pursuing options to
sell or merge our business.

|
|
Our cash flow may not be sufficient to permit repayment of
any future debt when due. |
Although we do not have any outstanding debt other than trade
debt incurred in the ordinary course of business, we may need
to, in the future, raise additional money through bank financing
or debt instruments. Our ability to retire or to refinance any
future indebtedness will depend on our ability to generate cash
flow in the future. Our cash flow from operations may be
insufficient to repay this indebtedness at scheduled maturity.
If we are unable to repay or refinance our debt when due, we
could be forced to dispose of assets under circumstances that
might not be favorable to realizing the highest price for the
assets or to default on our obligations with respect to this
indebtedness.

|
|
Failure of our recent combination with Kanisa to achieve
its potential benefits could harm our business and operating
results. |
We recently acquired our subsidiary Kanisa Inc. We will not
achieve the anticipated benefits of this acquisition unless we
are successful in combining our operations and integrating our
products. Integration will be a complex, time consuming and
expensive process and will result in disruption of our
operations and revenues if not completed in a timely and
efficient manner. We are in the process of combining various
aspects of our organizations through the common use of:
|
|
|
|
|
marketing, sales and service and support organizations; |
|
|
|
information and communications systems; |
|
|
|
operating procedures; |
|
|
|
accounting systems and financial controls; and |
|
|
|
human resource policies, procedures and practices, including
benefit programs. |
There may be substantial difficulties, costs and delays involved
in integrating Kanisa into our business. These could include:
|
|
|
|
|
problems with compatibility of business cultures; |
|
|
|
customer perception of an adverse change in service standards,
business focus or product and service offerings; |
|
|
|
costs and inefficiencies in delivering products and services to
our customers; |
|
|
|
problems in successfully coordinating our research and
development efforts; |
|
|
|
difficulty in integrating sales, support and product marketing; |
|
|
|
costs and delays in implementing common systems and procedures,
including financial accounting systems; and |
|
|
|
the inability to retain and integrate key management, research
and development, technical sales and customer support personnel. |
As we integrate the ServiceWare and Kanisa products into a
single product platform, we will need to ultimately transition
our customers onto the new platform. This transition could cause
interruptions or inconvenience for our customers and potentially
result in a loss of renewals and continuing revenues for us.
Further, we cannot assure you that we will realize any of the
anticipated benefits and synergies of the combination. Any one
or all of the factors identified above could cause increased
operating costs, lower than anticipated financial performance,
or the loss of customers, employees or business partners. The
failure to integrate Kanisa successfully would have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations.
10
|
|
|
The change in management effected by the merger might not
be successful. |
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement entered into with Kanisa, Bruce
Armstrong, the chief executive officer of Kanisa, has become our
chief executive officer and Mark Angel, chief technology officer
of Kanisa, has become our chief technology officer after the
merger. In addition, our headquarters were relocated to
Kanisas offices in Cupertino, California, following the
merger. We cannot assure you that our new senior officers will
be effective in managing our company or will successfully work
with our current organization, customers and business partners.
|
|
|
Failure to retain key employees could diminish the
anticipated benefits of the merger. |
The success of the merger will depend in part on the retention
of personnel critical to the business and operations of the
combined company due to, for example, their technical skills or
management expertise. Some of our employees may not want to
continue to work for the combined company. In addition,
competitors may seek to recruit employees during the
integration. If we are unable to retain personnel that are
critical to our successful integration and future operation, we
could face disruptions in our operations, loss of existing
customers, loss of key information, expertise or know-how, and
unanticipated additional recruitment and training costs. In
addition, the loss of key personnel could diminish the
anticipated benefits of the merger.
|
|
|
The market price of our common stock may decline as a
result of the merger. |
The market price of our common stock may decline as a result of
the merger if:
|
|
|
|
|
our integration with Kanisa is not as successful as anticipated |
|
|
|
we do not achieve or are perceived not to have achieved the
expected benefits of the merger as rapidly or to the extent
anticipated by financial or industry analysts or investors |
|
|
|
the effect of the merger on our financial results is not
consistent with the expectations of financial or industry
analysts or investors. |
The market price of our common stock could also decline as a
result of unforeseen factors related to the merger or other
factors described in this section.
|
|
|
The substantial costs of our combination with Kanisa could
harm our financial results. |
In connection with our combination with Kanisa, we incurred
substantial costs. These include fees to investment bankers,
legal counsel, independent accountants and consultants, as well
as costs associated with workforce reductions. If the benefits
of the combination do not exceed the associated costs, including
any dilution to our stockholders resulting from the issuance of
shares of our common stock in the transaction, our financial
results, including earnings per share, could suffer, and the
market price of our common stock could decline.
|
|
|
We may not succeed in attracting and retaining the
personnel we need for our business. |
Our business requires the employment of highly skilled
personnel, especially experienced software developers. The
inability to recruit and retain experienced software developers
in the future could result in delays in developing new versions
of our software products or could result in the release of
deficient software products. Any such delays or defective
products would likely result in lower sales. We may also
experience difficulty in hiring and retaining sales personnel,
product managers and professional services employees.
|
|
|
A significant percentage of our product development is
performed by a third party internationally, the loss of which
could substantially impair our product development
efforts. |
A significant percentage of our product development work, and
some of our implementation services, is performed by a
third-party development organization located in Minsk, Belarus.
Unpredictable developments in the political, economic and social
conditions in Belarus, or our failure to maintain or renew our
business relationship with this organization on terms similar to
those which exist currently, could reduce or eliminate
11
product development and implementation services. If access to
these services were to be unexpectedly eliminated or
significantly reduced, our ability to meet development
objectives vital to our ongoing strategy would be hindered or we
may be required to incur significant costs to find suitable
replacements, and our business could be seriously harmed.
|
|
|
It is difficult to draw conclusions about our future
performance based on our past performance due to significant
fluctuations in our quarterly operating results and the merger
with Kanisa. |
We manage our expense levels based on our expectations regarding
future revenues and our expenses are relatively fixed in the
short term. Therefore, if revenue levels are below expectations
in a particular quarter, operating results and net income are
likely to be disproportionately adversely affected because our
expenses are relatively fixed. In addition, a significant
percentage of our revenues is typically derived from large
orders from a limited number of customers, so it is difficult to
estimate accurately the timing of future revenues. Our revenues
are unpredictable and in our last eight quarters have fluctuated
up and down between a low of $1.8 million in first quarter
2004 and a high of $4.0 million in third quarter 2004.
Our historical results may not be indicative of future
performance as a result of the significant changes to our
business that will result from the merger with Kanisa.
Our quarterly results are also impacted by our revenue
recognition policies. Because we generally recognize license
revenues upon installation and training, sales orders from new
customers in a quarter might not be recognized during that
quarter. Delays in the implementation and installation of our
software near the end of a quarter could also cause recognized
quarterly revenues and, to a greater degree, results of
operations to fall substantially short of anticipated levels. We
often recognize revenues for existing customers in a shorter
time frame because installation and training can generally be
completed in significantly less time than for new customers.
However, we may not be able to recognize expected revenues at
the end of a quarter due to delays in the receipt of expected
orders from existing customers.
Quarterly results may also be skewed in the near future as a
result of the assimilation of the ServiceWare and Kanisa
businesses.
Revenues in any given quarter are not indicative of revenues in
any future period because of these and other factors and,
accordingly, we believe that certain period-to-period
comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily
meaningful and should not be relied upon as indicators of future
performance.
|
|
|
The markets for knowledge management and service
resolution management are evolving and, if they do not grow
rapidly, our business will be adversely affected. |
The markets for knowledge management and service resolution
management solutions are emerging industries, and it is
difficult to predict how large or how quickly they will grow, if
at all. Customer service historically has been provided
primarily in person or over the telephone with limited reference
materials available for the customer service representative. Our
business model assumes that companies which provide customer
service over the telephone will find value in aggregating
institutional knowledge by using our software and will be
willing to access our content over the Internet. Our business
model also assumes that companies will find value in providing
some of their customer service over the Internet rather than by
telephone. Our success will depend on the broad commercial
acceptance of, and demand for, these knowledge management and
service resolution management solutions.
|
|
|
We currently have one core product family. If the demand
for this line of products declines, our business will be
adversely affected. |
Our knowledge powered service resolution management application,
Knova Application Suite, includes our Knova Contact Center,
Knova Self-Service, Knova Forums, and Knova Service Desk
software products. Our past and expected future revenues consist
primarily of license fees for these software solutions and fees
for related services. Factors adversely affecting the demand for
these products and our products in general, such as competition,
pricing or technological change, could materially adversely
affect our business, financial
12
condition, operating results, and the value of our stock price.
Our future financial performance will substantially depend on
our ability to sell current versions of our entire suite of
products and our ability to develop and sell enhanced versions
of our products.
|
|
|
Due to the lengthy sales cycles of our products and
services, the timing of our sales is difficult to predict and
may cause us to miss our revenue expectations. |
Our products and services are typically intended for use in
applications that may be critical to a customers business.
In certain instances, the purchase of our products and services
involves a significant commitment of resources by prospective
customers. As a result, our sales process is often subject to
delays associated with lengthy approval processes that accompany
the commitment of significant resources. For these and other
reasons, the sales cycle associated with the licensing of our
products and subscription for our services typically ranges
between six and eighteen months and is subject to a number of
significant delays over which we have little or no control.
While our customers are evaluating whether our products and
services suit their needs, we may incur substantial sales and
marketing expenses and expend significant management effort. We
may not realize forecasted revenues from a specific customer in
the quarter in which we expend these significant resources, or
at all, because of the lengthy sales cycle for our products and
services.
|
|
|
We may not be able to expand our business internationally,
and, if we do, we face risks relating to international
operations. |
Our business strategy includes efforts to attract more
international customers. By doing business in international
markets we face risks, such as unexpected changes in tariffs and
other trade barriers, fluctuations in currency exchange rates,
political instability, reduced protection for intellectual
property rights in some countries, seasonal reductions in
business activity during the summer months in Europe and certain
other parts of the world, and potentially adverse tax
consequences, any of which could adversely impact our
international operations.
|
|
|
If we are not able to keep pace with rapid technological
change, sales of our products may decrease. |
The software industry is characterized by rapid technological
change, including changes in customer requirements, frequent new
product and service introductions and enhancements and evolving
industry standards. If we fail to keep pace with the
technological progress of our competitors, sales of our products
may decrease.
|
|
|
We depend on technology licensed to us by third parties,
and the loss of this technology could delay implementation of
our products, injure our reputation or force us to pay higher
royalties. |
We rely, in part, on technology that we license from a small
number of software providers for use with our products. After
the expiration of these licenses, this technology may not
continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at
all, and may be difficult to replace. The loss of any of these
technology licenses could result in delays in introducing or
maintaining our products until equivalent technology, if
available, is identified, licensed and integrated. In addition,
any defects in the technology we may license in the future could
prevent the implementation or impair the functionality of our
products, delay new product introductions or injure our
reputation. If we are required to enter into license agreements
with third parties for replacement technology, we could be
subject to higher royalty payments.
|
|
|
Problems arising from the use of our products with other
vendors products could cause us to incur significant
costs, divert attention from our product development efforts and
cause customer relations problems. |
Our customers generally use our products together with products
from other companies. As a result, when problems occur in a
customers systems, it may be difficult to identify the
source of the problem. Even when our products do not cause these
problems, they may cause us to incur significant warranty and
repair costs,
13
divert the attention of our technical personnel from our product
development efforts and cause significant customer relations
problems.
|
|
|
If third parties cease to provide open program interfaces
for their customer relationship management software, it will be
difficult to integrate our software with theirs. This may
decrease the attractiveness of our products. |
Our ability to compete successfully also depends on the
continued compatibility and interoperability of our products
with products and systems sold by various third parties,
specifically including CRM software sold by Siebel Systems,
Amdocs, PeopleSoft/ Oracle, SAP, Remedy, Hewlett Packard, and
Peregrine. Currently, these vendors have open applications
program interfaces, which facilitate our ability to integrate
with their systems. If any one of them should close their
programs interface or if they should acquire one of our
competitors, our ability to provide a close integration of our
products could become more difficult, or impossible, and could
delay or prevent our products integration with future
systems. Inadequate integration with other vendors
products could make our products less desirable and could lead
to lower sales.
|
|
|
We face intense competition from both established and
recently formed entities, and this competition may adversely
affect our revenues and profitability because we compete in the
emerging markets for knowledge management and service resolution
management solutions. |
We compete in the emerging markets for knowledge management and
service resolution management solutions and changes in these
markets could adversely affect our revenues and profitability.
We face competition from many firms offering a variety of
products and services. In the future, because there are
relatively low barriers to entry in the software industry, we
expect to experience additional competition from new entrants
into the knowledge management and service resolution management
solutions market. It is also possible that alliances or mergers
may occur among our competitors and that these newly
consolidated companies could rapidly acquire significant market
share. Greater competition may result in price erosion for our
products and services, which may significantly affect our future
operating margins.
|
|
|
If our software products contain errors or failures, sales
of these products could decrease. |
Software products frequently contain errors or failures,
especially when first introduced or when new versions are
released. In the past, we have released products that contained
defects, including software errors in certain new versions of
existing products and in new products after their introduction.
In the event that the information contained in our products is
inaccurate or perceived to be incomplete or out-of-date, our
customers could purchase our competitors products or
decide they do not need knowledge management or service
resolution management solutions at all. In either case, our
sales would decrease. Our products are typically intended for
use in applications that may be critical to a customers
business. As a result, we believe that our customers and
potential customers have a great sensitivity to product defects.
|
|
|
We could incur substantial costs as a result of product
liability claims because our products are critical to the
operations of our customers businesses. |
Our products may be critical to the operations of our
customers businesses. Any defects or alleged defects in
our products entail the risk of product liability claims for
substantial damages, regardless of our responsibility for the
failure. Although our license agreements with our customers
typically contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to
potential product liability claims, these provisions may not be
effective under the laws of some jurisdictions. In addition,
product liability claims, even if unsuccessful, may be costly
and divert managements attention from our operations.
Software defects and product liability claims may result in a
loss of future revenue, a delay in market acceptance, the
diversion of development resources, damage to our reputation or
increased service and warranty costs.
14
|
|
|
If our customers system security is breached and
confidential information is stolen, our business and reputation
could suffer. |
Users of our products transmit their and their customers
confidential information, such as names, addresses, social
security numbers and credit card information, over the Internet.
In our license agreements with our customers, we typically
disclaim responsibility for the security of confidential data
and have contractual indemnities for any damages claimed against
us. However, if unauthorized third parties are successful in
illegally obtaining confidential information from users of our
products, our reputation and business may be damaged, and if our
contractual disclaimers and indemnities are not enforceable, we
may be subject to liability.
|
|
|
We may acquire or make investments in companies or
technologies that could hurt our business. |
In addition to our combination with Kanisa, in the future, we
may pursue mergers or acquisitions to obtain complementary
businesses, products, services or technologies. Entering into a
merger or acquisition entails many risks, any of which could
adversely affect our business, including:
|
|
|
|
|
failure to integrate the acquired assets and/or companies with
our current business; |
|
|
|
the price we pay may exceed the value we eventually realize; |
|
|
|
potential loss of share value to our existing stockholders as a
result of issuing equity securities as part or all of the
purchase price; |
|
|
|
potential loss of key employees from either our current business
or the acquired business; |
|
|
|
entering into markets in which we have little or no prior
experience; |
|
|
|
diversion of managements attention from other business
concerns; |
|
|
|
assumption of unanticipated liabilities related to the acquired
assets; and |
|
|
|
the business or technologies we acquire or in which we invest
may have limited operating histories and may be subject to many
of the same risks we are. |
Any of these outcomes could prevent us from realizing the
anticipated benefits of any additional acquisitions. To pay for
an acquisition, we might use stock or cash or, alternatively,
borrow money from a bank or other lender. If we use our stock,
our stockholders would experience dilution of their ownership
interests. If we use cash or debt financing, our financial
liquidity would be reduced. We may be required to capitalize a
significant amount of intangibles, including goodwill, which may
lead to significant amortization charges. In addition, we may
incur significant, one-time write offs and amortization charges.
These amortization charges and write offs could decrease our
future earnings or increase our future losses.
|
|
|
We may not be able to protect our intellectual property
rights, which may cause us to incur significant costs in
litigation and an erosion in the value of our brands and
products. |
Our business is dependent on proprietary technology and the
value of our brands. We rely primarily on patent, copyright,
trade secret and trademark laws to protect our technology and
brands. Our patents may not survive a legal challenge to their
validity or provide meaningful protection to us. Litigation to
protect our patents could be expensive and the loss of our
patents would decrease the value of our products. Defending
against claims of patent infringement would also be expensive
and, if successful, we could be forced to redesign our products,
pay royalties, or cease selling them. In addition, effective
trademark protection may not be available for our trademarks.
The use by other parties of our trademarks would dilute the
value of our brands.
Notwithstanding the precautions we have taken, a third party may
copy or otherwise obtain and use our software or other
proprietary information without authorization or may develop
similar software independently. Policing unauthorized use of our
technology is difficult, particularly because the global nature
of the Internet makes it difficult to control the ultimate
destination or security of software or other transmitted data.
15
Further, we have granted certain third parties limited
contractual rights to use proprietary information, which they
may improperly use or disclose. The laws of other countries may
afford us little or no effective protection of our intellectual
property. The steps we have taken may not prevent
misappropriation of our technology, and the agreements entered
into for that purpose may not be enforceable. The unauthorized
use of our proprietary technologies could also decrease the
value of our products.
|
|
|
We may initiate lawsuits to protect or enforce our
patents. Lawsuits may be expensive and, depending on the
verdict, we may lose some, if not all, of our intellectual
property rights, and this may impair our ability to compete in
the market. |
We believe that some companies, including direct and indirect
competitors, may be infringing our patents. In order to protect
or enforce our patent rights, we may initiate patent litigation
suits against third parties, such as infringement suits or
interference proceedings. Lawsuits that we may file are likely
to be expensive, may take significant time and could divert
managements attention from other business concerns.
Litigation also places our patents at risk of being invalidated
or interpreted narrowly. Lawsuits may also provoke these third
parties to assert claims against us. Patent law relating to the
scope of claims in the technology fields in which we operate is
still evolving and, consequently, patent positions in our
industry are generally uncertain. We may not prevail in any
suits we may bring, the damages or other remedies that may be
awarded to us may not be commercially valuable and we could be
held liable for damages as a result of counterclaims.
|
|
|
The success of our software products depends on its
adoption by our customers employees. If these employees do
not accept the implementation of our products, our customers may
fail to renew their service contracts and we may have difficulty
attracting new customers. |
The effectiveness of our products depends in part on widespread
adoption and use of our software by our customers customer
service personnel and on the quality of the solutions they
generate. Resistance to our software by customer service
personnel and an inadequate development and maintenance of the
systems knowledge resources, business rule, and other
configurations may make it more difficult to attract new
customers and retain old ones.
Some of our customers have found that customer service personnel
productivity initially drops while customer service personnel
become accustomed to using our software. If an enterprise
deploying our software has not adequately planned for and
communicated its expectations regarding that initial
productivity decline, customer service personnel may resist
adoption of our software.
|
|
|
We depend on increased business from our new customers
and, if we fail to grow our client base or generate repeat
business, our operating results could be adversely
affected. |
Some of our customers initially make a limited purchase of our
products and services for pilot programs. If these customers do
not successfully develop and deploy such initial applications,
they may choose not to purchase complete deployment or
development licenses. Some of our customers who have made
initial purchases of our software have deferred or suspended
implementation of our products due to slower than expected rates
of internal adoption by customer service personnel. If more
customers decide to defer or suspend implementation of our
products in the future, we will be unable to increase our
revenue from these customers from additional licenses or
maintenance agreements, and our financial position will be
seriously harmed.
In addition, as we introduce new versions of our products or new
products, our current customers may not need our new products
and may not ultimately license these products. Any downturn in
our software licenses revenues would negatively impact our
future service revenues because the total amount of maintenance
and service fees we receive in any period depends in large part
on the size and number of licenses that we have previously sold.
In addition, if customers elect not to renew their maintenance
agreements, our service revenues could be significantly
adversely affected.
16
|
|
|
A decline in information technology spending could reduce
the sale of our products. |
The license fees for our products often represent a significant
expenditure of information technology (IT) capital
for our customers. Any slowdown in the national or global
economy or increased uncertainty resulting from acts of
terrorism or war could cause existing and potential customers to
reduce or reassess their planned IT expenditures. Such
reductions in or eliminations of IT spending could cause us to
be unable to maintain or increase our sales volumes, and
therefore, have a material adverse effect on our revenues,
operating results, ability to generate positive cash flow and
stock price.
|
|
|
Increasing government regulation of the Internet could
harm our business. |
As knowledge management, service resolution management, and the
Internet continue to evolve, we expect that federal, state and
foreign governments will adopt laws and regulations tailored to
the Internet addressing issues like user privacy, taxation of
goods and services provided over the Internet, pricing, content
and quality of products and services. If enacted, these laws and
regulations could limit the market for knowledge management and
service resolution management services and, therefore, the
market for our products and services. Additionally, Internet
security issues could deter customers from using the Internet
for certain transactions or from implementing customer support
websites.
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 prohibits certain types of
information and content from being transmitted over the
Internet. The prohibitions scope and the liability
associated with a violation of the Telecommunications Acts
information and content provisions are currently unsettled. The
imposition of potential liability upon us and other software and
service providers for information carried on or disseminated
through our applications could require us to implement measures
to reduce our exposure to this liability. These measures could
require us to expend substantial resources or discontinue
certain services. In addition, although substantial portions of
the Communications Decency Act, the act through which the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 imposes criminal penalties, were
held to be unconstitutional, similar legislation may be enacted
and upheld in the future. It is possible that new legislation
and the Communications Decency Act could expose companies
involved in Internet liability, which could limit the growth of
Internet usage and, therefore, the demand for knowledge
management and service resolution management solutions. In
addition, similar or more restrictive laws in other countries
could have a similar effect and hamper our plans to expand
overseas.
|
|
|
We may become involved in securities class action
litigation, which could divert managements attention and
harm our business. |
In recent years, the common stocks of technology companies have
experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. These
broad market fluctuations may cause the market price of our
common stock to decline. In the past, following periods of
volatility in the market price of a particular companys
securities, securities class action litigation has often been
brought against that company. We may become involved in that
type of litigation in the future. Litigation is often expensive
and diverts managements attention and resources, which
could harm our business and operating results.
|
|
|
Our stock price may be adversely affected since our stock
is not listed on an exchange or The Nasdaq Stock Market. |
As our stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, investors
may find it more difficult to dispose of or obtain accurate
quotations as to the market value of the securities. In
addition, we are subject to a rule promulgated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission that, if we fail to meet criteria set
forth in such rule, various practice requirements are imposed on
broker-dealers who sell securities governed by the rule to
persons other than established customers and accredited
investors. For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer
must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser
and have received the purchasers written consent to the
transactions prior to purchase. Consequently, the rule may deter
broker-dealers from recommending or purchasing our common stock,
which may further affect the liquidity of our common stock.
17
Our failure to be listed on an exchange or Nasdaq makes trading
our shares more difficult for investors. It may also make it
more difficult for us to raise additional capital. Further, we
may also incur additional costs under state blue sky laws in
connection with any sales of our securities.
|
|
|
Shares available for future sale could adversely affect
our stock price. |
Future sales of a substantial number of shares of our common
stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales
may occur, could adversely affect trading prices of our common
stock from time to time. As of the time of this filing,
8,754,785 shares of our common stock are outstanding.
Virtually all of the shares outstanding prior to the Kanisa
merger (approximately 5,252,245 shares) are freely tradable
without restriction or further registration under the Securities
Act, except for any shares which are owned by an affiliate of
ours as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the
Securities Act and that are not registered for resale under our
currently effective prospectus. The shares of our common stock
issued in the merger with Kanisa and the shares of our common
stock owned by our affiliates and not registered for resale
under our currently effective prospectus are restricted
securities, as that term is defined in Rule 144, and may in
the future be sold under the Securities Act to the extent
permitted by Rule 144 or any applicable exemption under the
Securities Act.
|
|
|
Our management owns a significant percentage of our
company and will be able to exercise significant influence over
our actions. |
Our officers and directors and related entities, who in the
aggregate directly or indirectly control more than 50% of our
outstanding common stock and voting power, control us. These
stockholders collectively will likely be able to control our
management policy, decide all fundamental corporate actions,
including mergers, substantial acquisitions and dispositions,
and elect our board of directors.
|
|
|
Voting agreements in place assure election of our current
directors for 2005 and 2006. |
Certain of our stockholders owning more than 50% of our voting
stock have entered into voting agreements to vote in favor of
the current board members up for election in 2005 and 2006. This
could negatively affect the ability of any third party to gain
control of our company.
|
|
|
Terrorist attacks and other attacks or acts of war may
adversely affect the markets on which our common stock trades,
our financial condition and our results of operations. |
Acts of terrorism in the United States or elsewhere could cause
instability in the United States and other financial markets.
Armed hostilities or further acts of terrorism could cause
further instability in financial markets and could directly
impact our financial condition and our results of operations.
|
|
|
The regulatory environment surrounding accounting and
corporate governance subjects us to certain legal uncertainties
in the operation of our business and may increase the cost of
doing business. |
We will face increased regulatory scrutiny associated with the
highly publicized financial scandals and the various accounting
and corporate governance rules promulgated under the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related regulations. Our
management will review and will continue to monitor our
accounting policies and practices, legal disclosure and
corporate governance policies under the new legislation,
including those related to relationships with our independent
auditors, enhanced financial disclosures, internal controls,
board and board committee practices, corporate responsibility
and executive officer loan practices. We intend to fully comply
with these laws. Nevertheless, the increased scrutiny and
penalties involve risks to both us and our executive officers
and directors in monitoring and ensuring compliance. A failure
to properly navigate the legal disclosure environment and
implement and enforce appropriate policies and procedures, if
needed, could harm our business and prospects, including our
ability to recruit and retain skilled officers and directors. In
addition, we may be adversely affected as a result of new or
revised legislation or regulations imposed by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, other U.S. or foreign governmental
regulatory authorities or self-regulatory organizations that
supervise the financial markets. We also may be adversely
affected by changes in the
18
interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and rules by
these governmental authorities and self-regulatory organizations.
We own no real property. Following our combination with Kanisa,
we changed our corporate headquarters from Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania to Cupertino, California. In Cupertino, we lease
approximately 16,800 square feet of office space pursuant
to a lease that expires in 2007. We also maintain approximately
10,400 square feet of office space in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania. We believe that our current offices are adequate
to support our existing operations. If necessary, however, we
believe that we will be able to obtain suitable additional
facilities on commercially reasonable terms, when needed.

Item 3. |
Legal Proceedings |
In October 2003, we filed suit against Primus Knowledge
Solutions, Inc. (Primus) in the United States
District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania,
alleging that Primus had infringed certain United States patents
owned by us. Primus filed an answer denying liability and
asserting counterclaims against us, including allegations of
interference, defamation and unfair competition. We subsequently
asserted certain reply counterclaims against Primus. We refer to
this action, including the related counterclaims and reply
claims, as the Lawsuit.
On August 10, 2004, Primus announced that it had entered
into a definitive agreement and plan of merger whereby Primus
would be acquired by Art Technology Group, Inc. or ATG.
As of November 1, 2004, we entered into a settlement
agreement with Primus and ATG in which:
|
|
|
|
|
Without any admission of liability by either party, we and
Primus agreed to dismiss with prejudice all the claims,
counterclaims and reply claims in the Lawsuit, and to deliver to
each other mutual general releases. |
|
|
|
We agreed to grant to Primus and its affiliates, including ATG,
a fully paid, irrevocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable (with
certain exceptions specified in the agreement), worldwide,
perpetual limited license under the patents at issue in the
Lawsuit and a covenant not to sue under those patents. |
|
|
|
Primus agreed to pay us the sum of $800,000 in cash and ATG
agreed to guarantee this cash payment obligation. |
|
|
|
Primus agreed to issue to us, immediately prior to the closing
of ATGs acquisition of Primus, shares of Primus common
stock having a value of $850,000 based on ART stock price at the
time of issuance and without taking into account any future
fluctuations in the stock price. Although we agreed to certain
restrictions on transfer of the shares of ATG common stock
issued to us in connection with the acquisition by ATG of
Primus, we sold all of our shares of ATG common stock in first
quarter 2005, for an aggregate gross sales price of $1,018,250. |
In addition to the amounts payable to us under the foregoing
agreement with Primus and ATG, our insurance carrier, agreed to
pay the sum of $575,000 towards our out-of-pocket costs and
expenses associated with the Lawsuit resulting in total cash and
stock settlement proceeds of approximately $2.4 million. In
connection with the Lawsuit, we incurred approximately
$1.1 million in attorneys fees and other
out-of-pocket expenses. Our net settlement proceeds after taking
into consideration the out-of-pocket expenses were approximately
$1,300,000, which was recorded as other income on our financial
statements.
From time to time, we engage in other litigation in the ordinary
course of business. The result of current or future litigation
is inherently unpredictable; however, we do not believe any
asserted or pending litigation will have a material adverse
effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

As of March 24, 2005, there were approximately 400 holders
of record of our common stock. We believe that a substantially
larger number of beneficial owners hold shares of our common
stock in depository or nominee form.
Dividend Policy
We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the
foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain any future
earnings to finance the expansion of our business.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
On February 8, 2005, we completed our combination with
Kanisa Inc. through the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary with
and into Kanisa (the Merger). As a result, Kanisa
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours. Pursuant to the
Merger, the Kanisa stockholders received a total of
3,501,400 shares of our common stock, which represents 40%
of our outstanding stock after the Merger. In addition, we
issued warrants to purchase 423,923 shares of common
stock at an exercise price of $7.20 per share to the Kanisa
stockholders. The warrants will expire in January 2009. The
Kanisa stockholders received shares and warrants based on an
exchange ratio determined in accordance with Kanisas
charter documents. The issuance of shares of our common stock
and warrants in consideration for the Merger are exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the
Act) pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and
Regulation D thereunder. Each Kanisa stockholder who
received our securities is an accredited investor as
that term is defined in Regulation D and the issuance of
the securities met the other requirements of Regulation D.

Item 7. |
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition
and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our
consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Overview
On February 8, 2005, we combined Kanisa Inc. through the
merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of ours with and into
Kanisa. As a result, Kanisa became our wholly owned subsidiary.
Upon the consummation of the merger, we relocated our
headquarters to Kanisas offices in Cupertino, California.
Kanisa was founded in 1997 and has pioneered the use of a
knowledge management platform for customer services
applications. Prior to the merger, Kanisa was a privately held
organization and its technology has resulted in broad industry
recognition and awards for its products and performance.
We are a provider of customer relationship management
(CRM) software applications, specifically applications that
enable customer service organizations to more effectively
resolve service requests and answer questions. Built on
knowledge management and search technologies, our service
resolution management (SRM) applications optimize the
resolution process across multiple service channels, including
contact centers, self-service websites, help desk, email and
chat. Our SRM applications complement, integrate with, and
enhance traditional CRM, contact center, and help desk
applications by providing patented knowledge management
solutions that improve service delivery. Our customers include
some of the largest companies in the world and our products
enable them to reduce operating and service delivery costs,
improve customer satisfaction, and increase revenues.
We are principally engaged in the design, development, marketing
and support of software applications and services. Substantially
all of our revenues are derived from a perpetual license of our
software products, the related professional services and the
related customer support, otherwise known as maintenance. We
license our software in arrangements in which the customer
purchases a combination of software, maintenance and/or
professional services, such as our training and implementation
services. Maintenance, which includes technical support and
product updates, is typically sold with the related software
license and is renewable at the option of the customer on an
annual basis after the first year. Our professional services and
technical support organizations provide a broad range of
implementation services, training, and technical support to our
customers and implementation partners. Our service organization
has significant product and implementation expertise and is
committed to supporting customers and partners throughout every
phase of their adoption and use of our solutions. Substantially
all of our professional service arrangements are billed on a
time and materials basis. Payment terms for our arrangements are
negotiated with our customers and determined based on a variety
of factors, including the customers credit standing and
our history with the customer.
Description of Statement of Operations
We market and sell our products primarily in North America
through our direct sales force and outsourcers. Indirect
revenues generated by outsourcers were 8% of total revenues in
2004 and approximately 2% of total revenues in 2003.
Internationally, we market our products through value-added
resellers, software vendors and system integrators.
International revenues were 9% of total revenues in 2004 and 7%
of total revenues in 2003. We derive our revenues from licenses
for software products and from providing related services,
including installation, training, consulting, customer support
and maintenance contracts. License revenues primarily represent
fees for perpetual licenses. Service revenues contain variable
fees for installation, training and consulting, reimbursements
for travel expenses that are billed to customers, as well as
fixed fees for customer support and maintenance contracts.
22
Cost of license revenues consists primarily of the expenses
related to royalties and amortization of purchased technology.
Cost of service revenues consists of the salaries, benefits,
direct expenses and allocated overhead costs of customer support
and services personnel, reimbursable expenses for travel that
are billed to customers, fees for sub-contractors, and the costs
associated with maintaining our customer support site.
We classify our core operating costs into four general
categories: sales and marketing, research and development,
general and administrative, and intangible assets amortization
based upon the nature of the costs. Special one-time charges,
including restructuring costs, are presented separately as
restructuring and other special charges to enable the reader to
determine core operating costs. We allocate the total costs for
overhead and facilities, based upon headcount, to each of the
functional areas that benefit from these services. Allocated
charges include general overhead items such as building rent,
equipment-leasing costs, telecommunications charges and
depreciation expense. Sales and marketing expenses consist
primarily of employee compensation for direct sales and
marketing personnel, travel, public relations, sales and other
promotional materials, trade shows, advertising and other sales
and marketing programs. Research and development expenses
consist primarily of expenses related to the development and
upgrade of our proprietary software and other technologies.
These expenses include employee compensation for software
developers and quality assurance personnel and third-party
contract development costs. General and administrative expenses
consist primarily of compensation for personnel and fees for
outside professional advisors. Intangible assets amortization
expense consists primarily of the amortization of intangible
assets acquired through our acquisition of the Molloy Group in
1999. These assets (other than goodwill) are amortized on a
straight line basis over their respective estimated useful
lives. Restructuring and other special charges consist of costs
incurred for restructuring plans and other costs related to the
separation of senior executives.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and
results of operations is based upon our consolidated 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
us 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, we evaluate our estimates, including those
related to allowance for doubtful accounts and intangible
assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on
various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical
accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and
estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial
statements.
We recognize revenues on license fees after a non-cancelable
license agreement is signed, the product is delivered, the fee
is fixed or determinable and collectible, and there is
vendor-specific objective evidence to support the allocation of
the total fee to elements of a multiple-element arrangement
using the residual method. We recognize revenues on
installation, training and consulting on a time-and-material
basis. Customer support and maintenance contracts are recognized
over the life of the contract.
Our revenue recognition policy is governed by Statement of
Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue
Recognition, issued by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants (AICPA), as amended by SOP 98-9
Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue
Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions. These
statements provide guidance on applying generally accepted
accounting principles in recognizing revenue on software and
services transactions. In addition, the AICPA and its Software
Revenue Recognition Task Force continue to issue interpretations
and guidance for applying the relevant standards to a wide range
23
of sales contract terms and business arrangements that are
prevalent in the software industry. Also, the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 104 Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements, which provides guidance related to
revenue recognition based on interpretations and practices
followed by the SEC, and the Emerging Issues Task Force of the
Financial Accounting Standards Board continues to issue
additional guidance on revenue recognition. Future
interpretations of existing accounting standards or changes in
our business practices could result in future changes in our
revenue accounting policies that could have a material effect on
our financial condition and results of operations.
We maintain an allowance 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 be required to increase our allowance
of doubtful accounts or to defer revenue until we determine that
collectibility is probable. We perform a quarterly analysis to
determine the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts. This
analysis includes a review of specific individual balances in
our accounts receivable, our history of collections, as well as
the overall economic environment.
|
|
|
Intangible Assets and Goodwill |
Goodwill is assessed for impairment at least annually and as
triggering events occur. In making this assessment, we rely on a
number of factors including operating results, business plans,
economic projections, anticipated future cash flows,
transactions and our current market value. There are inherent
uncertainties related to these factors and managements
judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill
impairment. Since our judgment is involved in performing
goodwill valuation analyses, there is risk that the carrying
value of our goodwill may be misstated. During 2004, we
performed the required impairment tests of goodwill and
indefinite lived intangible assets as of December 31, 2004
and determined that we did not have an impairment loss.
We record valuation allowances to reduce deferred tax assets to
the amount more likely than not to be realized. When assessing
the need for valuation allowances, we consider future taxable
income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax strategies. Should a
change in circumstances lead to a change in judgment about the
reliability of deferred tax assets in future years, we would
adjust the related valuation allowances in the period in which
the change in circumstances occurs, along with a corresponding
increase in or charge to income.
Trends/ Uncertainties that may affect our business and common
stock
On February 8, 2005, we completed our merger with Kanisa, a
pioneer of service resolution management (SRM) software
applications. The transaction will be accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting with us as the acquiror for
accounting purposes.
In pursuing this merger, we determined that combining the
technology, research and development resources, customer
relationships and sales and marketing capabilities of the two
companies could create a stronger and more competitive company,
with the breadth and scale that our market demands. In reaching
the decision to enter into the merger, there were a number of
additional specific reasons why we believe the acquisition will
be beneficial. These potential benefits include the following:
|
|
|
|
|
the belief that the merger will better enable us to satisfy
demand for a single, integrated suite of collaborative support
applications for agent-assisted service, self-service, and
peer-service communities that includes functionality for online
commerce and customer service and covers the full range of
customer interactions ,including call centers, e-mail and the
internet; |
24
|
|
|
|
|
the fact that the two product offerings are largely
complementary, with only limited functional overlap, and utilize
compatible technology; |
|
|
|
the opportunity to increase revenues by combining Kanisa
customers with our customers, and by cross selling each
companys product set to the customers of the other company; |
|
|
|
the belief that enlarging our installed base and adding to our
stream of maintenance and support revenues would benefit our
results of operations; |
|
|
|
the opportunity to achieve expense reduction synergies through
elimination of duplicative functions and expenses; and |
|
|
|
the belief that the combined experience, research and
development resources and sales and marketing capabilities of
the two companies will better enable us to respond quickly and
effectively to rapid changes in technology, customer
requirements and competitive landscape which characterize our
industry. |
Integrating acquired organizations and their products and
services may be expensive, time-consuming and a strain on our
resources and our relationships with employees and customers,
and ultimately may not be successful. Our merger with Kanisa
involves the integration of two companies that previously
operated independently. The difficulties of combining the
operations of the companies include:
|
|
|
|
|
the challenge of effecting integration while carrying on an
ongoing business; |
|
|
|
the necessity of coordinating geographically separate
organizations; |
|
|
|
retaining and integrating personnel with diverse business
backgrounds; |
|
|
|
retaining existing customers and strategic partners of each
company; |
|
|
|
changes in management may impair our relationships with
employees and customers; |
|
|
|
implementing and maintaining consistent standards, controls,
procedures, policies and information systems. |
The process of integrating operations could cause an
interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the activities of our
business and the loss of key personnel. The diversion of
managements attention and any delays or difficulties
encountered in connection with the merger and the integration of
the two operations could have an adverse effect on our business,
results of operations or financial condition. The economies of
scale and operating efficiencies that we expect to result from
the merger may not be realized within the time periods
contemplated or at all.

The above financial information does not include any financial
performance of Kanisa, which will be included in our financial
statements from and after the date of merger on February 8,
2005. Our historical operating results may not be reflective of
future operating results because of the material changes in our
business structure that will result from the merger with Kanisa.
Years Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003
Total revenues increased 8.6% to $12.5 million in 2004 from
$11.5 million in 2003. The increase was due to the momentum
being generated by Hewlett Packards Managed Services
Group, an upswing in services revenues generated by our Solution
Services group, and an increase in our maintenance contract base
as we add customers year over year, many of whom continue to
renew.
License revenues increased 6.3% to $5.2 million in 2004
from $4.9 million in 2003. The increase in license revenues
was due to the momentum being generated by our Hewlett Packard
Managed Services Group, who generated approximately $700,000 in
license revenues in 2004.
Service revenues increased 10.4% to $7.3 million in 2004
from $6.6 million in 2003. The primary reason for the
increase was the increase of our maintenance contract base.
During 2004, our renewal rate remained consistent at
approximately 95%.
26
Cost of revenues increased to $4.8 million in 2004 from
$3.2 million in 2003. Cost of revenues as a percentage of
revenues increased to 38.3% from 27.7%. Cost of license revenues
increased to $0.4 million in 2004 from $0.3 million in
2003. As a percentage of revenues, the cost of license revenues
increased to 3.3% from 2.3%. The increase in the cost of license
revenues was primarily attributable to a increase in product
royalties payable to third parties.
Cost of service revenues increased to $4.4 million in 2004
from $2.9 million in 2003. As a percentage of revenues, the
cost of service revenues increased to 35.0% from 25.4%. The
increase in the cost of service revenues was principally the
result of a 73.3% increase in customer support and services
personnel to a high of 26 in 2004 from an average of 16 in 2003.
In addition, there was an increased use of a third party
contracting firm to support major services efforts.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses
decreased to $4.8 million, or 38.2% of revenues, in 2004
from $5.1 million, or 44.4% of revenues, in 2003. The
decrease is primarily attributable to the closing of our United
Kingdom sales office in July 2003.
Research and Development. Research and development
expenses increased to $2.2 million, or 17.6% of revenues,
in 2004 from $2.0 million, or 17.0% of revenues, in 2003.
The increase is primarily attributable to the use of an
increased number of third party resources for development
purposes.
General and Administrative. General and administrative
expenses increased to $2.4 million, or 19.2% of revenues in
2004 from $2.1 million, or 18.4% of revenues in 2003. The
increase resulted primarily from stock based compensation in the
amount of $241,195 recorded upon the issuance of restricted
stock to executives and warrants issued in a lawsuit settlement
in 2004.
Intangible Assets Amortization. Intangible assets
amortization was $0.1 million or, 1.3% of revenues in 2003.
Intangible assets amortization consisted of the amortization
expense for the intangible assets resulting from our acquisition
of the Molloy Group in 1999. The components of our intangible
assets were fully amortized in 2003. As such, there were no
expenses for intangible asset amortization in 2004.
Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net
consists primarily of interest income received from short-term
investments, interest expense and amortization expense related
to our convertible notes and bank borrowings. Other income
(expense), net decreased to $28,000 of net expense in 2004 from
$2.0 million of net expense in 2003. The decrease was
primarily the result of other income of approximately $1.3
million received in conjunction with the Primus lawsuit
settlement. Offsetting interest expense of approximately
$1.3 million primarily represents amortization of the
beneficial conversion feature, discount and debt issue costs
recognized in conjunction with the issuance of the convertible
notes.
Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002
Total revenues increased 13.3% to $11.5 million in 2003
from $10.2 million in 2002. The increase was primarily
attributable to a 40% increase in revenue recognized per new
contract.
License revenues increased 30.5% to $4.9 million in 2003
from $3.8 million in 2002. The average amount of revenue
recognized per new contract increased to $167,000 in 2003 from
$119,000 in 2002, which was the primary reason for the overall
increase in license revenues.
Service revenues increased 3.1% to $6.6 million in 2003
from $6.4 million in 2002. The primary reason for the
increase was the increase in the average contract price from
2002 to 2003. Although the number of services contracts from
existing customers remained the same from 2002 to 2003, the
average contract price increased from $33,000 in 2002 to $51,000
in 2003.
27
Cost of revenues decreased to $3.2 million in 2003 from
$4.6 million in 2002. Cost of revenues as a percentage of
revenues decreased to 27.7% from 45.6%. Cost of license revenues
decreased to $0.3 million in 2003 from $1.0 million in
2002. As a percentage of revenues, the cost of license revenues
decreased to 2.3% from 9.5%. The decrease in the cost of license
revenues was primarily attributable to a decrease in product
royalties payable to third parties, and a decrease in
amortization of purchased technology.
Cost of service revenues decreased to $2.9 million in 2003
from $3.7 million in 2002. As a percentage of revenues, the
cost of service revenues decreased to 25.4% from 36.1%. The
decrease in the cost of service revenues was principally the
result of an 18.9% decrease in customer support and services
personnel to an average of 16 in 2003 from an average of 19 in
2002. In addition, allocated overhead expenses were
significantly less as a result of an overall reduction in
overhead spending across the board.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses
decreased to $5.1 million, or 44.5% of revenues, in 2003
from $5.4 million, or 52.9% of revenues, in 2002. The
decrease is primarily attributable to the closing of our United
Kingdom sales office in July 2003. In addition, allocated
overhead expenses were significantly less as a result of an
overall reduction in overhead spending across the board.
Research and Development. Research and development
expenses decreased to $2.0 million, or 17.0% of revenues,
in 2003 from $2.9 million, or 28.5% of revenues, in 2002.
The decrease is primarily attributable to the reduced use of a
third party for development as a major product release was
completed and issued in February 2003. The development resources
have been redeployed as services contractors whose cost is now
included in cost of services. In addition, allocated overhead
expenses were significantly less as a result of an overall
reduction in overhead spending across the board.
General and Administrative. General and administrative
expenses decreased to $2.1 million, or 18.4% of revenues in
2003 from $3.0 million, or 29.2% of revenues in 2002. The
decrease resulted primarily from a reduction of depreciation
expense due to a reduction in capital spending as well as a
reduction in legal expense as we hired an in-house counsel in
third quarter 2003. In addition, allocated overhead expenses
were significantly less as a result of an overall reduction in
overhead spending across the board.
Intangible Assets Amortization. Intangible assets
amortization decreased to $0.1 million or 1.3% of revenues
in 2003 from $0.3 million, or 3.4% of revenues in 2002.
Intangible assets amortization consists of the amortization
expense for the intangible assets resulting from our acquisition
of the Molloy Group in 1999. The decrease is primarily due to
components of our intangible assets becoming fully amortized.
Restructuring and other special charges. During 2003,
there were no restructuring or other special charges, but
there was a change in the estimate of a previous accrual in the
amount of $20,000. In 2001, we recognized a restructuring charge
primarily representing excess facilities costs and severance
benefits resulting from reductions in force of approximately 180
employees. A portion of these restructuring charges related to
potential costs for terminating certain real estate leases. In
2002, we reduced this accrual by $0.4 million to reflect
changes in assumptions made for the initial charge.
Additionally, a credit of $0.1 million to restructuring
expense was recorded in 2002 representing a change in the
estimate of termination costs for certain service contracts.
Other special charges in 2002 of $112,000 consisted of the
forgiveness of stockholder loans and a reserve for accrued
interest related to the outstanding stockholder loans.
Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net
consists primarily of interest income received from short-term
investments, interest expense and amortization expense related
to our convertible notes entered into in second quarter 2002 and
bank borrowings. Other expense, net increased to
$2.0 million in 2003 from $1.2 million in 2002. The
increase was primarily the result of increased interest expense
incurred in conjunction with our convertible notes as well as a
decrease in interest earned on investments. The interest expense
primarily represents amortization of the beneficial conversion
feature recognized in conjunction with
28
the issuance and amendment of the convertible notes, in addition
to the 10% interest, amortization of the discount, and debt
issue costs on the convertible notes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, we have satisfied our cash requirements primarily
through private placements of convertible preferred stock and
common stock, our initial public offering, and incurrence of
debt.
As of December 31, 2004, we had $10.9 million in cash
and cash equivalents and investments. As of the date of this
filing we have no debt, other than payables and accruals in the
ordinary course of business. In January 2004, we raised
$7.4 million, net of expenses, from additional issuances of
equity securities to finance our operations and to develop our
business. The additional funding was raised through a private
placement of equity securities consisting of
1,230,769 shares of common stock and five-year warrants to
purchase 615,384 shares of common stock at
$7.20 per share. On February 10, 2004, our convertible
notes were converted into common stock as part of terms of the
equity funding. Our ability to continue as a business in our
present form is largely dependent on our ability to generate
additional revenues, reduce overall operating expenses, and
achieve profitability and positive cash flows. We believe that
we have the ability to do so and plan to fund 2005 operations
through operating revenue and cash balances.
In October 2002, we entered into a loan and security agreement
with Comerica Bank California . The agreement
allowed for a revolving line of credit and a term loan.
Borrowings under the loan agreement were collateralized by
essentially all of our tangible and intangible assets. At
December 31, 2003, we had a $250,000 balance outstanding
under the revolving line of credit. In January 2004, we repaid
the borrowings under the line of credit and the line of credit
was terminated.
We incurred a net loss of $1.7 million for 2004. Over the
past three years, we have taken substantial measures to reduce
our costs and we believe that we have improved our chances of
achieving profitability before non-cash, other special, and
non-recurring charges in 2005. However, our costs are expected
to increase in 2005 as a result of the merger with Kanisa,
including employee severances and transition expenses to be
incurred in connection with the combination of the companies.
Net cash provided by operating activities in 2004 was generated
by reducing our net loss and accounts receivable while
increasing our accruals and other liabilities since our non-cash
expense items exceeded our net loss. Net cash used in operating
activities in 2003 and 2002 was principally the result of our
net losses. The amount of cash used in current operations was
substantially lower during 2003 due to our improved performance.
Net cash used in investing activities in 2004 and 2002 was
primarily attributable to the purchase of short-term
investments. Net cash provided by investing activities in 2003
was primarily attributable to the sale of short-term investments
offset by property and equipment acquisitions.
Net cash provided by financing activities in 2004 was primarily
due to the proceeds from the equity funding reduced by the
repayment of a borrowing under our revolving line of credit,
which is now terminated. Net cash used in financing activities
in 2003 was primarily due to the repayment of borrowings under
our revolving line of credit. Net cash provided by financing
activities in 2002 was primarily from the proceeds received upon
issuance of our convertible notes and borrowings under our
revolving line of credit.
There can be no assurance that additional capital will be
available to us on reasonable terms, if at all, when needed or
desired. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of
equity, equity-related or debt securities, such securities may
have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the
rights of our common stock. Furthermore, our stockholders may
suffer significant additional dilution. Further, the issuance of
debt securities could increase the risk or perceived risk of our
company.
Contractual Obligations
As of December 31, 2004, we are obligated to make cash
payments in connection with our capital leases, debt and
operating leases. The effect of these obligations and
commitments on our liquidity and cash flows in
29
future periods are listed below. All of these arrangements
require cash payments over varying periods of time. Some of
these arrangements are cancelable on short notice and others
require termination or severance payments as part of any early
termination. Included in the table below are our contractual
obligations as of December 31, 2004:

The above table as of December 31, 2004, does not include
any obligations or commitments of Kanisa, which we have assumed
upon the merger consummated in February 2005.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no material off-balance sheet debt or other unrecorded
obligations other than the items noted in the above table.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued FASB Interpretations No. 46
(FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research
Bulletin No. 51. FIN 46 requires certain variable
interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary
of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have
the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do
not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its
activities without additional subordinated financial support
from other parties. FIN 46 is effective for all new
variable interest entities created or acquired after
January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or
acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of
FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual
period beginning after December 15, 2003. We do not have
any variable interest entities.
The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached final
consensuses on Issue 03-6 Participating Securities and
the Two Class Method Under FASB Statement
No. 128, Earnings Per Share in March 2004.
Issue 03-6 addresses a number of questions regarding the
computation of earnings per share (EPS) by companies
that have issued securities other than common stock that
contractually entitle the holder to participate in dividends and
earnings of the company when, and if, it declares dividends on
its common stock. The issue also provides further guidance in
applying the two-class method of calculating EPS. It clarifies
what constitutes a participating security and how to apply the
two-class method of computing EPS once it is determined that a
security is participating, including how to allocate
undistributed earnings to such a security. We adopted
EITF 03-6 during the second quarter of 2004. The adoption
of EITF 03-6 has had no impact on our results of operations.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R)
Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)),
a revision to SFAS 123. SFAS 123R addresses all forms
of share-based payment (SBP) awards, including
shares issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, stock
options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock
appreciation rights. SFAS 123R will require us to record
compensation expense for SBP awards based on the fair value of
the SBP awards. Under SFAS 123R, restricted stock and
restricted stock units will generally be valued by reference to
the market value of freely tradable shares of our common stock.
Stock options, stock appreciation rights and shares issued under
the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will generally be valued at
fair value determined through an option valuation model, such as
a lattice model or the Black-Scholes model (the model that we
currently use for our footnote disclosure). SFAS 123R is
effective for interim and annual periods beginning after
June 15, 2005 and, accordingly, we must adopt the new
accounting provisions effective July 1, 2005.

Under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution investors that
statements contained in this report regarding our intentions,
hopes, beliefs, expectations or predictions of the future are
forward-looking statements. We caution you that these
forward-looking statements are not historical facts and are only
estimates or predictions. Actual results may differ materially
from those anticipated as a result of risks and uncertainties
including, but not limited to, risks related to revenue
expectations, our software strategy, fluctuations in customer
demand, performance of outside distributors and resellers, use
of the Web as a delivery vehicle for customer support solutions,
risks resulting from new product introductions, integration of
acquired products with current offerings, and customer
acceptance of new products, rapid technological change, risks
associated with competition, continued growth in the use of the
Internet, our ability to retain and increase revenue from
existing customers and to execute agreements with new customers,
unforeseen expenses, our ability to attract and retain qualified
personnel and to secure necessary financing for our operations
and business development, and other market conditions and risks
detailed from time to time in our Securities and Exchange
Commission filings. We undertake no obligation to update
publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
future events, new information, or otherwise.

Item 7A. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk |
Nearly all of our revenues recognized to date have been
denominated in United States dollars and are primarily from
customers in the United States. We have a European distributor
located in London, England. Revenues from international clients
were 9% percent in 2004 and 7% in 2003. In the future, a portion
of the revenues we derive from international operations may be
denominated in foreign currencies. Furthermore, to the extent we
engage in international sales denominated in United States
dollars, an increase in the value of the United States dollar
relative to foreign currencies could make our services less
competitive in international markets. Although currency
fluctuations are currently not a material risk to our operating
results, we will continue to monitor our exposure to currency
fluctuations and when appropriate, consider the use of financial
hedging techniques to minimize the effect of these fluctuations
in the future. Exchange rate fluctuations could potentially harm
our business in the future. We do not currently utilize any
derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity
instruments.
Our interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level
of United States interest rates, particularly because the
majority of our investments are in short-term instruments. Since
we do not currently have any debt, we are not subject to
material interest rate risk at this time.
Our current investment policy permits investment of temporarily
idle funds with commercial banks, investment banks, savings and
loan associations, securities dealers, and in money market
mutual funds. We believe that default risk is minimized by
investing only in securities rated A or better and by
diversifying the portfolio. Market risk is minimized by ensuring
that the cash flows of the portfolio securities are reasonably
and conservatively matched to anticipate cash requirements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of ServiceWare Technologies, Inc.:
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and
the related consolidated statements of operations, of
stockholders equity, and of cash flows present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of ServiceWare
Technologies, Inc. at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

Note 2. |
Significant Accounting Policies |
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries after elimination
of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions. In
July 2003, the Company closed its subsidiary in the United
Kingdom.
Revenue Recognition
The Companys revenue recognition policy is governed by
Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue
Recognition, issued by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants (AICPA), as amended by SOP 98-9
Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue
Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions. The
Company derives its revenues from licenses for its products sold
directly to end-users and indirectly through distributors as
well as from providing related services, including installation
and training, consulting, customer support and maintenance
contracts. Revenues are recognized only if persuasive evidence
of an agreement exists, delivery has occurred, all significant
vendor obligations are satisfied, the fee is fixed or
determinable, and collection of the amount due from the customer
is deemed probable. Additionally, in sales contracts that have
multi-element arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue using
the residual method.
38
ServiceWare Technologies, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
The total fair value of the undelivered elements as indicated by
vendor-specific objective evidence (price charged when the
undelivered element is sold individually) is deferred and the
difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount
deferred for the undelivered elements is recognized as revenue
related to the delivered elements. Additional revenue
recognition criteria by revenue type are listed below.
Licenses revenues include fees for perpetual and annual
licenses. The Company recognizes revenues on perpetual license
fees after a non-cancelable license agreement has been signed,
the product has been delivered, the fee is fixed or determinable
and collectible, and there is vendor-specific objective evidence
to support the allocation of the total fee to elements of a
multiple-element arrangement. Revenue for annual licenses and
software lease licenses is recognized ratably over the period of
the contract.
Services revenues are derived from variable fees for
installation, training, consulting and building customized
knowledge bases as well as from fixed fees for customer support
and maintenance contracts.
Maintenance and support revenues are derived from the sale of
maintenance and support contracts, which provide end-users with
the right to receive maintenance releases of the licensed
products, access to the support website and access to the
customer support staff. Maintenance and support revenues are
recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the
contract. Payments for maintenance and support revenues are
normally received in advance and are nonrefundable.
Revenues for installation and training, implementation and
system integration projects, and consulting services are
recognized as the services are performed.
Cost of revenues
Cost of licenses revenues consists primarily of the expenses
related to royalties and amortization of purchased technology.
Cost of services revenues consists of direct and indirect costs
related to service revenues which primarily include salaries,
benefits, direct expenses and allocated overhead costs related
to the customer support and services personnel, fees for
subcontractors and the cost associated with maintaining the
Companys customer support site.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and interest-bearing
money market deposits with financial institutions having
original maturities of thirty days or less. Cash equivalents are
stated at cost, which approximates market value. The amounts
held by major financial institutions may exceed the amount of
insurance provided on such deposits. These deposits may
generally be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, subject the
Company to minimal risk.
Restricted Cash
The Company has included $61,000 of restricted cash in other
non-current assets. The restricted cash is held as a deposit for
the Companys Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania office lease.
Marketable securities, available for sale
The Company considers all marketable securities as
available-for-sale. Accordingly, these securities are carried at
fair value and unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the
related tax effect, are excluded from
39
ServiceWare Technologies, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
earnings and are reported as a separate component of other
comprehensive income (loss) until realized. Realized gains and
losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are
determined on a specific identification basis. The securities
consist of corporate bonds, government bonds, auction rate
preferred securities and common stock.
The majority of the Companys investments are held in an
account with an investment firm of which a Director of the
Company is an affiliate. Refer to Note 16.
Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoice amount and
do not bear interest. The Company provides credit to its
customers in the normal course of business, performs ongoing
credit evaluations of its customers and maintains reserves for
potential credit losses. The allowance for doubtful accounts
related to trade receivables is determined based on an
evaluation of specific accounts, which evaluation is conducted
when information is available indicating that a customer may not
be able to meet its financial obligations. Judgments are made in
these specific cases based on available facts and circumstances,
and a specific reserve for that customer may be recorded to
reduce the receivable to the amount that is expected to be
collected. These specific reserves are re-evaluated and adjusted
as additional information is received that impacts the amount
reserved. The collectibility of trade receivables could be
significantly reduced if default rates are greater than expected
or if an unexpected material adverse change occurs in a major
customers ability to meet its financial obligations.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets. Computer equipment is
amortized over two years, computer software over three years,
and furniture and office equipment over five years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the lesser of their useful lives
or the remaining term of the lease. Amortization of assets
recorded under capital leases is included in depreciation
expense. Capital leases, which are for office equipment, are
amortized over the term of the lease. Upon disposal, assets and
related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
Companys accounts and the resulting gains or losses are
reflected in the consolidated statement of operations.
Impairment of long-lived assets
All long-lived assets were tested for impairment of carrying
value as of December 31, 2004 using assumptions and
techniques employed in the original valuations and following the
guidance of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Specifically,
the sum of the projected future cash flows to be derived from
assets with definite lives was compared with the net book
carrying value. These tests indicated that none of the
long-lived assets had impairment in carrying value. The Company
will retest these assets annually as of December 31 or more
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that
assets might be impaired.
Internal Use Computer Software
The Company applies AICPA Statement of Position No. 98-1
Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or
Obtained for Internal Use (SOP No. 98-1).
Accordingly, the Company capitalizes internal and external costs
related to software and implementation services in connection
with its internal use software systems.
40
ServiceWare Technologies, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Intangible assets and goodwill consists of technology purchased
from InfoImage in August 2002 and customer list and goodwill,
which resulted primarily from the acquisition of the Molloy
Group in July 1999.
On an ongoing basis, when there are indicators of impairment
such as declining revenues or recurring losses, the Company
evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets, including
identifiable intangible asset resulting from business
acquisitions. If such indicators are apparent, the Company
compares the carrying value of the assets to the estimated
future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the
businesses acquired over the remaining life of the assets. If
the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of
the assets, the cash flows will be discounted to present value
and the assets will be reduced to this amount. There was no
impairment for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and
2002.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets effective January 1, 2002, and
ceased amortization of goodwill and concluded that a
transitional impairment adjustment was not necessary.
SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible
assets deemed to have an indefinite useful life be reviewed for
impairment upon adoption of SFAS No. 142 and, at a
minimum, annually thereafter. Under SFAS No. 142,
goodwill impairment is deemed to exist if the net book value of
a reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value. The Company
performed an impairment review in 2004, 2003 and 2002 and
concluded that no impairment loss was necessary.
Concentration of Credit Risk/ Major Customers
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a
concentration of credit risk principally consist of accounts
receivable. The Company sells its products to end-users
directly, and the Companys customer base is dispersed
across many different geographic areas primarily throughout
North America and parts of Europe. The Company believes it
maintains adequate reserves for potential credit losses and to
date, such losses have been minimal and within managements
estimates.
In 2004, two customers accounted for 12% and 9% of total
licenses and services revenues, excluding maintenance, and 0%
and 8% of total trade accounts receivable at December 31,
2004. In 2003, two customers accounted for 12% and 7% of total
revenues and 3% and 28% of total accounts receivable at
December 31, 2003. In 2002, two customers accounted for a
total of 11% and 8% of total revenues.
Capitalized Software
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86,
Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold,
Leased or Otherwise Marketed, requires capitalization of
certain software development costs subsequent to the
establishment of technological feasibility. Software development
costs are capitalized beginning when a products
technological feasibility has been established and ending when a
product is available for general release to customers provided
recoverability is reasonably assured. The Company follows the
working model approach, whereby technological
feasibility is established at the time the Company has a beta
customer. The Company releases updated products periodically
soon after technological feasibility has been established for
new enhancements. For 2004, 2003, and 2002, costs which were
eligible for capitalization were insignificant and, thus, the
Company has charged its software development costs to research
and development expense in the accompanying statements of
operations with the exception of the technology acquired from
InfoImage in August 2002 whereby $100,000 was capitalized. These
amounts are classified as purchased technology and are being
amortized on a straight-line basis over two to three years.

ServiceWare Technologies, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
Advertising Costs
Advertising and sales promotions are charged to expense during
the period in which they are incurred. Total advertising and
sales promotions expense for the years ended December 31,
2004, 2003, and 2002 were approximately $157,000, $119,000, and
$207,000, respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Companys foreign subsidiary
was the local currency in the country in which the subsidiary
was located. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies were translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange
rate in effect on the last day of the month of the balance sheet
date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rates.
Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing
exchange rates from period to period are included as a component
of other comprehensive loss. Gains and losses from foreign
currency transactions are included in other income (expense),
net for the periods presented. In July 2003, the Company closed
its European subsidiary.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company has adopted the disclosure only provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
(SFAS No. 123). SFAS No. 123, as
amended by SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation Transition and Disclosure,
permits the Company to continue accounting for stock-based
compensation as set forth in Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees (APB Opinion No. 25), provided
the Company discloses the pro forma effect on net income and
earnings per share of adopting the full provisions of
SFAS No. 123. Accordingly, the Company continues to
account for stock-based compensation under APB Opinion
No. 25. Refer to Note 9.
The following proforma disclosure presents the Companys
net loss and loss per share had compensation cost for the
Companys stock option plans been determined based upon the
fair value at the grant date for awards under these plans
consistent with the methodology prescribed under SFAS 123.

Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
The effects of applying SFAS 123 in this pro forma
disclosure are not likely to be representative of the effects on
reported net income for future years. SFAS 123 does not
apply to awards prior to 1995 and additional awards in future
years are anticipated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Companys financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts
of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Net Loss Per Share
In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per
Share, basic and dilutive net loss per share has been
computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the period. All potentially dilutive
securities have not been included in the calculation of net loss
per share due to their anti-dilutive effect.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of net unrealized
gains from securities available-for-sale in 2004 and foreign
currency translation adjustments in 2003 and 2002.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued FASB Interpretations No. 46
(FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research
Bulletin No. 51. FIN 46 requires certain variable
interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary
of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have
the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do
not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its
activities without additional subordinated financial support
from other parties. FIN 46 is effective for all new
variable interest entities created or acquired after
January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or
acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of
FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual
period beginning after December 15, 2003. The Company does
not have any variable interest entities.
The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached final
consensuses on Issue 03-6 Participating Securities and
the Two Class Method Under FASB Statement
No. 128, Earnings Per Share in
March , 2004. Issue 03-6
addresses a number of questions regarding the computation of
earnings per share (EPS) by companies that have
issued securities other than common stock that contractually
entitle the holder to participate in dividends and earnings of
the company when, and if, it declares dividends on its common
stock. The issue also provides further guidance in applying the
two-class method of calculating EPS. It clarifies what
constitutes a participating security and how to apply the
two-class method of computing EPS once it is determined that a
security is participating, including how to allocate
undistributed earnings to such a security. The Company adopted
EITF 03-6 during the six month period ended June 30,
2004. The adoption of EITF 03-6 has had no impact on the
Companys results of operations.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R)
Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)),
a revision to SFAS 123. SFAS 123R addresses all forms
of share-based payment (SBP) awards, including
shares issued under the Purchase Plan, stock options, restricted
stock, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights.
SFAS 123R will require the Company to record compensation
expense for SBP awards based on the fair value of the SBP
awards. Under SFAS 123R, restricted stock and restricted
stock units will generally be valued by reference to the market
value of freely tradable shares of the Companys common
43
ServiceWare Technologies, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
stock. Stock options, stock appreciation rights and shares
issued under the Purchase Plan will generally be valued at fair
value determined through an option valuation model, such as a
lattice model or the Black-Scholes model (the model that the
Company currently uses for its footnote disclosure).
SFAS 123R is effective for interim and annual periods
beginning after June 15, 2005 and, accordingly, the Company
must adopt the new accounting provisions effective July 1,
2005.

Amortization expense was $33,337 and $50,004 for 2004 and 2003,
respectively.
Credit Facilities
In October 2002, the Company entered into a $2.5 million
loan and security agreement with Comerica Bank
California (the Bank). The agreement provided for a
revolving line of credit and a term loan. The term loan expired
on October 16, 2003. Borrowings under the line of credit
accrued interest at the Banks prime rate plus 1.5%, which
was 5.5% at December 31, 2003. Borrowings under the loan
agreement were collateralized by essentially all of the
Companys tangible and intangible assets. At
December 31, 2003, the Company had outstanding borrowings
of $250,000 under the revolving line of credit, which were
repaid in January 2004, and the agreement terminated. In
conjunction with this agreement, a warrant was issued to the
Bank to purchase 5,000 shares of the Companys
Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.60 per share with a
10-year term. The warrant includes assignability to the
Banks affiliates, antidilution protection and a net
exercise provision. In addition, the Bank could have required
the Company to repurchase the warrant for $69,000 after a change
of control. The warrant is treated as consideration for the
agreement and was valued at $22,990 on the date of the issuance
using the Black Scholes option valuation model. As such, the
warrant value was recorded as a debt issue cost and was
amortized to interest expense over the life of the agreement. As
the warrant contains a put option, the warrant value was accrued
as a liability and not recorded as equity. The Bank exercised
the warrant for no consideration in March 2004 and was issued
2,125 shares of common stock.
Convertible Notes
On April 1, 2002, the Company signed a binding commitment
letter for the sale of convertible notes. The closing of the
transaction took place in two tranches on May 6 and
June 19, 2002 with total proceeds of $2,975,000 being
received, net of transaction costs of $275,000.
Of the total amount of $3,250,000 of convertible notes issued,
convertible notes with an aggregate principal amount of
$2,635,000 were acquired by a director of the Company and his
affiliated entities, who collectively owned approximately 20% of
the Companys stock prior to the acquisition of convertible
notes.
The convertible notes were originally to mature 18 months
from the closing date, bore interest at 10% per annum, and
were originally convertible at any time at the option of the
holder, into shares of the Companys common stock at a
conversion price of $3.00 per share. Interest was payable
in cash or additional convertible notes, at the option of the
Company. The convertible notes were senior unsecured obligations
that ranked senior to all future subordinated indebtedness, pari
passu to all existing and future senior, unsecured
45

indebtedness and subordinated to all existing and future senior
secured indebtedness. While the notes were outstanding, the
Company was restricted from paying or declaring dividends on
common stock, making any other distribution on common stock, or
repurchasing or redeeming any shares of common stock.
In accordance with EITF 00-27, Application of EITF
Issue No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities
with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable
Conversion Ratios, to Certain Convertible
Instruments, the Company recognized in 2002 a beneficial
conversion feature (BCF) in the aggregate amount of
$2,225,000 as the difference between the market value of the
Companys common stock on the commitment date and the
conversion price of the convertible notes, reduced for the
investors transaction costs. The BCF was recorded as an
increase in additional paid in capital and a discount on debt in
the accompanying 2002 consolidated balance sheet. Additionally,
the Company incurred total legal and other expenses of
approximately $54,000 related to the transaction, which was also
recorded as a discount on debt. The aggregate discount was being
amortized as interest expense over the 18 month term of the
convertible notes.
On March 31, 2003, the noteholders agreed to an amendment
to the original notes. The amendment reduced the conversion
price from $3.00 per share to $2.50 per share and
extended the term of the notes until July 15, 2004.
On October 31, 2003, April 30, 2003 and
October 31, 2002, interest payments were due on the
convertible notes and were paid by issuing additional
convertible notes in the amounts of $177,748, $169,284 and
$135,681, respectively. These additional convertible notes had
the same terms as the amended convertible notes. The Company
recognized additional BCF of $232,672 and $906,799 in 2004 and
2003, respectively, as a result of the amendment of the notes
and payment of interest with additional convertible notes.
On February 10, 2004, the notes were converted into common
stock as part of the terms of an equity funding as discussed in
Note 8. Additional interest of $105,760 was paid in shares
of stock in connection with the conversion.

Restructuring and Other Special Charges |
In 2001, the Company implemented strategic restructurings to
reduce its cost structure and focus on revenue growth
opportunities in the knowledge management software market. The
restructuring included severance and other benefit costs, costs
for reduction and relocation of facilities, termination costs
for certain service contracts and an equipment write off. As
part of the restructuring plan, 180 employees were laid off in
2001.
A portion of the restructuring charge related to potential costs
for terminating certain real estate leases at the Companys
corporate headquarters then located in Oakmont, Pennsylvania, in
addition to amounts related to unused capacity within the
building. In 2002, the Company decided not to terminate the
lease on the property as anticipated and accordingly reversed
approximately $302,000 in exit reserves. Furthermore, a change
in the estimate of the termination costs for certain service
contracts resulted in a reduction to the restructuring expense
of $99,000 in 2002.

the Companys Certificate of Incorporation to effect a
reverse stock split of its common stock and to grant its board
of directors the authority until June 30, 2006 to set the
ratio for the reverse split or to not complete the reverse
split. The board granted authority to effect a 1 for 10 reverse
stock split, which was effective February 4, 2005. The
split is reflected in all share and per share information found
throughout the consolidated financial statements. In addition,
on February 4, 2005, the number of authorized shares of

Stock offering
On January 30, 2004, the Company secured an additional
$7.5 million, net of expenses, in funding to finance its
operations and the development of its business. The additional

and five-year warrants to purchase 615,384 shares of
common stock at $7.20 per share.
On February 10, 2004, the Companys convertible notes
were converted into common stock as part of the terms of the
equity funding.

Note 9. |
Stock Option Plan |
Effective April 2000, the Companys Board of Directors
approved the ServiceWare Technologies, Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive
Plan (the Plan) which amended and restated the 1996
ServiceWare, Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (the
1996 Plan). The Plan is administered by the Board of
Directors and provides for awards of stock options to employees,
officers, directors, consultants and advisors. A total of
875,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock plus any
shares of Common Stock previously reserved for stock options
granted under the 1996 Plan which are forfeited prior to
exercise may be issued pursuant to the Plan. Management and the
Board of Directors determined the exercise price of incentive
stock options for the period from April 2000 through the
Companys initial public offering in August 2000
(IPO). After the IPO, the exercise price of
incentive stock options is the closing market price of the
Companys Common Stock on the date of the grant. The Board
of Directors also determines the exercise price of nonqualified
options. Options generally vest over a two-year period in equal
annual amounts, or over such other period as the Board of
Directors determines, and may be accelerated in the event of
certain transactions such as merger or sale of the Company.
These options expire within ten years after the date of grant.
During 2004, the Company recorded $136,270 in stock based
compensation expenses related to restricted stock grants to
executives and granting options at less than market price.

On August 28, 2002, the Company offered its full-time and
part-time employees and non-employee directors the opportunity
to exchange their outstanding stock options for an equal number
of new options (adjusted for a reverse stock split or similar
event, should this happen) to be granted on the first business
day that was at least six months plus one day after the
expiration of the offer. The offer expired September 30,
2002, and options for 43,646 shares of common stock were
tendered. New options for 43,646 shares of common stock
were granted on March 31, 2003 to those participants who
were employed by the Company on both the date this offer expired
and the date that the new options were granted.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In May 2000, the Company adopted the Employee Stock Purchase
Plan (ESPP). Under the terms of the ESPP, the Company is
authorized to issue up to 50,000 shares of common stock,
plus annual increases, as defined by the plan document. The ESPP
enables employees to purchase shares of the Companys
common stock at a discounted price through after-tax payroll
deductions. Shares are offered to employees in six month
offering periods. Eligible employees elect to have deducted from
1% to 15% of their base compensation. The amounts deducted can
be used to purchase the Companys common stock at the
lesser of 85% of the fair value on the first day of the offering
period or 85% of the fair value on last day of the offering
period (purchase date). At December 31, 2004,
48,302 shares remained available for purchase under the
plan.

In October 2003, the Company filed suit against Primus Knowledge
Solutions, Inc. (Primus) in the United States
District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania,
alleging that Primus had infringed certain United States patents
owned by the Company. Primus filed an answer denying liability
and asserting counterclaims against the Company, including
allegations of interference, defamation and unfair competition.
The Company subsequently asserted certain reply counterclaims
against Primus. This action, including the related counterclaims
and reply claims, is referred to as the Lawsuit.
On August 10, 2004, Primus announced that it had entered
into a definitive agreement and plan of merger whereby Primus
would be acquired by Art Technology Group, Inc.
(ATG).
As of November 1, 2004, the Company entered into a
settlement agreement with Primus and ATG in which:
|
|
|
|
|
Without any admission of liability by either party, the Company
and Primus agreed to dismiss with prejudice all the claims,
counterclaims and reply claims in the Lawsuit and to deliver to
each other mutual general releases. |
|
|
|
The Company agreed to grant to Primus and its affiliates,
including ATG, a fully paid, irrevocable, nonexclusive,
nontransferable (with certain exceptions specified in the
agreement), worldwide, perpetual limited license under the
patents at issue in the Lawsuit and a covenant not to sue under
those patents. |
|
|

the Company in connection with the acquisition by ATG of Primus,
the Company sold all of its shares of ATG common stock in first
quarter 2005, for an aggregate gross sales price of $1,018,250. |
In addition to the amounts payable under the foregoing agreement
with Primus and ATG, the Companys insurance carrier,
agreed to pay the sum of $575,000 towards the Companys
out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with the Lawsuit
resulting in total cash and stock settlement proceeds of
approximately $2.4 million. In connection with the Lawsuit,
the Company incurred approximately $1.1 million in
attorneys fees and related expenses. The Companys
net settlement proceeds after taking into consideration these
expenses were approximately $1,300,000, which was recorded as
other income on the Companys financial statements.
On January 16, 2004, the Company entered into a release
agreement with its prior landlord, Sibro Enterprises, LP
(Sibro), for the Companys corporate
headquarters then in Oakmont, Pennsylvania, pursuant to which
the Company settled all outstanding disputes under the lawsuit
Sibro had filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny
County, Pennsylvania. Pursuant to the release agreement, the
Company paid Sibro Enterprises an agreed upon amount
representing rent due through December 31, 2003, which was
recorded in its 2003 consolidated financial statements and
issued Sibro Enterprises a warrant to
purchase 12,500 shares of common stock at a purchase
price of $8.40 per share. In exchange, the parties mutually
agreed to terminate the lease as of December 31, 2003,
dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice, and release each other from
any and all claims as of the date of the release agreement.

Subsequent Events |
On February 8, 2005, the Company, Kanisa Inc.
(Kanisa) and a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company (Merger Sub) entered into an Amended and
Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (Amended Merger
Agreement), which revised the Agreement and Plan of Merger
entered into by the parties on December 22, 2004. The
Amended Merger Agreement provides for the merger of Merger Sub
with and into Kanisa with Kanisa surviving as a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company (the Merger). The Merger
closed simultaneously with the execution of the Amended Merger
Agreement. Upon the consummation of the Merger, the
Companys headquarters are now located in Cupertino,
California. In pursuing this merger, the Company determined that
combining the technology, research and development resources,
customer relationships and sales and marketing capabilities of
the two companies could create a stronger and more competitive
company, with the breadth and scale that the market demands.
Pursuant to the Merger, the Kanisa stockholders received a total
of 3,501,400 shares of the common stock of the Company,
which represents 40% of its outstanding stock after the Merger.
In addition, the Company issued warrants to
purchase 423,923 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $7.20 per share to the Kanisa stockholders. The
warrants will expire in January 2009. On February 8, 2005,
the price of the Companys common stock was $5.00.
The Merger with Kanisa will be accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting and accordingly, the purchase price will be
allocated to the assets acquired, principally intangible assets
based on their estimated fair values at the date of the
acquisition. The Company is performing a valuation of the
intangible assets; however, the valuation has not yet been
finalized. The Company believes that goodwill will be recorded
as a result of the transaction.
The operating results of Kanisa will be included in the
Companys results of operations from the date of
acquisition.

Compensation of Directors
Our directors do not receive any cash compensation for their
services as directors, but we reimburse directors for reasonable
and necessary expenses incurred in connection with attendance at
meetings of our board of directors and other company business.
In June, 2004, pursuant to our 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, we
granted to each of our outside directors options to
purchase 22,500 shares of our common stock. The
exercise price of these options is $5.40 per share, and
one-half of the options vest on each of June 21, 2005 and
2006.
From time to time, members of our board of directors have
previously been granted options to purchase shares of our common
stock. See Security Ownership of Management and Certain
Beneficial Owners for disclosure of vested options held by

Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions |
We entered into a note purchase agreement on May 6, 2002
with C. E. Unterberg, Towbin Private Equity Partners II-Q,
L.P., C. E. Unterberg, Towbin Private Equity Partners II,
L.P., certain other entities affiliated with Mr. Unterberg,
a member of our board of directors, and other investors pursuant
to which we agreed to issue and sell to those investors
10% convertible promissory notes for an aggregate principal
amount of $3,000,000. On June 19, 2002, we amended the note
purchase agreement to increase the amount of convertible notes
issuable to $3,250,000. Of the $3,250,000 of convertible notes
issued, convertible notes with an aggregate principal amount of
$2,635,000 were acquired by Mr. Unterberg and entities
affiliated with him, who collectively owned approximately 20% of
our stock prior to the acquisition of convertible notes. The
note purchase agreement provided for a maturity date of
18 months from the closing date, interest at 10% per
annum, and a conversion price of $3.00 per share. In March
2003, our convertible notes were amended to extend the maturity
date to July 15, 2004 and to reduce the conversion price to
$2.50 per share. Interest could be paid in cash or
additional convertible notes, at our option. On October 31,
2002, April 30, 2003 and October 31, 2003, we issued
additional convertible notes in payment of interest due on those
dates. The convertible notes were senior unsecured obligations
that ranked senior to all future subordinated indebtedness, pari
passu to all existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness
and subordinate to all existing and future senior secured
indebtedness. All of the convertible notes were converted into
common stock in February 2004.
In January 2004, C.E. Unterberg, Towbin, LLC served as one of
the placement agents for us in connection with our private
placement of an aggregate of 1,230,769 shares of common
stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of
615,384 shares of common stock. In connection with the
private placement, C.E. Unterberg, Towbin, LLC received a
placement fee of $240,000. Affiliates of C.E. Unterberg, Towbin,
LLC purchased $455,000 of units in the private placement. In
addition, entities with respect to which Thomas Unterberg has or
shares voting power purchased $162,500 of units in the private
placement.
In February 2005, C.E. Unterberg, Towbin, LLC received a fee of
$350,000 in consideration for services rendered to us in
connection with the merger with Kanisa.

65
The aggregate fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for

The fees in 2004 were attributable to S-1 filings.
No fees were billed for tax compliance, tax advice and tax
planning rendered by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP during 2004 or
2003.
There were no non-audit services rendered by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in 2004 or 2003.
All non-audit services require an engagement letter to be signed
prior to commencing any services. The engagement letter must
detail the fee estimates and the scope of services to be
provided. The current policy of our audit committee is that the
audit committee must be informed of the non-audit services in
advance of the engagement and the audit committees
responsibilities in this regard may not be delegated to
management.
