NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
 
1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Click Commerce, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company”) and reflect all adjustments (which are normal and recurring in nature) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2002. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and other documents that have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to 2002 presentation.
 
2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Revenue and Cost Recognition
 
The Company recognizes product license revenue from licensing the rights to use its software. To-date substantially all product licenses have been on a perpetual basis. The Company generates service revenues from integrating its software, performing needs analyses for customers and through the sale of maintenance and training services. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 97-2 “Software Revenue Recognition” as amended by SOP 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, with Respect to Certain Transactions.” For those contracts that either do not contain a services component or that have services which are not essential to the functionality of any other element of the contract, software license revenue is recognized upon shipment of the Company’s software provided that the fee is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and collection of the resulting receivable is considered probable. Revenue from service contracts is typically recognized as the services are performed. The revenue to be recognized from multiple-element software contracts is based on the fair value of each element. The Company records deferred revenue on software contracts for which it has billed or collected amounts, but for which the requirements for revenue recognition have not been met.
 
Revenue from contracts in which the Company’s services are essential to the functionality of the other elements of the contract is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method under contract accounting as services are performed or output milestones are reached, as the Company delivers, customizes and installs the software. The percentage completed is measured either by the percentage of labor hours incurred to date in relation to estimated total labor hours or in consideration of achievement of certain output milestones, depending on the specific nature of each contract. For arrangements in which percentage-of-completion accounting is used, the Company records cash receipts from customers and billed amounts due from customers in excess of recognized revenue as billings in excess of revenues earned on contracts in progress. The timing and amount of cash receipts from customers can vary significantly depending on specific contract terms and can therefore have a significant impact on the amount of billings in excess of revenues earned on contracts in progress at the end of any given period.

6


Table of Contents
 
Revenue from contracts recognized under the percentage-of-completion method are presented as product revenue to the extent that the underlying milestones are related to software deliveries. To the extent that hours of input are used as the basis for percentage completed or that contract milestones relate to software customization or other professional services, revenues are presented as service revenues.
 
Maintenance service is sold separately under contracts that are renewable annually and is provided only to customers who purchase maintenance. The Company recognizes maintenance service revenue ratably over the contract period, generally one year. Maintenance fees are generally billed annually in advance and are recorded as deferred revenue. As part of the sales process, the Company may perform a needs analysis for the potential customer on a fixed fee basis. Revenue from needs analyses is recognized as the work is performed. Training revenue is recognized as the services are provided.
 
Cost of product license revenue includes production and shipping expenses which are expensed as incurred, as well as costs of licensing third party software incorporated into the Company’s products. These third party license costs are expensed as the products are delivered. Cost of service revenue includes salaries and related expenses for professional services and technical support personnel who provide development, customization and installation services to customers, as well as an allocation of data processing and overhead costs, which are expensed as incurred.
 
Reimbursement of Out-of-Pocket Expenses
 
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 01-14, which addresses income statement characterization of reimbursements received for “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred. This EITF requires entities to characterize the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses from their customers as revenue, rather than as a reduction of the related expense in the income statement in certain circumstances. Comparative financial statements for prior periods must conform to this presentation. Although adoption of this EITF Issue effects income statement presentation, it does not impact the Company’s earnings or earnings per share. The Company has classified out-of-pocket expenses billed to its customers as service revenue. The current and prior year effect on gross margin percentage was not significant.
 
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments
 
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents in excess of minimum required account balances are invested primarily in money market mutual funds. The remainder of these funds are invested through a sweep arrangement in overnight Euro funds or other similar investments. The Company’s short-term investments are invested in a short-term highly-liquid bond fund. The Company may, at its discretion, withdraw some or all of the funds from this account on a daily basis. The fund is comprised primarily of corporate and other bonds that have average maturities of approximately three years and average durations of just over one year.
 
Reverse Stock Split
 
On September 4, 2002, the Company effectuated a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of its common stock. On that day each five shares of outstanding common stock of the Company automatically converted to one share of common stock. All share and per share amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively restated to give effect to the September 4, 2002 reverse stock split. The authorized shares of 75,000,000 and par value of $0.001 per share for the Company’s common stock were not affected by the reverse stock split.
 
3.    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
Prior to its initial public offering, the Company granted certain stock options at exercise prices less than their deemed fair value; accordingly, the Company recorded deferred compensation of $4,636. Such deferred compensation is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of each individual award, resulting in $76 and $239 of stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and $269 and $784 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Table of Contents
 
In April 2000, the Company issued a warrant to Accenture Ltd (“Accenture”) to purchase up to 163,646 shares of common stock at $61.11 per share. The warrant vests contingently upon the achievement of certain milestones, primarily the generation of license revenue for the Company, and expires on April 20, 2004. The warrant contains a significant cash penalty for Accenture’s failure to meet the agreed revenue target by the expiration date, and, accordingly, the fair value of the warrant was measured at the date of grant in accordance with EITF Issue No. 96-18 and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, resulting in a fair value of approximately $5,000, which was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This amount is being amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the warrant. The Company recognized amortization expense of $309 for each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and $927 for each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively.
 
4.    RESTRUCTURING
 
In the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Company determined that its cost structure exceeded the level suggested by its assessment of the Company’s current near-term revenue opportunities. The Company continues to experience longer sales cycles and higher executive level review and approval processes on capital projects, particularly for technology and e-commerce projects. As a result, the Company developed a plan to reduce its cost structure to a level in line with current revenue opportunities, resulting in an $821 restructuring charge. Included in this restructuring plan was the termination of 51 employees across all areas of the Company. All of these employees were notified of their termination by June 30, 2002, and were severed by August 2, 2002. The resulting employee severance and related costs are presented below. The facilities related costs represent the remaining lease payments for closing four regional offices.
 
In conjunction with the restructuring, the Company recorded a $451 asset impairment charge. The write-down of assets, primarily computer equipment under capital leases, was a direct result of the recent staffing reductions. The fair value of the equipment included in the write-down was deemed to be $0. The Company has no foreseeable use for the assets and the assets are under leases which at the end of the lease term the Company is required to either return the equipment or purchase the equipment at the then fair market value. The company intends to return this equipment upon expiration of the current lease terms.
 
As of September 30, 2002, the majority of the Company’s restructuring accrual related to employee severance, benefits and related costs. Due to extended payment terms under severance arrangements with certain employees, payments against the restructuring charge will be made through the quarter ending March 31, 2003. In the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Company adjusted the restructuring accrual for items that were recorded as part of the restructuring charge taken in the third quarter of 2001, primarily for excess subcontractor notice-of-termination costs and employee benefit costs. The following table contains the significant components of the restructuring charge and current year-to-date activity relating to those components.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Overview
 
Click Commerce, Inc. (the “Company”) is a provider of Partner Relationship Management software products and integration services that connect large and middle market companies with their distribution channel partners. The Company’s software products and integration services enable companies to effectively manage and engage in collaborative business-to-business electronic commerce throughout all levels of their sell-side channels and processes. The Company develops, implements and supports private marketplaces, which are secure systems that use the Internet to communicate between companies with all participants in the network or chain of distribution who have a password and an Internet browser.
 
The Company commenced operations on August 20, 1996. During the period from inception until early 1998, the Company was primarily engaged in developing software for the Relationship Manager (formerly referred to as the Extranet Manager). In 1996 and 1997, the Company was also engaged in developing Internet Web sites and providing related consulting services. The Company implemented the first Click Commerce Relationship Manager in the second quarter of 1997.
 
The Company’s revenue is derived from sales of licenses of its software, comprised of the Relationship Manager and a portfolio of applications, as well as from needs analyses, professional services, training, maintenance and support and out-of-pocket expenses billed to its customers. The Company’s software is generally licensed on a perpetual basis.
 
Operating expenses are classified into four general categories: sales and marketing, research and development, general and administrative and amortization of stock-based compensation. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and other related costs for sales and marketing personnel, sales commissions, travel, public relations and marketing materials. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs to support product development. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other related costs for executive management, finance and administrative employees, legal and accounting services and until March 31, 2002, an allocation of project management overhead. Amortization of stock-based compensation represents the amortization over the related service period of the difference between the exercise price of options granted and the deemed fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, as well as amortization of the warrant issued in connection with a joint marketing agreement with Accenture Ltd. (“Accenture”).
 
In April 2000, the Company issued a warrant to Accenture to purchase up to 163,646 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $61.11 per share. The warrant vests contingently upon the achievement of certain milestones, primarily the generation of license revenue for the Company, and expires on April 20, 2004. The warrant contains a significant cash penalty for Accenture’s failure to meet the agreed revenue target by the expiration date, and, accordingly, the fair value of the warrant was determined on the date of grant in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18 and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 to be approximately $5.0 million, which was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This amount is included in additional paid-in capital and is being amortized to expense over the vesting period of the warrants. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company recognized $0.9 million in amortization expense. The Company expects to recognize future amortization expense of $0.3 million for the remainder of 2002, $1.2 million in 2003 and $0.4 million in 2004.
 
The Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of operating results should not be relied upon as predictive of future performance. The Company’s prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies at an early stage of development, particularly companies in new, rapidly evolving markets. The Company may not be successful in addressing such risks and difficulties.

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2002 to the three months ended September 30, 2001
 
Revenue
 
Total revenue decreased approximately $7.5 million, or 68.3%, to $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $11.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Product license revenue, comprised of revenue from separate product-only agreements and from multi-element agreements accounted for under a percentage-completed basis using milestones that specifically relate to product deliveries, decreased by $4.7 million, or 95.6%, as a result of a decrease in the number of new contracts and the average selling price of the current quarter’s contracts due to the economic slowdown and significant decline in information technology spending. Service revenue, comprising fees related to time and materials service contracts, maintenance, training and needs analyses, reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses, as well as multi-element agreements accounted for under a percentage-completed basis using hours of input or milestones that specifically relate to integration and customization services, decreased by $2.8 million, or 46.2%, over the prior year quarter. This decrease was due to professional services delivered on a time and material basis being lower by $2.1 million, needs analysis and addenda contracts being lower by $0.4 million, and service revenue from multi-element contracts being

10


Table of Contents
lower by $0.3 million. In any period, service revenue from time and materials contracts is dependent on, among other things, license transactions closed during the current and preceding quarters and customer decisions regarding implementations of licensed software.
 
Cost of Revenue
 
Total cost of revenue decreased approximately $1.1 million, or 33.8%, to $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. This cost of revenue decrease was primarily a result of lower third party contractor costs and employee compensation and related costs due to a reduction in project management personnel. Cost of product revenue decreased by $0.1 million or 30.1% due to lower royalty fees for licensed third party software that is embedded in the Company’s products or incorporated in the Company’s product offerings arising from lower product sales, as well as lower amortization of product packaging and other product costs. Gross profit margins decreased to 38.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to 70.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The gross margin decrease was due to a decrease in product revenue as a percent of total revenue as well as lower margins on both product and services revenue. The decrease in service margins was due to a classification of project management overhead in cost of services in the current quarter, lower average hourly rates and a lower utilization rate for the professional services staff in the current quarter. Product margins were lower due to lower product revenues against which comparable product-related costs are amortized.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Sales and Marketing.    Sales and marketing expenses decreased by approximately $3.5 million, or 70.4%, to $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in sales and marketing expense was primarily attributable to lower employee compensation and related costs due to a reduction in personnel and from lower discretionary marketing spending.
 
Research and Development.    Research and development expenses decreased by approximately $1.7 million, or 65.4%, to $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $2.6 million for the prior year three-month period. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower third party contractor costs and a reduction in salaries. To date, all software development costs have been expensed as incurred.
 
General and Administrative.    General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $0.8 million, or 45.2%, to $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower employee compensation and related costs due to a reduction in administrative personnel and lower overhead costs.
 
Amortization of stock-based compensation.    Prior to its initial public offering, the Company granted certain stock options at exercise prices less than their deemed fair value; accordingly, the Company recorded deferred compensation of $4.6 million. Such deferred compensation is being amortized over the vesting periods of the applicable options, resulting in expense of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Additionally, the $5.0 million fair value of the warrant issued to Accenture in April 2000 is being amortized over the vesting period of the warrant. Accordingly, $0.3 million of amortization expense was recognized during each of the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
 
Restructuring.    The Company did not record a restructuring charge in the quarter ended September 30, 2002.
 
Income tax expense.    The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. For the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company’s earnings did not include an income tax benefit, as a full tax valuation allowance against deferred tax assets generated from the Company’s net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was recorded. In the fourth quarter of 2001,

11


Table of Contents
the Company established a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets that were previously generated. Although future taxable income of the Company may be sufficient to utilize a substantial amount of the Company’s net operating loss carry forwards and to realize its deferred tax assets, management has concluded that the realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets did not meet the “more likely than not” criteria under SFAS No. 109.
 
Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2002 to the nine months ended September 30, 2001
 
Revenue
 
Total revenue decreased approximately $22.4 million, or 61.2%, to $14.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $36.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Product license revenue, comprised of revenue from separate product-only agreements and from multi-element agreements accounted for under a percentage completed basis using milestones that specifically relate to product deliveries, decreased by $17.2 million, or 91.8%, as a result of a decrease in the number of new contracts and the average selling price of the 2002 contracts due to the economic slowdown and significant decline in information technology spending. Service revenue, comprised of fees related to time and materials service contracts, maintenance, training and needs analyses, reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses, as well as multi-element agreements accounted for under a percentage completed basis using hours of input or milestones that specifically relate to integration and customization services, decreased by $5.3 million, or 29.2%, over the prior year quarter. This decrease was due to professional services revenue delivered on a time and materials basis being lower by $2.7 million, needs analysis and addenda contracts revenue being lower by $1.7 million, services revenue from multi-element contracts being lower by $2.1 million and training revenue being lower by $0.2 million. The service revenue decrease was offset by a $1.4 million increase in maintenance and support services.
 
Cost of Revenue
 
Total cost of revenue decreased approximately $3.1 million, or 30.4%, to $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $10.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This cost of revenue decrease was primarily a result of lower third party contractor costs and employee compensation and related costs due to a reduction in project management personnel. Cost of product revenue decreased by $0.4 million or 43.5% due to lower royalty fees for licensed third party software that is embedded in the Company’s products or incorporated in the Company’s product offerings arising from lower product sales, as well as lower amortization of product packaging and other costs. Gross profit margins decreased to 50.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to 72.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The gross margin decrease was due to a decrease in product revenue as a percent of total revenue as well as lower margins on both product and services revenue. The decrease in service margins was due to a classification of project management overhead in cost of services, lower average hourly rates and lower professional services staff utilization. Product margins were lower due to lower product revenues against which comparable product-related costs are amortized.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Sales and Marketing.    Sales and marketing expenses decreased by approximately $12.1 million, or 59.9%, to $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $20.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in sales and marketing expense was primarily attributable to lower employee compensation and related costs due to a reduction in personnel and discretionary marketing spending.
 
Research and Development.    Research and development expenses decreased by approximately $4.1 million, or 51.9%, to $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $7.8 million for the prior year nine month period. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower third party contractor costs and a reduction in salaries. To date, all software development costs have been expensed as incurred.

Table of Contents
 
General and Administrative.    General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $3.5 million, or 49.1%, to $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower employee compensation and related costs due to a reduction in administrative personnel and lower overhead costs.
 
Amortization of stock-based compensation.    Prior to its initial public offering, the Company granted certain stock options at exercise prices less than their deemed fair value; accordingly, the Company recorded deferred compensation expense of $4.6 million. Such deferred compensation expense is being amortized over the vesting periods of the applicable options, resulting in expense of $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Additionally, the $5.0 million fair value of the warrant issued to Accenture in April 2000 is being amortized over the vesting period of the warrant. Accordingly, $0.9 million of amortization expense was recognized during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
 
Restructuring.    In the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Company recorded a $0.8 million restructuring charge primarily related to severance and other benefit costs for 51 employees terminated as part of the restructuring plan and a $0.45 million asset write-down for excess equipment. The asset write-down was recorded to adjust the carrying value of excess equipment to its deemed fair value of $0 as these excess assets are leased under capital leases with fair market value buy out provisions at the end of the related lease terms. The restructuring charge also included the costs of closing four regional offices. The Company expects these actions to save approximately $6 million on an annual basis. The Company also reversed into income approximately $59,000 of excess severance accruals originally recorded as part of the restructuring charge taken in the quarter ended September 30, 2001.
 
Income tax expense.    The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company’s earnings did not include an income tax benefit, as a full tax valuation allowance against deferred tax assets generated from the Company’s net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was recorded. In the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company established a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets that were previously generated. Although future taxable income of the Company may be sufficient to utilize a substantial amount of the Company’s net operating loss carry forwards and to realize its deferred tax assets, management has concluded that the realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets did not meet the “more likely than not” criteria under SFAS No. 109.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At September 30, 2002, the Company had $35.6 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, consisting primarily of proceeds from its initial public offering. Net cash used in operating activities was $4.1 million and $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The $4.1 million of cash used in the current nine month period primarily consisted of a loss before amortization of stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization totaling approximately $7.8 million offset by current assets of $1.1 million less a decrease in accrued compensation, expenses and other current liabilities of $1.4 million and a decrease in accounts receivable of $3.9 million.
 
Net cash used by investing activities was $10.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 reflecting the diversification of investments from money market and overnight Euro and corporate paper investments to short-term highly liquid bond funds comprised of corporate and other bonds with average original maturities greater than 90 days. The transfer of funds to these short-term investments was $10.3 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company also purchased $0.3 million of property and equipment.
 
Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The cash used during the current year period reflects $0.6 million in capital lease payments and $0.1 million for the purchase of treasury stock under the Company’s approved stock buy-back program.

On March 31, 2002, the Company renewed its $3.0 million revolving credit facility. In January 2000, the Company obtained a letter of credit under this facility totaling $0.5 million to secure a new office lease. This letter of credit is renewable annually and declines by $0.1 million on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the lease and then declines to $38,130 on the fifth anniversary until the lease expires in August 2005. Accordingly, the letter of credit has declined to $0.3 million.
 
The Company may use cash resources to fund investments in complementary businesses or technologies. The Company believes that working capital will be sufficient to meet its working capital and operating expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. The Company has no current plans to raise additional equity during the next twelve months, although such plans are subject to business and market conditions. Thereafter, the Company may find it necessary to obtain additional equity or debt financing, although the Company does not currently foresee a need for additional cash resources for long-term needs. In the event additional financing is required, the Company may not be able to raise it on acceptable terms or at all.
 
In May 2002, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $5.0 million of its common stock in the open market. These shares may be purchased pursuant to Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 from time to time in the public market or through privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of any repurchase will be at the discretion of the Company’s management. As of September 30, 2002, the Company had repurchased 25,764 shares of its common stock at an average purchase price of $4.30 per share and at an aggregate cost of $110,760.
 
On August 30, 2002, at a special meeting of its stockholders, an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation was approved in order to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio between 1-for-2 and 1-for-5, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. At a special meeting of the Board of Directors on August 30, 2002, the Board of Directors approved a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock effective as of September 4, 2002, in order to improve the trading price for the common stock and improve the likelihood that the Company will be allowed to maintain the common stock’s listing on the Nasdaq National Market by satisfying the minimum bid requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq National Market System. As previously disclosed by the Company on a Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 4, 2002, the Company received on September 9, 2002, a letter from Nasdaq informing the Company that the Company had not satisfied the minimum bid price requirement for listing of its common stock and that it would be delisted on September 17, 2002. The Company appealed such notice on September 12, 2002, requesting a hearing before a listing qualification panel to review such delisting determination. Subsequently, Nasdaq informed the Company that it had evidenced compliance with the bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq National Market.
 
In addition, the Company continues to evaluate strategic alternatives, including opportunities to strategically grow the business, enter into strategic relationships or enter into business combinations. The Company can provide no assurance that it will consummate any such strategic alternatives and may elect to terminate such evaluation at any time.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” This statement requires that the fair value of a liability for legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. Such legal obligations include obligations a party is required to settle as a result of an existing or enacted law, statute, or ordinance, or written or oral contract. These associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on the Company.

Table of Contents
 
In July 2002, the FASB issued statement No. 146. “Accounting for Cost Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” This statement will require the recording of exit or disposal costs when they are incurred and can be measured at fair value. A liability is incurred when an event obligates a company to transfer or use assets (i.e., when an event leaves the company little or no discretion to avoid transferring or using assets in the future). These costs will be subsequently adjusted for changes in estimated cash flows. This statement is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.

Statements in this Form 10-Q that are not historical facts and refer to the Company’s future prospects are “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “hope,” “assume,” “estimate” and other similar words and expressions. The statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to, the ability of the Company to execute on its plan to enter into strategic alliances with system integrators and business consultants, the extent of customer acceptance and utilization of the Company’s channel management solutions, the impact of competitive products and services, the Company’s ability to manage growth and to develop new and enhanced versions of its products and services, the effect of economic and business conditions, the volume and timing of customer contracts, and related approval processes capital and intellectual property spending of Click Commerce’s target customers, changes in technology, deployment delays or errors associated with the Company’s products and the Company’s ability to protect its intellectual property rights. For a discussion of these and other risk factors that could affect the Company’s business, see “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Item 3.    Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
The following discusses the Company’s exposure to market risk related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could vary materially as a result of a number of factors including those set forth in Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K under “Risk Factors.”
 
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
 
To date, predominately all of the Company’s recognized revenues have been denominated in U.S. dollars and primarily from customers in the United States and the exposure to foreign currency exchange rate changes has been immaterial. The Company expects, however, that future product license and professional services revenues may also be derived from international markets and may be denominated in the currency of the applicable market. As a result, operating results may become subject to significant fluctuations based upon changes in the exchange rates of certain currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. Furthermore, to the extent the Company engages in international sales denominated in U.S. dollars, an increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies could make the Company’s products less competitive in international markets. Although the Company will continue to monitor its exposure to currency fluctuations, and, when appropriate, may use financial hedging techniques in the future to minimize the effect of these fluctuations, there is no assurance that exchange rate fluctuations will not adversely affect financial results in the future.
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
As of September 30, 2002, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $25.3 million. Declines in interest rates will reduce interest income from short-term investments. Based upon the balance of cash and cash

equivalents at September 30, 2002, a change in interest rates of 0.5% would cause a corresponding change in annual interest income of approximately $0.1 million. At September 30, 2002, the Company also had $10.3 million in short-term investments, consisting primarily of short-term bond funds, with an average maturity of three years. A portion of these investments are in fixed rate securities. The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate investments may be adversely impacted by a rise in interest rates.
 
Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
 
Within the 90 day period prior to the filing of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
 
Subsequent to the date of their evaluation, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls.

PART II.    OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.    Legal Proceedings
 
On or about December 4, 2001, a putative securities class action, captioned Murphy v. Click Commerce, Inc., et at, Civil Action 01-CV-11234 was filed against the Company, two of the Company’s executive officers and Morgan Stanley & Co., Dain Rauscher Incorporated, Lehman Brothers, Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc., and U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray, Inc., the underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges violations of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) against all defendants, a violation of Section 15 of the Securities Act against two of the Company’s executive officers and violations of Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, against the underwriters. The complaint seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of common stock between June 26, 2000 and December 6, 2000. As of September 30, 2002, various plaintiffs have filed similar actions asserting virtually identical allegations against approximately 300 other companies.
 
Although some global settlement discussions have taken place among the various affected parties, there have been no significant developments in the litigation. No discovery has occurred to date, and no dispositive motions have been filed. The Company intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously. No assurance can be given, however, that this matter will be resolved in the Company’s favor.
