FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

      Options to purchase 534,449 and 1,009,166 shares of common stock were not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share for the three months ended December 25, 2004 and December 27, 2003, respectively, because the option exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during those periods.

      Options to purchase 900,317 and 1,025,823 shares of common stock were not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share for the six months ended December 25, 2004 and December 27, 2003, respectively, because the option exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during those periods.

4.     Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

      The Company has established a hedging program designed to reduce the exposure to changes in currency exchange rates.

      At December 25, 2004, currency options and collars designated as hedging instruments with notional amounts of $2.4 million, $3.1 million and $2.4 million to exchange Euros, Japanese yen and Australian dollars for U.S. dollars, respectively, were outstanding. The fair values of these instruments, as derived from dealer quotations, were recorded as components of other current assets or other current liabilities, depending on their valuation. At December 25, 2004, instruments with fair values of $241,000 were recorded as components of other current assets. Net unrealized gains on these instruments of $80,000 were included in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company expects these instruments to affect earnings over the next six months. During the three-month and six-month periods ended December 25, 2004, net gains of $44,000 and $28,000, respectively, were recorded as components of other income and expense. These amounts were comprised of $31,000 and $55,000, respectively, of premiums paid for new instruments, net of $75,000 and $83,000 of gains, respectively, on the effective portion of options that were settled. As of December 25, 2004, there were no financial instruments or derivatives outstanding that did not qualify for hedge accounting.

      At December 27, 2003, currency options and collars designated as hedging instruments with notional amounts of $3.1 million, $9.3 million and $1.9 million to exchange Euros, Japanese yen and Australian dollars for U.S. dollars, respectively, were outstanding. At December 27, 2003, the total fair values of all currency options and collars held by the Company of $304,000 and $281,000 were recorded as components of other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively. Net unrealized losses on options and collars that qualified as hedging instruments of $50,000 were included in accumulated other comprehensive income. During the three-month and six-month periods ended December 27, 2003, net losses of $37,000 and $117,000 were recorded as components of other income and expense on the effective portion of options that were settled. For the three-month and six-month periods ended December 27, 2003, unrealized losses of $43,000 and $64,000 were recognized on the ineffective portion of the options and collars designated as hedging instruments. As of December 27, 2003, there were no financial instruments or derivatives outstanding that did not qualify for hedge accounting.

      Intangible assets acquired in the Company’s business combinations include goodwill, customer base, developed technology, customer order backlog and non-compete agreements. All of the Company’s acquired intangible assets, except for goodwill, are subject to amortization over their estimated useful lives. No significant residual value is estimated for these intangible assets. A portion of this amortization is included as a component of the Company’s cost of product revenue on the condensed consolidated statement of income. A portion of the acquired intangible assets is recorded in the accounts of a French subsidiary of the Company and, as such, is subject to translation at the currency exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date.

      The components of acquired intangible assets are as follows:

      Costs associated with the development of computer software and related products are expensed prior to establishing technological feasibility, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed,” and capitalized thereafter until the product is available for general release to customers. Software development costs eligible for capitalization were not significant for the three months ended December 25, 2004. In the six months ended December 25, 2004, $201,000 of costs were capitalized. Development costs capitalized in the three months and six months ended December 27, 2003 were zero and $220,000, respectively. All such costs have been included in other non-current assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet and are being amortized to cost of product revenue over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to five years.

9. Restructuring Plans

     January 2004 Plan

      In January 2004, the Company initiated a corporate restructuring plan (the “January 2004 plan”) related to its January 2004 acquisition of American MSI Corporation (“AMSI”). The January 2004 plan included the termination of three employees from sales and management positions in the United States and Italy. As a result of the January 2004 plan, the Company recorded charges and related accruals of $508,000 in its third fiscal quarter of 2004. These charges were recorded as restructuring costs in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. All significant activities under the January 2004 plan were completed as of March 27, 2004, except for cash payments of the remaining liabilities.

      The following table presents activity against the restructuring liability during the six months ended December 25, 2004 and the remaining liability at the period end included in accrued expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet:

10. Credit Facilities

      In January 2005, the Company completed the renewal of its unsecured $5.0 million working capital credit facility with a domestic bank. The terms of the facility, which expires February 2, 2007, are substantially the same as those of the previous facility. The available borrowing base of the facility is subject to a calculation that is based upon eligible accounts receivable. Advances may be in the form of loans, letters of credit, foreign exchange contracts or other cash management lines. Loans against the facility bear interest at the bank’s prime rate. The previous facility included certain restrictive covenants, all of which the Company was in compliance with as of December 25, 2004. These covenants included certain liquidity and profitability measures and restrictions that limited the ability of the Company to merge, acquire or sell certain assets without prior approval from the bank. As of December 25, 2004, the Company had employed $710,000 of the available borrowing base of the previous facility through outstanding foreign exchange contracts and letters of credit. These advances do not incur interest charges. As of December 25, 2004, there were no loans advanced against the facility and the remaining available borrowing base was $4.3 million.

      Certain subsidiaries of the Company have established unsecured credit facilities with two separate financial institutions primarily for the purposes of establishing foreign exchange contracts. Advances against these facilities bear interest at the institutions’ published rates plus 2% per annum and are guaranteed by the Company. There were no advances against these facilities as of December 25, 2004.

      Certain subsidiaries of the Company have established other credit facilities, totaling $251,000 at December 25, 2004, with two separate financial institutions for general working capital requirements and foreign exchange facilities. Advances against these facilities bear interest at the institutions’ published rates, plus 1.5% per annum. Advances against these facilities are unsecured. There were no advances against these facilities as of December 25, 2004.

 
11. Segment and Geographic Information

     Segment Information

      The Company operates in one industry — computer software and hardware products for the plastics part and mold design and manufacturing industry. Until the end of fiscal 2004, the Company was managed and

11


 

MOLDFLOW CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

operated as one business unit with two product lines. A single management team that reported to the chief operating decision maker comprehensively managed the entire business.

      In its third fiscal quarter of 2004, the Company announced a plan to reorganize into two separate business units: the Design Analysis Solutions unit and the Manufacturing Solutions unit. The reorganization was substantially complete at the end of fiscal 2004, resulting in two reportable segments as defined by SFAS No. 131, “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” Under this revised organizational structure, there are significant functions, and therefore costs, that are considered corporate expenses and are not allocated to the reportable segments for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. These unallocated corporate expenses include certain marketing, development and general and administrative costs. Allocated expenses include direct costs associated with selling, supporting, developing and marketing the products and services sold by each reporting unit, as well as amortization of acquired intangible assets. The basis of allocation of all such costs and expenses includes significant judgment and estimation.

      Asset information by reportable segment is not reported as the Company does not accumulate such information internally. The Company had no customers from which it derived more than 10% of the total revenue of either reporting unit for the fiscal periods presented.

12. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantor Arrangements

      The following is a summary of agreements and provisions the Company has determined are within the scope of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 45 “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34.”

      In the normal course of business, the Company has indemnified third parties and has commitments and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in certain circumstances. These indemnities, commitments and guarantees include indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases; indemnities to customers related to performance of services subcontracted to other providers; indemnities to vendors that guarantee expenses incurred by employees of the Company and indemnities and guarantees to financial institutions related to sales of the Company’s equity securities and performance under credit facilities of the Company’s subsidiaries. The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite. The majority of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. The Company has never incurred material costs to settle claims or defend lawsuits related to these indemnities, commitments and guarantees. As a result, the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, no liabilities have been recorded for these agreements as of December 25, 2004.

      The Company generally warrants that its products will perform in all material respects in accordance with its standard published specifications in effect at the time of delivery of the products to the customer for a period of from 90 days to two years from the date of shipment or any longer period that may be required by local law. The Company records a liability based upon its history of claims against the contractual warranty provisions.

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

      We begin Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) with a review of our overall strategy and the strategy for our two business units to give the reader a view of the goals of our business and the direction in which our business and products are moving. This is followed by a discussion of the Critical Accounting Policies that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated in our reported financial results. We then discuss our Results of Operations for the three and six months ended December 25, 2004 compared to the three and six months ended December 27, 2003. We then provide an analysis of changes in our balance sheet and cash flows, and discuss our financial commitments in the sections entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” “Contractual Obligations” and “Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements.”

Forward-Looking Statements

      This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” and “continue” or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss our future expectations, contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial condition, or state other “forward-looking” information. We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our investors.

      However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or control and that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those discussed as a result of various factors, including those factors described in “Risk Factors and Important Factors That May Affect Future Results.” Readers should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. We do not undertake any obligation to update any of our forward-looking statements to reflect events occurring after the date of this report.

Business Overview

      Our goal is to be the world’s leading provider of software and hardware solutions for the optimization and automation of plastics-focused manufacturing. We offer customers a broad range of solutions to improve the way they design and produce parts and molds through powerful and robust technology-based products and services. Our focus is to help customers manufacture less expensive and more reliable plastic products by increasing the effectiveness of their designs and their manufacturing operations and improving efficiencies across the entire design-through-manufacture process.

      We believe that our key competitive strength is our extensive domain knowledge in the fields of materials science and characterization, numerical methods and predictive modeling through simulation and analysis, coupled with our expertise in packaging and delivering this knowledge to our customers in easy-to-use software and hardware applications. We develop software products internally and through cooperative research relationships with a number of public and private educational and research organizations around the world. In addition, some of our products are developed by commercial contractors. Because of the strong body of intellectual property and knowledge that we have created over the course of twenty-six years in serving the plastics design and manufacturing market, we have become the leading provider of highly sophisticated predictive software applications for the plastics design engineering and manufacturing communities.

      Plastics are pervasive throughout a broad range of vertical industry applications including the automotive, electronics, packaging, medical products and consumer goods industries. These industries are generally large and growing. Because the supply chains that support the design and production of plastic parts in these industries are often fragmented and comprised of multiple companies in various geographies around the globe, we have developed a wide range of applications that can be used by participants at all stages of the plastics value chain to optimize their process and reduce their costs. Our strategy is to deliver our deep domain expertise in plastics packaged in software and system solutions that address the specific issues of the

16


 

participants in each of these stages and increase our penetration of these industries by making our products available through a combination of direct and independent sales representatives, resellers and engineering consultants around the globe.

      For the design of plastic parts and molds, our strategy is to provide products which enable analysis-driven design, in the earliest stages of product development, by making analysis technology more integral to the design process. In doing so, we seek to make our technology available to a wider audience of potential users in mainstream design markets, including those engineers who are not specialists in plastics design. By building upon our existing technology categories, we bring powerful solutions which are easy to learn and use, providing low cost of deployment and rapid return on investment.

      For manufacturers of plastic parts, our strategy is to offer a range of products which address the need for optimizing, automating and monitoring the setup of the primary equipment while controlling and monitoring the temperature, flow of materials and other elements in the manufacturing process. Our solutions include applications which provide real-time business performance management information that enables companies to manage their manufacturing operations throughout the production process. Because of our extensive knowledge of the material properties of plastics and the physics involved in the process of converting raw plastic to finished goods, we can assist companies to obtain higher production yields, reduced cycle times, improved process reliability and better part quality.

      Our growth strategy derives from these strengths. We continue to increase the business value of our design analysis solutions and manufacturing solutions for our customers in a number of ways. We improve the performance and functionality of existing products with each new release. We develop products addressing specific vertical market needs in each of the target market segments of our business. In the design phase, for example, we provide applications which address the process of microchip encapsulation, a process which is involved in the manufacture of semiconductors. In the manufacturing phase, we offer solutions to the die cast market, a conversion process that is similar to the plastics injection molding process.

      Expanding our geographic coverage is a key element of our growth strategy. We believe that the rapidly developing economies in China and other developing countries present significant longer-term growth opportunities for our business. Our ability to conduct research and development at various locations throughout the world allows us to optimize product development and lower costs. International development, however, also involves significant costs and challenges, including whether we can adequately protect our intellectual property and derive significant revenue in areas where laws regarding intellectual property are not in place or not effectively enforced.

      A significant part of our growth strategy is based upon building on the customer loyalty that we have achieved and the large installed base that we have built. We receive approximately 60% to 70% of our overall revenue from repeat customers. We deliver product releases on a regular and timely basis which incorporate significant functionality improvements to ensure that our customers have access to the latest technology developments. We focus on customer satisfaction through programs aimed at involving our customers in the future direction of our products, enhancing their ease of use and user experience and providing multiple points of contact within the company to ensure that their needs are met.

      Our uses of cash include capital expenditures to support our operations and our product development, mergers and acquisitions, and investments in growth initiatives. We continue to evaluate merger and acquisition opportunities to the extent they support our strategy and our growth objectives.

      We sell our products and services internationally through our direct sales operations in 14 countries. We also sell through a network of distributors and value-added resellers and through distribution arrangements with developers of other design software products.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

      The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires 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, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, bad debts, inventories, income taxes, warranty obligations, intangible assets, and contingencies and litigation. 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.

      The accounting policies that we believe are most critical to fully understand our consolidated financial statements include: revenue recognition, asset valuation allowances, acquisition accounting, impairment of acquired intangible assets, goodwill and other long-lived assets, income tax accounting, restructuring charges, hedge accounting, capitalization of software development costs and stock option accounting. For a more detailed explanation of the judgments included in these areas, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2004.

      Total revenue in our second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2005 increased 53% and 50%, respectively, from the comparable periods of fiscal 2004. The increase in both periods was primarily as a result of growth in our Design Analysis Solutions product sales in our European and Asia/ Australia regions and also due to sales of hot runner process controllers, the main product of American MSI Corporation (“AMSI”), a company which we acquired in January 2004. In both the three-month and six-month periods ended December 25, 2004, the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the currencies of some of the other countries in which we conduct business was weaker than that of the comparable periods of fiscal 2004. Had the currency exchange rates of both periods of fiscal 2005 been the same as the comparable periods of fiscal 2004, our total revenue for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 25, 2004 would have increased 47% and 44%, respectively, from the prior year.

      Cost of revenue in our second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2005 increased 129% and 137%, respectively, from the comparable periods of fiscal 2004. The increase in both periods was primarily a result of higher direct material costs associated with our hot runner process controllers and the costs of distribution personnel added in our acquisition of AMSI.

19


 

      Operating expenses, including amortization of acquired intangible assets, in our second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2005 increased 28% and 21%, respectively, from the comparable periods of fiscal 2004. The increase in both periods was primarily due to the cost of personnel added in our acquisition of AMSI, higher variable sales costs related to the current sales performance, increased professional service fees including those related to our Sarbanes-Oxley compliance effort and the decline in value of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currencies in which we incur expenses. Beginning in July 2005, our employee-related expenditures will increase substantially when we are required by accounting standard changes to record compensation expense related to employee stock option grants.

      In the six months ended December 25, 2004, we generated $454,000 of cash from our operating activities as compared to $61,000 in the six months ended December 27, 2003. We finished the first half of fiscal 2005 with $52.9 million of cash and marketable securities, compared to $51.7 million of cash and marketable securities as of June 30, 2004. We have no long-term debt.

Revenue

      We generate revenue from three principal sources:

  •  license fees for our packaged software,
 
  •  product fees for our collaborative manufacturing management systems and hot runner process controllers, and

20


 

  •  services revenue derived from maintenance and support related to our products, consulting, implementation, training and material testing.

      Total revenue increased 53%, or $5.7 million, to $16.3 million for the three months ended December 25, 2004, from $10.6 million for the three months ended December 27, 2003. On a constant currency basis, which excludes the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates from those of the previous year, total revenue for the three-month period increased approximately 47%. For the six months ended December 25, 2004, total revenue increased 50%, or $10.1 million, to $30.2 million from $20.1 million in the comparable period of the previous fiscal year. On a constant currency basis, total revenue for the six-month period increased approximately 44%.

      Our product revenue includes both license fees for our packaged software application products and product fees for our manufacturing management systems and hot runner process controllers. Typically, our customers pay an up-front, one-time fee for our products. For our packaged software applications, the amount of the fee depends upon the number and type of software modules licensed and the number of the customer’s employees or other users who can access the software product simultaneously. Our MPA product is subject to the terms of a “click-wrapped” software license agreement that is included as part of each customer’s installation process. For sales of our other packaged software products, we generally require a signed license agreement. For our manufacturing management systems, the amount of the fee depends upon the number and type of software modules licensed with the system, if any, and the system’s hardware components. We generally require a signed license agreement for sales of our manufacturing management systems that have significant application software functionality. For our hot runner process controllers, which do not have significant software application functionality, the fee primarily depends on the system’s hardware components. In addition, we receive royalty payments from developers of other software products related to the bundling of our software with their design software programs. We record these payments as revenue as well, but such amounts have not been significant to date.

      Product revenue for the second fiscal quarter increased by $4.4 million, or 87%, to $9.6 million, from $5.1 million in the comparable period of the previous fiscal year. On a constant currency basis, which excludes the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates from those of the previous year, product revenue increased 80% from the same period of fiscal 2004. The remainder of the increase was due to the impact of our acquisition of AMSI, the introduction of new Design Analysis Solutions products and our extended distribution capabilities, which allowed us to reach a broader segment of the mid-range design market.

      We added 86 new customers in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, compared to 122 new customers in the same period of fiscal 2004. Sales to new customers represented 26% of total product revenue in the three months ended December 25, 2004, compared to 49% of total product revenue in the three months ended December 27, 2003.

      Product revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2005 increased by $8.0 million, or 85%, to $17.5 million, from $9.5 million in the comparable period of the previous fiscal year. The increase was a result of the acquisition of AMSI, increased Design Analysis Solution product sales and the declining value of the U.S. dollar relative to most of the local currencies in which we generate revenue, in particular the Euro and Japanese yen.

      We added 178 new customers in the first half of fiscal 2005, compared to 224 new customers in the comparable period of fiscal 2004. Sales to new customers represented 29% of total product revenue in the six months ended December 25, 2004, compared to 38% of total product revenue in the six months ended December 27, 2003.

      Pricing of individual products within our product families of both our business units can vary greatly, and the mix of products sold during a given period can significantly impact our average selling price per seat. As such, we do not believe that an average selling price per seat provides a meaningful measure of our business.

 
Design Analysis Solutions Product Revenue

      Product revenue from our Design Analysis Solutions (“DAS”) products increased by $2.0 million, or 49%, to $6.2 million in the three months ended December 25, 2004 when compared to the three months ended December 27, 2003. For the six-month period ended December 25, 2004, DAS product revenue increased by $3.8 million, or 51%, to $11.4 million when compared to the six months ended December 27, 2003. The increase in both periods was due mostly to strong sales results in Japan, Korea and Europe, particularly in Germany and France. We believe that this strong sales growth is the result of a number of factors, including new product introductions and economic recovery in certain of our key markets, including the European automotive industry and the Asian electronics industry.

      Within the last year, we released new versions of our MPA and MPI products, which introduced new, add-on modules to each of these product lines. We believe that these releases have increased the appeal of the products to a broader base of engineers, resulting in increased sales of these product families relative to the previous fiscal year. In addition, we recently introduced new software applications that are integrated into third party products and designed to expand our product offerings into additional market segments. We believe that those releases increased our DAS product revenue relative to the previous fiscal year.

      We sold 129 seats of DAS products in the three months ended December 25, 2004, compared to 115 seats of these products in the three months ended December 27, 2003. For the six-month period ended December 25, 2004, we sold 278 seats of DAS products compared to 249 seats of these products in the six months ended December 27, 2003.

 
Manufacturing Solutions Product Revenue

      Product revenue from our Manufacturing Solutions (“MS”) products increased by $2.4 million, or 244%, to $3.4 million in the three months ended December 25, 2004 compared to $1.0 million in the three months ended December 27, 2003. For the six-month period ended December 25, 2004, product revenue from our MS products increased by $4.2 million, or 219%, to $6.1 million compared to $1.9 million in the six months ended December 27, 2003. The increase in both periods from the previous fiscal year was primarily due to sales of hot runner process controllers, a product line that was acquired in our January 2004 acquisition of AMSI.

      We sold 295 seats of our MS products in the three months ended December 25, 2004 compared to 223 seats of MS products in the three months ended December 27, 2003. For the six-month period ended December 25, 2004, we sold 475 seats of our MS products compared to 313 seats of MS products in the six months ended December 27, 2003.

 
Services Revenue

      We derive revenue from maintenance and support contracts that require us to provide technical support services to customers and unspecified product upgrades and enhancements on a when-and-if-available basis. We also provide consulting and implementation services, training of customers’ employees, material testing services and repairs.

      Services revenue accounted for approximately 41% of our total revenue in the three months ended December 25, 2004, compared to 52% of our total revenue in the three months ended December 27, 2003. Revenues derived from services increased by 21% in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 when compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2004. This increase was primarily from the sale of maintenance contracts, which was the result of growth in our installed customer base arising from software license sales made during the reporting period and in prior years. In the three months ended December 25, 2004, services revenue from the DAS business unit was $6.0 million and services revenue from the MS business unit was $676,000. In the

24


 

three months ended December 27, 2003, services revenue from the DAS business unit was $5.1 million and services revenue from the MS business unit was $410,000.

      Services revenue accounted for approximately 42% of our total revenue in the six months ended December 25, 2004, compared to 53% of our total revenue in the six months ended December 27, 2003. Revenues derived from services increased by 19% in the first half of fiscal 2005 due to growth in our installed customer base. In the six months ended December 25, 2004, services revenue from the DAS business unit was $11.4 million and services revenue from the MS business unit was $1.3 million. In the six months ended December 27, 2003, services revenue from the DAS business unit was $7.6 million and services revenue from the MS business unit was $725,000.

Cost of Product Revenue

      Cost of product revenue consists primarily of the costs associated with hardware components for our Manufacturing Solutions products, compact discs and related packaging material, duplication and shipping costs and the salaries of our distribution personnel. In some cases, we pay royalties to third parties for usage-based licenses of their products that are embedded in our products. Product royalties are expensed when the related obligation arises, which is generally upon the license of our products, and are included in cost of product revenue. Also included in cost of product revenue is amortization expense related to capitalized software development costs and amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired in our acquisition of AMSI.

      Our cost of product revenue was $1.9 million in the three months ended December 25, 2004, compared to $605,000 in the three months ended December 27, 2003. This change was due principally to increased personnel costs and direct material costs. In our acquisition of AMSI, we added 16 distribution personnel, resulting in an additional $288,000 of compensation and other employee costs when compared to the previous year. Direct material costs increased $855,000 from the prior year, a result of sales of hot runner process controllers, a product line that has a higher cost of material than that of our other products. Amortization expense included in cost of product revenue increased $89,000 compared to the same period of the prior year

25


 

due to increased capitalized software development costs and intangible technology assets acquired in our acquisition of AMSI.

      Our cost of product revenue was $3.7 million in the six months ended December 25, 2004, compared to $1.2 million in the six months ended December 27, 2003. Employees added in our acquisition of AMSI resulted in an additional $606,000 of compensation and other employee costs when compared to the previous year. Direct material costs increased almost $1.6 million from the prior year, a result of sales of hot runner process controllers. Amortization expense included in cost of product revenue increased $124,000 compared to the same period of the prior year due to increased capitalized software development costs and intangible technology assets acquired in our acquisition of AMSI.

 
Cost of Services Revenue

      Cost of services revenue consists primarily of salary, fringe benefit and facility related costs of our maintenance and support, consulting and training activities and of our material testing laboratories, and is expensed when incurred. Additionally, from time to time, we engage outside consultants to meet peaks in customer demand for consulting and implementation services.

      Our cost of services revenue was $1.7 million in the three months ended December 25, 2004, compared to $934,000 in the three months ended December 27, 2003. Our cost of services revenue was $2.9 million in the six months ended December 25, 2004, compared to $1.6 million in the six months ended December 27, 2003. The increase in both periods was due primarily to the impact of an organizational change and redirection of our technical sales staff from research and development and sales functions to our post-sales and implementation groups, the costs of which are included in cost of services revenue. To a lesser extent, the increase was also a result of the declining value of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currencies in which we incur expenses.

      We employ a staff to develop new products and enhance our existing products. Product development expenditures, which include salaries, benefits, travel, payments to universities and other research institutions and facilities costs, are generally charged to operations as incurred. However, SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed,” requires the capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility up to the point the product is available for general release to customers. All such capitalized costs are amortized to cost of product revenue over the estimated economic life of the related products, which ranges from three to five years.

      Our research and development expenses were $2.0 million in the three months ended December 25, 2004 compared to $1.5 million in the three months ended December 27, 2003, an increase of $505,000. A portion of this increase is due to the capitalization of $220,000 of research and development costs related to software

26


 

development efforts in the second fiscal quarter of 2004. In the three months ended December 25, 2004, costs eligible for capitalization were not significant, resulting in an increase in the current period expense relative to that of the prior year. The remainder of the increase in research and development expenses was primarily attributable to a $237,000 increase in employee compensation costs, a result of our annual salary increases, staff added in the acquisition of AMSI and currency exchange rate movements.

      Our research and development expenses were $3.7 million in the six months ended December 25, 2004 compared to $3.1 million in the six months ended December 27, 2003, an increase of $557,000. The increase was primarily attributable to a $452,000 increase in employee compensation costs, a result of our annual salary increases, staff added in the acquisition of AMSI and currency exchange rate movements and $104,000 of third-party research programs. In accordance with SFAS No. 86, we capitalized $201,000 and $220,000 in the first six months of 2005 and 2004, respectively. As we plan to release several new products and enhancements over the remainder of the fiscal year, we expect to capitalize software development costs in the remaining quarters of fiscal 2005.

      We sell our products primarily through our direct sales force and indirect distribution channels. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions paid to our sales staff and third-party manufacturers’ representatives, employee benefits costs, sales office facility rental and related costs, travel and promotional events such as trade shows, advertising, print and web-based collateral materials and public relations programs.

      Our selling and marketing expenses were $5.6 million in the three months ended December 25, 2004, compared to $4.7 million in the three months ended December 27, 2003. The increase from the previous year was primarily a result of a $680,000 increase in employee compensation costs, a result of staff added in the acquisition of AMSI as well as commissions paid to our direct sales force on increased revenues, a $105,000 increase in marketing promotional activities, a $176,000 increase in commissions related to sales through third-party manufacturers’ representatives and a $110,000 increase in travel expense. These increases were offset, in part, by the impact of our redirection in late fiscal 2004 of sales resources to customer support and implementation activities, the cost of which is now included in cost of services revenue. This organizational change reduced our selling and marketing expenses by $270,000 as compared to the previous fiscal year and increased cost of services revenue by a corresponding amount.

      Our selling and marketing expenses were $10.3 million in the six months ended December 25, 2004, compared to $8.9 million in the six months ended December 27, 2003. The increase from the previous year was primarily a result of a $1.3 million increase in employee compensation costs, a result of staff added in the acquisition of AMSI as well as commissions paid to our direct sales force on increased revenues, a $250,000 increase in marketing promotional activities and a $342,000 increase in commissions related to sales through third-party manufacturers’ representatives. These increases were offset, in part, by the impact of our

redirection in late fiscal 2004 of sales resources to customer support and implementation activities, the cost of which is now included in cost of services revenue. This organizational change reduced our selling and marketing expenses by $725,000 as compared to the previous fiscal year and increased cost of services revenue by a corresponding amount.

      Our general and administrative expenses were $3.1 million in the three months ended December 25, 2004, compared to $2.1 million in the three months ended December 27, 2003. The increase in general and administrative expenses was due primarily to a $326,000 increase in compensation expense, which included the impact of personnel added as a result of the AMSI acquisition, a $116,000 increase in Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and preparation costs, an $81,000 increase in employee costs, including costs associated with hiring new staff and training and a $190,000 increase in audit, tax and legal service fees.

      These costs represent the amortization of intangible assets, other than goodwill, recorded in connection with our acquisitions. Those assets include customer base, developed technology, customer order backlog and non-compete agreements, which are amortized over their economic lives, ranging from six months to seven years. The reduction in amortization expense in the current fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year reflects the completion of amortization of certain intangible assets that reached the end of their estimated useful life.

 
Interest Income, Net

      Interest income includes interest income earned on invested cash balances.

      Our interest income was $384,000 in the three months ended December 25, 2004 compared to $290,000 in the three months ended December 27, 2003. Our interest income was $730,000 in the six months ended December 25, 2004 compared to $558,000 in the six months ended December 27, 2003.

 
Other Income (Loss), Net

      Other income (loss), net includes gains and losses arising from translation of foreign currency denominated asset and liability balances, recognized gains and losses on our foreign currency hedging instruments, and other non-operating income and expense items.

      Our other income of $16,000 and other losses of $42,000 in the three months and six months ended December 25, 2004, respectively, were not significantly changed since the previous fiscal year.

 
Provision for Income Taxes

      Our estimated annual effective income tax rate for fiscal 2005 is 29%, compared to 37% in fiscal 2004. In the second fiscal quarter of 2005, our actual income tax rate was 31% on pre-tax income of $2.3 million. The difference between the effective income tax rate of the second fiscal quarter of 2005 and the full year estimate was due to a one-time benefit recorded in our first fiscal quarter of 2005 of $230,000 arising from the reduction of a valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets of one of our subsidiaries. We currently estimate that our income tax rate in each of the remaining quarters of fiscal 2005 will be approximately 31%, and that this will result in the estimated effective income tax rate of approximately 29% for the fiscal year.

      Our future effective tax rate may be materially impacted by the amount of income taxes associated with our foreign earnings, which are taxed at rates different from the U.S. federal statutory rate, as well as the timing and extent of the realization of deferred tax assets, changes in the tax law and potential acquisitions. In connection with the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”), enacted in October 2004, we may be able to repatriate certain of our foreign earnings in fiscal 2005 or fiscal 2006 at a reduced rate of tax under the dividend reinvestment provisions of the Act. If we elect to do so, we will be required to record a provision for U.S. income tax purposes in our consolidated financial statements when our management and directors approve and commit to a dividend reinvestment plan. We are currently assessing the impact, if any, that the Act will have on our future income tax expense. Further, we believe that our tax rate may fluctuate within a fiscal year, including from quarter to quarter, due to potential items arising from discrete events, including settlements of tax audits and assessments, acquisitions of other companies or other events.

      In the first quarter of 2005, one of our Australian subsidiaries became subject to an audit by the local taxing authority. The significant issues under review relate to the deductibility of certain costs and our utilization of net operating losses to reduce taxable income in the years between fiscal 1994 and 2001 by

29


 

approximately $10.6 million, which amount was subject to an average effective tax rate of 35% over that time period. We believe the positions taken on our tax returns have merit and will be sustained upon audit. Accordingly, no liabilities have been recorded in our consolidated balance sheet related to this matter.

      Historically, we have financed our operations and met our capital expenditure requirements primarily through funds generated from operations, sales of our capital stock and borrowings from lending institutions. As of December 25, 2004, our primary sources of liquidity consisted of our total cash and cash equivalents balance of $39.2 million, our marketable securities balance of $13.7 million and our credit facilities. In January 2005, we renewed our primary $5.0 million unsecured working capital credit facility. The available borrowing base of the facility is subject to a calculation that is based upon eligible accounts receivable. Advances may be in the form of loans, letters of credit, foreign exchange contracts or other cash management lines. The preceding facility included restrictive covenants, all of which we were in compliance with at December 25, 2004. These covenants include liquidity and profitability measures and restrictions that limit the ability of Moldflow to merge, acquire or sell assets without prior approval from the bank. At December 25, 2004, we had employed $710,000 of available borrowings for outstanding foreign exchange contracts and letters of credit and had an additional $4.3 million available for borrowing. In addition to our primary working capital line of credit, we also utilize domestic and foreign banking institutions to provide liquidity to our subsidiaries and to facilitate foreign currency and hedging transactions. As of December 25, 2004, we had no outstanding debt.

      Operating activities provided $454,000 of cash in the six months ended December 25, 2004 and $61,000 of cash in the six months ended December 27, 2003. In fiscal 2005, cash of $4.6 million was provided by our net income adjusted for certain non-cash charges and expenses, such as depreciation and amortization, partially offset by net changes in operating assets and liabilities which consumed $4.2 million of cash. In fiscal 2004, cash of $2.1 million was provided by our net income adjusted for non-cash charges and expenses, partially offset by net changes in operating assets and liabilities which consumed $2.0 million of cash. In both periods, a large portion of the net use of cash arising from changes in operating assets and liabilities was due to a reduction in the balance of our deferred revenue. Many of our European and Japanese customers renew their maintenance contracts in January and April of each year. As such, we experience seasonal decreases in our deferred revenue in our first and second fiscal quarters, which, in turn, reduces our cash generated from operations.

      Investing activities provided $886,000 of cash in the first half of fiscal 2005 and $915,000 in the same period of the previous year. In the first half of fiscal 2005, sales and maturities of marketable securities provided $2.0 million of cash, which was partially offset by purchases of fixed assets and the capitalization of software development costs which, in total, consumed $1.1 million of cash. In the first half of fiscal 2004, sales

30


 

and maturities of marketable securities provided $1.8 million of cash, which was partially offset by purchases of fixed assets and the capitalization of software development costs which, in total, consumed $902,000 of cash.

      Net cash of $504,000 and $210,000 was provided by financing activities in the first half of fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. In both periods, this cash was generated by exercises of employee stock options for common stock and proceeds received for common stock under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

      We are authorized to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of our common stock. We did not purchase any such shares in fiscal 2004, nor have we purchased any such shares in the first six months of fiscal 2005.

      We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and available lines of credit will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months following the date of this report. Capital expenditure requirements for fiscal 2005 are expected to be approximately $2.0 million. We also expect to continue to capitalize costs related to our software development activities in an annual amount similar to, or less than, those experienced in the entire of fiscal 2004, which totaled $856,000. Long term cash requirements, other than normal operating expenses, are anticipated for the continued development of new products; financing anticipated growth and the possible acquisition of businesses, software products or technologies complementary to our business. On a long-term basis or to complete acquisitions in the short term, we may require additional external financing through credit facilities, sales of additional equity or other financing vehicles. There can be no assurance that such financing can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all.

Contractual Obligations

      The following table summarizes our significant financial contractual obligations at December 25, 2004 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods. This table excludes amounts already recorded on our balance sheet as current liabilities at December 25, 2004.

      In January 2005, we entered into a seven-year operating lease for a facility that will serve as the Company’s new headquarters. Future operating lease commitments are approximately $3.1 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

      We do not have any special purpose entities or off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

      In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 151, “Inventory Costs.” This Statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing”, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material. This Statement requires that those items be recognized as current period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “abnormal”. In addition, this

31


 

Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 will be effective for our 2006 fiscal year. We believe the adoption of this Statement will not have a material impact on the results of our operations.

      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” (“FAS No. 123(R)”) which revises SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and requires companies to expense the fair value of employee stock options and other forms of stock-based compensation. In addition to revising FAS 123, FAS No. 123(R) supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and amends FASB Statement No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” SFAS No. 123(R) will be effective for our 2006 fiscal year. We are currently assessing the impact of this Statement on our share-based compensation programs. However, we expect that the requirement to expense stock options and other equity interests that have been or will be granted to employees will significantly increase our operating expenses and result in lower earnings per share.

Impact of Inflation

      We believe that our revenue and results of operations have not been significantly impacted by inflation. We do not believe that our revenue and results of operations will be significantly impacted by inflation in future periods.

Risk Factors and Important Factors That May Affect Future Results

      You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties prior to making an investment in our common stock. These risks and uncertainties may also cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in or predicted by our forward-looking statements.

 
Our business model is changing as we further develop and exploit our Manufacturing Solutions products, and our reorganization of our sales, marketing and support staff along business unit lines may result in disruption in our sales.

      The development and implementation of a robust set of Manufacturing Solutions products has required that we devote significant research and development, marketing and executive level resources to this product family. Further expenditures of time and effort will be required in order to maximize the potential of this set of products. In January 2004, we completed the acquisition of AMSI, a provider of hot runner process controllers, with products focused solely on the manufacturing market. In connection with this acquisition, we reorganized our business into two strategically focused business units, one focused on Design Analysis Solutions products and one on Manufacturing Solutions products. This change in organizational structure may lead to further disruption in our business operations, as we have split our direct sales force into product-specific sales forces, each of which are reporting directly to the responsible business unit leader. Our results of operations could be adversely affected by significant delays in developing, completing or shipping our new or enhanced Manufacturing Solutions products as well as by delays in acceptance of these products by customers. Because these products interact with other factory or enterprise-wide systems, we may be required to provide additional functionality or services, which may delay the recognition of revenue. Further, our acquisition of AMSI may delay the development and completion of our Manufacturing Solutions products as we seek to integrate newly acquired technology into our product platform. Our Manufacturing Solutions business unit is managed by the former chief executive officer and sole stockholder of AMSI and our ability to successfully integrate and further develop the AMSI business will be dependent on our ability to retain this employee.

 
A general economic slowdown, particularly in our end markets, may continue to impact our results.

      The demand for our products is largely driven by the demand for the products in our primary end markets. Many of these end markets, particularly the automotive, telecommunications and electronics industries experienced severe economic declines which significantly and adversely affected our business in fiscal 2002 and 2003. While general economic trends have improved in some geographic markets, continuation

32


 

of this general economic slowdown, particularly in the discrete manufacturing industry, could materially and adversely affect us by decreasing our revenue as compared to prior years, or by lowering our revenue growth.
 
We are dependent on third parties such as resellers and distributors to distribute a substantial portion of our Manufacturing Solutions products.

      Following the acquisition of AMSI, we now distribute a substantial portion of our Manufacturing Solutions products through a network of independent, regional channel partners. In addition, we are adding more channel partners in geographically dispersed locations in order to sell our products to new customers. The channel partners sell our products to new and existing customers, expand installations within their existing customer base, offer consulting services and provide the first line of technical support. Consequently, we are highly dependent on the efforts of the channel partners. Difficulties in ongoing relationships with channel partners, such as delays in collecting accounts receivable, failure to meet performance criteria or to promote our products as aggressively as we expect, and differences in the handling of customer relationships could adversely affect our performance. Additionally, the loss of any major channel partner for any reason, including a channel partner’s decision to sell competing products rather than our products, could have a material adverse effect on us. Moreover, our future success will depend substantially on the ability and willingness of our channel partners to continue to dedicate the resources necessary to promote our products and to support a larger installed base of our products following our acquisition of AMSI. If the channel partners are unable or unwilling to do so, we may be unable to achieve revenue growth with respect to the products sold primarily through this channel.

 
Our quarterly operating results are subject to significant fluctuations and, as a result, period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indicators of future performance.

      We have experienced significant historical fluctuations in our results of operations on a quarterly basis. We expect to continue to experience significant fluctuations in our future quarterly results of operations due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, including:

  •  seasonal slowdowns, in particular, in our first fiscal quarter, in many of the markets in which we sell our products,
 
  •  changes in the mix of products and services we provide because sales of our Manufacturing Solutions products and our services have resulted in lower gross margins and have resulted in a longer selling cycle, which effect may be more significant following the acquisition of AMSI, which will result in a higher percentage of sales coming from our Manufacturing Solutions products as compared to our Design Analysis Solutions products,
 
  •  the timing and magnitude of capital expenditures, including costs relating to the expansion of our operations and infrastructure, and planned program spending, such as that required for major marketing initiatives or tradeshows,
 
  •  introductions of new services or enhancements by us and our competitors and changes in our and our competitors’ pricing policies,
 
  •  our increased use of third parties such as distributors and resellers which may lessen the control we have over revenue and earnings during any particular period,
 
  •  the timing and magnitude of our tax expense, resulting from the globally distributed nature of our selling and research and development operations that may lead to increased taxable income in certain jurisdictions that may not yet be offset by losses in other tax jurisdictions,
 
  •  fluctuations in our tax rate from quarter to quarter due to the impact of discrete events, including the settlement of claims, the management of audits and other inquiries, the acquisition of other companies or other events,

33


 

  •  currency and exchange rate fluctuations, and
 
  •  timing and integration of acquisitions.

      In addition, like many software companies, we usually record a larger percentage of our quarterly revenue in the third month of the fiscal quarter. Also, our Manufacturing Solutions products may involve a longer selling cycle with corresponding larger order sizes which may lead to an inability to close on orders or make shipments in the period immediately preceding the end of the fiscal quarter. Accordingly, our quarterly results are often difficult to predict prior to the final days of the quarter.

 
Failure to comply with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in a timely fashion may have a negative impact on investor confidence.

      Under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2005, we will be required to assess the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and report that our internal control over financial reporting is effective. Our auditors must conduct an audit to evaluate management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and both attest that management’s report is fairly stated and express an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. To comply with Section 404, we have undertaken certain actions including a schedule of activities for the evaluation, test and remediation, if necessary, of our internal controls. Although we believe that our efforts will enable us to provide the required report and our independent auditors to provide their affirmative attestation and opinion as of fiscal 2005, we cannot be certain as to the timing of completion of our evaluation, testing and any required remediation due in large part to the fact that there is no precedent available by which to measure compliance. Although we believe we will be able to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 in a timely fashion, if we are unable to do so, we may be unable to assert that the internal controls over financial reporting are effective, or our auditors may not be able to render the required attestation concerning our assessment and the effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting. This may negatively impact investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have a material and adverse effect on our stock price.

 
If we experience delays in introducing new products or if our existing or new products do not achieve market acceptance, we may lose revenue.

      Our industry is characterized by:

  •  rapid technological advances,
 
  •  evolving industry standards,
 
  •  changes in end-user requirements,
 
  •  intense competition,
 
  •  technically complex products,
 
  •  frequent new product introductions, and
 
  •  evolving offerings by product manufacturers.

      We believe our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to anticipate or adapt to these factors and to offer on a timely basis products that meet customer demands. For example, the introduction of new products and services embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards can render our existing products obsolete. The development of new or enhanced products is a complex and uncertain process, requiring the anticipation of technological and market trends. We may experience design, manufacturing, marketing and other difficulties that could delay or prevent our development, introduction or marketing of new products and enhancements and result in unexpected expenses.

      Our growth and profitability also will depend upon our ability to expand the use and market penetration of our existing product lines as well as new products we introduce. Market acceptance of our products will

34


 

depend in part on our ability to demonstrate the cost-effectiveness, ease of use and technological advantages of our products over competing products.

                  Our acquisition of AMSI and any future mergers, acquisitions and strategic relationships may result in lost revenue caused by business disruptions and missed opportunities caused by the distraction of our management.

      In January 2004, we acquired American MSI Corporation, a privately held company specializing in development and sale of hot runner process controllers for the plastics processing industry. Further, we may engage in other acquisitions and strategic relationships in the future. We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates, and, if we do identify suitable candidates, we may not be able to make such acquisitions on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. If we merge with or acquire another company we will only receive the anticipated benefits if we successfully integrate the acquired business into our existing business in a timely and non-disruptive manner. We will have to devote a significant amount of time, management and financial resources to do so. Even with this investment of management and financial resources, the acquisition of AMSI or another business may not produce the revenues, earnings or business synergies that we anticipated. If we fail to integrate the acquired business effectively or if key employees of that business leave, the anticipated benefits of the acquisition would be jeopardized. The time, capital, management and other resources spent on an acquisition that fails to meet our expectations could cause our business and financial condition to be materially and adversely affected. In addition, acquisitions can involve non-recurring charges and amortization of significant amounts of acquired identifiable intangible assets that could adversely affect our results of operations.

                  If we become subject to intellectual property infringement claims, we could incur significant expenses and we could be prevented from offering specific products or services.

      Our products include proprietary intellectual property. We may become subject to claims that we infringe on the proprietary rights of others. In the United States and elsewhere, a significant number of software and business method patents have been issued over the past decade and the holders of these patents have been actively seeking out potential infringers. In addition, our Manufacturing Solutions products require interaction with an injection molding machine, the use and technology of which are subject to a wide variety of worldwide patents and other intellectual property protection. If any element of our products or services violates third-party proprietary rights, we might not be able to obtain licenses on commercially reasonable terms to continue offering our products or services without substantial re-engineering and any effort to undertake such re-engineering might not be successful. In addition, any claim of infringement could cause us to incur substantial costs defending against the claim, even if the claim is invalid, and could distract our management from our business. Any judgment against us could require us to pay substantial damages and could also include an injunction or other court order that could prevent us from offering our products and services.

                  We may lose sales if we are unable to protect important intellectual property.

      Our ability to compete effectively against other companies in our industry will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary rights in our technology. We may be unable to maintain the proprietary nature of our technology. While we have attempted to safeguard and maintain our proprietary rights, we do not know whether we have been or will be completely successful in doing so.

      We face the following risks in protecting our intellectual property:

  •  we cannot be certain that our pending United States and foreign patent applications will result in issued patents or that the claims allowed are or will be sufficiently broad to protect our technology,
 
  •  third parties may design around our patented technologies or seek to challenge or invalidate our patented technologies,
 
  •  patents of others may have an adverse effect on our ability to do business,

35


 

  •  the contractual provisions that we rely on, in part, to protect our trade secrets and proprietary knowledge may be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies for any breach and our trade secrets and proprietary information may be disclosed to the public,
 
  •  our trade secrets may also become known without breach of such agreements or may be independently developed by competitors,
 
  •  foreign countries, including some of those in which we do business, may reduce or limit the protection of our intellectual property rights and software piracy, particularly in certain countries in Asia, may result in lost revenue in those countries or to customers with worldwide operations, and
 
  •  the cost of enforcing our intellectual property rights may reduce our future profitability.

 
Our financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected by international business risks.

      The majority of our employees, including sales, support and research and development personnel, are located outside of the United States. Similarly, the majority of our revenue is derived from customers outside the United States and certain intellectual property is owned by subsidiary companies located outside the United States. Conducting business outside of the United States is subject to numerous risks, including:

  •  decreased liquidity resulting from longer accounts receivable collection cycles typical of certain foreign countries,
 
  •  decreased revenue on foreign sales resulting from possible foreign currency exchange and conversion issues,
 
  •  lower productivity resulting from difficulties managing our sales, support and research and development operations across many countries,
 
  •  decreased earnings based on changes in tax regulations in foreign jurisdictions or the timing of required tax payments in foreign jurisdictions that may not yet be offset by tax benefits arising from losses in other jurisdictions,
 
  •  lost revenue resulting from difficulties associated with enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through foreign legal systems,
 
  •  interruptions in our operations due to political and social conditions of the countries in which we conduct business,
 
  •  lost revenue resulting from the imposition by foreign governments of trade protection measures, and
 
  •  higher cost of sales resulting from import or export licensing requirements.

 
We have more limited financial and other resources than many of our competitors and potential competitors and may be unable to compete successfully against them.

      We operate in a highly competitive environment and may not be able to successfully compete. Companies in our industry and entities in similar industries could decide to focus on the development of software solutions for the design, analysis and manufacture of injection molded plastic parts. Many of these entities have substantially greater financial, research and development, manufacturing and marketing resources than we do. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced profitability and loss of market share.

 
Disruption of operations at our development or manufacturing facilities could interfere with our product development and production cycles.

      A significant portion of our computer equipment, source code and personnel, including critical resources dedicated to research and development, are presently located at operating facilities in Australia, the United States and Europe. Our manufacturing operations are performed in the United States and Ireland, using both in-house and contract manufacturing facilities. The occurrence of a natural disaster or other unanticipated

36


 

catastrophe at any of these facilities could cause interruptions in our operations and services. Extensive or multiple interruptions in our operations at our development or manufacturing facilities could severely disrupt our operations.
 
Our Manufacturing Solutions products may lead to product liability claims against us.

      Our Manufacturing Solutions products are installed directly on our customers’ injection molding machines and, in certain cases, automatically adjust the operation of these machines. As a result, it is possible that our customers may claim that our product interfered with the proper operation of their machines and may seek reimbursement for consequential and other damages from us. Although we expressly disclaim any liability for consequential or other damages in connection with our sale of these products, this disclaimer may not protect us from claims for damages from our customers and these claims may adversely affect our relationships with our customers or our reputation generally. In addition, our insurance coverage limits may not be adequate to protect us against any product liability claims that arise. This insurance is expensive and may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

 
We make estimates in determining our worldwide income tax provision.

      We make significant estimates in determining our worldwide income tax provision. These estimates are subject to many transactions, calculations and proceedings where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. Although we believe that our estimates are reasonable, the final outcome of tax matters and proceedings could be different than the estimates reflected in the historical income tax provision and accruals. Such differences could have a material impact on income tax expense and net income in the period in which such determination is made. In the first quarter of fiscal 2005, one of our Australian subsidiaries became subject to an audit by the local taxing authority. The significant issues under review relate to the deductibility of certain costs and our utilization of net operating losses to reduce taxable income in the years between fiscal 1994 and 2001 by approximately $10.6 million, which amount was subject to an average effective tax rate of 35% over that time period. We believe the positions taken on our tax returns have merit and will be sustained upon audit. Accordingly, no liabilities have been recorded in our consolidated balance sheet related to this matter.

 
When we are required to expense options or other equity instruments granted under our employee stock plans as compensation, our net income and earnings per share will be significantly reduced.

      In the past, we have used stock options as a key component of our employee compensation packages. We believe that stock options provide an incentive to our employees to maximize long-term shareholder value and can encourage valued employees to remain with the Company. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” related to accounting for the grant of employee stock options and other equity instruments as an expense. When we implement this standard, our net income and earnings per share will be negatively impacted.

 
Our stock price is highly volatile and our stock price could experience substantial declines and our management’s attention may be diverted from more productive tasks.

      The stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. In addition, the per share price of our common stock has experienced significant volatility since we have been a public company. Many factors may cause the market price for our common stock to decline, including:

  •  revenues and operating results failing to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors in any quarter,
 
  •  downward revisions in securities analysts’ estimates or changes in general market conditions,
 
  •  changes in our senior management personnel,
 
  •  distribution or sale of shares of our common stock by insiders or affiliated persons, including the shares received by the selling stockholder in connection with the acquisition of AMSI, a portion of which have been registered for resale on Form S-3 and could therefore be sold at any time,

37


 

  •  technological innovations by competitors or in competing technologies,
 
  •  a decrease in the demand for our common stock,
 
  •  investor perception of our industry or our prospects, and
 
  •  general technology or economic trends.

      In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been the subjects of securities class action litigation. We may be involved in securities class action litigation in the future. Such litigation often results in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources and could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

      We develop our products in research centers in Australia, the United Kingdom, France and the United States. We sell our products globally through our direct sales force and indirect distributor channels. As a result, our financial results are affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates, political climate and economic conditions in foreign markets. In the future, we expect to increase our international operations in our existing markets and in geographic locations where we do not have any operations now.

      We collect amounts representing a substantial portion of our revenues and pay amounts representing a substantial portion of our operating expenses in foreign currencies. As a result, changes in currency exchange rates from time to time may affect our operating results and our invested cash balances. During 2004, our consolidated cash balances were impacted favorably by the strengthening of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, particularly with respect to the Australian dollar. At December 25, 2004, we had $21.3 million of cash and cash equivalents invested in foreign currency accounts. Our consolidated cash position will continue to be impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We engage in hedging transactions designed to reduce our exposure to changes in currency exchange rates. However, we cannot be sure that any efforts we make to hedge our exposure to currency exchange rate changes will be successful.

      Our invested cash balances are subject to interest rate risk and, as a result, changes in interest rates from time to time may affect our operating results. We invest our excess cash balances in interest bearing instruments, including government and corporate bonds. At December 25, 2004, the fair value and principal amounts of our bond portfolio amounted to $13.7 million, with a yield to maturity of 2.35%. Our investments are limited to high grade corporate debt securities, government issued debt, municipal debt securities, money market funds and similar high quality instruments. In a declining interest rate environment, we would experience a decrease in interest income. The opposite holds true in a rising interest rate environment. Our interest income will fluctuate based upon changes in market interest rates and levels of cash available for investment. We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio to manage interest rate risk. However, given the relatively short maturities and investment-grade quality of our marketable securities portfolio, a sharp rise in interest rates should not have a material adverse effect on the fair value of these instruments. These instruments potentially expose us to credit risk; however, we place our investments in instruments that meet high credit quality standards, as specified in our investment policy guidelines. However, those guidelines limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issue, issuer or type of instrument.

      In addition, our accounts receivable from our customers expose us to credit risk. We believe that such credit risk is limited due to the large number of customers comprising our accounts receivable and their broad dispersion over geographic regions and industries.

Item 4.     Controls and Procedures

      As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we and our management recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the

38


 

desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that they believe that, as of December 25, 2004, our disclosure controls and procedures were reasonably effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. In compliance with the rules, we intend to continue to review and document our disclosure controls and procedures, including our internal control over financial reporting, on an ongoing basis, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
