Comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on investment securities that have been reflected as a component of shareholders’ equity and have not affected net income (loss). The amount of income tax expense or benefit allocated to unrealized gains or losses on investment securities is equivalent to the effective tax rate in each of the respective periods. Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised, net of tax, as follows (in thousands):

During the second quarter of 2002, the Company’s management approved and initiated a restructuring plan designed to reduce its cost structure and integrate certain company functions. Accordingly, the Company recognized a restructuring charge of approximately $4.0 million during the second quarter of 2002. The restructuring charges consist of workforce reduction costs across all geographic regions and functions and excess facilities consolidation costs related to lease commitments for space no longer needed to support ongoing operations and fixed asset impairments. The estimated facility costs were based on the Company’s contractual obligations, net of assumed sublease income, based on current comparable rates for leases in their respective markets. Should facilities operating lease rental rates continue to decrease in these markets or should it take longer than expected to find a suitable tenant to sublease these facilities, the actual loss could exceed this estimate. Future cash outlays are anticipated through December 2005, unless the Company negotiates to exit the leases at an earlier date. Asset impairments consist primarily of leasehold improvements, computer equipment and related software, and furniture and fixtures. The restructuring plan will result in the elimination of approximately 78 positions worldwide, 74 of which were eliminated as of June 30, 2002.

On December 6, 2001, a securities class action complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, three of its officers and directors, and certain of the underwriters in the Company’s initial public offering in November 1999 and its follow-on offering in March 2000. This complaint was amended April 19, 2002. The amended complaint seeks damages or rescission for misrepresentations or omissions in the prospectuses relating to, among other things, the alleged receipt of excessive and undisclosed commissions by the underwriters in connection with the allocation of shares of common stock in the Company’s public offerings. While the Company believes that the claims against it and its officers and directors are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against these allegations, the litigation could result in substantial costs and divert the Company’s attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, liquidity and financial condition.

The carrying amount of goodwill was $190.3 million and $189.3 million at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The increase of approximately $1.0 million resulted from the reclassification of acquired workforce to goodwill of $6.6 million and this increase was offset by the 317,244 shares of the Company’s common stock received back from Phobos in connection with the escrow settlement, which reduced goodwill by $5.0 million, and other adjustments totaling $600,000.

In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 (“SFAS No. 143”), Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting requirements for retirement obligations associated with retirement of tangible long-lived assets and for the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 requires a company to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. When the retirement obligation is initially recorded, the Company also records a corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related tangible long-lived asset and depreciates that cost over the useful life of the tangible long-lived asset. The retirement obligation is increased at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the initial fair value measurement. Upon settlement of the retirement obligation, the Company either settles the retirement obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, with earlier application encouraged. Accordingly, SFAS No. 143 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2003. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, SFAS No. 143 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred and states that an entity’s commitment to exit plan, by itself, does not create a present obligation that meets the definition of a liability. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 146 to have a material impact upon the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

These statements are only predictions, and they are subject to risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth herein under the heading “Risk Factors” and also under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

SonicWALL designs, develops, manufactures and sells Internet security infrastructure products designed to provide secure Internet access to broadband customers, enable secure Internet-based connectivity for distributed organizations and process secure transactions for enterprises and service providers. We believe our access security appliances provide high performance, robust, reliable, easy-to-use and affordable Internet firewall security and virtual private networking (“VPN”) functionalities. We also sell value-added security applications for our access security appliances including content filtering and vulnerability assessment services, digital certificates and anti-virus protection on an annual subscription basis. Our transaction security products provide high performance SSL acceleration and offloading to enable service providers and enterprises to deploy e-commerce and web-based applications without degrading web server performance. We sell our products primarily to customers in the small to medium enterprise, e-commerce, service provider, branch office and telecommuter markets. As of June 30, 2002, we have sold more than 280,000 of our Internet security appliances worldwide.

From inception through 1996, we derived substantially all of our revenue from the development and marketing of networking products for Apple Macintosh computers. These products enabled Apple Macintosh computers to connect to computer networks using Ethernet communications standards. The Ethernet standard was developed in the 1970s by Xerox Corporation and is the most widely used technology to facilitate communication between computers on local area networks. The Ethernet standard is defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and specifies the speed and other characteristics of a computer network. In 1998, we made a strategic business decision to concentrate our resources in the Internet security market. As a result, we stopped shipments of our Ethernet product line during December 1999. In October 1997, we introduced our first Internet security appliance, the SonicWALL DMZ, and began volume shipments in 1998. We have since focused all our development, marketing and sales efforts on the Internet security appliance market, and we have progressively introduced a broad line of Internet security products and services from 1998 through the middle of 2002.

believe are high performance, easy to install and cost-effective. With current suggested retail prices ranging from $495 to $29,995, our products are designed to enable customers to reduce purchase costs and avoid hiring costly information technology personnel for Internet security. By using an embedded single purpose operating system and a solid state hardware design without moving parts, our products maximize reliability and uptime. The SonicWALL access security products can be used in networks ranging in size from 1 to 10,000 users and are fully compatible with VPN technology from more expensive enterprise security solutions offered by, among others, Check Point Software, Nortel Networks and Cisco.

To date, a significant portion of our revenue has been dependent on large purchase orders from a limited number of distributors. These purchase orders typically have short lead times and are subject to delay or cancellation without penalty. We anticipate that our operating results for a given period will continue to depend on a small number of customers. If we experience a decline in revenue from any of our significant distributors in a given quarter, our revenue for that quarter, or following quarters, will be adversely affected. This could adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, if any of our significant customers experience financial difficulties, our sales to these customers may be reduced, and we may have difficulty collecting accounts receivable from these customers. Any delay in large customer orders or customer financial difficulties could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

On November 14, 2000, we acquired Phobos Corporation (“Phobos”) for $216.5 million in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. Phobos designed, developed and sold scaleable SSL solutions for Internet service providers, application service providers, e-commerce companies and web hosting and enterprise network operations centers. Under the terms of the merger, 0.615 shares of our common stock were exchanged for each share of outstanding Phobos common stock at November 14, 2000, the closing date of the merger. In connection with the merger, we issued 9,906,000 shares of our common stock, and options and warrants to purchase 2,294,000 shares of our common stock. The total purchase price was based upon the average fair value of our common stock for five trading days surrounding the date the acquisition was announced. In addition, we paid $30 million in cash to the shareholders of Phobos based upon their pro-rata ownership percentage in Phobos. The merger agreement also provided for up to an additional $20 million in cash to be payable upon achievement of certain quarterly revenue targets during 2001, of which $4 million was earned and recorded as additional goodwill. Payments in the amount of $3 million and $1 million were made in 2001 and 2002, respectively. During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, we received 317,244 shares of our common stock back from Phobos in connection with the escrow settlement, which resulted in a reduction of goodwill of $5.0 million.

On March 8, 2001, we acquired Ignyte Technology, Inc. (“Ignyte”) in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. Ignyte provided in-depth consulting, design and support for enterprise networking customers, as well as management of their Internet security needs. As of the acquisition date we recorded the fair value of Ignyte’s assets and liabilities. The total purchase price of $10.2 million was based upon the average fair value of our common stock for five trading days surrounding the date the acquisition was announced. The purchase price consisted of 735,000 shares of our common stock issued for common stock and options of Ignyte and valued at approximately $8,975,000, $685,000 in cash consideration and $600,000 in closing costs.

On October 25, 2001, we acquired substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of RedCreek Communications, Inc. (“RedCreek”) in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. RedCreek developed and sold standards-based Internet security products for corporate data communications networks that enable the secure transmission of data between offices over the Internet. As a result of this acquisition, we expect to expand our enterprise market share. At the closing of the acquisition, we paid $12.5 million in cash, assumed certain current accounts payable and other liabilities of RedCreek, and forgave repayment of bridge loan amounts payable by RedCreek to us that were used by RedCreek to fund its operating expenses from the date the purchase agreement was signed until the closing of the acquisition. We also assumed RedCreek’s 2001 stock option plan and 206,500 options valued at $2,205,000 issued thereunder. In the event RedCreek products achieve certain quarterly sales targets during 2001 to 2003, we are obligated to pay additional purchase consideration of up to $4.5 million in cash, which payments would be recorded, if and when payable, as adjustments to goodwill. As of June 30, 2002, no additional payments have been made.

During the second quarter of 2002, we initiated a restructuring plan designed to reduce our cost structure and integrate certain company functions. Accordingly, we recognized a restructuring charge of approximately $4 million during the second quarter of 2002. The restructuring plan consists of workforce reductions across all geographic regions and functions and excess facilities consolidations related to lease commitments for space no longer needed to support ongoing operations and fixed asset impairments. The estimated facility costs were based on our contractual obligations, net of assumed sublease income, based on current comparable rates for leases in their respective markets. Should facilities operating lease rental rates continue to decrease in these markets or should it take longer than expected to find a suitable tenant to sublease these facilities, the actual loss could exceed this estimate. Future cash outlays are anticipated through December 2005, unless we negotiate to exit the leases at an earlier date. Asset impairments consist primarily of leasehold improvements, computer equipment and related software, and furniture and fixtures. The restructuring plan will result in the elimination of approximately 78 positions worldwide, 74 of which were eliminated as of June 30, 2002.

Product revenue. Revenue from sales of our products increased to $21.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $21.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001. Revenue from sales of our products increased to $41.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $41.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001. Our Small to Medium Enterprise (“SME”) products, including our TELE, SOHO, XPRS and PRO product lines, represented approximately 89% and 88% of product revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, compared to 86% and 90% of product revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively. Our transaction security and large network access security products, including our SSL and GX product lines and VPN products acquired from RedCreek, represented approximately 8% and 9% of product revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to 10% and 6% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, we generated approximately 3% of product revenues from certain legacy products of acquired entities that have generally been brought to end of life within the first year of combined operations. These revenues have been generated from network infrastructure products that are not part of our long-term product strategy. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, legacy product revenues represented 4% of product revenues.

We anticipate going forward a majority of our product revenues to be generated from the SME access security market. We will continue to reach this market through our distribution and OEM channels. We have established an enterprise sales team to address the needs of large enterprises. In addition to selling our GX and Global Management products into central sites of these large networks, we believe that successful penetration of these accounts is a means of furthering our penetration of the SME market, as the perimeter of these large networks are the branch office and telecommuter opportunities of the SME market. Our enterprise sales team is also selling our transaction security products into large enterprises; however this market is in an early stage of development and we do not expect transaction security revenues to represent more than 10% of total product revenues in the remaining six months of 2002.

License and service revenue. Revenue from licenses and services increased to $6.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $5.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001. Revenue from licenses and services increased to $14.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $10.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001. License and service revenue is comprised primarily of licenses and services such as VPN, anti-virus protection, content filtering and node upgrades that are sold into the installed base of access security appliances. In addition, we generate license and service revenues from extended service contracts, licensing of our Global Management software, licensing of our VPN ASIC, licensing of our firewall software, and professional services related to training, consulting and engineering services. Our installed base has grown from approximately 165,000 units at June 30, 2001 to approximately 280,000 units at June 30, 2002, and the increasing size of our installed base has been a primary contributor to the growth of our integrated license and service products. This growth has resulted from initial sales with new units as well as renewals of subscriptions for products such as

We expect the market opportunity for our upgrade and subscription products sold to our installed base to increase as our installed base grows. We are dedicating increased sales and marketing resources to sell into our installed base, and we are also focusing resources on marketing renewals for existing subscriptions. In addition, in December 2001, we introduced new service offerings across our product lines to provide our customers primarily maintenance releases of our firmware and technical support. We believe these products will help expand our subscription revenues. Revenues from the licensing of our software and ASIC technology are more difficult to predict. Unlike our upgrade and subscription products marketed to our installed base, we do not have dedicated sales and marketing resources to pursue licensing transactions for our technology, but rather we pursue these opportunities as they arise.

Historically, a significant component of our license and services revenues has been VPN upgrades, which have been offered to our customers as a separately licensed product after their initial purchase of an appliance. We continue to offer VPN upgrades to our customers that purchase products without bundled VPN functionality. However, there has been a trend in our market to offer VPN functionality as a bundled feature in a firewall product, and in response to this trend we have offered our customers the opportunity to purchase our products with bundled VPN functionality. Products sold with bundled VPN generate a higher average selling price than the same product without bundled VPN functionality. The result of this trend has been a decline in our VPN upgrade license revenues, and an increase in our product revenues due in part to the higher average selling prices realized from bundled VPN products. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, VPN upgrades represented approximately 10% and 12% of license and service revenues, respectively, compared to 28% and 28% of license and service revenues, respectively, for the same periods of the prior year. We expect this trend to continue as more of our customers choose to purchase VPN functionality through our bundled offerings. We expect long term license and service revenue to trend to approximately 20% to 30% of total revenue.

Cost of revenue; gross margin. Cost of revenue includes all costs associated with the production of our products, including cost of materials, manufacturing and assembly costs paid to contract manufacturers and related overhead costs associated with our manufacturing operations personnel. Additionally, warranty costs and inventory provisions or write-downs are included in cost of revenue. Cost of revenue increased to $7.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $6.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 primarily as a result of increased unit sales. Cost of revenue increased to $15.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $12.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001.

Gross margin decreased to 72.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from 75.9% in the three months ended June 30, 2001. Gross margin decreased to 72.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from 76% in the six months ended June 30, 2001. Our gross margin has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including competition; the mix and average selling prices of products; new product introductions and enhancements; fluctuations in manufacturing volumes; the cost of components and manufacturing labor; and the costs of providing technical support services under our service contracts. We must manage each of these factors effectively in order to maintain our gross margins levels.

Research and development. Research and development expenses primarily consist of personnel costs related to engineering and technical support, contract consultants, outside testing services and equipment and supplies associated with enhancing existing products and developing new products. Research and development expenses decreased by 13% to $4.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $5.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001. These expenses represented 16.0% and 19.1%, respectively, of revenue for such periods. Research and development expenses decreased by 9% to $9.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $10.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001. These expenses represented 17.1% and 20.5%, respectively, of revenue for such periods. These decreases were primarily attributable to restructuring efforts, lower spending on project materials and reduction in non-recurring engineering costs and fees paid to outside consultants. These decreases are partially offset by the October 2001 purchase of RedCreek which increased research and development costs related to additional personnel and increased product development and integration efforts. We believe that significant investments in research and development will be required to remain competitive.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of personnel costs, including commissions, costs associated with the development of our business and corporate identification, costs related to customer support, travel, tradeshows, promotional and advertising costs. Sales and marketing expenses increased 49% to $11.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $7.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001. These expenses were 41.2% and 28.8% of net sales for such periods, respectively. Sales and marketing expenses increased 60% to $23 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $14.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001. These expenses were 41.1% and 28.1% of net sales for such periods, respectively. The increase in absolute dollars was primarily related to the continued worldwide expansion of our sales and marketing organization, including growth in the domestic and international sales force, particularly in Europe, increased commission and bonus expenses related to higher unit volume, increased customer service expenses related to a larger installed base and increased travel expenses. The addition of RedCreek in October 2001 increased our worldwide organization with enterprise sales and marketing personnel. We expect to continue to increase our sales and marketing expenses in an effort to expand domestic and international markets, introduce new products and establish and expand new distribution channels and OEM relationships.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses were $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. These expenses represented 9% and 8.7% of total revenue for such periods, respectively. General and administrative expenses were $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. These expenses represented 9.5% and 8.4% of total revenue for such periods, respectively. The increase in absolute dollars was primarily related to increased personnel costs, expenses related to increased costs related to investor relations, shareholder matters and professional service fees. We believe that general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars and relatively stable as a percentage of total revenue as we continue to build our infrastructure.

Amortization of goodwill and intangibles. Amortization of goodwill and intangibles represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair market value of the net tangible assets acquired by us. Intangible assets, including existing technology, are being amortized over the estimated useful lives of three to six year periods. In accordance with SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill and intangibles related to acquired workforce are no longer being amortized effective January 1, 2002. Amortization of intangibles was $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. This amount represents $2.4 million, $87,000 and $38,000 relating to the amortization of intangibles associated with the acquisitions of Phobos, RedCreek, and Ignyte, respectively. Amortization of intangibles was $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This amount represents $4.7 million, $173,000 and $77,000 relating to the amortization of intangibles associated with the acquisitions of Phobos, RedCreek and Ignyte, respectively.

Restructuring charges. During the second quarter of 2002, we implemented a restructuring plan designed to reduce our cost structure and integrate certain company functions. Accordingly, we recognized a restructuring charge of approximately $4.0 million during the second quarter of 2002. The restructuring plan consists of workforce reductions across all geographic regions and functions and excess facilities consolidations related to lease commitments for space no longer needed to support ongoing operations and fixed asset impairments. The restructuring plan will result in the elimination of approximately 78 positions worldwide, 74 of which were eliminated as of June 30, 2002.

Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation was $0.2 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Stock-based compensation was $0.8 million and $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. These amounts primarily relate to the recognition of stock compensation of unvested options assumed in the Phobos and RedCreek acquisitions. We are amortizing deferred stock compensation over the vesting periods of the applicable options.

Interest income and other expense, net. Interest income and other expense, net consists primarily of interest income on our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, and was $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $2.5 million in the three months June 30, 2001. The fluctuations in the short-term interest rates directly influence the interest income recognized by us. Interest income and other expense, net was $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Interest rates for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 decreased over the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, resulting in lower interest income.

Benefit from (provision for) income taxes. The benefit from income taxes in the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $1.1 million as compared to a provision of $1.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001. The benefit from income taxes in the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $1.3 million as compared to a provision of $3.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001. In both periods, the provision or benefit for income taxes is based on an estimated effective rate for each of the respective calendar years. Our effective tax rate differs from the statutory federal and state tax rates for the three and six months of fiscal 2002 and 2001 due principally to the effect of amortization of stock-based compensation, goodwill and intangibles, which are permanent, non-deductible book/tax differences.

Our annual operating results have in the past varied and may in the future vary significantly depending on a number of factors including the level of competition; the size and timing of significant orders; product mix; market acceptance of new products and product enhancements; new product announcements or introductions by us or our competitors; deferrals of customer orders in anticipation of new products or product enhancement; changes in pricing by us or our competitors; our ability to develop, introduce and market new products and product enhancements on a timely basis; hardware component costs; supply constraints; our success in expanding our sales and marketing programs; technological changes in the Internet security market; the mix of sales among our sales channels; levels of expenditure on research and development; changes in our strategy; personnel changes; our ability to successfully expand domestic and international operations; general economic trends and other factors.

For the six months ended June 30, 2002, our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments increased by $6.1 million to $233.3 million as compared to an increase of $7.0 million to $226.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2001. Our working capital increased for the six months ended June 30, 2002 by $5.3 million to $229.8 million as compared to an increase of $19 million to $242 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, we generated cash from operating activities totaling $9.8 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2002, we generated cash from investing activities totaling $68.6 million, principally as a result of the net sale of $73.4 million of short-term investments offset by $2.3 million used to purchase property and equipment and $2.5 million used for the repayment of liabilities assumed upon the acquisition of other businesses. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was principally as a result of the net purchase of approximately $57.6 million of short-term investments and $1.6. million of property and equipment. In addition, $8.9 million was used for the repayment of liabilities assumed upon the acquisitions of other businesses.

We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements at least through the next twelve months. However, we may be required, or could elect, to seek additional funding prior to that time. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending to support product development efforts and expansion of sales and marketing, the timing of introductions of new products and enhancements to existing products, and market acceptance of our products. We cannot assure you that additional equity or debt financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Our sources of liquidity beyond twelve months, in management’s opinion, will be our then current cash balances, funds from operations and whatever long-term credit facilities we can arrange. We have no other agreements or arrangements with third parties to provide us with sources of liquidity and capital resources beyond twelve months.

We do not have any other debt, long-term obligations or long-term capital commitments. See Note 9 to the December 31, 2001 Consolidated Financial Statements filed on Form 10-K for information regarding our operating leases. As of December 31, 2001, our aggregate future minimum lease commitments through 2006 totaled $8.9 million. At June 30, 2002, the Company currently outsources to one third-party contract manufacturer and will have outstanding purchase obligations to this vendor for products to be built in the future.

In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 (“SFAS No. 143”), Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting requirements for retirement obligations associated with retirement of tangible long-lived assets and for the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 requires a company to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. When the retirement obligation is initially recorded, we also record a corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related tangible long-lived asset and depreciate that cost over the useful life of the tangible long-lived asset. The retirement obligation is increased at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the initial fair value measurement. Upon settlement of the retirement obligation, we either settle the retirement obligation for its recorded amount or incur a gain or loss upon settlement. SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, with earlier application encouraged. Accordingly, SFAS No. 143 will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2003. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, SFAS No. 143 will have on our financial position and results of operations.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred and states that an entity’s commitment to exit plan, by itself, does not create a present obligation that meets the definition of a liability. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 146 to have a material impact on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

You should carefully review the following risks associated with owning our common stock. Our business, operating results or financial condition could be materially adversely affected by any of the following risks. You should also refer to the other information set forth in this report and incorporated by reference herein, including our financial statements and the related notes. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

Overall weakness in the general economy and volatility in the demand for Internet security products are two of the many factors underlying our inability to predict our revenue for a given period. We base our spending levels for product development, sales and marketing, and other operating expenses largely on our expected future revenue. A large proportion of our expenses are fixed for a particular quarter or year, and therefore, we may be unable to decrease our spending in time to compensate for any unexpected quarterly or annual shortfall in revenue. As a result, any shortfall in revenue could adversely affect our operating results. For example, in the quarter ended March 31, 2002, we did not achieve our expected level of penetration of large enterprise networks, and as a result, our revenues were less than originally expected and our stock price declined.

To date, sales to two distributors have accounted for a significant portion of our revenue. In 2001, approximately 88% of our sales were to distributors and resellers, and Ingram Micro and Tech Data accounted for approximately 27% and 19% of our revenue, respectively. In 2000, approximately 84% of our sales were to distributors, and Ingram Micro and Tech Data accounted for approximately 32% and 20% of our revenue, respectively. In addition, in 2000 and 2001 and in the six months ended June 30, 2002, our top 10 customers accounted for 70% or more of total revenues. Although we have limited one-year agreements with Ingram Micro and Tech Data and certain other large distributors, these contracts are subject to termination at any time, and we do not know if these customers will continue to place orders for our products. We cannot assure you that any of these customers will continue to place orders with us, that orders by these customers will continue at the levels of previous periods or that we will be able to obtain large orders from new customers. If any of the foregoing should occur, our revenues will likely decline and our business will be adversely affected.

The average selling prices for our products may decline as a result of competitive pricing pressures, a change in our product mix, promotional programs and customers who negotiate price reductions in exchange for longer-term purchase commitments. For example, in the first quarter of 2002, we experienced pricing issues relating to our PRO product line due to rebates and incentives offered to our customers as well as a shift in mix between certain product lines. Together, these two factors reduced our overall average selling prices, and our product revenue for the first quarter of 2002 declined. In addition, competition has increased over the past year, and we expect competition to further increase in the future, thereby leading to increased pricing pressures. Furthermore, we anticipate that the average selling prices and gross margins for our products will decrease over product life cycles. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in developing and introducing on a timely basis new products with enhanced features, or that these products, if introduced, will enable us to maintain our average selling prices and gross margins at current levels.

The market for Internet security products is worldwide and highly competitive, and we expect competition to intensify in the future. There are few substantial barriers to entry, and additional competition from existing competitors and new market entrants will likely occur in the future. Current and potential competitors in our markets include, but are not limited to the following, all of which sell worldwide or have a presence in most of the major markets for such products:

longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. In addition, our competitors may bundle products competitive to ours with other products that they may sell to our current or potential customers. These customers may accept these bundled products rather than separately purchasing our products. If any of the foregoing were to occur, our business could be adversely affected.

We provide our major distributors with price protection rights for inventories of our products held by them. If we reduce the list price of our products, our major distributors receive refunds or credits from us that reduce the price of such products held in their inventory based upon the new list price. As of December 31, 2001, we estimated that approximately $8.0 million of our products in our distributors’ inventory are subject to price protection, which represented approximately 7.1% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001. We have incurred less than $100,000 of credits under our price protection policies in the past three fiscal years. Future credits for price protection will depend on the percentage of our price reductions for the products in inventory and our ability to manage the level of our major distributors’ inventory. If future price protection adjustments are higher than expected, our future results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

International revenue represented 31% of total revenue in 2001, 32% of total revenue in 2000, and 34% of total revenue in 1999. For the year ended December 31, 2001, revenue from Japan represented 10% of our total revenue, and revenue from all other international regions collectively represented approximately 21% of our total revenue. Our risks of doing business abroad include our ability to maintain distribution relationships on favorable terms, and if we are unable to do so, revenue may decrease from our international operations. Because our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, the weakness of a foreign country’s currency against the dollar could increase the price of our products in such country and reduce our product unit sales by making our products more expensive in the local currency. We are subject to the risks of conducting business internationally, including potential foreign government regulation of our technology, general geopolitical risks associated with political and economic instability, changes in diplomatic and trade relationships, and foreign countries’ laws affecting the Internet generally.

Our products incorporate certain components or technologies that are available from single or limited sources of supply. Specifically, our products rely upon microprocessors from Motorola and Intel and incorporate software products from third-party vendors. We do not have long-term supply arrangements with any vendor, and any disruption in the supply of these products or technologies may adversely affect our ability to obtain necessary components or technology for our products. If this were to happen, our product shipments may be delayed or lost, resulting in a decline in sales and a loss of revenue. In addition, our products utilize components that have in the past been subject to market shortages and price fluctuations. If we experience price increases in our product components, we will experience declines in our gross margin.

We outsource all of our hardware manufacturing and assembly primarily to one third-party manufacturer and assembly house, Flash Electronics, Inc. We do not have a long-term manufacturing contract with this vendor, and our operations could be disrupted if we have to switch to a replacement vendor or if our hardware supply is interrupted for an extended period. In addition, we provide forecasts of our demand to Flash Electronics up to six months prior to scheduled delivery of products to our customers. If we overestimate our requirements, our primary contract manufacturer many have excess inventory, which would increase our costs. If we underestimate our

requirements, our primary contract manufacturer may have an inadequate component inventory, which could interrupt manufacturing of our products and result in delays in shipments and revenues. In addition, lead times for materials and components that we order vary significantly and depend on factors such as the specific supplier, contract terms and demand for each component at a given time. We may also experience shortages of components from time to time, which also could delay the manufacturing of our products. If any of the foregoing occur, we could lose customer orders and revenue could decline.

We compete for employees in California’s Silicon Valley, one of the most difficult employer environments in the United States. Our future success will depend largely on the efforts and abilities of our current senior management and our ability to attract and retain additional key personnel. In August of 2002, our Chief Executive Officer, Cosmo Santullo, resigned. At this time Bill Roach, Senior Vice President of Partners, Alliances and Strategic Accounts, was appointed to the role of interim CEO. Future departures of key employees may be disruptive to our business and may adversely affect our operations. We do not maintain life insurance for any of our key personnel.

In October 2001, we acquired RedCreek Communications and have begun integrating the RedCreek technologies and product features into our product line. In particular, the RedCreek technologies are designed to address to needs of larger enterprise networking customers, and consequently, we anticipate that we will expand our market share in the enterprise market. Our experience in the larger enterprise market is relatively new, however, as sales of our small to medium enterprise products comprise a large majority of our revenues. If we fail to effectively integrate the RedCreek technologies into our products, or if potential customers do not purchase our larger enterprise products in the expected volumes, our revenues would be below our expectations and our results of operations would suffer.

Sales of our products depend on the increased use and widespread adoption of broadband access services, such as cable, DSL, Integrated Services Digital Network, or ISDN, Frame Relay and T-1. These broadband access services typically are more expensive in terms of required equipment and ongoing access charges than are Internet dial-up access providers. Our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected if the use of broadband access services does not increase as anticipated or if our customers’ access to broadband services is limited. Critical issues concerning use of broadband access services are unresolved and will likely affect the use of broadband access services. These issues include security, reliability, bandwidth, congestion, cost, ease of access and quality of service. Even if these are resolved, if the market for products that provide broadband access to the Internet fails to develop, or develops at a slower pace than we anticipate, our business would be materially adversely affected.

To succeed, we must continually introduce new products and change and improve our products in response to rapid technological developments and changes in operating systems, broadband Internet access, application and networking software, computer and communications hardware, programming tools, computer language technology and other security threats. Product development for Internet security appliances requires substantial engineering time and testing, and releasing new products and services prematurely may result in quality problems, and delays may result in loss of customer confidence and market share. In addition to developing new products, we have purchased a number of companies over the last few years and have integrated their products into our product line. We may be unable to develop new products and services or achieve and maintain market acceptance of them once they have

come to market. In the past, we have on occasion experienced delays in the scheduled introduction of new and enhanced products and services, and we may experience delays in the future. For example, we did not achieve our expected level of penetration of large enterprise networks in the first quarter of 2002, and as a result, our revenues were less than originally expected and our stock price declined. Furthermore, when we do introduce new or enhanced products and services, we may be unable to manage the transition from the older products and services to minimize disruption in customer ordering patterns avoid excessive inventories of older products and deliver enough new products and services to meet customer demand.

We currently rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws, confidentiality provisions and other contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may misappropriate or infringe on our patents, trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, service marks and similar proprietary rights. As of June 30, 2002, we have filed 14 United States patent applications, and we plan to aggressively pursue additional patent protection. Our pending patent applications may not result in the issuance of any patents. Even if we obtain such patents, that will not guarantee that our patent rights will be valuable, create a competitive barrier, or will be free from infringement. Furthermore, if any patent is issued, it might be invalidated or circumvented or otherwise fail to provide us any meaningful protection. We face additional risk when conducting business in countries that have poorly developed or inadequately enforced intellectual property laws. In any event, competitors may independently develop similar or superior technologies or duplicate the technologies we have developed, which could substantially limit the value of our intellectual property.

The computer industry has seen frequent litigation over intellectual property rights. We may face infringement claims from third parties in the future, or we may resort to litigation to protect our intellectual property rights or trade secrets. We expect that infringement claims will be more frequent for Internet participants as the number of products, services and competitors grows and the functionality of products and services overlaps. Any litigation, regardless of its success, would probably be costly and require significant time and attention of our key management and technical personnel. An adverse result in litigation could also force us to: stop or delay selling, incorporating or using products that incorporate the challenged intellectual property; pay damages; enter into licensing or royalty agreements, which may be unavailable on acceptable terms; or redesign products or services that incorporate infringing technology. If any of the above occur, our revenues could decline and our business could suffer.

Our products and services provide and monitor Internet security. If a third party were able to circumvent our security measures, such a person or entity could misappropriate the confidential information or other property of end users using our products and services or interrupt their operations. If that happens, affected end users or others may sue us for product liability, tort or breach of warranty claims. Although we attempt to reduce the risk of losses from claims through contractual warranty disclaimers and liability limitations, these provisions may be unenforceable. Some courts, for example, have found contractual limitations of liability in standard computer and software contracts to be unenforceable in some circumstances. Defending a lawsuit, regardless of its merit, could be costly and could divert management attention. Although we currently maintain business liability insurance, this coverage may be inadequate or may be unavailable in the future on acceptable terms, if at all. Our business liability insurance has no specific provisions for potential liability for Internet security breaches.

Because we provide Internet security, we may become a greater target for attacks by computer hackers. We will not succeed unless the marketplace is confident that we provide effective Internet security protection. Networks protected by our products may be vulnerable to electronic break-ins. Because the techniques used by computer hackers to access or sabotage networks change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques. Although we have not experienced any act of sabotage or unauthorized access by a third party of our internal network to date, if an actual or perceived breach of Internet

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” we classified our short-term investments as available-for-sale. Consequently, investments are recorded on the balance sheet at the fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. As of June 30, 2002, our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments included money-markets securities, corporate bonds, municipal bonds and commercial paper which are subject to no interest rate risk when held to maturity, but may increase or decrease in value if interest rates changes prior to maturity.

We consider our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations to be minimal. We invoice substantially all of our foreign customers from the United States in U.S. dollars and substantially all revenue is collected in U.S. dollars. For the year ended December 31, 2001, we earned approximately 31% of our revenue from international markets, which in the future may be denominated in various currencies. As a result, our operating results may become subject to significant fluctuations based upon changes in the exchange rates of some currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar and diverging economic conditions in foreign markets. Although we will continue to monitor our exposure to currency fluctuations, we cannot assure you that exchange rate fluctuations will not affect adversely our financial results in the future. In addition, we have minimal cash balances denominated in foreign currencies. We do not enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge exposures denominated in foreign currencies and do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

On December 6, 2001, a securities class action complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against us, three of our officers and directors, and certain of the underwriters in our initial public offering in November 1999 and our follow-on offering in March 2000. This complaint was amended April 19, 2002. The amended complaint seeks damages or rescission for misrepresentations or omissions in the prospectuses relating to, among other things, the alleged receipt of excessive and undisclosed commissions by the underwriters in connection with the allocation of shares of common stock in our public offerings. While we believe that the claims against us and our officers and directors are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against these allegations, the litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, liquidity and financial condition.
