NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1.    Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Docent, Inc. (the “Company”) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the information required to be included. Operating results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future periods, including the full fiscal year. Reference should also be made to the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes thereto, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
 
2.    Net Loss Per Share
 
Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes potential common shares since their effect is antidilutive. Potential common shares are comprised of common stock subject to repurchase rights, incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options or warrants.
 
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the periods indicated (in thousands, except per share amounts):

3.    Restructuring Charges
 
During the third quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company announced and implemented restructuring actions to better align operating expenses with anticipated revenue. The Company recorded a $4.2 million restructuring charge, which consisted of $3.0 million in facility exit costs, $704,000 in employee severance costs, $224,000 in equipment impairment and $211,000 in other exit costs. The restructuring program resulted in a reduction in force across all company functions of approximately 11%, or 35 employees.
 
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company announced and implemented additional restructuring actions to better align operating expenses with anticipated revenue. The Company recorded a $1.9 million restructuring charge, which consisted of $779,000 in facility exit costs, $833,000 in employee severance costs, $144,000 in equipment impairment and $188,000 in other exit costs. The restructuring program resulted in a reduction in force across all company functions of approximately 16%, or 45 employees. These facility exist costs include an adjustment of $112,000 related to the restructuring recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2001. The adjustment reflects the reduction of the estimated sublease income of a particular vacated facility.
 
During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company announced and implemented additional restructuring actions to better align operating expenses with anticipated revenue. The Company recorded a $925,000 restructuring charge, which consisted of $886,000 in employee severance costs and $39,000 in other exit costs. The restructuring program resulted in a reduction in force across all company functions of approximately 17%, or 42 employees.
 
During the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company announced and implemented additional restructuring actions to better align operating expenses with anticipated revenue. The Company recorded a $3.1 million restructuring charge, which consisted of $2.1 million in facility exit costs, $822,000 in employee severance costs, $163,000 in equipment impairment, and $27,000 in other exit costs. The restructuring program resulted in a reduction in force across all company functions of approximately 17%, or 36 employees.
 
During the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company increased its estimate of the total costs associated with the above restructuring activities and recorded an adjustment of $298,000. The adjustment reflects the reduction of the estimated sublease income of one vacated facility of $372,000, offset by the settlement of another lease obligation of $74,000.

5.    Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
Goodwill and intangible assets arose from the Company’s acquisition of the business of gForce Systems, Inc. Goodwill was subsequently reduced by $140,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to $760,000, due to the settlement of a liability for an amount less than what was recorded at the time of the merger. The intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from fourteen to thirty six months and consist of (in thousands):

6.    Segment Reporting
 
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 131, “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” (“SFAS 131”), requires that companies report separately in the financial statements certain financial and descriptive information about operating segments, profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense items and segment assets. Additionally, companies are required to report information about the revenue derived from their products and service groups, about geographic areas in which the company earns revenue and holds assets, and about major customers. The Company has one reporting segment.

7.    Recent Pronouncements
 
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The new rules require business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and goodwill acquired after this date will no longer be amortized, but will be subject to annual impairment tests. Application of non-amortization provisions of Statement 142 is not expected to result in change to results of operations in 2002, as there was no goodwill being amortized in 2001. All other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives.The Company performed the first of the required impairment tests of goodwill as of January 1, 2002. No impairment of goodwill was determined as of January 1, 2002. The Company intends to do an annual impairment test of goodwill associated with the gForce purchase as of October 1, 2002. If the current business environment remains at its current levels and the Company’s market value remains lower than its book value, an impairment charge for all, or a portion, of the goodwill and intangibles book value may be required.
 
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (FAS 144), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations for a disposal of a segment of a business. FAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, with earlier application encouraged. The Company adopted FAS 144 as of January 1, 2002 and the adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
 
8.    Contingencies
 
From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising from the Company’s ordinary course of business. The Company believes that there are no claims or actions pending or threatened, the ultimate disposition of which would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
9.    Income Taxes
 
The Company incurred operating losses for all periods from inception through June 30, 2002, and therefore has not recorded a provision for U.S. income taxes. The Company recorded a provision for foreign and state income taxes of $46,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, and $94,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company recorded a provision for foreign income taxes of $24,000 and $44,000, respectively. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of its net deferred tax assets.

10.    Related Party
 
In March 2000, the Company entered into an alliance agreement with Accenture, which is a shareholder of the Company and one of whose retired partners is a director of the Company. The alliance agreement provides for the resale of the Company’s software products and services by Accenture, the submission of joint proposals to potential clients where either the Company would be subcontracting its services to Accenture or Accenture would be subcontracting its services to the Company; the alliance agreement also provides for revenue sharing. The alliance agreement is for an initial term of three years, terminating on March 31, 2003, with either party having the right to terminate the agreement without cause on 60 days’ notice. At June 30, 2002, the Company believes Accenture held approximately 793,000 shares of its common stock and had warrants to purchase an additional 2,396,000 shares at $7.52 per share. These warrants expire on March 31, 2003. Accenture’s holdings in the Company’s common stock on a fully diluted basis on June 30, 2002 represented approximately 7.0% of outstanding shares its common stock.
 
As part of an alliance agreement, Accenture resells the Company’s software products to third party customers. In 2001, the Company recognized $864,000 of revenue from Accenture as part of this resale arrangement. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company recognized $324,000 of revenue from Accenture as part of this resale arrangement. Pricing for Accenture resale agreements represents the fair value of comparable resale agreements with the Company’s other reseller partners. In 2000, the Company sold to Accenture a Docent Enterprise software license for Accenture’s internal use and recognized $663,000 of associated revenue. Pricing for this internal use license represents the fair value of comparable agreements with unaffiliated third parties at the time of the sale.
 
A component of the alliance agreement with Accenture is revenue sharing. When Accenture introduces the Company to prospective third party customers, Accenture is entitled to a portion of the contracted license fee, if the Company sells a license directly to such prospective third party customers. The negotiated revenue sharing amounts range from 10% to 30%, based on the amount of time and effort it takes to complete each sale. The Company’s license revenue related to such sales is decreased by the revenue sharing amount due to Accenture. During 2001, the Company decreased its license revenue by $858,000, due to the revenue sharing agreement with Accenture. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company decreased its license revenue by $306,000, due to the revenue sharing agreement with Accenture. At June 30, 2002, the Company owed Accenture $208,000 related to license agreements signed that are subject to revenue sharing.
 
The Company subcontracted to Accenture $68,000 in 2001 and $11,000 in 2000 of consulting work for the Company’s third party customers. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company did not subcontract with Accenture any consulting work for its third party customers. Accenture charges the Company its standard hourly rates for consulting. Accenture subcontracted to the Company consulting work for Accenture’s third party customers in the amount of $337,000 during 2001 and $60,000 during 2000. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, Accenture subcontracted to the Company $5,000 of consulting work for its third party customers. The Company charges Accenture its standard hourly rates for consulting, and records such amounts as service revenue.
 
Concurrent with the alliance agreement, the Company entered into a consulting services agreement with Accenture pursuant to which the Company is currently committed to purchase $809,000 of consulting services from Accenture prior to April 1, 2003.

Item 2     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes thereto contained elsewhere in this document. Operating results for the three and sixth months period ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future periods, including the full fiscal year. Reference should also be made to the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes thereto, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Risk Factors contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
 
This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements relate to our future plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, and the assumptions underlying or relating to any of these statements. These statements may be identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “will” and similar expressions. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could contribute to such differences include those discussed in this document, such as a significant decrease in our cash level, a material change in our operating losses and a failure to realize the anticipated cash savings from the three and six months ended June 2002 restructuring programs. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
 
Overview
 
We were incorporated in June 1997 to develop, market and sell eLearning products and services. We provide infrastructure software and related services that allow our customers to create, deploy and manage learning and knowledge exchanges over the Internet.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
 
    General
 
Discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill and intangible assets, allowance for deferred tax assets and restructuring. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates 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 materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
 
    Revenue Recognition
 
Our revenue recognition policy is significant because our revenue is a key component of our results of operations. We follow very specific and detailed guidelines in measuring revenue; however, certain judgments affect the application of our revenue recognition policy. Revenue results are difficult to predict, and any shortfall in revenue or delay in recognizing revenue could cause our operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter.
 
    Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
In assessing the recoverability of goodwill and other identified intangible assets we must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. If the current business environment remains at its current levels, and the Company’s stock price remains below book value, an impairment charge for all, and or a portion, of the goodwill and intangibles book value may be required.

Table of Contents
 
    Restructuring
 
During fiscal year 2001 and the six months ended June 30, 2002, we recorded significant reserves in connection with our restructuring programs. These reserves include estimates pertaining to the ability to sub-lease facilities closed in Sunnyvale and Mountain View, California. The actual costs may differ from these estimates. These estimates will be reviewed and potentially revised on a quarterly basis and to the extent that future vacancy rates and sublease rates vary adversely from those estimates, we may incur additional losses that are not included in the accrued facilities consolidation charge at June 30, 2002. Conversely, unanticipated improvements in vacancy rates or sublease rates, or termination settlements for less than our accrued amounts, may result in a reversal of a portion of the accrued balance and a benefit on our statement of operations in a future period. Such reversals would be reflected as a credit to facilities consolidation charges.
 
    Allowance for Deferred Tax Assets
 
A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce all of the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While we have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income or reduce loss and increase stockholders’ equity in the period such determination was made.
 
Sources of Revenue and Revenue Recognition
 
We generate revenue from the sale of our products and services to enterprises, system integrators, content providers, and reseller partners. To date, we have generated our license and services revenue primarily from direct sales, and referral sales from our system integrators, to enterprise customers. The remainder of our revenue has been derived primarily from our content providers.
 
Enterprise customers have the option of purchasing perpetual licenses or renting time-based licenses for the Docent Enterprise and Docent Exchange software. Our perpetual licensees pay an initial fee based on the number of users and may enter into annual maintenance contracts that include the right to receive periodic unspecified upgrades, error corrections, and telephone and Web-based support. Our time-based licenses require license holders to pay a monthly fee, which is based on the number of users and includes maintenance and support. Customers with perpetual or time-based licenses may also outsource to Docent the hosting of their system on a third party’s server for a monthly fee and an initial set-up fee.
 
In conjunction with the licensing of our software, we offer implementation and training services. To date, most of our enterprise customer revenue has been generated by perpetual software licenses and professional services.
 
We typically sign multi-year royalty agreements with our content providers to deliver their content over the Web. Under these agreements, we receive a minimum annual payment and a percentage of the revenue these content providers receive in excess of the minimum payment for content which they or third parties, such as resellers or system integrators described below, provide to customers. For that minimum payment, we provide our software and application hosting. In the first year of the agreement, as part of the minimum payment, we also provide professional services such as implementation and training. During subsequent years, these services are available for an additional fee. To date, almost all of our revenue from content providers has been insignificant and consisted of minimum annual payments.
 
We generate revenue from our reseller partners who purchase our products and maintenance services, together with content from our content providers, and resell them to their customers. To date, resellers have typically sold perpetual licenses of our software and annual maintenance agreements. They usually provide additional professional services themselves, but may also resell some of our professional services. Generally, they receive a discount from our list license prices. When they resell content from our content providers, our content providers would receive revenue that is included in the calculation of the royalties we are entitled to receive from our content providers as described above.
 
In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position 97-2, as amended, we recognize revenue from licensing our software if all of the following conditions are met:
 
 
 
There is persuasive evidence of an arrangement;
 
 
 
We have delivered the product to the customer;
 
 
 
Collection of the fees is probable; and
 
 
 
The amount of the fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable.

12


Table of Contents
 
For arrangements requiring customer acceptance, revenue recognition is deferred until the earlier of the end of the acceptance period or until written notice of acceptance is received from the customer. We consider all arrangements with payment terms longer than normal not to be fixed or determinable. Our normal payment terms currently range from “net 30 days” to “net 60 days.” For arrangements involving extended payment terms, revenue recognition occurs when payments are due.
 
For arrangements involving time-based licenses, customers pay a fee based on the number of users, and such fees include maintenance and support. Objective evidence of fair value does not exist for the related maintenance and support, as maintenance and support is not offered separately for such time-based arrangements. In these cases, we recognize the entire arrangement fee ratably over the contractual maintenance and support period, which is generally one year. We have allocated the time-based license and maintenance revenue based on their relative costs.
 
For arrangements involving a significant amount of services related to installation, modification or customization of our software products, we recognize revenue using the percentage-of-completion method. However, where there are customer acceptance clauses which we do not have an established history of meeting or which are not considered to be routine, we recognize revenue when the arrangement has been completed and accepted by the customer.
 
For arrangements which include multiple elements, such as a product license, maintenance and support, hosting and professional services, we allocate revenue to all undelivered elements, usually maintenance and support, hosting and professional services, based on objective evidence of the fair value of those elements. Fair value is specific to us and represents the price for which we sell each element separately. Any amount remaining is allocated using the residual method to the delivered elements, generally only the product license, and recognized as revenue when the conditions discussed above are satisfied.
 
We recognize revenue from fees for ongoing maintenance and support ratably over the period of the maintenance and support agreement, which is generally one year. We recognize revenue allocated to, or fees generated from, the separate selling of professional services as the related services are performed. Fees associated with hosting and application service provider (ASP) services are recognized ratably over the period of the hosting agreement, which is generally one year.
 
For arrangements with our content providers, the minimum fee is allocated among the separate elements, including professional services and hosting, based on the fair value of each of these elements. Any minimum royalty amount is recognized as revenue ratably over the period in which it is earned, which is generally one year. Any royalty over and above the minimum is recognized upon receipt of a revenue report from the content provider.
 
Revenue from sales to resellers is recognized upon the receipt of a purchase order or a sales contract from the reseller and when the end customer has been identified, provided all the conditions for revenue recognition set forth above have been met. No right of return exists for these sales.
 
Customer billings that have not been recognized as revenue in accordance with the above policies are shown on the balance sheet as deferred revenue.
 
Costs and expenses
 
Our cost of license revenue includes the cost of manuals and product documentation, production media and shipping costs. Our cost of service and maintenance revenue includes salaries and related expenses of our professional services organization and charges related to hosting activities and other third party services.
 
Research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expense categories include direct costs, such as salaries, employee benefits, travel and entertainment, and allocated communication, information technology, rent and depreciation expenses. Sales and marketing expenses also include sales commissions and expenditures related to public relations, advertising, trade shows and marketing campaigns. General and administrative expenses also include legal and financial services fees.
 
Stock-based compensation consists of two components. The first component is amortization of unearned stock-based compensation recorded in connection with stock option grants to our employees. This amount represents the difference between the deemed fair value of our common stock for accounting purposes on the date these stock options were granted and the exercise price of those options. This amount is included as a component of stockholders’ equity and is being amortized on an accelerated basis by charges to operations over the vesting period of the options, consistent with the method described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 28. The second component is the fair value of common stock and other equity instruments issued to non-employees in exchange for services. We use the Black-Scholes pricing model to estimate the fair value of other equity instruments granted to non-employees in accordance with Emerging Issue Task Force 96-18.

History of Losses
 
We have incurred significant costs to develop our technology and products and to build our engineering, sales, marketing, professional services and administration departments. As a result, we have incurred significant losses since inception and, as of June 30, 2002, had an accumulated deficit of $181.1 million. We believe our success depends on increasing our customer and partner base and continually enhancing our products. We expect to continue to incur operating losses through fiscal year 2002.
 
Results of Operations
 
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 and 2001
 
    Revenue
 
Total revenue decreased $2.3 million, from $8.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Total revenue decreased $1.3 million, from $16.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, to $14.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decreases in total revenue were primarily attributable to a decrease in licenses sales to new customers and less business referred from our reseller partners.
 
Total license revenue decreased $2.1 million, from $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Total license revenue decreased $1.9 million, from $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002.
 
Total service and maintenance revenue decreased $215,000, from $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Total service and maintenance revenue increased $494,000, from $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in service and maintenance revenue in the three month period ended June 30, 2002 was primarily attributable to decrease in the number of new customer implementations, partially offset by the cumulative effect of renewals of annual maintenance agreements. The increase in service and maintenance revenue in the six month period ended June 30, 2002 was primarily attributable to the cumulative effect of renewals of annual maintenance agreements.
 
In the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, no customer accounted for sales greater than 10% of the Company’s total revenues.
 
    Costs of revenue
 
Cost of license revenue decreased $24,000, from $50,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $26,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Cost of license revenue decreased for the three month period ended June 30, 2002 due to decreased license revenue. Cost of license revenue increased $5,000, from $72,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $77,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Cost of license revenue increased for the six months ended June 30, 2002 due to costs associated with Docent Exchange studio equipment in the first quarter of 2002, a gForce product acquired in October 2001.
 
Cost of service and maintenance revenue decreased $1.9 million, from $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Cost of service and maintenance revenue decreased $2.7 million, from $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, to $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decreases in the cost of service and maintenance revenue was due to decreased use of third party implementation service partners, decreased personnel in our professional services organization, and a decrease in stock-based compensation.
 
Expenses relating to third party implementation service partners decreased $1.1 million, from $2.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $850,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2002. Expenses relating to service and maintenance personnel decreased $575,000, from $2.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $1.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002. Stock-based compensation decreased $214,000, from $291,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $77,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2002.
 
Expenses relating to third party implementation service partners decreased $1.2 million, from $2.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $1.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002. Expenses relating to service and maintenance personnel decreased $1.0 million, from $4.1 million in the six months ended June 30,

2001 to $3.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002. Stock-based compensation decreased $452,000, from $646,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $194,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2002.
 
Service and maintenance gross profit (loss) percentage increased from (6%) gross loss for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to 37% gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Service and maintenance gross profit (loss) percentage increased from (8%) gross loss for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to 34% gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The increases in the both periods are primarily attributable to the improved billable utilization of employee consultants that perform implementation and other consulting services for customers.
 
Operating expenses
 
Stock-based compensation.    Stock-based compensation expense relating to common stock, options and warrants was a $3.3 million expense for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and $2.2 million credit for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Stock-based compensation expense relating to common stock, options and warrants was $7.1 million expense for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and $947,000 credit for the six months ended June 30, 2002.
 
Stock-based compensation is being expensed using an accelerated amortization method, thus more expenses were recorded early in the life of the options. The 2002 termination of certain Docent officers with unvested options, that had already been expensed under the accelerated method, created an overall stock-based compensation credit of $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and $947,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002.
 
Research and development expenses.    Research and development expenses were $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and the three months ended June 30, 2002. Research and development expenses increased $1.9 million, from $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, to $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The increase in the six month period was primarily attributable to increases in the number of external development consultants and research and development personnel, the cost of amortized developed and core technology from the gForce acquisition, partially offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation. To date, all software development costs have been expensed in the period incurred.
 
Stock-based compensation decreased $956,000, from $389,000 of expense in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to a credit of $567,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2002. This was partially off-set by expenses relating to research and development personnel increasing $545,000, from $2.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $2.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002. There was no amortization of developed and core technology expense in the three months ended June 30, 2001, compared to $359,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2002.
 
Expenses relating to research and development personnel increased $1.6 million, from $3.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $5.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002. Expenses relating to external development consultants increased $914,000, from $465,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $1.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002. There was no amortization of developed and core technology expense in the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to $719,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2002. This was partially off-set by stock-based compensation decreasing $1.2 million, from $825,000 of expense in the six months ended June 30, 2001 to a credit of $423,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2002.
 
Sales and marketing expense.    Sales and marketing expenses decreased $8.3 million, from $13.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Sales and marketing expenses decreased $13.4 million, from $26.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $12.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decreases in the three and six months periods were attributable to the decrease in the number of employees, stock-based compensation, and outside professional services and consultants.
 
Expenses relating to sales and marketing personnel decreased $5.9 million, from $10.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $4.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002. Stock-based compensation decreased $2.0 million, from $1.3 million of expense in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to a credit of $629,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2002.
 
Expenses relating to sales and marketing personnel decreased $9.1 million, from $19.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $10.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002. Stock-based compensation decreased $3.0 million, from $2.9 million of expense in the six months ended June 30, 2001 to a credit of $117,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2002. Expenses relating to outside services and consultants decreased $1.3

million in the six months ended June 30, 2002, from $1.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $328,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2002.
 
General and administrative expense.    General and administrative expense decreased $3.2 million, from $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $708,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. General and administrative expense decreased $4.4 million, from $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decreases in stock-based compensation expense, consulting fees for recruiting and investor relations, and legal and international accounting fees.
 
Stock-based compensation decreased $2.4 million, from $1.3 million of expense in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to a credit of $1.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002. Legal and accounting fees decreased $362,000, from $841,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $479,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Consulting fees decreased $299,000, from $318,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $19,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002.
 
Stock-based compensation decreased $3.3 million, from $2.7 million of expense in the six months ended June 30, 2001 to a credit of $601,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2002. Consulting fees decreased $605,000, from $686,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $81,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Legal and accounting fees decreased $526,000 from $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $843,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002.
 
Restructuring charge.    During the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company implemented restructuring programs to better align operating expenses with anticipated revenues.
 
During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company recorded a $925,000 restructuring charge, which consisted of $886,000 in employee severance costs and $39,000 in other exit costs. The restructuring program resulted in a reduction in force across all company functions of approximately 17%, or 42 employees.
 
During the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company recorded a $3.1 million restructuring charge, which consisted of $2.1 million in facility exit costs, $822,000 in employee severance costs, $163,000 in equipment impairment, and $27,000 in other exit costs. The restructuring program resulted in a reduction in force across all company functions of approximately 17%, or 36 employees.
 
During the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company increased its estimate of the total costs associated with the above restructuring activities and recorded an adjustment of $298,000. The adjustment reflects the reduction of the estimated sublease income of one vacated facility of $372,000, offset by the settlement of another lease obligation of $74,000.
 
We expect that the restructuring programs will save the Company approximately $2.6 million per quarter of cash.
 
    Interest expense, other income and expense, net, and interest income
 
Interest expense.    Interest expense decreased $75,000, from $121,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $46,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Interest expense decreased $57,000, from $193,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $136,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. These decreases were attributable to lower capital lease and equipment loan balances.
 
Other income and expense, net.    Other income and expense, net, increased $237,000, from $40,000 net expense for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $197,000 net income for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Other income and expense, net, increased $227,000, from $177,000 net expense for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $50,000 net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002. These increases were attributable to a foreign exchange gain, net of $261,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2002 and $215,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002.
 
Interest income.    Interest income decreased $806,000, from $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $245,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Interest income decreased $2.0 million, from $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $608,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. These decreases were the result of lower average cash and investments balances maintained by the Company, reflecting the use of cash to fund operations.

Provision for income taxes
 
We incurred operating losses for all periods from inception through June 30, 2002, and therefore have not recorded a provision for U.S. income taxes. We recorded a provision for foreign and state income taxes of $46,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, and $94,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. We recorded a provision for foreign and state income taxes of $24,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001, and $44,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. We have recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of our net deferred tax assets.
 
At December 31, 2001, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $93.3 and $41.4 million respectively, available to offset future taxable income. The Company’s federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards will expire in 2004 through 2021, if not utilized.
 
At December 31, 2001, the Company also has federal and state research and development credit carry-forwards of approximately $740,000 and $520,000, respectively. The federal carry-forwards will expire in 2018 through 2021, if not fully utilized.
 
Utilization of the net operating losses and credits may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credits before utilization.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily through the sale of equity securities, from which we raised net proceeds of $172.1 million through June 30, 2002. As of June 30, 2002, we had approximately $36.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and $14.0 million of short term investments.
 
Cash used in operating activities was $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to $23.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The cash used during these periods was attributable to net losses of $16.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and $27.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, cash used to fund net losses was partially off-set by a decrease in accounts receivable of $3.9 million. The decrease in accounts receivable is due to lower revenue levels and improved cash collections. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash used to fund net losses was less than the amount of such net losses because a component of net losses were non-cash compensation charges related to various equity instruments granted to employees and non-employees. Total expenses in relation to these grants were $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
 
The investment in property and equipment, excluding equipment acquired under capital leases, was $481,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2002 and was $1.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001. During the first six months of 2002, we sold $38.8 million of short term investments, partially offset by the purchase of $18.9 million of short term investments. During the first six months of 2001, we purchased $49.8 million of short and long term investments, partially offset by the sale of $38.5 million of short and long term investments.
 
Cash provided by financing activities was $237,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2002, and $363,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The cash provided by financing activities in the first six months of 2002 resulted from the repayment of stockholder receivables totaling $783,000, partially off-set by payments of notes payable and capital lease obligations of $516,000. The cash provided by financing activities in the first six months of 2001 resulted from proceeds from the employee stock purchase plan of $1.1 million, partially off-set by the payments of notes payable and capital lease obligations of $742,000.

We currently anticipate that our available cash resources will be sufficient to meet our presently anticipated working capital, capital expenditure and business expansion requirements for at least 12 months after the date of this filing. However, we may need to raise additional funds prior to this date to support a more rapid expansion, develop new or enhanced applications and services, respond to competitive pressures, acquire complementary businesses or technologies, or take advantage of unanticipated opportunities.
 
Related Party
 
In March 2000, we entered into an alliance agreement with Accenture, which is a shareholder of ours and one of whose retired partners is a director of the Company. The alliance agreement provides for the resale of our software products and services by Accenture, the submission of joint proposals to potential clients where either we would be subcontracting our services to Accenture or Accenture would be subcontracting its services to us; the alliance agreement also provides for revenue sharing. The alliance agreement is for an initial term of three years, terminating on March 31, 2003, with either party having the right to terminate the agreement without cause on 60 days’ notice. At June 30, 2002, we believe Accenture held approximately 793,000 shares of our common stock and had warrants to purchase an additional 2,396,000 shares at $7.52 per share. These warrants expire on March 31, 2003. Accenture’s holdings in our common stock on a fully diluted basis on June 30, 2002 represented approximately 7.0% of outstanding shares of our common stock.
 
As part of the alliance agreement, Accenture resells our software products to third party customers. In 2001, we recognized $864,000 of revenue from Accenture as part of this resale arrangement. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, we recognized $324,000 of revenue from Accenture as part of this resale arrangement. Pricing for Accenture resale agreements represents the fair value of comparable resale agreements with our other reseller partners. In 2000, we sold to Accenture a Docent Enterprise software license for Accenture’s internal use and recognized $663,000 of associated revenue. Pricing for this internal use license represents the fair value of comparable agreements with unaffiliated third parties at the time of the sale.
 
A component of the alliance agreement with Accenture is revenue sharing. When Accenture introduces Docent to prospective third party customers, Accenture is entitled to a portion of the contracted license fee, if we sell a license directly to such prospective third party customers. The negotiated revenue sharing amounts range from 10% to 30%, based on the amount of time and effort it takes to complete each sale. Our license revenue related to such sales is decreased by the revenue sharing amount due to Accenture. During 2001, we decreased our license revenue by $858,000, due to the revenue sharing agreement with Accenture. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, we decreased our license revenue by $306,000, due to the revenue sharing agreement with Accenture. At June 30, 2002, we owed Accenture $208,000 related to license agreements signed that are subject to revenue sharing.
 
Docent subcontracted to Accenture $68,000 in 2001 and $11,000 in 2000 of consulting work for our third party customers. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, Docent did not subcontract with Accenture any consulting work for our third party customers. Accenture charges us its standard hourly rates for consulting. Accenture subcontracted to us consulting work for Accenture’s third party customers in the amount of $337,000 during 2001 and $60,000 during 2000. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, Accenture subcontracted to us $5,000 of consulting work for its third party customers. Docent charges Accenture its standard hourly rates for consulting, and records such amounts as service revenue.
 
Concurrent with the alliance agreement, we entered into a consulting services agreement with Accenture pursuant to which we are currently committed to purchase $809,000 of consulting services from Accenture prior to April 1, 2003.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The new rules require business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and goodwill acquired after this date will no longer be amortized, but will be subject to annual impairment tests. Application of the non-amortization provisions of Statement 142 is not expected to result in any change to results of operations in 2002, as there was no goodwill being amortized in 2001. All other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company performed the first of the required impairment tests of goodwill as of January 1, 2002. No impairment of goodwill was determined as of January 1, 2002. The Company intends to do an annual impairment test of goodwill associated with the gForce purchase as of October 1, 2002. If the current business environment remains at its current levels and the Company’s market value remains lower than its book value, an impairment charge for all, or a portion, of the goodwill and intangibles book value may be required.

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (FAS 144), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations for a disposal of a segment of a business. FAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001., with earlier application encouraged. The Company adopted FAS 144 as of January 1, 2002 and the adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
