OPENWAVE SYSTEMS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not contain all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Companys management (Management), the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Companys financial position as of December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2002, and the results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, and cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. The following information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002.
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2002 and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001 have been reclassified to conform to the December 31, 2002 presentation.
(2) Revenue Recognition
The Companys four primary revenue categories consist of the licensing of application software products, which include messaging products; the licensing of infrastructure software, which include the Companys Openwave Mobile Access Gateway; customer services, which include maintenance and support and professional services; and project revenues, which include porting services for large partners.
The Company licenses its software products primarily to communication service providers through its direct sales and channel partners. As part of its license arrangements with communication service providers, the Company offers new version coverage, which is an optional program that grants licensees the right to receive minor and major version releases of the product made during the applicable new version coverage term. Customers receive error and bug fix releases as part of their license maintenance and support arrangements.
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (SOP 97-2), as amended by SOP 98-9, Modification of 97-2 Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions, and generally recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred, (3) the fee is fixed or determinable and (4) collectibility is probable. The Company defines each of the four criteria above as follows:
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. It is the Companys customary practice to have a written contract, which is signed by both the customer and the Company, or a purchase order from those customers that have previously negotiated a standard license arrangement with the Company.
Delivery has occurred. The Companys software may be either physically or electronically delivered to the customer. For revenue recognition purposes, delivery is deemed to have occurred upon the earlier of notification by the customer of acceptance or commercial launch of the software product by the customer. If undelivered products or services exist in an arrangement that are essential to the functionality of the delivered product, delivery is not considered to have occurred until these products or services are delivered.
The fee is fixed or determinable. The Companys communication service provider customers generally pay a per subscriber fee for the Companys products which is negotiated at the outset of an arrangement. In these arrangements, the communications service provider generally licenses the right to activate a specified minimum number of their subscribers to use the Companys software products. Arrangement fees are generally due at least 80% within one year or less from delivery,

(Unaudited)
regardless of the number of customers the communication service provider has activated. Arrangements with payment terms extending beyond these customary payment terms are considered not to be fixed or determinable and revenue from such arrangements is recognized as payments become due. As the communications service providers activate customers beyond the minimum number specified in the arrangement, additional per-subscriber fees become due.
Collectibility is probable. Collectibility is assessed on a customer-by-customer basis. The Company typically sells to customers for whom there is a history of successful collection. New customers go through a credit review process, which evaluates the customers financial positions and ultimately their ability to pay. If it is determined from the outset of an arrangement that collectibility is not probable based upon the Companys credit review process, revenue is recognized on a cash-collected basis.
The Company allocates revenue on software arrangements involving multiple elements to each element based on the relative fair values of each element. The Companys determination of fair value of each element in multiple-element arrangements is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE). The Company limits its assessment of VSOE for each element to the price charged when the same element is sold separately. The Company has analyzed all of the elements included in its multiple-element arrangements and determined that it has sufficient VSOE to allocate revenue to new version coverage, maintenance and support services and professional services components of its perpetual license arrangements. Accordingly, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met, revenue from perpetual licenses is recognized upon delivery using the residual method in accordance with SOP 98-9, and revenue from new version coverage and maintenance and support services is recognized ratably over their respective terms with new version coverage being included in license revenues.
The Companys professional services generally are not essential to the functionality of the software. The Companys software products are typically fully functional upon delivery and do not require significant modification or alteration. Customers typically purchase professional services from the Company to facilitate the adoption of the Companys technology, but they may also decide to use their own resources or appoint other professional service organizations to provide these services. Software products are billed separately and independently from professional services, which are generally billed on a time-and-materials or milestone-achieved basis. For time and materials contracts, the Company recognizes revenue as the services are performed. For fixed fee arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue as the agreed upon activities are completed.
The Company also licenses its Openwave Mobile Browser software to wireless device manufacturers through its direct sales force and certain third parties. These license arrangements generally give the rights to receive product releases for porting to an unlimited unspecified number of devices. In addition, the Company provides technical support services and compliance verification. The arrangement fees are generally recognized ratably over the contract period.
The Company also enters into certain perpetual license arrangements where the license revenue is not recognized upon delivery but rather is recognized as follows:
| Contracts where the arrangement fee is not considered fixed or determinable. As discussed above, fees from such arrangements are recognized as revenue as the payments become due. |
| Certain arrangements where the Company agrees to provide the customer with unspecified additional products for a specified term which are not covered by the Companys new version coverage offering. Perpetual license revenue from such arrangements is recognized ratably over the term the Company is committed to provide such additional products. If such arrangements also provide for fee terms that are not considered to be fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized in an amount that is the lesser of aggregate amounts due or the aggregate ratable amount that would have been recognized had the arrangement fees been considered fixed or determinable. |
| Certain arrangements permit the customer to pay the Company maintenance and support fees based only on the number of active subscribers using the Companys software products, rather than the number of active subscribers for which the customer has committed to purchase license rights under the license agreement. Such arrangements cause an implied maintenance and support obligation for the Company relating to unactivated subscribers. The Company defers revenue equal to the VSOE of maintenance and support for the total commitment for the entire deployment period. If the deployment period is unspecified, the Company defers revenue equal to the VSOE of maintenance and support for the total commitment for the estimated life of the software. In either case, this additional deferral of maintenance and support revenue results in a smaller amount of residual license revenue to be recognized upon delivery. |

During the year ended June 30, 2002, the Company entered into a significant contract with a service partner, under which the Company will port its software to the service partners hardware/software platform in exchange for a predetermined reimbursement rate; and the partner will resell the Companys products and engage in other joint activities. The Company recognizes porting services revenue for this contract as project revenue in the Companys Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as the agreed upon activities are performed. With the adoption of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21 (EITF 00-21), the Company separates the reseller and porting activities related to the project and will recognize reseller revenues separately as they are earned. Cumulative revenues recognized may be less or greater than cumulative billings at any point in time during the contracts term. The resulting difference is recognized as unbilled accounts receivable or deferred revenue.
Cost of license revenues consists primarily of third-party license and related support fees. Cost of maintenance and support services revenues consists of compensation and related overhead costs for personnel engaged in training and support services to communication service providers and wireless device manufacturers. Cost of professional services revenues consists of compensation and independent consultant costs for personnel engaged in delivering professional services and related overhead costs. Cost of project revenues includes direct costs incurred in the performance of development services under the arrangement. Cost of project revenues does not include certain sales-related activities required under the arrangement, which are classified as sales and marketing expense.
(3) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 (SFAS 148), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure. SFAS 148 amends FASB Statement No. 123 (SFAS 123), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The transition guidance and annual disclosure provisions of SFAS 148 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The interim disclosure provisions are effective for financial reports containing financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company will be adopting SFAS 148 in its results of operations during the quarter ending March 31, 2003.
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, which clarifies disclosure and recognition/measurement requirements related to certain guarantees. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements issued after December 15, 2002 and the recognition/measurement requirements are effective on a prospective basis for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. As of December 31, 2002, the Company does not have any guarantees as defined under FASB Interpretation No. 45.
In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21 (EITF 00-21), Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. EITF 00-21 provides guidance on how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The Company adopted the provisions of EITF 00-21 in the quarter ended December 31, 2002, electing to retroactively apply the consensus. There was no cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle.
On July 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS No. 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS No. 144), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives up to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144. The Company has determined that it is a single reporting unit, as contemplated by SFAS No. 142, and it will perform the required annual impairment tests in the third quarter of its fiscal year. In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company completed its transitional goodwill impairment test required under SFAS No. 142,

(Unaudited)
and the Company recognized a transitional goodwill impairment loss of $14.5 million as of July 1, 2002, which was recorded as a Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in the Companys Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
SFAS No. 144 supersedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operation-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions. SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether they were previously held and used or newly acquired, and it also broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions. On July 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In July 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities. This statement requires that a liability be recognized at fair value for costs associated with exit or disposal activities only when the liability is incurred as opposed to at the time the Company commits to an exit plan as permitted under EITF Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit and Activity. Statement No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
(4) Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company operates internationally and is exposed to potentially adverse movements in foreign currency rate changes. The Company manages its foreign currency exchange rate risk by entering into contracts to sell or buy foreign currency to reduce its exposure to currency fluctuations involving probable anticipated and current foreign currency exposures. These contracts require the Company to exchange currencies at rates agreed upon at the inception of the contracts. These contracts reduce the exposure to fluctuations in exchange rate movements because the gains and losses associated with foreign currency balances and transactions are generally offset with the gains and losses of the foreign exchange forward contracts.
At December 31, 2002, the Company had foreign currency contracts in Euros and British Pounds Sterling. These contracts are accounted for on a marked-to-market basis, with realized and unrealized gains or losses recognized in the Companys Consolidated Statements of Operations. At December 31, 2002, the fair value of these contracts totaled $66,000 and were recorded in Accrued liabilities within the Companys Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following summarizes the Companys foreign currency contracts, which mature through March 2003, by currency as of December 31, 2002:

(6) Net Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock excluding shares issuable under stock options, shares of restricted stock subject to repurchase, and shares issuable pursuant to warrants to purchase common stock as summarized below. The following potential shares of common stock have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for all periods presented because the effect would have been anti-dilutive:

The weighted-average exercise price of stock options outstanding was $6.62 and $13.71 as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The weighted-average purchase price of restricted stock subject to repurchase was $0.11 and $0.43 as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The restricted stock subject to repurchase includes 800,000 shares of restricted stock that were granted to certain executive officers by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors during the quarter ended December 31, 2002, of which 300,000 shares vests one year after the date of grant and 500,000 shares vest ratably on a monthly basis over three years. The weighted-average exercise price of warrants was $2.44 and $2.39 as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

(7) Acquisition
In July 2002, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of SignalSoft Corporation (SignalSoft) in a cash tender offer. SignalSofts applications enable wireless location-based services. The results of SignalSofts operations have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition. The Company completed the acquisition for $63.8 million, of which the Company paid $2.26 for each outstanding share and fully vested stock option (net of exercise price) for a total of $58.6 million and $5.2 million in transaction accruals. The transaction accruals are comprised of $1.7 million in employee-related restructuring expenses, $1.5 million in facility costs, and $2.0 million for other expenses and commitments such as banking fees, legal fees, insurance fees and filing fees.
The net tangible assets of approximately $49.3 million are comprised of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $45.8 million, accounts receivable of $2.5 million, fixed assets of $4.0 million and other assets of $2.9 million offset by assumed liabilities of $5.9 million.
Approximately $400,000 of the purchase price represents the fair value of the acquired in-process research and development projects that had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no alternative use. Accordingly, this amount was expensed in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended December 31, 2002. The estimated fair value of these projects was based on their discounted cash flows. Additionally, approximately $6.1 million of the purchase price was allocated to developed and core technology, trademark/tradename portfolio and customer contracts and relationships. The majority of these intangibles will amortize over 3 years. The remainder of the purchase price over the $49.3 million fair value of net tangible assets was allocated to goodwill in the amount of approximately $8.0 million.
(8) Asset Impairment and Other Intangible Assets and Equity Investments
The significant decrease in the Companys market capitalization through September 30, 2002, as well as its announcement during the quarter of a restructuring, triggered the requirement for an impairment analysis of the Companys goodwill and long-lived assets under SFAS No. 142 and 144. Upon completion of the recoverability test under SFAS No. 144, the Company determined that none of its long-lived assets have been impaired. The Company has concluded it is a single reporting unit under SFAS No. 142, and the fair value of the reporting unit is approximated by market capitalization. Considering the significant decrease in the Companys market capitalization from the date of the SignalSoft acquisition, all remaining SignalSoft goodwill as of September 30, 2002 was fully impaired. During the quarter ended December 31, 2002, the Company recorded additional SignalSoft goodwill of $758,000 related to finalization of the purchase price allocation, which was fully impaired during the quarter ended December 31, 2002. The impairment of the SignalSoft goodwill resulted in impairment charges of $758,000 and $8.0 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002 under Amortization and impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets in the Companys Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company regularly performs an impairment assessment of its strategic equity investments. In performing an impairment assessment, Management considers the following factors, among others, in connection with the businesses in which investments have been made: the implicit valuation of the business in connection with recently completed financing or similar transactions, the business current solvency and its access to future capital. The Company recorded $2.0 million and $4.9 million in impairment charges to nonmarketable equity securities related to the impairment of one investment during the three months ended December 31, 2002 and two investments during the three months ended December 31, 2001, respectively. In addition, the Company impaired one investment for approximately $300,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2001 for a combined total of $5.2 million in impairment for the six months ended December 31, 2001. These impairment charges are recorded within Write-down of nonmarketable equity securities in the Companys Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2002, the remaining book value of the investments in nonmarketable equity securities was approximately $4.2 million within Deposits and other assets in the Companys Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(10) Commitments and Contingencies
A former employee commenced arbitration against the Company in February 2002 alleging various claims for misrepresentation in connection with his employment agreement and for tortious constructive discharge from his employment. The demand for arbitration sought an award of damages in excess of $25 million. The Company made an offer to settle the entire matter to the former employee on November 13, 2002 for payment of $30,000, which was accepted by the former employee on November 27, 2002. The Company has received the arbitrators entry of award and, in accordance with the accepted offer to settle, has made the $30,000 payment. The offer to settle requires the former employee to dismiss the case in its entirety, with prejudice.
Based upon certain publicly available information, on November 5, 2001, a purported securities fraud class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The case is now captioned as In re Openwave Systems, Inc. (sic) Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, Civ. No. 01-9744 (SAS) (S.D.N.Y.), related to In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 21 MC 92 (SAS) (S.D.N.Y.). On April 22, 2002, plaintiffs electronically served an amended complaint. The amended complaint is brought purportedly on behalf of all persons who purchased the Companys common stock from June 11, 1999 through December 6, 2000. It names as defendants the Company; five of the Companys present and former officers; and several investment banking firms that served as underwriters of the Companys initial public offering and secondary public offering. The parties have stipulated to dismiss certain individual defendants without prejudice, subject to an agreement extending the statute of limitations through September 30, 2003. The amended complaint alleges liability as to all defendants under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, on the grounds that the registration statement for the offerings did not disclose that: (1) the underwriters had agreed to allow certain customers to purchase shares in the offerings in exchange for excess commissions paid to the underwriters; and (2) the underwriters had arranged for certain customers to purchase additional shares in the aftermarket at predetermined prices. The amended complaint also alleges that false analyst reports were issued. No specific damages are claimed. The Company is aware that similar allegations have been made in other lawsuits filed in the Southern District of New York challenging over 300 other initial public offerings and secondary offerings conducted in 1999 and 2000. Those cases have been consolidated for pretrial purposes before the Honorable Judge Shira A. Scheindlin. On July 15, 2002, the Company (and all other issuer defendants)
16
OPENWAVE SYSTEMS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
moved to dismiss the respective complaints. That motion was heard on November 1, 2002, and a decision is still pending. Based upon the Companys current understanding of the facts, the Company believes that the complaints claims against the Company are without merit, intends to defend the case vigorously and does not believe that resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.
On May 3, 2002, the Company received notice of the pending filing of a purported shareholder derivative lawsuit titled Lefort v. Black et al. The case is now pending before the United States District Court, Northern District of California, No. C-02-2465 VRW. The lawsuit purports to be filed on behalf of the Company. The complaint, as amended, asserts claims against its officers and directors at the time of the Companys initial public offering, and the underwriters of that offering, for breach of fiduciary duty to the Company, negligence, breach of contract, and unjust enrichment. The plaintiff asserts that the alleged conduct injured the Company because the Companys shares were not sold for as high a price in the IPO as they otherwise could have been. The Company is aware that similar allegations have been made in other derivative lawsuits involving issuers that also have been sued in the Southern District of New York securities class action cases. On July 12, 2002, the Company moved to dismiss the initial complaint. Subsequently, plaintiff made demand that the Board of Directors assert his purported claims. The Board of Directors appointed a Special Committee to consider the demand. The Special Committee has issued a report and made recommendations regarding the disposition of the claims asserted by plaintiff. On November 4, 2002, plaintiff filed an amended complaint. On December 5, 2002, the Company, the individual defendants, and the underwriters filed motions to dismiss. The parties agreed to continue the hearing on the motions to dismiss until March 6, 2003. The Company does not believe that resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.
(11) Restructuring and Other Costs
As a result of the Companys change in strategy and its desire to improve its cost structure, the Company announced two separate restructuring plans.
The fiscal 2002 restructuring plan, which was announced during the quarter ended December 31, 2001, resulted in a decrease of the Companys workforce by approximately 400 employees and total restructuring charges of $37.3 million, as well as an additional $1.9 million for leasehold improvements related to the facility closings. Of the $37.3 million in total restructuring charges, the Company recorded an increase of $1.5 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2002, primarily related to changes in the estimates of sublease income on certain facilities. Of the remaining $11.0 million, $2.6 million is expected to be paid by June 30, 2003, with the remaining $8.4 million payable through various dates by November 2012.
The fiscal 2003 restructuring plan, which was announced during the quarter ended September 30, 2002, is expected to result in a decrease of the Companys workforce by approximately 480 employees, and the Company recorded total restructuring charges of $83.3 million as of September 30, 2002. During the quarter ended December 31, 2002, the Company recorded a net decrease of $1.6 million, primarily related to the reduction of a portion of a facility that the Company will vacate as part of the restructuring. The fiscal 2003 plan includes the consolidation of products within the Companys three core product groups: infrastructure, applications, and client products.
In connection with implementation of the restructuring plans, the Companys restructuring charges covered the costs of severance, elimination and consolidation of excess facilities and related leasehold improvements and other restructuring-related charges.

Facility costs under the fiscal 2003 plan represent: (a) $51.2 million in closure and downsizing costs of which $46.5 million related to offices in the Companys headquarters in Redwood City, California, with the remaining $4.7 million related to offices in Asia Pacific, Europe and North America that were consolidated or eliminated as part of the restructuring programs; and (b) $12.4 million in write-offs of leasehold improvements on the vacated facilities or planned vacated facilities. Closure and downsizing costs include payments required under lease contracts, less any applicable sublease income after the properties were abandoned, lease buyout costs and restoration costs associated with certain lease arrangements. To determine the lease loss portion of the closure and downsizing costs, certain estimates were made related to: (1) the time period over which the relevant building would remain vacant, (2) sublease terms and (3) sublease rates, including common area charges. The lease loss is an estimate and represents the low end of the range and will be adjusted in the future upon triggering events (such as changes in estimates of time to sublease and actual sublease rates). The Company has estimated that the lease loss could be as much as $15.8 million higher if facilities operating lease rental rates continue to decrease in the applicable markets or if it takes longer than expected to find a suitable tenant to sublease the facility. The fiscal 2003 restructuring plan has nine sites selected for downsizing during fiscal 2003 beginning in the fiscal quarter ending March 2003. Of the remaining $64.7 million accrual outstanding as of December 31, 2002, $3.2 million is expected to be paid as of June 30, 2003 and $12.4 million represents impaired leasehold improvements within the lease loss accrual which will be abandoned during fiscal 2003, and accordingly, will be reclassed against property, plant and equipment during fiscal 2003, with the remaining $49.1 million payable through various dates by November 2013.
Severance and employment-related charges consist primarily of severance, health benefits and other costs resulting from the termination of employees. The fiscal 2003 restructuring plan is expected to result in the termination of approximately 500 employees, of which 44% are working in sales and marketing, 44% are working in research and development, 12% are working in general and administrative functions. The Company has estimated that the severance and employment-related charges could be higher should there be additional costs that have not been accrued. The accrual balance of $7.2 million as of December 30, 2002 is expected to be paid by June 30, 2003.
Other charges for the fiscal 2003 plan consist of fees associated with the consolidation of the Companys data centers. The accrual balance of approximately $644,000 as of December 31, 2002 is expected to be paid by June 30, 2003.
(12) Subsequent Events
Executive Stock-Based Compensation
On February 10, 2003, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors granted options to the CEO to purchase a total of 5.3 million shares of the Companys common stock to replace options cancelled by the CEO in August 2002. The new options were granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant and have the same vesting schedule as the cancelled options, which is a four-year vesting schedule that commenced as of September 2000.

Overview
We are a leading provider of infrastructure software, applications and services that enable the convergence of the Internet and wireless and wireline communications. We were incorporated in Delaware in 1994. Our customers are communication service providers, including wireless and wireline carriers, Internet service providers (ISPs) and broadband providers worldwide. Our software products enable telecommunication companies and wireless service providers to create and deploy revenue-generating services while providing their subscribers with a rich personalized experience. Our software products are designed to provide carrier-class scalability and reliability and work with industry standards, such as WAP, XHTML, SyncML and VoiceXML.
Using our software, communication service providers can offer Internet services to their wireless and wireline subscribers, and wireless device manufacturers can turn their mass-market mobile phones and other wireless devices into mobile Internet devices. Communication service providers using our software can also provide their subscribers with a variety of messaging applications, including e-mail, mobile e-mail, mobile instant messaging (mobile IM), multi-media messaging service (MMS) and open voice mail.
Our microbrowser software, Openwave Mobile Browser, is designed to be embedded in wireless devices and to deliver the mobile Internet and the applications of the Services OS software through a graphical or textual user interface.
The majority of our sales have been to a limited number of customers and our sales are highly concentrated. Significant customers during the three and six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 include KDDI, Sprint, mm02 and Verizon. Sales to KDDI accounted for 12% and 17% of total revenues during the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 15% and 22% of total revenues for the six months ended during these fiscal periods, respectively. Sales to Sprint account for 14% and 4% of total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 13% and 3% of total revenues for the six months ended during these fiscal periods, respectively. Sales to mm02 accounted for 3% and 10% of total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 3% and 9% of total revenues for the six months ended in these fiscal periods, respectively. Sales to Verizon accounted for 2% and 11% of total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 2% and 6% of total revenues during the six months ended in these fiscal periods, respectively. No other customers have accounted for 10% or more of total revenues for any of the three or six months ended December 31, 2002 or 2001.
Recent Events
In January 2003, Bruce Martin became sole Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Thomas Reardon was appointed to serve as General Manager and Vice President of our Client Product Group. Prior to then, Bruce Martin and Thomas Reardon had served as Co-CTOs since July 2002.
In November 2002, Bo Hedfors, a director of the Board of Directors since April 2002, accepted appointment to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
In October 2002, Bernard Puckett was appointed Chairman of the Board, succeeding Don Listwin as Chairman. Mr. Listwin became Vice Chairman and remains our President and Chief Executive Officer. Also in October 2002, Kevin Kennedy, our Chief Operating Officer, was elected by the Board to fill the vacancy created by John MacFarlanes resignation from the Board that same month.
19
In addition, in October 2002, we consolidated our sales, services and support teams under the leadership of Allen Snyder, who was promoted to Senior Vice President Worldwide Customer Operations. As part of this consolidation, Mike Mulica was reassigned to a new role as Senior Vice President of Strategic Customer Development.
In July 2002, we acquired SignalSoft Corporation (SignalSoft), a leader in software applications for both commercial and emergency (E911) wireless location-based services headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, in a cash tender offer.
Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments
We believe that there are several accounting policies that are critical to understanding our business and prospects for our future performance, as these policies affect the reported amounts of revenue and other significant areas that involve managements judgment and estimates. These significant accounting policies are:
| Revenue recognition |
| Allowance for doubtful accounts |
| Impairment assessment of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets |
| Restructuring-related assessments |
These policies, and our procedures related to these policies, are described in detail below. In addition, please refer to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our accounting policies.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (SOP 97-2), as amended by Statement of Position 98-9, Modification of 97-2 Software Revenue Recognition With Respect to Certain Transactions, and generally recognize revenue when all of the following criteria are met as set forth in paragraph 8 of SOP 97-2: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred, (3) the fee is fixed or determinable and (4) collectibility is probable.
One of the critical judgments we make is the assessment that collectibility is probable. Our recognition of revenue is partly based on our assessment of the probability of collecting the related accounts receivable balance on a customer-by-customer basis. As a result, the timing or amount of revenue recognition may have been different if different assessments of the probability of collection had been made at the time the transactions were recorded in revenue. In cases where collectibility is not deemed probable, revenue is recognized on a cash basis.
Another critical judgment involves the fixed or determinable criterion. We consider payment terms within 12 months to be normal. Payment terms beyond 12 months from delivery are considered extended, and when greater than 20% of an arrangement fee is due beyond 12 months from delivery, revenue is recognized when due and payable. In arrangements where fees are due at least 80% within one year or less from delivery, we consider the entire arrangement fee as fixed or determinable.
Certain arrangements permit the customer to pay us maintenance and support fees based only on the number of active subscribers using our software product, rather than the number of active subscribers to which the customer has committed to purchase under the license agreement. Such arrangements cause an implied maintenance and support obligation for us relating to unactivated subscribers. In these cases, we defer revenue equal to the Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (VSOE) of maintenance and support of the total commitment for the entire deployment period. This additional deferral of maintenance and support revenue results in a smaller amount of residual license revenues to be recognized upon delivery.
In certain arrangements we recognize revenue based on information contained in license usage reports provided by our customers. If such reports are not received in a timely manner, no revenue is recognized in the current period.
During the year ended June 30, 2002, we entered into a significant contract with a service partner, under which we will port our software to the service partners hardware/software platform in exchange for a predetermined reimbursement rate; and the partner will resell our products and engage in other joint activities. We recognize porting services revenue for this contract as project revenue in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as the services are performed. With our adoption of EITF 00-21
20
during the quarter ended December 31, 2002, we separate the reseller and porting activities related to the project and will recognize reseller revenues separately as they are earned. Cumulative revenues recognized may be less or greater than cumulative billings at any point in time during the contracts term. The resulting difference is recognized as unbilled accounts receivable or deferred revenue.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The total allowance for doubtful accounts is comprised of a specific reserve and a general reserve. In general, we regularly review the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts after considering the size of the accounts receivable aging, the age of each invoice, each customers expected ability to pay and our collection history with each customer. We review any invoice greater than 60 days past due to determine if an allowance is appropriate based on the risk category. In addition, we maintain a general reserve for all invoices billed, and not included in the specific reserve, by applying a percentage based on each 30-day age category. For unbilled invoices we generally apply a percentage to the entire balance. In determining these percentages, we analyze our historical collection experience and current economic trends.
In calculating the specific reserve, we identify specific high-risk accounts where collection is deemed unlikely. In calculating the general reserve, we first reduce the gross accounts receivable balance by any specific customer or transaction reserves. We then reduce any accounts receivable balances if the arrangements underlying the billed invoices are determined to have offsetting balances in deferred revenue. Finally, any remaining accounts receivable balance is reduced by any subsequent receipts that are received prior to the allowance calculation. The remaining balance is segregated into 30-day aged categories and a reserve percentage is applied to each category. If the historical data we use to calculate the allowance provided for doubtful accounts does not reflect the future ability to collect outstanding receivables, additional provisions for doubtful accounts may be needed and the future results of operations could be materially affected. However, historically the reserve has proven to be adequate.
Circumstances that have caused an increase to the allowance for doubtful accounts have been primarily due to a deterioration of the telecommunications industry over the last two years, primarily in Europe and Asia, excluding Japan, as well as significant downturns in industries such as the Internet service provider (ISP) industry. The contraction of relevant economies, and industries such as the ISP industry in particular, may result in more customers being placed in the specific account reserve category, thereby increasing our reserve estimate and negatively impacting operating results.
Impairment Assessments
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS No. 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, we review the carrying amount of goodwill for impairment on an annual basis. Additionally, we perform an impairment assessment of goodwill and other intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets may not be recoverable. Significant changes in circumstances can be both internal to our strategic and financial direction, as well as changes to the competitive and economic landscape. Past changes in circumstances that were considered important for asset impairment include, but are not limited to, decrease in our market capitalization, contraction of the telecommunications industry, reduction or elimination of geographic economic growth, reductions in our forecasted growth and significant changes to operating costs.
As part of our impairment assessment, we examine products, customer base and geography. Based on these criteria, we determine which products we will continue to support and sell and, thereby, determine which assets will continue to have future strategic value and benefit. If indicators suggest the carrying value of our long-lived assets may not be recoverable, we complete an analysis of our long-lived assets under Statement of Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS No. 144), Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, using estimates of undiscounted cash flows in order to determine if any impairment of our fixed assets and other intangibles exists.
With the adoption of SFAS No. 142 on July 1, 2002, we have determined there is a single reporting unit for the purpose of goodwill impairment tests under SFAS No. 142. While we have selected the quarter ending March 31 as the period in which the required annual impairment test will be performed, interim impairment tests may be necessary if indicators suggest the carrying value of the goodwill may not be recoverable. For purposes of assessing the impairment of our goodwill, we estimate the value of the reporting unit using the quoted market price in the active market as the best evidence of fair value. This fair value is then compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit.
During the six months ended December 31, 2002, we completed an acquisition of a business, SignalSoft, for $63.8 million. At September 30, 2002, we had $7.3 million of goodwill recorded on the acquisition. The goodwill was adjusted by an additional $758,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2002 to reflect finalization of the purchase price allocation. The significant decrease in our market capitalization through September 30, 2002, as well as our announcement during the quarter of a
21
restructuring, triggered the requirement for an impairment analysis of our goodwill and long-lived assets under SFAS No. 142 and 144. Upon completion of the recoverability test, we determined that none of our long-lived assets have been impaired under SFAS No. 144. We concluded that we are a single reporting unit under SFAS No. 142, and the fair value of the reporting unit is approximated by market capitalization under SFAS No. 142. Considering the significant decrease in our market capitalization from the date of the SignalSoft acquisition, all remaining SignalSoft goodwill as of September 30, 2002 was fully impaired. As the adjustments to the SignalSoft goodwill during the quarter ended December 31, 2002 related to finalization of the purchase price allocation, the goodwill was fully impaired during the quarter ended December 31, 2002. The impairment of the goodwill resulted in impairment charges of $758,000 and $8.0 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, respectively, under Amortization and impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets in the Companys Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
We regularly perform an impairment assessment of our strategic equity investments. In performing an impairment assessment, Management considers the following factors, among others, in connection with the businesses in which investments have been made: the implicit valuation of the business in connection with recently completed financing or similar transactions, the business current solvency and its access to future capital. We recorded $2.0 million and $4.9 million in impairment charges to nonmarketable equity securities related to the impairment of one investment during the three months ended December 31, 2002 and two investments during the three months ended December 31, 2001, respectively. In addition, we impaired one investment for approximately $300,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2001 for a combined total of $5.2 million in impairment for the six months ended December 31, 2001. These impairment charges are recorded within Write-down of nonmarketable equity securities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2002, the remaining book value of the investments in nonmarketable equity securities was approximately $4.2 million and is recorded within Deposits and other assets in the Companys Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Restructuring-related assessments
Our critical accounting policy and judgment as it relates to restructuring-related assessments includes our estimate of facility costs and severance-related costs. To determine the facility costs, which consist of the loss after the Companys cost recovery efforts from subleasing a building, certain estimates were made related to: (1) the time period over which the relevant building would remain vacant, (2) sublease terms and (3) sublease rates, including common area charges. The facility cost is an estimate representing the low end of the range and will be adjusted in the future upon triggering events (such as changes in estimates of time to sublease or changes in actual sublease rates). We have estimated that the lease loss for the fiscal 2003 restructuring plan could be as much as $15.8 million higher if facilities operating lease rental rates continue to decrease in the applicable markets or if it takes longer than expected to find a suitable tenant to lease the facility. To determine the severance and employment-related charges, we have made certain estimates as they relate to severance benefits including the remaining time employees will be retained, the estimated severance period, as well as the estimated legal accruals. We have estimated that the severance and employment-related charges for the fiscal 2003 restructuring plan could be higher should there be more costs that have not been accrued.

License Revenues
License revenues decreased 42.9% and 49.9% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, respectively, as compared to the respective prior fiscal periods. The decrease in license revenues was attributable to the economic downturn that significantly affected the telecommunications market, as well as increased competition, particularly in Europe, which caused a further decline in license revenues.
Maintenance and Support Services Revenues
Maintenance and support services revenues remained relatively constant for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the respective prior fiscal periods.
Professional Services Revenues
Professional services revenues decreased 45.4% and 33.3% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, respectively, as compared to the respective prior fiscal periods. The slowdown in the telecommunications market contributed to a decrease in the number of new commercial deployments of our technology.
23
Project Revenues
Project revenues, a new revenue category in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002, totaled $4.7 and $10.0 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, respectively, and represent amounts recognized under our porting services arrangement with a service partner. Project revenues represented 7.1% and 7.3% of total revenues for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, respectively.

Cost of License Revenues
Cost of license revenues consists primarily of third-party license and related support fees, as well as amortization of acquisition-related customer contract intangibles. The decrease in cost of license revenues during the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the respective prior fiscal periods, was primarily a result of the cost of exiting our Applications Service Provider business, offset by $1.4 million of amortization of contract intangibles related to our acquisition of SignalSoft that was completed during the six months ended December 31, 2002. We anticipate that the cost of license revenues will vary as a percentage of related revenues over the next year.
Cost of Maintenance and Support Services Revenues
Cost of maintenance and support services revenues consists of compensation and related overhead costs for personnel engaged in support and training services to device manufacturers and communication service providers. The decrease in costs for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the respective prior fiscal periods, was primarily due to our product realignment and restructuring efforts. We anticipate that the cost of maintenance and support services revenues will remain relatively constant as a percentage of related revenues over the next year.
24
Cost of Professional Services Revenues
Cost of professional services revenues consists of compensation and independent consultant costs for personnel engaged in performing professional services and related overhead costs. To the extent personnel are engaged in selling or marketing activities, the costs are included in Sales and marketing within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cost of professional services revenues decreased during the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the respective prior fiscal periods, primarily due to a decrease in headcount resulting from the restructuring efforts. We anticipate that the cost of professional services revenues will decrease as a percentage of related revenues over the next year.
Cost of Project Revenues
The cost of project revenues, a new cost category for us in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002, includes direct costs incurred in the performance of porting services for a service partner. Cost of project revenues totaled $4.3 million and $9.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002. As a percent of related revenue, cost of project revenues represented 91.5% and 91.1% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, respectively. We anticipate that the cost of project revenues will moderately decrease in absolute dollars but will remain relatively constant as a percentage of project revenues over the next year.

Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for research and development personnel. As a result of our restructuring efforts, average headcount decreased by 144 people and 48 people during the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the respective prior fiscal periods. The decrease in headcount resulted in a $2.6 million and $3.2 million decrease in salaries during the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the respective prior fiscal periods. The remaining decrease in research and development expenses during the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the respective prior fiscal periods was primarily comprised of: the transition of certain employees to departments associated with project revenues which resulted in decreased total expenses of $2.8 million and $5.4 million, respectively; cost cutting efforts which resulted in a decrease in our overall facility and IT department allocations of $1.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively, and a decrease in consulting and other costs of $2.0 million and $6.5 million, respectively; offset by an increase in bonus expense of $1.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively. Bonus expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001 reflected relatively low expenses as a result of our decision to suspend the corporate incentive plan in the quarter ended September 30, 2001. However, for the three months ended December 31, 2002, we incurred bonus expense as a result of a customer satisfaction bonus that was paid and other bonus programs being paid out, or accrued for, during the quarter. We anticipate that our research and development expenses in future quarters will decrease in absolute dollars as the impact of the reduction in force is realized.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for personnel performing sales and marketing activities, sales commissions, marketing programs, travel expenses, public relations, promotional materials, professional service employees engaged in selling activities and trade show exhibit expenses. As a result of our restructuring efforts, average headcount decreased by 273 people and 196 people during the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the respective prior fiscal periods. The decrease in headcount resulted in a $7.3 million and $12.7 million decrease in salaries during the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the respective prior fiscal periods. The remaining decrease in sales and marketing expenses during the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the respective prior fiscal periods, was primarily comprised of: a decrease in commission expense of $173,000 and $2.4 million, respectively; cost cutting efforts which resulted in a decrease in marketing costs of $1.2 million and $3.1 million, respectively; a decrease in our overall facility and IT department allocations of $1.6 million and $3.8 million, respectively, as well as a decrease in other costs of $1.7 million and $4.0 million; offset by an increase in bonus expense of $792,000 and $1.5 million, respectively. Bonus expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001 reflected relatively low expenses as a result of our decision to suspend the corporate incentive plan in the quarter ended September 30, 2001. However, for the three months ended December 31, 2002, we incurred bonus expense as a result of a customer satisfaction bonus that was paid and other bonus programs being paid out, or accrued for, during the quarter. We anticipate that our sales and marketing expenses in future quarters will decrease in absolute dollars.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses, bad debt expense, accounting, legal and administrative expenses, professional service fees and other general corporate expenses. As a result of our restructuring efforts, average headcount decreased by 37 people and 7 people during the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the respective prior fiscal periods. The decrease in headcount resulted in a $559,000 and $369,000 decrease in salaries during the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the respective prior fiscal periods. The remaining decrease in general and administrative expenses during the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the respective prior fiscal periods, was primarily comprised of: an increase (decrease) in bad debt expense of $1.5 million and $(3.1) million, respectively; an increase in bonus expense of $1.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively; offset with cost cutting measures leading to decreases in other expenses of $1.6 million and $2.8 million. Bonus expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001 reflected relatively low expenses as a result of our decision to suspend the corporate incentive plan in the quarter ended September 30, 2001. However, for the three months ended December 31, 2002, we incurred bonus expense as a result of a customer satisfaction bonus that was paid and other bonus programs being paid out, or accrued for, during the quarter. We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses in future quarters will decrease in absolute dollars.
Restructuring and Other Costs
As a result of our change in strategy and our desire to improve our cost structure, we announced the fiscal 2003 restructuring plan and recorded restructuring and other charges of $81.7 million during the six months ended December 31, 2002. The remaining $1.5 million in restructuring and other costs incurred during the six months ended December 31, 2002 resulted from our fiscal
26
2002 restructuring plan and primarily represent changes in the estimates of sublease income on certain facilities. The fiscal 2003 restructuring plan, which was announced during the quarter ended September 30, 2002, is expected to result in a decrease of our workforce of approximately 480 employees. The fiscal 2003 plan includes the consolidation of products within three core product groups: infrastructure, applications and client products. The current fiscal years restructuring plan included facility costs related to the consolidation of excess facilities and related leasehold improvements of $63.6 million, severance and employment-related charges of $17.4 million, and other restructuring-related costs of $680,000. These and other actions are expected to result in quarterly total cost reductions of approximately $25.0 to $30.0 million, of which $15.0 million was realized during the six months ended December 31, 2002, with the remaining reductions to be largely completed by June 30, 2003.
The following table summarizes the future activity on the accrued restructuring costs balance as of December 31, 2002:

All stock-based compensation is being amortized in a manner consistent with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 28 (FIN No. 28), Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans. Stock-based compensation consisted of continued amortization of the deferred stock-based compensation related to acquisitions, as well as compensation expense recognized on warrants, options issued to nonemployees and restricted stock granted to executives at exercise prices below the current fair value of the Companys stock. Stock-based compensation decreased during the three months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the respective prior fiscal period, due to the continued amortization of stock-based compensation. During the six months ended December 31, 2002, we reversed $1.1 million of research and development stock-based compensation as a result of a reduction in the estimate of the time period over which the corresponding employees would vest in the stock options, because such employees were identified for termination related to the restructuring in the quarter ended September 30, 2002. Excluding the reversal, stock-based compensation decreased by $6.2 million during the six months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the prior period, due to continued amortization of deferred stock-based compensation. We expect our overall stock-based compensation to stay relatively the same during the quarter ending March 31, 2003 as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2002.

(a) The decrease in amortization of goodwill and intangible assets for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the respective prior fiscal periods was primarily due to the impairment of goodwill and other intangibles during the quarters ended December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2002, as well as the adoption of SFAS 142. In addition, the amortization of acquisition-related contract intangibles in the amount of $300,000 and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002 was a result of the acquisition of SignalSoft and was recorded within Cost of revenues: License in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
(b) In-process research and development represents the fair value of the acquired in-process research and development projects that had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no alternative use. Accordingly, this amount was expensed when we acquired SignalSoft, and was reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended December 31, 2002.
(c ) During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 142 and recognized a transitional impairment of $14.5 million, which was reported as a Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. The impairment of goodwill and intangible assets of $758,000 and $8.0 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002 resulted from the impairment of the goodwill and intangible assets of SignalSoft. The impairment of goodwill and intangibles of $279.4 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001 resulted from an impairment analysis of several acquisitions completed prior to the SignalSoft acquisition. See Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments Impairment Assessments for further discussion.
Merger, Acquisition and Integration-related Costs
As a result of the SignalSoft acquisition, we recorded merger and integration costs in the amount of $142,000 and $386,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002 related to retention bonuses for employees and other costs incurred solely as a result of the integration. Merger costs for the six months ended December 31, 2001 in the amount of $570,000 related to additional costs incurred in our Software.com, Inc. merger, which was primarily completed during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001.
Interest Income and Other, Net
Interest income and other, net totaled $1.5 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and $3.7 million and $6.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decreases in both periods were due to lower average cash equivalents and investments which decreased for the three- and six- month periods by $106.7 million and $88.8 million, respectively, as well as a decrease in the average interest rates obtained during the periods. We anticipate that our interest and other income will decline during the quarter ending March 31, 2003 due to lower average balances invested.
28
Nonmarketable Equity Securities
We wrote down nonmarketable equity securities in the amounts of $2.0 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, and $2.0 million and $5.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. See Impairment section for further discussion.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense totaled $2.3 million and $1.8 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and totaled $4.5 million and $5.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Income taxes in all periods presented consisted primarily of foreign withholding and foreign income taxes. Foreign withholding taxes fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on both the geographical mix of our revenue, as well as the timing of the revenue recognized. We expect to incur withholding and foreign corporate income taxes on an ongoing basis of approximately 2% to 6% of revenues.
In light of our history of operating losses, we record a valuation allowance for substantially all of our net deferred tax assets, as we are presently unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities will be realized.

Working capital as of December 31, 2002 was 25.3% lower than at December 31, 2001 primarily due to cash used to fund operations, as well as cash used in connection with acquisitions and an increase in accrued liabilities due to the restructuring. Excluding restricted cash and investments, we expect to have between $210 million to $225 million of cash, cash equivalents, and short- and long-term investments as of March 31, 2003.
The cash flows used for operating activities during the six months ended December 31, 2002, excluding cash paid for restructuring, totaled $14.8 million and related primarily to the net loss for the period adjusted for noncash items combined with a
29
decrease in accounts receivable of $15.1 million and an increase in deferred revenue of $16.1 million, offset by a decrease in accrued liabilities of $12.7 million. The cash flows used for operating activities during the six months ended December 31, 2001, excluding cash paid for restructuring, totaled $11.4 million and related primarily to the net loss for the period adjusted for noncash items combined with a decrease in accounts receivable of $24.9 million, offset by a decrease in deferred revenue of $25.4 million and a decrease in accounts payable of $13.6 million. We expect to use operational cash flows, excluding cash paid for restructuring costs, of $21.0 million to $26.0 million during the quarter ending March 31, 2003. Additionally, we expect to pay approximately $2.0 million to $4.0 million of restructuring-related costs during the quarter ending March 31, 2003. Also, see Restructuring and other costs for expected cash outlay of restructuring related costs during the year ending June 30, 2003 and thereafter.
The positive cash flows generated from investing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2002 were attributed primarily to net proceeds from sales and maturities of short- and long-term investments of approximately $64.9 million, offset by $18.3 million of expenditures related primarily to the acquisition of SignalSoft and purchases of property and equipment of approximately $6.2 million. The positive cash flows generated from investing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2001 primarily related to net proceeds of short-term investments of approximately $21.6 million, offset by purchases of property, plant and equipment of $15.6 million. We expect that cash flows used for investing activities will be approximately $2.0 million to $4.0 million in capital and other expenditures during the quarter ending March 31, 2003.
The positive cash flows provided by financing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2002 primarily reflected net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $2.0 million. The positive cash flows generated from financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2001 was primarily attributed to the net proceeds from put warrants of $10.5 million and the net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $7.3 million, offset by the repurchase of treasury stock of $5.9 million and repayment of capital lease obligations and long term debt of $2.1 million. With the suspension of our employee stock purchase program in November 2002, we expect that cash flows provided by financing activities will be negligible for the quarter ending March 31, 2003.
We obtained a majority of our cash and investments from public offerings. As discussed in the Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2002, we had a financial commitment to create a joint venture with a foreign partner within the Peoples Republic of China (PRC). Effective January 2003, prior to making any capital contribution, we mutually agreed with our partner in the PRC to terminate each of our respective obligations under the joint venture agreement. The purpose of the proposed joint venture was to provide a central point from which to provide software and services to China Unicom. China Unicom continues to be an important customer and we have in the past provided, and expect in the future to continue to provide, software and services to China Unicom through channels other than the proposed joint venture. Other than the lease commitments discussed in the Form 10-K, we do not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements and are currently not dependent on debt financing. All contractual and commercial commitments have been reflected in the financial statements.
We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. If cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities, obtain a credit facility or sell certain assets. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, these securities could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to holders of common stock, and terms of any debt could impose restrictions on our operations. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders, and additional financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us. If additional financing is necessary and we are unable to obtain the additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned product development and marketing efforts, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.
Risk Factors
We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control, that will affect our future results and business and may cause our actual results to differ from those currently expected. Therefore, past financial performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.
In addition to the other information in this report, the following factors should be considered carefully in evaluating our business and prospects.
We have a history of losses and we may not achieve or maintain profitability.
We have incurred losses since our inception, including losses of approximately $29.5 and $168.0 million during the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, respectively. As of December 31, 2002, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $2.5 billion. We expect to have net losses and negative cash flow for at least the next 6 to 12 months. We expect to continue to spend significant amounts to develop or enhance our products, services and technologies and to enhance sales and operational capabilities. We will need to generate increases in revenue as well as reduce costs to achieve profitability. We face a number of risks encountered by wireless telecommunications and Internet software industries to achieve this goal, including:
30
| our need for communication service providers to launch, maintain, and market commercial services utilizing our products; |
| our substantial dependence on products with only limited market acceptance to date; |
| our need to introduce reliable and robust products that meet the demanding needs of communication service providers and wireless device manufacturers; |
| our dependence on a limited number of customers; |
| our ability to anticipate and respond to market competition; |
| our ability to affect key product transitions or upgrades; |
| our dependence upon key personnel; |
| the announcement or introduction of new or enhanced products or services by our competitors; |
| adverse customer reaction to technical difficulties or bugs in our software; |
| adverse customer reaction to our current stock price or financial condition; |
| the growth rate and performance of wireless networks in general and of wireless communications in particular; |
| the rate of growth in end-user purchases of data-enabled wireless devices, use of our products, and the growth of wireless data networks generally; |
| the volume of sales by our distribution partners and resellers; |
| our strategic partners resources dedicated to selling our products and services; |
| our pricing policies and those of our competitors; |
| our goodwill and/or intangibles may become impaired; |
| the high debt burdens of our customers; and |
| our customers willingness to incur the costs necessary to buy third-party hardware and software required to use our software products and any related price concessions on our product that our customers demand as a result. |
Our business strategy may not be successful, and we may not successfully address these risks.
We may not be successful in obtaining license usage reports from all of our customers.
Although our customers are contractually obligated to provide license usage reports, we are sometimes unable to obtain such reports in a timely manner. We assist customers in complying with this obligation by providing a software measurement tool, installing the measurement tool whenever possible and customizing that tool where appropriate. The measurement tool, however, currently is not installed in all of our customers, does not measure the use of all of our products and has certain other limitations that we are continuing to attempt to address by refining the tool. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to install our measurement tool in all of our customers or that we will be able to overcome all of the limitations currently within the tool. The inability to obtain accurate license usage reports on all of our customers could have an adverse impact on the revenues that we realize and could, accordingly, negatively affect our financial performance.
Our operating results are subject to significant fluctuations, and this may cause our stock price to decline further.
Our stock price has experienced significant volatility, including a recent significant decline in our stock price. Factors that may lead to significant fluctuation or declines in our stock price include, but are not limited to:
| acquisitions or strategic alliances by us or our competitors; |
31
| changes in estimates or our financial performance or changes in recommendations by securities analysts; |
| changes in financial performance of competitors and other companies in our industry; |
| delays in market acceptance or implementation by our customers of our products and services; |
| changes in demand by our customers for additional products and services; |
| our lengthy sales and implementation cycles; |
| our concentrated target market and the potentially substantial effect on total revenues that may result from the gain or loss of business from each incremental customer; |
| introduction of new products or services by us or our competitors; |
| delays in developing and introducing new products and services; |
| changes in our pricing policies or those of our competitors or customers; |
| changes in our mix of domestic and international sales; |
| risks inherent in international operations; |
| changes in our mix of license, professional services, maintenance and support services and project revenues; |
| changes in accounting standards, including standards relating to revenue recognition, business combinations and stock-based compensation; |
| disputes or litigation with other parties; |
| potential slowdowns or quality deficiencies in the introduction of new telecommunication networks or improved wireless devices; |
| general industry factors, including a slowdown in capital spending or growth in the telecommunications industry, either temporary or otherwise; and |
| general political and economic factors, including a further economic slowdown or recession. |
We expect that the market price of our common stock also will fluctuate in the future as a result of variations in our operating results. These fluctuations may be exaggerated if the trading volume of our common stock is low. In addition, we currently have little visibility into the timing of our customers purchasing decisions, which may accentuate swings in our stock price.
Most of our expenses, such as compensation for current employees and lease payments for facilities and equipment, are relatively fixed. In addition, our expense levels are based, in part, on our expectations regarding future revenues. As a result, any shortfall in revenues relative to our expectations could cause significant changes in our operating results from period to period. Due to the foregoing factors, we believe period-to-period comparisons of our revenue levels and operating results are of limited use. You should not rely on these comparisons and operating results for any particular period to predict our future performance.
Our common stock may be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq National Market.
Our common stock trades on the Nasdaq National Market (Nasdaq). In order to maintain listing on Nasdaq, it is required, among other things, that our common stock has a minimum bid price of $1.00. The Nasdaq requirements further state that a deficiency will exist if such minimum bid price remains below $1.00 for a period of 30 consecutive business days. Nasdaqs rules provide that after receipt of such notice, a listed company is entitled to a 90-day period, and, in some cases, 180-day period in which to regain compliance and avoid a possible delisting of its securities from Nasdaq. By letter dated October 15, 2002 from Nasdaq, we were notified that we did not meet the listing criteria for continued listing on Nasdaq on that date due to a failure to meet Nasdaqs minimum bid price requirement. Subsequently, we received notification from Nasdaq, by letter dated November 7, 2002, that we had regained compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements as our common stock had a closing bid price at $1.00 per share or greater for at least 10 consecutive trading days. There can be no assurance that the trading price of our common stock will
32
continue to meet the minimum bid price requirement of Nasdaq, and, in the future, our common stock could be subject to delisting. If our common stock were to be delisted from trading on the Nasdaq National Market and were neither re-listed thereon nor listed for trading on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market or other recognized securities exchange, trading, if any, in our common stock may continue to be conducted on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the non-Nasdaq over-the-counter market. Delisting could result in limited release of the market price of the common stock and limited news coverage of our Company and services and could restrict investors interest in our common stock and materially adversely affect the trading market and prices for our common stock and our ability to issue additional securities or to secure additional financing.
Our success depends on continued acceptance of our products and services by communication service providers, their subscribers, and by wireless device manufacturers.
Our future success depends on our ability to increase revenues from sales of our software and services to communication service providers and other customers. This dependence is exacerbated by the relatively small number of communication service providers and other customers worldwide whose willingness to purchase our products is critical to our success. To date, only a limited number of communication service providers and other customers have implemented and deployed services based on our products. Furthermore, we are dependent upon our customers having growth in subscriber adoption for additional purchases. Some of our customers have purchased license seats exceeding their current needs and may not have additional purchases, if any, until they utilize all of their current purchased licenses. We cannot assure you that communication service providers and other partners will widely deploy or successfully market services based on our products, or that large numbers of subscribers will use these services.
The market for the delivery of Internet-based services is rapidly evolving, and we may not be able to adequately address this market.
The market for the delivery of Internet-based services is rapidly evolving. As a result, the life cycle of our products is difficult to estimate. We may not be able to develop and introduce new products, services and enhancements that respond to technological changes or evolving industry standards on a timely basis, in which case our business would suffer. In addition, we cannot predict the rate of adoption by wireless subscribers of these services or the price they will be willing to pay for these services. As a result, it is extremely difficult to predict the pricing of these services and the future size and growth rate of this market.
Our communication service provider customers face implementation and support challenges in introducing Internet-based services, which may slow their rate of adoption or implementation of the services our products enable. Historically, communication service providers have been relatively slow to implement new complex services such as Internet-based services. In addition, communication service providers may encounter greater customer service demands to support Internet-based services via wireless devices than they do for their traditional voice services. We have limited or no control over the pace at which communication service providers implement these new services. The failure of communication service providers to introduce and support services utilizing our products in a timely and effective manner could harm our business.
We rely on sales to a small number of customers, and the failure to retain these customers or add new customers may harm our business.
To date, a significant portion of our revenues in any particular period has been attributable to a limited number of customers, comprised primarily of communication service providers. Significant customers for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 include KDDI, Sprint, mm02 and Verizon. Sales to KDDI and its related entities accounted for approximately 12% and 17% of total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and totaled 15% and 22% of total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Sales to Sprint and its related entities accounted for approximately 14% and 4% of total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively and 13% and 3% of total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Sales to mm02 accounted for approximately 3% and 10% of total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively and for 3% and 9% of total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Sales to Verizon accounted for 2% and 11% of total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 2% and 6% for the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. We cannot assure you that any of these customers will continue to generate significant revenues for us.
We believe that we will continue to rely upon a limited number of customers for a significant portion of our revenues from each period for the foreseeable future, and any failure by us to capture a significant share of these customers could materially harm our business. We believe that the telecommunications industry is entering a period of consolidation. To the extent that our customer
33
base consolidates, we will have increased dependence on a few customers who may be able to exert increased pressure on our prices and contractual terms in general.
Furthermore, with the consolidation of the Internet specifically in the area of Internet service providers (ISPs), future growth in sales to ISPs has declined and may continue to decline.
If wireless devices are not widely adopted for mobile delivery of Internet-based services, our business could suffer.
We have focused a significant amount of our efforts on mass-market wireless devices as the principal means of delivery of Internet-based services using our products. If wireless devices are not widely adopted for mobile delivery of Internet-based services, our business will suffer materially. Mobile individuals currently use many competing products, such as portable computers, to remotely access the Internet and e-mail. These products generally are designed for the visual presentation of data, while, until recently, wireless devices historically have been limited in this regard. In addition, the development and proliferation of many types of competing products capable of the mobile delivery of Internet-based service in a rapidly evolving industry represents a significant risk to a primary standard emerging. If mobile individuals do not adopt mobile phones or other wireless devices containing our browser or compatible browser as a means of accessing Internet-based services, our business will suffer materially.
Our business depends on continued growth in use and improvement of the Internet and customers ability to operate their systems effectively.
The infrastructure, products and services necessary to maintain and expand the Internet may not be developed, and the Internet may not continue to be a viable medium for secure and reliable personal and business communication, in which case our business, financial condition and operating results would be harmed. Because we are in the business of providing Internet infrastructure software, our future success depends on the continued expansion of, and reliance of consumers and businesses on, the Internet for communications and other services. The Internet may not be able to support an increased number of users or an increase in the volume of data transmitted over it. As a result, the performance or reliability of the Internet in response to increased demands will require timely improvement of the high speed modems and other communications equipment that form the Internets infrastructure. The Internet has, in the past, experienced temporary outages and delays as a result of damage to portions of its infrastructure. The effectiveness of the Internet may also decline due to delays in the development or adoption of new technical standards and protocols designed to support increased levels of activity and due to the transmission of computer viruses.
In addition to problems that may affect the Internet as a whole, our customers have in the past experienced some interruptions in providing their Internet-related services, including services related to our software products. We believe that these interruptions will continue to occur from time to time. Our revenues depend substantially upon the number of subscribers who use the services provided by our customers. Our business may suffer if our customers experience frequent or long system interruptions that result in the unavailability or reduced performance of their systems or networks or reduce their ability to provide services to their subscribers.
In addition, to increase the growth in use and improvement of the Internet requires that handset or other wireless device manufacturers produce new handsets that contain updated software and functionality that are compatible with our software. There can be no assurance that handset or wireless device manufactures will produce enough handsets, meet delivery dates, or produce devices that work properly and are not subject to a high level of recalls. In addition, there can be no assurance that consumers will purchase handsets or wireless devices that contain updated software and functionality that are compatible with our software.
Our business depends on continued investment and improvement in communication networks and our customers ability to operate their systems effectively.
Many of our customers and other communication service providers have made major investments in 2.5 generation and 3rd generation (2.5 G and 3G) networks that are intended to support more complex applications and to provide end users with a more satisfying user experience. If communication service providers delay their deployment of 2.5G and 3G networks or fail to roll such networks out successfully, there could be less demand for our products and services and our business could suffer. In addition, if communication service providers fail to continue to make investments in their networks or at a slower pace in the future, there may be less demand for our products and services and our business could suffer.
34
Our restructuring of operations may not achieve the results we intend and may harm our business.
In October 2001 and again in September 2002, we initiated plans to streamline operations and reduce expenses, which included cuts in discretionary spending, reductions in capital expenditures, reductions in the work force and consolidation of certain office locations, as well as other steps to reduce expenses. In connection with the restructurings, we were and continue to be required to make certain product and product development tradeoffs with limited information regarding the future demand for our various products. There can be no assurance that in connection with the restructurings we are pursuing the correct product offerings to take advantage of future market opportunities. Furthermore, the implementation of our restructuring plans has placed, and may continue to place, a significant strain on our managerial, operational, financial, employee and other resources. Additionally, the restructurings may negatively affect our employee turnover as well as recruiting and retention of important employees. These reductions could impair our marketing, sales and customer support efforts or alter our product development plans. If we experience difficulties in carrying out the restructuring plans, our expenses could increase more quickly than we expect. If we find that our planned restructurings do not achieve our objectives, it may be necessary to implement further reduction of our expenses, to perform additional reductions in our headcount, or to undertake additional restructurings of our business.
We may be unable to successfully integrate acquisitions of other businesses and technologies into our business or achieve the expected benefits of such acquisitions or business combinations.
To date, we have acquired or combined with numerous companies and technologies and may acquire additional companies or technologies or enter into additional business combinations in the future. We may not be able to successfully assimilate the personnel, operations and customers of these businesses or integrate their technology with our existing technology, products and services. Additionally, we may fail to achieve the anticipated synergies from such acquisitions, including product integration, marketing, product development, distribution and other operating synergies.
Entering into any business combination entails many risks, any of which could materially harm our business, including:
| diversion of managements attention from other business concerns; |
| failure to assimilate the acquired or combined businesses or technologies with pre-existing businesses and technologies; |
| potential loss of key employees from either our pre-existing business or the acquired or merged business; |
| impact of any negative customer relationships acquired; |
| dilution of our existing stockholders as a result of issuing equity securities; and |
| assumption of liabilities of the acquired or merged company, business, or technology. |
We may not be able to identify future suitable acquisition or business combination candidates, and even if we do identify suitable candidates, we may not be able to make these transactions on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. If we do acquire companies, businesses, or technologies or combine with other companies, we may not be able to realize the benefits we expected to achieve at the time of entering into the transaction. As a result, we may incur unexpected integration and product development expenses which could harm our results of operations. Further, we may have to utilize cash reserves, incur debt or issue equity securities to pay for any future acquisitions, the issuance of which could be dilutive to our existing stockholders.
We may not be successful in forming strategic alliances with other companies.
Our business is becoming increasingly dependent on forming strategic alliances with other companies, and we may not be able to form such alliances that are important to ensure that our products are compatible with third-party products, to enable us to license our software into potential new customers and markets and to enable us to continue to enter into new license agreements with our existing customers. There can be no assurance that we will identify the best alliances for our business or that we will be able to maintain existing relationships with other companies or enter into new alliances with other companies on acceptable terms or at all. The failure to maintain or establish successful strategic alliances could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial results.
35
We may not be successful in our strategic investments.
We have made, and in the future, we may continue to make strategic investments in other companies. These investments have been made in, and future investments will likely be made in, immature businesses with unproven track records and technologies. Such investments have a high degree of risk, with the possibility that we may lose the total amount of our investments. We may not be able to identify suitable investment candidates, and, even if we do, we may not be able to make those investments on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, even if we make investments, we may not gain strategic benefits from those investments, and, therefore, we may need to record an impairment charge to write-off the strategic investments to our operations. There can be no assurance that we may not experience future material impairment charges with respect to our existing or future strategic investments.
Our sales cycle is long and our stock price could decline if sales are delayed or cancelled.
Fluctuations in our operating performance are exacerbated by our sales cycle, which is lengthy, typically between six months and twelve months, and unpredictable. Many factors outside our control add to the lengthy education and customer approval process for our products. We spend a substantial amount of time educating customers regarding the use and benefits of our products, and they, in turn, spend a substantial amount of time performing internal reviews and obtaining capital expenditure approvals before purchasing our products. Further, the emerging and evolving nature of the market for Internet-based services via wireless devices may lead prospective customers to postpone their purchasing decisions. In addition, any continued future slowdown in capital spending in the communications industry, such as the most recent slowdown, will likely lead existing and prospective customers to postpone or delay their purchasing decisions. Any delay in sales of our products could cause our operating results to vary significantly from projected results, which could cause our stock price to decline.
We are exposed to the credit risk of some of our customers and to credit exposures in weakened markets.
Since the cost of developing new technology is high, there are many companies that are experiencing difficulties in obtaining the necessary financing to continue in business. A portion of our sales are derived through customers who tend to have access to more limited financial resources than others and, therefore, represent potential sources of increased credit risk. In addition, under current market conditions it has become increasingly difficult for telecommunication and technology companies, such as our existing and potential new customers, to obtain the necessary financing to continue in business. Although we have programs in place to monitor and mitigate the credit risk associated with our existing customers, there can be no assurance that such programs will be effective in reducing our credit risk. We also continue to monitor increased credit exposures from weakened financial conditions in certain geographic regions, and the impact that such conditions may have on the worldwide economy. We have recently experienced losses due to customers failing to meet their obligations, primarily as a result of the weakened financial state of the wireless and telecommunications industry. Future losses, if incurred, could harm our business and have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.
If widespread integration of browser technology does not occur in wireless devices, our business could suffer.
All of our agreements with wireless device manufacturers are nonexclusive, so they may choose to embed a browser other than ours in their wireless devices. We may not succeed in maintaining and developing relationships with wireless device manufacturers, and any arrangements may be terminated early or not renewed at expiration. In addition, wireless device manufacturers may not produce products using our browser in a timely manner, in sufficient quantities, or with sufficient quality, if at all.
The market for our products and services is highly competitive.
The market for our products and services is highly competitive. The widespread adoption of open industry standards may make it easier for new market entrants and existing competitors to introduce products that compete with our software products. In addition, a number of our competitors, including Nokia, have announced or are expected to announce enhanced features and functionality both as proprietary extensions to the WAP standard and in the area of messaging platforms. Furthermore, some service providers, such as NTT DoCoMo, have introduced or may introduce services based on proprietary wireless protocols that are not compliant with industry specifications. Finally, infrastructure providers like Nokia may leverage installed technology and/or wireless device sales to sell end-to-end solutions.
We expect that we will compete primarily on the basis of quality, breadth of product and service offerings, functionality, price and time to market. Our current and potential competitors include the following:
36
| wireless equipment manufacturers, such as Ericsson, Nokia, Siemens, Motorola, Qualcomm and Nortel; |
| wireless messaging software providers, such as Comverse, Nokia, and Ericsson; |
| systems integrators, such as CMG, Logica and Siemens; |
| software companies, such as Microsoft, iPlanet, a Sun/Netscape alliance, Hewlett-Packard, 7.24 Solutions, and Critical Path; |
| service providers, such as E-Commerce Solutions and InfoSpace; |
| browser competitors, such as Nokia, Access, AU Systems and Microsoft; |
| location product competitors, such as Ericsson, Nokia, Telecommunications Systems, Intrado, Motorola and Siemens; |
| communication service providers, such as NTT DoCoMo; and |
| providers of Internet software applications and content, electronic messaging applications and personal information management software solutions. |
Microsoft has announced its intention to introduce products and services that may compete directly with many of our products. In addition, Microsoft has made available its Windows CE-based operating systems for wireless devices, including voice enabled PDAs and wireless telephones. Microsoft is delivering its own browser, called Mobile Explorer, for these devices.
Nokia markets a WAP server to communication service providers, corporate customers and content providers. This brings Nokia into direct and indirect competition with us. Nokias corporate WAP server is designed to enable wireless device subscribers to directly access applications and services provided by these customers, rather than through gateways provided by communication service providers WAP servers. If Nokias WAP server is widely adopted by corporate customers and content providers, it could undermine the need for communication service providers to purchase WAP servers. Nokia also competes directly with us in the area of messaging, offering end-to-end solutions, based on its proprietary smart messaging protocol and on MMS, to communication service providers.
Many of our existing competitors, as well as potential competitors, have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing and distribution resources than we do. The greater financial resources of some of these existing and potential competitors has enabled, and may continue to enable them to aggressively price, finance and bundle certain of their product offerings to attempt to gain market adoption or to increase market share. These activities have increased pressure on us to compete on the basis of price and to partner with larger resellers with broader product offerings and financing capabilities. This increased price pressure may negatively affect our market share and financial performance.
International sale of product licenses is an important part of our strategy, and this expansion carries specific risks.
International sale of product licenses and services accounted for 59% and 62% of our total revenues for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, respectively. Risks inherent in conducting business internationally include:
| failure by us and/or third parties to develop localized content and applications that are used with our products; |
| fluctuations in currency exchange rates; |
| any imposition of currency exchange controls; |
| unexpected changes in regulatory requirements applicable to the Internet or our business; |
| difficulties and costs of staffing and managing international operations; |
| differing technology standards and pace of adoption; |
| export restrictions on encryption and other technologies; |
| difficulties in collecting accounts receivable and longer collection periods; |
37
| seasonable variations in customer buying patterns or electronic messaging usage; |
| political instability, acts of terrorism or war; |
| economic downturns; |
| potentially adverse tax consequences; |
| reduced protection for intellectual property rights in certain countries; |
| costs of localizing our products for foreign markets; |
| contractual provisions governed by foreign laws; and |
| the burden of complying with complex and changing regulatory requirements. |
Any of these factors could harm our international operations and, consequently, our business, financial condition and operating results.
Our software products may contain defects or errors, and shipments of our software may be delayed.
The software we develop is complex and must meet the stringent technical requirements of our customers. We must develop our products quickly to keep pace with the rapidly changing Internet software and telecommunications markets. Software products and services as complex as ours are likely to contain undetected errors or defects, especially when first introduced or when new versions are released. We have in the past experienced delays in releasing some versions of our products until software problems were corrected. Our products may not be free from errors or defects after commercial shipments have begun, which could result in the rejection of our products and damage to our reputation, as well as lost revenues, diverted development resources and increased service and warranty costs, any of which could harm our business.
We depend on recruiting and retaining key management and technical personnel with telecommunications and Internet software experience.
Because of the technical nature of our products and the dynamic market in which we compete, our performance depends on attracting and retaining key employees. In particular, our future success depends in part on the continued services of many of our current executive officers and other key employees. Competition for qualified personnel in the telecommunications, Internet software and Internet messaging industries is significant. We believe that there are only a limited number of persons with the requisite skills to serve in many key positions, and it is difficult to hire and retain these persons. Furthermore it may become more difficult to hire and retain key persons as a result of our past restructuring, any future restructurings, and as a result our past stock performance. Competitors and others have in the past, and may in the future, attempt to recruit our employees.
We may fail to support our operations.
To succeed in the implementation of our business strategy, we must rapidly execute our sales strategy and further develop products and expand service capabilities, while managing anticipated growth by implementing effective planning and operating processes. If we fail to manage effectively, our business could suffer. To manage, we must:
| successfully manage the business with fewer employees due to the restructuring plans; |
| continue to implement and improve our operational, financial and management information systems; |
| hire, train and retain qualified personnel, especially as the business climate improves; |
| continue to expand and upgrade core technologies; |
| effectively manage multiple relationships with various communication service providers, wireless device manufacturers, content providers, applications developers and other partners and third parties; and |
| successfully integrate the businesses of our acquired companies. |
38
Our systems, procedures and controls may not be adequate to support our operations, and our management may not be able to achieve the rapid execution necessary to exploit the market for our products and services.
Our success, particularly in international markets, depends in part on our ability to maintain and expand our distribution channels.
Our success depends in part on our ability to increase sales of our products and services through value-added resellers and systems integrators and to expand our indirect distribution channels. If we are unable to maintain the relationships that we have with our existing distribution partners, increase revenues derived from sales through our indirect distribution channels, or increase the number of distribution partners with whom we have relationships, then we may not be able to increase our revenues or achieve profitability.
We expect that many communication service providers, especially in international markets will require that our products and support services are supplied through value-added resellers and systems integrators. Thus, we expect that a significant portion of sales will be made through value-added resellers and systems integrators, and the success of our operations will depend on our ability to maintain productive relationships with value-added resellers and systems integrators.
In addition, our agreements with our distribution partners generally do not restrict the sale by them of products and services that are competitive with our products and services, and each of our partners generally can cease marketing our products and services at their option and, in some circumstances, with little notice and with little or no penalty.
We depend on others to provide content and develop applications for wireless devices.
In order to increase the value to customers of our product platform and encourage subscriber demand for Internet-based services via wireless devices, we must successfully promote the development of Internet-based applications and content for this market. If content providers and application developers fail to create sufficient applications and content for Internet-based services via wireless devices, our business could suffer materially. Our success in motivating content providers and application developers to create and support content and applications that subscribers find useful and compelling will depend, in part, on our ability to develop a customer base of communication service providers and wireless device manufacturers large enough to justify significant and continued investments in these endeavors. In addition, we depend on the wireless device manufacturers to provide quality user-friendly handsets that enable the wireless Internet.
If we are unable to continue to successfully integrate our products with third-party technology, such as communication service providers systems, our business could suffer.
Our products are integrated with communication service providers systems and wireless devices. If we are unable to continue to successfully integrate our platform products with these third-party technologies, our business could suffer. For example, if, as a result of technology enhancements or upgrades of these systems or devices, we are unable to integrate our products with these systems or devices, we could be required to redesign our software products. Moreover, many communication service providers use legacy, or custom-made, systems for their general network management software. Legacy systems and certain custom-made systems are typically very difficult to integrate with new server software. We may not be able to redesign our products or develop redesigned products that achieve market acceptance.
An interruption in the supply of software that we license from third parties could cause a decline in product sales.
We license technology that is incorporated into our products from third parties. Any significant interruption in the supply of any licensed software could cause a decline in product sales, unless and until we are able to replace the functionality provided by this licensed software. We also depend on these third parties to deliver and support reliable products, enhance their current products, develop new products on a timely and cost-effective basis, and respond to emerging industry standards and other technological changes. The failure of these third parties to meet these criteria could harm our business.
39
Our intellectual property or proprietary rights could be misappropriated, which could force us to become involved in expensive and time-consuming litigation.
Our ability to compete and continue to provide technological innovation is substantially dependent upon internally-developed technology. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, and trade secrets to protect our technology, although we believe that other factors such as the technological and creative skills of our personnel, new product developments, frequent product and feature enhancements and reliable product support and maintenance are more essential to maintaining a technology leadership position. We rely on trademark law to protect the value of our corporate brand and reputation.
We generally enter into confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements with our employees, consultants, prospective customers, licensees and corporate partners. In addition, we control access to and distribution of our software, documentation and other proprietary information. Except for our browser product and certain limited escrow arrangements with respect to some of our other products, we generally do not provide customers with access to the source code for our products. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology. Effectively policing the unauthorized use of our products and trademarks is time consuming and costly, and there can be no assurance that the steps taken by us will prevent misappropriation of our technology or trademarks, particularly in foreign countries where in many instances the local laws or legal systems do not offer the same level of protection as in the United States.
If others claim that our products infringe their intellectual property rights, we may be forced to seek expensive licenses, reengineer our products, engage in expensive and time-consuming litigation or stop marketing and licensing our products.
We attempt to avoid infringing known proprietary rights of third parties in our product development efforts. However, we do not regularly conduct comprehensive patent searches to determine whether the technology used in our products infringes patents held by third parties. Because patent applications in the United States are not publicly disclosed until the patent is issued, applications may have been filed which relate to our software products. In addition, our competitors and other companies as well as research and academic institutions have conducted research for many years in the electronic messaging field, and this research could lead to the filing of further patent applications. If we were to discover that our products violated or potentially violated third-party proprietary rights, we might not be able to obtain licenses in which case we might not be able to continue offering those products without substantial reengineering. Any reengineering effort may not be successful, nor can we be certain that any licenses would be available on commercially reasonable terms.
Substantial litigation regarding intellectual property rights exists in the software industry, and we expect that software products may be increasingly subject to third-party infringement claims as the number of competitors in our industry segments grows and the functionality of software products in different industry segments overlaps. Any third-party infringement claims could be time consuming to defend, result in costly litigation, divert managements attention and resources, cause product and service delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Any royalty or licensing arrangements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. A successful claim of infringement against us and our failure or inability to license the infringed or similar technology could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The security provided by our products could be breached, in which case our reputation, business, financial condition and operating results could suffer.
The occurrence or perception of security breaches could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. A fundamental requirement for online communications is the secure transmission of confidential information over the Internet. Third parties may attempt to breach the security provided by our products, or the security of our customers internal systems. If they are successful, they could obtain confidential information about our customers end users, including their passwords, financial account information, credit card numbers or other personal information. Our customers or their end users may file suits against us for any breach in security. Even if we are not held liable, a security breach could result in costly litigation and harm our reputation. The perception of security risks, whether or not valid, could inhibit market acceptance of our products. Despite our implementation of security measures, our software is vulnerable to computer viruses, electronic break-ins, intentional overloading of servers and other sabotage, and similar disruptions, which could lead to interruptions, delays, or loss of data. We may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to license encryption or other technologies to protect against security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by these breaches. In addition, our customers might decide to stop using or licensing our software if their end users experience security breaches.
Future governmental regulation of the Internet could limit our ability to conduct our business.
Although there are currently few laws and regulations directly applicable to the Internet and commercial messaging, a number of laws have been proposed involving the Internet, including laws addressing user privacy, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution,
40
antitrust and characteristics and quality of products and services. Further, the growth and development of the market for online messaging or location products may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws that may impose additional burdens on those companies, including us, that conduct such businesses. The adoption of any additional laws or regulations may impair the growth of the Internet or commercial online services, which would decrease the demand for our services and could increase our cost of doing business or otherwise harm our business, financial condition and operating results. Moreover, the applicability of existing laws governing property ownership, sales and other taxes, libel and personal privacy to the Internet is uncertain and may take years to resolve.
Our stock price may be volatile, exposing us to expensive and time-consuming securities class action litigation.
The stock market in general, and the stock prices of Internet-related companies in particular, has recently experienced sharp declines and extreme volatility, which has often been unrelated to the operating performance of any particular company or companies. If market or industry-based fluctuations continue, our stock price could decline below current levels regardless of our actual operating performance. If a large number of shares of our stock relative to the trading volume of our stock are sold in a short period of time, our stock price may decline rapidly. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against companies following periods of sharp declines or volatility in their stock prices. In addition, often state court derivative actions have been brought against officers and directors of companies that have experienced sharp declines or significant volatility in their stock prices. We have experienced sharp declines and volatility in our stock price. Based upon publicly available information, a purported securities class action complaint has been filed against us, along with numerous other companies, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and is described under Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings. In addition, we received notice on May 3, 2002, of the pending filing of a purported shareholder derivative lawsuit against certain of our former and current officers and directors of the Company, that is described under Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings. We may in the future be the target of similar class action, derivative lawsuits, or similar litigation. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and divert managements time and resources, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We operate internationally and are exposed to potentially adverse movements in foreign currency rate changes. We manage our foreign currency exchange rate risk by entering into contracts to sell or buy foreign currency to reduce our exposure to currency fluctuations involving probable anticipated and current foreign currency exposures. These contracts require us to exchange currencies at rates agreed upon at the inception of the contracts. These contracts reduce the exposure to fluctuations in exchange rate movements because the gains and losses associated with foreign currency balances and transactions are generally offset with the gains and losses of the foreign exchange forward contracts.
At December 31, 2002, we had foreign currency contracts in Euros and British Pounds Sterling. These contracts are accounted for on a marked-to-market basis, with realized and unrealized gains or losses recognized in the Companys consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2002, the fair value of these contracts totaled $66,000 and were recorded in Accrued liabilities within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

With respect to the above investments, we are exposed to market risks for changes in interest rates. We place our investments with high credit quality issuers that have a rating by Moodys of A1 or higher and Standard & Poors of P-1 or higher, and, by policy, limit the amount of the credit exposure to any one issuer.
Our general policy is to limit the risk of principal loss and ensure the safety of invested funds by limiting market and credit risk. All highly liquid investments with a maturity of less than three months at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents; all investments with maturities of three months through one year are classified as available-for-sale and considered to be short-term investments; all investments with maturities of greater than one year and less than two years are classified as available-for-sale and considered to be long-term investments. We do not purchase investments with a maturity date greater than two years from the date of purchase.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure controls and procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this quarterly report (the Evaluation Date). Based on the evaluation performed, such officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them on a timely basis to material information relating to Openwave (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act.
(b) Changes in internal controls
Since the Evaluation Date there has not been any significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect such controls.
PART II Other Information
A former employee commenced arbitration against us in February 2002 alleging various claims for misrepresentation in connection with his employment agreement and for tortious constructive discharge from his employment. The demand for arbitration sought an award of damages in excess of $25 million. We made an offer to settle the entire matter to the former employee on November 13, 2002 for payment of $30,000, which was accepted by the former employee on November 27, 2002. We have received the arbitrators entry of award and, in accordance with the accepted offer to settle, we have made the $30,000 payment. The offer to settle requires the former employee to dismiss the case in its entirety, with prejudice.

Based upon certain publicly available information, on November 5, 2001, a purported securities fraud class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The case is now captioned as In re Openwave Systems, Inc. (sic) Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, Civ. No. 01-9744 (SAS) (S.D.N.Y.), related to In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 21 MC 92 (SAS) (S.D.N.Y.). On April 22, 2002, plaintiffs electronically served an amended complaint. The amended complaint is brought purportedly on behalf of all persons who purchased the Companys common stock from June 11, 1999 through December 6, 2000. It names as defendants the Company; five of the Companys present and former officers; and several investment banking firms that served as underwriters of the Companys initial public offering and secondary public offering. The parties have stipulated to dismiss certain individual defendants without prejudice, subject to an agreement extending the statute of limitations through September 30, 2003. The amended complaint alleges liability as to all defendants under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, on the grounds that the registration statement for the offerings did not disclose that: (1) the underwriters had agreed to allow certain customers to purchase shares in the offerings in exchange for excess commissions paid to the underwriters; and (2) the underwriters had arranged for certain customers to purchase additional shares in the aftermarket at predetermined prices. The amended complaint also alleges that false analyst reports were issued. No specific damages are claimed. We are aware that similar allegations have been made in other lawsuits filed in the Southern District of New York challenging over 300 other initial public offerings and secondary offerings conducted in 1999 and 2000. Those cases have been consolidated for pretrial purposes before the Honorable Judge Shira A. Scheindlin. On July 15, 2002, we (and all other issuer defendants) moved to dismiss the respective complaints. That motion was heard November 1, 2002 and a decision is still pending. Based upon our current understanding of the facts, we believe that the complaints claims against us are without merit, and we intend to defend the case vigorously and do not believe that resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
On May 3, 2002, we received notice of the pending filing of a purported shareholder derivative lawsuit titled Lefort v. Black et al. The case is now pending before the United States District Court, Northern District of California, No. C-02-2465 VRW. The lawsuit purports to be filed on behalf of the Company. The complaint, as amended, asserts claims against its officers and directors at the time of our initial public offering, and the underwriters of that offering, for breach of fiduciary duty to the Company, negligence, breach of contract, and unjust enrichment. The plaintiff asserts that the alleged conduct injured the Company because the Companys shares were not sold for as high a price in the IPO as they otherwise could have been. We are aware that similar allegations have been made in other derivative lawsuits involving issuers that also have been sued in the Southern District of New York securities class action cases. On July 12, 2002, we moved to dismiss the initial complaint. Subsequently, plaintiff made demand that the Board of Directors assert his purported claims. The Board of Directors appointed a Special Committee to consider the demand. The Special Committee has issued a report and made recommendations regarding the disposition of the claims asserted by plaintiff. On November 4, 2002, plaintiff filed an amended complaint. On December 5, 2002, the Company, the individual defendants, and the underwriters filed motions to dismiss. The parties agreed to continue the hearing on the motions until March 6, 2003. We do not believe that resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the quarter ended December 31, 2002, we issued 161,074 shares of our common stock in exchange for developed and core technology from a private company located in the United States. We believe that the transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, under Section 4(2) and/or other applicable exemptions from such registration requirements.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
Not applicable.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a vote of Security Holders
On November 22, 2002, we held our annual meeting of stockholders. At the annual meeting, our stockholders approved the following matters by vote:
(1) Election of the following two members of the Board of Directors, each to serve a three-year term or until his successor has been elected and qualified:
