Industry Background

Growth and Evolution of the Internet

        The Internet has emerged as a global medium that enables millions of people worldwide to communicate and obtain information, and is fundamentally changing the way companies conduct business. Both Internet-based and traditional enterprises have recognized the potential of using websites to conduct business and provide business-related information and are increasingly moving critical business processes and operations to the Internet. Companies are using the Internet to sell goods and services, interact with customers, suppliers and partners and communicate with employees, as well as to streamline complex business processes and improve productivity.

Importance of Web Application Integrity and Performance

        Due to their increasing use of the Internet, companies have come to rely on the integrity and performance of their web applications. If a company's web applications operate erroneously, perform poorly, or fail entirely, the resulting financial and business costs can be substantial, including lost revenues, customer defections, business interruptions and damage to its reputation. For example, if a company's web applications fail to deliver high levels of service to its customers, the company may lose customers and revenue opportunities. Similarly, if a manufacturer's web applications provide inaccurate information and perform poorly, the manufacturer could experience bottlenecks in its supply chain and decreased production rates. In order to successfully compete companies must rapidly deploy web applications and assure the quality and performance of these applications.

        The performance of web applications includes the following key elements:

Characteristics of Web Applications

        Web applications have the following characteristics that present significant challenges to their successful development, deployment and ongoing operation:

Our Market Opportunity

        As companies move various aspects of their businesses to the web, they are placing greater reliance on their web applications and are increasingly exposed to the risks associated with web application failures. According to IDC, a leading industry research firm, the market is expected to grow at a 25% annual growth rate through 2006, to approximately $2.0 billion.

        To date, companies have typically used conventional testing software to separately and sequentially test the functionality, scalability, efficiency and reliability of web applications. In addition, this type of software is generally used just prior to deployment. Application errors identified late in the development cycle are often difficult to fix and result in extended development cycles, delayed deployment, higher costs and lost business opportunities.

        Website deployments dominate the application development market. The largest opportunities in the marketplace are with established corporations that follow formal information technology budgeting and planning procedures. We believe that these companies will continue to invest in electronic commerce systems. The majority of the investments will be focused on systems with an emphasis on return on investment within the following segments: customer relationship management; business-to-business supply chain systems; web services; on-line retailers; and internal applications.

        We believe that the expanded use of websites and the increased reliance on web applications create a significant market opportunity for solutions that assure the integrity, scalability, efficiency and reliability of web applications and facilitate their rapid deployment. In our view, this opportunity is best addressed by solutions that:

Our Solution

        We are a leading provider of software that enables companies to assure the integrity and performance of business-critical web applications. We address the functionality and performance requirements of web applications throughout their lifecycle, from initial design through development, deployment and ongoing modifications and upgrades. In meeting these requirements, companies are able to mitigate the financial and business costs that can result from unsuccessful deployment and failures of their web applications. Companies that test their web applications using our solutions benefit from earlier detection of potentially costly problems such as performance bottlenecks, scalability issues, and functionality limitations. This results in significantly reduced costs and increased speed to market associated with launching web applications.

Our Strategy

        Our objective is to be the best-of-breed provider of software solutions that enable companies to successfully implement their web-based business strategies by assuring the performance of their business-critical web applications. Key elements of our strategy are:

Achieve Positive Operating Cash Flow

        To date, we have incurred losses from operations as a result of significant product development efforts, expansion of our direct sales force, implementation of marketing programs, and building the infrastructure to support a publicly held company, all in anticipation of increased revenues. With the global decline in information technology spending since 2001, we restructured our operating costs to more closely align with our planned revenues. With our revenue forecasts and our current level of operating spending, we will attempt to achieve positive cash flow from operations within the next 12 months.

Maintain and Extend Product Leadership

        We believe that our software provides the most comprehensive verification of web applications, including scalability, efficiency and reliability, and is the first solution supporting Document Object Model, or DOM-based, verification, which enables quicker identification and resolution of application errors. In addition to DOM, our award-winning software is based on Internet standards such as JavaScript and Extensible Markup Language, or XML, and has been recognized as an industry-leading solution that is used for benchmarking the performance of web applications by testing laboratories, trade media and independent software vendors. We intend to further extend our product leadership through focused internal development, strategic partnerships and potentially the acquisition of complementary technologies or businesses.

Develop and Expand Strategic Relationships

        We believe that strategic relationships with industry leaders enable us to accelerate our market penetration and visibility, and maintain our technology leadership. We collaborate with Dell Computer, Hewlett Packard, Intel, IBM, and Sun Microsystems, as well as other Internet software and service providers. These relationships help to ensure that our software is optimized for use with their product offerings and allows us to promote market awareness of our products. We plan to continue to develop strategic technology and marketing relationships with leading providers of web-related software.

        Additionally, we will continue to capitalize on outsourcing trends by leveraging relationships with testing service providers and technology labs. Increasingly, many companies are outsourcing the development, testing and hosting of their web applications to third parties. We believe that web integration, testing and hosting service providers represent a significant market opportunity for our software. We intend to pursue partnerships with web integration, testing and hosting service providers.

Leverage Our Installed Customer Base

        To date, we have licensed our software to over 1,350 companies worldwide, including Fortune 1000 companies, such as American Express, Dell Computer, Deutsche Bank, Fidelity Investments, Shell and Toyota. Our customers can leverage their initial investment in our technology and pursue additional web-related strategies and increase the capabilities of their web applications to accommodate increasing numbers of users. In addition, as we introduce new products that complement our existing products, we believe there is a significant opportunity to increase our revenues through our installed customer base.

Provide Solutions that Contribute to a Low Total Cost of Ownership

        Companies purchase testing solutions based on several criteria, including the total cost of ownership. Factors that contribute to the total cost of ownership for testing solutions include, among others, the costs of testing software, hardware used to simulate user load traffic, training, and designing, writing and maintaining test scripts. We believe our software contributes to a low total cost of ownership in many ways, including:

Products

        Our current product line consists of:

        Together, WebLOAD, WebRM and WebFT provide a comprehensive solution that enables users to verify their application's integrity, scalability, efficiency and reliability at each point in the application development cycle. We believe WebLOAD, WebRM and WebFT are the only products that combine all aspects of the web application performance verification process into an integrated solution with a unified script. Our products are designed specifically for the Internet, and employ Internet-standard technologies such as JavaScript, Java, ActiveX, Hypertext Markup Language, or HTML, XML and DOM. Using a standards-based approach makes our products easier to use and readily adaptable to new technology standards.

        Key features of our software include:

        Comprehensive Performance Software.    Our software provides an integrated solution to simultaneously verify the integrity, scalability, efficiency and reliability of web applications. In addition, our software can assure a web application's overall performance, the performance of an application's specific components and determine critical thresholds where performance starts to deteriorate.

        Designed for Web Applications.    Our software is specifically designed for the complex Internet computing environment and is based on Internet standards, such as JavaScript, Java, ActiveX, HTML, XML, and DOM. This enables efficient simulation of very large numbers of users, extreme fluctuations in traffic and complex user demands placed on web applications and allows our software to be readily adaptable to emerging Internet technologies.

5



        Detailed Performance Analysis.    Our software automatically monitors 75 performance criteria and supports an extensive number of additional user-defined criteria. Unlike other solutions, companies using our products have the ability to verify the performance of web applications for each simulated user or transaction. By identifying the points in a user's interaction where a web application fails, our comprehensive measurement and reporting mechanisms expedite the process of problem resolution.

        Verification Early in the Development Lifecycle.    Our software assists companies in identifying and resolving issues with their web applications at every point in the development life cycle. Resolving issues as early as possible in the development life cycle can lower the cost of developing web applications and accelerate the deployment of scalable, high performance web applications.

        Facilitate Collaboration Throughout the Development Process.    Our software allows designers, developers, quality assurance and information technology professionals to store and share test scripts, test results and templates, allowing previously isolated technical teams within a company to work on a coordinated and collaborative basis.

        Ease of Use.    All of our performance and quality assessments are generated using JavaScript, the computer language most commonly used by web application developers. This avoids the learning curve and costs associated with other products that utilize proprietary scripting languages.

        Efficient Use of Resources.    We design our products to make efficient use of a company's available computer resources, thereby reducing the hardware requirements and investments needed to simulate heavy user traffic. In addition, our software allows users to share company resources on an as-needed basis.

WebLOAD

        Using WebLOAD, customers create scripts that simulate users' interactions with web applications. These scripts are built in JavaScript, the web standard for application scripting. WebLOAD includes recorders that enable customers to rapidly generate scripts by copying interactions between a web browser and a web application. WebLOAD also enables more advanced users to create highly complex interactions using JavaScript and WebLOAD's script authoring tools.

        WebLOAD can run simultaneously multiple different scripts that reflect different user interactions with the underlying application. These differences may be task based (for example, a retail application might mix browsers with purchasers), or based on other user characteristics, such as their connection speed, the browser they are using, or their Secure Socket Layer, or SSL, which is an encryption configuration.

        WebLOAD executes scripts for multiple simulated users, or virtual clients, on load generation machines, such as existing servers, that are centrally managed by the customer. The customer can schedule these virtual clients independently to simulate fluctuating user traffic patterns. Alternatively, a customer can use WebLOAD's Cruise Control feature, which steadily increases the number of virtual clients interacting with an application until that application fails to perform based on one or more customer-defined performance criteria. Cruise Control allows our customers to readily and rapidly determine the maximum user load their application can support while maintaining specified performance criteria.

        WebLOAD efficiently generates large numbers of virtual clients requiring significantly less computer memory than competing products with comparable functionality. This benefits companies by significantly reducing the cost of hardware required to simulate large numbers of users.

        While a performance session is running, WebLOAD generates over 75 different pre-defined statistical measurements, which are displayed to the user in real time. Our customers can also add an extensive number of user-defined measurements and timers, as well as monitor the performance profile

6



of the components within a customer's Internet architecture. WebLOAD reports these data points on a per client and per transaction level, thus providing detailed information about the potential causes of any detected application failures during the simulation and allowing customers to rapidly and effectively address any performance issues. Customers can analyze this performance data and readily export it to industry-standard, third party formats, such as Microsoft Excel.

        WebLOAD has received the following awards:

WebRM

        WebRM addresses the needs of companies to systematically verify web application quality and standardize their web application performance solution across the application design, development, quality assurance and information technology functions. It allows companies to centrally-manage and share WebLOAD resources, so that a web application's architecture, design, implementation and hardware environment can all be tested using the same technology at each step of the development life cycle. Verification performed earlier in the development process generally results in earlier problem detection, lower costs and more rapid application development. Companies using WebRM can therefore capitalize on WebLOAD's comprehensive, integrated, standard-based approach to facilitate the rapid delivery of higher quality web applications.

        Key features and benefits of WebRM include:

        Coordinated Management of Resources.    Customers who license WebRM receive a fixed number simulated users, or virtual clients, which may be distributed throughout the enterprise on an as-needed basis. For example, a customer with a license for 10,000 virtual clients could allocate all 10,000 virtual clients for use in one performance session, or alternatively, could conduct several concurrent performance sessions with any number of virtual clients, up to an aggregate of 10,000 virtual clients. WebRM provides central administrative controls for managing access to virtual clients and load generating hardware on a per-user, per-group basis.

        Collaborative and Accelerated Development.    By enabling the sharing of resources and verification technologies throughout the application development lifecycle, WebRM enables developers, QA engineers and IT staff to use a common solution across the entire project. Using the same technology in all phases of application development and deployment enables easy communication across these functions. For example, WebRM permits a QA engineer to save a test script that identified a problem in the web application, and allows a developer to share that test script in order to reproduce, diagnose and fix the problem. Similarly, by using WebRM early in the development phase, developers can share their test scripts with QA engineers, increasing the shared understanding of what verification work has already been performed and allowing the QA function to scale these tests further.

WebFT

        WebFT addresses the needs of companies to systematically verify the integrity of their web applications. WebFT offers accurate, reliable and highly efficient functional testing under real-world conditions across multiple applications and databases, isolating defects and problems that could impact web application performance. Once the functionality of the web application has been verified using WebFT, companies can share the same test scripts with WebLOAD or WebRM to verify that the functionality performs under user load.

7



        Key features of WebFT, our functional testing product include:

        Ease of Use:    By providing a highly visual development environment, users can easily record and playback transaction activity in web applications to verify the functionality of the application. This allows novice users to become productive quickly while providing experienced users with an agenda testing tree that they can modify and work with to verify and handle complex testing cases.

        Automated Support for Client-Side Java:    This feature allows for easy recording and verification of client-side events.

        Detailed Error Reporting:    This feature allows for identification of any application failures through descriptive messages and alerts. In addition, reporting capabilities are enhanced through support for many formats including text, HTML, and Portable Document Format, or PDF.

Services

        Services consist of support and maintenance and training services. Support and maintenance services include technical support services via telephone and e-mail and product enhancements. Support and maintenance arrangements are generally purchased for 12-month terms. Training services consist of introductory and advanced courses on the use of our software products.

Customers

        To date, we have licensed our software to over 1,350 customers worldwide. Our customers include Fortune 1000 companies and other companies across a broad range of industries, including financial services, technology, retail, manufacturing, telecommunication, health care and education.

Sales and Marketing

        Sales.    We sell our products principally through a direct sales force. Our direct sales force consists of sales personnel and sales engineers located at our corporate headquarters in Burlington, Massachusetts, as well as offices throughout the United States, Israel, Germany and the United Kingdom. In addition, we have indirect channel partners, principally consisting of web system integrators and web hosting companies, and international distributors in Europe, Israel and Asia.

        Marketing.    We engage in a variety of product marketing activities and provide product information through our website. We offer free trials of our WebLOAD and WebFT software that can be downloaded from our website. Our marketing programs are aimed at informing customers of the benefits of our software, increasing the market awareness of our products and generating demand for our products. Our marketing strategy includes public relations initiatives, focused lead generation activities, participating in trade shows and conferences, web seminars, promoting special events and cultivating relationships with key technology analysts about the competencies and benefits of our products.

Customer Support

        We offer a range of support and training services to our customers. We believe that providing a high level of customer service and technical support is necessary to achieve rapid product implementation, which in turn, is essential to customer satisfaction and continued license sales and revenue growth. We provide telephone and e-mail technical support from our corporate office in Burlington, Massachusetts and from our development center in Israel. We track support requests through a series of customer databases, including current status reports and historical customer interaction logs. We use customer feedback as a source of ideas for product improvements and

8



enhancements. We also provide training and consulting to assist our customers in the development and deployment of web-based applications using our products.

Research and Development

        Our research and development efforts are focused on enhancing our core technology and developing additional functionality and capabilities for our products. We conduct our research and development principally from our facility in Israel. Our software development approach consists of a methodology that provides guidelines for planning, controlling and implementing projects. This approach uses a cross-functional, team-based development and release process. Our development group works closely with our sales and marketing groups, who provide customer and market requirements, and senior management who provide strategic input, to assist in defining product direction and to ensure that the right products are brought to market. Members of our research and development group have extensive experience working with web technologies and software testing solutions. We believe that our future performance will depend in large part on our ability to enhance our current product line, develop new products and maintain our leadership role in providing innovative solutions for verifying the performance and scalability of web applications.

Product Technology and Architecture

        Our technologies are built on an open, portable architecture, based on industry standard technologies. Our products may be deployed on Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Sun Solaris and Linux operating systems. Our products incorporate the web standard scripting language, JavaScript, enabling our customers to easily develop, deploy and manipulate the scripts required to assess the performance of their web applications. We have also extended JavaScript to enable integration of Java, ActiveX and XML and work with other standard web technologies, such as SSL encryption schemes. Integration with these standard technologies helps ensure our products are available for use regardless of the customer's operating environment.

        Use of JavaScript as a core technology enables our products to perform extensive functional verification capabilities without the need for a browser graphical user interface, or GUI. JavaScript exposes DOM to users. Our DOM extensions readily make XML available to the script developer in a familiar setting making it easier to extend a web application to include XML interactions. Our efficient browser emulator minimizes the use of computer memory, thereby enabling companies to simulate a larger number of virtual clients in order to place considerable load, or stress, on the underlying application infrastructure.

        We have developed an application architecture that scales to any arbitrary test size, delivering consistent throughput for any arbitrary load size, independent of the number of machines used to generate the load. We employ a 32-bit, multi-threaded and multi-process implementation, which dynamically adjusts and allocates new processes as the load requirements are raised. This ensures that load generators are optimized for the test and the load demanded of them, as well as readily taking advantage of multi-processor machines to increase performance.

Competition

        The web application performance and testing solutions market is intensely competitive, subject to rapid change and significantly affected by new product introductions and other activities of market participants. Our primary competitors include companies who mainly offer application-testing software, such as Mercury Interactive. In addition, we compete against companies that provide a broader spectrum of development tools that include some verification functionality, such as Rational Software.

        We expect that competition will intensify in the future. Increased competition is likely to result in pricing pressures, reduced margins and may result in the failure of our products to achieve or maintain

9



market acceptance, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Some of our competitors have longer operating histories, better brand recognition, a larger installed base of customers and substantially greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. In addition, we anticipate that there will be continuing consolidation in the web application products market and related markets such as computer software, media and communications. Our competitors may be acquired by, receive investments from, or enter into other commercial relationships with, larger, well-established and well-financed companies. As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or customer requirements. Many of these competitors also have broader and more established distribution channels that may be used to deliver competing products directly to customers through bundling or other means. If competitors were to bundle competing products with their products, the demand for our products might be substantially reduced and our ability to distribute our products successfully would be substantially diminished.

        We believe the principal competitive factors affecting our market include:

        To expand our customer base, we must continue to innovate and improve the performance of our products. Although we believe that our products compete favorably with respect to these factors, our market is relatively new and is developing rapidly. We may not be able to maintain our competitive position against current and potential competitors, especially those with significantly greater financial, marketing, service, technical and other resources.

Proprietary Rights

        Our success and ability to compete depend upon our proprietary technology. In addition, we rely on patent, copyright, trade secret and trademark law to protect our proprietary information. We also typically enter into an agreement with each of our employees, consultants and customers to control their access to and distribution of our software, documentation and other proprietary information. Nevertheless, a third party could copy or otherwise obtain our software or other proprietary information without our authorization, or could develop software competitive to ours. Our means of protecting our proprietary rights may not be adequate and our competitors may independently develop similar technology or duplicate our products or our other intellectual property. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States. We expect that it will become more difficult for us to monitor the use of our products if we increase our international presence.

10



        There has been substantial litigation in the software and Internet industries regarding intellectual property rights. It is possible that, in the future, third parties can claim that we, or our current or potential future products, infringe on their intellectual property. We expect that software product developers will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products and competitors in our industry segment grows and the functionality of products in industry segments overlaps. Any claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause product licensing delays or require us to license or pay royalties for certain products in order to continue to sell our products. Licensing or royalty agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. As a result, our business could be harmed.

Employees

        As of December 31, 2002, we had 71 employees worldwide, of whom 32 were employed in research and development, 21 in sales and marketing, 10 in management and administration and 8 in technical support. Of our employees, 24 are based in the United States, 42 are based in Israel and 5 are based in Europe. None of our employees is represented by a labor union and we consider our relations with employees to be good.

        Although our Israeli employees are not party to any collective bargaining agreement, all of our Israeli employees are subject to Israeli labor laws and certain provisions of collective bargaining agreements among the Government of Israel, the General Federation of Labor in Israel and one or more employer's associations. These provisions and laws concern the length of the workday, minimum daily wages for workers, procedures for dismissing employees, determination of severance pay, adjustments of wages to increases in the Israeli consumer price index, and other conditions of employment.

Item 2.    PROPERTIES

        We do not own any real property. We lease an 11,228 square foot facility in Burlington, Massachusetts for our corporate headquarters under a lease that expires in December 2004. In addition, we lease 10,136 square feet in Tel Aviv, Israel for our principal research and development and international sales operations under a lease that expires in 2005. We also lease space for our sales operations in the United Kingdom, Germany and Sweden.

Item 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        To our knowledge we are not involved in any legal proceedings that are material to our business or financial condition.

Item 4.    SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. See "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

Overview

        We develop, market and support software that enables companies to assure the scalability, efficiency and reliability of web applications. In 1997, we introduced our first web-testing product, WebLOAD, which was initially focused on assessing the scalability of web applications. Since then, we have enhanced the functionality of WebLOAD to provide an integrated solution to assess the performance and accelerate the deployment of web applications. In February 2000, we introduced WebRM, which is designed to facilitate the systematic verification of web application quality throughout the application development lifecycle and to accelerate the deployment of high performance web applications. In August 2001, we introduced WebFT, a testing tool for verification of the functionality of web applications.

        Our revenues were $10.8 million in 2000, $8.6 million in 2001 and $5.8 million in 2002. Our revenues are primarily derived from the license of our WebLOAD and WebRM software products, and to a lesser extent, from our WebFT software product. We also derive revenues from related services including customer support, maintenance and training.

        We license our software primarily through a direct sales force and, to a lesser extent, through indirect channels. To date, we have licensed our software to customers in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East. Revenues derived from North America as a percent of total revenues were 82.7% in 2000, 70.2% in 2001 and 61.4% in 2002. While we expect to continue to derive the majority of our revenues from North America, we intend to derive an increasing percentage of our revenues from Europe and Asia-Pacific. Substantially all of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars.

        Our net loss was $11.0 million in 2000, $17.4 million in 2001 and $6.5 million in 2002. These net losses resulted primarily from the expansion of our operations through 2001 and the significant costs incurred in the development of our software.

        In January 2002, we restructured our business through the termination of 27% of the then current workforce. As a result of the restructuring, we recorded a restructuring charge of $334,000 in the first quarter of 2002 consisting of employee severance costs, idle lease facilities costs and fixed asset impairment costs. During the second quarter of 2002, we recorded additional restructuring costs of $131,000 consisting of employee severance cost. During the fourth quarter of 2002, we recorded additional restructuring costs of $464,000 consisting of idle-lease space costs. We had previously taken cost reduction actions in July and October 2001, including the termination of an aggregate of approximately 40% of our workforce and the termination of certain sales facilities leases.

Significant Accounting Policies

General

        We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements

15



and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. To fully understand and evaluate our reported financial results, we believe it is important to understand our policies for revenue recognition, software development costs and stock options.

Revenue Recognition

        We recognize software license revenues upon delivery of our software to customers, provided persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the related receivable is probable. We allocate our software license revenues under arrangements where we sell software and services together under one contract to each element based on our relative fair values, with these fair values being determined using the price charged when that element is sold separately. If fair value for a delivered element does not exist but the fair value does exist for all undelivered elements, we defer the fair value of the undelivered elements and recognize the remaining value for the delivered elements.

        We generally recognize software license revenues from resellers or distributors at the time of shipment, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria set forth in governing statements of position on software revenue recognition have been met. We recognize services revenues from software maintenance agreements ratably over the term of the maintenance period, typically one year. We recognize services revenues from training as the services are performed. Amounts collected or billed prior to satisfying the above revenue recognition criteria are reflected as deferred revenue.

Software Development Costs

        We account for software development costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed. Software development costs incurred from the point of reaching technological feasibility until the time of general product release should be capitalized. We define technological feasibility as the completion of a working model. Because we sell our products in a market that is subject to rapid technological change, new product development and changing customer needs, we have concluded that technological feasibility is not established until the development stage of the product is nearly complete. For us, the period in which we can capitalize software development costs is very short, so the amounts that could be capitalized are not material to our financial statements. Therefore, we have charged all such costs to research and development expense in the period incurred.

Stock Options

        We account for stock options issued to employees under the intrinsic method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board, or APB, Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under this approach we do not record any expense unless the exercise price is greater than the fair market price of our ordinary shares on the date of grant. We have provided disclosures of impact to our reported net loss and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

Years Ended December 31, 2001 and 2002

Revenues

        Total Revenues.    Total revenues decreased $2.9 million, or 33.3%, from $8.6 million in 2001 to $5.8 million in 2002. Total revenues decreased due to a $2.5 million decrease in total revenues from customers in the U.S. and a $355,000 decrease in total revenues from international customers. Total revenues from U.S. customers decreased from $6.1 million in 2001 to $3.6 million in 2002 due to lower unit volume sales of software licenses experienced primarily in the second half of 2001 and continuing throughout 2002 and a reduction in related service revenues. Total revenues from international customers decreased from $2.6 million in 2001 to $2.2 million in 2002 due to lower unit volume sales of software licenses, offset, in part, by an increase in service revenues.

        Software Licenses.    Software license revenues decreased $2.4 million, or 41.9%, from $5.8 million in 2001 to $3.4 million in 2002. Total software license revenues from U.S. customers decreased from $3.8 million in 2001 to $1.9 million in 2002 due to lower unit volume sales arising primarily in the second half of 2001 and continuing throughout 2002 attributable to weakness in the U.S. economy and slower technology spending. Total revenues from international customers decreased from $2.0 million in 2001 to $1.5 million in 2002 due to lower unit volume sales due to slower technology spending throughout Europe.

17



        Services.    Services revenues consist primarily of revenue from annual support and maintenance contracts, and to a lesser extent, training and consulting services. Service revenues decreased $438,000, or 15.5%, from $2.8 million in 2001 to $2.4 million in 2002. The decrease was due to a decline of $608,000 of service revenues in the U.S., offset, in part, by an increase of $170,000 in services revenues from international customers. Service revenues from U.S. customers decreased from $2.3 million in 2001 to $1.7 million in 2002 due to a slow-down in product revenues, from which services revenues are derived. Service revenues from international customers increased from $549,000 in 2001 to $719,000 in 2002 due to a larger installed customer base internationally.

Cost of Revenues

        Cost of Software Licenses.    Cost of software licenses consists principally of direct product costs, such as product media and packaging, as well as royalties due to third parties. Cost of software licenses was $271,000 in 2001, or 4.6% of software license revenue, compared to $63,000 in 2002, or 1.9% of software license revenue. The decrease was due to the absence in 2002 of royalty costs to the Government of Israel, through the Office of Chief Scientist, as we had fully provided for our maximum liability for these royalties in 2001.

        Nonrecurring Royalty Reversal.    The nonrecurring royalty reversal relates to a change in estimate of our royalty obligations to the Government of Israel, through the Office of Chief Scientist. Through 1996, we received grants totaling $605,000 from the Office of the Chief Scientist that were used to fund a predecessor product. We were obligated to pay royalties based on revenues derived from sales of products funded with these grants, up to 150% of certain grant amounts received. In October 2002, the Office of Chief Scientist completed its examination of our technology and our use of grant funds and concluded that our remaining royalty obligation was $166,000. As a result, we reversed $448,000 of accrued royalties, which has been reflected as a reduction in cost of product sales during the fourth quarter of 2002.

        Cost of Services.    Cost of services consists principally of personnel-related costs associated with customer support and training. Cost of services was $1.2 million in 2001, or 41.5% of service revenues, compared to $631,000 in 2002, or 26.5% of service revenue. This decrease was due to reduced personnel costs to provide support and maintenance services resulting from the headcount reductions taken in the second half of 2001 and the first half of 2002.

Operating Expenses

        Sales and Marketing.    Sales and marketing expenses consist principally of salaries and commissions earned by sales personnel, recruiting costs, trade show costs, travel and other marketing costs such as advertising and product promotion. Sales and marketing expenses were $13.9 million in 2001, or 160.7% of total revenues, compared to $5.3 million in 2002, or 91.1% of total revenues. This decrease was due primarily to a 65% reduction of headcount in sales and marketing personnel and approximately $1.8 million in reductions in discretionary marketing program costs. We expect that sales and marketing expenses in 2003 will remain relatively constant compared to 2002.

        Research and Development.    Research and development expenses consist principally of salaries and related expenses required to develop and enhance our products. Research and development expenses were $6.0 million in 2001, or 69.9% of total revenues, compared to $3.3 million in 2002, or 57.5% of total revenues. This decrease was due primarily to a 38% reduction of headcount in research and development personnel. We expect that research and development expenses in 2003 will remain relatively constant compared to 2002.

        General and Administrative.    General and administrative expenses consist principally of executive, finance and administrative salaries and related expenses. General and administrative expenses were

18



$2.9 million in 2001, or 33.0% of total revenues, compared to $2.2 million in 2002, or 38.5% of total revenues. The decrease in absolute dollars was due to a 58% reduction of headcount in general and administrative personnel. We expect that general and administrative expenses in 2003 will remain relatively constant compared to 2002.

        Stock-based Compensation.    Stock-based compensation expense reflects the accounting charge relating to the issuance of equity instruments to employees at an exercise price below fair market value and to all equity instruments issued to nonemployees. For stock options granted to employees, the difference between the exercise price and the estimated fair value of the ordinary shares on the date options are granted is charged to operations as stock-based compensation expense over the vesting period of the underlying options. For stock options granted to nonemployees, the value of a particular grant as determined by the Black-Scholes valuation model is charged to operations as stock-based compensation expense over the service period or vesting period of the underlying option. Stock-based compensation expense was $878,000 in 2001 compared to $509,000 in 2002. The decrease resulted from the cancellation of employee stock options for terminated employees for whom stock-based compensation was originally recorded.

        Deferred compensation on the unvested options is included as a component of shareholders' equity and amortized to stock-based compensation expense over the vesting period of the underlying options. Deferred stock-based compensation totaled $536,000 at December 31, 2002, and will result in additional charges to operations through May 2004.

        Nonrecurring Expenses.    Nonrecurring expenses consist of restructuring charges and other nonrecurring costs. Nonrecurring expenses were $1.7 million in 2001 and $929,000 in 2002. Nonrecurring expenses in 2001 consisted of restructuring charges of $1.4 million and a payment of $237,000 for the termination of a facility lease agreement in March 2001.

        The restructuring charges recorded in 2001 totaled $1.4 million and were incurred in July 2001 and October 2001, when we implemented two separate restructuring plans to lower operating costs. The restructuring plans and related charges recorded in 2001 consisted of severance costs for terminated employees of $634,000, idle lease space costs of $339,000, fixed asset impairment costs of $369,000 and vendor contract termination fees of $91,000. A total of 62 employees were terminated, or approximately 40% of the workforce, of whom 37 employees were from sales and marketing, 12 employees were from research and development, and 13 employees were from general and administrative.

        The restructuring charges recorded in 2002 were incurred as a result of the implementation of additional restructuring plans in an effort to further lower operating costs. The restructuring charges totaled $929,000 and consisted of severance costs for terminated employees of $349,000, idle-lease costs of $474,000, fixed asset impairment costs of $96,000 and other costs of $10,000. A total of 28 employees were terminated, or approximately 31% of the then current workforce, of whom 15 employees were from sales and marketing, 11 employees were from research and development, and two employees were from general and administrative. Restructuring charges accrued but not paid as of December 31, 2002 totaled $612,000, and consist of estimated idle lease costs. Amounts payable within one year have been classified as a current liability.

        Interest Income, Net.    Interest income, net consists principally of interest earned on cash investments offset, in part, by interest expense incurred in connection with long-term debt. Interest income, net was $693,000 in 2001 compared to $127,000 in 2002. The decrease resulted from lower invested cash balances and lower interest rates in 2002 as compared to 2001.

        Other Income, Net.    Other income, net consists principally of currency translation gains and losses. Other income, net was $20,000 in 2001 and $34,000 in 2002. The increase resulted from exchange rate fluctuations.

19



        Income Taxes.    We have estimated net operating loss carryforwards for Israeli tax purposes totaling approximately $14.0 million through December 31, 2002 that would reduce future Israeli income taxes, if any. These net operating losses may be carried forward indefinitely and offset against future taxable income. There will be no tax benefit available from these losses and no deferred income taxes have been included in our financial statements.

        Our U.S. subsidiary has net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. Federal and state tax purposes totaling approximately $26.2 million through December 31, 2002. These losses are available to offset any future U.S. taxable income of the U.S. subsidiary and will expire between 2012 and 2022. We have recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty surrounding the ability and the timing of the realization of these tax benefits.

Years Ended December 31, 2000 and 2001

Revenues

        Total Revenues.    Total revenues decreased $2.1 million, or 19.9%, from $10.8 million in 2000 to $8.6 million in 2001. Total revenues decreased due to a $2.8 million decrease in total revenues from customers in the U.S. offset, in part, by a $700,000 increase in total revenues from international customers. Total revenues from U.S. customers decreased from $8.9 million in 2000 to $6.1 million in 2001 due to lower unit volume sales of software licenses experienced primarily in the second half of 2001, offset, in part, by an increase in service revenues. Total revenues from international customers increased from $1.9 million in 2000 to $2.6 million in 2001 due to higher unit volume sales of software licenses and an increase in service revenues.

        Software Licenses.    Software license revenues decreased $3.2 million, or 35.2%, from $9.0 million in 2000 to $5.8 million in 2001. Total software license revenues from U.S. customers decreased from $7.4 million in 2000 to $3.8 million in 2001 due to lower unit volume sales arising primarily in the second half of 2001 attributable to weakness in the U.S. economy, slower technology spending, and uncertainty after the events on September 11, 2001. Total revenues from international customers increased from $1.6 million in 2000 to $2.0 million in 2001 due to higher unit volume sales due to the expansion of our European sales force and establishment of distribution channels in Japan in the second half of 2000.

        Services.    Service revenues increased $1.0 million, or 56.8%, from $1.8 million in 2000 to $2.8 million in 2001. This increase was due to provision of support and maintenance services to a larger installed customer base in both the U.S. and internationally.

Cost of Revenues

        Cost of Software Licenses.    Cost of software licenses consists principally of direct product costs, such as product media and packaging, as well as royalties due to third parties. Cost of software licenses was $572,000 in 2000, or 6.4% of software license revenue, compared to $271,000 in 2001, or 4.6% of software license revenue. The decrease was due to lower royalty costs for third-party software in 2001.

        Cost of Services.    Cost of services consists principally of personnel-related costs associated with customer support and training. Cost of services was $478,000 in 2000, or 26.6% of service revenues, compared to $1.2 million in 2001, or 41.6% of service revenue. The increase was due to an increase in the number of employees providing support and maintenance services.

Operating Expenses

        Sales and Marketing.    Sales and marketing expenses consist principally of salaries and commissions earned by sales personnel, recruiting costs, trade show costs, travel and other marketing costs such as

20


advertising and product promotion. Sales and marketing expenses were $11.6 million in 2000, or 107.5% of total revenues, compared to $13.9 million in 2001, or 160.7% of total revenues. The increase was due to higher spending in 2001 for marketing programs, such as advertising, trade shows and lead-generation activities and the expansion of our sales and marketing workforce during the first half of 2001. In the second half of 2001, we reduced our sales and marketing workforce from 82 employees at June 30, 2001 to 45 employees at December 31, 2001, a decrease of 37 employees, or approximately 45%. Sales and marketing expenses were reduced by $292,000 in the fourth quarter of 2001 as a result of the reversal of previously accrued annual bonuses and related expenses because of the reduction in our work force. This adjustment reduced total sales and marketing expenses by 15.0% in the fourth quarter of 2001 and 2.0% in 2001.

        Research and Development.    Research and development expenses consist principally of salaries and related expenses required to develop and enhance our products. Research and development expenses were $5.2 million in 2000, or 48.4% of total revenues, compared to $6.0 million in 2001, or 70.0% of total revenues. The increase was due to increased personnel costs incurred during the first half of 2001. In the second half of 2001, we reduced our research and development workforce from 52 employees at June 30, 2001 to 40 employees at December 31, 2001, a decrease of 12 employees, or approximately 23%. Research and development expenses were reduced by $110,000 in the fourth quarter of 2001 as a result of the reversal of previously accrued annual bonuses and related expenses and year-end employee benefit programs because of the reduction in our work force. This adjustment reduced total research and development expenses by 10.7% in the fourth quarter of 2001 and 1.8% in 2001.

        General and Administrative.    General and administrative expenses consist principally of executive, finance and administrative salaries and related expenses and costs. General and administrative expenses were $3.1 million in 2000, or 28.4% of total revenues, compared to $2.9 million in 2001, or 33.0% of total revenues. The decrease was due to a reduction during the second half of 2001 in our general and administrative workforce from 24 employees at June 30, 2001 to 11 employees at December 31, 2001, a decrease of 13 employees, or approximately 54%. General and administrative expenses were reduced by $198,000 in the fourth quarter of 2001 as a result of the reversal of previously accrued annual bonuses and related expenses and year-end employee benefit programs because of the reduction in our work force. This adjustment reduced total general and administrative expenses by 32.6% in the fourth quarter of 2001 and 6.5% in 2001.

        Stock-based Compensation.    Stock-based compensation expense reflects the accounting charge relating to the issuance of equity instruments to employees at an exercise price below fair market value and to all equity instruments issued to nonemployees. For stock options granted to employees, the difference between the exercise price and the estimated fair value of the ordinary shares on the date options are granted is charged to operations as stock-based compensation expense over the vesting period of the underlying options. For stock options granted to nonemployees, the value of a particular grant as determined by the Black-Scholes valuation model is charged to operations as stock-based compensation expense over the service period or vesting period of the underlying option. Stock-based compensation expense was $1.4 million in 2000 compared to $878,000 in 2001. The decrease resulted from the cancellation of employee stock options for terminated employees for whom stock-based compensation was originally recorded.

        Nonrecurring Expenses.    Nonrecurring expenses consist of restructuring charges and other nonrecurring costs. There were no nonrecurring expenses in 2000. Nonrecurring expenses were $1.7 million in 2001 that consisted of restructuring charges of $1.4 million and a payment of $237,000 to a landlord incurred upon the termination of a facility lease agreement in March 2001.

        The $1.4 million in restructuring charges were incurred in July 2001 and October 2001, when we implemented two separate restructuring plans in an effort to lower operating costs. The restructuring plans and related charges recorded in 2001 consisted of severance costs for terminated employees of

21


$634,000, idle lease space costs of $339,000, fixed asset impairment costs of $369,000 and vendor contract termination fees of $91,000. A total of 62 employees were terminated, or approximately 40% of the workforce, of whom 37 employees were from sales and marketing, 12 employees were from research and development, and 13 employees were from general and administrative. Restructuring charges accrued but not paid as of December 31, 2001 totaled $231,000, and consist of estimated idle lease costs. Amounts payable within one year have been classified as a current liability.

        Interest Income, Net.    Interest income, net consists principally of interest earned on cash investments offset, in part, by interest expense incurred in connection with long-term debt. Interest income, net was $565,000 in 2000 compared to $693,000 in 2001. Interest income, net increased due to an increase in interest income in 2001 from investment of the net proceeds of the initial public offering of our ordinary shares in August 2000 and a decrease in interest expense resulting from the repayment of all outstanding long-term debt during the first quarter of 2001.

        Other Income, Net.    Other income, net consists principally of currency translation gains and losses. Other income, net was $18,000 in 2000 and $20,000 in 2001. The change was due to exchange rate fluctuations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Cash and cash equivalents totaled $13.2 million as of December 31, 2001 and $7.6 million as of December 31, 2002.

        Cash used in operating activities was $6.3 million in 2000, $15.7 million in 2001 and $5.4 million in 2002. Cash used in operating activities in 2000 was due to a net loss of $11.0 million, an increase of $1.2 million in accounts receivable and an increase of $406,000 in prepaid expenses, offset, in part, by depreciation of $668,000, amortization of deferred compensation of $1.4 million, other non-cash charges of $475,000, an increase of $2.7 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and an increase of $1.0 million in deferred revenue. Cash used in operating activities in 2001 was due to a net loss of $17.4 million, a decrease of $2.0 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses and a decrease of $102,000 in deferred revenue, offset, in part, by depreciation of $1.1 million, $369,000 of asset impairment write-offs, amortization of deferred compensation of $878,000, other non-cash charges of $92,000, a decrease of $1.0 million in accounts receivable, a decrease of $229,000 in prepaid expenses, and an increase of $231,000 in accrued restructuring charges. Cash used in operating activities in 2002 was due to a net loss of $6.5 million, an increase of $7,000 in prepaid expenses, a decrease of $903,000 in accounts payable and accrued expenses and a decrease of $306,000 in deferred revenue, offset, in part, by depreciation of $875,000, amortization of deferred compensation of $509,000, fixed asset impairment write-off of $96,000, other non-cash charges of $51,000, a decrease of $419,000 in accounts receivable, and an increase of $381,000 in accrued restructuring charge.

        Cash used in investing activities was $2.1 million in 2000, $677,000 in 2001 and $182,000 in 2002. Cash used in investing activities in 2000 was for the purchase of $2.4 million in property and equipment and an increase of $241,000 in other assets, offset, in part, by $513,000 in proceeds from the sale of short-term investments. Cash used in investing activities in 2001 was for the purchase of $605,000 in property and equipment and an increase of $72,000 in other assets. Cash used in investing activities in 2002 was for the purchase of $111,000 in property and equipment and an increase of $71,000 in other assets.

        Cash provided by financing activities was $34.2 million in 2000. Cash used in financing activities was $3.9 million in 2001. There was no cash activity from financing activities in 2002. Cash provided by financing activities in 2000 consisted of $35.3 million in net proceeds from the initial public offering and $406,000 from the issuance of ordinary and preferred shares prior to the completion of the initial public offering, offset, in part, by $1.4 million used for the repayment of principal on the related party

22



loans. Cash used in financing activities in 2001 consisted of $3.8 million for the repayment of long-term loans with a bank and $100,000 for the purchase of our ordinary shares.

        In April 2001, our board of directors approved a stock repurchase program under which we may repurchase our ordinary shares for an aggregate consideration that shall not exceed $2.5 million. Purchases may be made based on market conditions from time-to-time at the discretion of management in open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions. Through December 31, 2002, we repurchased 134,000 of our ordinary shares at an aggregate cost of $100,000.

        We lease all of our office facilities under noncancellable operating leases that expire over varying terms through 2005. As of December 31, 2002, the future total lease payments under these leases are as follows: $588,000 in 2003, $536,000 in 2004, and $129,000 in 2005.

        We expect that operating expenses, as well as planned capital expenditures, will constitute a material use of our cash resources. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our anticipated needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. We may find it necessary to obtain additional equity or debt financing. In the event additional financing is required, we may not be able to complete financing on acceptable terms or at all.

Impact of Inflation and Currency Fluctuations

        A large portion of our revenues is received, and a large portion of our expenses is incurred, in U.S. dollars. Revenues denominated in U.S. dollars as a percent of total revenues were 82.7% in 2000, 92.9% in 2001 and 89.9% in 2002. Expenses denominated in U.S. dollars as a percent of total expenses were 69.0% in 2000, 70.4% in 2001, and 75.8% in 2002.

        A portion of our expenses, mainly salary and personnel costs related to our employees in Israel, is incurred in New Israeli Shekels, or NIS. The salaries of our Israel-based employees are partially linked to increases in the Israeli consumer price index. As a result, the U.S. dollar cost of our Israeli operations is influenced by inflation in Israel as well as the currency exchange rate between the NIS in relation to the U.S. dollar. Any increase in the rate of inflation in Israel may have a negative effect on our operating results, unless such inflation is offset by a devaluation of the NIS in relation to the U.S. dollar. Exchange rates between the NIS and the dollar fluctuate continuously, and therefore exchange rate fluctuations and especially larger periodic devaluations will have an impact on our operating results and period-to-period comparisons of its results. The effects of foreign currency translations are reported in our financial statements in current operating results. We believe that neither inflation in Israel, nor exchange rate fluctuations between the NIS and the U.S. dollar, historically has had a material effect on our operations.

        In addition to our operations in Israel, we also conduct operations in Germany and the United Kingdom. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar or NIS were not material.

Government Grants

        The Government of Israel, through the Office of the Chief Scientist, encourages research and development projects that result in products for export. Through 1996, we received grants totaling $605,000 from the Office of the Chief Scientist that were used primarily to fund a predecessor product. We were obligated to pay royalties based on revenues derived from sales of products funded with these grants, up to 150% of certain grant amounts received. In October 2002, the Office of Chief Scientist completed its examination of our technology and use of grant funding and concluded that our remaining royalty obligation was $166,000. As a result, we have reversed $448,000 of accrued royalties that has been recorded as a reduction in cost of product sales during the fourth quarter of 2002.

23



Effective Corporate Tax Rate

        Israeli companies are generally subject to tax at the rate of 36.0% of taxable income. However, we have derived, and expect to continue to derive, a substantial portion of our income under our Approved Enterprise capital investment program. Subject to compliance with applicable requirements, this income will be tax exempt for a period of two years and will be subject to a reduced corporate tax rate of 25.0% in the following five years. If we do not comply with the applicable requirements, the tax benefits may be canceled. We believe that we comply with these conditions. If we operate under more than one approval, or if our capital investments are only partially approved, our effective tax rate will be a weighted combination of the various applicable tax rates. We may not be able to obtain approval for additional Approved Enterprise programs. Since we have incurred tax losses through December 31, 2002, we have not yet used the tax benefits for which we are eligible.

Market Risk

        We currently do not invest in, or hold for trading or other purposes, any financial instruments subject to market risk. We currently do not have any outstanding borrowings or other credit facilities.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

        In June 2002, SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, was issued. SFAS No. 146 addresses the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities. SFAS No. 146 requires that costs associated with exit or disposal activities be recognized when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS No. 146 is effective for all exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 146 to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

        Statements in this Annual Report of Form 10-K concerning our business outlook or future performance; anticipated revenues, expenses or other financial items; product introductions and plans and objectives related thereto; and statements concerning assumptions made or expectations as to any future events, conditions, performance or other matters, are "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined under U.S. federal securities laws. Discussions containing forward-looking statements may be found in the material set forth under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" as well as in this report generally. We generally use words such as "believe," "may," "could," "will," "intend," "estimate," "expect," "anticipate," "plan," and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated in such statements. These risks, uncertainties and factors include, but are not limited to: our limited operating history and history of losses; significant competition; and other factors detailed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, they related only to events as of the date on which the statements are made, and we cannot assure you that its future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements will meet these expectation. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. We do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as required by law.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Status

General

        We will be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes in any tax year if, in such tax year, either 75% or more of our gross income is passive in nature, also referred to as the Income Test, or, on average for such tax year, 50% or more of our assets, at fair value, produce or are held for the production of passive income, also referred to as the Asset Test. We must make a separate determination each year as to whether we are a PFIC. As a result, our PFIC status may change. Classification of a company as a PFIC has important and adverse tax implications to any U.S. holder of a foreign corporation's stock, or a U.S. Holder.

        For purposes of this summary, a U.S. Holder is a holder that is, for U.S. income tax purposes:

        In applying the Asset Test, a foreign corporation will be classified as a PFIC if the average percentage of its assets during the tax year which produce, or are held for the production of, passive income, or Passive Assets, is 50% or more of its total assets. Our cash and cash equivalents are considered to be Passive Assets. The value of the total assets of a publicly-traded foreign corporation is generally equal to the sum of the aggregate value of its outstanding stock plus its liabilities. The Asset Test for a tax year generally is applied by averaging the results determined as of the end of each quarter of the tax year.

Our Determination of PFIC Status

        We believe we were a PFIC for the taxable years ended 2001 and 2002 due primarily to the decline in the market price of our ordinary shares relative to the value of our Passive Assets. If we were indeed a PFIC for these periods, a U.S. Holder who owned our shares in 2001 or 2002 will be subject to reporting requirements for that year and succeeding years, even if in subsequent years we are no longer a PFIC. U.S. Holders may also be subject to increased U.S. tax liabilities. If we cease to be a PFIC, a U.S. Holder may avoid PFIC classification for subsequent years upon making shareholder elections in certain circumstances, as described in greater detail below.

        We expect that we will be a PFIC in 2003. If our expectation is accurate, the same reporting obligations and tax consequences described below will apply to U.S. Holders who acquire shares during the 2003 taxable year.

Tax Consequences if We Are a PFIC

        There are no U.S. federal income tax consequences to a non-U.S. Holder if we are classified as a PFIC.

        If we are a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any year during a U.S. Holder's holding period of our ordinary shares and such U.S. Holder does not make either of the special elections described later, any gain recognized by a U.S. Holder upon the sale of ordinary shares, or upon the receipt of certain distributions, would be treated as ordinary income. Such income generally would be

25



allocated ratably over a U.S. Holder's holding period with respect to our ordinary shares. The amount allocated to prior years, with certain exceptions, will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect for those years and an interest charge would be imposed on the amount of deferred tax on the income allocated to the prior taxable years.

        Although we generally will be treated as a PFIC as to any U.S. Holder if we are a PFIC for any year during a U.S. Holder's holding period, if we cease to satisfy the requirements for PFIC classification, the U.S. Holder may avoid PFIC classification for subsequent years if the U.S. Holder elects to recognize gain based on the unrealized appreciation in the ordinary shares through the close of the tax year in which we cease to be a PFIC. Additionally, if we are a PFIC, a U.S. Holder who acquires ordinary shares from a decedent would be denied the normally available step-up in tax basis for our ordinary shares to fair market value at the date of death and instead would have a tax basis equal to the decedent's tax basis.

        For any tax year in which we are determined to be a PFIC, U.S. Holders may elect to treat their ordinary shares as an interest in a qualified electing fund, or a QEF Election, in which case the U.S. Holders would be required to include in income currently their proportionate share of our earnings and profits in years in which we are a PFIC regardless of whether distributions of such earnings and profits are actually distributed to such U.S. Holders. Any gain subsequently recognized upon the sale of their ordinary shares by such U.S. Holders generally would be taxed as capital gain and a denial of the basis step-up at death would not apply.

        A shareholder may make a QEF Election with respect to a PFIC for any taxable year of the shareholder. A QEF Election is effective for the year in which the election is made and all subsequent taxable years of the shareholder. Procedures exist for both retroactive elections and the filing of protective statements. A U.S. Holder making the QEF Election must make the election on or before the due date, as extended, for the filing of the shareholder's income tax return for the first taxable year to which the election will apply.

        A U.S. Holder must make a QEF Election by completing Form 8621, Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund, and attaching it to their U.S. federal income tax return, and must satisfy additional filing requirements each year the election remains in effect. We intend to provide to each shareholder, upon request, the tax information required to make a QEF Election and to make subsequent annual filings.

        As an alternative to a QEF Election, a U.S. Holder generally may be able to avoid the imposition of the special tax and interest charge described above by electing to mark to market the ordinary shares, or a Mark-to-Market Election, recognizing as ordinary income or loss for each taxable year, subject to certain limitations, the difference between the fair market value of the U.S. Holder's ordinary shares and the adjusted tax basis of such ordinary shares. Losses would be allowed only to the extent of the net mark-to-market gain accrued under the election. If a Mark-to-Market Election with respect to ordinary shares is in effect on the date of a U.S. Holder's death, the normally available step-up in tax basis to fair market value will not be available. Rather, the tax basis of such ordinary shares in the hands of a U.S. Holder who acquired them from a decedent will be the lesser of the decedent's tax basis or the fair market value of the ordinary shares.

        U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the eligibility, manner and advisability of making a QEF Election or a Mark-to-Market Election, and the effect of these elections on the calculation of the amount of foreign tax credit that may be available to a U.S. Holder.

        A U.S. Holder who beneficially owns shares of a PFIC must file Form 8621 with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service for each tax year in which the U.S. Holder holds stock in a PFIC. This form describes any distributions received with respect to these shares and any gain realized upon the disposition of these shares.

26



        The summary above is based on current provisions of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the final, temporary and proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary is limited to a description of certain of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders of our status as a PFIC and does not consider any other aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to U.S. Holders, nor does it consider all aspects of the PFIC regime that may be relevant to particular U.S. Holders by reason of their particular circumstances. This summary is directed only to U.S. Holders that hold ordinary shares as capital assets and does not address the considerations that may be applicable to particular classes of U.S. Holders, including tax-exempt organizations; holders of ordinary shares as part of a "straddle," "hedge" or "conversion transaction"; U.S. Holders who own, directly, indirectly or through attribution, 10% or more of our outstanding ordinary shares; and persons who own ordinary shares through a partnership or other pass-through entity.

        Rules relating to a PFIC are very complex. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of PFIC rules to their investments in our ordinary shares.

27


RISK FACTORS

Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results

        A number of uncertainties exist that could affect our operating results, including, without limitation, the following:

Risks Related to Our Operations

We have had losses since our inception and expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future.

        We incurred net losses of $11.0 million in 2000, $17.4 million in 2001 and $6.5 million in 2002. As of December 31, 2002, we had an accumulated deficit of $48.0 million. Moreover, we expect to continue to incur significant sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses. We expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future and cannot be certain if or when we will achieve profitability. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate, and if we fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts or our investors, our share price may decrease significantly and you could lose part or all of your investment.

        Our quarterly revenues and operating results have varied significantly in the past and are likely to continue to vary significantly in the future. Our future quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly and may not meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors. The factors that may cause fluctuations of our operating results include the following:

        Due to these and other factors, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon as indicators of our future performance. It is possible that in future periods our results of operations may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. If this occurs, the price of our ordinary shares may decline.

The slow-down in technology spending has had and could continue to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

        The deterioration of economies around the world and economic uncertainty that began in 2000 continued throughout 2002 and is still continuing. This has resulted in a curtailment of technology spending by many businesses across many industries. It has also reduced our ability to forecast orders, also referred to as "low visibility". We believe that this slow down in technology spending will continue and are uncertain as to when this slow-down will end. As a result of this slow-down, our revenues decreased from $10.8 million in 2000 to $8.6 million in 2001 to $5.8 million in 2002 The decline in technology spending has reduced our revenues, and may result in pressure on the price of our products and prolong the time until we are paid, all of which would have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations.

28



The terrorist attacks in the United States are impacting the global economy and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

        The terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001, followed by military action by the United States and the threat of continuing military action, are impacting the global economy. The future course of this conflict and its effect on the global economy and technology spending cannot be predicted. Terrorist attacks can have both direct and indirect impact on our business as a result of, among other things, attacks on our suppliers, employees, customers or research facilities, military service obligations of our key employees and changes in monetary and fiscal policies, all of which may have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations.

We expect to depend on sales of our WebLOAD and WebRM products for substantially all of our revenues for the foreseeable future.

        We anticipate that revenues from our WebLOAD and WebRM products will constitute substantially all of our revenues for the foreseeable future. Consequently, any decline in the demand for our WebLOAD and WebRM products or their failure to achieve broad market acceptance, would seriously harm our business.

If we fail to develop new products and enhance our existing products to respond to emerging technologies and industry trends, we may lose market share to our competitors and revenues may decline.

        The target market for our products is characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions, changes in customer requirements, evolving industry standards and significant competition. We expect to introduce new products and develop enhancements to our existing products. Our future financial performance depends upon our ability to timely identify new market trends and Internet technology and to develop and commercialize software that is compatible with these emerging trends and technologies. We may not accurately identify trends and technologies or we may experience difficulties that delay or prevent the successful development, introduction or marketing of new or enhanced software products in the future. In addition, our products may not meet the requirements of the marketplace or achieve market acceptance. If we fail to successfully and timely develop and deploy new products or product enhancements, we may lose market share to our competitors and our revenues may decline.

        In addition, our existing software products could become obsolete and unmarketable with the introduction of products, web applications or computer systems employing new technologies or industry standards. If our current software products become obsolete and we fail to introduce new products, our business will not be viable. Further, if our competitors introduce products earlier or that are more responsive than our products to emerging technologies and market trends, we will lose market share to our competitors and our revenues may decline.

We face significant competition from other technology companies and we may not be able to compete effectively.

        The web application performance and testing solutions market is intensely competitive, subject to rapid change and significantly affected by new product introductions and other activities of market participants. Our primary competitors include companies who mainly offer application-testing software, such as Mercury Interactive. In addition, we compete against companies that provide a broader spectrum of development tools that include some verification functionality, such as Rational Software.

        We expect that competition will intensify in the future and that additional competitors will enter the market with competing products as the size and visibility of the market opportunity increases. Increased competition is likely to result in pricing pressures, reduced margins and may result in the

29



failure of our products to achieve or maintain market acceptance, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

        Some of our competitors have longer operating histories, better brand recognition, a larger installed base of customers and substantially greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or customer requirements.

        Many of our competitors also have broader and more established distribution channels that may be used to deliver competing products directly to customers through bundling or other means. If competitors were to bundle competing products with their products, the demand for our products might be substantially reduced and our ability to distribute our products successfully would be substantially diminished. The entry of new competitors into our market could reduce our sales, require us to lower our prices, or both. Many of the factors that affect competition are outside our control, and there can be no assurance that we can maintain or enhance our competitive position against current and future competitors.

Our sales cycle depends partly on factors outside our control and may cause our revenues to vary significantly.

        Our customers view the purchase of our products as an important decision. As a result, our customers may take a long time to evaluate our products before making their purchase decisions and this could result in a long, and often unpredictable, sales and implementation cycle for our products. This may cause our revenues and results of operations to vary significantly from period to period. In addition, we may expend significant sales and marketing expenses during the evaluation period before the customer places an order with us. Our customers often begin by purchasing our products on a pilot basis before they decide whether or not to purchase additional licenses for broader use within their organizations.

        We usually have no significant order backlog. This makes revenues in any quarter substantially dependent upon orders we receive and deliver in that quarter. Because of this, our revenues and results of operations in any quarter may not meet market expectations or be indicative of future performance and it may be difficult for you to evaluate our prospects.

Defects in our products may increase our costs and diminish the demand for our products.

        Our products are complex and they have occasionally contained, and may in the future contain, undetected errors when first introduced or when new versions are released. If our products do not perform as intended in specific company environments, we may incur warranty and repair costs, be subject to liability and experience delays. Regardless of the source of the errors, we must divert the attention of our engineering personnel from our research and development efforts to address any errors. We may incur warranty or repair costs, be subject to liability claims for damages related to product errors or experience delays as a result of these errors in the future. Any insurance policies that we may have may not provide sufficient protection should a claim be asserted. Moreover, the occurrence of errors, whether caused by our products or the products of another vendor, may result in significant customer relation problems and injury to our reputation and may impair the market acceptance of our products and technology.

Failure to develop strategic relationships could limit our growth.

        We believe that our success in penetrating our target markets depends in part on our ability to develop and maintain strategic relationships with resellers, systems integrators and distribution partners. If we are unable to maintain our existing marketing and distribution relationships, or fail to enter into additional relationships, we will have to devote substantially more resources to direct sales and marketing of our products. In addition, licenses of our products through indirect channels have been

30



limited to date. Our existing relationships do not, and any future relationships may not, afford us exclusive marketing or distribution rights. Therefore, our partners could reduce their commitment to us at any time in the future. In addition, many of these partners have multiple relationships and they may not regard us as significant for their business. In addition, these partners may terminate their relationships with us, pursue other relationships with our competitors or develop or acquire products that compete with our products. Even if we succeed in entering into these relationships, they may not result in additional customers or revenues.

Future acquisitions may be difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute shareholder value or divert management attention.

        As part of our business strategy, we may seek to acquire or invest in businesses, products or technologies that we believe would complement or expand our business, augment our market coverage, enhance our technical capabilities or otherwise offer growth opportunities. Acquisitions could create risks for us, including:

        In addition, if we consummate acquisitions through an exchange of our securities, shareholders could suffer significant dilution. Any future acquisitions, even if successfully completed, may not generate any additional revenue or provide any benefit to our business.

If we fail to manage our geographically dispersed organization, we may fail to implement our business plan and our revenues may decline.

        We have our principal executive offices in the U.S. and conduct our research and development primarily in Israel. In addition, we have sales offices in the U.S., Israel, Germany and the United Kingdom. Our directors, executive officers and other key employees are similarly dispersed throughout the world. Our management must devote resources to manage geographically diverse operations. In addition, conducting international operations subjects us to risks we do not face in the United States. These include:

        Failure to manage our geographically dispersed organization could harm our business.

31



The success of our business depends on our senior management, including Ilan Kinreich, our Chief Executive Officer and President, whose knowledge of our business and expertise would be difficult to replace.

        Our success depends largely on the continued contributions of our senior management. In particular, we depend on the services of Ilan Kinreich, our Chief Executive Officer and President. Employment agreements with our senior management team and other key personnel, including Mr. Kinreich, do not require a specified service obligation. We also do not carry life insurance on our senior management or other key personnel. If one or more members of our senior management were to terminate their employment, we could experience delays in product development, loss of sales and diversion of management resources.

We may not be able to retain our existing personnel, which could negatively impact development, sales and support of our products.

        In July 2001, October 2001 and January 2002, we reduced the number of our employees in order to reduce our operating expenses. As a result, our success depends on our ability to retain our existing experienced employees. If we fail to retain our current employees, our revenues could decline. Competition for qualified personnel is intense, and we may not be able to retain our highly qualified personnel. Our future success also depends upon the continued service of our key sales, marketing and support personnel. In addition, our products and technologies are complex and we are substantially dependent upon the continued service of our existing engineering personnel. None of our key employees are bound by an employment agreement that requires a specified service obligation. If we are not able to retain our existing personnel, we could have difficulty developing, selling or supporting our products.

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights and we may lose a valuable asset or incur costly and time-consuming litigation attempting to protect our rights.

        Our success depends upon the protection of our technology, trade secrets and trademarks. To protect our rights to our intellectual property, we rely on a combination of trade secret protection, patent law, trademark law, confidentiality agreements and other contractual arrangements. The protective steps we have taken may be inadequate to deter infringement or misappropriation. We may be unable to detect the unauthorized use of our intellectual property or take appropriate steps to enforce our intellectual property rights. Policing unauthorized use of our products and technology is difficult. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries in which we currently or may in the future sell our products do not protect our proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States.

        Failure to adequately protect against or to promptly detect unauthorized use of our intellectual property could devalue our proprietary content and impair our ability to compete effectively. Defending our intellectual property rights could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources, whether or not the defense is successful. Our means of protecting our proprietary rights may not be adequate and our competitors may independently develop similar technology, or duplicate our products or our other intellectual property. We may have to resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or know-how or to determine the scope, validity or enforceability of our intellectual property rights. Our protective measures may prove inadequate to protect our proprietary rights, and any failure to enforce or protect our rights could cause us to lose a valuable asset.

32



We may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims that, with or without merit, could be costly to defend or settle.

        Substantial litigation regarding intellectual property rights exists in the software industry. 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 products in different industry segments overlaps. Third parties may make a claim of infringement against us with respect to our products and technology or claims that our intellectual property rights are invalid. Any claims, with or without merit, could:

        In addition, if our products were found to infringe a third party's proprietary rights, we could be required to enter into royalty or licensing agreements in order to continue to be able to sell our products. Royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. A successful claim of product infringement against us and our failure or inability to license the infringed or similar technology could harm our business.

We do not have sufficient insurance to cover all of our potential product liability and warranty claims.

        Companies use our products to assure the performance of their web applications. In many cases, web applications serve critical business functions. The sale and support of our products may entail the risk of product liability or warranty claims based on our products not detecting critical errors or problems with web applications that fail in a "live" environment and cause companies financial loss. In addition, the failure of our products to perform to customer expectations could give rise to warranty claims. Although we seek to limit our exposure to claims under our license terms and we carry general liability insurance, it is unlikely that our insurance would cover potential claims of this type and our insurance may not be adequate to protect us from all liability that may be imposed. If we are subject to any claims, our results of operations may be harmed.

We may need additional capital to finance our operations and may not be able to raise additional financing.

        We may need to raise additional capital to finance our operations if we are unable to generate cash flow from operations. Through December 31, 2002, we have been using cash in operating our business. We cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. This could inhibit our ability to run our business.

The market price of our ordinary shares has fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate significantly.

        Our stock price has fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate significantly. The price of our ordinary shares has decreased significantly since August 2000. Fluctuations in our share price can occur for reasons that may be unrelated to operating results, including stock market-wide downturns and events in the technology industry as well as in Israel. These fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares.

There may be an adverse effect on the market price of our shares as a result of shares being available for sale in the future.

        If our shareholders sell substantial amounts of our ordinary shares, including shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options, the market price of our ordinary shares may decline. These sales

33



also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and place that we deem appropriate.

Our principal shareholders, executive officers and directors have substantial control over most matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders, thereby limiting the power of other shareholders to influence corporate action.

        As of February 28, 2003, our officers, directors and principal shareholders beneficially owned 72.9% of our outstanding ordinary shares. As a result, these shareholders may have the power to control the outcome of most matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, including the election of members of our board and the approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of making it more difficult to obtain approval for a change in control of us.

Risks Relating to Our Industry and the Internet

Our future revenues and profits, if any, depend upon the use of the Internet as an effective medium of business and communication

        Our success will depend, in large part, on the acceptance of the Internet to conduct business and on the ability of third parties to provide a reliable Internet infrastructure network with the speed, data capacity and security necessary for reliable Internet access and services. To the extent that the Internet continues to experience increased numbers of users, increased frequency of use or increased bandwidth requirements of users, the Internet infrastructure may not be able to support the demands placed on it and the performance or reliability of the Internet could suffer, resulting in decreased users and resulting harm to our business.

Our performance depends on the demand for high technology products and services.

        Our success depends heavily on the demand for products and services related to the high technology sector of the economy. Growth within this sector has slowed or even declined over the past 18 months. If demand for high technology products and services does not grow or even experiences negative growth, demand for our products and services will be reduced and our revenues will be negatively impacted

Risks Relating to Our Location in Israel

Conditions in Israel affect our operations and may limit our ability to produce and sell our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

        We are incorporated under Israeli law and our primary research and development facilities are located in Israel. Political, economic and military conditions in Israel directly affect our operations. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a state of hostility, varying in degree and intensity, has led to security and economic problems for Israel. Several countries still restrict business with Israeli companies as a result of the Israeli-Arab conflict. In particular, the hostilities between the State of Israel and the Palestinians have increased in the past two years. The future of peace efforts between Israel and its Arab neighbors is uncertain. In addition, military confrontations in the region, including Iraq, may ultimately involve the State of Israel. Any major hostilities involving Israel could lead to attacks on our suppliers, employees, customers or research facilities, military service obligations of our key employees, interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its trading partners, a significant increase in inflation, or a significant downturn in the economic or financial condition of Israel, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

34



If our key personnel are required to perform military service, we could experience disruptions in our business.

        A number of our key personnel in Israel have standing obligations to perform periodical reserve duty in the Israel Defense Forces and are subject to be called for active military duty at any time. If our key personnel are absent from our business for a significant period of time, we may experience disruptions in our business that could affect the development, sales or technical support of our products. As a result, we might not be able to compete in the market and our results of operations could be harmed.

Because substantially all of our revenues are generated in U.S. dollars, while a portion of our expenses is incurred in New Israeli Shekels, or NIS, inflation in Israel could harm our results of operations.

        Substantially all of our revenues are generated in U.S. dollars, while a portion of our expenses, primarily salaries and personnel expenses related to our Israeli facility, is in NIS. Our Israeli-based employees' salaries are influenced by inflation in Israel. As a result, any increase in the rate of inflation in Israel may have a negative impact on our dollar-measured operating results unless the inflation in Israel is offset by a devaluation of the NIS in relation to the U.S. dollar. In 2002, the rate of inflation in Israel was 6.5%. We cannot predict any future trends in the rate of inflation in Israel or trends in the rate of exchange between the NIS and the dollar. If the dollar cost of our operations in Israel increases, our dollar-measured results of operations will be adversely affected.

Israeli regulations may impact our ability to engage in research and development and export of our products in accordance with our current practices.

        Israeli law requires us to obtain a government license to engage in research and development of, and export of, the encryption technology incorporated in our products. We currently have government licenses to engage in production of our encryption technology in our products in their 40- and 128-bit versions. Our research and development activities in Israel would need to be modified to transfer this activity to our U.S. development organization, and our current practice of exporting our products from Israel to the U.S., with embedded encryption technology, would need to be changed if:

We currently benefit from government programs and tax benefits that may be discontinued or reduced.

        We received grants and currently receive tax benefits under Government of Israel programs. In order to maintain our eligibility for these programs and benefits, we must continue to meet specified conditions, including making specified investments in fixed assets and paying royalties with respect to grants received. We may not be able to continue to meet all of these conditions. In addition, some of these programs restrict our ability to manufacture particular products or transfer particular technology outside of Israel. If we fail to comply with these conditions in the future, the benefits received could be canceled and we could be required to refund any payments previously received under these programs or to retroactively pay tax on any income at a higher tax rate than that applying under these benefits. The Government of Israel has reduced the benefits available under these programs in recent years and we cannot guarantee that these programs and tax benefits will continue in the future at their current levels or at all. If the Government of Israel reduces or ends these tax benefits, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

35



It may be difficult to enforce a U.S. judgment against us or our officers and directors, or to assert U.S. securities laws claims in Israel or serve process on our officers and directors.

        We are incorporated in Israel. Our Chief Executive Officer and President resides in the United States under a pending application to adjust status to United States Permanent Resident, with an employment authorization document card. The chairman of the board of our directors is a nonresident of the United States and a portion of our assets and the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. Therefore, it may be difficult to enforce a judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of those persons or to effect service of process upon these persons in the United States. It may also be difficult to enforce civil liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws in original actions instituted in Israel.

The Israeli Companies Law may cause uncertainties regarding corporate governance; Israeli tax law may inhibit an acquisition of us.

        The Israeli Companies Law, 1999, which became effective on February 1, 2000, has brought about significant changes to Israeli corporate law. This law provides for new arrangements in various corporate areas, including shareholder voting rights, fiduciary obligations of shareholders and directors, mergers, tender offers, transactions involving related parties or significant shareholders, and anti-takeover provisions. Until a body of case law develops with respect to this new law, uncertainties will exist regarding its interpretation. These uncertainties could have the effect of inhibiting third party attempts to acquire us, and other transactions and decisions by or involving us.

        Israeli tax law treats some acquisitions, such as stock-for-stock exchanges between an Israeli company and a foreign company, less favorably than United States tax law. For example, Israeli tax law may subject a shareholder who exchanges our ordinary shares for shares in another corporation to immediate taxation.

Item 7A.    QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investing portfolio. We place our investments in instruments that meet high credit quality standards such as money market funds, government securities, and commercial paper. We limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. We do not expect any material loss with respect to our investment portfolio.

        We conduct business in various foreign currencies, primarily in Europe and the Middle East. As a result, we are exposed to the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on the U.S. dollar value of foreign currency-denominated revenues and expenses. We do not use foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge our foreign currency denominated receivables. Looking forward, there can be no assurance that changes in foreign currency rates, relative to the U.S. dollar, will not materially adversely affect our consolidated results.

RADVIEW SOFTWARE LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    Operations

        RadView Software Ltd., an Israeli corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") develops, markets and supports software that enables organizations to verify the scalability, efficiency and reliability of web applications, and facilitates their rapid development.

        The Company incurred net losses of $11.0 million in 2000, $17.4 million in 2001 and $6.5 million in 2002, and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $48.0 million as of December 31, 2002. The Company has funded these losses principally from proceeds from equity financing. In 2001 and 2002, the Company restructured its business to reduce total operating expenses by more than 60% through reductions in workforce and the termination of certain leases (see Note 3). Management believes that existing cash and cash equivalents will be adequate to fund operations into 2004.

2.    Significant Accounting Policies

        The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, applied on a consistent basis, are as follows:

(a)  Use of Estimates

        The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(b)  Financial Statements in U.S. Dollars

        The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in U.S. dollars because the currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company are conducted is the U.S. dollar. Substantially all of the Company's sales are in U.S. dollars. Most purchases of materials and components and most marketing costs are denominated in U.S. dollars. Therefore, the functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar.

        Transactions and balances denominated in U.S. dollars are presented at their original amounts. Transactions and balances in other currencies are remeasured into U.S. dollars in accordance with the principles set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board of the United States ("FASB") Statement of Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation. Accordingly, items have been remeasured as follows:

        All exchange gains and losses from the above-mentioned remeasurement are reflected in the statements of operations and were not material for all periods presented. The representative rate of exchange was U.S. $1.00 to 4.041 New Israeli Shekel ("NIS") at December 31, 2000, U.S. $1.00 to NIS 4.416 at December 31, 2001 and U.S. $1.00 to NIS 4.737 at December 31, 2002.

44


(c)  Principles of Consolidation

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and Sweden. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(d)  Cash Equivalents

        Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than 90 days. The Company's cash equivalents are invested in U.S. Treasury securities as of December 31, 2001 and 2002.

(e)  Accounts Receivable Reserves

        The Company provides for reserves against its accounts receivable that consist of an allowance for doubtful accounts and a reserve for sales returns. The allowance for doubtful accounts is computed for specific accounts, the collectibility of which is doubtful based upon the Company's experience. The provision for the allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded as general and administrative expense. In accordance with SFAS No. 48, Revenue Recognition when Right of Return Exists, the reserve for sales returns is computed based on the Company's experience with sales returns. The provision for sales returns is recorded as a reduction to revenues. A summary of the allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns reserve is as follows:

 
  Year Ended December 31,
 
 
  2000
  2001
  2002
 
 
  (In thousands)

 
Balance at the beginning of year   $ 150   $ 345   $ 209  
  Provision for doubtful accounts     66     136     92  
  Provision for sales returns     200         46  
  Write-offs     (71 )   (272 )   (176 )
   
 
 
 
Balance at the end of year   $ 345   $ 209   $ 171  
   
 
 
 

(f)  Property and Equipment

        Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:

Category

  Estimated Useful
Life
(In years)

Equipment   3
Office furniture   3 to 5
Leasehold improvements   Life of lease

        The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of the carrying amount of property and equipment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, and provides for any possible impairment loss based upon the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of such assets. Impairment losses were in respect of restructuring changes and amounted to $369,000 in 2001 and $97,000 in 2002.

(g)  Severance Pay

        In accordance with Israeli compensation law, the Company is required to make severance payments to Israeli employees upon their termination of employment. The amount of such severance

45


payments is based on the most recent monthly salary multiplied by the number of years of employment. Certain senior executives are entitled to receive additional severance pay. The Company has accrued for the estimated total cost of severance pay as computed as of the balance sheet date. Severance pay expense totaled to $291,000 in 2000, $92,000 in 2001 and $50,000 in 2002.

        The Company has partially funded its severance pay obligations by monthly deposits for insurance policies. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligation pursuant to Israeli severance pay law or labor agreements. The value of the deposited funds is based on the cash surrender value of these policies and is presented as an asset in the consolidated balance sheets.

(h)  Revenue Recognition

        The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, and SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions. SOP 98-9 requires the use of the residual method for recognition of revenues when vendor-specific objective evidence exists for undelivered elements but does not exist for delivered elements of a software arrangement. If fair value for a delivered element does not exist but the fair value does exist for all undelivered elements, the Company defers the fair value of the undelivered elements and recognizes the remaining value for the delivered elements.

        Revenues from software product licenses are recognized upon delivery of the software provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the related receivable is probable and no further obligations exist. Revenues under multiple-element arrangements, which may include software, software maintenance and training, are allocated to each element based on their respective fair values, based on vendor-specific objective evidence. This objective evidence represents the price of products and services when sold separately. Revenue is recognized for software licenses sold to resellers or distributors at the time of shipment, provided that all revenue recognition criteria set forth in SOP 97-2 are fulfilled.

        Revenues from software maintenance agreements are recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance period, which is typically one year. Revenues from training arrangements are recognized as the services are performed.

        The Company generally does not grant a right of return to its customers. When a right of return exists, revenue is deferred until the right of return expires, at which time revenue is recognized provided that all other revenue recognition criteria are met. The Company maintains a reserve for product returns (see Note 2(e)).

        Amounts collected or billed prior to satisfying the above revenue recognition criteria are reflected as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue primarily represents deferred maintenance revenue.

(i)  Advertising Expenses

        Advertising expenses are charged to the consolidated statements of operations as they are incurred. Advertising expenses totaled $640,000 in 2000, $218,000 in 2001, and $40,000 in 2002.

(j)  Research and Development Costs

        The Company has evaluated the establishment of technological feasibility of its products in accordance with SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed. The Company sells products in a market that is subject to rapid technological change, new product development and changing customer needs. Accordingly, the Company has concluded that technological feasibility is not established until the development stage of the product is nearly complete. The Company defines technological feasibility as the completion of a working model.

46


The time period during which costs could be capitalized from the point of reaching technological feasibility until the time of general product release is very short. Consequently, the amounts that could be capitalized are not material to the Company's financial position or results of operations. Therefore, the Company has charged all such costs to research and development expense in the period incurred.

(k)  Income Taxes

        The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS No. 109 prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to be reversed. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value.

(l)  Employee Stock Options

        At December 31, 2002, the Company has three stock option plans, which are described more fully in Note 10(h). The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations (collectively "APB No. 25"). Stock-based compensation included in the reported net loss relates to stock options issued to employees at an exercise price below the market price on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

Add: Stock-based compensation included in reported net loss     1,418     878     509  
Deduct: Total stock-based compensation expense under fair value based methods     (1,783 )   (1,622 )   (1,073 )

  As reported   $ (1.51 ) $ (1.07 ) $ (0.40 )
  Pro forma   $ (1.55 ) $ (1.11 ) $ (0.43 )

(m)  Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

        Basic and diluted net loss per share is presented in conformity with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, for all periods presented. Basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share was determined by dividing net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per ordinary share is the same as basic net loss per ordinary share for all periods presented, as the effects of the Company's potential additional ordinary shares were antidilutive.

47


        The net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders used in the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share in 2000 has been increased by the value of the stock dividend issued to certain Series A preferred shareholders at the closing of the initial public offering.

        Stock options outstanding as of each year end that were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would be antidilutive totaled approximately 3,355,000 in 2000, 3,140,000 in 2001 and 4,667,000 in 2002.

(n)  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        The Company's financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of these instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term maturity of such instruments.

(o)  Concentrations of Credit Risk

        Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivables.

        Cash and cash equivalents are invested mainly in U.S. dollars with major banks in Israel and the United States. Such deposits in the United States may be in excess of insured limits and are not insured in other jurisdictions. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company's investments are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments.

        Accounts receivable are derived from sales to customers located in the United States, Europe, Israel and Japan. The Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained with respect to those amounts that the Company has determined to be doubtful of collection.

        The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.

        For each of the three years ended December 31, 2002, no customer individually comprised greater than 10% of total revenue. At December 31, 2001, one customer represented 12% of total accounts receivable. At December 31, 2002, no customer represented greater than 10% of total accounts receivable.

(p)  Recent Accounting Standards

        In June 2002, SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, was issued. SFAS No. 146 addresses the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities. SFAS No. 146 requires that costs associated with exit or disposal activities be recognized when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS No. 146 is effective for all exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 146 to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.

(q)  Reclassification

        Certain prior year account balances have been reclassified to be consistent with the current year's presentation.

48


3.    Nonrecurring Expenses

        Nonrecurring expenses consist of restructuring charges and other nonrecurring costs. There were no nonrecurring expenses in 2000. Nonrecurring expenses totaled $1.7 million in 2001, which consisted of a $237,000 payment for the termination of a facility lease agreement in March 2001 and $1.4 million of restructuring charges. Nonrecurring expenses totaled $929,000 in 2002 and consisted exclusively of restructuring charges.

        The following is a reconciliation of the accrued restructuring charges for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002.

        Amounts payable within one year have been classified as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheets.

        The restructuring charges in 2001 were incurred in July 2001 and October 2001 when the Company implemented two separate restructuring plans to lower operating costs. Employee severance costs resulted from the termination of 61 employees, of whom 35 were sales and marketing employees, 12 were research and development employees, and 14 were general and administrative employees. The Company also incurred idle lease space and termination payments for offices worldwide that were no longer required as a result of the reduction in personnel. In determining the costs of idle lease space, the Company has estimated the vacancy period and sub-lease income.

        The restructuring charges in 2002 were incurred in January 2002 and December 2002, and related to additional employee severance costs, facility termination charges, fixed asset impairment, idle-lease space costs and vendor contract termination fees. Employee severance costs resulted from the termination of 28 employees, of whom 15 were sales and marketing employees, 11 were research and development employees, and 2 were general and administrative employees.

Other accrued expenses     611     399
   
 
    $ 2,351   $ 1,503
   
 

        Accrued royalties consist of amounts due to the Government of Israel through the Office of the Chief Scientist (the "OCS"). In connection with its research and development activities, the Company received $605,000 of participation payments from the OCS. In return for the OCS's participation, the Company was committed to pay royalties at a rate of 3% to 5% of sales of the developed product, up to 100% and 150% for certain grant amounts received. Through 2001, the Company accrued a total of $670,000, which had been recorded as royalty expense in costs of revenues. In October 2002, the Office of Chief Scientist completed its examination of the Company's technology and use of grant funding and concluded that the Company's remaining royalty obligation was $166,000. The remaining obligation is payable in three equal installments, of which one was made in 2002, and the other two will be due in 2003. The Company reversed $448,000 of accrued royalties as a reduction in cost of sales during the fourth quarter of 2002.

50


7.  Related Party Loan

        In 1993, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a shareholder (the "Related Party Loan"). The Related Party Loan was linked to the Israeli Consumer Price Index ("CPI") and bore no stated rate of interest. The Company has recorded the estimated incremental interest expense of 3% that the Company would have incurred if the loan had been entered into with a third party. Increases in the principal amount of the loan due to fluctuations in the Israeli CPI were charged to interest expense. The amount charged to interest expense due to fluctuations in the Israeli CPI was $52,000 in 2000. The loan was repaid in full in September 2000.

8.  Long-Term Loans

        The Company had two loans denominated in U.S. dollars with a bank that bore annual interest of London Interbank Offered Rate plus 1.5%. Both loans, totaling $3,814,000, were repaid in full in 2001. In connection with the loans, the Company issued warrants to the bank (see Note 10(d)). The fair value of the warrants was recorded as a discount against these loans and was amortized as interest expense over the term of the loans.

9.  Commitments

        The Company operates primarily from leased facilities. Lease agreements expire through year 2005. Annual minimum future rental payments due under the lease agreements as of December 31, 2002 are as follows:

 
  Amount
 
  (In thousands)

For the Year Ended December 31,

        Rent expense was $635,000 in 2000, $896,000 in 2001, and $560,000 in 2002.

10.  Shareholders' Equity

(a)  Authorized Share Capital

        During 1998, the Company authorized 3,500,000 Series A preferred shares ("Series A"). During 1999, the Company authorized 5,000,000 Series B preferred shares ("Series B"). As of December 31, 2002, the Company has authorized 40,000,000 ordinary shares NIS 0.01 par value.

(b)  Initial Public Offering

        On August 15, 2000, the Company completed an initial public offering of 4,000,000 shares of its ordinary shares at $10.00 per share (the "IPO"). Proceeds to the Company, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and offering costs, were $35.3 million.

        In connection with the IPO, all outstanding preferred shares were converted into 5,265,575 ordinary shares and 602,757 ordinary shares were issued to certain security-holders upon the exercise of certain options and warrants. In addition, the Company issued 258,500 ordinary shares to certain of its

51


Series A preferred shareholders, which was accounted for as a stock dividend. The Company recorded a charge to additional paid-in capital for the par value of the ordinary shares issued and the amount of net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders used in the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share was increased by the fair value of the ordinary shares issued.

(c)  Share Purchase Agreements

        Through several finance closings in 1998, in accordance with Series A purchase agreements, the Company issued to the investors warrants to purchase up to 1,314,200 additional shares of Series A preferred shares at an exercise price of $2.97 per share. In 1999, the Company issued 1,022,800 shares of Series A in consideration for $3.0 million pursuant to the exercise of a portion of these warrants. The remaining unexercised warrants to purchase 291,400 shares of Series A have expired.

        The Company also granted the investors options to purchase 2,050,000 ordinary shares at an exercise price of NIS 0.01 per share ("Share Par Value"). In 1999, the Company issued 1,595,400 ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a portion of the options to purchase ordinary shares described above. The Company issued 454,600 ordinary shares pursuant to exercise of the remaining options upon the closing of the IPO in August 2000.

        In connection with one of the closings of the Series A rounds in 1998, certain investors were given the right to receive a number of ordinary shares equal to 3% of the Company's outstanding share capital at the time of the Series A financing, but not greater than 258,500 total ordinary shares upon the closing of the IPO. In connection with the IPO, the Company issued all 258,500 ordinary shares as a stock dividend. In August 2000, the Company recorded the stock dividend with a charge to additional paid-in capital valued at the Share Par Value of the ordinary shares.

(d)  Ordinary Share Warrants

        In March 1999, the Company granted to a bank a fully vested warrant to purchase 142,857 ordinary shares at $2.10 per share. This warrant was exercised in full in August 2000, concurrent with the closing of the IPO. The Company valued the warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: (1) life of two years, (2) no dividend yield, (3) volatility of 80%, (4) risk-free interest rate of 5% and (5) the warrant is exercised at $2.10 per share. The Company determined the value to be $137,000, which was amortized to interest expense over the two-year term of the note.

(e)  Treasury Stock

        In April 2001, the Company's board of directors approved a stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase its ordinary shares for an aggregate consideration that shall not exceed $2.5 million. Purchases may be made based on market conditions from time-to-time at the discretion of management in open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions. Through December 31, 2002, the Company has repurchased 134,000 of ordinary shares at an aggregate cost of $100,000. Although such shares are legally considered outstanding, the Company has no dividend or voting rights associated with its treasury stock.

(f)  Dividends

        The Company has never paid cash dividends to shareholders. The Company intends to retain future earnings for use in its business and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its ordinary shares in the foreseeable future. Any future dividend policy will be determined by the board of directors and will be based upon conditions then existing, including results of operations, financial

condition, current and anticipated cash needs, contractual restrictions and other conditions as the board of directors may deem relevant.

(g)  Employee Share Purchase Plan

        In November 2002, the Company established an employee share purchase plan (the "ESPP") which permits the eligible employees of the Company to purchase shares of the Company's ordinary shares at 85% of the closing market price on either the first day or the last day of the applicable three-month period, whichever is lower. Employees may participate in the ESPP through regular payroll deductions of up to 10% of their pre-tax gross salary. Subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events, a maximum of 1,500,000 ordinary shares may be issued under the ESPP. Through December 31, 2002, 8,209 ordinary shares have been issued under the ESPP at a weighted average purchase price of $0.21 per share.

(h)  Stock Option Plans

        The Company has approved for issuance an aggregate of 7,811,862 ordinary shares for the issuance of stock options under three stock option plans as follows:

        The 1996 Option Plan provides for the grant by the Company of option awards to officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and to non-employees. The options granted under the 1996 Option Plan vest ratably over vesting periods ranging from three to five years and expire 62 months from the date of issuance.

        The 1997 Option Plan provides for the grant by the Company of nonqualified option awards to employees of RAD-Bynet Group of companies, which are affiliated companies. Through December 31, 2000, all available authorized options under this plan had been granted. No options were granted under this plan in 2001 and 2002. The Company accounted for these options in accordance with SFAS No. 123 utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: (1) expected life of four years, (2) no dividend yield, (3) volatility of 80% and (4) a risk-free interest rate of 5%. The aggregate value of the options granted to nonemployees was $176,000. The Company has charged to operations $23,000 in 2000, $8,000 in 2001, and $11,000 in 2002.

        The 2000 Option Plan provides for the grant by the Company of option awards to officers and employees of its U.S. subsidiary. Options granted under the 2000 Option Plan vest ratably over four years and expire 10 years from the date of issuance.

        Under all option plans, any options that are cancelled or forfeited before expiration become available for future grants. As of December 31, 2002, 2,458,628 options are available for future grant.

        The amount of stock-based compensation arising from the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value on the date of the grant is included in shareholders' equity as deferred compensation and totaled $8.5 million in 2000, and none in 2001 and 2002. Under APB Opinion No. 25, deferred compensation is amortized over the vesting periods of the underlying options as stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense included in the reported net loss totaled $1.4 million in 2000, $878,000 in 2001 and $509,000 in 2002. Unamortized deferred compensation totaled $536,000 as of December 31, 2002.

11.    Taxes on Income

(a)  Measurement of taxable income under the Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments) Law, 1985:

        Results for tax purposes are measured and reflected in accordance with the change in the Israeli Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). As described in Note 2(b), the Company's consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. The difference between the change in the Israeli CPI and the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the NIS causes a difference between taxable income or loss and the income or loss before taxes reflected in the consolidated financial statements. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, the Company has not provided deferred income taxes on this difference between the reporting currency and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.

(b)  Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 ("the Law")

        In 1998, the Company's investment program totaling $66,000 was granted "Approved Enterprise" status under the Law. The Company elected to adopt the "Alternative Benefits Program Status." This status entitles the Company to a benefit period of seven years on income derived from this program as follows: (a) a full income tax exemption for the first two years and (b) a reduced income tax rate of 25%, instead of the regular rate of 36%, for the remaining five-year period. If foreign shareholdings in the Company exceed 25%, the period for which the Company is entitled to a reduced tax rate of 25% is extended to eight years. The period of the benefit is limited to 12 years from commencement of production or 14 years from the date of approval.

55



        As the Company has not yet reported any taxable income, the benefit period has not yet commenced.

        If the Company distributes a cash dividend out of retained earnings which were tax exempt due to its approved enterprise status, the Company would have to pay a 25% corporate tax on the amount distributed, and a further 15% withholding tax would be deducted from the amounts distributed to the recipients.

        Income derived from sources other than the approved enterprise programs is taxable at the regular corporate tax rate of 36%.

        The benefits from the Company's approved enterprise programs are dependent upon the Company fulfilling the conditions stipulated by the Law for Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 and the regulations published under this law, as well as the specific criteria in the Company's approved enterprise programs. If the Company does not comply with these conditions, the tax benefits may be canceled, and the Company may be required to refund the amount of the canceled benefits, with the addition of linkage differences and interest. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company believes it complies with these conditions.

        By virtue of the Law, the Company is entitled to claim accelerated depreciation on equipment used by the "Approved Enterprise."

(c)  Tax benefits under Israel's Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxation), 1969

        By virtue of this law, the Company is entitled to claim accelerated depreciation on equipment used by the "Approved Enterprise" during five tax years. The Company has received final approval in respect to the investment program.

        The Company currently qualifies as an "Industrial Company" under the Law for Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969 and is therefore entitled to tax benefits, mainly accelerated depreciation of machinery and equipment and deduction of expenses incurred in connection with a public offering.

(e)  Net Operating Losses

        As of December 31, 2002, the Company's net operating loss carryforwards for Israeli tax purposes amounted to approximately $14.0 million. These net operating losses may be carried forward indefinitely and offset against future taxable business income. The Company expects that during the period in which these tax losses are utilized its income would be substantially tax-exempt. There will be no tax benefit available from these losses and no deferred income taxes have been included in these financial statements. Deferred taxes in respect of other temporary differences are immaterial.

56



        Through December 31, 1995, the Company's losses for tax purposes were assigned to a shareholder, and are not available to the Company.

        The U.S. subsidiary's carryforward tax losses through December 31, 2002 amounted to approximately $26.2 million. These losses are available to offset future U.S. taxable income of the U.S. subsidiary and will expire between the years 2012 and 2022. Net operating loss carryforwards are subject to review and possible adjustments by the Internal Revenue Service and may be limited in the event of certain cumulative changes in excess of 50% in the ownership interests of significant shareholders over a three-year period.

        The components of the Company's U.S. deferred tax asset are approximately as follows:

 
  December 31,
 
  2001
  2002
 
  (In thousands)

Net operating loss carryforwards   $ 8,598   $ 10,485

Less—Valuation allowance     8,836     10,618
   
 
Net deferred tax asset   $   $
   
 

        The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty surrounding the timing of the realization of these tax benefits.

(f)  Final Tax Assessments

        The Company has received final tax assessments regarding tax years through the end of 1995.

Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment and Change of Control Arrangements

        At the start of their employment, our employees in the United States generally sign offer letters specifying basic terms and conditions of employment as well as agreements that include confidentiality, non-compete provisions and assignment of intellectual property rights related to their employment. At the start of their employment, our employees in Israel generally sign written employment agreements that include confidentiality and non-compete provisions.

        In addition, certain key employees of the Company, including Messrs. Kinreich and LeClair have a change of control agreement with the Company under which (i) fifty percent (50%) of unvested stock options and/or restricted shares then held by the employee shall immediately vest upon a change of control of the Company; (ii) they will receive a severance package consisting of six months' base salary, plus any accrued compensation, reimbursements and vacation time owed; and (iii) the remaining unvested stock options and/or restricted shares then held by the employee shall immediately vest, if the employee terminates his employment with the Company for a good reason, as defined therein, or his employment is terminated without cause, each within twelve (12) months of a change in control of the Company. Under the terms of the change of control agreements, a change of control will be deemed to have occurred upon the following events: a sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; persons constituting the Board of Directors of the Company on the date of the agreement or new directors approved by those persons cease to constitute a majority of the members of the Board of Directors; a merger of the Company with another entity following which the shareholders of the Company do not own 50% of the voting power of the securities of the entity acquiring the Company; a third party acquires 25% or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the Directors of the Company; or the Directors adopt a resolution stating that a change in control has occurred for the purposes of the agreement.

(1)
Percentages shown under "Percent of Total Options Granted to Employees in 2002" are based on an aggregate of 2,310,000 options granted to our employees under our option plans during 2002.

(2)
The exercise price equals the fair market value of the ordinary shares, which is equal to the closing sales prices of the ordinary shares as quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market as of the grant date.

(3)
The potential realizable value is calculated based on the term of the option at the time of grant. Share price appreciation of 5.0% and 10.0% is assumed pursuant to the rules promulgated by the SEC and does not represent our estimate of future stock price performance. The potential realizable values at 5.0% and 10.0% appreciation are calculated by: (a) multiplying the number of ordinary shares under the option by the exercise price per share; (b) assuming that the aggregate share value derived from that calculation compounds at the annual 5.0% or 10.0% rate shown in the table until the expiration of the options; and (c) subtracting from that result the aggregate option exercise price.

(4)
These options vest annually over six years at increasing annual rates ranging from 13% in the first year to 27% in the sixth year. 225,000 of the options are subject to accelerated vesting if our ordinary shares trade between $0.70 and $5.00 per share for 20 consecutive days.

(5)
57,750 of the options vest on July 22, 2002 with 9,771 options vesting per quarter thereafter.

        The following table sets forth information with respect to (i) stock options exercised in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 by the Named Executive Officers and (ii) unexercised stock options held by such individuals.

Report of Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation

        This report is submitted by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee consists of Messrs. Assia, Beilis and Geary. Messrs. Assia, Beilis and Geary are non-employee Directors. Pursuant to authority delegated by the Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing and administering the Company's stock option plans and reviewing and approving salaries and other incentive compensation of the Company's officers and employees, including recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to the grant of stock options to officers and employees.

        Compensation Philosophy.    The Company's executive compensation program is designed to attract, retain and reward executives in a competitive industry. To achieve this goal, the Compensation Committee applies the philosophy that compensation of executive officers should be linked to meeting specified performance goals.

        Under the direction of the Compensation Committee, the Company has developed and implemented compensation policies. The Compensation Committee's executive compensation policies are designed to (i) enhance operating results of the Company and shareholder value, (ii) integrate compensation with the Company's annual and long-term performance goals, (iii) reward corporate performance, (iv) recognize individual initiative, achievement and hard work, and (v) assist the Company in attracting and retaining qualified executive officers. Currently, compensation under the executive compensation program is comprised of cash compensation in the form of annual base salary and bonus and long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock options.

        Base Salary.    The Compensation Committee reviews salaries periodically. The Compensation Committee's policy is to consider amounts paid to senior executives with comparable qualifications, experience and responsibilities at other publicly-held companies of similar size and engaged in a similar type of business to that of the Company, all of whom are constituent companies of the Nasdaq Computer Index. The Compensation Committee does not take into account the Company's relative performance as compared to comparable companies. The Compensation Committee also considers compensation information pertaining to the Company's industry including salary surveys, industry reports and other available information. The Compensation Committee analyzes this information to recommend salaries. The Compensation Committee does not use a fixed or rigid formula to recommend salaries.

        The salary compensation for the executive officers is based upon their qualifications, experience and responsibilities, as well as the attainment of planned objectives. Mr. Kinreich's planned objectives included: (1) implementing the 2002 operating plan, (2) building strategic relationships, and (3) executing product release plans. The Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding the planned objectives and executive compensation levels. The overall plans and operating performance levels upon which management compensation is based are reviewed by the Compensation Committee on a periodic basis.

        Bonus Compensation.    Our executive officers are eligible for quarterly cash bonuses, which are based primarily on corporate achievements and individual performance objectives that are established at the beginning and in the course of each year. After the completion of each quarter, the Compensation Committee reviews the attainment of corporate and individual objectives and recommends bonuses based on the extent to which corporate objectives were met or exceeded and individual contributions to the Company's overall performance. For the most recent fiscal year, the company did not pay any bonus compensation to its executive officers.

        Stock Options.    The Company relies on incentive compensation in the form of stock options to retain and motivate executive officers and employees, which generally is provided through initial option grants at the date of hire and periodic additional grants. Incentive compensation in the form of stock

64



options is designed to provide long-term incentives to executive officers and other employees, to encourage the executive officers and other employees to remain with the Company and to enable them to develop and maintain a stock ownership position in the Company's ordinary shares.

        Awards take into account each officer's scope of responsibility and specific assignments, strategic and operational goals applicable to the officer, anticipated performance and contributions of the officer and competitive market data for similar positions. Options are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our ordinary shares on the date of grant. The standard vesting schedule provides that a portion of the shares subject to each option vest and become exercisable annually and quarterly over three- to four-year periods.

        Option grants to executive officers are based on such factors as initiative, achievement and performance. In administering grants to executive officers, the Compensation Committee evaluates each officer's total equity compensation package. The Compensation Committee generally reviews the option holdings of each of the executive officers, including their vesting and exercise prices and the then current value of any unvested options. The Compensation Committee considers equity compensation to be an integral part of a competitive executive compensation package and an important mechanism to align the interests of management with those of the Company's shareholders.

        Mr. Kinreich's stock-based compensation principally was tied to the Company's objectives of implementing the Company's operating plan, acquiring new customers and building strategic relationships and executing the Company's product release plans and was intended as a retention and incentive device for Mr. Kinreich.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

        Messrs. Assia, Beilis and Geary constitute the Company's Compensation Committee. Messrs. Assia, Beilis and Geary are non-employee Directors. None of our executive officers serve as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has any executive officer serving as a member of our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

Director Compensation

        We reimburse our Directors for expenses incurred to attend meetings of our Board of Directors and any committees of the Board of Directors. We also grant an annual cash payment to our Directors, other than Mr. Kinreich, and grant options to purchase ordinary shares to our Directors from time to time and to comply with Israeli regulations.

Item 12.    SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS


SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

        The following table sets forth certain information known to us regarding the beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares as of February 28, 2003, unless otherwise indicated, by: (i) each person known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our ordinary shares; (ii) each Director of the Company; (iii) each executive officer named in the Summary Compensation Table above; and (iii) all of our Directors and executive officers as a group. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, ordinary shares under options and warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of February 28, 2003 are considered outstanding. These shares, however, are not considered outstanding when computing the percentage ownership of each other person. Except as indicated in the footnotes to this table and pursuant to state community property laws, each shareholder named in the table has sole voting and investment power for the shares shown as beneficially owned by them. Ownership percentages are based on 16,471,177 ordinary shares outstanding on February 28, 2003. Unless otherwise noted below, each shareholder's address is c/o RadView Software Ltd., 7 New England Executive Park, Burlington, Massachusetts 01803.

Also includes 1,500,000 ordinary shares available to purchase by employees under the Company's Employee Share Purchase Plan. After the date of shareholder approval of the reservation of options under the Key Employee Share Incentive Plan, the board of directors amended certain provisions of the plan to comply with changes in the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance. These changes were submitted to the Israeli tax authorities for their approval.

(2)
Relates to options issued or issuable under the Company's Key Employee Share Incentive Plan (1996) (other than 1,200,000 options issuable under such plan that have received the approval of the Company's security holders) and options issued under the Company's Affiliate Employees Option Plan.

69


Material Features of the Key Employee Share Incentive Plan (1996)

        The Key Employee Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, which has the authority to submit recommendations to the Board of Directors as to the issuance of options under the plan. All employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates are eligible to participate in the Key Employee Plan.

        Options granted under the Key Employee Plan after January 1, 2003 are intended to comply with the "capital gains" track of Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance.

        Stock options granted under the Key Employee Plan may not be granted at a price less than the par value of the ordinary shares on the date of grant. If any option award, or any part thereof, under the Key Employee Plan has not been exercised and the shares covered thereby not paid for within sixty-two (62) months after the date of grant (or any other period set forth in the instrument granting such option award), such option award, or such part thereof, and the right to acquire such shares, terminates. An option granted under the Key Employee Plan is exercisable, during the optionholder's lifetime, only by the optionholder and is not transferable by him or her except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

        After the termination of the optionholder's employment with the Company, or cessation of status as a director or consultant of the Company (other than by reason of death, disability or termination for cause as defined in the Key Employee Plan), all rights in respect of options held at the date of termination terminate within two weeks after the termination or cessation of status. Generally, in the event of the optionholder's termination for cause, all outstanding and unexercised options are forfeited.

        The Key Employee Plan may be amended by the Board of Directors of the Company. Each grantee is responsible for all personal tax consequences of the grant and the exercise thereof.

Material Features of the Affiliate Plan

        The Company's Board of Directors approved the Affiliate Employees Option Plan (the "Affiliate Plan") in 1997. The Company has reserved for issuance 75,240 ordinary shares under the Affiliate Plan. The Company has resolved that from the date of its initial public offering and thereafter it will not issue any additional options under the Affiliate Plan.

        The purpose of the Affiliate Plan was to provide incentives to employees, directors and consultants of affiliates of the Company belonging to the RAD-Bynet group of companies, by providing them with opportunities to purchase shares in the Company, in order to provide them with incentives to assist in the promotion of the Company's business. The Affiliate Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee.

        If any option award under the Affiliate Plan has not been exercised and the shares covered thereby not paid for within 62 months after the date of grant, unless otherwise agreed to by the Compensation Committee, such option award terminates. An option granted under the Affiliate Plan is exercisable, during the optionholder's lifetime, only by the optionholder and is not transferable by him or her except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

        After the termination of the optionholder's employment with any affiliate of the Company, or cessation of status as a director or consultant of any affiliate of the Company (other than by reason of death or disability), all rights in respect of options held at the date of termination terminate within two weeks after the termination or cessation of status. Generally, in the event of the optionholder's termination for cause, all outstanding and unexercised options are forfeited.

        The Affiliate Plan may be amended by the Company's Board of Directors. Each grantee is responsible for all personal tax consequences of the grant and the exercise thereof.
