PART I
Overview
SeeBeyond Technology Corporation (the "Company" or "SeeBeyond") is a leading provider of business integration software that enables the real-time flow of information within the enterprise and among customers, suppliers and partners. We believe that we offer the only comprehensive business integration solution architected from a single, internally-developed software code base, encompassing application-to-application integration, business-to-business integration, and business process management. Our Business Integration Suite builds upon more than thirteen years of continuous development of business integration solutions within and among enterprises. As of December 31, 2002, we had licensed our products to over 1,750 customers worldwide.
Industry Background
Today's difficult business and economic environment presents companies with a wide range of challenges. Competitive pressures, macroeconomic volatility, corporate mergers and acquisitions, the ubiquity of the Internet, shortened development and production cycles, shifting supplier relationships and diverse customer demands are forcing companies to adapt in numerous ways. In response, most companies have implemented aggressive e-Business initiatives in recent years, whereby business transactions and relationships are conducted electronically among enterprises. These e-Business initiatives have been adopted in an attempt to operate more efficiently and communicate better with suppliers, customers and partners. To this end, companies have made significant investments in a range of custom and packaged software applications such as enterprise resource planning, or ERP, supply chain management, or SCM, customer relationship management, or CRM, decision support and e-Commerce technologies. However, these applications generally were not designed to interact with each other, and the proliferation of these diverse technologies has resulted in highly disconnected and disparate information technology infrastructures. These diverse systems and applications often reside on different hardware platforms with varying and incompatible data formats and communication methods. As a result, information remains trapped within isolated systems. To enable truly automated business processes, these isolated systems must be seamlessly integrated. As companies seek enhanced profitability, integration solutions that enable dynamic and real-time connections across systems, applications and enterprises, and allow for the automation and active management of business processes, known as business process management, have become critical.
Companies have historically tried to bridge disparate systems and applications through in-house or third-party custom development of point-to-point interfaces. This approach is no longer viable for many companies given the large and growing number of applications and the cost, time and resources required to create and maintain integration in a rapidly changing environment. In addition, when large numbers of applications and systems are linked through point-to-point interfaces, companies can have difficulty responding quickly to business changes. Integrating with systems external to an enterprise such as those of its suppliers, customers and partners, is an additional challenge that requires expertise in Internet technologies and a solution that is reliable, secure, centrally managed and scalable to a very large number of disparate users.
The integration demands of e-Business present major technical challenges. In an attempt to address these challenges, companies have implemented various ERP, e-Business application integration, or eAI, and electronic data interchange, or EDI, technologies. However, these solutions each have their own limitations in terms of time-to-market, cost, performance or flexibility, and no one approach fully addresses the entire e-Business integration challenge.

The SeeBeyond Solution
We have developed a comprehensive solution for business integration, enabling the seamless flow of information across systems, applications and enterprises in real-time on a global basis. Our Business Integration Suite provides companies with a flexible and easily configurable software platform to connect applications and systems within an organization and among geographically dispersed enterprises, allowing for continuous and reliable information exchange to meet today's fast-paced business demands. In contrast to other eAI approaches, we believe that we are the only provider of a comprehensive solution for business integration where all key integration technologies, including application-to-application, business-to-business and business process management, are seamlessly integrated. Because we have architected all of our products from a single, internally-developed code base, our solutions are fully integrated to deliver faster time-to-market, improved performance and higher reliability for our customers. The fourth generation of our core product, e*Gate Integrator, is a comprehensive and centrally managed solution that addresses the need for a distributed, scalable and global business integration infrastructure.
Our application-to-application integration capability provides extensive pre-built application interfaces and facilitates rapid connectivity to packaged applications, legacy applications, web and object technologies and industry standard relational databases. Our business-to-business integration capability supports various trading partner business models, including direct partner-to-partner integration, trading exchange or marketplace integration, as well as more traditional EDI integration. Our business process management capability enables our customers to model, monitor and manage business process flows of business activities in real-time.
Our solution provides the following business benefits to our customers:
Enhanced Financial Performance and Customer Service. Our flexible integration suite enables our customers to focus on pursuing business initiatives designed to enhance revenue, profit and customer service. The open architecture and robust functionality of our solution allows our customers to efficiently implement and adapt their business strategies in response to market dynamics and other factors. Customers can quickly react and easily adapt to operational and system changes as a result of dynamic supplier and customer relationships, macroeconomic volatility and mergers and acquisitions.
Scalable and Reliable Business Integration. Our modular solution is designed to be expandable within a customer's organization and throughout its geographically dispersed and technologically diverse network of customers, suppliers and partners. Our Business Integration Suite can grow to manage the transaction levels required for global business with minimal technical or administrative complexity. As opposed to solutions based on hub-and-spoke architectures, our solution is based on a fully-distributed architecture that delivers scalability without any single point of failure. Our distributed architecture avoids the bottlenecks associated with alternative integration approaches by distributing processing throughout a network and providing a central registry that manages this distributed configuration across the entire network.
Rapid Time to Market. Our solution is designed for easy and rapid deployment, enabling our customers to reduce time to market for their products and services. Our Business Integration Suite is designed to allow the efficient incorporation of, and integration with, evolving technologies and standards, minimizing programming effort and enabling real-time integration of applications and systems. Our comprehensive solution was developed as a unified suite, eliminating the need for disparate integration technologies from multiple vendors.
Reduced Operating Costs. Our solution is designed to enable customers to automate and streamline business processes for increased operating efficiency, resulting in improved cycle times, optimized service level agreements and lower operating costs. In addition, our suite enables companies to leverage existing IT investments and minimizes the need for expensive custom programming. As a
5
result, in response to changing business dynamics, our solution allows for efficient business process modifications, substantially reducing the implementation and maintenance costs associated with traditional integration approaches.
The SeeBeyond Strategy
Our objective is to provide the leading business integration solution to manage the real-time, seamless flow of information across the enterprise and among customers, suppliers and partners. Our strategy for achieving this objective includes the following elements:
Capitalize on our Integrated Solutions and Technology Leadership. Our focus is and will continue to be on providing our customers the most open, comprehensive and unified integration infrastructure available for companies seeking to significantly improve business operations and increase their return on investment through seamless application integration, dynamic business-to-business connectivity and robust business process management. Our product architecture is open, and we currently support numerous technology standards, including J2EE, .Net and web services protocols. We will continue to invest in our software to enhance its functionality and provide a complete solution for business integration.
Enhance Presence in Targeted Vertical Markets. Our Business Integration Suite is designed to be easily adaptable to multiple vertical markets, and customers have adopted our products across a broad range of industry segments, including financial services/insurance, manufacturing, healthcare, telecommunications/energy/utilities, government and retail. We intend to continue expanding penetration of vertical markets that we believe represent significant revenue opportunities. We have dedicated sales and marketing resources targeted at specific vertical markets, and we plan to extend this approach to additional industry segments. We also intend to provide additional industry-specific product functionality and partner with systems integrators and software vendors that have expertise in particular vertical markets.
Leverage Distribution, Consulting and Implementation Through Strategic Alliances. We have entered into significant strategic alliances with several leading systems integrators. We intend to expand and seek additional strategic alliances with leading systems integrators, software and hardware vendors to increase our market penetration. We believe that our Business Integration Suite enables our strategic partners to offer readily deployable, repeatable business integration solutions. These alliances provide for benefits, such as qualified customer introductions, the development and marketing of repeatable vertical industry market offerings and the generation of license revenue for us. We have also signed reseller agreements with software vendors, such as Siebel Systems and Retek, and we intend to continue to pursue opportunities to provide our integration capabilities to additional partners.
Continue Expansion into International Markets. We believe that international markets represent a significant growth opportunity. In the year ended December 31, 2002, revenues from outside the United States accounted for $52.4 million, or 35% of our total revenues. We plan to continue broadening the scope of our global operations by investing in additional markets and continuing to expand our presence in the international markets we currently serve, particularly in Europe and the Asia Pacific region.
Become the Preferred Integration Standard for Large Global Entities. To date, more than 50 enterprises, such as Allstate, BMW, Conoco, Ericsson, General Motors, Pfizer, Philip Morris and Target Corporation, have announced that our Business Integration Suite will be the standard upon which to integrate their systems and applications. We intend to become the standard upon which large customers integrate their internal enterprise information systems and connect externally with their customers, partners and suppliers. We believe that by becoming the integration standard for our customers, we can create stronger customer relationships and generate additional follow-on sales opportunities.

Products
The SeeBeyond Business Integration Suite provides the following key capabilities:
Enterprise IntegrationIntegration capabilities are at the core of all of our Business Integration Suite offerings at each of the data, application, system or business process integration levels. Our Business Integration Suite provides a robust, scalable and reliable integration platform. Business applications or systems are connected to a network via pre-built adapters called e*Way Intelligent Adapters, enabling them to work together. As opposed to solutions based upon hub-and-spoke architectures, the SeeBeyond Business Integration Suite is based on a fully distributed architecture that enables scalability through its ability to dynamically deploy components as needed anywhere on the network, thus making maximum use of enterprise computing capacity. While the e*Gate integration software features a robust distributed architecture without any single point of failure, the configuration of the entire infrastructure is centrally managed for ease of on-going administration and low total cost of ownership. Reliability results from the architecture's flexible deployment options for load balancing, its ability to change business processes dynamically without stopping the system, its ability to recover from hardware failures without data loss or duplication and its support of transactional integrity. Additionally, cross-indexing capabilities allow customers and trading partners to be identified uniquely and automatically from various data-stores within and among enterprises.
Business Process ManagementUsing the graphical business modeling tools provided by our e*Insight Business Process Manager, business users can quickly define processes that automate business activities across the many systems, partners and employees involved and then easily optimize those processes over time in response to changing dynamics. The technical details of each business process are readily visible in a hierarchy of graphical views that span all levels of integration from the operational business view down to the most detailed data manipulation and networking aspects. Graphical monitoring of business processes allows business users to observe the status of individual events and processes, to detect and correct process exceptions in real-time, and to audit and analyze process history for further optimization. Real-time alerts and process exceptions can trigger wireless alerts, e-mails, faxes or messages to system management tools based on any business event or system event.
Business Partner Interoperabilitye*Xchange Partner Manager and e*Gate Integrator software support a wide range of secure inter- and intra-business processes. e*Xchange software provides trading partner management to simplify the setup and configuration of business partner and customer profiles. e*Xchange software manages information flows and events external to the enterprise, including XML-based exchanges over the Internet, either directly or through trading exchanges, traditional EDI over value added networks or new Internet-based EDI protocols, as well as other methods of communication, such as e-mail, faxes and other forms of electronic messages. Inter-business processes supported by the SeeBeyond Business Integration Suite may also include transactions via electronic funds transfer networks such as S.W.I.F.T., direct bank deposits, and credit, securities and other financial transactions.
The SeeBeyond Business Integration Suite is comprised of the following specialized product offerings that meet specific integration needs:
7
Our core software product was commercially introduced in 1991, and in June 2001, we released the 4.5 version of e*Gate software. We are continually enhancing our Business Integration Suite and, in particular, we are focusing on extending our distributed integration strategy by focusing on continued
8
and enhanced support for core infrastructure standards, such as J2EE and .Net and support for Web services standards. We intend to continue to develop new e*Way adapters for emerging packaged applications, web technologies and data formats to provide enhanced application and system connectivity.
Professional Services
Our customers typically purchase consulting services from us to support their implementation activities. We offer professional services with the initial deployment of our product, as well as on an ongoing basis to address the continuing needs of our customers. Our consulting services range from architectural planning to complete development and deployment of our products. In each case, our services are tailored to meet our customers' needs. Our professional services organization also provides comprehensive education at our new, state-of-the-art training facility, as well as on-site courses for both customers and partners. Many of our professional services employees have advanced degrees and/or substantial industry experience in systems architecture and design. We expect that the number of service professionals and the scope of the services that we offer will increase as we continue to address the expanding enterprise infrastructure needs of large organizations.

In 2002, 2001 and 2000, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenues. Revenues from the sale of our products and services outside the United States accounted for $52.4 million, or 35% of our total revenues in 2002, $64.1 million, or 34% of our total revenues in 2001 and $30.0 million, or 25% of our total revenues in 2000. Revenues from the sale of our products and services in the United Kingdom as a percentage of total revenues were 12.9% in 2002, 16.6% in 2001 and 11.7% in 2000, while revenues from the sale of our products and services in Germany as a percent of total revenues were 3.8% in 2002, 3.7% in 2001 and 3.3% in 2000. We believe that revenues from sales outside the United States will continue to account for a material portion of our total revenues for the foreseeable future. Long-lived assets located outside of the United States, principally in Europe, were $3.1 million at December 31, 2002, $2.6 million at December 31, 2001 and $2.8 million at December 31, 2000.
Strategic Alliances with Leading Systems Integrators and Independent Software Vendors
To promote additional market penetration of our products, we have established strategic alliances with several of the largest independent systems integrators, including Accenture, Cap Gemini Ernst & Young, Computer Sciences Corporation, Braxton (fka Deloitte Consulting), Electronic Data Systems Corporation, First Consulting Group, and PricewaterhouseCoopers. In addition to these strategic alliances, we also have relationships with other systems integrators, including Booz-Allen & Hamilton and BearingPoint (fka KPMG Consulting). SeeBeyond also maintains close relationships with several leading independent software vendors and technology providers, including Broadvision, Hewlett Packard, Retek and Siebel Systems. Our alliances with system integrators and technology vendors alike
10
position us as a preferred business integration software provider. We believe these alliances have enabled us to increase market awareness of our products and increase sales.
Sales and Marketing
We license our products and sell our services primarily through our direct sales organization, complemented by the selling and support efforts of our systems integrators and through our relationships with independent software vendors. As of December 31, 2002, our sales and marketing organization consisted of 207 professionals. In the United States, we have sales offices in the greater metropolitan areas of San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, Boston, St. Louis and Washington DC. In Europe we have sales offices in Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. In the Asia Pacific region, we have sales offices in Australia, Japan, New Zealand and Singapore. Our direct sales force works closely with our professional services organization, which provides pre-sales support to potential customers on product information and deployment capabilities.
Our sales process requires that we work closely with targeted customers to identify both the business as well as the technical value derived from a real-time information network. Our sales team, which includes both sales and technical professionals, then works with the customer to develop a proposal to address the customer's specific needs and highlight the potential business and financial benefits. The length of our sales cycle generally ranges from 90 to 180 days, depending on the customer's industry and the size of the project.
Through our global software partner program, we license our technology to leading independent software vendors, so that they can embed components of our Business Integration Suite into their product on a limited basis for seamless integration with specific applications. These relationships allow these companies to resell our products to their customers worldwide and provide our sales force opportunities to cross-sell additional SeeBeyond products and services to these same customers. We have OEM and reseller agreements with a number of software vendors, including Siebel Systems and Retek.
We focus our marketing efforts on creating awareness of our products and their applications, and identifying and educating our partners as well as potential customers on both the business value as well as the technical value to be gained from a real-time information network, thereby generating new sales opportunities. We will continue to invest to increase awareness of our Business Integration Suite as a comprehensive solution for business integration. Our marketing activities include advertising, direct mail, seminars, tradeshows and industry conferences. We also have a public relations program focused on the trade, financial and business press as well as industry analysts.
Our marketing organization works closely with our systems integrator partners and independent software vendors to jointly develop targeted marketing programs to leverage the solutions offered by our partners. We plan to establish additional programs to educate systems integrators and independent software vendors on the benefits of a real-time information network and specifically the SeeBeyond Business Integration Suite.
Product Development
We are continually enhancing our Business Integration Suite. In particular, we are focused on enhancing the functionality of our Business Integration Suite with additional support for infrastructure standards such as J2EE and .Net including support for J2EE Connector Architecture, or JCA, as the standard matures. We are extending our distributed integration strategy through web services by enhancing current Services Object Access Protocol, or SOAP, support for remote service invocation, Web Services Definition Language, or WSDL, for specifying web services interfaces to be used when invoking a remote service, and Universal Description Discovery and Integration, or UDDI, for
11
discovering remote services. We are extending business-to-business functionality by providing a business-to-business protocol tool-kit as part of e*Xchange software to allow organizations to rapidly leverage their robust web-based partner management and tracking capabilities for all open and proprietary business-to-business protocols. In addition, we are further developing pre-packaged process templates for key vertical markets, and enhancing business process reporting and analysis capabilities that will leverage data stored in the business process warehouse within our Business Integration Suite to facilitate process optimization activities. We intend to continue to focus on the ease-of-use of our products and will develop new e*Way adapters for packaged applications, web technologies and data formats to provide enhanced application and system connectivity. As of December 31, 2002, our product development organization included 263 employees.
Customer Service and Support
We provide `Follow the Sun' support for all of our products on a global basis 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our support centers are located in California and the United Kingdom. Each of these support centers tracks support incidents on one global IT system, providing a consistent level of service worldwide. Customers have the option to log, track and update their service and support inquiries electronically, via the web, telephone, or a combination of both. Our customer service group handles incoming calls, shipping requests, call logging, maintaining customer information and responding to basic product questions. Our technical support/engineering group is responsible for all technical incidents until resolution and is responsible for meeting targeted response times and providing regular updates. Our Technical Assistance Group (TAG) provides emergency on site support within the United States. Our technical support/engineering group interfaces with our product development group for product maintenance. As of December 31, 2002 our customer support organization included 49 employees.
Competition
The market for our products is intensely competitive, evolving and subject to rapid technological change. The intensity of competition is expected to increase in the future. Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any one of which could significantly reduce our future revenues and increase operating losses. Our current competitors include:
eAI vendors. We face competition from other vendors offering eAI software products. These vendors include IBM, Mercator Software, Tibco Software Inc., Vitria Technology Inc. and webMethods Inc. A number of other companies are offering products that address different aspects of our solution, including BEA Systems and Microsoft. In the future, some of these companies may expand their products to enhance their functionality to provide a solution more similar to ours.
Internal IT departments. "In house" information technology departments of potential customers have developed or may develop systems that provide for some of the functionality of our Business Integration Suite. In particular, it can be difficult to sell our product to a potential customer whose internal development group has already made large investments in and progress towards completion of systems that our product is intended to replace.
Other software vendors. We also face competition from major enterprise software developers including Oracle, PeopleSoft, SAP and Siebel. These companies have significantly greater resources than we have.
Many of our existing and potential competitors have more resources, broader customer relationships and more established brands than we do. In addition, many of these competitors have extensive knowledge of our industry. Some of our competitors have established or may establish
12
cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to offer a single solution and increase the ability of their products to address customer needs.
We believe that the principal competitive factors affecting the market for our products and services include product functionality and features, product price and performance, ease of implementation, market awareness, quality of professional services offerings, acceptance of product or vendor by leading system integrators, quality of customer support services, quality of training and documentation and vendor and product reputation. Although we believe that our solutions generally compete favorably with respect to these factors, our market is evolving rapidly. We may not be able to maintain our competitive position against current and potential competitors, especially those with significantly greater resources.
Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights
Our success is dependent upon the technological and creative skills of our personnel in developing and enhancing our software products, as well as our ability to protect the related proprietary technology and intellectual proprietary rights. We rely primarily on a combination of contractual provisions, confidentiality procedures, trade secrets, copyright and trademark laws to accomplish these goals. We do not currently hold any issued or registered patents. We have filed four patent applications that are pending in the United States and have filed a provisional application for a fifth patent. We cannot be certain that a patent will be issued from any patent application we submit. Moreover, we may not be able to develop proprietary products or technologies that are patentable, that any patent issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages, or that the patents of others will not seriously harm our ability to do business.
We license our products pursuant to license agreements that prohibit reverse engineering or decompilation of our software, impose restrictions on the licensee's ability to utilize the software and provide for specific remedies in the event of a breach of these restrictions. In addition, we take measures to avoid disclosure of our trade secrets, including but not limited to requiring employees, customers and others with access to our proprietary information to execute confidentiality agreements with us which define the unauthorized uses and disclosures of our trade secrets and other proprietary materials and information. Additionally, we restrict access to our source code.
We assert copyrights in software, documentation and other works of authorship and periodically file for and are granted copyrights from the U.S. Copyright Office in and to qualifying works of authorship. We assert trademark rights in and to our name, product names, logos and other markings that are designed to permit consumers to identify our goods and services. We routinely file for and have been granted trademark protection from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for qualifying marks.
Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, existing laws, contractual provisions and remedies afford only limited protection. In addition, effective copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in some foreign countries. Attempts may be made to copy or reverse engineer aspects of our product or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Accordingly, we cannot be certain that we will be able to protect our proprietary rights against unauthorized third-party copying or use. Use by others of our proprietary rights could materially harm our business. Furthermore, policing the unauthorized use of our product is difficult and expensive litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce and defend our intellectual property rights.
Although we do not believe our products infringe the proprietary rights of third parties and are not aware of any currently pending claims that our products infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties, it is possible that third parties will claim that we have infringed their current or future products. Any claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, prevent product shipment, cause delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, any of which
13
could harm our business. Patent litigation in particular has complex technical issues and inherent uncertainties. Parties making claims against us could secure substantial damages, as well as injunctive or other equitable relief which could effectively block our ability to license our products in the United States or abroad. Such a judgment could seriously harm our business. In the event a product infringement claim against us were successful and we could not obtain a license on acceptable terms or license a substitute technology or redesign to avoid infringement, our business would be harmed.
Employees
As of December 31, 2002, we had a total of 785 employees, including 263 in product development, 207 in sales and marketing, 49 in customer support, 176 in professional services and training, and 90 in operations, administration and finance.

Item 7: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes of SeeBeyond Technology Corporation appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding anticipated costs and expenses, anticipated gross margins, mix of revenues and plans for introducing new products and services. Our actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those discussed below, under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Overview
We were founded in 1989 and sold our first products and services in 1991 under the name "Software Technologies Corporation." From 1991 to 1998 our sales and marketing efforts were primarily focused on customers in the healthcare industry. In 1998, we began to significantly increase our sales and marketing expenses to target customers in other vertical markets, such as financial services/insurance, manufacturing, retail/e-Commerce/services, telecommunications, energy services and government. In November 1999 we launched the fourth generation of our product e*Gate 4.0, which introduced a fully distributed, fault tolerant architecture. We are currently shipping an enhanced version of our eBusiness Integration Suite ("eBI Suite"), version 4.5.3 to our customers and in March 2003 we announced our new suite of products, Integrated Composite Application Network ("ICAN") version 5.0, which we expect to begin shipping in the second quarter 2003, however, the determination of when and if version 5.0 will be made available remains at the sole discretion of the Company. We incurred significant losses in 2002 and 2001, and as of December 31, 2002, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $126.4 million. In October 2000, we changed our name to SeeBeyond Technology Corporation.
We derive revenues primarily from three sources: licenses, services and maintenance. We market our products and services on a global basis through our direct sales force, and augment our marketing efforts through relationships with systems integrators and technology vendors. Our products are typically licensed directly to customers for a perpetual term, with pricing based on the number of systems or applications the customer is integrating or connecting with our products. We record license revenues when a license agreement has been signed by both parties, the fee is fixed or determinable, collection of the fee is probable, delivery of our products has occurred and no other significant obligations remain. Payments for licenses, services and maintenance received in advance of revenue recognition are recorded as deferred revenue.
We currently have operations in 16 countries outside of the United States. Revenues as a percentage of total revenue, derived from international sales represent 35% in 2002, 34% in 2001 and 25% in 2000. We believe international revenues will continue to be significant in future periods.
Revenues from services include consulting and implementation services and training. A majority of our customers use third-party systems integrators to implement our products. Customers also typically
19
purchase additional consulting services from us to support their implementation activities. These consulting services are generally sold on a time and materials or fixed fee basis, and services revenues are recognized as the services are performed. We also offer training services, which are sold on a per student basis and for which revenues are recognized as the classes are attended.
Customers who license our products normally purchase maintenance contracts. These contracts provide unspecified software upgrades and technical support over a fixed term, which is typically 12 months. Maintenance contracts are usually paid in advance, and revenues from these contracts are recognized ratably over the term of the contract.
Our cost of revenues includes cost of license revenues, cost of services revenues and cost of maintenance revenues. Each category, except cost of license revenues, includes related expenses for salaries, employee benefits, incentive compensation, bonuses, travel, telephone, communications, rent and allocated facilities and professional fees.
Cost of license revenues includes the cost of third-party licensed software embedded or bundled with our products. Cost of services revenues consists of compensation and related overhead costs for personnel engaged in implementation consulting and services, training and out-of-pocket expenses. Cost of maintenance revenues includes compensation and related overhead costs for personnel engaged in maintenance and support activities. For the year ended December 31, 2002, our gross margin was 96.6% on our license revenues, 13.9% on our services revenues and 80.2% on our maintenance revenues. We expect in the future to continue to earn substantially higher gross margins on our license and maintenance revenues as compared to our services revenues. As a result, our overall gross margin depends significantly on our revenue mix.
Our sales and marketing expenses include additional expenditures specific to the marketing group, such as public relations and advertising, trade shows, and marketing collateral materials and expenditures specific to the sales group, such as commissions.
To date, all software product development costs have been expensed as incurred. Also included in our total costs and expenses are restructuring charges, amortizations of goodwill, sales and marketing warrants and stock compensation.
In order to increase both our company's and our products' market presence, we entered into strategic alliances with Computer Sciences Corporation ("CSC") in March 2000, Electronic Data Systems Corporation ("EDS") in January 2000 and Accenture in November 1999. We granted a warrant to each of these parties to purchase up to 1,200,000 shares of our common stock, which became exercisable upon the achievement of various milestones, which included the creation of e*Gate software market offerings in the case of Accenture and CSC and the generation of SeeBeyond license revenues by selling licenses of our software products to third parties in the case of EDS and CSC. These warrants had a per share exercise price of $5.33 for Accenture, $6.67 for EDS and $14.00 for CSC. The fair value of these warrants was measured at the date of grant in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18. Using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, we valued the warrants granted to Accenture in 1999 at $3.3 million and the warrants granted to EDS and CSC at $10.1 million. These amounts are included in additional paid-in capital and were being amortized by charges to operations over the vesting periods of the warrants. In December 2001, we extended the duration of the EDS warrant agreement. As a result, we remeasured the value of the warrant and related expense, which is reflected in the results of operations for 2001. In January 2002, the Accenture warrant was exercised and was converted to 666,537 shares of common stock of the Company. In March 2002, the CSC warrant agreement was cancelled and all rights under the warrant agreement, including all fully vested shares were forfeited. In July 2002, the EDS warrant expired without being exercised. We recognized amortization of $0, $5.2 million and $6.8 million for 2002, 2001 and 2000 for these alliance warrants, respectively. The amortization of the alliance warrants is classified as a separate component of operating expenses in our consolidated statement of operations.
20
In March 2001, we entered into a four-year co-marketing agreement with General Motors Corporation (GMC) and issued GMC a warrant to purchase 625,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $11.34 per share. As a result of the December 2001 private placement of 2,574,298 shares of our common stock, the exercise price of this warrant was adjusted to $5.83 per share. The warrant expires in March 2006 and 175,000 shares under the warrant were exercisable immediately. The remaining 450,000 shares subject to the warrant are performance based and vest and become exercisable over the thirty-six month period following the issuance of the warrant provided the warrant holder has achieved various milestones related to providing certain sales an marketing support. The unvested portion of the warrant was valued as of the date of issuance and is being amortized as a charge to marketing expense over the term of the co-marketing agreement. As of December 31, 2002, a total of 450,000 shares subject to the warrant were vested. We recognized amortization of $380,000 and $1.8 million for 2002 and 2001, respectively, for this warrant. The value of the unvested portion of the warrant will be adjusted in each reporting period based on changes in the fair value of the warrants until such date as the warrants are fully vested. There is no obligation for this strategic partner to make future product purchases from us
In connection with stock option grants to our employees, we have recorded deferred stock compensation totaling $8.5 million through December 31, 2000, of which approximately $253,000 remains to be amortized as of December 31, 2002. This amount represents the difference between the exercise price and the deemed fair value of our common stock on the date the options were granted multiplied by the number of option shares granted. This amount is included as a component of stockholders' equity and is being amortized by charges to operations over the vesting period of the options, consistent with the method described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 28. We recognized amortization of deferred compensation expense of $775,000 in 2002, $1.8 million in 2001 and $3.9 million in 2000. The amortization of the remaining deferred stock compensation at December 31, 2002 will result in additional charges to operations through 2003. The amortization of stock compensation is classified as a separate component of operating expenses in our consolidated statement of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002 in Item 8: Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. We believe our most critical accounting policies include the following:
Revenue recognition. We recognize revenue when an agreement has been signed by both parties or other persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the software has been shipped or electronically delivered, the fees are fixed or determinable, collection of the resulting receivable is probable, and no other significant obligations remain. For multiple element arrangements where vendor specific objective evidence of fair value exists for all undelivered elements, we account for the delivered elements in accordance with the "residual method" prescribed by Statement of Position 98-9. Vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value is based on the price a customer is required to pay when the element is sold separately.
21
We assess whether the fee is fixed and determinable and collection is probable at the time of the transaction. In assessing whether the fee is fixed and determinable we analyze the payment terms of the transaction and other factors, including the nature and class of customer, our historical experience of collecting under our payment terms without granting a concession, the possibility of the product becoming technologically obsolete before the payments become due and the likelihood of the customer asking for a refund. If we determine the fee is not fixed or determinable we defer the revenue until the payments under the arrangement become due. We assess whether collection is probable based on a number of factors, including the customer's past transaction history and credit worthiness. If we determine that collection of a fee is not probable, we defer the fee and recognize revenue at the time collection become probable, which is generally upon the receipt of cash.
Maintenance revenues consist primarily of fees for providing unspecified software upgrades on a when-and-if-available basis and technical support over a specified term, which is typically twelve months. Maintenance revenues are typically paid in advance and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the specified term.
Revenues on sales made by alliance partners are generally recognized upon shipment of the software to the end user, if all other revenue recognition criteria noted above are met. Under limited arrangements with certain distributors when all the revenue recognition criteria have been met upon delivery of the product to the distributor, revenues are recognized at that time. The Company does not offer a right of return on its products.
The fair value of services such as consulting or training is based upon separate sales of these services. Consulting and training services are generally sold on a time-and-materials or fixed fee basis and are generally recognized as the services are performed. Consulting services primarily consist of implementation services related to the installation of the Company's products and generally do not involve significant production, modification or customization to or development of the software.
Significant management judgments and estimates must be made in connection with determination of the revenue to be recognized in any accounting period. If we made different judgments or estimates for any period, material differences in the amount and timing of revenue could result.
Allowance for doubtful accounts. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts based on our analyses of the likelihood that our customers will not pay us all the money they owe. In circumstances where there is knowledge of a specific customer's inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount that is reasonably believed to be collected. For all our customers we perform analyses, which includes a review of their credit profiles, the terms and conditions of the contracts with our customers, and the current economic trends and payment history. We reassess these allowances each accounting period. If actual payment experience with our customers is different than our estimates, adjustments to these allowances may be necessary resulting in additional charges to our income statement.
Accounting for income taxes. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets by the amount of tax benefits we estimate, based on available evidence is not expected to be realized. Tax benefits will not be realized if we do not generate sufficient taxable income in the future to apply the deferred tax balance against. As of December 31, 2002, a valuation allowance equal to the value of the deferred tax assets was maintained. In the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such a determination was made.
Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income tax assets and liabilities and our future taxable income for purposes of assessing our ability to realize any future benefit from our deferred tax assets. In the event actual results differ from these estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods, our operating results and financial position could be materially affected.

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000
Revenues
Total revenues were $150.8 million for 2002, $190.6 million for 2001 and $118.3 million for 2000, representing a decrease of $39.8 million, or 21%, from 2001 to 2002 and an increase of $72.3 million, or 61%, from 2000 to 2001. No customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues in 2002, 2001 or 2000.
License revenues. License revenues were $67.2 million for 2002, $109.6 million for 2001 and $65.4 million for 2000, representing a decrease of $42.4 million, or 39%, from 2001 to 2002 and an increase of $44.2 million, or 68%, from 2000 to 2001. License revenues as a percentage of total revenues were 45% in 2002, 58% in 2001 and 55% in 2000. The decrease in our license revenues from 2001 to 2002 was primarily due to general corporate cost-cutting measures, reduced capital spending budgets and general economic weakness. The increase in license revenues from 2000 to 2001 was due primarily to continued sales of our Business Integration Suite, the increased acceptance of our products
23
in key vertical markets and the expansion of our relationships with leading systems integrators during 2001.
Services Revenues. Services revenues were $43.6 million for 2002, $51.7 million for 2001 and $36.7 million for 2000, representing a decrease of $8.1 million, or 16%, from 2001 to 2002 and an increase of $15.0 million, or 41%, from 2000 to 2001. Services revenues as a percentage of total revenues were 29% in 2002, 27% in 2001 and 31% in 2000. The decrease in the absolute dollar amount of services revenues from 2001 to 2002 was due primarily to the decline in consulting revenues that resulted from the corresponding decrease in license revenues. The increase in the absolute dollar amount of services revenues from 2000 to 2001 were primarily due to the growth of consulting revenues associated with increased licensing revenues during 2001.
Maintenance Revenues. Maintenance revenues were $40.0 million for 2002, $29.3 million for 2001 and $16.2 million for 2000, representing increases of $10.7 million, or 37%, from 2001 to 2002 and $13.1 million, or 81%, from 2000 to 2001. Maintenance revenues as a percentage of total revenues were 26% in 2002, 15% in 2001 and 14% in 2000. The increases in the absolute dollar amount of maintenance revenues from 2000 to 2001 and 2001 to 2002 were primarily due to increased cumulative license sales of our products and the renewals of prior period maintenance contracts, which had increased consistent with the increase in our cumulative license revenues.
Costs of revenues
Cost of License Revenues. Cost of license revenues consists primarily of the cost of third-party licensed software embedded or bundled with our products. Cost of license revenues was $2.3 million for 2002, $2.0 million for 2001 and $569,000 for 2000. Cost of license revenues, as a percentage of total revenues, was 2% in 2002, 1% in 2001 and 0% in 2000. The increases in the cost of license revenues from 2000 to 2001 and from 2001 to 2002 were primarily due to an increase in the proportion of products we sold that contain third-party software embedded or bundled with our software product offerings.
Cost of Services Revenues. Cost of services revenues was $37.5 million for 2002, $43.4 million for 2001 and $32.6 million for 2000. Cost of services revenues as a percentage of total revenues was 25% in 2002, 23% in 2001 and 28% in 2000. The decrease in the absolute dollar amount of cost of services revenues from 2001 to 2002 was primarily due to the decrease in professional services staff and the related costs associated with decreased services revenues. The increases in cost of services revenues from 2000 to 2001 was primarily due to increases in professional services staff and the related costs associated with increased revenues during 2001.
Cost of Maintenance Revenues. Cost of maintenance revenues was $7.9 million in 2002, $5.2 million in 2001 and $3.3 million in 2000. Cost of maintenance revenues as a percentage of total revenues was 5% in 2002, 3% in 2001 and 3% in 2000. The increases in the absolute dollar amount of cost of maintenance revenues from 2000 to 2001 and from 2001 to 2002 were primarily due to increased headcount in our customer support organization as a result of an increase in the total number of customers supported by that organization.
Operating expenses
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses were $34.4 million for 2002, $29.2 million for 2001 and $19.2 million for 2000. Research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 23% in 2002, 15% in 2001 and 16% in 2000. The increases in the absolute dollar amount of research and development expenses from 2000 to 2001 and from 2001 to 2002 were primarily due to the increase in the number of software development personnel and quality assurance personnel to support our product development, documentation and quality assurance
24
activities related to the development of current and future versions of our products. We anticipate research and development expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollars in the foreseeable future as we continue to expand our product suites, upgrade the performance of existing products and continue our investment in research and development efforts.
Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses were $66.5 million for 2002, $95.5 million for 2001 and $76.7 million for 2000. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 44% in 2002, 50% in 2001 and 65% in 2000. The decrease in the absolute dollar amount in sales and marketing expenses from 2001 to 2002 was due to a decrease in sales and marketing personnel and promotional and public relations activities. The increase in the absolute dollar amount in sales and marketing expenses 2000 to 2001 was due to the expansion of our domestic and international direct sales forces, the increase in marketing directly to specific vertical markets such as manufacturing, retail and telecommunications/energy/utilities and the increase in marketing staff, promotional and public relations activities and product and corporate communications during 2001.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $18.6 million for 2002, $21.2 million for 2001 and $17.2 million for 2000. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 12% in 2002, 11% in 2001 and 15% in 2000. The increase in the absolute dollar amount from 2000 to 2001 was primarily due to hiring additional executive, finance, information technology and administrative personnel to support the growth of our business and worldwide infrastructure during the first half of 2001. The decrease in the absolute dollar amount from 2001 to 2002 was primarily due to the completion of reductions in workforce during the second half of 2001 and in the last quarter of 2002.
Restructuring Charge. In 2001, a restructuring charge of $3.4 million for employee termination benefits and related costs was recorded. These restructuring charges were recorded to align our cost structure with changing market conditions. The restructuring resulted in headcount reductions of approximately 228 employees, which was comprised of 56% sales and marketing staff, 15% professional services staff, 19% general and administrative staff and 10% research and development staff.
In 2002, restructuring and impairment charges totaling $6.6 million, consisting of $2.1 million for headcount reductions, $2.7 million related to the abandonment of facilities and $1.8 million related to the abandonment of leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures and equipment in connection with such facilities were recorded. These restructuring charges were recorded to further align our cost structure with changing market conditions. The headcount reduction of approximately 57 employees was comprised of 58% sales and marketing staff, 19% professional services staff, 14% research and development staff and 9% general and administrative staff. The amount accrued for involuntary termination benefits as of December 31, 2002 was approximately $870,000 and is expected to be paid during the first three months of 2003. The amount accrued for rent and related expenses such as property taxes and insurance for properties abandoned as of December 31, 2002 was approximately $2.7 million and is expected to be paid over the next twenty-one months.
Amortization of Goodwill. Amortization of goodwill was $0 in 2002, $319,000 in 2001 and $0 in 2000. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but reviewed annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, for impairment. We adopted SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002 with respect to goodwill and intangible assets and as a result goodwill was not amortized in 2002. The increase in amortization of goodwill from 2000 to 2001 was due to the acquisition of STC Software Technologies Corporation (Schweiz), AG Zurich in January 2001.
25
Amortization of Sales and Marketing Warrants. In connection with the grant of warrants to purchase shares of common stock to certain strategic alliance partners during 2000 and 1999, we recorded deferred compensation related to the warrants of $12.8 million of which approximately $0 in 2002, $5.2 million in 2001 and $6.8 million in 2000 was expensed as amortization of warrants. In connection with the grant of a warrant to purchase shares of common stock to General Motors Corporation during 2001, approximately $1.1 million was recorded as a reduction in revenue and approximately $380,000 and $711,000 was expensed as amortization of warrants in 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Amortization of Stock-Based Compensation. In connection with stock option grants to employees and non-employee directors during 2000 and 1999, we recorded total deferred compensation of $8.5 million, of which approximately $775,000 in 2002, $1.8 million in 2001 and $3.9 million in 2000 was expensed as amortization of stock-based compensation.
Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net
Interest and other income (expense), net primarily consists of interest income (expense). Interest and other income (expense), net, was approximately $1.1 million in 2002, $435,000 in 2001 and $(23,000) in 2000. The increases in interest and other income, net from 2000 to 2001 and from 2001 to 2002 were primarily due to increases in interest income due to larger average cash balances during 2001 as compared to 2000 and 2002 as compared to 2001, which is attributable to our common stock secondary public offering in February 2002.
Income Taxes
In 2002, a provision of $697,000, was recorded for state and foreign taxes compared to a provision of $463,000 in 2001 and $0 in 2000. As of December 31, 2002, we had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $96.1 million for federal and $60.9 million for state, which expire through 2022 for federal and 2012 for state taxes. We also had available tax credit carryforwards of approximately $2.9 million each for federal and California purposes, which expire through 2022. The United States tax laws contain provisions that limit the use in any future period of net operating loss and credit carryforwards upon the occurrence of certain events, including a significant change in ownership interests. We had deferred tax assets, including our net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits of approximately $55.5 million as of December 31, 2002. The realization of benefits of the net operating loses and tax credits are dependent on sufficient taxable income in future years. Possible lack of future earnings or a change in the ownership of the Company could adversely affect our ability to utilize its tax attributes. A valuation allowance has been recorded for the entire deferred tax asset as a result of uncertainties regarding the realization of this asset. See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2002, we had cash and cash equivalents of $94.1 million, an increase of $47.1 million from $47.0 million held as of December 31, 2001. The increase was due primarily to our common stock secondary offering completed in February 2002.
Net cash used in operating activities was $3.7 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2002, as compared with $275,000 in the same period in the previous year. This increase in cash used in operating activities reflects primarily increases in net loss, accrued expenses, deferred revenues and accounts payable offset by a decrease in accounts receivable.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2002, our accounts receivable decreased approximately $7.5 million from $41.1 million at December 31, 2001 to $33.6 million at December 31, 2002. This decline was primarily due to a decrease in revenue during the twelve months ended
26
December 31, 2002 as compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2001. The timing of receivable collections and revenue recorded within a given quarter will affect our accounts receivable balances going forward.
Net cash used in investing activities was $15.2 million million during the twelve months ended December 31, 200, as compared with $6.1 million in the same period in the previous year. The increase primarily was due to an increase in purchases of property and equipment related to new office facilities and information systems.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $65.0 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2002, as compared with $24.8 million in the same period in the previous year. The increase primarily was due to the completion of our secondary public offering in February 2002, partially offset by the repurchase of shares of our common stock during the fourth quarter of 2002.
In May 2000, we completed our initial public offering of 4,600,000 shares of common stock at $12 per share and realized proceeds, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and issuance costs, of approximately $49.6 million. Concurrent with the initial public offering, we completed the sale of 1,200,000 shares of common stock to a purchaser in a private placement at a price of $12 per share and realized proceeds, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and issuance costs, of approximately $14.1 million.
In September 2000, we also repaid, in its entirety, a $10.0 million note payable we had with a lending institution, using a portion of the proceeds from our initial public offering.
In November 2000, we established a $15.0 million line of credit facility with a lending institution that bears interest at an annual rate of either prime plus 0.5% or the LIBOR rate plus 2.50%, payable monthly, and which was to expire May 31, 2002. In October 2001, we amended the credit facility to extend the expiration date through May 31, 2003. As of December 31, 2002, $7.3 million was available under the credit facility and there were no borrowings outstanding. We may use up to $5,000,000 of the credit facility to issue letters of credit. The credit facility is secured by intellectual property rights, accounts receivable and certain other assets and is subject to certain borrowing base restrictions. The credit facility requires maintenance of certain financial covenants pertaining to key financial ratios. The credit facility replaced a $10.0 million line of credit facility with another lending institution that bore interest at an annual rate of prime plus 2%, payable monthly, and would have expired on February 1, 2001. The outstanding balance on the replaced credit facility was repaid in May 2000 using a portion of the proceeds from the initial public offering.
In October 2001, our $3.0 million equipment line with the same lending institution providing the credit facility was amended, reducing the maximum amount available for borrowing under the equipment line to $2.0 million. The equipment line bears interest at an annual rate of either prime plus 0.75%, or the LIBOR rate plus 2.75%, payable monthly, and expires on November 30, 2004. We could draw against the equipment line through November 30, 2001. Interest is payable monthly and principal is payable in 36 monthly installments commencing in December 2001. As of December 31, 2002, there was $1.3 million outstanding under the equipment line. The equipment line is secured by certain of our assets.
In December 2002, our credit facility was amended to include an equipment advance in the amount of $5.0 million from the same lending institution. Interest on the equipment advance is payable monthly and principal is payable in 24 equal monthly installments, beginning January 31, 2003. The equipment advance bears interest at an annual rate of prime plus 0.75% or the LIBOR rate plus 3.0%. As of December 31, 2002 the balance outstanding under this equipment advance was $5.0 million.
In December 2001, we completed the sale of 2,574,298 shares of common stock to purchasers in a private placement at a price of $5.83 per share and realized proceeds, net of commissions and issuance costs, of approximately $14.9 million.
27
In February 2002, we completed a secondary public offering of 6,572,623 shares of common stock at $9.57 per share and realized proceeds, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and issuance costs of approximately $59.0 million.
In November 2002, we completed the repurchase of 1,200,000 shares of our common stock at an average price of $2.30 per share.
We anticipate continued growth in our operating expenses for the foreseeable future, particularly in sales and marketing expenses and, to a lesser extent, research and development and general and administrative expenses. As a result, we expect our operating expenses and capital expenditures to constitute the primary uses of our cash resources. In addition, we may require cash resources to fund acquisitions or investments in complementary businesses, technologies or product lines. We believe our current cash and cash equivalents and expected cash from operations, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 24 months. However, in the event there is reduced demand for our products and services in the future, our cash from operations could be negatively impacted. Thereafter, we may need to raise additional funds, and cannot be certain we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, if at all.
Future minimum payments required under capital leases, together with the net present value of such payments, and future minimum lease payments required under operating leases, by year and in the aggregate, with initial terms of one year or more, consisted of the following at December 31, 2002 (in thousands):

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock Based CompensationTransition and Disclosurean Amendment to FAS 123." SFAS 148 provides two additional transition methods for entities that adopt the fair value method of accounting for stock based compensation. As permitted we have not adopted the fair value method. The statement requires disclosure of comparable information for all companies regardless of whether, when, or how an entity adopts the preferable, fair value based method of accounting. These disclosures are now required for interim periods in addition to the traditional annual disclosure. The amendments to SFAS No. 123, which provides for additional transition methods, are effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2002, although earlier application is permitted. The amendments to the disclosure requirements are required for financial reports containing condensed financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002.
28
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 requires a liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred rather than the date of commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.
In November 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an announcement on the topic of "Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out of Pocket Expense Incurred", which was subsequently incorporated in Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") No. 01-14. EITF No. 01-14 requires companies to characterize reimbursements received for out of pocket expenses as revenues in the statement of operations. Historically, we have netted reimbursements received for out of pocket expenses against the related expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. We adopted the pronouncement 2002. Revenues from reimbursable expenses for the prior year have been reclassified for comparative purposes.
In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. We adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002 and it did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In June 2001, SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" was issued and we expect to adopt these new standards effective as of January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations and changes the criteria to recognize intangible assets apart from goodwill. Under SFAS No. 142 goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are no longer amortized but reviewed annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, for impairment. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 and SFAS 142 did not have a significant effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Risks Related To SeeBeyond
You should carefully consider the risks described below in evaluating the other statements made herein. The risks described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our business operations.
Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected by any of these risks. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks.
A continued downturn in the general economy or a continuation of the industry trend toward reducing or delaying additional information technology spending due to cost-cutting pressures could reduce demand for our products and services.
We rely significantly upon customers making large information technology purchasing decisions as a source of revenue. During 2001 and 2002, we experienced a general slow-down in the level of capital spending by some of our customers due to the general economic downturn, which has adversely affected our revenues. This slow-down in capital spending, if sustained in future periods, could result in reduced sales or the postponement of sales to our customers. There can be no assurance that the level of spending on information technology in general, or on business integration software by our customers and potential customers in particular, will increase or remain at current levels in future periods. Lower spending on information technology could result in reduced license sales to our customers, reduced overall revenues, diminished margin levels, and could impair our operating results in future periods.
29
We have a large accumulated deficit, we may incur future losses and we may not achieve or maintain profitability.
We have incurred substantial losses since 1998 as we increased funding of the development of our products and technologies and expanded our sales and marketing organization. As of December 31, 2002, we had an accumulated deficit of $126.4 million. We may continue to incur losses in future periods and we may not achieve or maintain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.
Our operating results fluctuate significantly, and an unanticipated decline in revenues or gross margin may disappoint securities analysts or investors and result in a decline in our stock price.
Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and may vary significantly in the future. We believe period-to-period comparisons of our historical results of operations are not a good predictor of our future performance.
Our revenues and operating results depend upon the volume and timing of customer orders and payments and the date of product delivery. Historically, a substantial portion of our revenues in a given quarter has been recorded in the final month of that quarter, with a concentration of these revenues in the last two weeks of the final month. We expect this trend to continue and, therefore, any failure or delay in the closing of orders would have a material adverse effect on our quarterly operating results. Since our operating expenses are based on anticipated revenues and because a high percentage of these expenses are relatively fixed, a delay in the recognition of revenues from one or more license transactions could cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter and cause a decline in our stock price. We realize substantially higher gross margins on our license revenues compared to our services and maintenance revenues. Thus, our margins for any particular quarter will be highly dependent on our revenue mix in that quarter. In our international markets, we have experienced some seasonality of revenues, with lower revenues in the summer months. Although this seasonality has not had a material impact on our operating results in the past, we cannot assure you our operating results will not fluctuate in the future as a result of these and other international trends.
We record as deferred revenue payments from customers that do not meet our revenue recognition policy requirements. Since only a small portion of our revenues each quarter is recognized from deferred revenue, our quarterly results depend primarily upon entering into new contracts to generate revenues for that quarter. New contracts may not result in revenues in the quarter in which the contract was signed, and we may not be able to predict accurately when revenues from these contracts will be recognized. If our operating results are below the expectations of securities analysts or investors for these or other reasons, our stock price would likely decline, perhaps substantially.
We experience long and variable sales cycles, which could have a negative impact on our results of operations for any given quarter.
Our products are often used by our customers throughout their organizations to address critical business problems. Customers generally consider a wide range of issues before committing to purchase our products, including product benefits, the ability to operate with existing and future computer systems, the ability to accommodate increased transaction volumes and product reliability. Many customers are addressing these issues for the first time when they consider whether to buy our products and services. As a result, we or other parties, including systems integrators, must educate potential customers on the use and benefits of our products and services. In addition, the purchase of our products generally involves a significant commitment of capital and other resources by a customer. This commitment often requires significant technical review, assessment of competitive products and approval at a number of management levels within a customer's organization. Our sales cycle may vary based on the industry in which the potential customer operates and is difficult to predict for any particular license transaction. The length and variability of our sales cycle makes it difficult to predict
30
whether particular sales will be concluded in any given quarter. If one or more of our license transactions are not consummated in a given quarter, our results of operations for that quarter may be below our expectations and the expectations of analysts and investors.
Our operating results are highly dependent on license revenues from one software suite, and our business could be materially harmed by factors that adversely affect the pricing and demand for this software suite.
Substantially all of our license revenues have been, and are expected to continue to be, derived from the license of our Business Integration Suite. Accordingly, our future operating results will depend on the demand for our Business Integration Suite by future customers, including new and enhanced releases that are subsequently introduced. Our latest version of e*Gate Integrator version 4.5, was launched in June 2001. If our competitors release new products that are superior to our Business Integration Suite in performance or price, or if we fail to enhance our Business Integration Suite and introduce new products in a timely manner, demand for our products may decline, and we may have to reduce the pricing of our products. A decline in demand or pricing for our Business Integration Suite as a result of these or other factors would significantly reduce our revenues.
In the past, we have experienced delays in the commencement of commercial releases of our Business Integration Suite. To date, these delays have not had a material impact on our revenues. In the future, we may fail to introduce or deliver new products on a timely basis. If new releases or products are delayed or do not achieve market acceptance, we could experience customer dissatisfaction or a delay or loss of revenues. For example, the introduction of new enterprise and business applications requires us to introduce new e*Way adapters to support the integration of these applications. Our failure to introduce these or other modules in a timely manner could cause our revenues and market share to decline. In addition, customers may delay purchases of our products in anticipation of future releases. If customers defer material orders in anticipation of new releases or new product introductions, our revenues may decline.
Moreover, as we release enhanced versions of our products, we may not be successful in upgrading our customers who purchased previous versions of our Business Integration Suite to the current version. We also may not be successful in selling add-on modules for our products to existing customers. Any failure to continue to upgrade existing customers' products or sell new modules, if and when they are introduced, could negatively impact customer satisfaction and our revenues.
Our revenues will likely decline if we do not develop and maintain successful relationships with our systems integration partners and other partners, who also have relationships with our competitors.
We have entered into agreements with a number of systems integrators for them to install and deploy our products and perform custom integration of systems and applications. These systems integrators also engage in joint marketing and sales efforts with us. If these relationships fail, we will have to devote substantially more resources to the sales and marketing and implementation and support of our products than we would otherwise, and our efforts may not be as effective as those of the systems integrators. In many cases, these parties have extensive relationships with our existing and potential customers and influence the decisions of these customers. We rely upon these firms to recommend our products during the evaluation stage of the purchasing process, as well as for implementation and customer support services.
These systems integrators are not contractually required to implement our products, and competition for these resources may preclude us from obtaining sufficient resources to provide the necessary implementation services to support our needs. If the number of installations of our products exceeds our access to the resources provided by these systems integrators, we will be required to provide these services internally, which would increase our expenses and significantly limit our ability to meet our customers' implementation needs. A number of our competitors have stronger relationships
31
with some of these systems integrators and, as a result, these systems integrators might be more likely to recommend competitors' products and services instead of ours. In addition, a number of our competitors have relationships with a greater number of these systems integrators or have stronger systems integrator relationships based on specific vertical markets and, therefore, have access to a broader base of customers.
Our failure to establish or maintain systems integrator relationships would significantly harm our ability to license and successfully implement our software products. In addition, we rely on the industry expertise and customer contacts of these firms in order to market our products more effectively. Therefore, any failure of these relationships would also harm our ability to increase revenues in key commercial markets. We are currently investing, and plan to continue to invest, significant resources to develop these relationships. Our operating results could be adversely affected if these efforts do not generate license and service revenues necessary to offset this investment.
Our markets are highly competitive and, if we do not compete effectively, we may suffer price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share.
The market for our products is intensely competitive, evolving and subject to rapid technological change. We expect the intensity of competition to increase in the future. As a result of increased competition, we may have to reduce the price of our products and services, and we may experience reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any one of which could significantly reduce our future revenues and operating results. Our current competitors include vendors offering e-Business application integration, or eAI, and traditional electronic data interchange, or EDI, software products, as well as "in house" information technology departments of potential customers that have developed or may develop systems that provide some or all of the functionality of our Business Integration Suite. We may also encounter competition from major enterprise software developers in the future.
Many of our existing and potential competitors have more resources, broader customer relationships and better-established brands than we do. In addition, many of these competitors have extensive knowledge of our industry. Some of our competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to offer a single solution and increase the ability of their products to address customer needs.
Our substantial and expanding international operations are subject to uncertainties, which could adversely affect our operating results.
Revenues from the sale of products and services outside the United States accounted for 35% of our total revenues in 2002, 34% of our total revenues in 2001 and 25% of our total revenues in 2000. Revenues from the sale of products and services in the United Kingdom as a percent of our total revenues were 12.9% in 2002, 16.6% in 2001 and 11.7% in 2000. We believe revenues from sales outside the United States will continue to account for a material portion of our total revenues for the foreseeable future. We are exposed to several risks inherent in conducting business internationally, such as:
32
Any of these factors could adversely affect our international operations and, consequently, our operating results.
We could suffer losses and negative publicity if new versions or releases of our products contain errors or defects.
Our products and their interactions with customers' software applications and IT systems are complex and, accordingly, there may be undetected errors or failures when our products are introduced or as new versions are released. In the past we have discovered software errors in our new releases and new products after their introduction, which have resulted in additional product development expenses. To date, these additional expenses have not been material. These errors have resulted in product release delays, delayed revenues and customer dissatisfaction. In the future we may discover errors, including performance limitations, in new releases or new products after the commencement of commercial shipments. Since many customers are using our products for mission-critical business operations, any of these occurrences could seriously harm our business and generate negative publicity, which could have a negative impact on future sales. Although we maintain product liability and errors and omissions insurance, we cannot assure you these policies will be sufficient to compensate for losses caused by any of these occurrences.
If our products do not operate with the many hardware and software platforms used by our customers and keep pace with technological change, our business may fail.
We currently serve a customer base with a wide variety of constantly changing hardware, software applications and networking platforms. If our products fail to gain broad market acceptance due to an inability to support a variety of these platforms, our operating results may suffer. Our business depends on a number of factors, including the following:
Our industry is characterized by very rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions and enhancements, changes in customer demands and evolving industry standards. We have also found the technological life cycles of our products are difficult to estimate. We believe we must continue to enhance our current products and concurrently develop and introduce new products that anticipate emerging technology standards and keep pace with competitive and technological developments. Failure to do so will harm our ability to compete. As a result, we are required to continue to make substantial product development investments.
The market for business integration software may not grow as quickly as we anticipate, which would cause our revenues to fall below expectations.
The market for business integration software is rapidly evolving. We earn substantially all of our license revenues from sales of our Business Integration Suite. We expect to earn substantially all of our
33
revenues in the foreseeable future from sales of our Business Integration Suite and related products and services. Our future financial performance will depend on continued growth in the number of organizations demanding software and services for application integration and business integration solutions and seeking outside vendors to develop, manage and maintain this software for their critical applications. Many of our potential customers have made significant investments in internally developed systems and would incur significant costs in switching to third-party products, which may substantially inhibit the growth of the market for business integration software. If this market fails to grow, or grows more slowly than we expect, our revenues will be adversely affected.
Pending or future litigation could have a material adverse impact on our results of operation and financial condition.
From time to time, we have been subject to litigation. Several putative securities class action lawsuits are currently pending against us, our directors and officers. The plaintiffs in these suits allege we and the other defendants made false statements about our operating results and business, while concealing material information. We believe these lawsuits are without merit and we intend to defend against them vigorously. The complaint does not specify the amount of damages the plaintiffs seek, and as a result, we are unable to estimate the possible range of damages that might be incurred as a result of the lawsuit. The uncertainty associated with these unresolved lawsuits could harm our business, financial condition and reputation. Negative developments with respect to the lawsuits could cause our stock price to decline. In addition to the related cost and use of cash, pending or future litigation could cause the diversion of management's attention and resources. Although we have begun to accrue amounts relating to legal costs and expenses, we have not accrued any amounts relating to potential damages associated with the putative class action lawsuits. However, because of uncertainties relating to litigation, our decision as to whether to accrue and the amount of our estimates could be wrong. In addition, although we are unable to determine the amount, if any, we may be required to pay in connection with the resolution of the lawsuits by settlement or otherwise, such a payment could seriously harm our results of operation, financial condition and liquidity.
If we fail to adequately protect our proprietary rights, we may lose these rights and our business may be seriously harmed.
We depend upon our ability to develop and protect our proprietary technology and intellectual property rights to distinguish our product from our competitors' products. The unauthorized use by others of our proprietary rights could materially harm our business. We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality agreements and licensing arrangements, to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We currently have no issued patents. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, existing laws afford only limited protection. Attempts may be made to copy or reverse engineer aspects of our products or to obtain and use information we regard as proprietary. Accordingly, we cannot be certain we will be able to protect our proprietary rights against unauthorized third party copying or use. Furthermore, policing the unauthorized use of our products is difficult, and expensive litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights.
Our products could infringe the intellectual property rights of others, causing costly litigation and the loss of significant rights.
Third parties may claim we have infringed their current or future intellectual property rights. We expect software developers in our market will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products in different software industry segments overlap. Any claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, prevent product shipment or cause delays, or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, any of which could harm our business. Patent
34
litigation in particular has complex technical issues and inherent uncertainties. In the event an infringement claim against us is successful and we cannot obtain a license on acceptable terms, license a substitute technology or redesign our products to avoid infringement, our business would be harmed. Furthermore, former employers of our current and future employees may assert our employees have improperly disclosed to us or are using their confidential or proprietary information.
Failure to raise additional capital or generate the significant capital necessary to expand our operations and invest in new products could reduce our ability to compete and result in lower revenues.
We currently expect our current cash resources, together with the net proceeds from this offering, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months. After that, we may need to raise additional funds, and we cannot be certain we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, or at all. If we raise additional equity financing, our stockholders may experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the per share value of our common stock could decline. If we engage in debt financing, we may be required to accept terms that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness and force us to maintain specified liquidity or other ratios, any of which could harm our business. If we need additional capital and cannot raise it on acceptable terms, we may not be able to, among other things:
Our failure to do any of these things could result in lower revenues and could seriously harm our business.
If we fail to attract and retain qualified personnel, our ability to compete will be harmed.
We depend on the continued service of our key technical, sales and senior management personnel, including our founder and Chief Executive Officer, James T. Demetriades. Most of these persons are not bound by an employment agreement, and we do not maintain key person life insurance on any of these persons, other than Mr. Demetriades. The loss of any of our senior management or other key product development or sales and marketing personnel could adversely affect our future operating results. In addition, we must attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees, including sales personnel and software engineers. We face significant competition for individuals with the skills required to develop, market and support our products and services. We may not be able to recruit and retain sufficient numbers of these highly skilled employees. If we fail to do so, our ability to compete will be significantly harmed.
Our growth continues to place a significant strain on our management systems and resources. If we fail to manage our growth, our ability to market and sell our products and develop new products may be harmed.
We must plan and manage our growth effectively in order to offer our products and services and achieve revenue growth and profitability in a rapidly evolving market. Our growth has and will continue to place a significant strain on our management systems and resources, and we may not be able to effectively manage our growth in the future.
35
Furthermore, if our relationships with systems integrators succeed and we are able to penetrate additional commercial markets, we may need additional sales and marketing and professional services resources to support these customers. The growth of our customer base will require us to invest significant resources in the training and development of our employees and our systems integration partners. If these organizations fail to keep pace with the number and demands of the customers that license our products, our ability to market and sell our products and services and our ability to develop new products and services will be harmed. To manage our business, we must continue to:
In addition, if we acquire or invest in other companies, we may experience further strain on our resources and face risks inherent in integrating two corporate cultures, product lines, operations and businesses.
We have implemented anti-takeover provisions that could discourage or prevent a takeover, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders.
Some provisions of Delaware law and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could have the effect of delaying or preventing a third party from acquiring us, even if a change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders. For example, our certificate of incorporation provides for a classified board of directors whose members serve staggered three-year terms and does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by our stockholders, to fix the rights and preferences of and issue shares of preferred stock. In addition, our stockholders are unable to act by written consent. These and other provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would benefit our stockholders.
Concentration of ownership among our existing executive officers and directors may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.
Our President and Chief Executive Officer, James T. Demetriades beneficially owns approximately 30% of our outstanding common stock. Our executive officers and directors beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 39% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders will be able to exercise a significant level of control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of SeeBeyond and will make some transactions difficult or impossible without the support of these stockholders.
External factors such as the conflict with Iraq and potential terrorist attacks could have a material adverse affect on the U.S. and global economics.
The recent outbreak of war with Iraq coupled with the possibility of potential terrorist attacks could have an adverse effect upon an already weakened world economy and could cause U.S. and foreign businesses to slow spending on products and services and delay sales cycles. The economic uncertainty resulting from the current military action in Iraq and other responses associated with the
36
war with Iraq may continue to negatively impact consumer as well as business confidence at least in the short term.
Item 7A: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
We develop products in the United States and sell them in North America, Europe, Africa and the Pacific Rim. As a result, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets. If any of the events described above were to occur, our revenues could be seriously impacted, since a significant portion of our revenues are derived from international customers. We incurred net losses of approximately $266,000 and $171,000 in 2002 and 2001, respectively and a net gain of $5,000 in 2000 due to foreign currency fluctuations. Revenues from international customers represented 35%, 34% and 25% of total revenues in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Our line of credit carries a floating interest rate based on the prime rate plus 0.5%. Accordingly, we are subject to the risk of incurring additional interest expense should the prime interest rate increase in the future. The interest rate on our line of credit as of December 31, 2002 was 5.0%.

These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of SeaBeyond Technology Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of SeeBeyond Technology Corporation as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, SeaBeyond Technology Corporation changed its method of accounting for goodwill in 2002, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company
SeeBeyond Technology Corporation (the Company) is a leading provider of business integration software that enables the real-time flow of information within the enterprise and among customers, suppliers and partners. The Company believes it offers the only comprehensive business integration solution architected from a single, internally developed software code base, encompassing application-to-application integration, business-to-business integration and business process management. The Company's Business Integration Suite builds upon more than twelve years of continuous development of business integration solutions within and among enterprises.
The Company's operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including rapid technological changes, success of the Company's product marketing and product distribution strategies, the need to manage growth, the need to retain key personnel and protect intellectual property, and the availability of additional capital financing on terms acceptable to the Company.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2001 and 2000 information to conform to the current period's presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made in preparing the consolidated financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, certain accrued liabilities and estimates of future cash flows developed to determine whether conditions of impairment are present.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of temporary cash investments and accounts receivable. The Company places its temporary cash investments with financial institutions. The Company's accounts receivable are derived from revenues earned from customers located primarily in the United States, Europe, Australia and Japan. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial conditions and maintains allowances for potential credit losses. Credit losses have historically been within management's expectations. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security from its customers.
46
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company's short-term line of credit and equipment line payable had variable interest rates and, accordingly, the Company believes the carrying value of the short-term line of credit and equipment line approximates their fair values.
Software Development Costs
Costs related to the research and development of new software products and enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility of the product has been established, at which time such costs are capitalized, subject to expected recoverability. To date, the Company has not capitalized any development costs related to its software products since the time period between technological feasibility and general release of a product is not significant and related costs incurred during that time period have not been material.
For software developed for internal use, certain qualifying costs incurred in the application development stage are capitalized and amortized over a period of three years.
Revenue Recognition
In October 1997, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition. SOP 97-2, as amended by SOP 98-4 "Deferral of the Effective Date of a Provision of SOP 97-2," was adopted by the company as of January 1, 1998. In December 1998, the AICPA issued SOP 98-9, "Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions," which requires recognition of revenue using the "residual method" when (1) there is vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair values of all undelivered elements in a multiple-element arrangement that is not accounted for using long-term contract accounting, (2) vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value does not exist for one or more of the delivered elements in the arrangement, and (3) all revenue recognition criteria in SOP 97-2 other than the requirement for vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair value of each delivered element of the arrangement are satisfied.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 101 provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. SAB 101, as amended, is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1999 and was adopted in the quarter beginning October 1, 2000. SAB 101 did not have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In November 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an announcement on the topic of "Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out-of-Pocket Expenses Incurred," which was subsequently incorporated in Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") No. 01-14. EITF No. 01-14 requires companies to characterize reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses as revenues in the statement of operations. Historically, the Company has netted reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses against the related expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company adopted the pronouncement in 2002. Reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses reclassified as service revenues were approximately $3.1 million, $4.7 million and $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
47
The Company enters into arrangements with end users, which may include the sale of licenses of software, maintenance and services under the arrangement or various combinations of each element, including the sale of such elements separately. For each arrangement, revenues are recognized when an agreement has been signed by both parties, the fees are fixed or determinable, collection of the fees is probable and delivery of the product has occurred and no other significant obligations remain.
For multiple element arrangements, each element of the arrangement is analyzed and the Company allocates a portion of the total fee under the arrangement to the undelivered elements, primarily services and maintenance, using vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value of the element and the remaining portion of the fee is allocated to the delivered elements (i.e., generally the software license), regardless of any separate prices stated within the contract for each element, under the residual method prescribed by SOP 98-9. Vendor specific-objective evidence of fair value is based on the price the customer is required to pay when the element is sold separately (i.e., hourly rates charged for consulting services when sold separately from a software license and the renewal rate for maintenance arrangements). Each license agreement offers additional maintenance renewal periods at a stated price. If vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value does not exist for the undelivered elements, all revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the service period if the undelivered element is services, or over the period the maintenance is provided if the undelivered element is maintenance, or until sufficient objective evidence exists or all elements have been delivered.
License Revenues: Amounts allocated to license revenues under the residual method are recognized at the time of delivery of the software when vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value exists for the undelivered elements, if any, and all the other revenue recognition criteria discussed above have been met.
Services Revenues: Revenues from services are comprised of consulting and implementation services and, to a limited extent, training. Consulting services are generally sold on a time-and-materials or fixed fee basis and include a range of services including installation of off-the-shelf software, data conversion and building non-complex interfaces to allow the software to operate in customized environments. Services are generally separable from the other elements under the arrangement since the performance of the services are not essential to the functionality (i.e., do not involve significant production, modification or customization of the software or building complex interfaces) of any other element of the transaction and are described in the contract such that the total price of the arrangement would be expected to vary as the result of the inclusion or exclusion of the services. Revenues for services are recognized as the services are performed. Training services are sold on a per student basis and are recognized as classes are attended.
Maintenance Revenues: Maintenance revenues consist primarily of fees for providing unspecified software upgrades on a when-and-if-available basis and technical support over a specified term, which is typically twelve months. Maintenance revenues are typically paid in advance and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.
Revenues on sales made by alliance partners are generally recognized upon shipment of the software to the end user, if all other revenue recognition criteria noted above are met. Under limited arrangements with certain distributors, all the revenue recognition criteria have been met upon delivery of the product to the distributor and, accordingly, revenues are recognized at that time. The Company does not offer a right of return on its products.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per share has been computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company has excluded all redeemable
48
convertible preferred stock, warrants and outstanding stock options from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because all such securities are antidilutive for all periods presented.
Pro Forma Net Loss Per Share (unaudited)
Pro forma net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2000 was computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, including the pro forma effects of the automatic conversion of the Company's redeemable convertible preferred stock into shares of common stock effective upon the closing of the initial public offering in April 2000, as if such conversion had occurred on January 1, 2000 or at the date of original issuance, if later. The resulting pro forma adjustment includes an increase in the weighted average shares used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share of 4,657,000 shares for the year ended December 31, 2000. The unaudited pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share was $(0.63) for the year ended December 31, 2000. The pro forma basic and diluted weighted average shares was 66,657,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of applicable tax law. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance based on the amount of tax benefits that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized.
Advertising Expense
The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. The Company incurred approximately $350,000, $800,000 and $2.4 million in advertising costs during 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Long-lived Assets
The Company reviews for impairment long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability test is performed at the lowest level at which undiscounted net cash flows can be attributable to long-lived assets.
Goodwill
Goodwill acquired in purchase transactions prior to July 1, 2001 was amortized on a straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets over three years until January 1, 2002. Amortization expense was $319,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. Pursuant to SFAS No. 141 effective January 1, 2002, goodwill will no longer be amortized and will be subject to periodic impairment reviews.
Comprehensive Loss
The Company accounts for comprehensive loss using Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. Comprehensive loss, as defined therein, refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that are not included in net loss but rather are recorded directly in stockholders' equity.
49
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency for the Company's foreign operations is the local currency. Foreign currency financial statements are converted into United States dollars by translating asset and liability accounts at the current exchange rate at year-end and statement of operations accounts at the average exchange rate for the year, with the resulting translation adjustment reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity (deficit). Realized and unrealized transaction gains and losses, other than intercompany debt deemed to be of a long-term nature, are included in operations in the period they occur.
Stock-Based Compensation
As permitted under SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation", the Company continues to apply the provisions of APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," for its recording of stock-based compensation arrangements. Accordingly, the Company accounts for its stock based compensation using the intrinsic value method, which requires recognition of expense when the option exercise price is less than the fair value of the stock at the date of grant. The Company provides the required pro forma net income (loss) and pro forma earnings (loss) per share disclosures for employee stock option grants made in 1995 and future years as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. Under the fair value method stock options are valued and expensed based on the fair value of the options determined under an option-pricing model.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock Based CompensationTransition and Disclosurean Amendment to FAS 123." SFAS 148 provides two additional transition methods for entities that adopt the fair value method of accounting for stock based compensation. As permitted we have not adopted the fair value method. The statement requires disclosure of comparable information for all companies regardless of whether, when, or how an entity adopts the preferable, fair value based method of accounting. These disclosures are now required for interim periods in addition to the traditional annual disclosure. The amendments to SFAS No. 123, which provides for additional transition methods, are effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2002, although earlier application is permitted. The amendments to the disclosure requirements are required for financial reports containing condensed financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002.
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 requires a liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred rather than the date of commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002.
In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", and addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires all business combination initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method. Under SFAS No. 142 goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but reviewed annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, for impairment. The amortization
50
provisions of SFAS No. 142 apply to goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002 with respect to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001.
Note 2. Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the lease term of the assets: computer equipment, three years; office furniture and equipment, five years; leasehold improvements, through the lesser of useful life or life of the lease. Property and equipment, stated at cost, was as follows (in thousands):

Note 3. Operations by Reportable Segments and Geographic Area
The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." The Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") is considered to be the chief operating decision maker. The CEO reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis similar to the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the Company has concluded it operates primarily in one industry segment and, accordingly, has provided enterprise-wide disclosures.
The Company maintains operations in North America and sixteen countries in Europe and the Pacific Rim including: United Kingdom, Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, Australia and Japan. Information about the Company's operations in North America and international territories for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 are presented below.

The valuation allowance increased by approximately $6.3 million and $13.1 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively. Approximately $9.9 million of the valuation allowance relates to stock option compensation deductions incurred in our net operating loss carryforwards. If and when the Company

reduces any portion of the valuation allowance related to stock option compensation deduction, the benefit will be added to stockholders' equity, rather than being shown as a reduction of future income tax expense.
Loss before the provision for income taxes of the Company's foreign operations amounted to approximately $3.8 million, $3.3 million and $5.7 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000.
As of December 31, 2002, the Company had net operating loss ("NOL ") carryforwards for federal and state purposes of approximately $96.1 million and $60.9 million, respectively, expiring through 2022 for federal and 2012 for state. The Company also had federal and state research and development credit carryforwards of approximately $2.9 million each, which expire through 2022. The realization of the benefits of the NOLs and tax credits is dependent on sufficient taxable income in future years. The United States tax laws contain provisions that limit the use in any future period of net operating loss and credit carryforwards upon the occurrence of certain events including a significant change in ownership interest. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance against its otherwise recognizable deferred tax assets.
Note 6. Commitments, Contingencies and Debt
Bank Line of Credit and Notes Payable
In November 2000, the Company established a $15.0 million line of credit facility (the "Line") with a lending institution that bears interest at an annual rate of either prime plus 0.5% or the London InterBank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") rate plus 2.50% (payable monthly) and was to expire May 31, 2002. In October 2001, the Company amended the Line to extend the expiration date through May 31, 2003. As of December 31, 2002, $7.3 million was available under the Line and there were no borrowings outstanding. The Company may use up to $5.0 million of the Line to issue letters of credit. As of December 31, 2002, approximately $386,000 was available for the issuance of letters of credit. The Line is secured by intellectual property rights, accounts receivable and certain other assets and is subject to certain borrowing base restrictions. The Line requires maintenance of certain financial covenants pertaining to key financial ratios.
In October 2001, the Company's $3.0 million equipment line (the "Equipment Line") with the same lending institution providing the Line was amended, reducing the maximum amount available for borrowing under the Equipment Line to $2.0 million. The Equipment Line bears interest at an annual rate of prime plus 0.75%, or the LIBOR rate plus 2.75% (payable monthly) and expires on November 30, 2004. The rate at December 31, 2002 was 5.0%. The Company could draw against the Equipment Line through November 30, 2001. Interest is payable monthly and principal is payable in 36 monthly installments commencing in December 2001. As of December 31, 2002, there was $1.3 million outstanding under the Equipment Line. The Equipment Line is secured by certain assets of the Company.
In December 2002, the Company's credit facility was amended to include an equipment advance (the "Equipment Advance") in the amount of $5.0 million from the same lending institution. Interest on the Equipment Advance is payable monthly and principal is payable in 24 equal monthly installments, beginning January 31, 2003. The Equipment Advance bears interest at an annual rate of prime plus 0.75% or the LIBOR rate plus 3.0%. The rate at December 31, 2002 was 5.0%. As of December 31, 2002 the balance outstanding under this Equipment Advance was $5.0 million.
Future principal payments on the Equipment Line and the Equipment Advance will aggregate approximately $3.0 million in 2003 and $3.3 million in 2004, based on the total outstanding balance of approximately $6.3 million.

Lease Obligations
The Company leases office facilities and computers under non-cancelable operating lease agreements with third parties expiring through 2014. Certain of these leases contain escalation clauses and purchase options to purchase at various dates. The Company leases, from a related party, a 4,000-square-foot office facility under a non-cancelable operating lease agreement expiring in December 2004. The Company leases certain storage space and computer and office equipment under month-to-month leases.
The Company also leases office furniture and equipment under both capital and non-cancelable operating lease agreements with third parties expiring through 2005. Office furniture and equipment capitalized under capital leases totaled $1.0 million and $0 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and is included in the appropriate category under property and equipment. Related accumulated amortization of equipment under capital leases amounted to approximately $33,000 and $0 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and is included in accumulated depreciation. Amortization of office furniture and equipment under capital leases is included in depreciation and amortization expense.
Future minimum payments required under capital leases, together with the net present value of such payments, and future minimum lease payments required under operating leases, by year and in the aggregate, with initial terms of one year or more, consisted of the following at December 31, 2002 (in thousands):

Business Combinations
In July 2001, the Company acquired SeeBeyond Nordic ApS ("Nordic"), an independent distributor of the Company's software. The Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Nordic for approximately $116,000. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. Results of operations of the acquisition have been included in the consolidated operating results since the date of acquisition. Proforma financial information is not presented as such amounts are not material.
55
In January 2001, the Company acquired STC Software Technologies Corporation (Schweiz) AG, Zurich ("Distributor"), an independent distributor of the Company's software. The Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of the Distributor for approximately $885,000, excluding approximately $1.2 million of contingent consideration to be paid upon the achievement of certain operating results through June 2002. During 2002, the Company recorded an additional $268,000 upon the achievement of certain operating results as final consideration. The purchase price included $150,000 in cash and 35,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is being amortized as goodwill on a straight-line basis over a three-year period. Results of operations of the acquisition have been included in the consolidated operating results since the date of acquisition. Effective January 1, 2002, pursuant to SFAS 141, amortization will no longer be recorded and the goodwill amount will be subject to periodic impairment reviews. Proforma financial information is not presented as such amounts are not material.
Legal Proceedings
Beginning on July 3, 2002, several purported class action shareholder complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Company and several of our officers and directors. The actions, which were consolidated, are purportedly brought on behalf of purchasers of common stock of SeeBeyond Technology Corporation during various periods. The actions generally allege that during the class periods, defendants made false statements about SeeBeyond's operating results and business, while concealing material information. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages. On December 16, 2002, an amended consolidated complaint was filed on behalf of purchasers of the Company's common stock between December 10, 2001 and May 7, 2002. The Company believes these lawsuits are without merit and intends to defend against them vigorously.
Beginning on September 5, 2002, several derivative lawsuits were filed by purported Company shareholders in the Superior Court of California for the County of Los Angeles. The derivative complaints name certain of the Company's present and former officers and directors as defendants. The Company has also been named as a nominal defendant in the complaints. The principal allegation of the complaints is the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company through the dissemination of allegedly misleading and inaccurate information and other allegations.
The Company is also party to claims and suits brought against it in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, such claims should not have any material adverse effect upon the results of operation, cash flows or the financial position of the Company.

In November 2002, the Company repurchased 1,200,000 shares of its common stock at an average price of $2.30 per share.
Warrant Grants
In October 1999, the Company issued a warrant to a lending institution (the "Lender Warrant") to purchase 262,500 shares of common stock at $1.89 per share. The Lender Warrant vested immediately on the date of the grant. The fair market value of the Lender Warrant was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model, assuming a risk free interest rate of 5.3% and a volatility factor of 0.6, resulting in an estimated fair value at the time of the grant of $4.00 per common share. In January 2001, the lending institution holding the Lender Warrant exercised the entire warrant and converted its right to purchase 262,500 shares of common stock at $1.89 per share into 225,579 shares of common stock.
In November 1999, the Company issued a warrant to a strategic alliance partner (the "1999 Alliance Warrant") to purchase up to 1,200,000 shares of common stock at $5.33 per share. The 1999 Alliance Warrant vested contingently upon the achievement of various milestones, which included the creation of certain product marketing offerings and new customer introductions. The fair value of the 1999 Alliance Warrant was determine using the Black-Scholes pricing model, assuming a risk free interest rate of 5.3% and a volatility factor of 0.6, resulting in a fair value at the time of the grant of $5.33 per share. The warrant was fully vested as of December 31, 2001 and was exercised and converted into 666,537 shares of common stock of the Company in January 2002.
In January 2000, the Company issued a warrant (the "January 2000 Alliance Warrant") to a strategic alliance partner to purchase up to 1,200,000 shares of common stock at $6.67 per share. The January 2000 Alliance Warrant vested contingently upon the achievement of certain milestones, primarily the generation of license revenue for the Company. The fair value of the January 2000 Alliance Warrant was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model, assuming a risk free interest rate of 5.3%, a volatility factor of 0.6 and an estimated fair value at the time of grant of $9.25 per common share. In December 2001, the Company extended the duration of the January 2000 Alliance Warrant agreement. As a result, the Company remeasured the value of the warrant and related expense, which is reflected in the results of operations for 2001. The warrant was fully vested and exercisable as of December 31, 2001 and expired on July 31, 2002 without being exercised.
57
In March 2000, the Company issued a warrant (the "March 2000 Alliance Warrant") to another strategic alliance partner to purchase up to 1,200,000 shares of common stock at $14.00 per share. The March 2000 Alliance Warrant vests contingently upon the achievement of certain milestones, primarily the creation of e*Gate software market offerings and the generation of license revenue for the Company through the sale of licenses of our software products to third parties, and expires on September 22, 2002. The fair value of the March 2000 Alliance Warrant was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model, assuming a risk free interest rate of 5.3%, a volatility factor of 0.6 and an estimated fair value at the time of grant of $11.08 per common share. In March 2002 the warrant agreement was cancelled and all rights under the warrant agreement, including all fully vested shares, were forfeited resulting in a decrease in additional paid-in capital and deferred stock compensation of $460,000, with no net impact on total stockholders' equity.
In March 2001, the Company entered into a four-year co-marketing agreement with a strategic marketing partner and issued a warrant to purchase 625,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $11.34 per share. The warrant expires in March 2006 and 175,000 shares under the warrant were exercisable immediately. The remaining 450,000 shares subject to the warrant are performance based and shall vest and become exercisable over the 36-month period following the issuance of the warrant provided the warrant holder has achieved various milestones related to providing certain sales and marketing support. The immediately exercisable portion of the warrant was valued as of the date of issuance and was charged against revenues generated from a concurrent license sale to this strategic marketing partner. The vesting of the remaining shares subject to the warrant is not contingent upon future sales of licenses of our products to the marketing partner. The unvested portion of the warrant was valued as of the date of issuance and is being amortized as a charge to operating expense over the term of the co-marketing agreement. The value of the unvested portion of the warrant will be adjusted in each reporting period based on changes in the fair value of the warrants until such date as the warrants are fully vested. In connection with the December 2001 private placement of 2,574,298 shares of the Company's common stock, the exercise price of this warrant was adjusted to $5.83 per share, pursuant to the original agreement. Accordingly, the fair value of the warrant and related warrant expense was remeasured using the new exercise price. For the years ending December 31, 2002, adjustments in the fair value of the warrants resulted in a net decrease in additional paid-in capital and deferred compensation of $1.5 million, with no impact on total stockholders' equity. As of December 31, 2002, 450,000 shares subject to the warrant were fully vested.
In October 2001, the Company issued a warrant (the "Bank Warrant") to a bank to purchase up to 25,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.39 per share and vested immediately. The fair value of the warrant was recorded as a financing cost and is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the bank agreement. The warrant expires in October 2004 and is fully vested and exercisable as of December 31, 2002.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In February 2000, the Board of Directors approved the Company's 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"). The ESPP became effective on April 28, 2000. A total of 2,250,000 shares of common stock were initially available for issuance under the ESPP. The number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the ESPP will be increased on the first day of each calendar year during the term of the ESPP to 2,250,000 shares of common stock.
The ESPP, which is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the IRS Code, will be implemented by a series of overlapping offering periods of 24 months duration, with new offering periods, other than the first offering period, commencing on or about May 16 and November 16 of each year. Each offering period will consist of four consecutive purchase periods of approximately six months duration, and at the end of each offering period, an automatic purchase will be made for participants.
58
Participants generally may not purchase more than 1,500 shares in any calendar year or stock having a value measured at the beginning of the offering period greater than $25,000 in any calendar year.
The purchase price per share will be 85% of the lower of (1) the fair market value of our common stock on the purchase date and (2) the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the last trading day before the offering date. Under this program, approximately 412,000, 430,000 and 307,000 shares were issued during 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Option Plan
In July 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), which replaced the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "1997 Plan") as to future grants. Under the Plan, stock options may be granted to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. At December 31, 2002, there were options to purchase 2,673,036 shares of common stock that were available for grant under the Plan. Options previously granted that are forfeited will be added to options available for grant under the Plan. The Stock Plan currently provides for automatic annual increases on January 1st of each year beginning January 1, 2001 equal to the lesser of:
The exercise price of options granted under the Plan may not be less than fair market value of the common stock at the time of grant with respect to incentive stock options and not less than 85% of the fair market value with respect to nonstatutory options. Options granted under the Plan carry a maximum term of 10 years from the date of grant and typically vest and become exercisable at the rate of at least 25% per year from the date of grant.
Activity of the Plan for the last three years was as follows:

Stock Option Exchange Program
In November 2002, the Company's Board of Directors approved a voluntary stock option exchange program for some of the Company's employees. Under the program, employees had the opportunity to cancel certain outstanding stock options granted to them under the Plan through November 17, 2002 in exchange for a new option grant at a future date for a number of shares ranging from one new option for every one exchanged option to one new option for every five exchanged options, depending on the exercise price of the option being exchanged. The new option grants will vest 50% of the shares on June 19, 2004 with an additional 4.166% of the shares subject to the new option vesting on each 19th day of each month following June 19, 2004. The program terminated on December 17, 2002. A total of 891,600 options were cancelled in connection with the exchange and we expect to issue approximately 409,000 new options on June 19, 2003. The exercise price of the new options will be based on the closing price of the Company's stock on June 19, 2003.

As of December 31, 2002, the Company had reserved the following shares of authorized but unissued common stock for future issuance:
Stock option plans | 22,283,657 | |

On January 1, 2003, an additional 4,126,912 and 412,458 shares were made available for issuance under the Company's stock option plan and stock purchase plan, respectively.
Deferred Stock-based Compensation
When the exercise price of an employee stock option is less than the estimated fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant, deferred compensation is recognized and amortized to expense in accordance with the aggregation methodology prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 28 over the vesting period of the individual option grants which is generally four years.
61
During the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, in connection with the grant of certain stock options, the Company recorded total deferred stock-based compensation of approximately $8.5 million, representing the difference between the exercise price of the option and the estimated fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant.
