Overview and Industry Background

        We develop, market, and support enterprise business portal applications that enable companies to unify their e-business infrastructure and conduct both interactions and transactions with employees, partners, and customers through a personalized self-service model that increases revenues, reduces costs, and improves productivity.

        As of December 31, 2002, more than 1,200 companies and government entities around the globe used our applications to facilitate their portal-based commerce and information access initiatives.

        BroadVision was founded in 1993 and has been a publicly traded corporation since 1996. BroadVision pioneered web-based e-commerce and was among the first to offer pre-integrated, packaged applications to power enterprise business portals.

        General information about us can be found at www.broadvision.com under the "Company" link. Our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, as well as any amendments or exhibits to those reports, are available free of charge through our website as soon as reasonably practicable after we file them with, or furnish them to, the SEC.

The BroadVision Solution

        BroadVision's enterprise business portal applications allow organizations to unify and extend their key business applications, information, and business processes by taking advantage of the power of the web and new wireless and mobile devices to allow customers, partners, and employees to do business on their own terms, in a personalized and collaborative way. BroadVision solutions allow multiple constituents to serve themselves from anywhere, at anytime, through any web device. BroadVision enterprise portal applications enable organizations to create business value by transforming the way they do business—moving business interactions and transactions from a manual, human-assisted paradigm to an automated, personalized self-service model that enhances growth, reduces costs and improves productivity.

        Our products enable companies to organize dynamic profiles of web and wireless users from volunteered data and observed behavior, deliver personalized content and execute transactions securely. Business managers are able to modify business rules and content in real time, offering a personalized experience to each visitor. Because of our commitment to open standards and open architecture, BroadVision applications integrate with our customers' existing systems and expand as our customers' needs and businesses grow.

        Supporting this application infrastructure, as of December 31, 2002, are more than 100 partner firms around the world who are working to ensure our joint customers' success through complementary technology, applications, tools and services offerings that extend and enhance BroadVision customers' implementations.

        We believe our products improve our customers' revenue opportunities by enabling them to establish more effective and efficient one-to-one relationships with their customers and business partners. Web and wireless users are engaged by highly personalized real-time interactions, able to transact business securely and encouraged to remain online and make return visits. Our applications also improve the cost-effectiveness of one-to-one relationship management by enabling non-technical managers to modify business rules and content in real time and by helping to reduce the cost of customer acquisition and retention, business development, technical support and employee workplace initiatives. Because we provide pre-integrated, packaged solutions, time to deployment is shorter and customers are able to manage and maintain their web and wireless applications in a cost-effective manner.

BroadVision Business Strategies

        Our objective is to be the leading provider of enterprise portal applications. To achieve this objective, we have adopted the following key strategies:

        Extend and Expand our Product Portfolio.    To enable our customers to effectively manage all of their key commerce and information access initiatives, we have focused our product development and marketing efforts in the following areas:

        Develop Targeted Application Solutions.    We were among the first companies to introduce packaged web-based applications for electronic commerce, financial services and knowledge management. We are extending our best of breed enterprise portal applications with new applications designed for specific vertical industries. These applications are being developed in conjunction with industry leaders, system integration firms and key technology vendors.

        Enhance our Service and Support Infrastructure to Help Customers Maximize Their Return on Investment.    BroadVision Global Services (BVGS) provides a broad range of consulting, training and technical support services for all of our products. This organization provides business application and technical expertise, along with extensive product knowledge, to complement our products and provide solutions that meet customer business requirements. By using BVGS, customers and business partners are able to customize their application solutions to maximize the benefits of our enterprise self-service model.

        We are committed to extending the service offerings and the resources available to our customers and have implemented programs such as an online BroadVision University, a train-the-trainer program and third-party educational centers to extend the breadth and depth of our service offerings. We have also tiered our technical support offerings to provide standard, enterprise and personalized support programs for our customers.

        Leverage Alliances with Key Business Partners.    We partner with leading systems integrators, technology partners, value-added resellers (VARs), application service providers (ASPs), software partners and hardware platform partners. These alliances provide additional sales and marketing channels for our products, enable us to more rapidly incorporate additional functions and technologies into our products and facilitate the successful deployment of customer applications.

        To accelerate adoption of our products, we have developed the BroadVision Partner Program. This program is a comprehensive, structured partnership relationship designed to drive effective alliances and ensure success by jointly identifying and pursuing specific business objectives. The BroadVision Partner Program operates within a framework of proactive business planning, revenue targeting, structured sales enablement and enhanced BroadVision training as well as marketing and sales engineering support. The partner program is intended to help our partners successfully develop, promote, and sell their services and solutions in close coordination with our sales engineering, channel and partner marketing and professional services teams.

        Support Diverse Customer Business Models.    We are committed to offering our customers maximum flexibility in the deployment of our applications. Customers can choose to deploy our applications using their own in-house technical resources, engaging with BVGS, working with a BroadVision-trained and certified systems integrator or distribution partner, or applying a combination of our resources and those of a partner to assist with implementation.

        The strategies described above involve substantial risks. We may be unable to implement our strategies and these strategies, even if implemented, may not lead to successful achievement of our objective. If we are unable to implement our strategies effectively, our business may be adversely affected.

BroadVision Portal Platform

Open Standards-Based Architecture

        BroadVision solutions are built on object-oriented application code written in J2EE programming environments, including Java and JavaScript, and where appropriate C++, which allows developers and system integrators to use, integrate, modify, adapt or extend the applications with minimal impact on other areas to create a rapidly customized product that meets specific business requirements.

        Support for the CORBA standard for object-oriented computing enables high-volume performance, flexible application deployment and easy integration with third-party or legacy applications. Our applications fully support XML, which is the emerging standard for managing and exchanging data between e-business systems as well as for re-purposing and sending information to wireless devices.

7



        In addition, we use other widely accepted standards in developing our products, including Web Services, Structured Query Language (SQL) for accessing relational database management systems; Common Gateway Interface (CGI) and Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) for web access; Netscape Application Programming Interface (NAPI) for access to Netscape's web servers; Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for secure transmissions over networks; and the RC2 and MD5 encryption algorithms supplied by RSA.

        Our applications can be operated in conjunction with relational database management systems provided by IBM Corporation, Informix, Microsoft, Oracle and Sybase. Supported application servers include WebLogic, WebSphere and SunOne.

Key Capabilities of BroadVision's Solutions

        We have designed all BroadVision portal applications for use in mission-critical, high-performance environments by companies with complex architecture, and demanding deployment and maintenance requirements. Some of the key capabilities of BroadVision applications include:

Other Products

        In addition to our products, we have entered into agreements that enable us to resell selected third-party software products from WebMethods, IONA Technologies, FAST, Savvion and IBM Corporation. These are sublicensed to end users and either incorporated in or sold as options to our products.

Product Development

        We believe that our future success will depend in large part on our ability to enhance and extend the BroadVision enterprise portal application suite: portal applications, portal framework and associated platform technologies; maintain technological leadership; and satisfy an evolving range of customer requirements for large-scale interactive online relationship management applications.

        Our product development organization is responsible for developing product architecture and core technology, product testing, quality assurance, writing product user documentation and expanding the ability of BroadVision products to operate with the leading hardware platforms, operating systems, database management systems and key electronic commerce transaction processing standards.

        Since inception, we have made substantial investments in product development and related activities. Certain technologies have been acquired and integrated into BroadVision products through licensing arrangements.

        As of December 31, 2002, we had 115 employees in our product development organization. Our research and development expenses were $41.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2002, $78.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2001 and $51.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2000.

        To date, we have not capitalized any software development costs as products are made available for general release relatively concurrently with the establishment of technological feasibility. We expect to continue to devote substantial resources to our product development activities.

Strategic Alliances

Accordingly, we have assembled a team of best-of-breed partners with the skills, services and value-added products necessary to design, deploy and manage a global e-business. Working together, we and our partners can help organizations go live quickly with dynamic, interactive applications.

Platform Partners

        Our platform partners are industry-leading firms that possess significant market share and technology leadership. Their products include hardware, operating systems, network products and services and database systems. With BroadVision, they integrate their products with our suite of enterprise business portal applications and commit globally to develop joint technology, marketing and selling programs with BroadVision.

        IBM:    BroadVision and IBM formed a partnership in September 2000 to integrate our full suite of BroadVision applications on IBM's RS/6000 servers in conjunction with IBM's DB2 data management software. The resulting application platform provides customers with more choices for building and deploying their e-business web sites. BroadVision and IBM will work to integrate the solutions with IBM WebSphere for Enterprise Java Beans integration with back-end systems. In addition, IBM Global Services has created a practice of service professionals around the world to help customers implement BroadVision applications. In December 2001, IBM and BroadVision entered into an agreement whereby we could resell IBM's WebSphere Application Server product as a component of BroadVision solutions.

        NCR Corporation:    BroadVision and NCR, a leader in data warehousing and automatic teller machine (ATM) products, announced a worldwide agreement in November 2000 that enables companies to drive business growth through personalized communications to consumers and businesses. Specifically, NCR and BroadVision are developing software adapters between BroadVision enterprise

10



business portal applications and NCR's world-class Teradata database, customer relationship management solutions and ATMs.

        Sun Microsystems:    BroadVision and Sun Microsystems formed an alliance in March 2000 that provides for joint engineering, marketing and sales initiatives to develop, promote and sell next-generation e-commerce applications based on Sun's premier Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) technology.

System Integrators and Consulting Partners

        Our system integrators and consulting partners help customers plan and implement their enterprise business portal strategies—including integration with front- and back-office systems. They have developed their own industry-leading technologies and best practices that complement our applications.

Application Service Providers

        Our application service provider partners develop, host and support value-added application products based on our technology. These application products typically extend our technology into new areas or leverage our applications by adding industry-specific functionality, providing targeted solutions that address specific market needs.

Technology Partners

        Additionally, we have developed key technology partnerships with leading web- and wireless-focused companies in areas complementary to our solutions, such as data analysis and reporting, enterprise application integration, enterprise web management, call center management, content management, voice recognition, payment processing, auctioning and XML. These technology partnerships enhance our ability to base our products on industry standards and to take advantage of current and emerging technologies. These alliances include companies such as SeeBeyond and WebMethods.

Customers and Markets

        As of December 31, 2002, we had licensed our products to over 1,200 end-user customers and partners. During the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, no customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues.

        Our primary target customers are Global 2000 organizations that are at the forefront of building innovative enterprise business portals to increase revenues, improve productivity and reduce operational costs.

        A sample listing of our customers by industry follows:

Sales and Marketing

        We market our products primarily through a direct sales organization with operations in North America, Europe, and Asia/Pacific. On December 31, 2002, our direct sales organization included 121 sales representatives, managers and sales support.

        We have sales offices located throughout the world to support the sales and marketing of our products. In support of the Americas sales and marketing organizations, offices are located in the United States in California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Texas, Virginia and Washington; in Canada, in Ontario and Vancouver, British Columbia.

        Sales and marketing offices for our Europe region are located in Austria, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

        Our sales and marketing offices in the Asia Pacific/Japan/India/Middle East region are located in India, Japan, the People's Republic of China, including Hong Kong, the Republic of China (Taiwan) and Singapore.

        Initial sales activities typically involve discussion and review of the potential business value associated with the implementation of a BroadVision solution, a demonstration of our enterprise business portal capabilities at the prospect's site, followed by one or more detailed technical reviews, often presented at our headquarters. The sales process usually involves collaboration with the prospective customer in order to specify the scope of the application. Our global services organization helps customers to design, and then develop and deploy, their applications.

        As of December 31, 2002, 14 employees were engaged in a variety of marketing activities, including preparing marketing research, product planning and collateral marketing materials, managing press coverage and other public relations, identifying potential customers, attending trade shows, seminars and conferences, establishing and maintaining close relationships with recognized industry analysts and maintaining our website.

        Our marketing efforts are targeted at:

12


Competition

        If we fail to compete successfully with current or future competitors, we may lose market share. The market for enterprise portal applications is rapidly evolving and intensely competitive. Our customers' requirements and the technology available to satisfy those requirements will continually change. We expect competition in this market to persist and increase in the future. Our primary competition currently includes:

        The principal competitive factors affecting the market for our products are:

        Many of these competitors and other current and future competitors have longer operating histories and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than BroadVision. As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities, technologies and customer requirements. Many of these companies can use their greater name recognition and more extensive customer base to gain market share at our expense. Competitors may be able to undertake more extensive promotional activities, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and offer more attractive terms to purchasers. Current and potential competitors may bundle their products to discourage users from purchasing our products. In addition, competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to enhance their products. Accordingly, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share. Competitive pressures may make it difficult for us to acquire and retain customers and may require us to reduce the price of our products. We may be unable to compete successfully with current or new competitors.

13



Intellectual Property and Other Proprietary Rights

        Our success and ability to compete are dependent to a significant degree on our proprietary technology. Although we hold a U.S patent, issued in January 1998, on elements of the BroadVision One-To-One Enterprise product and a U.S. patent acquired as part of the Interleaf acquisition on the elements of the extensible electronic document processing system for creating new classes of active documents, these patents may not provide an adequate level of intellectual property protection. In addition, litigation like the lawsuit we filed against Art Technology Group, which was settled in February 2000, may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. We cannot guarantee that infringement or other claims will not be asserted or prosecuted against us in the future, whether resulting from our intellectual property or licenses from third parties. Claims or litigation, whether successful or unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and diversions of resources, either of which could harm our business.

        We also rely on copyright, trademark, service mark, trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary rights in products and services. We have registered "BroadVision" and "BroadVision One-To-One" as trademarks in the United States and in other countries. It is possible that our competitors or other companies will adopt product names similar to these trademarks, impeding our ability to build brand identity and possibly confusing customers.

        As a matter of company policy, we enter into confidentiality and assignment agreements with our employees, consultants and vendors. We also control access to and distribution of our software, documents and other proprietary information. Notwithstanding these precautions, it may be possible for an unauthorized third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our software or other proprietary information or to develop similar software independently. Policing unauthorized use of our products will be difficult, particularly because the global nature of the Internet makes it difficult to control the ultimate destination or security of software and other transmitted data. The laws of other countries may afford us little or no effective protection of our intellectual property.

Reverse Stock Split

        On July 24, 2002, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a one-for-nine reverse split of our common stock. The reverse split was effective as of 8:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on July 29, 2002. Each nine shares of outstanding common stock of the Company automatically converted into one share of common stock. Our common stock began trading on a post-split basis at the opening of trading on the Nasdaq National Market on July 30, 2002. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related financial information contained herein have been retroactively restated to give effect to the July 2002 stock split.

Employees

        As of December 31, 2002, we employed a total of 449 full-time employees, of whom 285 are based in North America and South America, 131 in Europe and 33 in Asia. Of these full-time employees, 135 are in sales and marketing, 115 are in product development, 170 are in global services and client support, and 29 are in finance, administration and operations.

        We believe that our future success depends on attracting and retaining highly skilled personnel. We may be unable to attract and retain high-caliber employees. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining unit. We have never experienced a work stoppage and consider our employee relations to be good.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        In April 2001, we filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission reporting that several purported class action lawsuits had been filed against us and certain of our officers and directors. In each of the lawsuits, the plaintiffs sought to assert claims on behalf of a class of all persons who purchased securities of BroadVision between January 26, 2001 and April 2, 2001. The complaints alleged that BroadVision and the individual defendants violated federal securities laws in connection with our reporting of financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2000. The lawsuits were consolidated into a single action. On November 5, 2001, BroadVision and the individual defendants filed motions to dismiss the consolidated complaint. On February 22, 2002, the Court granted these motions, dismissed the consolidated complaint without prejudice and ordered the lead

15



plaintiff to file an amended complaint within 30 days. On March 25, 2002, the plaintiff filed its Second Amended Consolidated Complaint, which added claims for breach of fiduciary duty and named members of our board of directors as additional defendants. All defendants filed motions to dismiss the Second Amended Consolidated Complaint on May 10, 2002. The hearing on the defendant's motion to dismiss was heard on August 30, 2002. On September 11, 2002, the Court (1) dismissed with prejudice the claims that the defendants violated federal securities laws, on the basis that the complaint failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted, and (2) dismissed without prejudice the claims for breach of fiduciary duty, on the basis that the claims were made under state law and, in the absence of any remaining federal law claims, the Court would decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction. We are not aware of plaintiffs filing an appeal of the Court's September 11, 2002 decision or filing another complaint in any other court. We believe that the action was without merit and will continue to defend ourselves vigorously should plaintiffs continue to pursue any of these claims.

        On June 7, 2001, Verity, Inc. filed suit against us alleging copyright infringement, breach of contract, unfair competition and other claims. We have answered the complaint denying all allegations and are defending ourselves vigorously. The trial date is set for July 14, 2003 in San Jose, California, in the United States District Court, Northern District, San Jose Division. We are unable to estimate the amount or range of any potential loss from this matter.

        On July 18, 2002, Avalon Partners, Inc., doing business as Cresa Partners, filed a suit against us in the Superior Court of the State of California, San Mateo County, claiming broker commissions related to our termination and restructuring of certain facilities leases associated with our restructuring plans taken during the second quarter of 2002. The matter was settled by way of a settlement agreement executed by both parties in March 2003 and the parties expect the lawsuit to be dismissed in the second quarter of fiscal 2003.

        We are also subject to various other claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Although management currently believes that the outcome of other outstanding legal proceedings, claims and litigation involving us will not have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations or financial condition, litigation is inherently uncertain, and there can be no assurance that existing or future litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

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

Overview

        We develop, market and support enterprise portal applications that enable companies to unify their e-business infrastructure and conduct both interactions and transactions with employees, partners, and customers through a personalized self-service model that increases revenues, reduces costs, and improves productivity. As of December 31, 2002, more than 1,200 companies and government entities around the globe use our applications to facilitate their portal-based commerce and information access initiatives.

        BroadVision was founded in 1993 and has been a publicly traded corporation since 1996. BroadVision pioneered web-based e-commerce and was among the first to offer pre-integrated, packaged applications to power enterprise business portals.

        BroadVision's enterprise portal applications allow organizations to unify and extend their key business applications, information, and business processes by taking advantage of the power of the web and new wireless and mobile devices to allow customers, partners, and employees to do business on their own terms, in a personalized and collaborative way. BroadVision solutions allow multiple constituents to serve themselves from anywhere, at anytime, through any web. BroadVision enterprise portal applications enable organizations to create business value by transforming the way they do business; moving business interactions and transactions from a manual, human-assisted paradigm to an automated, personalized self-service model that enhances growth, reduces costs and improves productivity.

        We believe our products improve our customers' revenue opportunities by enabling them to establish more effective and efficient one-to-one relationships with their customers and business partners. Web and wireless users are engaged by highly personalized real-time interactions, able to transact business securely and encouraged to remain online and make return visits. Our applications also improve the cost-effectiveness of one-to-one relationship management by enabling non-technical managers to modify business rules and content in real time and by helping to reduce the cost of customer acquisition and retention, business development, technical support and employee workplace initiatives. Because we provide pre-integrated, packaged solutions, time to deployment is shorter and customers are able to manage and maintain their web and wireless applications in a cost-effective manner. Because of our commitment to open standards and open architecture, BroadVision applications integrate with our customers' existing systems and expand as our customers' needs and businesses grow.

        Supporting this application infrastructure, as of December 31, 2002, are more than 100 partner firms around the world who are working to ensure our joint customers' success through complementary technology, applications, tools and services offerings that extend and enhance BroadVision customers' implementations.

        We market our products and services worldwide through a direct sales force and independent distributors, value-added resellers (VARs) and application service providers (ASPs). In addition, our sales are promoted through independent professional consulting organizations, known as systems integrators. We have operations in North America, Europe, and Asia/Pacific.

        BroadVision Global Services (BVGS) organization provides a full spectrum of global services to help ensure success for businesses, including strategic services, implementation services, migration services and ongoing training and maintenance.

Recent Events

        We have experienced a general downturn in the economy, our industry and our business since the beginning of 2001. This downturn is likely to continue in the future and has had and could continue to have an impact on our future financial results. As discussed in Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we have recorded significant restructuring charges in connection with our reduction in workforce and abandonment of certain operating facilities as part of our program to restructure our operations and related facilities initiated in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. A pre-tax charge of $153.3 million was recorded during fiscal 2001 and $110.4 million was recorded during fiscal 2002 to provide for these actions and other related items. Costs for the abandoned facilities were estimated to include the impairment of assets, remaining lease liabilities and brokerage fees partially offset by estimated sublease income. Estimates related to sublease costs and income are based on assumptions regarding the period required to locate and contract with suitable sublessees and sublease rates which were based upon market trend information analyses. Adjustments to the restructuring reserve will be made in future periods, if necessary, based upon the then current actual events and circumstances.

        On July 18, 2002, Avalon Partners, Inc., doing business as Cresa Partners, filed a suit against us in the Superior Court of the State of California, San Mateo County, claiming broker commissions related to our termination and restructuring of certain facilities leases associated with our restructuring plans taken during the second quarter of 2002. The matter was settled by way of a settlement agreement executed by both parties in March 2003 and the parties expect the lawsuit to be dismissed in the second quarter of fiscal 2003.

        On May 9, 2002, the Company and Pacific Shores Development LLC ("PacShores") entered into (i) the First Amendment to Lease (Lease Termination and Mutual General Release Agreement), made effective as of April 29, 2002 (the "Buildings 4 and 5 Termination Agreement") and (ii) the First Amendment to Lease made effective as of April 29, 2002 (the "Building 6 Amendment"). Under the Buildings 4 and 5 Termination Agreement, the Triple Net Building Lease dated April 12, 2000 between PacShores, as Lessor, and the Company, as Lessee, for Premises at Pacific Shores Center, Building 4, Redwood City, California and the Triple Net Building Lease dated February 16, 2000 between PacShores, as Lessor, and the Company, as Lessee, for Premises at Pacific Shores Center, Building 5, Redwood City, California, were terminated. In conjunction with the termination, PacShores released all security deposits held by it relating to those premises and we paid to PacShores a total of $45.0 million as a termination fee (the "Termination Fee"). Under the Building 6 Amendment, the parties released each other from all claims and we agreed to provide an additional $3.5 million as security deposit in the form of letters of credit. This letter of credit is included as restricted cash and investments in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2002. We paid the Termination Fee in full during the second quarter of 2002 by payment of approximately $20.0 million from existing cash and investments and by drawing down approximately $25.0 million from our line of credit. The $25.0 million line of credit is due in February 2004.

        On April 8, 2002, we filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission to report that we had received notice from our independent public accountant, Arthur Andersen LLP, of its resignation as our auditor as a result of our plans to change independent public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002 due to an anticipated future non-audit business relationship between the two companies.

        On May 13, 2002, we filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission to report our selection of our independent public accountants, BDO Seidman, LLP, as auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002.

        During the first quarter of 2002 we engaged a third party firm to conduct a physical inventory of our computer hardware assets located in North America. We conducted an internal physical inventory

20



on computer hardware assets located outside of North America. The objective of the physical inventory was to verify the amount and location of our computer hardware. As a result of the findings of the physical inventory and related reconciliation with our asset records, we recorded an asset impairment charge of approximately $2.3 million net book value related to computer hardware. During the third quarter of 2002, we conducted an additional review of remaining computer and communication-related assets not reviewed during the first quarter inventory and recorded an asset impairment charge of $853,000 as a result of the findings of our inventory and related reconciliation with our asset records.

Critical Accounting Policies

        BroadVision management's 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 of America. In preparing these financial statements, we are required to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to doubtful accounts, product returns, investments, goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes and restructuring, as well as contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates using different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

        Overview—Our revenues are derived from fees for licenses of our software products, maintenance, consulting services and customer training. We generally charge fees for licenses of our software products either based on the number of persons registered to use the product or based on the number of CPUs on which the product is installed. Licenses for software whereby fees charged are based upon the number of persons registered to use the product are differentiated between licenses for development use and licenses for use in deployment of the customer's website. Licenses for software whereby fees charged are on a per-CPU basis do not differentiate between development and deployment usage. Our revenue recognition policies are in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended; SOP No. 98-9, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions and the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.

        Software License Revenue—We license our products through our direct sales force and indirectly through resellers. In general, software license revenues are recognized when a non-cancelable license agreement has been signed and the customer acknowledges an unconditional obligation to pay, the software product has been delivered, there are no uncertainties surrounding product acceptance, the fees are fixed and determinable and collection is considered probable. Delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer, which generally occurs when media containing the licensed programs is provided to a common carrier. In case of electronic delivery, delivery occurs when the customer is given access to the licensed programs. If collectibility is not considered probable, revenue is recognized when the fee is collected. Subscription-based license revenues are recognized ratably over the subscription period. We enter into reseller arrangements that typically provide for sublicense fees payable to us based upon a percentage of list price. We do not grant our resellers the right of return.

        We recognize revenue using the residual method pursuant to the requirements of SOP No. 97-2, as amended by SOP No. 98-9. Revenues recognized from multiple-element software arrangements are

21



allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the fair values of the elements, such as licenses for software products, maintenance, consulting services or customer training. The determination of fair value is based on objective evidence, which is specific to us. We limit our assessment of objective evidence for each element to either the price charged when the same element is sold separately or the price established by management having the relevant authority to do so, for an element not yet sold separately. If evidence of fair value of all undelivered elements exists but evidence does not exist for one or more delivered elements, then revenue is recognized under the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue.

        We record unearned revenue for software arrangements when cash has been received from the customer and the arrangement does not qualify for revenue recognition under our revenue recognition policy. We record accounts receivable for software arrangements when the arrangement qualifies for revenue recognition but cash or other consideration has not been received from the customer.

        Services Revenue—Consulting services revenues and customer training revenues are recognized as such services are performed. Maintenance revenues, which include revenues bundled with software license agreements that entitle the customers to technical support and future unspecified enhancements to our products, are deferred and recognized ratably over the related agreement period, generally twelve months. Our professional services which consist of consulting, maintenance and training are delivered through BVGS. Services that we provide are not essential to the functionality of our software. This group provides consulting services, manages projects and client relationships, manages the needs of our partner community, provides training-related services to employees, customers and partners, and also provides software maintenance services, including technical support, to our customers and partners. We record reimbursement by our customers for out-of-pocket expenses as a component of services revenue.

Allowances and Reserves

        Occasionally, our customers experience financial difficulty after we record the sale but before we are paid. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. Our normal payment terms are 30 to 90 days from invoice date. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. We record estimated reductions to revenue for potential returns of products by our customers. If market conditions were to decline, we may experience larger volumes of returns resulting in an incremental reduction of revenue at the time the return occurs.

Impairment Assessments

        As discussed in Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," on January 1, 2002. This standard requires that goodwill no longer be amortized, and instead, be tested for impairment on a periodic basis.

        Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, we are required to test goodwill for impairment upon adoption and annually or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. While there was no accounting charge to record upon adoption, at September 30, 2002, we concluded that, based on the existence of impairment indicators, including a decline in our market value, we would be required to test goodwill for impairment. SFAS No. 142 provides for a two-stage approach to determining whether and by how much goodwill has been impaired. Since we have only one reporting unit for purposes of applying SFAS No. 142, the first stage requires a comparison of the fair value of the Company to its net book value. If the fair value is greater, then no impairment is deemed to have

22



occurred. If the fair value is less, then the second stage must be completed to determine the amount, if any, of actual impairment. We completed the first stage and determined that our fair value at September 30, 2002 exceeded our net book value on that date, and as a result, no impairment of goodwill was recorded in the consolidated financial statements. We obtained an independent appraisal of fair value to support our conclusion. We also determined that our fair value exceeded our net book value as of December 31, 2002 and therefore, no additional impairment was warranted.

        The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is highly subjective and requires significant judgment. In estimating our fair value, we made estimates and judgments about future revenues and cash flows. Our forecasts were based on assumptions that are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage our business. Changes in these estimates could change our conclusion regarding impairment of goodwill and potentially result in a non-cash goodwill impairment charge, for all or a portion of the goodwill balance at December 31, 2002. For long-lived assets, accounting standards dictate that assets become impaired when the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by them are less than their carrying amounts. When that occurs, the affected assets are written down to their estimated fair value.

Deferred Tax Assets

        We analyze our deferred tax assets with regard to potential realization. We have established a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets to the extent that we determined that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized based upon the uncertainty of their realization. We have considered estimated future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the amount of the valuation allowance. Based upon this analysis, we recorded a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets during the three months ended June 30, 2002, which resulted in a charge of $6.3 million.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

        We apply Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion Number 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations when accounting for our stock option and stock purchase plans. In accordance with APB No. 25, we apply the intrinsic value method in accounting for employee stock options. Accordingly, we generally recognize no compensation expense with respect to stock-based awards to employees.

        During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recorded compensation expense of $846,000. This charge was recorded as a result of granting terminated employees continued vesting of their stock options for a period beyond their actual termination date. The compensation charge was calculated using the Black-Scholes model. $739,000 of the charge is recorded in general and administrative expense and the remaining $107,000 is included in restructuring charge as it related to employees terminated under the Company's restructuring plan.

        We have determined pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share as if we had accounted for employee stock options under the fair value method as required by SFAS Number 123, Accounting for Stock Compensation. The fair value of these stock-based awards to employees was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Please see Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Restructuring

        Our Restructuring charges are comprised primarily of: (i) severance and benefits termination costs related to the reduction of our workforce; (ii) lease termination costs and/or costs associated with permanently vacating our facilities; and (iii) impairment costs related to certain long-lived assets abandoned. We account for each of these costs in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 100, Restructuring and Impairment Charges

        We account for severance and benefits termination costs in accordance with EITF Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring) (EITF 94-3). Accordingly, we record the liability related to these termination costs when the following conditions have been met: (i) management with the appropriate level of authority approves a termination plan that commits us to such plan and establishes the benefits the employees will receive upon termination; (ii) the benefit arrangement is communicated to the employees in sufficient detail to enable the employees to determine the termination benefits; (iii) the plan specifically identifies the number of employees to be terminated, their locations and their job classifications; and (iv) the period of time to implement the plan does not indicate changes to the plan are likely. The termination costs recorded by us are not associated with nor do they benefit continuing activities.

        We account for the costs associated with lease termination and/or abandonment in accordance with EITF 88-10. Accordingly, we record the costs associated with lease termination and/or abandonment when the leased property has no substantive future use or benefit to us. Under EITF 88-10, we record the liability associated with lease termination and/or abandonment as the sum of the total remaining lease costs and related exit costs, less probable sublease income. We account for costs related to long-lived assets abandoned in accordance with SFAS 144 and, accordingly, charges to expense the net carrying value of the long-lived assets when we cease to use the assets.

        Inherent in the estimation of the costs related to our Restructuring efforts are assessments related to the most likely expected outcome of the significant actions to accomplish the Restructuring. In determining the charge related to the Restructuring, the majority of estimates made by management related to the charge for excess facilities. In determining the charge for excess facilities, we were required to estimate future sublease income, future net operating expenses of the facilities, and brokerage commissions, among other expenses. The most significant of these estimates related to the timing and extent of future sublease income in which to reduce our lease obligations. Specifically, in

24



determining the Restructuring obligations related to facilities as of December 31, 2002, we reduced our lease obligations by estimated sublease income of $28.8 million. We based our estimates of sublease income, in part, on the opinions of independent real estate experts, current market conditions and rental rates, an assessment of the time period over which reasonable estimates could be made, the status of negotiations with potential subtenants, and the location of the respective facility, among other factors.

        These estimates, along with other estimates made by management in connection with the Restructuring, may vary significantly depending, in part, on factors that may be beyond our control. Specifically, these estimates will depend on our success in negotiating with lessors, the time periods required to locate and contract suitable subleases and the market rates at the time of such subleases. Adjustments to the facilities reserve will be required if actual lease exit costs or sublease income differ from amounts currently expected. We will review the status of Restructuring activities on a quarterly basis and, if appropriate, record changes to our Restructuring obligations in current operations based on management's most current estimates.

Legal Matters

        Management's current estimated range of liability related to pending litigation is based on claims for which it is probable that a liability has been incurred and our management can estimate the amount and range of loss. We have recorded the minimum estimated liability related to those claims, where there is a range of loss. Because of the uncertainties related to both the determination of the probability of an unfavorable outcome and the amount and range of loss in the event of an unfavorable outcome, management is unable to make a reasonable estimate of the liability that could result from the remaining pending litigation. As additional information becomes available, we will assess the probability and the potential liability related to our pending litigation and revise our estimates, if necessary. Such revisions in our estimates of the potential liability could materially impact our results of operations and financial position.

Revenues

2002 versus 2001

        Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 decreased $132.5 million or 53% on a year-over-year basis, and consisted of a decrease in software license revenue of $61.0 million or 60% and a decrease in professional services revenue of $71.5 million or 49%.

        The 60% decrease in software license revenues is primarily attributable to an overall decline in the economy throughout the 2002 fiscal year in comparison to the 2001 fiscal year. Continued economic uncertainty affected the spending on information technology which significantly affected our license revenue during 2002.

        The 49% decrease in professional services revenue is a result of decreased business volume associated with decreased software license revenues over the past year and an overall decline in the economy. Maintenance related fees for technical support and product upgrades were $38.7 million in 2002 which compares to $59.9 million in 2002.

2001 versus 2000

        Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001 decreased $167.1 million or 40% on a year-over-year basis, and consisted of a decrease in software license revenue of $149.4 million or 60% and a decrease in professional services revenue of $17.7 million or 11%.

        The 60% decrease in software license revenues is attributable to an overall decline in the economy throughout the 2001 fiscal year in comparison to the 2000 fiscal year. Continued economic uncertainty affected the spending on information technology which significantly affected our license revenue during 2001.

        The 11% decrease in professional services revenue is a result of decreased business volume associated with decreased software license revenues over the past year and an overall decline in the economy. The decrease in overall professional services revenue was partially offset by an increase in maintenance related revenue derived from maintenance renewal agreements. Maintenance related fees

27



for technical support and product upgrades were $59.9 million in 2001 which compares to $46.2 million in 2000.

Cost of Revenues

        Cost of software licenses includes the costs of product media, duplication, packaging and other manufacturing costs as well as royalties payable to third parties for software that is either embedded in, or bundled and sold with, our products.

        Cost of services consists primarily of employee-related costs, third-party consultant fees incurred on consulting projects, post-contract customer support and instructional training services.

2002 versus 2001

        For the year ended December 31, 2002, cost of software licenses decreased $1.8 million or 18% on a year-over-year basis. Cost of software licenses as a percent of license revenues was 20% in 2002 as compared to 10% in 2001. The decrease in absolute dollars year over year is a result of decreased license revenues and resulting decrease in revenues with associated third party royalties. The increases in the 2002 fiscal year from the 2001 fiscal year as a percentage of license revenue is due primarily to a $3.2 million writeoff of pre-paid royalties for software we no longer intend to utilize. This charge was taken during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002. Cost of software licenses, excluding the prepaid royalty write-off, as a percentage of software license revenue were 12% in fiscal year 2002.

        Cost of services during 2002 decreased $58.7 million or 60% on a year-over-year basis. Cost of services as a percent of services revenues was 52% in 2002 as compared to 66% in 2001. The decrease in cost of services in absolute dollar terms and as a percentage of revenue during 2002 as compared to 2001 was the result of reductions in force that occurred during the 2002 fiscal year, which resulted in decreased salary and salary-related expenses as well as a decreased use of third party consultants. Total employees in BVGS were 170 as of December 31, 2002 as compared to 394 as of December 31, 2001.

2001 versus 2000

        For the year ended December 31, 2001, cost of software licenses increased $2.1 million or 26% on a year-over-year basis. Cost of software licenses as a percent of license revenues was 10% in 2001 as compared to 3% in 2000. The increases in the 2001 fiscal year from the 2000 fiscal year are due to a higher level of sales with associated royalties due on third-party products. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2001, we recorded expense for a prepaid royalty of $500,000 to third parties for products that we do not expect to sell in future years.

        Cost of services during 2001 decreased $21.8 million or 18% on a year-over-year basis. Cost of services as a percent of services revenues was 66% in 2001 as compared to 73% in 2000. The decrease in cost of services in absolute dollar terms and as a percentage of revenue during 2001 as compared to

28



2000 was the result of reductions in force that occurred during the 2001 fiscal year, which resulted in decreased salary and salary-related expenses as well as a decreased use of third party consultants. Total employees in BVGS were 394 as of December 31, 2001 as compared to 1,135 as of December 31, 2000.

Operating Expenses and Other Income (Expense), net

        Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, employee-related benefit costs and consulting fees incurred in association with the development of our products. Costs incurred for the research and development of new software products are expensed as incurred until such time that technological feasibility, in the form of a working model, is established at which time such costs are capitalized and recorded at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. The costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of a working model but prior to general release of the product have not been significant. To date, we have not capitalized any costs related to the development of software for external use.

        Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, employee-related benefit costs, commissions and other incentive compensation, travel and entertainment and marketing program-related expenditures such as collateral materials, trade shows, public relations, advertising, and creative services.

        General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, employee-related benefit costs, accounts receivable reserves expense, and professional service fees.

        A summary of operating expenses is set forth in the following table. The percentage of expenses is calculated based on total revenues.

2002 versus 2001

        Research and development expenses for the year were $41.4 million in 2002 as compared to $78.7 million in 2001, which represents a decrease of 47% year-over-year. The decrease in research and development expenses is primarily attributable to a reduction in staffing levels resulting in decreased salary and salary related costs as well as other cost-cutting efforts taken by us as part of our restructuring plan, such as consolidation of facilities.

        Sales and marketing expenses for the year were $48.9 million in 2002 as compared to $139.8 million in 2001 which represents a decrease of 65% year-over-year. Sales and marketing expenses decreased as

29



a result of decreased salary expense related to 2002 fiscal year reductions in force, in addition to decreased commission expense as a result of decreases in license revenue from 2001 to 2002.

        General and administrative expenses for the year were $16.3 million in 2002 as compared to $42.3 million in 2001, which represents a decrease of 62% year-over-year. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is attributable to decreases in the general reserves of our accounts receivable balances due to better than expected collection efforts and declining accounts receivable balances and decreased salary expense as a result of reductions in workforce as well as decreases in facilities costs as a result of continued facilities consolidations and decreases in professional services expenses.

        Goodwill and intangible amortization—On June 29, 2001, we completed our acquisition of Keyeon LLC ("Keyeon"), a joint venture in which we previously held an interest of approximately 36%. As consideration for the acquisition, we issued 301,475 shares of our common stock valued at $13.6 million to the other participants in the joint venture, which resulted in our owning 100% of the outstanding shares of Keyeon. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. As a result of the Keyeon acquisition, we recorded goodwill of $880,000. Amortization of goodwill related to the Keyeon acquisition was $0 in 2002 and approximately $246,000 in 2001. We acquired Interleaf on April 14, 2000. We accounted for the acquisition as a purchase business combination. As a result of this transaction, we recorded goodwill and other intangible assets of $794.7 million. Amortization of goodwill related to the Interleaf transaction was $0 during 2002 and amortization of recognizable intangible assets related to the Interleaf transaction was $35 million in 2002. Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles assets related to the Interleaf acquisition was $210.8 million in 2001. On November 24, 1999, we acquired all of the registered shares of Fidutec Information Technology SA. We have accounted for this acquisition as a purchase business combination. Amortization of goodwill related to Fidutec was $0 in 2002 and approximately $214,000 in 2001. As reported in Note 4 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we recorded a $336.4 million impairment charge during 2001 to reduce goodwill by $330.2 million and other intangible assets by $6.2 million associated with our acquisitions, primarily the Interleaf acquisition, to their estimated fair value. As described in Note 4 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial statements, as of January 1, 2002, we no longer amortize goodwill or the assembled workforce as we have identified the assembled workforce as an intangible asset which does not meet the criteria of recognizable intangible asset as defined by SFAS No. 142. The remaining other intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their remaining useful life of three months as of December 31, 2002. We periodically assess goodwill and other intangibles for impairment as discussed in Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The remaining intangible assets that are being amortized are a result of the acquisition of Interleaf. We have accounted for the acquisition as a purchase business combination. Amortization expense is estimated to be $887,000 in 2003. It is possible that we may continue to expand our business through acquisitions and internal development. Any additional acquisitions or impairment of goodwill and other purchased intangibles could result in additional merger and acquisition related expenses.

        Charge for acquired in-process technology—In connection with the acquisition of Keyeon, LLC, and based upon our estimates prepared in conjunction with a third-party valuation consultant, $6.4 million was allocated to acquired in-process technology and $880,000 was allocated to goodwill and intangible assets. The acquired in-process technology included a project to develop an employee portal product. We estimated that $6.4 million of the purchase price for Keyeon represented acquired in-process technology that had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use. Accordingly, this amount was immediately charged to expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The income approach methodology was used to value the acquired in-process technology. Under the income approach, fair value reflects the present value of the projected free cash flows that will be generated by the products, incorporating the acquired technologies under development, assuming they will be successfully completed. These cash flows are discounted at a rate appropriate for the risk of the asset. The rate of return depends upon the stage of completion, which was estimated at

30



fifty percent. An overall after tax discount rate of thirty percent was applied to the cash flows expected to be generated by the products incorporating technology currently under development. The efforts required to complete the acquired in-process technology included the completion of all planning, designing and testing activities that were necessary to establish that the product can be produced to meet its design requirements, including functions, features and technical performance requirements. The costs to complete this project were included in the year ending December 31, 2001 and there are no expected remaining costs.

        Restructuring charge—During fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002, we approved restructuring plans to, among other things, reduce our workforce and consolidate facilities. These restructuring and asset impairment charges were taken to align our cost structure with changing market conditions and to create a more efficient organization. A pre-tax charge of $110.4 million was recorded during fiscal 2002 and a pre-tax charge of $153.3 million was recorded during fiscal 2001 to provide for these actions and other related items. We recorded the low-end of a range of assumptions modeled for the restructuring charges, in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The high-end of the range was estimated at $117.8 million for the charge related to fiscal 2002. Adjustments to the restructuring reserves will be made in future periods, if necessary, based upon the then current actual events and circumstances.

        Severance and benefits—We recorded a charge of approximately $7.6 million during fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 related to severance benefits to terminated employees in the United States and various international locations. Costs incurred include severance, payroll taxes and COBRA benefits. Included in the $7.6 million is $107,000 of non-cash charges. These non-cash charges represent a one-time compensation charge taken as a result of granting certain terminated employees extended vesting of stock options beyond the standard vesting schedule for terminated employees. The compensation charge was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Approximately $817,000 of severance and benefits related costs remained accrued as of December 31, 2001 as a result of our 2001 restructuring plan. Approximately $6.9 million of severance and benefits costs had been paid out during fiscal 2002 and the remaining $1.4 million of severance, payroll taxes and COBRA benefits is expected to be paid in full by December 31, 2003. Our restructuring plan included plans to terminate the employment of approximately 430 employees in North and South America and approximately 95 employees throughout Europe and Asia/Pacific during the first three quarters of fiscal 2002, impacting all of our departments. The employment of approximately 525 employees was terminated during fiscal year 2002. As a result of these reductions, we expect annual salary savings of approximately $44.6 million.

        Facilities/Excess Assets—During fiscal year 2002, we revised our estimates and expectations with respect to our facilities disposition efforts due to further consolidation and abandonment of additional facilities and to account for changes in estimates used in our 2001 restructuring plan based upon actual events and circumstances. Total lease termination costs include the impairment of related assets, remaining lease liabilities and brokerage fees offset by estimated sublease income. The estimated costs of abandoning these leased facilities, including estimated sublease income, were based on market information analyses provided by a commercial real estate brokerage firm retained by us. Based on the factors above, a facilities/excess assets charge of $101.7 million was recorded during fiscal year 2002 and includes non-cash asset impairment charges of approximately $18.9 million.

        Approximately $89.9 million of facilities related costs remained accrued as of December 31, 2001 as a result of our 2001 restructuring plan. Net cash payments during fiscal year 2002 related to abandoned facilities amounted to $78.0 million. Actual future cash requirements may differ materially from the accrual at December 31, 2002, particularly if actual sublease income is significantly different from historical estimates. As of December 31, 2002, $94.7 million of lease termination costs, net of anticipated sublease income, is expected to be paid by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2013. We expect to pay approximately $26.9 million over the next twelve months and the remaining $67.8 million from January 1, 2004 through June of fiscal 2013. The $94.7 million is net of approximately

31



$44.8 million of estimated sublease income of which approximately $28.8 million represents sublease agreements yet to be negotiated.

        Other—We recorded charges of approximately $1.1 million during fiscal year 2002 for various incremental costs incurred as a direct result of the restructuring plan. The remaining reserve balance of $79,000 is expected to be paid in full by the end of the fourth quarter of 2003

        Actual future cash requirements may differ materially from the restructuring accruals at December 31, 2002, particularly if actual sublease income is significantly different from current estimates. Adjustments to the restructuring accruals will be made in future periods, if necessary, based upon the then current actual events and circumstances.

        Interest Income—Interest income decreased to $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $11.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease is attributable to decreased cash balances from 2001 to 2002.

        Other income (expense), net for the 2002 fiscal year was an expense of $12.1 million as compared to expense of $18.3 million in 2001. The main reason for the decrease in other expense is due to a decrease in losses on asset sales/disposals of $2.2 million, a decrease in losses on foreign currency of $1.6 million and a decrease in equity in net loss from unconsolidated subsidiaries of $2.4 million.

        Impairment of assets—During the first quarter of 2002, we engaged a third party firm to conduct a physical inventory of our computer hardware assets located in North America. We conducted an internal physical inventory on computer hardware assets located outside of North America. The objective of the physical inventory was to verify the amount and location of our computer hardware. As a result of the findings of the physical inventory and related reconciliation with our asset records, we recorded an asset impairment charge of approximately $2.3 million net book value related to computer hardware during the first quarter of fiscal 2002. During the third quarter of 2002, we conducted an additional review of remaining computer and communication related assets not reviewed during the first quarter inventory and recorded an asset impairment charge of $853,000 as a result of the findings of our inventory and related reconciliation with our asset records.

        Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets—As discussed in Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, we adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," on January 1, 2002. This standard requires that goodwill no longer be amortized, and instead, be tested for impairment on a periodic basis.

        Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, we are required to test goodwill for impairment upon adoption and annually or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. While there was no accounting charge to record upon adoption, at September 30, 2002, we concluded that, based on the decline in our stock price, we would be required to test goodwill for impairment. SFAS No. 142 provides for a two-stage approach to determining whether and by how much goodwill has been impaired. Since we have only one reporting unit for purposes of applying SFAS No.142, the first stage requires a comparison of our fair value to our net book value. If the fair value is greater, then no impairment is deemed to have occurred. If the fair value is less, then the second stage must be completed to determine the amount, if any, of actual impairment. We completed the first stage and determined that our fair value at September 30, 2002, exceeded our net book value on that date, and as a result, no impairment of goodwill was recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements. We obtained an independent appraisal of fair value to support our conclusion. We also determined, as of December 31, 2002, that our fair value exceeded our net book value and no impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets existed.

        The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is highly subjective and requires significant judgment. In estimating the fair value of the Company, we made estimates and judgments about future revenues and cash flows. Our forecasts were based on assumptions that are consistent with

32



the plans and estimates we are using to manage the Company. Changes in these estimates could change our conclusion regarding impairment of goodwill and potentially result in a non-cash goodwill impairment charge, for all or a portion of the goodwill balance at December 31, 2002. For long-lived assets, accounting standards dictate that assets become impaired when the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by them are less than their carrying amounts. When that occurs, the affected assets are written down to their estimated fair value. As described in "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" in this document, our accounting for goodwill changed in 2002 upon adoption of SFAS No. 142.

        During the third quarter of 2001, we determined that the goodwill and other intangible assets related to our various acquisitions may have been impaired. In accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets", we performed an impairment analysis. These standards require that goodwill and other intangible assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Because we had integrated the acquired companies' operations, we performed the test for impairment at an overall enterprise level. Our policy is to use a discounted cash flow approach. This approach includes analyzing estimated future cash flows over the remaining life of the goodwill and other intangible assets as well as a disposition value at the end of the life of the goodwill and other intangible assets. The resulting value was then compared to the carrying value of stockholders' equity and the difference represents goodwill and other intangible assets impairment measured on a discounted basis. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment charge of $336.4 million during the 2001 fiscal year.

        We are attempting to reduce expenses in an effort to return to profitability during a period when revenues have been less than originally expected. Therefore, operating costs may decline in the near future, but there can be no assurance that such decline will be enough to return BroadVision to profitability. Should revenues increase significantly, we would expect our expenses to increase commensurate with increases in revenues.

2001 versus 2000

        Research and development expenses for the year were $78.7 million in 2001 as compared to $51.6 million in 2000, which represents an increase of 52% year-over-year. The increase in research and development expenses is primarily attributable to increased efforts involved in the enhancement of existing applications and the development of our next generation of products partially offset by compensation reductions and cost-cutting efforts put in place during the 2001 fiscal year.

        Sales and marketing expenses for the year were $139.8 million in 2001 as compared to $167.4 million in 2000 which represents an decrease of 16% year-over-year. Sales and marketing expenses decreased as a result of decreased salary expense related to 2001 fiscal year reductions in force, in addition to decreased commission expense as a result of decreases in license revenue from 2000 to 2001.

        General and administrative expenses for the year were $42.3 million in 2001 as compared to $28.1 million in 2000, which represents an increase of 51% year-over-year. The increase in general and administrative expenses is attributable to higher professional fees primarily due to increased legal expenses and increases in the general reserves of our accounts receivable balances as a result of the effects of the economic slowdown and its impact on the operations of certain emerging electronic commerce customers, partially offset by decreased salary expense as a result of reductions in workforce.

        Goodwill and intangible amortization—As a result of the Keyeon acquisition, we recorded goodwill of $880,000. Amortization of goodwill related to the Keyeon acquisition was approximately $246,000 in 2001. As a result of the Interleaf transaction, we recorded goodwill and other intangible assets of

33



$794.7 million. Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles assets related to the Interleaf acquisition was $210.8 million in 2001 as compared to $187.6 million in 2000. Amortization of goodwill related to Fidutec was approximately $214,000 in 2001 and 2000. As reported in Note 4 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we recorded a $336.4 million impairment charge during 2001 to reduce goodwill by $330.2 million and other intangible assets by $6.2 million associated with our acquisitions, primarily the Interleaf acquisition, to their estimated fair value.

        Charge for acquired in-process technology—In connection with the Keyeon acquisition in 2001, $6.4 million was allocated to acquired in-process technology and $880,000 was allocated to goodwill and intangible assets. The acquired in-process technology includes a project to develop an employee portal product. We estimated that $6.4 million of the purchase price for Keyeon represented acquired in-process technology that had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use. Accordingly, this amount was immediately charged to expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

        In connection with the Interleaf acquisition which occurred in 2000, we estimated that $10.1 million of the purchase price for Interleaf represented acquired in-process technology that had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use. Accordingly, this amount was immediately charged to expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations upon consummation of the acquisition. The value assigned to acquired in-process technology was the amount attributable to the efforts of Interleaf up to the time of acquisition. The amount was estimated through the application of the "stages of completion" by multiplying the estimated present value of future cash flows, excluding cost of completion, by the percentage of completion of the purchased technology at the time of the acquisition. The discount rate included a factor that took into account the uncertainty surrounding the successful development of the acquired in-process technology.

        Restructuring charge—During the 2001 fiscal year, we approved a restructuring plan to restructure our worldwide operations including a reduction in workforce of approximately 859 employees and the consolidation of our operating facilities. These restructuring actions were taken to align our cost structure with changing market conditions and to create a more efficient organization. A pre-tax charge of $153.3 million was recorded in 2001 which included severance and benefits charges, lease abandonment costs, asset impairment charges and other charges incurred as a direct result of the restructuring. We determined a range of expected losses on lease abandonment. We accrued for losses at the low-end of a range in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The high-end of the range is estimated at $243.1 million, an increase in the restructuring charge of $89.8 million. Total severance and benefits costs were $9.1 million and included $662,000 of non-cash charges. Approximately $7.6 million of severance and benefits had been paid as of December 31, 2001. We terminated approximately 654 employees in North and South America and approximately 205 employees throughout Europe and Asia Pacific during 2001. The reduction in workforce occurred through all of our departments. Total facilities and excess assets charges during 2001 were $143.8 million and included $36.8 million of asset impairment charges. Approximately $17.1 million of facilities charges had been paid as of December 31, 2001. Other restructuring charges of $405,000 are for various incremental costs incurred as a direct result of the restructuring. Approximately $292,000 had been paid as of December 31, 2001.

        Interest Income—Interest income decreased to $11.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $16.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The decrease is attributable to decreased cash balances.

        Other (expense) income, net—for the 2001 fiscal year was an expense of $18.3 million as compared to income of $1.5 million in 2000. The main reason for the decrease in other income is due to a decrease in short term investment gains on sale of $1.6 million, an increase in cost method investment

34



realized losses of $11.7 million, an increase in equity in net loss from unconsolidated subsidiaries of $1.9 million and an increase in losses on asset disposals of $3.1 million.

        Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets—During the third quarter of 2001, we determined that the goodwill and other intangible assets related to our various acquisitions may have been impaired. In accordance with SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 17, Intangible Assets, we performed an impairment analysis. We recorded an impairment charge of $330.2 million during the 2001 fiscal year for goodwill. Please see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Income Taxes

        For the year ended December 31, 2002, we recorded a current income tax provision of $7.6 million. $6.3 million of the $7.6 million relates to a valuation provision for our deferred tax asset recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2002. The tax expense, excluding the deferred tax asset valuation provision, mainly relates to foreign withholding taxes and state income taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2001, we recorded an income tax provision of $2.1 million relating to state and foreign income taxes.

        As of December 31, 2002, cash, cash equivalents, liquid short-term investments, liquid long-term investments and restricted cash and investments totaled $119.2 million, which represents a decrease of $74.4 million as compared to December 31, 2001. This decrease is primarily attributed to net cash used for operations. We have a credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank that includes term loans in the form of promissory notes and a revolving line of credit (the "SVB Facility") for up to $25.0 million. Under the revolving line of credit portion of the SVB Facility, amounts borrowed bear interest at the bank's prime rate (4.25% as of December 31, 2002) and interest is due monthly, with the principal due in March 2003. We have two outstanding term loans under the SVB Facility. The total outstanding amount of these term loans were $2.9 million as of December 31, 2002 and $3.9 million as of December 31, 2001. Interest on these term loans are at the bank's prime rate (4.25% as of December 31, 2002 and 4.84% as of December 31, 2001) and prime rate plus 1.25% (5.5% as of December 31, 2002 and 6.09% as of December 31, 2001), respectively. Principal and interest are due in consecutive monthly payments through maturity of these term loans in March 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006, respectively. Principal payments of $977,000 are due annually from 2000 through 2004, $611,000 due in 2005, and a final payment of $357,000 due in 2006.

        Borrowings under the SVB Facility are collateralized by substantially all of our owned assets and we are subject to certain covenants, including restrictions on payment of dividends and other distributions as well as an obligation to maintain $80.0 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments (excluding equity investments) and maintain $30.0 million on deposit with SVB. As of December 31, 2002, we were in compliance with all specified financial covenants. During the second quarter of 2002, we drew down $25.0 million on our revolving line of credit as partial funding of our PacShores Building 4 and 5 Termination Agreement.

35



See discussion below for more information. Interest is payable monthly at the bank's prime rate (4.25% annually as of December 31, 2002) and principal is due in full in February 2004. There were no outstanding amounts under the revolving line of credit as of December 31, 2001. As discussed in Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we renewed and amended our revolving credit facility in March 2003 which changed the principal due date from March 2003 to February 2004. The amount available under the revolving line of credit remains unchanged at $25.0 million. Borrowings under the renewed revolving line of credit are collateralized by all of the Company's assets and bear interest at the bank's prime rate (4.25% as of March 1, 2003). Interest is due monthly and principal is due at expiration. The amended and restated loan and security agreement requires us to maintain certain levels in cash and cash equivalents, short-term investment and long-term investments (excluding equity investments). Additionally, the amended and restated loan and security agreement requires us to maintain certain levels on deposit with our commercial lender and certain quarterly net income (loss) levels.

        As of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, commitments totaling $16.7 million and $25.0 million, respectively, in the form of standby letters of credit were issued and outstanding from financial institutions in favor of our various landlords to secure obligations under our facility leases. These letters of credit are collateralized by a security agreement, under which we are required to maintain in a restricted specified interest bearing account approximately $16.7 million and $29.9 million of available cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The $16.6 million and the $29.9 million have been presented as restricted cash and investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.

Cash (Used For) Provided by Operating Activities

        Cash used for operating activities was $99.2 million for fiscal 2002 and $77.9 million for fiscal 2001, respectively. The primary reason for the net cash used for operating activities for fiscal 2002 is due to the net loss of $170.5 million adjusted for certain non-cash items such as depreciation expense, amortization of prepaid royalties, amortization of intangibles, impairment of assets, non-cash restructuring charge, accounts receivable reserves and provision for deferred tax asset valuation for $74.6 million as well as a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $9.1 million, a decrease in unearned revenues and deferred maintenance of $14.4 million, a decrease in other noncurrent assets of $2.6 million, partially offset by decreases in accounts receivable of $12.9 million and in prepaids and other of $3.6 million, and an increase in the restructuring reserves of $6.3 million. Cash (used for) provided by operating activities was ($77.9) million for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $55.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Net cash used for operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2001 was primarily attributed to the net loss for the year less non-cash charges such as goodwill and intangible amortization, fixed asset depreciation and amortization, impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, charge for acquired in-process technology and the non-cash portion of the restructuring charge. Other key contributors included decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, unearned revenue and deferred maintenance and increases in other noncurrent assets, all partially offset by decreases in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses.

Cash Provided By (Used For) Investing Activities

        Cash provided by investing activities was $73.9 million for fiscal 2002 and was primarily due to net sales/maturities of investments of $61.5 million and $13.2 million released from restricted cash and investments. Cash used for investing activities was $15.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 and consists of purchases of property and equipment of $55.7 million, partially offset by net sales of investments of $32.8 million and cash acquired in the Keyeon acquisition of $7.2 million.

36



Cash Provided By Financing Activities

        Cash provided by financing activities was $26.9 million for fiscal 2002 and consists of $2.9 million of net proceeds from the issuance of common stock and $25.0 million in proceeds from borrowings less $977,000 of repayments on borrowings. Cash provided by financing activities was $15.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 and consisted primarily of proceeds from the issuance of common stock.

        Capital expenditures were $1.1 million for fiscal 2002 and $55.7 million for fiscal 2001. Our capital expenditures consisted of purchases of operating resources to manage our operations and included computer hardware and software, office furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements.

        In connection with our restructuring plan initiated during 2001, we consolidated various operating facilities during 2001 and 2002. Lease termination costs include the abandonment of certain excess lease facilities for the remaining lease terms. These costs totaled $101.7 million, including $18.9 million in leasehold improvements impairments, during 2002 and $143.8 million, including $36.8 million in leasehold improvements impairments in 2001. Total lease termination costs include the abandonment of leasehold improvements and the remaining lease liabilities and brokerage fees, offset by estimated sublease income. The estimated costs of abandoning these facilities, estimated costs to sublease as well as estimated sublease income, were based upon market information analyses provided by a commercial real estate brokerage firm retained by us.

        On May 9, 2002, the Company and PacShores entered into (i) the Buildings 4 and 5 Termination Agreement and (ii) the Building 6 Amendment. Under the Buildings 4 and 5 Termination Agreement, the Triple Net Building Lease dated April 12, 2000 between PacShores, as Lessor, and the Company, as Lessee, for Premises at Pacific Shores Center, Building 4, Redwood City, California and the Triple Net Building Lease dated February 16, 2000 between PacShores, as Lessor, and the Company, as Lessee, for Premises at Pacific Shores Center, Building 5, Redwood City, California, were terminated. In conjunction with the termination, PacShores released all security deposits held by it relating to those premises in exchange for our payment to PacShores a total of $45.0 million as the Termination Fee. Under the Building 6 Amendment, the parties released each other from all claims and we agreed to provide an additional $3.5 million as security deposit in the form of letters of credit. This letter of credit is included as restricted cash and investments in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2002. We paid the Termination Fee in full during the second quarter of 2002 by payment of approximately $20.0 million from existing cash and investments and by drawing down approximately $25.0 million from our line of credit. The $25.0 million line of credit, as amended, is due in February 2004.

        We expect to incur significant operating expenses for the foreseeable future in order to execute our business plan. A summary of total future minimum lease payments as of December 31, 2002, under noncancelable operating lease agreements, together with amounts included in restructuring reserves is as follows (in thousands); properties that are part of the restructuring have been included:

Year Ended December 31,

  Total future minimum lease payments
2003   $ 26,281
2004     25,855
2005     25,652
2006     22,620
2007     20,495
2008 and thereafter     81,487
   
Total minimum lease payments     202,390

        As of December 31, 2002, $129.4 million of future minimum lease payments, net of anticipated sublease income, is accrued in our restructuring accruals. The restructuring accruals are net of

37



approximately $44.8 million of sublease income of which approximately $28.8 million represents estimated sublease income for sublease agreements yet to be negotiated and the remaining $16.0 million represents sublease income to be received under non-cancelable sublease agreements signed by December 31, 2002. See Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

        The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future years. The operating leases include facilities included in restructuring and excluded $44.8 million of sublease income of which approximately $28.8 million represents estimated sublease income for sublease agreements yet to be negotiated.

        We anticipate that such operating expenses, as well as capital expenditures, will constitute a material use of our cash resources. As a result, our net cash flows will depend heavily on the level of future sales, our ability to restructure operations successfully and our ability to manage infrastructure costs.

        We currently expect to fund our short-term working capital and operating resource expenditure requirements, for at least the next twelve months, from our existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment resources, our anticipated cash flows from operations and anticipated cash flows from subleases. However, we could experience unforeseen circumstances such as a worsening economic downturn, legal or lease settlements and less than anticipated cash inflows from operations, invested assets, and subleases that may increase our use of available cash or need to obtain additional financing. Also, we may find it necessary to obtain additional equity or debt financing in order to support more rapid expansion, develop new or enhanced services, respond to competitive pressures, acquire complementary businesses or technologies or respond to unanticipated requirements. We may seek to raise additional funds through private or public sales of securities, strategic relationships, bank debt, financing under leasing arrangements or otherwise. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution or such equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to develop our products, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and future operating results.

Quarterly Results of Operations

        The following tables set forth certain unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations data for the eight quarters ended December 31, 2002, as well as that data expressed as a percentage of our total revenues for the periods indicated.

        This data has been derived from unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements that, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of such information when read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.

        The unaudited quarterly information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere herein on this Form 10-K. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our financial results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.

        Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. It is likely that our operating results in one or more future quarters may be below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In that event, the trading price of our common stock almost certainly would decline.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

        In January 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached consensus on EITF 01-14 on the topic of Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out of Pocket Expenses Incurred. This topic addresses whether reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses incurred should be characterized in the income statement as revenue or as a reduction of expenses incurred. The EITF concluded that reimbursements received for out of pocket expenses incurred should be characterized as revenue in the income statement. This announcement will be applied in financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2001, and comparative financial statements for prior periods will be reclassified to comply with the guidance in this announcement. The Company is currently recording reimbursement by its customers for out-of-pocket expenses as a component of services revenue. Prior to adoption of EITF 01-14 on January 1, 2002, the Company recorded reimbursement by its customers for out-of-pocket expenses as a reduction to cost of sales. Prior periods have been reclassified to comply with the guidance of EITF 01-14. The effect of this reclassification was to increase services revenues and increase cost of services for fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000 by $3.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

        In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit Activities, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit activities and supersedes Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a

40



Restructuring). SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. This differs from EITF 94-3, which required that a liability for an exit cost be recognized at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. However, under SFAS No. 146, a liability for one-time termination benefits is recognized when an entity has committed to a plan of termination, provided certain other requirements have been met. In addition, under SFAS No. 146, a liability for costs to terminate a contract is not recognized until the contract has been terminated, and a liability for costs that will continue to be incurred under a contract's remaining term without economic benefit to the entity is recognized when the entity ceases to use the right conveyed by the contract. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 146 for restructuring activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 146 will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.

        In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue 00-21, addressing how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services, and/or rights to use assets. Revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables are divided into separate units of accounting if the deliverables in the arrangement meet the following criteria: (1) the delivered item has value to the customer on a standalone basis; (2) there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of undelivered items; and (3) delivery of any undelivered item is probable. Arrangement consideration should be allocated among the separate units of accounting based on their relative fair values, with the amount allocated to the delivered item being limited to the amount that is not contingent on the delivery of additional items or meeting other specified performance conditions. The final consensus will be applicable to agreements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003 with early adoption permitted. The provisions of this Consensus are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's financial position or operating results.

        In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others", which clarifies disclosure and recognition/measurement requirements related to certain guarantees. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements issued after December 15, 2002 and the recognition/measurement requirements are effective on a prospective basis for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The application of the requirements of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

        In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure." This Statement amends SFAS No. 123, "Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The disclosure provisions of this Standard are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002 and have been incorporated into these financial statements and accompanying footnotes.

        In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," which addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities that either: (1) do not have sufficient equity investment at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (2) the equity investors lack an essential characteristic of a controlling financial interest. FIN 46 requires disclosure of Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) in financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, if it is reasonably possible that as of the transition date: (1) the Company will be the primary beneficiary of an existing VIE that will require consolidation or, (2) the Company will hold a significant variable interest in, or have significant

41



involvement with, an existing VIE. We do not have any entities that will require disclosure or new consolidation as a result of adopting the provisions of FIN 46.

RISK FACTORS

        The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business could be harmed. In that event, the trading price of our common stock could decline.

Risks related to our business

We have experienced prolonged negative cash flows and difficulty returning to profitability.

        We have experienced a decline in revenues sequentially for the first three quarters of fiscal 2001 and the first three quarters of fiscal 2002 and the outlook on future periods is unclear given the general economic conditions. Furthermore, we incurred net losses for the past eleven quarters and have not achieved positive cash flow from operations in the last nine quarters. We may not be profitable from operations for the near term and may continue to incur negative cash flow. If the negative cash flow continues, our liquidity and ability to operate our business would be severely and adversely impacted. Additionally, our ability to raise financial capital may be hindered due to our operational losses and negative cash flows, reducing our operating flexibility.

        We are continuing efforts to reduce and control our expense structure. We believe strict cost containment and expense reductions are essential to achieving positive cash flow and profitability. A number of factors could preclude us from successfully bringing costs and expenses in line with our revenues, including unplanned uses of cash, the inability to accurately forecast business activities and further deterioration of our revenues. If we are not able to effectively reduce our costs and achieve an expense structure commensurate with our business activities and revenues, we may have inadequate levels of cash for operations or for capital requirements, which could significantly harm our ability to operate our business.

General economic conditions are and may continue to affect our ability to return to profitability.

        There has been a general downturn in the United States of America and global economy. If the economic environment continues to decline or if the current global slowdown worsens or becomes prolonged, our future results may be significantly impacted. We believe that the current economic decline has increased the average length of our sales cycle and our operating results could suffer and our stock price could decline if we do not achieve the level of revenues we expect.

        Like other U.S. companies, our business and operating results are subject to uncertainties arising out of the terrorist attacks on the United States, including the economic consequences of military actions or additional terrorist activities and associated political instability, and the impact of heightened security concerns on domestic and international travel and commerce. Such uncertainties could also lead to delays or cancellations of customer orders, a general decrease in corporate spending or our inability to effectively market and sell our products. Any of these results could substantially harm our business and results of operations, causing a decrease in our revenues.

Failure to maintain our Nasdaq listing would harm our stock price and the liquidity of our common stock.

        We effected a one-for-nine reverse stock split in July 2002. Prior to the effective time of the reverse stock split, our common stock was trading below $1.00 per share. The Nasdaq has a $1.00 per share minimum bid requirement, pursuant to which our common stock could be de-listed from the Nasdaq National Market if it trades below $1.00 for thirty consecutive trading days and does not

42



subsequently trade above $1.00 for 10 consecutive days. There can be no assurance that our trading price will remain above the $1.00 per share requirement for the necessary time period mandated by Nasdaq. If we do not meet the Nasdaq requirements to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq National Market, our common stock could trade on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the "pink sheets" maintained by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. Such alternatives are generally considered to be less efficient markets, and our stock price, as well as the liquidity of our common stock, would be adversely impacted by a Nasdaq delisting.

Failure to meet our SVB Facility financial covenants would allow SVB to terminate the SVB Facility and accelerate our repayment obligations, which would negatively affect our cash liquidity.

        We recently renewed and amended the SVB Facility during the second quarter of fiscal 2002 and further renewed and amended the SVB Facility during the first quarter of fiscal 2003. The SVB Facility is secured by substantially all of our owned assets. The primary financial covenant under the SVB Facility obligates us to maintain certain levels of available cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments (excluding equity investments). Falling below such levels would be an event of default for which Silicon Valley Bank may, among other things, accelerate the payment of the facility. While we plan to adhere to the financial covenants of the SVB Facility and avoid an event of default, in the event that it appears we are unable to avoid an event of default, it may be necessary or advisable to retire and terminate the SVB Facility and pay off all remaining balances borrowed. Such a payoff would further limit our available cash and cash equivalents.

Our future financial performance is largely dependent on the successful upgrading of our current products and introduction of new products.

        Our future financial performance will depend, in significant part, on the successful development and sale of new and enhanced versions of our products and other new products. We may be unable to upgrade and continue to market products. We may be unable to successfully develop new products and new products may not achieve market acceptance.

If we are unable to meet the rapid technological changes in online commerce and communication, our products and services may fail to be competitive.

        Our products and services may fail to be competitive if we do not maintain or exceed the pace of technological developments in Internet commerce and communication. The information services, software and communications industries are characterized by rapid technological change, changes in customer requirements, frequent new product and service introductions and enhancements and evolving industry standards and practices. The introduction of products and services embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards and practices can render existing products and services obsolete. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to:

        Internet commerce technology is complex and new products and enhancements can require long development periods. If we are unable to develop and introduce new products and services or enhancements in a timely manner in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements,

43



or if new products and services do not achieve market acceptance, our business may fail to be competitive.

Our lengthy sales and product implementation cycles could cause delays in revenue recognition and make it difficult to predict our quarterly results.

        Our sales and product implementation cycles are subject to delays over which we have little or no control. These delays can affect the timing of revenue recognition and make it difficult to predict our quarterly results. Licensing our products is often an enterprise-wide decision by prospective customers. The importance of this decision requires that we engage in a lengthy sales cycle with prospective customers. During the sales process, we provide a significant level of education regarding the uses and benefits of our products. Once the decision has been made to implement our products, our customers or our BroadVision Global Services consultants then must commit significant resources over an extended period of time. Slowdowns in general economic conditions may result in decisions by customers to defer decisions to purchase our products. Delays in license transactions due to unusually lengthy sales cycles could cause our operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

The market for our products and services is in a rapidly evolving environment and may fail to remain a viable market

        Our products and services facilitate online commerce and communication over public and private networks. The market for these products and services is rapidly evolving. A viable market may fail to be sustainable. We cannot predict the level of demand for and market acceptance of our products and services, especially because acquisition of our products and services requires a large capital or other significant resource commitment. If the market for our products and services does not continue to mature, we will be unable to execute successfully our business plan. Adoption of electronic commerce and knowledge management, particularly by those individuals and companies that have historically relied upon traditional means of commerce and communication, will require a broad acceptance of new and different methods of conducting business and exchanging information. If Internet commerce does not continue to grow or grows more slowly than expected, our future revenues and profits may not meet our expectations or those of analysts. In the marketplace of Internet commerce, our products and services involve a new approach to the conduct of online business. As a result, intensive marketing and sales efforts may be necessary to educate prospective customers regarding the uses and benefits of our products and services, thereby generating demand. Companies that have already invested substantial resources in other methods of conducting business may be reluctant to adopt a new approach that may replace, limit or compete with their existing systems. Similarly, purchasers with established patterns of commerce may be reluctant to alter those patterns or may otherwise resist providing the personal data necessary to support our consumer profiling capability. In addition, the security and privacy concerns of existing and potential online purchasers may inhibit the growth of online business generally and the market's acceptance of our products and services in particular. Accordingly, a viable market for our products and services may not be sustainable.

Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results may cause our stock price to decline and make it difficult for us to forecast quarterly revenue and operating results.

        Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. It is likely that our operating results in one or more future quarters may be below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In that event, the trading price of our common stock almost certainly would decline.

        Factors that may affect our quarterly operating results include the following:

44


        Due to these and other factors, it is difficult to accurately forecast our quarterly revenues and operating results. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful and you should not rely upon them as any indication of our future performance.

We have substantially modified our business and operations and will need to manage and support these changes effectively in order for our business plan to succeed.

        We substantially expanded then contracted our business and operations since our inception in 1993. We grew from 652 employees at the end of 1999 to 2,412 employees at the end of 2000 and have reduced our numbers to 1,102 at the end of 2001 and 449 at the end of 2002. If we are unable to support these changes effectively, we may have to divert additional resources away from executing our business plan and toward internal administration. If our expenses do not track our revenues, we may have to make additional changes to our management systems and our business plan may not succeed.

We are dependent on direct sales personnel and third-party distribution channels to achieve revenue growth.

        To date, we have sold our products primarily through our direct sales force. Our ability to achieve significant revenue growth in the future largely will depend on our success in recruiting, training and retaining sufficient direct sales personnel and establishing and maintaining relationships with distributors, resellers and systems integrators. Our products and services require a sophisticated sales effort targeted at the senior management of our prospective customers. New hires as well as employees of our distributors, resellers and systems integrators require training and take time to achieve full productivity. Our recent hires may not become as productive as necessary, and we may be unable to hire and retain sufficient numbers of qualified individuals in the future. We have entered into strategic alliance agreements with partners, under which partners have agreed to resell and support our current BroadVision One-to-One product suite. These contracts are generally terminable by either party upon 30 days' notice of an uncured material breach. Termination of any of these alliances could harm our

45



expected revenues. We may be unable to expand our other distribution channels, and any expansion may not result in revenue increases. If we fail to maintain and expand our direct sales force or other distribution channels, our revenues may not grow or they may decline.

Our customers may rely on third-party systems integrators for the success of online marketplaces.

        Our current and prospective customers may rely on third-party systems integrators to develop, deploy and manage online marketplaces. If we are unable to adequately train these systems integrators who, as a result, ineffectively assist customers with their online marketplaces, our reputation may be harmed and we may lose customers. In addition, if for any reason a large number of these integrators adopt a different product or technology instead of the BroadVision products, sales of these products may not grow or they may decline.

We are susceptible to numerous risks associated with international operations.

        Our international activities expose us to numerous additional risks. In the year ended December 31, 2002, approximately 39% of our revenues were derived from sales outside of North America.

        As we continue to expand internationally, we will be increasingly subject to risks of doing business internationally, including:

        Our international sales growth will be limited if we are unable to establish additional foreign operations, expand international sales channel management and support, hire additional personnel, customize products for local markets and develop relationships with international service providers, distributors and system integrators. Even if we are able to successfully expand our international operations, we may not succeed in maintaining or expanding international market demand for our products.

Our products are especially susceptible to product defects because they are complex.

        Sophisticated software products, like those sold by us, may contain undetected errors that will not become apparent until after the products are introduced or when the volume of provided services increases. It is possible that, despite testing by us and our prospective customers, errors will be found in our products. Product defects could result in all or any of the following consequences to our business:

46


Because a significant portion of our sales activity occurs at the end of each fiscal quarter, delays in a relatively small number of license transactions could adversely affect our operating results for the quarter.

        Like most software companies, a significant proportion of our sales are concentrated near the end of each fiscal quarter. Gross margins are high for our license transactions. Customers and prospective customers are aware of these facts and use these conditions in an attempt to obtain concessions. While we have tried to avoid making concessions that could result in lower margins, the tactic often results in delays in the closing of license transactions. Small delays in a relatively small number of license deals could have a significant impact on our reported operating results for that quarter.

Current and potential competitors could make it difficult for us to acquire and retain customers now and in the future.

        If we fail to compete successfully with current or future competitors, we may lose market share. The market for e-business solutions is rapidly evolving and intensely competitive. Our customers' requirements and the technology available to satisfy those requirements will continually change. We expect competition in this market to persist and increase in the future. Our primary competition currently includes:


        The principal competitive factors affecting the market for our products are:

47


        Compared to us, many of these and other current and future competitors have longer operating histories and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources. As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities, technologies and customer requirements. Many of these companies also can use their greater name recognition and more extensive customer base to gain market share at our expense. Competitors may be able to undertake more extensive promotional activities, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and offer more attractive terms to purchasers. Current and potential competitors may bundle their products to discourage users from purchasing our products. In addition, competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to enhance their products. Accordingly, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share. Competitive pressures may make it difficult for us to acquire and retain customers and may require us to reduce the price of our products. We may be unable to compete successfully with current or new competitors.

Our success and competitive position will depend on our ability to protect our proprietary technology.

        Our success and ability to compete are dependent to a significant degree on our proprietary technology. Although we hold a U.S. patent, issued in January 1998, on elements of the BroadVision One-To-One Enterprise product and a U.S. patent acquired as part of the Interleaf acquisition on the elements of the extensible electronic document processing system for creating new classes of active documents, these patents may not provide an adequate level of intellectual property protection. In addition, litigation like the lawsuit we filed against Art Technology Group, which was settled in February 2000, may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. We cannot guarantee that infringement or other claims will not be asserted or prosecuted against us in the future, whether resulting from our intellectual property or licenses from third parties. Claims or litigation, whether successful or unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and diversions of resources, either of which could harm our business.

        We also rely on copyright, trademark, service mark, trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary rights in products and services. We have registered "BroadVision" and "BroadVision One-To-One" as trademarks in the United States and in other countries. It is possible that our competitors or other companies will adopt product names similar to these trademarks, impeding our ability to build brand identity and possibly confusing customers.

        As a matter of company policy, we enter into confidentiality and assignment agreements with our employees, consultants and vendors. We also control access to and distribution of our software, documents and other proprietary information. Notwithstanding these precautions, it may be possible for an unauthorized third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our software or other proprietary information or to develop similar software independently. Policing unauthorized use of our products will be difficult, particularly because the global nature of the Internet makes it difficult to control the ultimate destination or security of software and other transmitted data. The laws of other countries may afford us little or no effective protection of our intellectual property.

A breach of the encryption technology that we use could expose the company to liability and harm our reputation, causing a loss of customers.

        If any breach of the security technology embedded in our products were to occur, we would be exposed to liability and our reputation could be harmed, which could cause us to lose customers. A significant barrier to online commerce and communication is the secure exchange of valuable and confidential information over public networks. We rely on encryption and authentication technology, including public key cryptography technology licensed from RSA Security Inc., to provide the security and authentication necessary to affect the secure exchange of confidential information. Advances in

48



computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other events or developments could cause a breach of the RSA or other algorithms that we use to protect customer transaction data.

We could be subject to claims of intellectual property infringement, which could divert management resources, cause product delays or require that we enter into licensing or royalty agreements.

        Third parties may claim that we have infringed their patent, trademark, copyright or other proprietary rights. It is also possible that claims will be made for indemnification resulting from allegations of infringement. In addition, intellectual property infringement claims may be asserted against us as a result of the use by us, our customers or other third parties of our products for the transmission, dissemination or display of information on the Internet. Any claims, with or without merit, could be time consuming, costly, cause product shipment delays or require that we enter into royalty or licensing agreements. These licenses might not be available on reasonable terms, or at all.

The loss or malfunction of technology licensed from third parties could delay the introduction of our products and services.

        We rely in part on technology that we license from third parties, including relational database management systems from Oracle, Sybase, and Informix object request broker software from IONA Technologies PLC, database access technology from Rogue Wave Software and other software. We integrate or sublicense this technology with internally developed software to perform key functions. For example, our products and services incorporate data encryption and authentication technology licensed from RSA. Third-party technology licenses might not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Moreover, the licensed technology may contain defects that we cannot control. The loss of any of these technology licenses could cause delays in introducing our products or services until equivalent technology, if available, is identified, licensed and integrated. Delays in introducing our products and services could harm our business.

Our executive officers, key employees and highly skilled technical and managerial personnel are critical to our business, and they may not remain with us in the future.

        Our performance substantially depends on the performance of our executive officers and key employees. We also rely on our ability to retain and motivate qualified personnel, especially our management and highly skilled development teams. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers or key employees, particularly our founder and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Pehong Chen, could cause us to incur increased operating expenses and divert senior management resources in searching for replacements. The loss of their services also could harm our reputation if our customers were to become concerned about our future operations. We do not carry "key person" life insurance policies on any of our employees. Our future success also depends on our continuing ability to identify, hire, train and retain other highly qualified technical and managerial personnel. Competition for these personnel is intense, especially in the Internet industry. We have in the past experienced, and may continue to experience, difficulty in hiring and retaining sufficient numbers of highly skilled employees. The significant downturn in our business environment has had a negative impact on our operations. We are currently restructuring our operations and have taken actions to reduce our workforce and implement other cost containment activities. These actions could lead to disruptions in our business, reduced employee morale and productivity, increased attrition and problems with retaining existing employees and recruiting future employees and increased financial costs.

Limitations on the online collection of profile information could impair the effectiveness of our products.

        Online users' resistance to providing personal data and laws and regulations prohibiting use of personal data gathered online without express consent or requiring businesses to notify their web site

49



visitors of the possible dissemination of their personal data could limit the effectiveness of our products.

        One of the principal features of the BroadVision products is the ability to develop and maintain profiles of online users to assist business managers in determining the nature of the content to be provided to these online users. Typically, profile information is captured when consumers, business customers and employees visit a web site and volunteer information in response to survey questions concerning their backgrounds, interests and preferences. Profiles can be augmented over time through the subsequent collection of usage data.

        Although BroadVision products are designed to enable the development of applications that permit web site visitors to prevent the distribution of any of their personal data beyond that specific web site, privacy concerns may nevertheless cause visitors to resist providing the personal data necessary to support this profiling capability. The mere perception by prospective customers that substantial security and privacy concerns exist among online users, whether or not valid, may indirectly inhibit market acceptance of our products. In addition, new laws and regulations could heighten privacy concerns by requiring businesses to notify web site users that the data captured from them while online may be used by marketing entities to direct product messages to them.

        We are subject to increasing regulation at the federal and state levels relating to online privacy and the use of personal user information. Several states have proposed legislation that would limit the uses of personal user information gathered online or require online services to establish privacy policies.

        In addition, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, has urged Congress to adopt legislation regarding the collection and use of personal identifying information obtained from individuals when accessing Web sites. In the past, the emphasis has been on information obtained from minors. Focus has now shifted to include online privacy protections for adults. These regulations may include requirements that companies establish procedures to, among other things: give adequate notice to users regarding information collection and disclosure practices; provide users with the ability to have personal information deleted from a company's database; provide users with access to their collected personal information and the ability to correct inaccuracies; clearly identify affiliations with third parties that may collect information or sponsor activities on another company's Web site; and obtain express parental consent prior to collecting and using personal information from children under 13 years of age.

        The FTC has settled several proceedings resulting in consent decrees in which Internet companies have been required to establish programs regarding the manner in which personal information is collected from users and provided to third parties. We could become a party to a similar enforcement proceeding. These regulatory and enforcement efforts could also harm our customers' ability to collect demographic and personal information from users, which could impair the effectiveness of our products.

New and existing laws could either directly restrict our business or indirectly affect our business by limiting the growth of Internet commerce.

        The adoption of any laws or regulations that restrict our methods of doing business or limit the growth of the Internet could decrease demand for our products and services and increase our cost of doing business. Today, there are relatively few laws specifically directed towards online services.

        However, due to the increasing popularity of the Internet generally and Internet commerce specifically, we expect that federal, state or foreign agencies will enact laws and regulations with respect to the Internet. These new laws and regulations would be likely to address issues like online user privacy, pricing, content and quality of products and services. If enacted, these laws and regulations could limit the market for our products and services.

50



        For example, because our products involve the solicitation of personal data regarding individual consumers, our business could be limited by laws regulating the solicitation, collection or processing of this data. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 prohibits the transmission of some types of information and content over the Internet. The prohibition's scope and the liability associated with a Telecommunications Act violation are currently unsettled. Legislation imposing potential liability upon us for information carried on or disseminated through our products would likely cause us to implement costly measures to reduce our exposure to this liability or to discontinue some of our services.

        Our business could be harmed by the expense involved in reacting to actual or potential liability associated with the Telecommunications Act or other Internet-related laws and regulations. In addition, the increased attention focused upon liability issues as a result of the Telecommunications Act could limit the growth of Internet commerce, which could decrease demand for our products.

        The United States government regulates the export of technology, including encryption technology, which our products incorporate. Export regulations, either in their current form or as may be subsequently enacted, may limit our ability to distribute our software outside the United States. Any revocation or modification of our export authority or adoption of new laws or regulations relating to the export of software and encryption technology could limit our international operations. The unlawful export of our software could also harm our reputation. Although we take precautions against unlawful export of their software, the global nature of the Internet makes it difficult to effectively control the distribution of software.

The imposition of sales and other taxes on products sold by our customers over the Internet could have a negative effect on online commerce and, as a result, on demand for our products.

        The imposition of new sales or other taxes could limit the growth of Internet commerce generally and, as a result, the demand for our products. Recent federal legislation limits the imposition of state and local taxes on Internet-related sales. Congress has passed the Internet Tax Freedom Act, which places a moratorium through November 2003 on state and local taxes on Internet access, unless the tax was already imposed prior to October 1, 1998, and discriminatory taxes on electronic commerce.

        We believe that, in accordance with current industry practice, most companies that sell products over the Internet do not currently collect sales or other taxes on shipments of their products into states or foreign countries where they are not physically present. It is possible that one or more states or foreign countries may seek to impose sales or other tax collection obligation on out-of-jurisdiction companies that engage in electronic commerce.

        A successful assertion by one or more states or foreign countries that companies engaged in electronic commerce should collect sales or other taxes on the sale of their products over the Internet, even though not physically present in the state or foreign country, could indirectly reduce demand for our products.

Our stock price has been and is likely to continue to be highly volatile.

        The trading price of our common stock has been and is likely to continue to be highly volatile. Our stock price is subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors, including:

51


        In addition, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the trading prices of equity securities of many high technology companies. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies.

        Any negative change in the public's perception of the prospects of Internet or electronic commerce companies could further depress our stock price regardless of our results. Other broad market fluctuations may decrease the trading price of our common stock. In the past, following declines in the market price of a company's securities, securities class action litigation, such as the class action lawsuits filed against us and certain of our officers and directors in early 2001, has often been instituted against that company. Litigation could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources.


ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

        Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio. We had no derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2002 and 2001. We place our investments in instruments that meet high credit quality standards and the amount of credit exposure to any one issue, issuer and type of instrument is limited.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Short-Term Investments, Long-Term Investments

        We consider all debt and equity securities with remaining maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Our short-term investments consist of debt and equity securities that are classified as available-for-sale. Our debt securities are carried at fair value with related unrealized gains or losses reported as other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Our long-term investments include debt securities that are classified as available-for-sale. These securities have remaining maturities greater than one year from December 31, 2002. These investments are carried at fair value with related unrealized gains or losses reported as other comprehensive income, net of tax.

        All short term investments have a remaining maturity of twelve months or less. Total short-term and long-term investment unrealized gains (losses) were $(1.7) million and $2.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Total realized gains during fiscal 2002 and 2001 were $719,000 and $2.0 million, respectively, and are included in other income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

        Remaining maturities of our long-term investments as of December 31, 2002 are as follows:

 
  2004

Corporate notes/bonds   $ 587

Concentrations of Credit Risk

        Financial assets that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments with over seven separate financial institutions. The Company markets and sells its products throughout the world and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, no one customer accounted for more than 10% of fiscal year total revenue. As of December 31, 2002 one customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2001, no one customer individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company's accounts receivable.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        Our financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. We do not have any derivative financial instruments. We believe the reported carrying amounts of its financial instruments approximates fair value, based upon the short maturity of cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable and payable, and based on the current rates available to it on similar debt issues.

Equity Investments

        Our equity investments consist of equity investments in public and non-public companies that are accounted for under either the cost method of accounting or the equity method of accounting. Equity investments are accounted for under the cost method of accounting when we have a minority interest and do not have the ability to exercise significant influence. These investments are classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value when readily determinable market values exist or at cost

53



when such market values do not exist. Adjustments to fair value are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income unless the investments are considered permanently impaired in which case the adjustment is recorded as a component of other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations. Equity investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting when we have a minority interest and have the ability to exercise significant influence. These investments are classified as available for sale and are carried at cost with periodic adjustments to carrying value for equity in net income (loss) of the equity investee. Such adjustments are recorded as a component of other income, net. Any decline in value of our investments, which is other than a temporary decline, is charged to earnings during the period in which the impairment occurs.

        The total fair value of our cost method long-term equity investments in public and non-public companies as of December 31, 2002 was $2.1 million. This includes $12.6 million of write-downs during 2002 of investments due to an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. There were no unrealized gains or losses recorded to date and for the year ended December 31, 2002 related to long-term equity investments.


ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

        The following consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto of BroadVision, Inc. and the Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants are filed as a part of this Form 10K.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To The Board of Directors and Stockholders of BroadVision, Inc. and Subsidiaries:

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of BroadVision, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated financial statements of BroadVision, Inc. as of December 31, 2001, and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2001, prior to the revisions discussed in Notes 1 and 4, were audited by other independent accountants who have ceased operations. Those independent accountants expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements in their report dated March 29, 2002.

        We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the 2002 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BroadVision, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

        As disclosed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, upon adoption of new accounting pronouncements effective during 2002, the Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets, and its method of accounting for reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses.

        As discussed above, the consolidated financial statements of BroadVision, Inc. as of December 31, 2001, and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2001, were audited by other independent accountants who have ceased operations. As described in Note 1, these financial statements have been restated to include the transitional disclosures required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2002, and to reclassify reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 01-14 "Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out of Pocket Expenses Incurred," also adopted by the Company on January 1, 2002. We audited the transitional disclosures for 2001 and 2000 described in Notes 1. We also audited the adjustments described in Note 4 that were applied to restate the 2001 and 2000 consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, all such adjustments and transitional disclosures are appropriate and have been properly applied. However, we were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2001 or 2000 consolidated financial statements of the company other than with respect to such adjustments and transitional disclosures and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2001 and 2000 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of BroadVision, Inc. and Subsidiaries:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2002

Note 1—Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business

        BroadVision, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Delaware on May 13, 1993 and has been a publicly traded corporation since 1996. BroadVision develops, markets, and supports enterprise portal applications that enable companies to unify their e-business infrastructure and conduct both interactions and transactions with employees, partners, and customers through a personalized self-service model that increases revenues, reduces costs, and improves productivity. As of December 31, 2002, more than 1,200 leading companies and government entities around the globe use BroadVision applications to enable their portal-based commerce and information access initiatives. As of December 31, 2002, more than 100 partner firms around the world are working to ensure the Company's joint customers' success through complementary technology, applications, tools, and services offerings that extend and enhance customers' BroadVision implementations.

Acquisitions

        On June 29, 2001, the Company completed its acquisition of Keyeon LLC, or "Keyeon", formerly a joint venture in which the Company held an interest of approximately 36%. As consideration for the acquisition, the Company issued 301,475 shares of its common stock valued at $13.6 million to the other former participants in the joint venture, which resulted in the Company owning 100% of the outstanding shares of Keyeon. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The acquired assets and assumed liabilities, and the related results of operations, are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date of acquisition (See Note 2).

        On April 14, 2000, the Company completed its acquisition of Interleaf, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Interleaf") pursuant to a statutory merger involving a stock-for-stock exchange. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The acquired assets and assumed liabilities, and the related results of operations, are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date of acquisition. Net assets were recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired is included in goodwill and other intangible assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Amounts allocated to in-process technology were expensed in the period in which the acquisition was consummated (see Note 2).

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the Company's opinion, the consolidated financial statements presented herein include all necessary adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, to fairly state the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods indicated. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain assumptions and estimates that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from estimates.

63



Revenue Recognition

Overview

        The Company's revenue consists of fees for licenses of the Company's software products, maintenance, consulting services and customer training. The Company generally charges fees for licenses of its software products either based on the number of persons registered to use the product or based on the number of Central Processing Units ("CPUs") on which the product is installed. Licenses for software whereby fees charged are based upon the number of persons registered to use the product are differentiated between licenses for development use and licenses for use in deployment of the customer's website. Licenses for software whereby fees charged are on a per-CPU basis do not differentiate between development and deployment usage. The Company's revenue recognition policies are in accordance with Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended; SOP No. 98-9, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions and the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.

Software License Revenue

        The Company licenses its products through its direct sales force and indirectly through resellers. In general, software license revenues are recognized when a non-cancelable license agreement has been signed and the customer acknowledges an unconditional obligation to pay, the software product has been delivered, there are no uncertainties surrounding product acceptance, the fees are fixed and determinable and collection is considered probable. Delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer, which generally occurs when media containing the licensed programs is provided to a common carrier. In case of electronic delivery, delivery occurs when the customer is given access to the licensed programs. If collectibility is not considered probable, revenue is recognized when the fee is collected. Subscription-based license revenues are recognized ratably over the subscription period. The Company enters into reseller arrangements that typically provide for sublicense fees payable to the Company based upon a percentage of list price. The Company does not grant its resellers the right of return.

        The Company recognizes revenue using the residual method pursuant to the requirements of SOP No. 97-2, as amended by SOP No. 98-9. Revenues recognized from multiple-element software arrangements are allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the fair values of the elements, such as licenses for software products, maintenance, consulting services or customer training. The determination of fair value is based on objective evidence, which is specific to the Company. The Company limits its assessment of objective evidence for each element to either the price charged when the same element is sold separately or the price established by management having the relevant authority to do so, for an element not yet sold separately. If evidence of fair value of all undelivered elements exists but evidence does not exist for one or more delivered elements, then revenue is recognized using the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue.

        The Company records unearned revenue for software license agreements when cash has been received from the customer and the agreement does not qualify for revenue recognition under the

64



Company's revenue recognition policy. The Company records accounts receivable for software license agreements when the agreement qualifies for revenue recognition but cash or other consideration has not been received from the customer.

Services Revenue

        Consulting services revenues and customer training revenues are recognized as such services are performed. Maintenance revenues, which include revenues bundled with software license agreements that entitle the customers to technical support and future unspecified enhancements to the Company's products, are deferred and recognized ratably over the related agreement period, generally twelve months.

        The Company's consulting services, which consist of consulting, maintenance and training, are delivered through BVGS. Services that the Company provides are not essential to the functionality of the software. In accordance with EITF 01-14, which the Company adopted as of January 1, 2002, the Company records reimbursement by its customers for out-of-pocket expenses as an increase to services revenues. Prior to January 1, 2002, the Company recorded reimbursement by its customers for out-of-pocket expenses as a decrease to cost of services. The Company's results of operations for the years ended 2001 and 2000 have been reclassified for comparable purposes in accordance with EITF 01-14. The effect of this reclassification was to increase services revenues and increase cost of services for the year ended 2001 and 2000 by $3.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

Research and Development and Software Development Costs

        Under the criteria set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 86, Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed, development costs incurred in the research and development of new software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility in the form of a working model has been established at which time such costs are capitalized and recorded at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. The costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of a working model but prior to general release of the product have not been significant. To date, the Company has not capitalized any costs related to the development of software for external use.

Advertising Costs

        Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense is included in sales and marketing expense and amounted to $571,000, $1.8 million and $2.9 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Prepaid Royalties

        Prepaid royalties relating to purchased software to be incorporated and sold with the Company's software products are amortized as a cost of software licenses either on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the royalty agreement or on the basis of projected product revenues, whichever results in greater amortization.

65



Allowances and Reserves

        Occasionally, the Company's customers experience financial difficulty after the Company records the sale but before payment has been received. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company's normal payment terms are 30 to 90 days from invoice date. If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required

Restructuring

        The Company's Restructuring charges are comprised primarily of: (i) severance and benefits termination costs related to the reduction of the Company's workforce; (ii) lease termination costs and/or costs associated with permanently vacating its facilities; and (iii) impairment costs related to certain long-lived assets abandoned. The Company accounts for each of these costs in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 100, Restructuring and Impairment Charges

        The Company accounts for severance and benefits termination costs in accordance with EITF Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring) (EITF 94-3). Accordingly, the Company records the liability related to these termination costs when the following conditions have been met: (i) management with the appropriate level of authority approves a termination plan that commits the Company to such plan and establishes the benefits the employees will receive upon termination; (ii) the benefit arrangement is communicated to the employees in sufficient detail to enable the employees to determine the termination benefits; (iii) the plan specifically identifies the number of employees to be terminated, their locations and their job classifications; and (iv) the period of time to implement the plan does not indicate changes to the plan are likely. The termination costs recorded by the Company are not associated with nor do they benefit continuing activities.

        The Company accounts for the costs associated with lease termination and/or abandonment in accordance with EITF 88-10. Accordingly, the Company records the costs associated with lease termination and/or abandonment when the leased property has no substantive future use or benefit to the Company. Under EITF 88-10, the Company records the liability associated with lease termination and/or abandonment as the sum of the total remaining lease costs and related exit costs, less probable sublease income. The Company accounts for costs related to long-lived assets abandoned in accordance with SFAS 144 and, accordingly, charges to expense the net carrying value of the long-lived assets when the Company ceases to use the assets.

        Inherent in the estimation of the costs related to the Company's Restructuring efforts are assessments related to the most likely expected outcome of the significant actions to accomplish the Restructuring. In determining the charge related to the Restructuring, the majority of estimates made by management related to the charge for excess facilities. In determining the charge for excess facilities, the Company was required to estimate future sublease income, future net operating expenses of the facilities, and brokerage commissions, among other expenses. The most significant of these estimates related to the timing and extent of future sublease income in which to reduce the Company's lease obligations. Specifically, in determining the Restructuring obligations related to facilities as of

66



December 31, 2002, the Company reduced its lease obligations by estimated sublease income of $28.8 million. The Company based its estimates of sublease income, in part, on the opinions of independent real estate experts, current market conditions and rental rates, an assessment of the time period over which reasonable estimates could be made, the status of negotiations with potential subtenants, and the location of the respective facility, among other factors.

        These estimates, along with other estimates made by management in connection with the Restructuring, may vary significantly depending, in part, on factors that may be beyond the Company's control. Specifically, these estimates will depend on the Company's success in negotiating with lessors, the time periods required to locate and contract suitable subleases and the market rates at the time of such subleases. Adjustments to the facilities reserve will be required if actual lease exit costs or sublease income differ from amounts currently expected. The Company will review the status of Restructuring activities on a quarterly basis and, if appropriate, record changes to its Restructuring obligations in current operations based on management's most current estimates.

Legal Matters

        The Company's current estimated range of liability related to pending litigation is based on claims for which it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the Company can estimate the amount and range of loss. The Company has recorded the minimum estimated liability related to those claims, where there is a range of loss. Because of the uncertainties related to both the determination of the probability of an unfavorable outcome and the amount and range of loss in the event of an unfavorable outcome, the Company is unable to make a reasonable estimate of the liability that could result from the remaining pending litigation. As additional information becomes available, the Company will assess the potential liability related to its pending litigation and revise its estimates, if necessary. Such revisions in the Company's estimates of the potential liability could materially impact the Company's results of operations and financial position.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Short-Term Investments, Long-Term Investments

        The Company considers all debt and equity securities with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company's short-term investments consist of debt and equity securities that are classified as available-for-sale. The Company's debt securities are carried at fair value with related unrealized gains or losses reported as other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. The Company's long-term investments include debt securities that are classified as available-for-sale. These securities have remaining maturities greater than one year from December 31, 2002. These investments are carried at fair value with related unrealized gains or losses reported as other comprehensive income, net of tax.

        All short term investments have a remaining maturity of twelve months or less. Total short-term and long-term investment unrealized gains (losses) were $(1.7) million and $2.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Total realized gains during fiscal 2002 and 2001 were $719,000 and $2.0 million, respectively, and are included in other income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

        Financial assets that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments with over seven separate financial institutions. The Company markets and sells its products throughout the world and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, no one customer accounted for more than 10% of fiscal year total revenue. As of December 31, 2002, one customer individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company's accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2001, no one customer individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company's accounts receivable.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, restricted cash and investments, long-term investments, equity investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. The Company does not have any derivative financial instruments. The Company believes the reported carrying amounts of its financial instruments approximates fair value, based upon the maturities and nature of its cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, long-term investments, restricted cash and investments, accounts receivable and payable, and based on the current rates available to it on similar debt issues. Additionally, the Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of all of its investments for other-than-temporary impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the book value of an asset may not be recoverable. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amounts by which the carrying amount exceeds its fair market value.

Equity Investments

        The Company's equity investments consist of equity investments in public and non-public companies that are accounted for under either the cost method of accounting or the equity method of accounting. The Company had no equity method investments as of December 31, 2002. Equity investments are accounted for under the cost method of accounting when the Company has a minority interest and does not have the ability to exercise significant influence. These investments are classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value when readily determinable market values exist or at cost when such market values do not exist. Adjustments to fair value are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income unless the investments are considered permanently impaired in which case the adjustment is recorded as a component of other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations. Equity investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting when the Company has a minority interest and has the ability to exercise significant influence. These investments are classified as available for sale and are carried at cost with periodic adjustments to carrying value for equity in net income (loss) of the equity investee. Such adjustments are recorded as a component of other income, net. Any decline in value of the Company's investments, which is other than a temporary decline, is charged to earnings during the period in which the impairment occurs.

        The total fair value of the Company's cost method long-term equity investments in public and non-public companies as of December 31, 2002 was $2.1 million. This includes $12.6 million of write-

69



downs during 2002 of investments due to an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. There were no unrealized gains or losses recorded to date and for the year ended December 31, 2002 related to long-term equity investments.

Property and Equipment

        Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives (two to eight years). Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the remaining life of the lease term or their estimated useful lives. Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $18.2 million. The Company recorded asset impairments of approximately $18.9 million during fiscal 2002 in connection with the Company's restructuring plan, which is included in the Company's restructuring charge recorded in the Company's Statement of Operations. The Company also recorded a $3.1 million impairment of assets related to results from the Company's asset physical inventories during 2002.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

        The Company periodically assesses the impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of. The Company assesses the impairment of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 121, SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142 as of January 1, 2002. Please see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Employee Stock Option and Purchase Plans

        The Company accounts for employee stock-based awards in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 44 (FIN 44), Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation—an Interpretation of APB No. 25, and related interpretations. As such, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. Pursuant to SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company discloses the pro forma effects of using the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees For Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services.

        We apply Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion Number 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations when accounting for our stock option and stock purchase plans. In accordance with APB No. 25, we apply the intrinsic value method in accounting for employee stock options. Accordingly, we generally recognize no compensation expense with respect to stock-based awards to employees.

70



        During the year ended December 31, 2002 the Company recorded compensation expense of $846,000. This charge was recorded as a result of granting terminated employees continued vesting of their stock options for a period beyond their actual termination date. The compensation charge was calculated using the Black-Scholes model. $739,000 of the charge is recorded in general and administrative expense and the remaining $107,000 is included in restructuring charge as it related to employees terminated under the Company's restructuring plan.

        We have determined pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share as if we had accounted for employee stock options under the fair value method as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") Number 123, Accounting for Stock Compensation. The fair value of these stock-based awards to employees was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Please see Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plan and employee stock purchase plan been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company's reported net income (loss) and net earnings (loss) per share would have been changed to the amounts indicated below (in thousands except per share data):

Stock Splits

        On July 24, 2002, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a one-for-nine reverse split of our common stock. The reverse split was effective as of 8:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on July 29, 2002. Each nine shares of outstanding common stock of the Company automatically converted into one share of common stock. Our common stock began trading on a post-split basis at the opening of trading on the Nasdaq National Market on July 30, 2002. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related financial information contained herein have been retroactively restated to give effect for the July 2002 stock split.

        On February 8, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors declared an additional three-for-one common stock split in the form of a stock dividend for Stockholders of record as of February 21, 2000.

71



The stock dividend payment date was March 13, 2000 and the Company's common stock traded ex-dividend starting March 14, 2000, reflecting the additional three-for-one stock split.

        On September 29, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors declared a three-for-one common stock split in the form of a stock dividend for Stockholders of record as of October 11, 1999. The stock dividend payment date was October 25, 1999 and the Company's common stock traded ex-dividend starting October 26, 1999, reflecting the three-for-one stock split.

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related financial information contained herein have been retroactively restated to give effect for the July, 2002 reverse stock split and the February 2000 and September 1999 stock splits.

Per Share Information

        Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding less shares subject to repurchase. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and, when dilutive, common equivalent shares from outstanding stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method and shares subject to repurchase. The following table sets forth the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share computational data for the periods presented. Excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, are options and warrants to acquire 552,000, 1,229,000 and 3,973,000 shares of common stock, respectively, because their effects would be anti-dilutive.

Foreign Currency Transactions

        The functional currency of the Company's foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of foreign currency assets and liabilities are included in other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

72



Comprehensive Income (Loss)

        Comprehensive income (loss) includes the Company's net income (loss) and all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by or distributions to owners.

        For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, comprehensive loss was ($165.2) million, ($837.2) million, and $(191.9) million, respectively. The components of other comprehensive income (loss) for these periods relate solely to unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments.

Income Taxes and Deferred Tax Assets

        Income taxes are computed using an asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of the enacted tax law; the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

        The Company analyzes its deferred tax assets with regard to potential realization. The Company has established a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets to the extent that management has determined that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized based upon the uncertainty of their realization. The Company has considered estimated future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the amount of the valuation allowance. Based upon this analysis, the Company recorded a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets during the three months ended June 30, 2002, which increased to 100% its valuation allowance and resulted in a charge of $6.3 million included in the provision for income taxes in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Segment and Geographic Information

        The Company operates in one segment, electronic commerce business solutions. The Company's chief operating decision maker is considered to be the Company's CEO. The CEO reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues by geographic region and by product for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.

Reclassifications

        Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements

        In January 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached consensus on EITF 01-14 on the topic of Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out of Pocket Expenses Incurred. This topic addresses whether reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses incurred should be characterized in the income statement as revenue or as a

73



reduction of expenses incurred. The EITF concluded that reimbursements received for out of pocket expenses incurred should be characterized as revenue in the income statement. This announcement will be applied in financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2001, and comparative financial statements for prior periods will be reclassified to comply with the guidance in this announcement. The Company is currently recording reimbursement by its customers for out-of-pocket expenses as a component of services revenue. Prior to adoption of EITF 01-14 on January 1, 2002, the Company recorded reimbursement by its customers for out-of-pocket expenses as a reduction to cost of sales. Prior periods have been reclassified to comply with the guidance of EITF 01-14. The effect of this reclassification was to increase services revenues and increase cost of services for fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000 by $3.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

        In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit Activities, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit activities and supersedes Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. This differs from EITF 94-3, which required that a liability for an exit cost be recognized at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. However, under SFAS No. 146, a liability for one-time termination benefits is recognized when an entity has committed to a plan of termination, provided certain other requirements have been met. In addition, under SFAS No. 146, a liability for costs to terminate a contract is not recognized until the contract has been terminated, and a liability for costs that will continue to be incurred under a contract's remaining term without economic benefit to the entity is recognized when the entity ceases to use the right conveyed by the contract. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 146 for restructuring activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 146 will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.

        In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue 00-21, addressing how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services, and/or rights to use assets. Revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables are divided into separate units of accounting if the deliverables in the arrangement meet the following criteria: (1) the delivered item has value to the customer on a standalone basis; (2) there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of undelivered items; and (3) delivery of any undelivered item is probable. Arrangement consideration should be allocated among the separate units of accounting based on their relative fair values, with the amount allocated to the delivered item being limited to the amount that is not contingent on the delivery of additional items or meeting other specified performance conditions. The final consensus will be applicable to agreements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003 with early adoption permitted. The provisions of this Consensus are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's financial position or operating results.

        In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others", which clarifies disclosure and recognition/measurement requirements related to certain guarantees. The

74



disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements issued after December 15, 2002 and the recognition/measurement requirements are effective on a prospective basis for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The application of the requirements of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

        In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation- Transition and Disclosure. This Statement amends SFAS No. 123, Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The disclosure provisions of this Standard are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002 and have been incorporated into these financial statements and accompanying footnotes.

        In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," which addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities that either: (1) do not have sufficient equity investment at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (2) the equity investors lack an essential characteristic of a controlling financial interest. FIN 46 requires disclosure of Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) in financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, if it is reasonably possible that as of the transition date: (1) the company will be the primary beneficiary of an existing VIE that will require consolidation or, (2) the company will hold a significant variable interest in, or have significant involvement with, an existing VIE. The company does not have any entities that will require disclosure or new consolidation as a result of adopting the provisions of FIN 46.

Note 2—Acquired and Disposed Businesses

Keyeon

        On June 29, 2001, the Company completed its acquisition of Keyeon, LLC ("Keyeon"), formerly a joint venture in which the Company held an interest of approximately 36%. The acquisition was completed primarily to obtain technology to extend functionality of the Company's existing products. As consideration for the remaining interest in Keyeon, the Company issued 301,475 shares of its common stock valued at $13.6 million to the other former participants in the joint venture which resulted in the Company owning 100% of the outstanding shares of Keyeon, LLC. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The acquired assets and assumed liabilities, and the related results of operations, are

75



included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date of acquisition. The purchase price allocation is as follows (in thousands):

Purchase price, net of cash acquired   $ 6,395
Add: fair value of liabilities assumed     4,007
   
Total purchase consideration     10,402
Less: fair value allocated to acquired assets     3,104
   
Excess of purchase consideration over acquired assets and assumed liabilities     7,298
Excess allocated to:      
Acquired in-process technology     6,418
Goodwill     880

        At December 31, 2002, accumulated amortization related to goodwill acquired in the Keyeon acquisition totaled $246,000. Amortization of goodwill ceased as of December 31, 2001. As discussed in Note 1, the Company will no longer amortize goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142 but will periodically test for impairment under the provisions of SFAS No. 142. The Company estimated that $6.4 million of the purchase price for Keyeon represented acquired in-process technology that had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use. Accordingly, this amount was immediately charged to expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the fourth quarter of 2001. The income approach methodology was used to value the acquired in-process technology. Under the income approach, fair value reflects the present value of the projected free cash flows that will be generated by the products, incorporating the acquired technologies under development, assuming they will be successfully completed. These cash flows are discounted at a rate appropriate for the risk of the asset. The rate of return depends upon the stage of completion which was estimated at fifty percent. An overall after-tax discount rate of thirty percent was applied to the cash flows expected to be generated by the products incorporating technology currently under development.

        The following summary, prepared on an unaudited pro forma basis, reflects the condensed consolidated results of operations for the year ended December 30, 2001 and 2000 assuming Keyeon had been acquired at the beginning of the periods presented (in thousands, except per share data):

 
  2001
  2000
 
Revenue   $ 248,423   $ 415,499  
Net loss   $ (834,071 ) $ (163,511 )
Basic and diluted net loss per share   $ (27.18 ) $ (5.66 )

        The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred if the acquisition had been in effect for the period presented. In addition, they are not intended to be a projection of future results and do not reflect any synergies that might be affected from combined operations.

E-Publishing Corporation

        On April 30, 2001 and May 15, 2001, the Company entered into agreements with third parties to sell certain assets and liabilities of E-Publishing Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which the Company acquired as part of the acquisition of Interleaf in April 2000. The Company recorded a loss on sale of assets of approximately $1.3 million. The loss was included in other expense in the Company's second quarter of 2001 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Interleaf

        On April 14, 2000, the Company completed its acquisition of Interleaf, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Interleaf") pursuant to a statutory merger involving a stock-for-stock exchange. Interleaf's software products and related services enable automated electronic business, or e-business, and also enable the extension of e-business to wireless users. Interleaf provides customers with an integrated, easily implemented e-business solution based on extensible Markup Language, or XML, that enables the design, creation and management of XML-based content for transformation and delivery over the Web and related services. As a result of the acquisition, the Company has the ability to combine technological resources to develop a robust Web-based business solution and reduce time to market for the combined Company's products. Through the acquisition of all of the equity securities of Interleaf, BroadVision acquired all of the assets and assumed liabilities of Interleaf and its existing operations which included in-process technology. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of January 26, 2000, each outstanding share of Interleaf common stock was exchanged for 1.0395 shares of Company common stock and all options to purchase shares of Interleaf common stock outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger were converted into options to purchase shares of Company common stock.

        The Company issued 1,599,110 shares of Company common stock with a fair market value of $686.9 million and exchanged options to purchase 259,815 shares of Company common stock with a fair market value of $102.7 million. The fair market value of the exchanged options to purchase 259,815 shares of Company common stock was valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred transaction costs consisting primarily of financial advisor, legal and accounting professional fees of $14.8 million, severance costs of $1.0 million and office closure costs of $1.3 million, resulting in a total purchase price of $806.7 million. The results of operations of Interleaf have been included with the Company's results of operations since the April 14, 2000 acquisition date.

        The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business combination. Under this accounting treatment, the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values on the date of acquisition.

77



        The total purchase price paid for the Interleaf acquisition was allocated as follows (in thousands):

Property and equipment   $ 2,896  
Net tangible liabilities assumed, excluding property and equipment     (1,041 )
Identifiable intangible assets     28,910  
In-process technology     10,100  
Goodwill     765,805  
  Total   $ 806,670  

        The amounts allocated to intangible assets include completed technologies of $20.4 million and assembled workforces of $8.5 million.

        At December 31, 2002, accumulated amortization related to the goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in the Interleaf acquisition totaled $402.2 million. Goodwill amortization was $382.8 million and other intangible asset amortization was $19.3 million. As discussed in Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, during the third quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company performed an impairment assessment of identifiable intangible assets and goodwill recorded in connection with its various acquisitions. The impairment assessment was performed primarily as a result of the significant decline in the Company's stock price, the net book value of assets significantly exceeding the Company's market capitalization, the underperformance of the Interleaf acquisition relative to projections, and the overall decline in industry growth rates which have negatively impacted the Company's revenues and forecasted revenue growth rate which indicate that this trend might continue for an indefinite period. Also, current economic indicators forecast that this trend may continue for an indefinite period. As a result, the Company recorded a $336.4 million impairment charge during the third quarter of 2001 to reduce goodwill by $330.2 million and other intangible assets by $6.2 million associated with the Company's acquisitions, primarily the Interleaf acquisition, to their estimated fair value.

        As further discussed in Note 4, upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, on January 1, 2002, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill. Additionally, upon adoption of SFAS No. 141 and 142, the Company no longer amortizes its non-technology based intangible asset, or assembled workforce. The remaining other intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their remaining useful life of 3 months as of December 31, 2002. Amortization expense is estimated to be $887,000 in 2003.

        The Company estimated that $10.1 million of the purchase price for Interleaf represented acquired in-process technology that had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use. Accordingly, this amount was immediately charged to expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations upon consummation of the acquisition. The value assigned to acquired in-process technology was the amount attributable to the efforts of Interleaf up to the time of acquisition. The amount was estimated through the application of the "stages of completion" by multiplying the estimated present value of future cash flows, excluding, cost of completion, by the percentage of completion of the purchased technology at the time of the acquisition. The discount rate included a factor that took into account the uncertainty surrounding the successful development of the acquired in-process technology.

78



        The following summary, prepared on an unaudited pro forma basis, reflects the condensed consolidated results of operations for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2000, assuming Interleaf had been acquired at the beginning of the period presented (in thousands, except per share data):

 
  2000
 
Revenue   $ 429,162  
Net loss   $ (236,519 )

        On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer subject to amortization

79



but are tested for impairment at least annually using a fair value approach, and whenever there is an impairment indicator. Other intangible assets continue to be valued and amortized over their estimated lives. The following schedule shows the Company's reported net loss for periods prior to adoption of SFAS No. 142 as adjusted to add back goodwill and assembled workforce amortization as if SFAS No. 142 had been adopted:

  Assembled Workforce     0.09     0.07  
  Adjusted diluted net (loss) income per share   $ (20.52 ) $ 0.65  

        During fiscal 2001, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $330.2 million related to goodwill and $6.2 million related to other intangible assets originally recorded primarily as part of the Interleaf acquisition that closed on April 14, 2000.

        Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, the Company is required to test its goodwill for impairment upon adoption and annually or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. While there was no accounting charge to record upon adoption, at September 30, 2002, the Company concluded that, based on the existence of impairment indicators, including a decline in its market value, it would be required to test goodwill for impairment. SFAS No. 142 provides for a two-stage approach to determining whether and by how much goodwill has been impaired. Since the Company has only one reporting unit for purposes of applying SFAS No. 142, the first stage requires a comparison of the fair value of the Company to its net book value. If the fair value is greater, then no impairment is deemed to have occurred. If the fair value is less, then the second stage must be completed to determine the amount, if any, of actual impairment. The Company completed the first stage and has determined that its fair value at September 30, 2002 exceeded its net book value on that date, and as a result, no impairment of goodwill was recorded in the consolidated financial statements. The Company obtained an independent appraisal of fair value to support its conclusion. Additionally, the Company concluded that, based upon the market value of its stock in relation to the Company's net book value at December 31, 2002, there was no impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2002.

        The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is highly subjective and requires significant judgment. In estimating the fair value of the Company, the Company made estimates and

80



judgments about future revenues and cash flows. The Company's forecasts were based on assumptions that are consistent with the plans and estimates the Company is using to manage the business. Changes in these estimates could change the Company's conclusion regarding impairment of goodwill and potentially result in a non-cash goodwill impairment charge, for all or a portion of the goodwill balance at December 31, 2002.

        As discussed in Note 1, upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, on January 1, 2002, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill. Additionally, upon adoption of SFAS No. 141 and 142, the Company no longer amortizes its non-technology based intangible asset, or assembled workforce. The remaining other intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their remaining useful life of 3 months as of December 31, 2002. Amortization expense is estimated to be $887,000 in 2003.

        The Company has various credit facilities with a commercial lender which include term debt in the form of notes payable and a revolving line of credit. In March 2002, the Company renewed and amended its revolving credit facility. The amount available under the revolving line of credit was increased from $10.0 million to $25.0 million. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit are collateralized by all of the Company's assets and bear interest at the bank's prime rate (4.25% as of December 31, 2002). At December 31, 2002, $25.0 million was outstanding and the revolving credit facility is due to expire in March 2003. There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving line of credit as of December 31, 2001. Interest is due monthly and principal is due at expiration. The amended and restated loan and security agreement requires the Company to maintain $80.0 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments (excluding

81



equity investments) and $30.0 million on deposit with the Company's commercial lender. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2002. As of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, outstanding term debt borrowings were approximately $2.9 million and $3.9 million, respectively and consist of two borrowings. Borrowings bear interest at the bank's prime rate (4.25% as of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001) and prime rate plus 1.25% (5.75% as of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001). Principal and interest are due in consecutive monthly payments through maturity based on the terms of the facilities. Principal payments of $977,000 are due annually from 2000 through 2004, $611,000 due in 2005, and a final payment of $357,000 due in 2006.

        As discussed in Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in March 2003, the Company renewed and amended its revolving credit facility. The amount available under the revolving line of credit remains unchanged at $25.0 million. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit are collateralized by all of the Company's assets and bear interest at the bank's prime rate (4.25% as of March 1, 2003). At December 31, 2002, $25.0 million was outstanding and is due to expire in February, 2004. Interest is due monthly and principal is due at expiration. The amended and restated loan and security agreement requires the Company to maintain certain levels in cash and cash equivalents, short-term investment and long-term investments (excluding equity investments). Additionally, the amended and restated loan and security agreement requires the Company to maintain certain levels on deposit with the Company's commercial lender and certain quarterly net income (loss) levels.

        Commitments totaling $16.7 million and $25.0 million in the form of standby letters of credit were issued on the Company's behalf from financial institutions as of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 in favor of the Company's various landlords to secure obligations under the Company's facility leases. The commercial credit facilities include covenants which impose certain restrictions on the payment of dividends and other distributions and require the Company to meet a financial covenant to maintain certain levels of available cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments (excluding equity investments). Borrowings are collateralized by a security interest in substantially all of the Company's owned assets.

        The Company has provided a valuation allowance for all of its deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2002 due to the uncertainty regarding their future realization. The total valuation allowance increased $67,070,000 from December 31, 2001 to December 31, 2002. None of the increase in the valuation allowance relates to income tax benefits arising from the exercise of stock options that will be credited directly to stockholder's equity. The increase in the valuation allowance relates entirely to net operating losses and accrued liabilities.

        As of December 31, 2002, the Company had federal and state operating loss carryforwards of approximately $462,109,000 and $144,308,000 respectively, available to offset future regular and alternative minimum taxable income. In addition, the Company had federal and state research and development credit carryforwards of approximately $10,707,000 and $2,222,000 respectively, available to offset future tax liabilities. The Company's federal net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards expire in the years 2003 through 2022, if not utilized. The state net operating loss carryforwards expire in the years 2004 through 2012. The state research and development credits can be carried forward indefinitely. As of December 31, 2002, the Company's foreign subsidiaries had net operating loss carryforwards of $2,291,000 that can be used to offset future foreign income.

        Federal and state tax laws limit the use of net operating loss carryforwards in certain situations where changes occur in the stock ownership of a company. The Company believes such an ownership change, as defined, may have occurred and, accordingly, certain of the Company's federal and state operating loss carryforwards may be limited in their annual usage.

Note 8—Commitments and Contingencies

        On February 15, 2002, BroadVision and Hewlett-Packard signed an agreement, which terminated Hewlett-Packard's rights to resell BroadVision software effective February 15, 2002. In the event BroadVision becomes insolvent, files a petition for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code, or materially breaches the agreement, Hewlett-Packard will have rights to a limited term license for BroadVision's business-to-business customer portals software products and a limited use license for BroadVision's One-to-One Enterprise software product. Hewlett-Packard's license will be limited in term until such time as Hewlett-Packard has received monies for sale of the products up to a maximum of $12.0 million. In addition, the Company will pay back to Hewlett-Packard a portion of the unused prepaid royalty payments, received from Hewlett-Packard in prior periods totaling approximately $2.4 million. This amount was included in Unearned Revenue as of December 31, 2001, and this amount was reclassified to Accrued Liabilities in fiscal 2002. The amount due is payable in quarterly installments by December 31, 2003.

Leases

        The Company leases its headquarters facility and its other facilities under noncancelable operating lease agreements expiring through the year 2013. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company is required to pay property taxes, insurance and normal maintenance costs.

        A summary of total future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating lease agreements, together with amounts included in restructuring reserves is as follows (in thousands); properties that are part of the restructuring have been included:

Year Ended December 31,

  Total future minimum lease payments
2003   $ 26,281
2004     25,855
2005     25,652
2006     22,620
2007     20,495
2008 and thereafter     81,487
   
Total minimum lease payments     202,390

        As of December 31, 2002, $129.4 million of future minimum lease payments, net of anticipated sublease income, is accrued in the Company's restructuring accruals. The restructuring accruals are net of approximately $44.8 million of sublease income of which approximately $28.8 million represents estimated sublease income for sublease agreements yet to be negotiated and the remaining $16.0 million represents sublease income to be received under non-cancelable sublease agreements signed by December 31, 2002. See Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Standby Letter of Credit Commitments

        As of December 31, 2002, the Company had $16.7 million of outstanding commitments in the form of standby letters of credit in favor of the Company's various landlords to secure obligations under the Company's facility leases.

Legal Proceedings

        In April 2001, the Company filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission reporting that several purported class action lawsuits had been filed against the Company and certain of its officers and directors. In each of the lawsuits, the plaintiffs sought to assert claims on behalf of a class of all persons who purchased securities of BroadVision between January 26, 2001 and April 2, 2001. The complaints alleged that BroadVision and the individual defendants violated federal securities laws in connection with its reporting of financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2000. The lawsuits were consolidated into a single action. On November 5, 2001, BroadVision and the individual defendants filed motions to dismiss the consolidated complaint. On February 22, 2002, the Court granted these motions, dismissed the consolidated complaint without prejudice and ordered the lead plaintiff to file an amended complaint within 30 days. On March 25, 2002, the plaintiff filed its Second Amended Consolidated Complaint, which added claims for breach of fiduciary duty and named members of the Company's board of directors as additional defendants. All defendants filed motions to dismiss the Second Amended Consolidated Complaint on May 10, 2002. The hearing on the defendant's motion to dismiss was heard on August 30, 2002. On September 11, 2002, the Court (1) dismissed with prejudice the claims that the defendants violated federal securities laws, on the basis that the complaint failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted, and (2) dismissed without prejudice the claims for breach of fiduciary duty, on the basis that the claims were made under state law and, in the absence of any remaining federal law claims, the Court would decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction. The Company is not aware of plaintiffs filing an appeal of the Court's September 11, 2002 decision or filing another complaint in any other court. The Company believes that the action was without merit and will continue to defend itself vigorously should plaintiffs continue to pursue any of these claims.

        On June 7, 2001, Verity, Inc. filed suit against the Company alleging copyright infringement, breach of contract, unfair competition and other claims. The Company has answered the complaint denying all allegations and is defending itself vigorously. The trial date is set for July 14, 2003 in San Jose, California, in the United States District Court, Northern District, San Jose Division. The Company is unable to estimate the amount or range of any potential loss from this matter.

        On July 18, 2002, Avalon Partners, Inc., doing business as Cresa Partners ("Cresa"), filed a suit against the Company in the Superior Court of the State of California, San Mateo County, claiming broker commissions related to the Company's termination and restructuring of certain facilities leases associated with our restructuring plans taken during the second quarter of 2002. The matter was settled by way of a settlement agreement executed by both parties in March 2003 and the parties expect the lawsuit to be dismissed in the second quarter of fiscal 2003.

        The Company is also subject to various other claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate

86



disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations. Although management currently believes that the outcome of other outstanding legal proceedings, claims and litigation involving the Company will not have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations or financial condition, litigation is inherently uncertain, and there can be no assurance that existing or future litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations or financial condition.

Note 9—Restructuring

        During fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002, the Company approved restructuring plans to, among other things, reduce its workforce and consolidate facilities. These restructuring and asset impairment charges were taken to align the Company's cost structure with changing market conditions and to create a more efficient organization. A pre-tax charge of $110.4 million was recorded during fiscal 2002 and a pre-tax charge of $153.3 million was recorded during fiscal 2001 to provide for these actions and other related items. The Company recorded the low-end of a range of assumptions modeled for the restructuring charges, in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The high-end of the range was estimated at $117.8 million for the charge related to fiscal 2002. Adjustments to the restructuring reserves will be made in future periods, if necessary, based upon the then current actual events and circumstances.

        The nature of the charges summarized above is as follows:

        Severance and benefits—The Company recorded a charge of approximately $7.6 million during fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 related to severance benefits to terminated employees in the United States and various international locations. Costs incurred include severance, payroll taxes and COBRA benefits. Included in the $7.6 million is $107,000 of non-cash charges. These non-cash charges represent a one-time compensation charge taken as a result of granting certain terminated employees extended vesting of stock options beyond the standard vesting schedule for terminated employees. The compensation charge was calculated using the Black-Schools option pricing model. Approximately $817,000 of severance and benefits related costs remained accrued as of December 31, 2001 as a result of the Company's 2001 restructuring plan. Approximately $6.9 million of severance and benefits costs had been paid out during fiscal 2002 and the remaining $1.4 million of severance, payroll taxes and COBRA benefits is expected to be paid in full by December 31, 2003. The Company's restructuring

87



plan included plans to terminate the employment of approximately 430 employees in North and South America and approximately 95 employees throughout Europe and Asia/Pacific during the first three quarters of fiscal 2002, impacting all departments within the Company. The employment of approximately 525 employees was terminated during fiscal year 2002. As a result of these reductions, the Company expects annual salary savings of approximately $44.6 million.

        Facilities/Excess Assets—During fiscal year 2002, the Company revised its estimates and expectations with respect to its facilities disposition efforts due to further consolidation and abandonment of additional facilities and to account for changes in estimates used in the Company's 2001 restructuring plan based upon actual events and circumstances. Total lease termination costs include the impairment of related assets, remaining lease liabilities and brokerage fees offset by estimated sublease income. The estimated costs of abandoning these leased facilities, including estimated sublease income, were based on market information analyses provided by a commercial real estate brokerage firm retained by the Company. Based on the factors above, a facilities/excess assets charge of $101.7 million was recorded during fiscal year 2002 and includes non-cash asset impairment charges of approximately $18.9 million.

        Approximately $89.9 million of facilities related costs remained accrued as of December 31, 2001 as a result of the Company's 2001 restructuring plan. Net cash payments during fiscal year 2002 related to abandoned facilities amounted to $78.0 million. Actual future cash requirements may differ materially from the accrual at December 31, 2002, particularly if actual sublease income is significantly different from historical estimates. As of December 31, 2002, $94.7 million of lease termination costs, net of anticipated sublease income, is expected to be paid by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The Company expects to pay approximately $26.9 million over the next twelve months and the remaining $67.8 million from January 1, 2004 through June of fiscal 2013. The $94.7 million is net of approximately $44.8 million of estimated sublease income of which approximately $28.8 million represents sublease agreements yet to be negotiated.

        Other—The Company recorded charges of approximately $1.1 million during fiscal year 2002 for various incremental costs incurred as a direct result of the restructuring plan. The remaining reserve balance of $79,000 is expected to be paid in full by the end of the fourth quarter of 2003.

Note 10—Stockholders' Equity

Convertible Preferred Stock

        As of December 31, 2002, there were no outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock. The Board of Directors and the stockholders have approved authorized shares of convertible preferred stock to 10,000,000.

        As of December 31, 2002, there were warrants outstanding to acquire 9,628 shares of common stock at an average price of $187.53. These warrants were issued in 1997 and 2000 in connection with revenue transactions. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and revenues recorded net of the fair value of the warrants.

88


Common Stock

        On July 24, 2002, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a one-for-nine reverse split of its common stock. The reverse split was effective as of 8:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on July 29, 2002. Each nine shares of outstanding common stock of the Company automatically converted into one share of common stock. The Company's common stock began trading on a post-split basis at the opening of trading on the Nasdaq National Market on July 30, 2002.

        During June 2001, the Company completed an acquisition in which it acquired Keyeon. Please see Note 2, Acquired Business, to Consolidated Financial Statements.

        During fiscal 2002 there were no increases in the aggregate number of shares of common stock available to be issued under the Company's Equity Incentive Stock Option Plan. During May 2001, the Board of Directors and the stockholders approved an increase in the aggregate number of shares of common stock available to be issued under the Company's Equity Incentive Stock Option Plan by 12,000,000 shares.

        The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations when accounting for its stock option and stock purchase plans. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had reserved 96 million shares of common stock for issuance under its Equity Incentive Plan. Under this plan, the Board of Directors may grant incentive or nonqualified stock options at prices not less than 100% or 85%, respectively, of the fair market value of the Company's common stock, as determined by the Board of Directors, at the date of grant. The vesting of individual options may vary but in each case at least 25% of the total number of shares subject to options will become exercisable per year. These options generally expire ten years after the grant date. When an employee option is exercised prior to vesting, any unvested shares so purchased are subject to repurchase by the Company at the original purchase price of the stock upon termination of employment. The Company's right to repurchase lapses at a minimum rate of 20% per year over five years from the date the option was granted or, for new employees, the date of hire. Such right is exercisable only within 90 days following termination of employment. 3,165 unvested shares were repurchased by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2002 at a weighted-average price of $11.77. As of December 31, 2002, 270 shares were subject to repurchase at a weighted-average price of $8.48. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, 7,952 and 68,094 shares, respectively, were subject to repurchase.

        The Company's President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") has options to purchase 2,219,999 shares of common stock at an average exercise price of $30.16 per share. On April 1, 1995, the Company's President and CEO was granted options to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. These options vest ratably over a 60-month period commencing on grant whereas the first year is subject to cliff vesting. As of December 31, 2002, all of the 500,000 options were exercised. On June 23, 1999, the CEO was granted additional options to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $60.00 per share. The options vest ratably, 20% after year 1 and the remainder ratably over the next 48 months, over a 60-month period commencing on grant. As of December 31, 2002, 350,001 of the 500,000 additional options were vested. On May 25, 2001, the CEO was granted additional options to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $66.51 per share. The options vest ratably over the next 48 months, commencing on grant. As of December 31, 2002, 197,917 options from the May 25, 2001 grant were vested. On

November 27, 2001, the CEO was granted additional options to purchase 4,444 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $35.01 per share.

On February 19, 2002, the CEO was granted additional options to purchase 55,555 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $18.63 per share. The options vest ratably over the next 48 months, commencing on grant. As of December 31, 2002, 11,574 options from the February 19, 2002 grant were vested. On October 30, 2002, the CEO was granted additional options to purchase 1,160,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.16 per share. The options vest ratably over the next 48 months, commencing on grant. As of December 31, 2002, 48,333 options from the October 30, 2002 grant were vested.

        During the year ended December 31, 2002 the Company recorded compensation expense of $846,000. This charge was recorded as a result of granting terminated employees continued vesting of their stock options for a period beyond their actual termination date. The compensation charge was calculated using the Black-Scholes model. $739,000 of the charge is recorded in general and administrative expense and the remaining $107,000 is included in restructuring charge as it related to employees terminated under the Company's restructuring plan.

        During the year ended December 31, 2001 the Company recorded compensation expense of $1.0 million. This charge was recorded as a result of granting terminated employees continued vesting of their stock options for a period beyond their actual termination date. The compensation charge was calculated using the Black-Scholes model. $350,000 of the charge is recorded in general and administrative expense and the remaining $664,000 is included in restructuring charge as it related to employees terminated under the Company's restructuring plan.

        During the second quarter of 2001, the Company announced a voluntary stock option exchange program, or Offer, for its employees and directors. Under the program, BroadVision employees and directors had the opportunity, if they so chose, to cancel outstanding "underwater" stock options, which were options that had an exercise price that was higher than the price of the Company's Common Stock on the date that the Offer expired, previously granted to them in exchange for an equal number of new options to be granted at a future date. The Offer remained outstanding until 5:00p.m., Pacific Daylight Time, on May 25, 2001 (the "Expiration Date"). The exercise price of the new options was equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, which was November 27, 2001. Acceptance of the Offer required a participant electing to exchange any underwater options to also exchange any other options granted to him or her during the six months before or after the Expiration Date. The exchange program was designed to comply with FASB Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, and is not expected to result in any additional compensation charges or variable plan accounting. Employees located in Sweden were not eligible for this program. A total of 937 individuals elected to participate in the Offer. These

92



individuals tendered a total of 2.7 (just divided by 9) million options to purchase common stock in return for the Company's promise to grant new options on the grant date of November 27, 2001. A total of 1.1 million options were granted at the fair market value of $35.01 per share, the opening price of the Company's common stock on November 27, 2001, to those employees who had been continuously employed with the Company from the date they tendered their original options through November 27, 2001.

Pro Forma Disclosure

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

        On February 7, 2002, the Board of Directors approved an increase by an amount not to exceed 5% of the number of shares outstanding for issuance under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan"). The Purchase Plan permits eligible employees to purchase common stock equivalent to a percentage of the employee's earnings, not to exceed 15%, at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of the common stock at dates specified by the Board of Directors as provided in the Plan. Under the Purchase Plan, the Company issued approximately 555,278, 293,112 and 120,889 shares to employees in the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Under SFAS No. 123, compensation cost is recognized for the fair value of the employees' purchase rights, which was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with no expected dividends, an expected life of approximately 2 months, and the following weighted-average assumptions:

 
  Years ended December 31,
 
 
  2002
  2001
  2000
 
Risk-free interest rate   1.06 % 1.67 % 4.50 %
Volatility   122 % 143 % 136 %

        The weighted-average fair value of the purchase rights granted in the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, was $2.94, $18.00, and $115.83, respectively.

        The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with no expected dividends and the following weighted-average assumptions:

 
  Years ended December 31,
 
 
  2002
  2001
  2000
 
Expected life   3.5 years   4.0 years   4.4 years

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

        On April 8, 2002, we received notice from our independent public accountant Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") of its resignation as our auditor as a result of our plans to change independent public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002 due to an anticipated future non-audit business relationship between the two companies.

        The reports of Andersen on our financial statements for the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

        During our two most recent fiscal years, and through April 8, 2002, there were no disagreements with Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of Andersen would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report.

        During our two most recent fiscal years, except as described below, there were no reportable events (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)). In a letter dated March 30, 2001, Andersen informed us that they noted certain matters involving our internal controls that they considered to be reportable conditions under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The reportable conditions related to our purchase requisition processes and invoice processing procedures. Members of our Audit Committee of the Board of Directors discussed this matter with Andersen. We have implemented procedures to address this matter. We have authorized Andersen to respond fully to the inquiries of the successor accountant concerning this matter.

        On May 7, 2002, we engaged the services of BDO Seidman, LLP as our new independent auditors for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. Our Board of Directors, with the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, authorized and approved the engagement of BDO Seidman. In deciding to select BDO Seidman, the Audit Committee and our management considered auditor independence issues raised by commercial relationships we have or may have with certain accounting firms. With respect to BDO Seidman, we do not have any commercial relationship with BDO Seidman that would impair its independence. During our two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2001, and the subsequent interim period through May 7, 2002, we did not consult with BDO Seidman regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.


PART III

        Certain information required by Part III is incorporated by reference in this Report from the Company's definitive proxy statement for its 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be filed pursuant to Regulation 14A (the "Proxy Statement").


ITEM 10. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT

        Other than the identification of executive officers, which is set forth in Part I, Item 1 hereof, the information required by this Item is incorporated by reference to the Proxy Statement.


ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

        The information required by this Item is incorporated by reference to the sections entitled "Executive Compensation" in the Proxy Statement.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

        The information required by this Item is incorporated by reference to the section entitled "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters" in the Proxy Statement.


ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

        The information required by this Item is incorporated by reference to the sections entitled "Executive Compensation" and "Certain Transactions" in the Proxy Statement.


ITEM 14. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

        (a)  Based on his evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures conducted within 90 days of the date of filing this report on Form 10-K, our Chief Executive Officer, who is also acting in the capacity of chief financial officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective.

        (b)  There have been no significant changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation referenced in paragraph (a) above.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

        The Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

        The audit referred to in our report dated January 24, 2003, except for Note 13 and the penultimate paragraph of Note 6, as to which the date is March 28, 2003, relating to the consolidated financial statements of BroadVision, Inc., which is contained in Item 8 of this Form 10-K, included the audit of the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index. This financial statement schedule is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial statement schedule based upon our audit. The financial statement schedule of BroadVision, Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and for the two years then ended were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on this financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, in their report dated March 29, 2002.

        In our opinion, the financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

        We have audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated financial statements of BroadVision, Inc. and subsidiaries included in this annual report on Form 10-K and have issued our report thereon dated January 23, 2002.
