CAUTIONARY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO THE PRIVATE SECURITIES
LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

Certain statements set forth or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K, as well as in our Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2004, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "believes", "anticipates", "expects", "intends", "estimates" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, those risk factors set forth under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or publicly release any revision to these forward-looking statements after the date of this Form 10-K.

We develop, market and support a suite of personalized self-service web applications that enable organizations to unify their e-business infrastructure and conduct both interactions and transactions with employees, partners and customers. Our integrated suite of process, commerce, portal and content solutions helps organizations rapidly increase revenues and reduce costs. As of December 31, 2004, we had licensed our products to more than 1,000 end-user customers and partners.

We were incorporated in Delaware in May 1993 and have been a publicly-traded corporation since 1996. From 2001 to date, our annual revenue has declined and we have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of December 31, 2004, we had negative working capital and an accumulated deficit of $1.2 billion. The majority of these accumulated losses to date have resulted from non-cash charges associated with our 2000 acquisition of Interleaf, Inc. and restructuring charges related to excess real estate. During 2004, we entered into a series of termination agreements to buy out of nearly all of our excess lease obligations.

Our principal executive offices are located at 585 Broadway, Redwood City, California 94063. Our telephone number is (650) 261-5100. General information about us can be found at our website, 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 Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC.

BroadVision solutions help customers rapidly increase revenues and reduce costs by moving interactions and transactions to personalized self-service via the web. Our integrated self-service application suite—including process, commerce, portal and content—offers rich functionality out of the box, and is easily configured for each customer's e-business environment.

Over 1,000 customers—including U.S. Air Force, Lockheed Martin, Netikos, Circuit City, Wal*Mart, Iberia L.A.E. and Vodafone—have licensed BroadVision solutions to power and personalize their mission-critical web initiatives.

E-Business has become an integral part of doing business and organizations are looking for ways to reduce costs, improve productivity and increase revenues by moving more business processes online. Achieving this goal is complicated by the proliferation of websites and rapid acquisition of e-business solutions that occurred during the internet bubble years. This has often resulted in systems that were poorly integrated into the company's overall enterprise architecture, preventing companies from empowering end users to interact with back-end systems to accomplish their goals. By providing a way for enterprises to quickly assemble and deploy web-based business processes that tap into those resources, organizations can dramatically reduce the cost and improve the quality of interactions between employees, customers and business partners. A significant number of industry analysts have highlighted the ways in which organizations can reduce costs and improve customer satisfaction by implementing the self-service model, including online shopping and call center operations. This trend is

illustrated by the recent proliferation of airport check-in kiosks and photo-processing kiosks. In addition to accelerating the response time for the consumer, web-based self-service applications also enable organizations to collect valuable market research data about their customers.

We believe that BroadVision is unique in offering a self-service solution that tightly integrates process, portal, commerce, and content management on a single, secure, high-performance framework that also enables advanced personalization and seamless integration to enterprise systems.

Transforms costly, people-intensive processes and collaborations into web-based self-service processes. Allows business analysts and technical staff to design and deploy solutions in days, not months, significantly reducing IT cost and accelerating time to implementation.

Transacts the entire sales process from lead generation to sales execution to customer support and allows management of B2B and B2C channels through a single application. Delivers advanced personalization capabilities and easy-to-use catalog management tools.

Connects visitors to personalized views of information, resources and business processes stored in diverse internal and external legacy information systems. Easy to use and manage, it supports collaborative business processes through self-serviced microsites.

Manages all types of content throughout its lifecycle, from creation and management through deployment and distribution. Support for intelligent content tagging and management enables organizations to deliver highly personalized content to multiple constituents using the web, wireless or print.

The following extensions build on the core functionality of BroadVision's self-service applications:

Complements BroadVision Commerce with closed-loop campaign management. Makes it easier to segment prospects and customers and deliver personalized, relevant and timely offers via the web, e-mail or both. Integrated reporting automatically gathers and presents the information organizations need to discover the marketing approach that works best.

Provides powerful features for creating and publishing lengthy, complex documents supporting multiple output formats (including HTML, PDF and Postscript) and automatic publishing of personalized content to BroadVision Portal. Assembles publications from a variety of text, graphic and database sources, including Microsoft Word, AutoCad, Microsoft Excel and Oracle. Includes a complete XML authoring environment.

BroadVision applications and extensions leverage a self-service framework that provides notable availability, performance, scalability and security.

Simplifies the process of moving content from multiple systems to the production environment. Reduces the cost of managing BroadVision application assets and improves process standardization for enterprise staging initiatives.

Extends BroadVision applications beyond the desktop to mobile phones enabled with WAP, CHTML or XHTML; personal digital assistants (PDAs); voice channels that use Voice XML technology; as well as HTML devices including PCs, kiosks, ATMs and point-of-sale terminals. Enables

personalization of content to the memory, screen and navigational characteristics of different touch points.

Provides full-text and field searching of online content and any referenced external files and returns results with relevance-ranked scores. Supports query searches using a broad spectrum of search operators. Connects people to the information they seek regardless of medium. Developed in partnership with FAST, a global leader in real-time search and filter technology.

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. BroadVision Process leverages a proven open source stack at the platform layers to reduce total cost of ownership and optimize performance. Support for the J2EE and CORBA standards 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. 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 Security. 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, SunOne and JBoss.

BroadVision Process gives organizations the option of running on a commercially available technology stack described above or on an open source stack. While our commitment to commercial

platforms has not changed, we recognize that our customers are adopting open source as a platform because of its total cost of ownership and runtime benefits.

We recognize that today's organizations require an open, partner-based approach to e-business. Accordingly, we have assembled a team of best-of-breed partners with the skills, services and value-added products necessary to develop, market, sell and deliver the most competitive web-based self-service solutions available.

BroadVision's systems integration and consulting services partners deliver strategic business solutions to companies. These partners offer global deployment experience, strong vertical market expertise and process-based solutions. Our contractual agreements with these consulting partners incentivize them to build a development expertise in BroadVision's technology and sell our products and services to potential customers, thus enabling us to extend the reach of our products and/or services.

BroadVision's technology partners include Value-Added Resellers (VAR) and Independent Software Vendors (ISV) who build and deploy BroadVision-based vertical and horizontal software solutions. Our goal is to create value-added solutions that address a customer's specific business and IT goals. In addition, technology partners include distributors who are authorized representatives that market, distribute, resell and support BroadVision's products and services or application service providers who develop, host and support value-added application solutions based on our technology. The contracts that govern our relationships with these partners are generally terminable by either party upon 30 to 90 days notice. In most cases, technology/OEM partners license our products to users under the terms of a reseller or distribution agreement. Revenues generated from technology/OEM partners in recent years have not been significant.

BroadVision provides a full spectrum of global services to contribute to the success of businesses, including business consulting services, implementation services, migration and performance services and ongoing training and support.

BroadVision Global Services (BVGS) provides strategic services that help customers achieve maximum business value from their BroadVision applications and implementation services that ensure rapid deployment. BVGS leverages a global network of certified professionals to provide customers with high value at low cost. Our comprehensive migration services—including migration planning and optimization—provide a cost-effective approach to migration and protect our customers' investment in critical business applications.

Coursework is available for Content Managers, Technical Developers and System Administrators through BroadVision Education Services. Customers and partners can arrange for on-site programs, which allow employees to learn at the office, or take advantage of regularly scheduled public courses at BroadVision locations.

BroadVision offers a tiered support and maintenance program to better serve the needs of our worldwide customer base. Standard Support provides technical assistance during regular business hours; Enterprise Support is designed for customers with mission-critical environments, providing customers with access to support experts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; and Personalized Support assigns a specific individual to a customer along with other customer specified support services, including on-site support engineers. We have technical support centers in North America, Europe and Asia. Under our standard maintenance agreement, we provide telephone support and upgrade rights to new releases, including patch releases as necessary, as well as product enhancements.

BroadVision customers have achieved significant business value by moving interactions and transactions to web-based self-service.

As of December 31, 2004, we had licensed our products to over 1,000 end-user customers and partners. During each of the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, no customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues.

BroadVision's software is deployed in all major industry groups, including financial services, government, healthcare, manufacturing, retail and telecommunications. Customers include U.S. Air Force, Lockheed Martin, Netikos, Circuit City, Wal*Mart, Iberia L.A.E., and Vodafone.

We market our products primarily through a direct sales organization with operations in North America, Europe and Asia/Pacific. On December 31, 2004, our direct sales organization included 89 sales representatives, managers and sales support personnel.

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, offices are located in Toronto 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 and the Republic of China (Taiwan).

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 self-service web applications 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 design, and then develop and deploy, their applications.

As of December 31, 2004, 22 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:

If we fail to compete successfully with current or future competitors, we may lose market share. The market for self-service web 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:

Compared to us, many of these competitors 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 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 ability to compete are dependent to a significant degree on our proprietary technology. We hold a U.S. patent, issued in January 1998 and expiring in August 2015, on elements of the BroadVision One-To-One Enterprise product, which covers electronic commerce operations common in today's web business. We also hold a U.S. patent, issued in November 1996 and expiring in February 2014, acquired as part of the Interleaf acquisition on the elements of the extensible electronic document processing system for creating new classes of active documents. The patent on active documents (associating procedures to elements of an electronic document) is fundamental and hard to avoid by modern document processing systems. Although we hold these patents, they may not provide an adequate level of intellectual property protection. In addition, litigation 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", "BroadVision One-To-One", "iGuide" and "Interleaf" 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.

As of December 31, 2004, we employed a total of 337 full-time employees, of whom 218 are based in North America, 91 in Europe and 28 in Asia. Of these full-time employees, 104 are in sales and marketing, 88 are in product development, 113 are in global services and client support, and 32 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.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding our current executive officers.

We lease approximately 168,000 square feet of office space, of which approximately 82% is in the United States. We occupy or sublease 88% of the 168,000 square feet of our leased office space.

At our headquarters, located in Redwood City, California, we occupy approximately 49,000 square feet of office facilities used for research and development, technical support, sales, marketing, consulting, training and administration. Additional leased domestic facilities include offices located in Bellevue, WA., Burlington, MA., Itasca, IL., McLean, VA., New York, NY and Redwood City, CA., which are primarily used for sales, marketing and customer service activities. Leased facilities of significant size located outside of the United States and used primarily for sales, marketing, customer support and administrative functions include facilities located in Vienna, Paris, Hamburg, Munich, Milan, Houten (Netherlands), Madrid, Stockholm, Reading, UK, Renes (Switzerland), Megenwil (Switzerland), Toronto, Tokyo and Singapore. We believe our facilities are suitable for their respective uses and, in general, are adequate to support our current and anticipated volume of business. We believe that suitable additional space will be available to accommodate any necessary or currently anticipated expansion of our operations.

We believe our facilities are suitable for their respective uses and, in general, are adequate to support our current and anticipated volume of business. We believe that suitable additional space will be available to accommodate any necessary or currently anticipated expansion of our operations.

The Company is subject to various claims and legal actions arising from time to time in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the Company has adequate defenses for each of the claims and actions, and we do not expect their ultimate disposition 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 our 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.

On June 10, 2004, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("MetLife") filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, naming the Company as a defendant. The complaint alleged that the Company was liable for unlawful detainer of premises leased from the plaintiff. The plaintiff thereafter filed a First Amended Complaint alleging that the Company no longer held possession of the premises but was in breach of the lease. In February 2005, MetLife and the Company reached agreement and executed documents regarding a settlement of the pending lawsuit under which the Company will pay MetLife an aggregate of $1,927,500 in consideration for termination of the lease, dismissal of the lawsuit and in full settlement of approximately $3.1 million of past and future lease obligations. The first of three installment payments was made in February 2005, with the second due in May 2005 and the third due in September 2005.

payment in full by the customer, we recognized revenue on that agreement in its entirety in the third quarter of 2001. We subsequently determined that the revenue should instead be recognized ratably over the four-year life of the agreement, and announced on April 1, 2002 that we were restating our financial statements for the third quarter of 2001 to effect this change. We have been accounting for the revenue ratably in all periods since the third quarter of 2001.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Our common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "BVSN." The following table shows high and low sale prices per share of our common stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market:

	High		Low
Fiscal Year 2004
First Quarter	$	9.05	$	4.28
Second Quarter		6.87		2.92

Fourth Quarter		5.71		4.14

As of March 4, 2005, there were 2011 holders of record of our common stock. On March 4, 2005, the last sale price reported on the Nasdaq National Market System for our common stock was $2.17 per share.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock, and our debentures issued in late fiscal 2004 preclude us from paying cash dividends without the approval of the debenture holders. In addition, our credit facility with our commercial lender contains certain covenants that may limit our ability to pay cash dividends.

In the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company has issued and sold the following unregistered securities:

The issuances of the securities in the transactions above were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act promulgated thereunder as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering, where the purchasers represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to distribution and received or had access to adequate information about the Registrant, or Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act as transactions pursuant to a compensatory benefit plan or a written contract relating to compensation.

Appropriate legends were affixed to the stock certificates and securities issued in the above transactions. No underwriters were employed in any of the above transactions.

The selected consolidated financial data set forth below should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," the Consolidated Financial Statements of BroadVision and Notes thereto, and other financial information included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. Historical results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for future periods.

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

You should read this discussion and analysis in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. In addition to the historical consolidated information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are subject to the "safe harbor" created by those sections. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by words such as "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "believe," "hope," "assume," "estimate," "plan," "will" and other similar words and expressions. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors. Factors that could cause or contribute to differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Form 10-K, particularly in "Risk Factors." We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking statements or to reflect events and circumstances after the date of this document.

BroadVision solutions help customers rapidly increase revenues and reduce costs by moving interactions and transactions to personalized self service via the web. Our integrated self-service application suite—including process, commerce, portal and content—offers rich functionality out of the box, and is easily configured for each customer's e-business environment.

Worldwide demand for enterprise software has declined significantly over the past several years. The decline in venture capital spending has resulted in fewer new companies with funding to, among other things, build an on-line business. Established companies have scaled back, delayed or cancelled web-based initiatives. As a result of these reasons and others, we have seen significant declines in our revenue over the past three fiscal years.

Our objective is to further our position as a leading supplier of web-based, self-service applications. This will require us to continue to build in new functionality to our applications that offer our customers a compelling value proposition to license our products rather than design and build custom solutions. It is also important that potential customers know about our products, and therefore we will be investing more heavily in targeted marketing campaigns.

We generate revenue 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 Central Processing Units ("CPUs") on the machine on which the product is installed. Payment terms are generally thirty days from the date the products are delivered or the services are provided.

From 2001 to date, we have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations. In fiscal year 2004, we entered into a series of agreements to terminate significant excess lease obligations that were contributing to that negative cash flow. Under the terms of these agreements, we have paid or will pay over $45 million, and our future cash outflows will be reduced by over $4 million per quarter. We believe that these transactions are an important step towards our goal of generating consistent positive cash flows, although we make no assurances about our ability to generate positive cash flows in future periods.

We strive to anticipate changes in the demand for our services and aggressively manage our labor force appropriately. Through our thorough budgeting process, cross-functional management participates

in the planning, reviewing and managing of our business plans. This process allows us to adjust our cost structures to changing market needs, competitive landscapes and economic factors. Our emphasis on cost control helps us manage our margins even if revenues generated fall short of what we anticipated.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, and this assessment identified three material weaknesses. See Item 9A of this report for a description of these material weaknesses and associated remediation efforts. See also "Risk Factors" for a discussion of risks associated with our current and any future material weaknesses.

In November 2004, the Company entered into a definitive agreement for the private placement of up to $20.0 million of convertible debentures to five institutional investors. The Company issued an initial $16.0 million of debentures which will be convertible into common stock at a fixed conversion price of $2.76 per share. The notes bear interest at a rate of six percent per annum and are repayable in either cash or common stock beginning in June 2005 for a period of up to three years, depending on the occurrence of certain events. Payment of both principal and interest may be made in either cash or, provided that the Company obtains shareholder approval, common stock of the Company. The agreement provides for an additional $4.0 million of convertible debentures to be issued to the investors at the option of the investors, or, under certain circumstances, at the Company's option. Investors also received warrants to purchase approximately 1.7 million shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $3.58 per share. The warrants will be exercisable beginning six months after the closing date, and have a term of five years.

The Company has various credit facilities with a commercial lender which include term debt in the form of notes payable, a revolving line of credit and an equipment line of credit. In November 2004, the Company entered into a renewed and amended loan and security agreement with the lender. The agreement requires the Company to maintain certain levels of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (excluding equity investments), and to maintain certain levels on deposit with the lender. The agreement also modified the financial covenants and increased the revolving line of credit borrowing limit from $15.0 million to $20.0 million. At December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, $20.0 million and $27.0 million were outstanding under the line of credit, respectively. Borrowings under the line of credit are collateralized by all of our assets and bear interest at the bank's prime rate. Interest is due monthly and principal was due at the expiration in February 2005.

2005. Standby letters of credit of $21.9 million were issued on our behalf from financial institutions as of December 31, 2004 in favor of our landlords to secure the fiscal 2005 payments. Accordingly, this $21.9 million, along with additional letters of credit securing other long-term leases of $2.3 million, has been included in restricted cash in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2004. The Company also transferred ownership of certain furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements with a net book value of $8.5 million to the previous landlords. In addition, the Company issued to one of the landlords a five-year warrant to purchase approximately 700,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, exercisable beginning in August 2005.

As a component of the settlement of one of the previous leases, the Company has a residual lease obligation beginning in 2007 of approximately $9.1 million. The Company may make an additional cash payment of $4.5 million if it exercises an option to terminate this residual real estate obligation prior to the commencement of the lease term (January 2007). This option to terminate the residual lease obligation is accounted for in accordance with SFAS 146 and is part of the restructuring credit of $23.5 million recorded in the year ended December 31, 2004.

The Company does not anticipate additional significant facilities-related restructuring charges or credits in future periods, although no assurances are provided.

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. We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

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. 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 SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue's Recognition in Financial Statements.

Software License Revenue—We license our products to our customers 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 97-2, as amended by SOP 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 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 deferred 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.

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 generally 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 reductions to revenue for estimated future 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.

Under the criteria set forth in the 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.

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.

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 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 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 142, the first stage requires a comparison of the fair value of BroadVision 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. 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, 2004 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, 2004. 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.

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 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. We have considered estimated future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the amount of the valuation allowance.

We apply Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations when accounting for our stock option and stock purchase plans. In accordance with APB Opinion 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.

For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company recorded compensation income of $19,000 as a result of a vesting modification of a grant to a third-party consultant for an option to purchase common stock of the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2003, we recorded compensation expense of $342,000 as a result of granting a third-party consultant common stock of the Company and a vesting modification to a grant for a terminated employee. These charges were calculated based upon the market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant or modification.

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 No. 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 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Had compensation cost for our stock option plan and employee stock purchase plan been determined consistent with SFAS 123, our 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):

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.

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.

Through December 31, 2004, we have approved certain restructuring plans to, among other things, reduce our workforce and consolidate facilities. Restructuring charges were taken to align our cost structure with changing market conditions and to create a more efficient organization. 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; (iii) other incremental costs incurred as a direct result of the restructuring plan; and (iv) impairment costs related to certain long-lived assets abandoned. We account for each of these costs in accordance with 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) for exit or disposal activities initiated prior to January 1, 2003. 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 we recorded are not associated with nor do they benefit continuing activities. We account for severance and benefits termination costs for exit or disposal activities initiated after January 1, 2003 in accordance with SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit Activities. SFAS 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.

Prior to the adoption on January 1, 2003 of SFAS 146, we accounted for the costs associated with lease termination and/or abandonment in accordance with EITF 88-10, Costs Associated with Lease Modification or Termination. Accordingly, we recorded the costs associated with lease termination and/or abandonment when the leased property had no substantive future use or benefit to us.

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. 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.

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 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.

The following table sets forth certain items reflected in our consolidated statements of operations expressed as a percent of total revenues for the periods indicated.

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $78.0 million, down $10.1 million, or 11%, from the prior year. This decline consisted of a decrease in software license revenue of $3.4 million, or 11%, and a decrease in services revenue of $6.7 million, or 12%.

The fiscal 2004 decrease in software license revenues is primarily attributable to continued weakness in the information technology market due to economic uncertainties throughout 2004. The decrease in services revenue consisted of decreases in both maintenance and support and consulting services revenue. These decreases were a result of a corresponding decline in software license revenues and of weak economic conditions over the past fiscal year.

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $88.1 million, down $27.8 million, or 24%, on a year-over-year basis. This decline consisted of a decrease in software license revenue of $10.3 million, or 25%, and a decrease in services revenue of $17.6 million, or 23%.

The fiscal 2003 decrease in software license revenues is primarily attributable to continued weakness in the information technology market due to economic uncertainties throughout 2003. The decrease in services revenue consisted of decreases in both maintenance and support ($2.9 million) and consulting services revenue ($14.7 million). These decreases were a result of a corresponding decline in software license revenues and of weak economic conditions during the fiscal year.

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.

Cost of software licenses for the year ended December 31, 2004, decreased $1.3 million, or 49%, on a year over year basis. Cost of software licenses as a percent of license revenues was 5% in 2004 as compared to 8% in 2003. The decrease in absolute dollars is a result of decreased license revenues.

Cost of services for the year ended December 31, 2004 decreased $0.7 million, or 3%, on a year-over-year basis. Cost of services as a percent of services revenues was 49% in 2004 as compared to 44% in 2003. The decreases in absolute dollar terms during 2004 as compared to 2003 were the result of reductions in consulting headcount and third-party consultant costs that occurred during the 2004 fiscal year. The increase as a percent of services revenue is due to higher outsourcing costs, due in part to turnover in senior project positions.

Cost of software licenses for the year ended December 31, 2003 decreased $5.6 million, or 69%, on a year-over-year basis. Cost of software licenses as a percent of license revenues was 8% in 2003 as compared to 20% in 2002. The decrease in absolute dollars is a result of decreased license revenues, including revenue generated from our products that embed or include third-party products. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002, we recorded a provision of $3.2 million related to prepaid royalties for software we no longer intended to utilize.

Cost of services for the year ended December 31, 2003 decreased $13.2 million, or 34%, on a year-over-year basis. Cost of services as a percent of services revenues was 44% in 2003 as compared to 52% in 2002. The decreases in absolute dollar terms and as a percentage of revenue during 2003 as compared to 2002 were the result of reductions in consulting headcount and third-party consultant costs that occurred during the 2002 fiscal year.

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 write-off of pre-paid royalties recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 related to software we no longer intend to utilize.

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 decreases in cost of services in absolute dollar terms and as a percentage of revenue during 2002 as compared to 2001 were the result of reductions in consulting headcount and third-party consultant costs that occurred during the 2002 fiscal year.

The number of total consulting employees was 77 as of December 31, 2004, 98 as of December 31, 2003, and 170 as of December 31, 2002.

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

Research and development. Research and development expenses decreased $3.0 million, or 14%, in 2004 compared to 2003, and $20.4 million, or 49%, in 2003 compared to 2002. The decreases in both years were primarily attributable to reductions in staffing levels resulting in decreased salary and salary related costs, as well as other cost-cutting efforts taken as part of our restructuring plan, such as consolidation of facilities.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased $1.0 million, or 4%, in 2004 compared to 2003, and decreased $22.5 million, or 46%, in 2003 compared to 2002. Sales and marketing expenses increased in 2004 due to the launch of the company's latest product, BroadVision Process. In 2003, sales and marketing expenses decreased primarily due to decreased salary expense as a result of reductions in force, decreased variable compensation due to lower revenues, and decreased facility, travel and marketing program costs as a result of various cost-cutting actions.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased $250,000, or 3%, in 2004 compared to 2003, and $6.5 million, or 40%, in 2003 compared to 2002. The decreases in both years were primarily attributable to decreases in salary expenses as a result of reductions in force, professional services expenses as a result of cost cutting measures, reserves of accounts receivable due to better than expected collection efforts and declining accounts receivable balances, and continued facilities consolidations.

Litigation settlement costs. During the third quarter of 2003, we settled outstanding litigation which resulted in a charge of $4.3 million. The settlement involved payments for past royalties and certain legal expenses and license fees that were due and payable in future periods. These payments did not have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Goodwill and intangible amortization. On April 14, 2000, we acquired all of the outstanding commons stock of Interleaf, Inc., in a transaction accounted for as a purchase business combination. As a result of this transaction, we recorded goodwill and other intangible assets of $794.7 million. Amortization of recognizable intangible assets related to the Interleaf transaction was $3.5 million in 2002.

Restructuring charge. 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 our cost structure with changing market conditions and to create a more efficient organization. In

fiscal 2004, the Company reached agreement with several landlords to extinguish approximately $155.0 million of obligations related to excess facility leases, which contributed to a pre-tax net restructuring credit during the year of $23.5 million. Pretax charges of $35.4 million and $110.4 million were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. For each period, 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. Adjustments to the restructuring reserves will be made in future periods, if necessary, based upon the then current actual events and circumstances.

The following table summarizes the restructuring accrual activity recorded during the three-years ended December 31, 2004 (in thousands):

The severance and benefits accrual for each period included severance, payroll taxes and COBRA benefits related to restructuring plans implemented prior to the balance sheet date. The facilities/excess assets accrual for each period included future minimum lease payments, fees and expenses, net of estimated sublease income and planned company occupancy, and related leasehold improvement amounts payable subsequent to the balance sheet date for which the provisions of EITF 94-3 or SFAS 146, as applicable, were satisfied. See further discussion below. In determining estimated future sublease income, the following factors were considered, among others: 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 facilities.

Severance and benefits—The Company recorded a charge of $1.1 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, related to workforce reductions as a component of the Company's restructuring plans executed during the year. The Company estimates that the accrual as of December 31, 2004, will be paid in full by December 31, 2005.

Facilities/excess assets—During the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, the Company recorded a facilities-related restructuring credit of $24.6 million. During the third and fourth quarters of 2004, the Company reached agreements with certain landlords to extinguish approximately $155.0 million of future real estate obligations. The Company made cash payments of $19.0 million during the third quarter and $1.7 million during the fourth quarter, and, as of December 31, 2004, is obligated to make additional cash payments of $21.9 million in fiscal 2005. Standby letters of credit of $21.9 million were issued on our behalf from financial institutions as of December 31, 2004, in favor of the landlords to secure the fiscal 2005 payments. Accordingly, $21.9 million, along with additional

letters of credit securing other long-term leases of $2.3 million, has been included in restricted cash in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2004. The Company also transferred ownership of certain furniture, fixtures, and leasehold improvements with a net book value of $8.5 million to the previous landlords.

As a component of the settlement of one of the previous leases, the Company has a residual lease obligation beginning in 2007 of approximately $9.1 million. The Company may make an additional cash payment of $4.5 million if it exercises an option to terminate this residual real estate obligation prior to the commencement of the lease term (January 2007). This option to terminate the residual lease obligation is accounted for in accordance with SFAS 146 and is a part of the facilities related restructuring credit of $24.6 million recorded in fiscal 2004.

In connection with one of the buyout transactions, the Company issued to the landlord a five-year warrant to purchase approximately 700,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, exercisable beginning in August 2005. See Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of December 31, 2004, $2.8 million of estimated future sublease income is netted against the restructuring accrual.

Severance and benefits—The $1.5 million charge in fiscal 2003 related to workforce reductions as a component of the Company's restructuring plans executed during the year.

Facilities/excess assets—During the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, the Company recorded a facilities-related restructuring charge of $33.8 million. This charge related to the Company's revisions of estimates with respect to the planned future occupancy and anticipated future subleases. These revisions were necessary due to a reduction in planned future BroadVision space needs and a further decline in the market for commercial real estate. The Company estimated future sublease timing and rates based upon current market indicators and information obtained from a third party real estate expert.

A pre-tax charge of $110.4 million was recorded during fiscal 2002 to provide for restructuring 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.

Severance and benefits—The Company recorded a charge of approximately $8.7 million during fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 for restructuring-related severance and benefit costs. Included in the $8.7 million is $107,000 of non-cash charges related to 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 the Company's 2001 restructuring plan. Approximately $8.0 million of severance and benefits and other costs had been paid out during fiscal 2002 and the remaining $1.0 million of severance, payroll taxes and COBRA benefits was paid through December 31, 2003. The Company's 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 departments within the Company. The employment of approximately 525 employees was terminated during fiscal year 2002. As a result of these reductions, the Company expected 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.

As of December 31, 2004, the total restructuring accrual of $34.2 million consisted of the following (in millions):

The Company estimates that the severance and termination accrual will be paid in full by December 31, 2005. We expect to pay the excess facilities amounts related to restructured or abandoned leased space as follows (in millions):

Years ending December 31,	Total future minimum lease payments
2005	$	25.4
2006		6.0
2007		0.9
2008		0.5
2009 and thereafter (through October 2010)		0.5

Total minimum facilities payments	$	33.3

Of this excess facilities accrual, $21.9 million relates to payments due in fiscal 2005 under lease termination agreements, and $11.4 million relates to future minimum lease payments, fees and expenses, net of estimated sublease income and planned company occupancy. Certain long-term future minimum lease payments were converted into short-term buyout obligations subsequent to December 31, 2004. See Note 12.

Activity related to the restructuring plans prior to January 1, 2003 is accounted for in accordance with EITF 94-3. Activity after January 1, 2003 is accounted for in accordance with SFAS 146, with the exception of amounts that were the result of changes in assumptions to restructuring plans that were initiated prior to January 1, 2003.

The following table summarizes the activity related to the restructuring plans initiated after January 1, 2003, and accounted for in accordance with FAS 146 (in thousands):

The following table summarizes the activity related to the restructuring plans initiated prior to January 1, 2003, and accounted for in accordance with EITF 94-3 (in thousands):

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. During fiscal 2003, we recorded asset impairments of approximately $515,000 in connection with our restructuring plan, which is included in our restructuring charge recorded in our Statement of Operations.

Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets. We determined, as of December 31, 2004, that the fair value exceeded our net book value and no impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets was required. Changes in our estimates about future revenues and cash flows 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, 2004.

Interest income (expense), net, decreased $1.0 million in 2004 as compared to 2003, as the cash balance of the Company decreased and the Company issued convertible debt, which had the effect of increasing the interest expense. Other income, net, decreased by $1.9 million, or 91%, in 2004 as compared to 2003 as a result of higher foreign currency translation gains during 2003 that did not recur in 2004. In September 2004, the Company sold its interest in the partnership agreement for approximately $576,000 in cash and recorded a loss of approximately $230,000, which is included in "Other income (expense), net".

Interest income decreased $3.3 million, or 81%, in 2003 compared to 2002. The decrease in 2003 was attributable to decreased cash balances from 2002 to 2003 and lower market interest rates earned on invested cash. Other income (expense), net, for the 2003 fiscal year was $2.1 million as compared to net expense of $12.1 million in 2002. The main reason for the 2003 change was due to realized losses on cost method investments in 2002 that did not recur in 2003 in other expense.

We recorded income tax (benefits) provisions of ($309,000), $439,000, and $7.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the tax benefit relates primarily to the income tax reserves decreasing during the fiscal year. The tax expense, excluding the portion of the tax benefit, relates to foreign withholding taxes and state income taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the tax expense mainly relates to foreign withholding taxes and state income taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2002, $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.

As of December 31, 2004, cash, cash equivalents and cash investments (including restricted cash) totaled $66.1 million, which represents a decrease of $32.5 million as compared to a balance of $98.6 million at December 31, 2003. This decrease was primarily attributable to net cash used for operations, repayment of outstanding debt, and settlement of outstanding lease obligations.

On November 10, 2004, the Company entered into a definitive agreement for the private placement of up to $20.0 million of convertible debentures to five institutional investors. The Company issued an initial $16.0 million of debentures which will be convertible into common stock at a fixed conversion price of $2.76 per share. The notes bear interest at a rate of six percent per annum and are repayable beginning in June 2005 for a period of up to three years, depending on the occurrence of certain events. Payment of both principal and interest may be made in either cash or, provided that the Company obtains shareholder approval, common stock of the Company. The agreement provides for an additional $4.0 million of convertible debentures to be issued to the investors at the option of the investors, or, under certain circumstances, at the Company's option. Investors also received warrants to purchase approximately 1.7 million shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $3.58 per share. The warrants will be exercisable beginning six months after the closing date, and have a term of five years.

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 Facilities") for up to $20.0 million as of December 31, 2004. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit are collateralized by all of our assets and bear interest at the bank's prime rate. The amended and restated loan and security agreement requires us to maintain certain levels in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments (excluding restricted cash, long-term investments and 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 operating levels and ratios. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, $20.0 million and $27.0 million, respectively, was outstanding under the line of credit. Interest is due monthly and principal is due at expiration in February 2005.

Under the term loan portion of the SVB Facilities, we have outstanding term debt borrowings and the total outstanding amounts of these loans was $1.0 million as of December 31, 2004 and $1.9 million as of December 31, 2003. Interest on these term loans is at the bank's prime rate (5.25% as of December 31, 2004 and 4.00% as of December 31, 2003) plus up to 1.25%. Principal and interest are due in consecutive monthly payments through maturity of these term loans. Principal payments of $637,000 are due in 2005, and payments of $390,000 are due thereafter. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, commitments totaling $24.3 million and $19.8 million, respectively, in the form of standby letters of credit were issued and outstanding from financial institutions in favor of several landlords to secure obligations under our facility leases or under related buyout agreements. These letters of credit are collateralized by a security agreement, under which we are required to maintain an equal amount of

cash in a restricted specified interest bearing account. Accordingly, $24.3 million and $19.8 million have been presented as restricted cash in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

Cash used for operating activities was $41.9 million, $23.1 million and $99.2 million for fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The primary reason for the net cash used for operating activities in 2004 was due to buyout payments to settle long-term lease obligations. As a result of the settlement of future lease obligations during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2004, we paid $20.7 million in cash to extinguish future lease obligations, and we agreed to pay a further $21.9 million in fiscal 2005. Also impacting cash flows from operations in fiscal 2004 was a net loss of $2.9 million (before restructuring credits related to real estate transactions), a $1.6 million release of doubtful accounts and reserves and a $7.0 million decline in unearned revenue and deferred maintenance. There were also several non-cash items, including non-cash depreciation and amortization expense of $3.7 million, a non-cash restructuring reversal of $24.9 million and changes to balance sheet accounts, including a decrease in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets of $5.1 million and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2.2 million.

The primary reason for the net cash used for operating activities for fiscal 2003 was due to the net loss of $35.5 million adjusted for certain non-cash items such as depreciation expense, amortization of prepaid royalties and amortization of intangibles. Decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $8.1 million and in unearned revenues and deferred maintenance of $11.7 million contributed to the use of cash, offset by decreases in other noncurrent assets of $1.9 million, in accounts receivable of $8.3 million and in prepaids and other of $1.6 million and an increase in the restructuring reserves of $7.5 million. Net cash used for operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2002 was primarily attributed 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 as well as a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses, a decrease in unearned revenues and deferred maintenance, a decrease in other noncurrent assets, partially offset by decreases in accounts receivable and in prepaids and other, and an increase in the restructuring reserves.

Cash used for investing activities in fiscal 2004 was $3.8 million, primarily as a result of transfers to restricted cash. Cash provided by investing activities of $22.0 million for fiscal 2003 and $73.9 million for fiscal 2002 primarily consisted of net sales/maturities of investments.

Capital expenditures were $730,000 for fiscal 2004, $131,000 for fiscal 2003 and $1.1 million for fiscal 2002. Our capital expenditures have consisted of purchases of operating resources to manage our operations and included computer hardware and software, office furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements.

Cash provided by financing activities was $8.9 million in fiscal 2004, $2.5 million for fiscal 2003 and $26.9 million for fiscal 2002. On November 10, 2004, the Company entered into a definitive agreement for the private placement of convertible debentures and a related warrant to five institutional investors, which provided $14.9 million in net proceeds after issuance costs. Offsetting this was a $7.0 million reduction in bank borrowings and bank term debt principal payments of $0.9 million in fiscal 2004. In fiscal 2003 and 2002, cash provided by financing activities consisted mostly of proceeds from borrowings under our line of credit facility.

We lease our headquarters facilities and other facilities under non-cancelable operating lease agreements expiring through the year 2010. Under the terms of the agreements, we are required to pay lease costs, property taxes, insurance and normal maintenance costs.

A summary of total future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating lease agreements, including future minimum facilities payments for properties that are part of restructuring is as follows (in millions):

Years ending December 31,	Total future minimum lease payments
2005	$	25.4
2006		6.0
2007		0.9
2008		0.5
2009 and thereafter (through October 2010)		0.5

Total minimum facilities payments	$	33.3

Of this accrual, $21.9 million relates to payments due in fiscal 2005 under lease termination agreements, and $11.4 million relates to future minimum lease payments, fees and expenses, net of estimated sublease income and planned company occupancy. The future minimum lease payment accrual is net of approximately $2.8 million of sublease income to be received under non-cancelable sublease agreements signed prior to December 31, 2004.

The following table summarizes our letters of credit and the effect such letters of credit could have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods if the letters of credit were drawn upon (in millions):

During the third and fourth quarters of 2004, the Company reached agreements with certain landlords to extinguish approximately $155.0 million of future real estate obligations. The Company made cash payments of $19.0 million during the third quarter and $1.7 million in the fourth quarter, and, as of December 31, 2004, is obligated to make additional cash payments of $21.9 million in fiscal 2005. Standby letters of credit of $21.9 million were issued on our behalf from financial institutions as of December 31, 2004 in favor of our landlords to secure the fiscal 2005 payments. Accordingly, $21.9 million, along with additional letters of credit securing other long-term leases of $2.3 million, has been included in restricted cash in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2004. The Company also transferred ownership of certain furniture, fixtures, and leasehold improvements with a net book value of $8.5 million to the previous landlords. In addition, the Company issued to one of the landlords a five-year warrant to purchase approximately 700,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, exercisable beginning in August 2005.

As a component of the settlement of one of the previous leases, the Company has a residual lease obligation beginning in 2007 of approximately $9.1 million. The Company may make an additional cash payment of $4.5 million if it exercises an option to terminate the residual real estate obligation prior to the commencement of the lease term (January 2007). This option to terminate the residual lease obligation is accounted for in accordance with SFAS 146 and is part of our computation of the restructuring credit of $23.5 million recorded in the year ended December 31, 2004.

The Company does not anticipate additional significant facilities-related restructuring charges or credits in future periods, although no assurances are provided.

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2004 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future years. Restricted cash represents the collateral for our letters of credit.

In addition to the above obligations, in November 2004, the Company entered into a definitive agreement for the private placement of up to $20.0 million of convertible debentures to five institutional investors. The Company issued an initial $16.0 million of debentures which will be convertible into common stock at a fixed conversion price of $2.76 per share. The notes bear interest at a rate of six percent per annum and are repayable beginning in June 2005 for a period of up to three years, depending on the occurrence of certain events. Payment of both principal and interest may be made in either cash or, provided that the Company obtains shareholder approval, common stock of the Company. The Company intends to pay these debentures by issuing stock. If the Company were to repay these debentures with cash, the repayment would represent a significant use of capital.

We anticipate that future operating expenses will be significant. As a result, our net future cash flows will depend heavily on the level of future revenues, as well as our ability to further 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, that may have a significant negative impact on our anticipated cash inflows from operations, and that may increase our use of available cash or our need to obtain additional financing. Also, we may find it necessary to obtain additional equity or debt financing in order to support a more rapid expansion, develop new or enhanced products or 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 required to significantly downsize our operation. In the event of such a downsizing, 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.

The convertible notes allow the noteholders to require redemption of the notes upon the occurrence of various events of default, such as the termination of trading of our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market, or specified change of control transactions. In such a situation, we may be required to redeem all or part of the convertible notes including payment of applicable interest and penalties. These payments must be made within 5 business days of receipt of a notice of redemption. Some of the events of default include matters over which we may have some, little or no control. Many other events of default are described in the agreements we executed when we issued the convertible notes. If an event of default or a change of control occurs, we may be unable to pay the redemption price in cash. Any such redemption could leave us with little or no working capital for our business. We have not established a sinking fund for payment of our outstanding convertible notes, nor do we anticipate doing so.

We may experience significant fluctuations in quarterly operating results that may be caused by many factors including, among others, the timing of introductions or enhancements of products and services by us or our competitors, market acceptance of new products, the mix of our products sold, changes in pricing policies by us or our competitors, our ability to retain customers, changes in our sales incentive plans, budgeting cycles of our customers, customer order deferrals in anticipation of new products or enhancements by us or our competitors, non-renewal of maintenance agreements, product life cycles, changes in strategy, seasonal trends, the mix of distribution channels through which our products are sold, the mix of international and domestic sales, the rate at which new sales people become productive, changes in the level of operating expenses to support projected growth and general economic conditions. We anticipate that a significant portion of our revenues will be derived from a limited number of orders, and the timing of receipt and fulfillment of any such orders is expected to cause material fluctuations in our operating results, particularly on a quarterly basis. Due to the foregoing factors, quarterly revenues and operating results are difficult to forecast, and we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results will not necessarily be meaningful and should not be relied upon as any indication of future performance. It is likely that our future quarterly operating results from time to time will not meet the expectations of market analysts or investors, which may have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock.

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.

We renewed and amended our commercial line of credit during November 2004. The SVB Facility is secured by substantially all of our owned assets. At December 31, 2004, $20.0 million was outstanding under the line of credit. Interest is due monthly and principal is due at expiration in February 2005. 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.

In connection with our repayment of outstanding debentures, if we repay them in cash and need to use existing cash or liquidate investments, we may have to further restructure our operations.

So long as $5 million is outstanding under the convertible notes, the Company may be required to make additional payments under the notes if either of the following events occur: 1) our U.S. net cash balance falls below $10 million, or 2) our worldwide net cash balance falls below $15 million (each a "Net Cash Deficiency"). In either of these circumstances, we shall provide notice to the holders of the Net Cash Deficiency on the date of our quarterly results announcement. For a period of seven business days after our notice to the holders, each holder may provide us a notice requiring us to pay their proportional share of a special installment amount, equal to $1 million for all holders, monthly until there is no longer a Net Cash Deficiency at the end of a calendar quarter. Our payment of these additional installment amounts may be in cash and/or common stock pursuant to similar terms as the payment of regular installment amounts. Any requirement that we make any such payments in cash could leave us with insufficient working capital for our business.

The following tables set forth certain unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations data for the eight quarters ended December 31, 2004, 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 in 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.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." FIN 46 expands upon and strengthens existing accounting guidance that addresses when a company should include in its financial statements the assets, liabilities and activities of another entity. A variable interest entity is a corporation, partnership, trust or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (i) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (ii) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or is entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to older entities in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after December 15, 2003. Disclosure requirements apply to any financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 146 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS 150 requires that certain financial instruments, which under previous guidance were accounted for as equity, must now be accounted for as liabilities.

The financial instruments affected include mandatorily redeemable stock, certain financial instruments that require or may require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for cash

or other assets and certain obligations that can be settled with shares of stock. SFAS 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) Share-Based Payment, or SFAS 123R, which replaces SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, or SFAS 123, and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values beginning with the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2005, with early adoption encouraged. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. Under SFAS 123R, we must determine the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments, the amortization method for compensation cost and the transition method to be used at date of adoption. The transition methods include prospective and retroactive adoption options. We have not yet determined the method of adoption or the effect of adopting SFAS 123R. We are assessing the requirements of SFAS 123R and expect that its adoption will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations and earnings (loss) per share.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153 (SFAS 153), "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions." SFAS 153 eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets in paragraph 21(b) of APB Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions," and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. SFAS 153 specifies that a nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS 153 is effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2005. We do not expect that adoption of SFAS 153 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or liquidity.

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.

We have a history of losses and our future profitability on a quarterly or annual basis is uncertain, which could have a harmful effect on our business and the value of our common stock.

Since 2000, we have incurred substantial net operating losses and have not achieved positive cash flows from operations. For the year ended December 31, 2004, we had a net loss, before a gain related to a real estate transaction, of $2.9 million. As of December 31, 2004, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $1.2 billion.

Given our planned operating and capital expenditures, for the foreseeable future we expect our results of operations to fluctuate, and during this period we are likely to incur losses and negative cash flows. If our revenue does not increase or if we fail to maintain our expenses at an amount less than our projected revenue, we will not be able to achieve or sustain operating profitability on a consistent basis, if at all. 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 be required to significantly downsize our operation. Further, we may have inadequate levels of cash for operations or for capital requirements, which could significantly harm our ability to operate our business.

Our failure to operate profitably or control negative cash flows on a quarterly or annual basis could harm our business and the value of our common stock. 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.

Our management identified three material weaknesses in the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 that, if not remedied, could result in material misstatements in our financial statements, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, and this assessment identified the following three material weaknesses:

As further described in Item 9A of this report, while we believe we have fully remediated the third material weakness associated with the accuracy of our maintenance contract data, remediation of the other two material weaknesses that relate to inadequate staffing and training is dependent upon filling the open position and retaining existing employees and therefore we are currently unable to determine when this material weakness will be fully remediated. In addition, we cannot assure you that additional material weaknesses in our internal control will not be discovered in the future. Any failure to remediate material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting could cause our reported operating results to be unreliable, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statements. Inferior internal control could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.

Our business currently depends on revenue related to our BroadVision Self-Service Suite, and if the market does not increasingly accept this product and related products and services, our revenue may continue to decline.

We generate our revenue from licenses of the BroadVision Self-Service Suite, including process, commerce, portal and content management and related products and services. We expect that these products, and future upgraded versions, will continue to account for a large portion of our revenue in the foreseeable future. Our future financial performance will depend on increasing acceptance of our current product and on the successful development, introduction and customer acceptance of new and enhanced versions of our products. If new and future versions and updates of our products and services

do not gain market acceptance when released commercially, or if we fail to deliver the product enhancements and complementary third party products that customers want, demand for our products and services, and our revenue, may decline.

If we are unable to keep pace with 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. Failure to be competitive could cause our revenue to decline. 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:

Our sales and product implementation cycles are lengthy and subject to delay, which make it difficult to predict our quarterly results.

Our sales and product implementation cycles generally span months. Delays in customer orders or product implementations, which are difficult to predict, can affect the timing of revenue recognition and adversely affect our quarterly operating 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. A successful sales cycle may last up to nine months or longer. Our sales cycle is also affected by a number of other factors, some of which we have little or no control over, including the volatility of the overall software market, the business condition and purchasing cycle of each prospective customer, and the performance of our technology partners, systems integrators and resellers. The implementation of our products can also be time and resource intensive, and subject to unexpected delays. Delays in either product sales or implementations could cause our operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

Actions being taken to improve our revenue may not be effective and the expected benefits may not be realized when expected or at all.

In March 2004, we announced the Company's latest product, "BroadVision Process," and presented this product in a worldwide multi-city "Energizing e-Business World Tour." In addition, we have recently taken a number of steps in an effort to improve our sales processes and/or increase revenue including: increasing our spending on variable marketing programs and hiring additional marketing personnel; reorganizing our sales force; hiring a new Senior Vice President, Business Development, and several other senior sales managers; and implementing changes in our sales methodology. While these initiatives are intended to increase our revenue, they may not be successful. The new additions to management may not be as effective as anticipated. In addition, the implementation of new methodologies and the retraining process involved in developing sales for our new products may adversely impact revenue by creating longer sales cycles during the transition period.

Because our quarterly operating results are volatile and difficult to predict, our quarterly operating results in one or future periods are likely to fluctuate significantly, which could cause our stock price to decline if we fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors.

Our quarterly operating results have varied significantly in the past and are likely to continue to vary significantly in the future. For example, in the quarters ended September 30, 2003, December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004, our revenues declined 15%, increased 25% and declined 10%, respectively, as compared to the previous fiscal quarter. In the quarters ended June 30, 2003, September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2003, our revenues declined 8%, 7% and 15%, respectively, as compared to the same quarterly periods in the prior fiscal year. If our revenues, operating results, earnings or future projections are below the levels expected of securities analysts or investors, our stock price is likely to decline.

We expect to continue to experience significant fluctuations in our results of operations due to a variety of factors, some of which are outside of our control, including:

As a result of these factors, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our revenue and operating results are not necessarily meaningful, and that these comparisons are not accurate indicators of future performance. Because our staffing and operating expenses are based on anticipated revenue levels, and because a high percentage of our costs are fixed, small variations in the timing of the recognition of specific revenue could cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter. If we are unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any revenue shortfall, any significant revenue shortfall would likely have an immediate negative effect on our operating results. If our operating results in one or more future quarters fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors, we would expect to experience an immediate and significant decline in the trading price of our stock.

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 quarterly operating results.

A significant proportion, generally 47% to 56%, of our sales are concentrated in the last month of each fiscal quarter. Gross margins are high for our license transactions. Customers and prospective customers may use these conditions in an attempt to obtain more favorable terms. While we endeavor to avoid making concessions that could result in lower margins, the negotiations often result in delays in closing license transactions. Small delays in a relatively small number of license transactions could have a significant impact on our reported operating results for that quarter.

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 then reduced our numbers to 1,102 at the end of 2001 and 449 at the end of 2002 and 367 at the end of 2003. As of December 31, 2004, we have a total of 337 employees. As a consequence of our employee base growing and then contracting so rapidly, we entered into significant contracts for facilities space for which we ultimately determined we did not have an immediate use. We announced during the third and fourth quarters of 2004 that we had agreed with the landlords of various facilities to renegotiate future lease commitments, extinguishing a total of approximately $155.0 million of future obligations. The management of the expansion and later reduction of our operations has taken a considerable amount of our management's attention during the past several years. As we manage our business to introduce and support new products, we will need to continue to monitor our workforce and make appropriate changes as necessary. If we are unable to support past and implement future changes effectively, we may have to divert additional resources away from executing our business plan and toward internal administration. If our expenses significantly outpace our revenues, we may have to make additional changes to our management systems and our business plan may not succeed.

Modifications to our business and operations may not result in a reduced cost structure as anticipated and may otherwise adversely impact our productivity.

Since 2000, we have substantially modified our business and operations in order to reduce our cost structure. These modifications included closing facilities, reducing liability for idle lease space and reducing our employee headcount, while maintaining sales efforts and providing continuing customer support by reallocating the workload among continuing employees. We may not realize anticipated reductions in our cost structure, which will delay or prevent us from achieving sustained profitability. In addition, these modifications may result in lower revenues as a result of the decreased headcount in our sales and marketing and professional services groups, or other adverse impacts on productivity that we did not anticipate.

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 product suite. These contracts are generally terminable by either party upon 30 days' notice of an uncured material breach or for convenience upon 90 days' notice prior to the end of any annual term. Termination of any of these alliances could harm our 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.

Competition with resellers could limit our sales opportunities and jeopardize these relationships.

We sell products through resellers and third-party systems integrators. In some instances, we target our direct selling efforts toward markets that are also served by some of these resellers. This competition may adversely impact our revenue by limiting our ability to sell our products and services directly in these markets and jeopardizing, or resulting in termination of, these relationships.

Failure to maintain relationships with third-party systems integrators could harm our ability to achieve our business plan.

Our relationships with third-party systems integrators who deploy our products have been a key factor in our overall business strategy, particularly because many of our current and prospective customers rely on integrators to develop, deploy and manage their online marketplaces. Our efforts to manage our relationships with systems integrators may not succeed, which could harm our ability to achieve our business plan due to a variety of factors, including:

We may be unable to manage or grow our international operations, which could impair our overall growth.

We derive a significant portion of our revenue from our operations outside North America. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, approximately 52% of our revenues were derived from international sales. If we are unable to manage or grow our existing international operations, we may not generate sufficient revenue required to establish and maintain these operations, which could slow our overall growth and impair our operating margins.

As we rely heavily on our operations outside of North America, we are subject to significant 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.

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

The market for our products is intensely competitive. We expect competition in this market to persist and increase in the future. If we fail to compete successfully with current or future competitors, we may be unable to attract and retain customers. Increased competition could also result in price reductions for our products and lower profit margins and reduced market share, any of which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, greater name recognition, a broader range of products and a larger installed customer base, any of which could provide them with a significant competitive advantage. In addition, new competitors, or alliances among existing and future competitors, may emerge and rapidly gain significant market share. Some of our competitors, particularly established software vendors, may also be able to provide customers with products and services comparable to ours at lower or at aggressively reduced prices in an effort to increase market share or as part of a broader software package they are selling to a customer. We may be unable to match competitors' prices or price reductions, and we may fail to win customers that choose to purchase an information technology solution as part of a broader software

and services package. As a result, 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. We hold a U.S. patent, issued in January 1998, on elements of the BroadVision platform, which covers electronic commerce operations common in today's web business. We also hold a U.S. patent, issued in November 1996, acquired as part of the Interleaf acquisition on the elements of the extensible electronic document processing system for creating new classes of active documents.

Although we hold these patents, they may not provide an adequate level of intellectual property protection. In addition, litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. It is also possible that third parties may claim we have infringed their patent, trademark, copyright or other proprietary rights. Claims may be made for indemnification resulting from allegations of infringement. Intellectual property infringement claims may be asserted against us as a result of the use by third parties of our products. Claims or litigation, with or without merit, 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", "iGuide", "BroadVision Self-Service Suite", "BroadVision Process", "BroadVision Commerce", "Broadvision Portal", "BroadVision Content" and Interleaf 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 us 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 OpenSSL and public key cryptography technology featuring the major encryption algorithms RC2 and MDS, to provide the security and authentication necessary to effect the secure exchange of confidential information. Advances in 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.

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 and Sybase, Informix object request broker software from IONA Technologies PLC, and database access technology from Rogue Wave Software. The loss or malfunction

of any of these technology licenses could harm our business. 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 Open SSL. 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. Problems with our 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 adversely affect our results of operations.

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 have restructured our operations by reducing our workforce and implementing 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 and recruiting future employees.

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 visitors of the possible dissemination of their personal data, could limit the effectiveness of our products. This in turn could adversely affect our sales and results of operations. One of the principal features of our 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 our 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. 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.

We may not have adequate back-up systems, and natural or manmade disasters could damage our operations, reduce our revenue and lead to a loss of customers.

We do not have fully redundant systems for service at an alternate site. A disaster could severely harm our business because our service could be interrupted for an indeterminate length of time. Our operations depend upon our ability to maintain and protect our computer systems at our facility in Redwood City, California, which reside on or near known earthquake fault zones. Although these systems are designed to be fault tolerant, they are vulnerable to damage from fire, floods, earthquakes, power loss, acts of terrorism, telecommunications failures and similar events. In addition, our facilities in California could be subject to electrical blackouts if California faces another power shortage similar to that of 2001. Although we do have a backup generator that would maintain critical operations, this generator could fail. We also have significantly reduced our workforce in a short period of time, which has placed different requirements on our systems and has caused us to lose personnel knowledgeable about our systems, both of which could make it more difficult to quickly resolve system disruptions. Disruptions in our internal business operations could harm our business by resulting in delays, disruption of our customers' business, loss of data, and loss of customer confidence.

The trading price of our common stock has been and is likely to continue to be highly volatile. For example, the trading price of our common stock has ranged from $2.05 per share to $9.05 per share between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2004. Our stock price is subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors, including:

In addition, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the trading prices of equity securities of many 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.

If we are required to raise additional funds, we may be unable to obtain these funds on terms acceptable to us or at all.

The operation of our business will require significant capital to fund our operating expenses, working capital needs and capital expenditures. During the next 12 months, we expect to meet our cash requirements with existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, cash flow from sales of our products and services and proceeds from existing and future working capital lines of credit and other borrowings. We may need to raise additional funds in the future, for example, to fund operations, develop new technologies, respond to competitive pressures or acquire complementary businesses. We may try to raise additional funds through public or private financings, strategic relationships or other arrangements. Our ability to obtain debt or equity funding will depend on a number of factors, including restrictive covenants contained in our current convertible note agreements and credit facilities, market conditions, our operating performance and investor interest. Additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to revise our business plan to reduce expenditures, including curtailing our growth strategies, foregoing acquisitions or reducing our product development efforts. Our failure to generate sufficient cash flows from sales of products and services or to raise sufficient funds may require us to delay or abandon some or all of our development plans or otherwise forego market opportunities. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, the issuance could result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders.

Our indebtedness and debt service obligations may adversely affect our cash flow.

As of September 2004, our obligations for debt payments were limited to our outstanding commercial credit facilities. In November 2004, we completed the private placement of $16.0 million of convertible notes. The private placement agreement provides for interest to be paid at six percent per annum on the outstanding principal balance, and an additional $4.0 million of convertible notes to be issued to the investors at the option of the investors or, under certain circumstances, at our option. Principal repayments are generally due under the notes in fifteen ratable, monthly amounts beginning June 1, 2005. Should we be legally unable to issue shares of our common stock upon conversion of the convertible notes, we will be required to pay those obligations in cash. We expect to be able to fulfill the above obligations both from cash generated by our operations and from our existing cash and investments. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash to meet these obligations and need to use existing cash or liquidate investments in order to fund our current debt service obligations, including repayment of the principal and payment of the convertible notes, we may have to further restructure our operations.

Our indebtedness could have significant additional negative consequences, including, but not limited to:

Issuance of the shares of common stock upon conversion of convertible notes, payment of interest, and exercise of warrants will dilute the ownership interest of existing stockholders and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

The issuance of shares of common stock in the following circumstances will dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders: (1) upon conversion of some or all of the convertible notes (including convertible notes issuable upon exercise of additional investment rights), (2) as obligations to repay principal under the convertible notes in lieu of cash payments at our option, (3) as interest on the convertible notes, and (4) upon exercise of the warrants. Any sales in the public market of this common stock could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock. In addition, the existence of these convertible notes and warrants may encourage short selling by market participants.

The convertible notes provide that upon the occurrence of various events of default and change of control transactions, the noteholders would be entitled to require us to redeem the notes for cash. If an event of default or change of control occurs, we may be unable to redeem the notes, and any redemption may leave us with little or no working capital in our business.

If our net cash balance falls below certain defined levels, we may be required to make additional payments to the noteholders, and any such cash payments may leave us with little or no working capital in our business.

So long as $5 million is outstanding under the convertible notes, we may be required to make additional payments under the notes if either of the following events occur: 1) our U.S. net cash balance falls below $10 million, or 2) our worldwide net cash balance falls below $15 million (each a "Net Cash Deficiency"). In either of these circumstances, we shall provide notice to the holders of the Net Cash Deficiency on the date of our quarterly results announcement. For a period of seven business days after our notice to the holders, each holder may provide us a notice requiring us to pay their proportional share of a special installment amount, equal to $1 million for all holders, monthly until there is no longer a Net Cash Deficiency at the end of a calendar quarter. Our payment of these additional amounts may be in cash and/or common stock pursuant to similar terms as the payment of regular installment amounts. Any requirement that we make any such payments in cash could leave us with insufficient working capital for our business.

If we cannot obtain the required stockholder approval to issue common stock at the time that an installment payment comes due under the convertible notes, the selling stockholders would be entitled to require us to immediately pay the amount owed in cash, and any such payment may leave us with little or no working capital in our business.

Stockholder approval will be required for us to pay certain installment payments under the convertible notes with shares of our common stock. In the event that stockholder approval is not

obtained, we will be required to pay such installment payments in cash. Any such payments in cash could leave us with insufficient working capital for our business.

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, 2004 and 2003. 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.

We consider all debt and equity securities with remaining maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Short-term cash investments consist of debt and equity securities that have a remaining maturity of less than one year as of the date of the balance sheet. Cash and cash investments that serve as collateral for financial instruments such as letters of credit are classified as restricted. Restricted cash in which the underlying instrument has a term of greater than twelve months from the balance sheet date are classified as non-current.

Management determines the appropriate classification of cash investments at the time of purchase and evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. All cash investments to date have been classified as available-for-sale and carried at fair value with related unrealized gains or losses reported as other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Total short-term and long-term investment unrealized gains (losses) was $49,000 as of December 31, 2003. Total realized gains during fiscal years 2004 and 2003 were $573,000 and $1.1 million, respectively.

Our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments consisted of the following as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands):

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. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments with four separate financial institutions. We market and sell our products throughout the world and perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers. We maintain reserves for potential credit losses. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, no customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue. As December 31, 2003, one customer individually accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable.

Our 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. 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.

We license products and maintain significant operations in foreign countries. Fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies, principally the Euro, relative to the United States dollar have impacted our operating results in the past and may do so in the future. We expect that international license, maintenance and consulting revenues will continue to account for a significant portion of our total revenues in the future. We pay the expenses of our international operations in local currencies and do not currently engage in hedging transactions with respect to such obligations.

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 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, 2004 was $574,000.

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

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

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BroadVision, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. 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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BroadVision, Inc. at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated March 11, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on management's assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting due the existence of material weaknesses.

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

We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that BroadVision, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management's assessment. As of December 31, 2004, (1) the Company's accounting and finance department was not adequately staffed, trained and supervised; (2) management's review of account reconciliations was not adequate to detect errors in certain account reconciliations, and (3) the Company's procedures for reviewing the accuracy of maintenance revenue data entered into the Company's accounting system were not adequate to detect keypunch or other errors or omissions. None of the foregoing control deficiencies resulted in adjustments to the 2004 annual or interim consolidated financial statements. However, each of these control deficiencies results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement to the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has determined that each of these control deficiencies constitutes a material weakness. These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the Company's consolidated

financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004, and this report does not affect our report dated March 11, 2005 on those consolidated financial statements.

In our opinion, management's assessment that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Also in our opinion, because of the effects of the material weaknesses described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on management's statements regarding corrective actions taken by the Company after December 31, 2004.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BroadVision, Inc as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 and our report dated March 11, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2004

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.

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.

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 SOP 97-2, as amended; SOP 98-9, and the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.

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. Revenue generated under reseller agreements is recognized upon obtaining evidence of the resale of the license rights from the reseller to one or more end users.

The Company recognizes revenue using the residual method pursuant to the requirements of SOP 97-2, as amended by SOP 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 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.

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.

Our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments consisted of the following as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands):

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 are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense, which is included in sales and marketing expense, amounted to $82,000, $122,000, and $571,000 in 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

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.

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 generally 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.

The Company has approved certain restructuring plans to, among other things, reduce its workforce and consolidate facilities. These restructuring charges were taken to align the Company's cost structure with changing market conditions and to create a more efficient organization. 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; (iii) other incremental costs incurred as a direct result of the restructuring plan; and (iv) impairment costs related to certain long-lived assets abandoned.

The Company accounts for severance and benefits termination costs in accordance with EITF 94-3 for exit or disposal activities initiated prior to January 1, 2003. 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 severance and benefits termination costs for exit or disposal activities initiated after January 1, 2003 in accordance with SFAS 146. SFAS 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.

Prior to the adoption on January 1, 2003 of SFAS 146, the Company accounted for the costs associated with lease termination and/or abandonment in accordance with EITF 88-10. Accordingly, the Company recorded the costs associated with lease termination and/or abandonment when the leased property has no substantive future use or benefit to the Company.

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 No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets 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. 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.

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.

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 and amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $3.7 million, $11.3 million, and $18.2 million, respectively. In 2004 the company recorded asset impairments in connection with the settlements reached with several landlords for termination of leases, including transferring ownership of certain furniture, fixtures, and leasehold improvements with a net book value of $8.5 million to the previous landlords. The Company recorded asset impairments of approximately $515,000 during fiscal 2003 in connection with the Company's restructuring plan, which are included in the restructuring charge recorded in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations. In 2002, the Company recorded a $3.1 million asset impairment from the physical count of the Company's assets.

The Company periodically assesses the impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 144. The Company assesses the impairment of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 142 as of January 1, 2002. Please see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

The Company accounts for employee stock-based awards in accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion 25, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 44 (FIN 44), Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation—an Interpretation of APB Opinion 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 123, 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 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.

The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations when accounting for its stock option and stock purchase plans. In accordance with APB Opinion 25, we apply the intrinsic value method in accounting for employee stock options. Accordingly, the Company generally recognizes no compensation expense with respect to stock-based awards to employees.

For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company recorded compensation income of $19,000 as a result of a vesting modification of a grant to a third-party consultant common stock in the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company recorded compensation expense of $342,000. This charge was recorded as a result of granting a third-party consultant shares of our common stock and a vesting modification to a grant for a terminated employee. The compensation charge was calculated using the Black-Scholes model. Of the total charge, $131,000 is recorded in general and administrative expense, $67,000 is recorded in sales and marketing expense and the remaining $144,000 is related to employees terminated under the Company's restructuring plan and therefore is included in the restructuring charge.

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 2,070,070, 365,049, and 555,278 shares to employees in the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Under SFAS 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 24 months, and the following weighted-average assumptions:

The weighted-average fair value of the purchase rights granted in the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, was $4.04, $1.22, and $2.94, 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,
	2004		2003		2002
Expected life	3.5 years		3.5 years		3.5 years
Risk-fee interest rate	3.61	%	2.90	%	1.93	%
Volatility	108	%	118	%	122	%

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 123. 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 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):

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.

Basic income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, less shares subject to repurchase. Diluted income (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. The following table sets forth the basic and diluted net income (loss) per share computational data for the periods presented. Excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share

for the years ended December 31, 2003, and 2002, are options and warrants to acquire 1,231,000, and 552,000 shares of common stock, respectively, because their effects would be anti-dilutive.

During fiscal 2004, the Company changed the functional currencies of all foreign subsidiaries from the U.S. dollar to the local currency of the respective countries. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates for the period. 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.

Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss), which consists of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities and cumulative translation adjustments. Total comprehensive income (loss) is presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Equity. Total accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is displayed as a separate component of stockholder's equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The

accumulated balances for each classification of comprehensive income (loss) consist of the following, net of taxes (in thousands):

	Unrealized Gain (Loss) in Available-for-Sale Securities			Foreign Currency Translation			Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Balance, December 31, 2001	$	(5,245	)	$	—		$	(5,245	)
Net change during period		5,282			—			5,282

Net change during period		49			(172	)		(123	)

Balance, December 31, 2004	$	—		$	(172	)	$	(172	)

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.

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.

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

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." FIN 46 expands upon and strengthens existing accounting guidance that addresses when a company should include in its financial statements the assets, liabilities and activities of another entity. A variable interest entity is a corporation, partnership, trust, or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (i) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (ii) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or is entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to older entities in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after December 15, 2003. Disclosure requirements apply to any financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 146 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS 150 requires that certain financial instruments, which under previous guidance were accounted for as equity, must now be accounted for as liabilities. The financial instruments affected include mandatorily redeemable stock, certain financial instruments that require or may require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for cash or other assets and certain obligations that can be settled with shares of stock. SFAS 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 150 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. SFAS 153 specifies that a nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS 153 is effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2005. We do not expect that adoption of SFAS 153 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or liquidity.

Total property and equipment, net	$	3,566		$	15,400

Depreciation and amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 was $3.7 million, $11.3 million, and $18.2 million, respectively. In 2004, the Company transferred ownership of certain furniture, fixtures, and leasehold improvements with a net book value of $8.5 million to previous landlords as a part of a settlement relating to future real estate obligations. The Company recorded asset impairments of approximately $515,000 during fiscal 2003 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. In 2002, the Company recorded a $3.1 million asset impairment as a result of the physical inventories of the Company's assets.

On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer subject to amortization 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. Pursuant to SFAS 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. The Company concluded that, based upon the market value of its stock in relation to the Company's net book value at December 31, 2004 and 2003, there was no impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.

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 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, 2004.

Additionally, upon adoption of SFAS 141 and 142, the Company no longer amortizes its non-technology based intangible asset, or assembled workforce. Amortization expense for completed technology intangibles was $886,000 and $3.5 million in 2003 and 2002, respectively. As of December 31, 2003, completed technology intangibles had been fully amortized.

In November 2004, the Company entered into a definitive agreement for the private placement of up to $20.0 million of convertible debentures to five institutional investors. The Company issued an initial $16.0 million of debentures, which will be convertible into common stock at a fixed conversion price of $2.76 per share. The notes bear interest at a rate of six percent per annum and are repayable in either cash or common stock beginning in June 2005 for a period of up to three years, depending on the occurrence of certain events. Payment of both principal and interest may be made in either cash or, provided that the Company obtains shareholder approval, common stock of the Company. The Company intends to pay these debentures by issuing stock. As of December 31, 2004, a total of $16.0 million in face value convertible debentures was outstanding. These debentures are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2004, at the discounted amount of $12.0 million. The

Company is recording the difference between the face value and discounted amount as additional interest expense over the estimated life of the debentures. The Company may be required to make additional repayments of up to $1 million per month under the notes, contingent upon maintaining certain minimum net cash on hand balances. Our payment of these additional amounts may be in cash and/or common stock pursuant to similar terms as the payment of regular installment amounts. In connection with this transaction, the Company also issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. See Note 9.

As December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, outstanding term debt borrowings were approximately $1.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively. Borrowings bear interest at the bank's prime rate (5.25% as of December 31, 2004 and 4.00% as of December 31, 2003) plus up to 1.25%. Principal and interest are due in monthly payments through maturity based on the terms of the facilities. Principal payments of $637,000 are due in 2005, and payments of $390,000 are due thereafter.

In November 2004, the Company renewed and amended its revolving credit facility. The amount available under the revolving line of credit is $20.0 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 (5.25% as of December 31, 2004 and 4.0% as of December 31, 2003). As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, $20.0 million and $27.0 million, respectively, remaining outstanding under the Company's renewed and amended revolving credit facility.

The Company has provided a valuation allowance for all of its deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, due to the uncertainty regarding their future realization. The total valuation allowance decreased $29.8 million from December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2004. The decrease in valuation allowance relates primarily to changes in accrued liabilities. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had federal and state operating loss carryforwards of approximately $446.4 million and $121.3 million 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 $11.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively, available to offset future tax liabilities. The Company's federal net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards expire in the tax years 2005 through 2024, if not utilized. The state net operating loss carryforwards expire in the tax years 2005 through 2014. The state research and development credits can be carried forward indefinitely.

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.

During the year, the Company performed additional procedures to determine the amount of tax attribute carry-forwards. As a result of this analysis, a decrease in the Deferred Tax Assets and a corresponding Valuation Allowance was made. Since there is a full Valuation Allowance on the Deferred Tax Assets, there is no provision impact as a result of this change.

In accordance with SFAS 5, the Company maintains reserves for estimated income tax exposures for many jurisdictions when the exposure item becomes probable and estimable. Exposures are settled primarily through the settlement of audits within each individual tax jurisdiction or the closing of a statute of limitation. Exposures can also be affected by changes in applicable tax law or other factors, which may cause management to believe a revision of past estimates is appropriate. Management believes that an appropriate liability has been established for income tax exposures; however, actual results may differ materially from these estimates. As of December 31, 2004, the Company has recorded tax contingency reserves of approximately $3.1 million.

The Company provides a warranty to its customers that its software will perform substantially in accordance with documentation typically for a period of 90 days following receipt of the software. The Company also indemnifies certain customers from third-party claims of intellectual property infringement relating to the use of its products. Historically, costs related to these guarantees have not been significant and the Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential impact of these guarantees on its future results of operations.

Our software license agreements typically provide for indemnification of customers for intellectual property infringement claims. To date, no such claims have been filed against us.

The Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer is, or was, serving in such capacity. The term of the indemnification period is for so long as such officer or director is subject to an indemnifiable event by reason of the fact that such person was serving in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has a director and officer insurance policy that limits its exposure and enables the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. As a result of the Company's insurance policy coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is

insignificant. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of either December 31, 2004 or 2003. The Company assesses the need for an indemnification reserve on a quarterly basis and there can be no guarantee that an indemnification reserve will not become necessary in the future.

The Company leases its headquarters facility and its other facilities under noncancelable operating lease agreements expiring through the year 2010. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company is required to pay property taxes, insurance and normal maintenance costs.

In January 2000, the Company entered into a limited partnership agreement with a venture capital firm under which it was obligated to contribute capital based upon the periodic funding requirements. The total capital commitment was $2.0 million, of which $1.1 million had been contributed through December 31, 2003. In September 2004, the Company sold its interest in the partnership agreement for approximately $576,000 in cash and recorded a loss of approximately $230,000. That loss is included in "Other Income (Expense), net" in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. As a result of this sale, the Company's obligation to make future capital contributions has been extinguished.

Commitments totaling $24.3 million and $19.8 million in the form of standby letters of credit were issued on the Company's behalf from financial institutions as of December 31, 2004 and 2003,

respectively, in favor of the Company's various landlords to secure obligations under the Company's facility leases.

On June 7, 2001, Verity, Inc. filed suit against the Company alleging copyright infringement, breach of contract, unfair competition and other claims. In August 2003, the Company reached a confidential settlement with Verity, Inc. with respect to our outstanding litigation. The detailed terms and conditions of this settlement are confidential and cannot be disclosed without the consent of each party. The settlement did not have a material effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.

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 Company settled with Avalon Partners, Inc., doing business as Cresa Partners ("Cresa") with a one-time payment of $2.2 million to Cresa in April 2003.

On January 7, 2005, we announced that we had reached agreement with the SEC to settle administrative proceedings in connection with the restatement of our financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2001. No fines or financial penalties associated with the settlement. Without admitting or denying any wrongdoing, we consented to the SEC's entry of an administrative order that included findings that we issued a false and misleading earnings press release and misleading quarterly report. The order requires that we cease and desist from committing or causing violations of specified provisions of the federal securities laws. The SEC found that a former executive in charge of professional services who left BroadVision in 2002 was responsible for the improper accounting. The restatement concerned revenue related to one software license agreement. Following receipt of payment in full by the customer, we recognized revenue on that agreement in its entirety in the third quarter of 2001. We subsequently determined that the revenue should instead be recognized ratably over the four-year life of the agreement, and announced on April 1, 2002 that we were restating our financial statements for the third quarter of 2001 to effect this change. We have been accounting for the revenue ratably in all periods since the third quarter of 2001.

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 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.

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 our cost structure with changing market conditions and to create a more efficient organization. In fiscal 2004, the Company reached agreement with several landlords to extinguish approximately $155 million of obligations related to excess facility leases, which contributed to a pre-tax net restructuring credit during the year of $23.5 million. Pre-tax restructuring charges of $35.4 million and $110.4 million were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. For each period, 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. Adjustments to the restructuring accrual will be made in future periods, if necessary, based upon the then current actual events and circumstances.

The following table summarizes the restructuring accrual activity recorded during the three-years ended December 31, 2004 (in thousands):

	Severance and Benefits			Facilities/ Excess Assets			Total
Accrual balances, December 31, 2001	$	930		$	89,859		$	90,789

Accrual balances, December 31, 2004	$	824		$	33,339		$	34,163

The severance and benefits accrual for each period includes severance, payroll taxes and COBRA benefits related to restructuring plans implemented prior to the balance sheet date. The facilities/excess assets accrual for each period included future minimum lease payments, fees and expenses, net of estimated sublease income and planned company occupancy, and related leasehold improvement amounts payable subsequent to the balance sheet date for which the provisions of EITF 94-3 or

SFAS 146, as applicable, were satisfied. See further discussion below. In determining estimated future sublease income, the following factors were considered, among others: 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 facilities.

Severance and benefits—The Company recorded a related charge of $1.1 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, related to workforce reductions as a component of the Company's restructuring plans executed during the year. The Company estimates that the accrual as of December 31, 2004, will be paid in full by December 31, 2005.

Facilities/excess assets—During the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, the Company recorded a facilities-related restructuring credit of $24.7 million. During the third and fourth quarters of 2004, the Company reached agreements with certain landlords to extinguish approximately $155 million of future real estate obligations. The Company made cash payments of $19.0 million during the third quarter and $1.7 million during the fourth quarter, and is, as of December 31, 2004, obligated to make additional cash payments of $21.9 million in fiscal 2005. Standby letters of credit of $21.9 million were issued on our behalf from financial institutions as of December 31, 2004, in favor of the landlords to secure the fiscal 2005 payments. Accordingly, $21.9 million, along with additional letters of credit securing other long-term leases of $2.3 million, has been included in restricted cash in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2004. The Company also transferred ownership of certain furniture, fixtures, and leasehold improvements with a net book value of $8.5 million to the previous landlords.

As a component of the settlement of one of the previous leases, the Company has a residual lease obligation beginning in 2007 of approximately $9.1 million. The Company may make an additional cash payment of $4.5 million if it exercises an option to terminate this residual real estate obligation prior to the commencement of the lease term (January 2007). This option to terminate the residual lease obligation is accounted for in accordance with SFAS 146 and is a part of the restructuring credit of $24.6 million recorded in fiscal 2004.

As of December 31, 2004, $2.8 million of estimated future sublease income is netted against the restructuring accrual.

Severance and benefits—The $1.5 million charge in fiscal 2003 related to workforce reductions as a component of the Company's restructuring plans executed during the year.

These revisions were necessary due to a reduction in planned future BroadVision space needs and a further decline in the market for commercial real estate. The Company estimated future sublease timing and rates based upon current market indicators and information obtained from a third party real estate expert.

Severance and benefits—The Company recorded a charge of approximately $8.7 million during fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 for restructuring-related severance and benefit costs. Included in the $8.7 million is $107,000 of non-cash charges related to 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 the Company's 2001 restructuring plan. Approximately $8.0 million of severance and benefits and other costs were paid out during fiscal 2002 and the remaining $1.0 million of severance, payroll taxes and COBRA benefits was paid through December 31, 2003. The Company's 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 departments within the Company. The employment of approximately 525 employees was terminated during fiscal year 2002.

As of December 31, 2004, the total restructuring accrual of $34.2 million consisted of the following (in millions):

		Current		Non-Current		Total
Severance and Termination		$	0.9	$	—	$	0.9
Excess Facilities			25.4		7.9		33.3

	Total	$	26.3	$	7.9	$	34.2

The Company estimates that the $0.9 million severance and termination accrual will be paid in full by December 31, 2005. We expect to pay the excess facilities amounts related to restructured or abandoned leased space as follows (in millions):

As of December 31, 2004, 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, 2004, the following warrants to purchase the Company's common stock were outstanding:

Description	Shares	Price per Share
Issued to landlord in real estate buyout transaction in August 2004	700,000	$	5.00
Issued to convertible debenture investors in November 2004	1,739,130		3.58
Others issued in connection with revenue transactions in 1997 and 2000	9,629		Various

Total shares and average price per share	2,448,759	$	4.71

The warrant issued in connection with the real estate transaction has a term of five years, and is exercisable beginning in August 2005. The warrant issued in connection with the convertible debentures also has a term of five years and is exercisable beginning in May 2005.

In accordance with EITF 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock," the warrants have been included as a short-term liability and were originally valued at fair value on the date of issuance. The warrants are revalued each period until and unless the warrants are exercised. During fiscal 2004, the Company recorded charges related to the change in fair value from the date of issuance of the 2004 warrants to December 31, 2004, of $754,000. This amount is included as a component of Other Income (Expense), net, in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. If the warrants are exercised prior to their termination, their carrying value will be transferred to equity.

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 July 29, 2002. Each nine shares of outstanding common stock of the Company automatically converted into one share of common stock. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related financial information contained herein have been retroactively restated to give effect for this stock split.

During fiscal 2003 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 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. During the year ended December 31, 2004, no shares were repurchased. There were 133 unvested shares that were repurchased by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2003 at a weighted-average price of $7.81. As of December 31, 2002, 270 shares were subject to repurchase.

The Company's President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") has options to purchase 1,704,444 shares of common stock at an average exercise price of $38.63 per share. The table below is a summary of shares granted through December 31, 2004:

For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company recorded compensation income of $19,000 as a result of a vesting modification of a grant to a third-party consultant common stock in the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2003 the Company recorded compensation expense of $342,000. 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. $131,000 of the charge is recorded in general and administrative expense, $67,000 is recorded in sales and marketing and the remaining $144,000 is included in restructuring charge as it related to employees terminated under the Company's restructuring plan.

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.

The Company provides for a defined contribution employee retirement plan in accordance with section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Eligible employees are entitled to contribute up to 50% of their annual compensation, subject to certain limitations ($13,000, with an additional $3,000 catch up for persons 50 years and older for the year ended December 31, 2004).

The Company operates in one segment, electronic business commerce solutions. The Company's reportable segment includes the Company's facilities in North and South America (Americas), Europe and Asia Pacific and the Middle East (Asia/Pacific). The Company's chief operating decision maker is considered to be the Company's CEO.

On January 7, 2005, the Company reached agreement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to settle administrative proceedings in connection with the Company's restatement of its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2001. There were no fines or financial penalties associated with the settlement. Without admitting or denying any wrongdoing, BroadVision consented to the Commission's entry of an administrative order that included findings that the Company issued a false and misleading earnings press release and misleading quarterly report. The order requires that the Company cease and desist from committing or causing violations of specified provisions of the federal securities laws. The SEC found that a former executive in charge of professional services who left the Company in 2002 was responsible for the improper accounting. The restatement concerned revenue related to one software license agreement. Following receipt of payment in full by the customer, the Company recognized revenue on that agreement in its entirety in the third quarter of 2001. The Company subsequently determined that the revenue should instead be recognized ratably over the four-year life of the agreement, and announced on April 1, 2002 that it was restating its financial statements for the third quarter of 2001 to effect this change. The Company has been accounting for the revenue ratably in all periods since the third quarter of 2001.

On June 10, 2004, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("MetLife") filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, naming the Company as a defendant. The complaint alleged that the Company was liable for unlawful detainer of premises leased from the plaintiff. The plaintiff thereafter filed a First Amended Complaint alleging that the Company no longer held possession of the premises but was in breach of the lease. On February 10, 2005, the Company announced that MetLife and the Company reached agreement and executed documents regarding a settlement of the pending lawsuit under which the Company will pay MetLife an aggregate of $1,927,500 in consideration for termination of the lease, dismissal of the lawsuit and in full settlement of approximately $3.1 million of past and future lease obligations. The first of three installment payments was made in February 2005, with the second due in May 2005 and the third due in September 2005. This settlement is not expected to have a significant impact on our Consolidated Results of Operations in the quarter ending March 31, 2005.

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

Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in the rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) for our company. Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2004, the end of the period covered by this report. This conclusion was based on the identification of three material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, as described in the following subsection.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

An internal control material weakness is a significant deficiency, or aggregation of deficiencies, that does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that material misstatements in financial statements will be prevented or detected on a timely basis by employees in the normal course of their work. An internal control significant deficiency, or aggregation of deficiencies, is one that could result in a misstatement of the financial statements that is more than inconsequential.

In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Because of the material weaknesses described in the preceding paragraphs, our management believes that, as of December 31, 2004, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on those criteria.

Our independent auditors have issued an attestation report on management's assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. It appears on page 57.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, we implemented the following changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting:

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial 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 controls. 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, controls 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. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.
