Item 1. Business.
Our Company
Our mission is to be the premier customer care services company and help our clients be more successful in acquiring, servicing, and retaining their customers
ZAMBA Corporation is a customer care services company. We help our clients be more successful in acquiring, servicing, and retaining their customers. Having served over 300 clients, ZAMBA is focused exclusively on customer-centric services by leveraging best practices and best-in-class technologies to enable insightful, consistent interactions across all customer touch points. We provide strategy and business process consulting, as well as customization and systems integration for software applications, which we call packages, that our clients purchase from third parties. Based on our expertise and experience, we have created a framework of interdependent processes and technologies to help our clients, including strategy, analytics and marketing, contact center, content and commerce, field sales, field service and enterprise integration. These help our clients to implement standard methods for interacting with their customers, by integrating multiple technology-based sales, marketing, and service channels, such as the Internet, telephone, fax, email, wireless, and direct.
Our specific solution offerings include:
Strategy & Alignment This helps organizations in the creation of a customer-centric vision that is in alignment with their business strategies. It defines the processes of change management and enterprise transformation necessary for the successful execution of the strategies in business. This offering results in the development of a business case and a comprehensive roadmap, detailing specific customer care solutions that will provide consistent and integrated customer experience models and business processes;
2
Customer Care Diagnostic This helps organizations assess their progress toward achieving the desired customer centric model and identify ways to generate tangible business benefits for their investments.
Analytics & Marketing This helps organizations build a comprehensive repository of customer data, prepare that data for use through a variety of data analysis and data mining techniques, and then apply the insights developed to online and offline marketing activities, based on predictive models and real-time reactions to customer behaviors;
Content & Commerce This advances brand awareness and enhances multiple touch points by enabling enterprises to market and sell directly to customers online through the efficient creation, management and delivery of personalized transactive content, products and services;
Contact Center This helps organizations engage their customers in a multi-channel customer interaction center that provides superior service and consistent experiences, as well as cross-sell and up-sell activities via live agents or automated interactions;
Field Sales This allows organizations to shorten sales cycles and increase the probability of sales success through effective contact, lead, activity, opportunity, pipeline, account, commissions and territory management;
Field Service This helps organizations more efficiently provide customer service and support through the management of service requests, workforce scheduling, contracts, repair process tracking, service part usage, ordering and return, and defect tracking and reporting; and
Enterprise Integration This enables the design and implementation of unified business processes and technology systems across the extended enterprise in order to link customer facing applications to one another, as well as to other systems, including Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), supply chain and legacy, thereby aligning organizational processes and functions to deliver value to customers.
Prior to 1998, we derived a substantial amount of our revenue from the sales of proprietary hardware and software that originally enabled data communication over specialized mobile radio (SMR) technology and, eventually, most types of wireless networks. In September 1998, we completed our acquisition of the QuickSilver Group, Inc. (QuickSilver), a customer care consulting company specializing in software package implementation for call center management, sales automation, marketing automation, and automated field service and field sales. This acquisition enabled us to expand our consulting and systems integration capabilities and geographic presence.
In 1998, less than 4% of our revenue was derived from the sale of proprietary hardware and software. Since 1999, less than 1% of our revenue was derived from the sale of proprietary hardware and software. We now exclusively provide customer care services as described above.
We currently derive a portion of our revenue from sales outside the United States. Approximately 11% of our 2002 revenues and 10% of our 2001 revenues were derived from customers located in Canada, including Enbridge Services, which is one of our larger accounts. In 2000, less than 1% of our revenues were derived from Enbridge, and we received no other revenue from customers outside the United States. Any long-lived assets located in foreign countries were immaterial for the past three fiscal years.
Industry Background
Customer-centric business strategies are used by businesses and governmental organizations to enhance their customers access to and experience with their enterprise through multiple channels of communication, including the Internet, telephone, and direct sales. In addition, organizations implement Customer-centric business strategies to increase their knowledge of their customers preferences and needs.
The ability to profitably attract, retain, service and expand customer relationships is critical to success in todays highly competitive market. As companies implement tools and best practices to enhance their customer management abilities, they are realizing the importance of providing consistent, high quality customer experiences. Because customers will no longer accept different treatments through different channels, companies must have an effective multi-channel approach for customer interactions. However, integrating multiple channels with existing enterprise systems requires an enterprise-wide strategic vision, business process management skills and technology expertise. To meet this challenge, organizations are seeking assistance from third party service providers. However, in the past twelve to
3
eighteen months, there has been a pronounced decline in customer spending for information technology consulting services. There is no assurance that expenditures for information technology consulting services will return to their former levels.
We primarily target large and mid-size corporations. We have proven our expertise by implementing solutions for over 300 clients since 1998. Best Buy, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Enbridge Services and Union Bank of California, each accounted for over 10% of our revenues in 2002. Best Buy, Nortel Networks, and Enbridge Services, each accounted for over 10% of our revenues in 2001. Best Buy was the only customer who accounted for more than 10% of our revenues in 2000.
In order to deliver best-in-class solutions, we have established alliances with some of the worlds leading software companies and technology providers. Some of the companies that we have worked with in the past year include Amdocs, Art Technology Group, Aspect Communications, Genesys, Informatica, Interwoven, Microsoft, PeopleSoft, and Siebel Systems. We also have a relationship with HCL Technologies (HCL), a technology consulting company based in India, under which we have used HCLs lower-cost offshore consultants to provide services to our clients. This relationship grew out of a prior strategic alliance with HCL that we entered into during the first quarter of 2002. We mutually agreed with HCL to terminate our strategic alliance during the fourth quarter of 2002.
At the present time, we do not have material contracts with any of these companies. However, some of these relationships are important to us for the referrals they may provide. Currently, our most significant alliances in terms of revenue opportunities are with Amdocs, Aspect, Microsoft and PeopleSoft. In many instances, these companies sell their software packages to customers, and we then provide customization and systems integration. In other cases, our clients request that we assist in determining the most appropriate software and technology packages to meet their needs.
Ownership in NextNet Wireless, Inc.
We own a material share of NextNet Wireless, Inc. (NextNet), a private corporation that develops non-line-of-sight broadband wireless access platforms that provide telecommunications carriers with solutions for rapid deployment of high-speed, two-way voice and data services over the last mile of the communications network. Our chairman, Joseph B. Costello, is also the chairman and a shareholder of NextNet. Another one of our directors, Dixon Doll, is also a director and a shareholder of NextNet. Additionally, another director of Zamba, Sven Wehrwein, is a consultant for NextNet. We originally recorded our NextNet holdings at $0 because it was uncertain whether we would ever realize any value from our holdings.
As described in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we received approximately $5.22 million from various parties for selling a portion of our NextNet stock holdings during 2002. Our ownership of NextNet was approximately 1.3 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock at December 31, 2002 and 2.4 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock at December 31, 2001. Our ownership of NextNet also decreased by approximately 177,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the first quarter of 2003 from sales to two private investors totaling $750,000. Of our remaining shares, we have placed an aggregate of 583,333 in an escrow account as collateral for our loan from Entrx Corporation. In addition, we issued a warrant to an investor affiliated with a prior purchaser of NextNet shares from us, to purchase 125,000 additional shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in NextNet from us at $6.00 per share, any time prior to the close of business on May 17, 2004.
Competition
The services integration market is highly competitive and served by numerous global, national, regional and local firms. The market includes participants from a variety of market segments, including consulting and systems integration firms, contract programming companies, application software firms and their professional services groups, and teleservice and contact center outsourcers.
4
We believe that our primary competitors include:
Large systems integrators or management consulting firms (e.g., Accenture, IBM, BearingPoint, EDS)
CRM consulting companies (e.g., Akibia, Braun, E-Loyalty, Inforte)
In addition to these external competitors, we also face competition from the professional service organizations of customer care product vendors and the information technology departments within potential client companies. Some of our competitors, particularly large systems integrators, may have a pre-existing relationship with many of our potential customers, either through non-customer-centric services that they provide to such customers or, in the case of large management consulting firms, through audit or other non-audit services those management consulting firms provide to our current or potential clients.
We differ from nearly all of our competitors by our exclusive focus on customer centric services. Our highly skilled consultants work closely with clients to implement industry best practices through technologies and business processes that drive business value.
In addition to facing a large number of potential competitors, many of our competitors also have certain advantages over us, including:
better name recognition;
a broader range of products and services;
greater sales, marketing, distribution and technical capabilities;
greater revenues and financial resources; and
established market positions.
We believe that the principal competitive factors in the systems integration industry include technical expertise, responsiveness to client needs, speed in delivering solutions, quality of service and perceived value. We also believe that our ability to compete depends in part on a number of competitive factors outside our control, including the ability of our competitors to hire, retain, and motivate employees, the price at which other companies offer comparable services, and the extent of our competitors responsiveness to customer needs. We believe that technological changes, the decreased spending on information technology consulting services by many current and potential clients, and industry consolidation or new entrants will continue to cause a rapid evolution in the competitive environment of the industry. At this time, it is difficult to predict the full scope and nature of this evolution. Increased competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins on technology consulting services, and a further loss of revenue. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully with existing or new competitors or that competitive pressures will not materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
People are the most important ingredient in our success, and we attempt to foster programs to make ZAMBA a fulfilling and rewarding place to work. Our goal of helping clients satisfy their customers needs profitably, is achieved through the relationships our people build with our clients. As of December 31, 2002, we had 63 employees, mainly throughout North America. Of that total, 44 individuals were in our professional staff, and 19 were in administrative roles and business development. During 2002 and 2001, as a result of the restructuring of our business, we reduced the number of our employees significantly through involuntary workforce reductions. Additional information concerning our restructuring in 2002 and 2001 is contained in Item 7 of this report.
Our employees are not parties to any collective bargaining agreements, and we believe that relations with our employees are good.
Proprietary Rights
Our success is dependent upon our software deployment and consulting methodologies and other intellectual property rights. The value that we provide to our clients is more dependent on our ability to help our clients identify strategic business benefits and to provide project management and delivery skills than it
5
is on any particular piece of technology that we have developed. We rely upon a combination of trade secret, nondisclosure and other contractual arrangements and technical measures to protect our proprietary rights. We generally enter into confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants, clients and potential clients and limit access to, and distribution of, our propriety information. There can be no assurance that our actions will be adequate to deter misappropriation of our propriety information or that we will be able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce our intellectual property rights.
One component of our services is to develop custom software applications in connection with specific client engagements. Ownership of such software is generally assigned to our clients. In addition, we also develop object-oriented software components that can be reused in software application development and certain foundation and application software products, or software tools, most of which remain our property.
Although we believe that our services and products do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, there can be no assurance that such a claim will not be asserted against us in the future.
Web Site Access to SEC Filings
Our Web site address is www.zambasolutions.com. We make our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports available free of charge on our Web site as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with the SEC.
Item 2. Properties.
Our headquarters facility consists of approximately 10,000 square feet located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The facility is leased pursuant to an agreement that expires in December 2005. We also maintain approximately 1,000 square feet of executive office space under short-term leases in San Jose, California and Toronto, Canada.
During 2002, we completed the significant reduction of our office space begun in 2001. We reduced the size of our headquarters facility, which had been approximately 27,000 square feet, by returning approximately 17,000 to our landlord. We also terminated leases for approximately 75,000 square feet in Campbell and Pleasanton, California; Colorado Springs and Parker, Colorado; Boston, Massachusetts; St. Paul, Minnesota, and Toronto, Ontario. We also transferred a facility in Chennai, India to HCL Technologies. Had they run to full term, the leases for the North American facilities that we terminated would have expired at various times through June 2007. With the exception of the lease for the Parker, Colorado, facility, which terminated at the end of September 2002, we negotiated buyouts of all of the leases for these facilities during 2002.
We accrued various charges related to our lease terminations, including the following amounts in the quarter indicated: $1.17 million in the second quarter of 2001, $175,000 in the fourth quarter of 2001, $1.34 million in the first quarter of 2002, and $1.19 million in the second quarter of 2002. As a result, future obligations for our office leases have decreased to approximately $1.85 million as of December 31, 2002, including $850,000 owed for lease termination settlements to be paid in 2003. This is a decrease of approximately $11.06 million or 86% from the approximately $12.91 million of future facility obligations that we were responsible for as of December 31, 2001.
Further information regarding our lease termination agreements for facilities is contained in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Additional information about our remaining lease obligations are set forth in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The following is a summary of our current legal proceedings.
6
On August 5, 2002, our former president and CEO, Doug Holden, notified us that he believes we breached his severance agreement with us following the separation of his employment. Mr. Holden has requested continued payroll and benefits and continued vesting of stock options for six months from June 27, 2002, the date of his separation. Mr. Holdens annual salary at the time of his separation was $240,000. Mr. Holden has offered to resolve this matter for $120,000, plus the value of his benefits and continued vesting of his options. We believe that we have valid defenses to Mr. Holdens claims and/or that Mr. Holden is not entitled to the items he is requesting. The timing and ultimate resolution of Mr. Holdens claims are uncertain at this time.
We are also subject to other various legal proceedings and claims that we do not believe are material either separately or in the aggregate.
In addition to these matters, we settled other actual or threatened legal proceedings during 2002. These settlements were discussed in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30 and September 30, 2002. The settlements discussed in the September 30 quarterly report include the items described below.
On March 13, 2003, we reached an agreement with Key Equipment Finance, to terminate our lease for office furniture and settle related litigation. Under the agreement, we will pay a total of $145,000 in various installment payments from the settlement date through December 2003. Key had previously filed a complaint against us in Hennepin County District Court in Minneapolis, Minnesota alleging that we had breached leases for office furniture. This action was dismissed with prejudice upon settlement.
On October 10, 2002, we reached an agreement with Army Corps Operating Associates (Army Corps), to terminate our lease for a facility in St. Paul, Minnesota, and settle related litigation. Under the termination and release for this facility, we will pay a total of $500,000 in various installment payments from October 2002 through September 2003. As of March 15, 2003, we have paid $225,000 of the settlement amount.
On October 10, 2002, we reached an agreement with WTA Campbell Technology Park LLC (WTA), to terminate our lease for a facility in Campbell, California, and settle related litigation. Under the termination and release for this facility, we will pay a total of $729,300 in various installment payments from October 2002 through August 2003. As of March 15, 2003, we have paid $411,000 of the settlement amount.
On September 27, 2002, we entered into a settlement agreement with a furniture lessor, Fidelity Equipment Leasing, that had threatened to bring an action against us for an alleged breach of five equipment leases. We agreed to pay a total of $120,000 from September 2002 through April 2003 in exchange for termination of the lease and a release of Fidelitys claims. As of March 15, 2003, we have paid $105,000 of the settlement amount.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
No matters were submitted to a vote of our stockholders during the fourth quarter of 2002.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
ZAMBA Corporation is a premier customer care services company. We help our clients be more successful in: acquiring, servicing, and retaining their customers. We work with our clients to help them to increase their customers access to the enterprise through the use of multiple channels of communication, including the internet, call-based routing, and sales force automation, and to increase the enterprises knowledge of the preferences and needs of its customers. Based on our expertise and experience, we have created solutions that we believe address each aspect of a customer-centric, including strategy, marketing and analytics, content and commerce, contact center, field sales, field service and enterprise integration. We also own approximately 12% of the equity in NextNet Wireless, Inc., a private corporation that develops non-line-of-sight broadband wireless access platforms that provide telecommunications carriers with solutions for rapid deployment of high-speed, two-way voice and data services over the last mile of the communications network. Our chairman, Joseph B. Costello, is also the chairman of NextNet Wireless, Inc. Another of our directors, Dixon Doll, is also a director and a shareholder of NextNet Wireless, Inc. Additionally, another director of Zamba, Sven Wehrwein, is a consultant for NextNet.
We currently derive most of our revenues from systems integration services, including business case evaluation, system planning and design, software package implementation, custom software development, training, installation and change management. Our revenues and earnings may fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter based on the number, size and scope of projects in which we are engaged, the contractual terms and degree of completion of such projects, any delays incurred in connection with a project, the adequacy of provisions for losses, the accuracy of estimates of resources required to complete ongoing projects, and general economic conditions and other factors. Consequently, the results of operations described in this report may not be indicative of results to be achieved in future periods. In addition, revenues from a large client may constitute a significant portion of our total revenues in any particular quarter.
We incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations during the year ended December 31, 2002. We also had a negative working capital of $2.64 million and a stockholders deficit of $2.33 million at December 31, 2002. To fund operations we raised $9.40 million in funding in 2002 and the first quarter of 2003. This is discussed in more detail in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this report.
Restructuring Charges and Non-Recurring Items
We incurred unusual charges in the first and second quarters of 2002 that, in the aggregate, were equivalent to approximately 30% of our 2002 revenue. In the first quarter of 2002, we incurred unusual charges of $1.69 million for facility and employment matters, and in the second quarter of 2002, we incurred unusual charges of $1.64 million for facility and non-cash compensation matters. Included in the first quarter charges was a $1.34 million charge related to the leases for our Campbell, California, and Colorado Springs, Colorado, facilities, and included in the second quarter charges this amount was a $1.19 million charge for facility closings and lease termination costs. The second quarter facility charges included $190,000 for closing our Boston, Massachusetts, facility, $290,000 for reducing the amount of space we occupy in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and $713,000 for increasing the accrual for terminating our St. Paul, Minnesota and Campbell, California facilities to amounts consistent with buy-out offers made by our landlords. We subsequently reached termination agreements with our St. Paul and Campbell landlords. Upon completion of the termination payments to our St. Paul and Campbell landlords during the third quarter of 2003, we expect to realize annual savings of approximately $2.8 million related to all of the facility terminations and reductions described above. We also incurred a $350,000 charge during the first quarter of 2002 for severance pay relating to the reduction in headcount, including the separation of three vice presidents, which have resulted in annualized savings of approximately $3.5 million. The second quarter unusual charge also included a $443,000 non-cash compensation charge arising out of the exercise
10
by Paul Edelhertz of his right to assign to us an aggregate of 250,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for our cancellation of a promissory note issued to us by Mr. Edelhertz bearing a principal balance of $500,000 and accrued interest through the date of cancellation of $43,250. This transaction relates to an agreement dated December 26, 2000, as amended on August 2, 2001. Mr. Edelhertz is a member of our board of directors and was our president and CEO from October 1998 through October 2000 and a vice president from August 1996 through October 1998.
We also incurred restructuring and unusual charges in 2001 and 2000. We undertook a restructuring action in the second quarter of 2001, when we recorded a restructuring charge of $2.19 million. We made other headcount reductions in the third and fourth quarters of 2001, and took further cost-reduction measures in the first and second quarters of 2002, as described above. Our restructuring charge in the second quarter of 2001 represented approximately 6% of our revenue for 2001, and was composed of $777,000 for severance payments, $123,000 for other employee-related costs (including continued medical benefits for the terminated employees), $1.173 million for facility closings and other lease termination costs, $87,000 to resolve a contract dispute with a vendor, and $28,000 of other related restructuring charges. No non-cash write-offs were incurred in connection with the restructuring charge. The facilities portion of the restructuring charge in the second quarter of 2001 includes new and additional lease termination costs and other expenses associated with our decisions to consolidate our operations and close unproductive or duplicative office locations in St. Paul, Minnesota and Pleasanton and Carlsbad, California.
Non-recurring charges of $753,000 were recorded in 2000. This represents approximately 2% of the revenue for 2000. The items consist of severance expenses for senior management departures, costs associated with closing our St. Paul office in order to consolidate into an expanded, common Minneapolis facility, and the termination of a long-term software support contract.

Results of Operations
Revenues
Revenues decreased approximately 70% to $11.1 million in 2002 compared to $36.8 million in 2001. Revenues before reimbursement of expenses decreased approximately 69% to $10.2 million in 2002 compared to $33.3 million in 2001. This decrease was due principally to the continued significant reduction in the demand for information technology consulting services, which is the result of a general slowdown in the economy. Many companies have either delayed decisions on information technology consulting projects, or cancelled the projects altogether, resulting in an industry-wide decrease in services revenue. We are also experiencing strong downward pricing pressures, which is adversely impacting our revenue.
Project and Personnel Costs
Project costs consist primarily of payroll and payroll related expenses for personnel dedicated to client assignments and is directly associated, and varies with, the level of client services being delivered. These costs represent the most significant expense we incur in providing our services. Project costs were $9.4 million, or 84% of net revenues, in 2002, compared to $20.0 million, or 54% of net revenues, in 2001. The decrease in project costs between these periods was due primarily to the decrease in our headcount from 122 billable consultants as of December 31, 2001, to 44 billable consultants as of December 31, 2002. However, these costs represented an increased percentage of our overall revenue in 2002, because our revenue decreased at a greater rate than we reduced project and personnel costs. Additionally, we are experiencing strong downward pricing pressures, which is not only adversely impacting our revenue as described above, but also our gross margins.
Reimbursable Expenses
Reimbursable expenses consist of out-of-pocket expenses incurred while providing services that are reimbursed by our clients. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Announcement (Topic No. D-103), which was effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2001, reimbursable expenses are separate line items in both revenue and cost of revenue. Prior to implementation of this Announcement, we had accounted for reimbursable expenses by offsetting the amounts we were paid against project and personnel costs. Reimbursable expenses decreased approximately 74% to $915,000 in 2002 compared to $3.5 million in 2001. The decrease is due to the overall decline in revenue and services performed during the same time period.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing costs consist primarily of salaries, employee benefits, travel expenses of selling and marketing personnel and promotional costs. Sales and marketing expenses were $1.8 million, or 16% of net revenues in 2002, compared to $5.8 million, or 16% of net revenues, in 2001. The decrease in dollar terms between these periods was due to a reduction in the number of sales and marketing personnel, as well as lower commission expenses resulting from the decrease in revenue.
General and Administrative
General and administrative costs consist primarily of expenses associated with our management, information technology, training and recruiting, facility costs, and finance, legal, human resources and administrative groups. General and administrative expenses were $7.3 million, or 66% of net revenues, in 2002, compared to $14.5 million, or 39% of net revenues, in 2001. The increase as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to revenue being much lower than anticipated in 2002, along with not being able to reduce our fixed costs accordingly. The decrease in the dollar amount was due to our many cost savings initiatives. Salaries and related payroll taxes and benefits decreased by $2.56 million in 2002 as compared
12
to 2001 due to a decrease in the number of general and administrative personnel from 28 at December 31, 2001, to 15 at December 31, 2002. Outside services costs decreased by $740,000 in 2002 as compared to 2001, mainly due to recruiting fees paid for new hires in 2001. Phone and network charges decreased by $640,000 in 2002 as compared to 2001, mainly due to rate negotiations and office closures. Office rent decreased $630,000 in 2002 as compared to 2001 due to lease buyouts in 2002. Bad-debt expense decreased by $400,000 in 2002 as compared to 2001, mainly due to having no large bad-debt write-offs in 2002. Travel and entertainment costs decreased by $380,000 in 2002 as compared to 2001, mainly because we had fewer employees and undertook cost-savings initiatives. Equipment rent decreased by $310,000 in 2002 as compared to 2001 due to buyouts of some of our equipment leases during 2002.
Amortization of Intangibles
Amortization of intangibles was $0 in 2002 compared to $231,000 in 2001. The amortization is due to the acquisition of The QuickSilver Group (QuickSilver) in September 1998. The Quicksilver acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and the purchase price was allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets was $7.7 million and was allocated to the following categories: people and experiences, client references, client lists, and intellectual property and delivery methodology. These amounts were amortized over economic useful lives of between two and four years. All of the costs related to the QuickSilver acquisition were fully amortized as of December 31, 2001.
Gain on Sale of NextNet Shares
We realized a gain on the sale of a portion of our investment in NextNet of $5.22 million in 2002. We did not sell any of our NextNet shares in 2001. Our 2002 gain represents the proceeds from sales of approximately 1.1 million shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in NextNet to various parties, which are more fully described in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Interest Income
Interest income was $12,000 in 2002 compared to $139,000 in 2001. The decrease is interest income is primarily due to our having significantly smaller balances of cash and investments during 2002 in comparison to 2001.
Interest Expense
Interest expense in 2002 was $280,000 compared to $188,000 in 2001. The increase in interest expense is due to our increased borrowing needs in 2002, increased interest rates under our accounts receivable funding agreement, which was signed in July 2002, and the predecessor line of credit facility, and higher amortization of issuance costs related to the accounts receivable funding agreement and the credit facility.
Income Taxes
We have incurred net operating losses since inception. We are uncertain about whether we will have taxable earnings in the future, and we have not reflected any benefit of such net operating loss carryforwards in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
As of December 31, 2002, we had approximately $87 million of net operating loss carryforwards for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes that will begin to expire in 2005. The use of these carryforwards in any one year is limited under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 because of significant ownership changes. In addition, the net operating loss carryforward of QuickSilver is limited under the federal consolidated tax return rules.
13
Net Revenues
Revenues decreased approximately 20% to $36.8 million in 2001 compared to $46.2 million in 2000. Revenues before reimbursement of expenses decreased approximately 20% to $33.3 million in 2001 compared to $41.7 million in 2000. This decrease was due principally to the continued significant reduction in the demand for information technology consulting services, which is the result of the general slowdown in the economy. Many companies have either delayed decisions on information technology consulting projects, or cancelled the projects altogether, resulting in an industry-wide decrease in services revenue. We are also experienced strong downward pricing pressures, which adversely impacted our revenue.
Project and Personnel Costs
Project costs consist primarily of payroll and payroll related expenses for personnel dedicated to client assignments and is directly associated with, and varies with, the level of client services being delivered. These costs represent the most significant expense we incur in providing service. Project costs were $20.0 million, or approximately 54% of revenues, in 2001, compared to $20.5 million, or approximately 45% of revenues, in 2000. The increase in the percentage of costs compared to revenues was primarily from decreased revenues due to a significant reduction in demand for information technology consulting services in 2001. Further, our revenue decreased at a greater rate than we reduced project and personnel costs, resulting in project costs being an increased percentage of our overall revenues.
Reimbursable Expenses
Reimbursable expenses consist of out-of-pocket expenses incurred while providing services that are reimbursed by our clients. Reimbursable expenses decreased approximately 21% to $3.5 in 2001 compared to $4.4 million in 2000. The decrease is due to the overall decline in revenue and services performed during the same time period.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing costs consist primarily of salaries, employee benefits, travel expenses of selling and marketing personnel and promotional costs. Sales and marketing expenses were $5.8 million, or approximately 16% of net revenues in 2001, compared to $5.8 million, or approximately 13% of net revenues, in 2000. Commission costs decreased by $270,000 in 2001 as compared to 2000 due to lower revenue, but this was offset by an increase in salaries paid due to hiring additional sales personnel. The increase as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to lower revenue than anticipated.
General and Administrative
General and administrative costs consist primarily of expenses associated with our management, information technology, training and recruiting, facility costs, and finance, legal, human resources and administrative groups. General and administrative expenses were $14.5 million, or approximately 39% of revenues, in 2001, compared to $14.6 million, or 32% of net revenues, in 2000. The increase as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to revenue being much lower than anticipated in 2001. Although our total costs remained relatively consistent, there were many fluctuations in 2001 when compared to 2000. Office rent increased $500,000 in 2001 as compared to 2000 due to new and expanded facility leases in the second half of 2000, primarily in Campbell, California and Minneapolis, Minnesota. Equipment rent increased by $800,000 in 2001 as compared to 2000 due to leasing of furniture, computers and computer equipment, and upgraded phone systems. Much of this equipment was leased in the third and fourth quarters of 2000 and first quarter of 2001 as we were still hiring employees in anticipation of revenue growth. This expense was offset partially by a decrease in depreciation of $180,000 in 2001 as compared to 2000. Depreciation decreased since we are now leasing more equipment instead of purchasing the equipment. Outside services costs increased by $600,000 in 2001 as compared to 2000, mainly due to
14
recruiting fees paid for new hires. Travel and entertainment costs decreased by $700,000 in 2001 as compared to 2000, mainly due to cost-savings initiatives. Bad-debt expense decreased by $540,000 in 2001, as compared to 2000, mainly due to three dot-com customer write-offs in 2000.
Amortization of Intangibles
Amortization of intangibles was $231,000 in 2001 compared to $2.9 million in 2000. The amortization is due to the acquisition of The QuickSilver Group (QuickSilver) in September 1998. The Quicksilver acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and the purchase price was allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets was $7.7 million and was allocated to the following categories: people and experiences, client references, client lists, and intellectual property and delivery methodology. These amounts were amortized over economic useful lives of between two and four years. All of the costs related to the QuickSilver acquisition were fully amortized as of December 31, 2001.
Interest Income
Interest income was $139,000 in 2001 compared to $251,000 in 2000. The decrease in interest income is primarily due to our having significantly smaller balances of cash and investments during 2001 in comparison to 2000.
Interest Expense
Interest expense in 2001 was $188,000 compared to $69,000 in 2000. The increase in interest expense is due to establishing, and using a line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank in 2001.
Income Taxes
We have incurred net operating losses since inception. We are uncertain about whether we will have taxable earnings in the future, and we have not reflected any benefit of such net operating loss carryforwards in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The impact and any associated risks to these policies on our business, financial conditions and results of operations are discussed throughout Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where these policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion of the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 1 of our notes to the consolidated financial statements. Our preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.
Our critical accounting policies are as follows:
Revenue Recognition;
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts; and
Investment in NextNet Wireless, Inc.
Revenue Recognition. We derive our revenues from systems integration services and post-implementation support agreements. Revenues pursuant to fixed bid contracts are recognized as the services are rendered based on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting (based on the ratio of hours incurred to total estimated hours) in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-type and Certain Production-type Contracts. Estimated losses on long-term contracts are recognized in the period in which a loss becomes apparent. Revenue
15
pursuant to time and material contracts are recognized as the services are performed. Customer support revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the underlying support agreements. We have binding contractual agreements with our customers to support our revenue.
Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized on fixed bid contracts in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if we made different judgments or utilized different estimates. If we do not accurately estimate the resources required or the scope of the work to be performed, or do not manage the projects properly within the planned periods of time or satisfy our obligations under the contracts, then our future consulting margins may be materially affected or losses on existing contracts may need to be recognized. Any such resulting reductions in margins or contract losses could be material to our financial condition and results of operations.
Deferred revenue is composed of amounts received or billed in advance of services to be performed. Unbilled receivables represent amounts recognized on services performed in advance of billings in accordance with the terms of the contract.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The preparation of financial statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets. Specifically, we must make estimates of the collectability of our accounts receivable. We determine the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts by analyzing historical write-off rates, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms. If we have information that the customer may have an inability to meet its financial obligations (bankruptcy, etc.), we use our judgment, based on the best available facts and circumstances, and record a specific reserve for that customer against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount that is expected to be collected. These specific reserves are reevaluated and adjusted as additional information is received. In addition, a general reserve is established for all customers based on a range of percentages applied to the remaining balance. This percentage is based on our historical collection and write-off experience. If circumstances change, our estimates of the recoverability of amounts due to us could be reduced materially. Our accounts receivable balance was $662,000, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $144,000, as of December 31, 2002.
Holdings in NextNet Wireless, Inc. On September 21, 1998, we transferred our NextNet wireless data technology to an entity now known as NextNet Wireless, Inc., and certain of our employees became NextNet employees. In exchange for this technology, we received an equity stake in NextNet Wireless. We originally recorded our NextNet holdings at $0 because it was uncertain whether we would ever realize any value from our holdings.
We have accounted for our NextNet holdings using the equity method of accounting because we have significant influence (usually defined as owning 20% or more of the outstanding voting stock, and may also include other factors, such as the level of representation the equity holder has on the Board of Directors of the issuing company) over NextNets operations. The equity method requires us to recognize our proportionate share of income and losses from NextNets operations, and to make equivalent adjustments to the valuation of our holdings, provided that losses are not to be recognized after the valuation of our holdings are written down to $0. Because the original basis of the investment was $0, and because NextNet has incurred losses since its inception, we have not recognized any of the losses by NextNet. Our NextNet holdings continue to be valued at $0 as of December 31, 2002.
If we did not have significant influence over NextNets operations, and NextNet did not have a readily determinable fair value, then we would account for our NextNet holdings using the cost method of accounting (investment carried at the original cost basis), which would result in the same valuation of $0 as we currently have, because we had expensed all amounts related to NextNet before NextNet Wireless was formed. However, if we did not have significant influence over NextNets operations, but NextNet did have a readily determinable fair value, then we would account for our NextNet holdings at the then fair value. Because our holdings now represent less than 20% of the outstanding voting stock, we will no longer have significant influence over NextNets operations. NextNet is not a publicly traded company, so it does not have a readily determinable fair value. Therefore we will continue to value our NextNet

holdings at our original cost basis of $0. Readily determinable fair value is defined under FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, (SFAS 115), as existing when sales prices or bid-and-asked quotations are currently available on a securities exchange registered with the SEC or in the over-the-counter market.
As described in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we received approximately $5.22 million from various parties for selling a portion of our NextNet holdings in 2002.
We do not have any obligation to provide future funding to NextNet. We owned approximately 1.3 million shares and 2.4 million shares of NextNet Series A Preferred Stock as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Our ownership of NextNet also decreased by approximately 177,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the first quarter of 2003 from sales to two private investors totaling $750,000. Of our remaining shares, we have placed an aggregate of 583,333 in an escrow account as collateral for our loan from Entrx Corporation. In addition, we issued a warrant to an investor affiliated with a prior purchaser of NextNet shares from us, to purchase 125,000 additional shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in NextNet from us at $6.00 per share, any time prior to the close of business on May 17, 2004.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We invest predominantly in instruments that are highly liquid, investment grade and have maturities of less than one year. At December 31, 2002, we had approximately $549,000 in cash and cash equivalents compared to $1.33 million at December 31, 2001. As of December 31, 2002, we had a negative working capital of $2.64 million, and a stockholders deficit of $2.33 million.
Cash used in operating activities was $8.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, and resulted primarily from an overall net loss, not including our gains on sales of NextNet shares, of approximately $11.8 million, offset by an increase in accrued expenses of $925,000, a decrease in accounts receivable of $900,000, and a decrease in notes receivable of $535,000. Cash used in operating activities was $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, and resulted primarily from a net loss of $9.5 million and a decrease in deferred revenue of $1.4 million, offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $4.0 million, and a decrease in notes receivable of $1.3 million.
Cash provided by investing activities was $5.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, and resulted primarily from proceeds from sales of a portion of our NextNet shares. Cash used in investing activities was $703,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001, and resulted primarily from the purchase of property and equipment.
Cash provided by financing activities was $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, and consisted primarily of proceeds from sale of common stock of $1.7 million and proceeds from a short-term loan of $1.0 million, but was partially offset by a decrease in the line of credit balance of $802,000. Cash provided by financing activities was $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, and consisted primarily of proceeds from sale of common stock of $2.3 million and proceeds from the line of credit of $1.1 million, but was partially offset by $490,000 of payments of outstanding debt.

We have a loan agreement, as amended, with Entrx Corporation (Entrx), under which Entrx agreed to lend us up to $1.75 million. We received the first advance of $1 million on November 4, 2002 and we received $750,000 from Entrx in the first quarter of 2003. Entrx must elect, at any time on or before March 31, 2003, to convert all or part of the outstanding advances into shares of Series A Preferred Stock we hold in NextNet at $6.00 per share. This conversion price is subject to downward adjustment through June 30, 2003, if NextNet or Zamba sell NextNet shares at a lower per share price, assuming that all shares are converted to NextNet common stock. Further, if we default under the loan agreement, the per share conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock we hold in NextNet will be reduced to $3.00 per share, unless there is at the same time a default under the loan agreement by Entrx. In connection with the loan agreement, we also entered into a Pledge and Escrow Security Agreement with Entrx pursuant to which we placed in escrow a stock certificate for an aggregate of 583,333 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in NextNet as security for the loan through June 30, 2003.
On February 17, 2003, we entered into stock purchase agreements to sell 125,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in NextNet to two private investors at $6.00 per share, for a total of $750,000. We received the full amount on February 17, 2003. This investor group may also receive more of our NextNet shares if, at any time prior to March 31, 2003, NextNet sells any preferred shares for an aggregate purchase price equal to or in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) at a per share purchase price that is less than $6.00 per share. In such event, we will provide these investors with an amount of additional NextNet shares that causes the per share purchase price paid to be equivalent to the lower per share price of the subsequent sale. In accordance with this provision, we provided these two investors with an additional 52,305 shares in March 2003. Also in connection with this sale, we issued a warrant to a third party affiliated with a prior purchaser of NextNet shares to purchase 125,000 additional shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in NextNet from us at $6.00 per share, any time prior to the close of business on May 17, 2004.
We partly fund our operations through an Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. We entered into this agreement on July 29, 2002. This agreement entitles us to borrow up to a maximum of $2.0 million based on eligible receivables, and is secured by virtually all of our assets. The balance outstanding under this line of credit was $298,000 at December 31, 2002. Based on eligible receivables, an additional $325,000 was available for borrowing at December 31, 2002. Prior to July 29, 2002, we maintained a line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank. Although there are no financial covenants in the new agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, the bank may still declare default in certain circumstances, including our default under any leases or contracts.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2002, in addition to cash we have received subsequent to December 31, 2002 under our loan agreement with Entrx Corporation and from the sale of shares of Series A Preferred Stock in NextNet, as well as cash we obtain on a regular basis under our Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements through at least December 31, 2003. We will continue to explore possibilities for additional financing, which may include debt, equity, or other forms of financing transactions, and other strategic alternatives that may be available to us, including a potential sale of all or a portion of our stock, assets, or remaining investment in NextNet.

New Accounting Standards
In November 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Staff Announcement, Topic No. D-103, regarding the income statement classification of reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses incurred. This announcement requires that out-of-pocket expenses incurred and the related reimbursements be reflected in the income statement on a gross basis as both revenue and expense. Previously, we classified these out-of-pocket expense reimbursements as a reduction of project and personnel costs. This Staff Announcement was effective for financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2001, and accordingly, we implemented it on January 1, 2002. We adjusted revenue for all periods reported to include out-of-pocket expense reimbursements. This change in classification had no effect on current or previously reported net income (loss) or earnings (loss) per share.
In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 146 Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 supersedes EITF No. 94-3. The principal difference between SFAS No. 146 and EITF No. 94-3 relates to when an entity can recognize a liability related to exit or disposal activities. SFAS No. 146 requires a liability be recognized for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity when the liability is incurred. EITF No. 94-3 allowed a liability related to an exit or disposal activity, to be recognized at the date an entity commits to an exit plan. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective on January 1, 2003. Accordingly, we will apply this standard to all exit or disposal activities initiated after January 1, 2003.
Controls and Procedures
In order to ensure that the information we must disclose in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis, we have formalized our disclosure controls and procedures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have reviewed and evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report (the Evaluation Date). Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in bringing to their attention on a timely basis material information relating to Zamba required to be included in our periodic filings under the Exchange Act.
Since the Evaluation Date, there have not been any significant changes in our internal controls, or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the Evaluation Date.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are exposed to market risk from changes in security prices and interest rates. Market fluctuations could impact our results of operations and financial condition. We are exposed to certain market risks based on our outstanding debt obligations of $430,000, our accounts receivable purchase agreement of $298,000, and our note payable to Entrx of $1.0 million at December 31, 2002. As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the annualized interest rates charged on our debt obligations range from 8.0% to 10.0%, and the obligations mature monthly and quarterly through December 2003. As discussed in Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements, the interest rate charged on borrowings against our accounts receivable purchase agreement is 1% per month, plus an administrative fee of 0.25%. As discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the interest rate charged on the note payable to Entrx is 8%, and is payable monthly. On February 19, 2003, this loan agreement was amended. A second advance of $750,000 was paid in the first quarter of 2003 and the obligation of Entrx to pay a third installment was waived. Entrx also waived its rights to convert all outstanding advances into shares of our common stock, and terminated its option to purchase additional shares of our NextNet stock. Entrx also agreed to waive interest charges after December 2003. We do not invest in any derivative financial instruments. Excess cash is invested in short-term, low-risk vehicles, such as money market investments. Changes in market interest rates should not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
ZAMBA Corporation:
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of ZAMBA Corporation and subsidiaries as listed in the accompanying index. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our 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 ZAMBA Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

ZAMBA CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Business Description:
ZAMBA Corporation is a customer care services company. We help our clients be more successful in acquiring, servicing, and retaining their customers. We provide strategy and business process consulting, as well as customization and systems integration for software applications, which we call packages, that our clients purchase from third parties. We derive substantially all of our revenues from professional services. Prior to October 1998, we were known as Racotek, Inc.
Basis of Reporting:
Our fiscal year-end is December 31. All inter-company accounts and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents:
We consider all highly liquid investments in money market funds or other investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition:
We derive our revenues from systems integration services and post-implementation support agreements. Revenues pursuant to fixed bid contracts are recognized as the services are rendered based on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting (based on the ratio of hours incurred to total estimated hours) in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-type and Certain Production-type Contracts. These contracts are considered substantially complete upon customer acceptance. Estimated losses on long-term contracts are recognized in the period in which a loss becomes apparent. Revenue pursuant to time and materials contracts are recognized as the services are performed. Customer support revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the underlying support agreements. Revenue also includes reimbursable expenses, as per Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Staff Announcement, Topic No. D-103.
Deferred revenue is comprised of amounts received or billed in advance of services to be performed. Unbilled revenue represents amounts recognized on services performed in advance of billings in accordance with the terms of the contract.
Property and Equipment:
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Significant additions or improvements extending asset lives are capitalized; normal maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from two to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the underlying lease term. The cost and accumulated depreciation relating to leasehold improvements in facilities that are terminated earlier than the original lease terms, are written off at the time of lease termination. The cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization of assets sold or disposed of, are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in operations.
Income Taxes:
We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities
35
using enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the sum of the tax currently payable and the change in the deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.
Stock-Based Compensation:
We have chosen to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations (APB No. 25). We account for stock-based compensation to non-employees using the fair value method prescribed by Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123. Accordingly, compensation costs for stock options granted to employees are measured as the excess, if any, of the value of our stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Compensation cost for stock options granted to non-employees is measured as the fair value of the option at the date of grant. Such compensation costs, if any, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the underlying option vesting terms.
Net Loss Per Share:
Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. A total of 0, 5,045 and 2,730,584 assumed conversion shares for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, were excluded from the net loss per share computation as their effect is anti-dilutive. Common stock options could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in future periods if we generate net income.
Reclassifications:
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
New Accounting Standards:
In November 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Staff Announcement, Topic No. D-103, regarding the income statement classification of reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses incurred. This Staff Announcement requires that out-of-pocket expenses incurred and the related reimbursements be reflected in the income statement on a gross basis as both revenue and expense. Previously, we classified these out-of-pocket expense reimbursements as a reduction of project and personnel costs. This Staff Announcement was effective for financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2001, and accordingly, we implemented this Staff Announcement on January 1, 2002. We adjusted revenue for all periods reported to include out-of-pocket expense reimbursements. This change in classification had no effect on current or previously reported net loss or loss per share.
In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 146 Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 supersedes EITF No. 94-3. The principal difference between SFAS No. 146 and EITF No. 94-3 relates to when an entity can recognize a liability related to exit or disposal activities. SFAS No. 146 requires a liability be recognized for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity when the liability is incurred. EITF No. 94-3 allowed a liability related to an exit or disposal activity, to be recognized at the date an entity commits to an exit plan. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective on January 1, 2003. Accordingly, we will apply this standard to any exit or disposal activities initiated after January 1, 2003.
2. LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN MATTERS:
We incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations during the year ended December 31, 2002, and continued to incur losses in the first two months of fiscal 2003. We also had a negative working capital of $2.64 million and a stockholders deficit of $2.33 million at December 31, 2002. To fund operations, we raised $9.40 million in funding in 2002 and the first quarter of 2003, as described below. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends upon our ability to continue to access our line of credit facility, achieve sustained profitability and raise cash from further sales of our investment in NextNet Wireless, Inc. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
36
assumes continuity of operations and realization of assets and liabilities in the ordinary course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result if we were forced to discontinue our operations.
To fund our operations, we received approximately $7.90 million in financing in 2002. This amount includes approximately $5.22 million in exchange for selling some of our NextNet Wireless, Inc. (NextNet) stock, a loan in the amount of $1 million (as described in the next paragraph), and an additional $1.68 million in exchange for selling some of our own common stock.
We received $750,000 in additional funding in the first quarter of 2003 from Entrx Corporation (Entrx), to fund our working capital needs. This funding was through a loan agreement under which Entrx agreed to lend us up to $2.5 million in three separate advances. We received the first advance of $1 million on November 4, 2002. The second advance was to be made on December 15, 2002 and third advance was to be made on February 15, 2003, upon the achievement of certain prescribed business milestones by us. This agreement was amended on February 19, 2003, and the obligation of Entrx to pay the third installment was waived. See Note 9 for additional discussion.
We also received $750,000 on February 17, 2003, when we entered into stock purchase agreements with two private investors, which resulted in our transferring to them approximately 177,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in NextNet. In connection with this sale, we issued a warrant to an investor affiliated with a prior purchaser of NextNet shares from us to purchase 125,000 additional shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in NextNet from us at $6.00 per share, any time prior to the close of business on May 17, 2004.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2002, cash we have received subsequent to December 31, 2002 from Entrx and from the sale of a portion of our Series A preferred stock in NextNet, and cash that we can obtain under our Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements through at least December 31, 2003. We will continue to explore possibilities for additional financing, which may include debt, equity, or other forms of financing transactions, and other strategic alternatives that may be available to us, including a potential sale of all or a portion of our stock, assets, or remaining investment in NextNet.

4. LEASE COMMITMENTS:
We maintain our corporate headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota under terms of a non-cancelable operating lease, which expires in December 2005. This lease requires us to pay a pro rata share of the lessors operating costs. We also lease executive offices in San Jose, California and Toronto, Ontario, both of which are under lease commitments of less than one year. In addition to the office space leases, we also have non-cancelable operating leases for furniture and equipment. The leases require us to provide security deposits.
Total rental expense, including a pro rata share of the lessors operating costs, were $2,607,884, $3,546,144 and $2,247,000, for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

5. NOTE RECEIVABLE:
As of December 31, 2001, we had a note receivable from a customer totaling $560,000. The note carried an interest rate of 12.0% per annum and was paid in 2002.
6. NOTES RECEIVABLE - RELATED PARTIES:
As of December 31, 2001, we had notes receivable - related parties totaling $310,000, representing amounts due from two employees. These notes were due in 2002, with interest at 9.0%, and were paid in 2002.
7. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES AND NON-RECURRING ITEMS:
We incurred unusual charges in the first and second quarters of 2002 that, in the aggregate, were equivalent to approximately 30% of our 2002 revenue. In the first quarter of 2002, we incurred unusual charges of $1.69 million for facility and employment matters, and in the second quarter of 2002, we incurred unusual charges of $1.64 million for facility and non-cash compensation matters. Included in the first quarter charges was a $1.34 million charge related to the leases for our Campbell, California, and Colorado Springs, Colorado, facilities, and included in the second quarter charges this amount was a $1.19 million charge for facility closings and lease termination costs. The second quarter facility charges included $190,000 for closing our Boston, Massachusetts facility, $290,000 for reducing the amount of space we occupy in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and $713,000 for increasing the accrual for terminating our St. Paul, Minnesota and Campbell, California facilities to amounts consistent with buy-out offers made by our landlords. We subsequently reached termination agreements with our St. Paul and Campbell landlords. Upon completion of the termination payments to our St. Paul and Campbell landlords during the third quarter of 2003, we expect to realize annual savings of approximately $2.8 million. We also incurred a $350,000 charge during the first quarter for severance pay relating to the reduction in headcount, including the separation of three vice presidents, which have resulted in annualized savings of approximately $3.5 million. The second quarter unusual charge also included a $443,000 non-cash compensation charge arising out of the exercise by Paul Edelhertz of his right to assign to us an aggregate of 250,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for our cancellation of a promissory note issued to us by Mr. Edelhertz bearing a principal balance of $500,000 and accrued interest through the date of cancellation of $43,250. This transaction relates to an agreement dated December 26, 2000, as amended on August 2, 2001. Mr. Edelhertz is a member of our board of directors and was our president and CEO from October 1998 through October 2000 and a vice president from August 1996 through October 1998.
We also incurred restructuring and unusual charges in 2001 and 2000. We undertook a restructuring action in the second quarter of 2001, when we recorded a restructuring charge of $2.19 million. We made other headcount reductions in the third and fourth quarters of 2001. Our restructuring charge in the second quarter of 2001 was composed of $777,000 for severance payments, $123,000 for other employee-related costs (including continued medical benefits for the terminated employees), $1.173 million for facility closings and other lease termination costs, $87,000 to resolve a contract dispute with a vendor, and $28,000
39
of other related restructuring charges. No non-cash write-offs were incurred in connection with the restructuring charge. The facilities portion of the restructuring charge in the second quarter of 2001 includes new and additional lease termination costs and other expenses associated with our decisions to consolidate our operations and close unproductive or duplicative office locations in St. Paul, Minnesota and Pleasanton and Carlsbad, California.
Non-recurring charges of $753,000 were recorded in 2000. The items consist of severance expenses for senior management departures, costs associated with closing our St. Paul office in order to consolidate into an expanded, common Minneapolis facility, and the termination of a long-term software support contract.
Restructuring activities through December 31, 2002, were as follows:

8. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE PURCHASE AGREEMENT:
On July 29, 2002, we entered into an Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank to replace a prior revolving credit facility we had established with Silicon Valley Bank. This agreement entitles us to borrow up to a maximum of $2.0 million based on eligible receivables, and is secured by virtually all of our assets. Borrowings under this agreement bear interest at a monthly rate of 1% of the average daily balance outstanding during the period. Additionally, on each reconciliation date, we pay an administrative fee equal to 0.25% of the face amount of each receivable purchased by Silicon Valley Bank during that reconciliation period. Although there are no financial covenants in the new agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, they may still declare default in certain circumstances, including our default under any leases or contracts. Our alleged default under a lease for furniture as set forth more fully in Note 17 is technically an Event of Default under the Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement. Upon default, Silicon Valley Bank may elect from remedies including declaring all amounts paid to us under the agreement due and payable in full, or ceasing to buy receivables from us. Silicon Valley Bank has not elected to enforce this provision. If Silicon Valley Bank decides to enforce this provision, or otherwise does not purchase receivables from us, our ability to fund our operations could be materially harmed. This facility expires on July 29, 2003. The amount outstanding under this agreement was $298,000 at December 31, 2002.
The Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement replaced a secured revolving credit facility that we established with Silicon Valley Bank on February 27, 2001, and amended on August 2, 2001 and December 31, 2001. The secured revolving credit facility entitled us to borrow up to a maximum of $5.0 million based
40
on eligible collateral. Borrowings under this line of credit bore interest at the banks prime rate plus 2.0%, and were payable monthly. The amended agreement required, among other things, that we comply with minimum tangible net worth and profitability covenants. This facility was to expire on December 31, 2002, but was replaced by the Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement. Amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility were converted to being outstanding under the Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement. We were in compliance with the covenants as of December 31, 2001. As of December 31, 2001, $1.1 million was outstanding under the line of credit.
9. NOTE PAYABLE:
On November 5, 2002, we entered into a loan agreement with Entrx Corporation (Entrx), under which Entrx agreed to lend us up to $2.5 million in three separate advances. We received the first advance of $1 million in November 2002. On February 19, 2003, this loan agreement was amended. In connection with the amendment, we received the second advance of $750,000 but waived the third advance. Entrx also waived its rights to convert all outstanding advances into shares of our common stock, and terminated an option under the original agreement to purchase additional shares of our NextNet stock. Entrx also agreed to waive interest charges after December 2003.
The loan is in the form of a collateralized convertible note. The loan is collateralized with shares of NextNet Wireless, Inc. stock owned by us. The loan is not repayable in cash, but at Entrxs option, may be repaid by conversion at any time into shares of our NextNet Wireless stock at a conversion price that is the lesser of $6.00 per share or such lower initial per share price (on a common share equivalent basis, without giving effect to differences in rights or to anti-dilution provisions or any other purchase price adjustments set forth in the NextNet financing agreement) that NextNet agrees to receive for any sale of other preferred stock in an amount that is at least one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) before June 30, 2003. Interest on this note is computed at 8% and is payable monthly. Principal and accrued interest under this note will be converted to NextNet stock on or before March 31, 2003.
Entrx also has the right to appoint one representative to become a member of our Board of Directors.
10. LONG-TERM DEBT:
As part of a 1998 acquisition of QuickSilver, Inc., we issued $2.16 million in promissory notes payable. Interest on the notes is computed at 7% to 10% of the outstanding balance and is due quarterly on the final day of each quarter, commencing December 31, 1999, and ending September 30, 2004. Principal payments are due quarterly, in 16 installments. Holders may request to convert their notes to our common stock. Conversion is computed at fair market value, and is at the sole and absolute discretion of our Board of Directors. No notes were converted to common stock during 2002, 2001 or 2000. During 1999, $104,000 of the principal value of the notes and $4,000 of accrued interest payable related to such notes were converted into 46,119 shares of our common stock.
We also had debt related to loan obligations from other acquisitions. Loan payments were made monthly and consisted of principal and interest, which was computed at rates ranging between 8.5% and 10.0%. The remainder of these obligations was paid in 2002.
Aggregate annual maturities of the long-term debt, subsequent to December 31, 2002, are as follows:

Approximately $423,000 of the remaining amount of this long-term debt is payable to one individual. On January 27, 2003, we entered into an agreement with this individual to terminate the debt owed to him in exchange for a termination payment of $165,000 and a transfer of 16,667 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in NextNet. As a result, we will report an extraordinary gain on debt extinquishment of approximately $187,000 in the first quarter of 2003. We will also report a gain on sale of NextNet shares of $71,000 upon transfer of the shares to this individual.
11. NEXTNET:
On September 21, 1998, we transferred our NextNet wireless data technology to an entity now known as NextNet Wireless, Inc. (NextNet), and certain of our employees became NextNet employees. In exchange for this technology, we received an equity stake in NextNet Wireless. Our equity holdings are carried at $0 because of uncertainty surrounding our ability to realize value from them. We do not have any obligation to provide further funding for NextNet.
NextNet is a private corporation that develops non-line-of-sight broadband wireless access platforms that provide telecommunications carriers with solutions for rapid deployment of high-speed, two-way voice and data services over the last mile of the communications network. Our chairman, Joseph B. Costello, is also the chairman of NextNet. Another of our directors, Dixon Doll, is also a director and a shareholder of NextNet. Additionally, another director of Zamba, Sven Wehrwein, is a consultant for NextNet. Except as described herein, there have been no other relationships or business transactions between the two companies since January 1, 2000.
In the second, third and fourth quarters of 2002, we entered into several transactions with private investors in which we sold portions of our equity holdings in NextNet for an aggregate total of $5.22 million. We have recognized a gain on sale our NextNet holdings in the amount of $5.20 million in 2002. As of December 31, 2002, we have recorded $25,200 as a deferred gain on sale of investment. We will report the gain on sale of investment during the first quarter of 2003, when the shares are transferred to the private investors. Also, we have not yet received $46,000 from an agreed-to purchase of 7,667 of our shares of Series A Preferred Stock in NextNet.
We initially sold a small portion of our shares of Series A Preferred Stock in NextNet for $3.00 per share, but most of our sales were at a price of $6.00 per share. We determined the sales price for our NextNet shares from various sources, including: a) discussions with potential investors, wireless telecommunications industry experts, investment bankers, and venture capitalists, b) looking at a proposed sale of NextNet stock, with similar rights as ours, that NextNet itself had considered immediately prior to our first sale to an outside investor, c) analyzing and comparing publicly held securities in related industries, d) considering our immediate cash needs, and e) the stage of development that NextNet was at as a company, at the time of the transactions. Another major factor in establishing the sales price was our determination of what an arms-length purchaser would pay for our NextNet shares. We had approached potential buyers of our NextNet shares since June 2001, but we were unable to find any interest, for many reasons including the facts that NextNet had not yet obtained any significant orders and investors were not interested in the telecommunications sector in general. On April 8, 2002, NextNet announced its first significant client, MVS Comunicaciones. Based on this announcement, some potential buyers became more interested in purchasing NextNet stock from us.
Based on our analysis, we determined that we would offer our NextNet shares at $6.00 per share. However, as we discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which we filed on April 1, 2002, we had only enough cash to meet our financial requirements through April 30, 2002. We therefore had an immediate desire to obtain approximately $600,000 by mid-to-late April for payroll and other immediate cash needs. The larger potential investors included Imagine Capital Partners, The Rahn Group, Blake Capital and Wyncrest Capital, which eventually participated in both the first and second series of transactions. This group told us that they would not pay more than $3.00 per share if we wanted to raise money in such a short time frame. Other than several smaller participants in our first round, none of the other potential purchasers we had contacted indicated any interest in buying any of our NextNet shares at any price. Therefore, for our initial series of sales of NextNet stock, we agreed to sell 200,000 shares at
42
$3.00 per share. Because Mr. Costellos agreements to buy some of our NextNet shares, which were signed in February and March 2002, before any third party was willing to buy any of our NextNet stock, at any price, called for his shares to be valued at the per share price established upon our sale of any shares of our NextNet stock to any third party, the shares he purchased were then also valued at $3.00 per share. In the next two series of investments, we were able to offer more desirable and flexible payment terms, and therefore, we were able to sell 281,664 shares at $6.00 per share from late April to early June.
The first series of transactions occurred between April 10 and April 16, 2002, when we entered into stock purchase agreements with six private investors, in which the investors purchased an aggregate of 200,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in NextNet. The investors paid us an aggregate amount of $600,000 for the shares, which were sold at a per share price of $3.00. As a result of this first series of transactions, the NextNet shares that we had agreed to sell to our chairman, Joseph B. Costello, pursuant to two earlier stock purchase agreements, one dated February 26, 2002, and amended on March 25, 2002, and the second dated March 25, 2002, were valued at $3.00 per share. As of March 31, 2002, Mr. Costello had paid us $700,000 pursuant to these two purchase agreements, which means that as a result of the $3.00 per share valuation, Mr. Costello received 233,333 of our NextNet shares.
The second series of transactions occurred between April 10 and April 30, 2002. During this second series, we entered into stock purchase agreements with seven private investors, in which we sold an aggregate of 229,997 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in NextNet for an aggregate consideration of $1,380,000. Of this amount, $880,000 was received in April and $500,000 was received in May. All of the shares were sold at a per share price of $6.00. In connection with the second series of sales of NextNet shares in April 2002, we entered into stock purchase agreements with two private investors, pursuant to which we agreed to sell an aggregate of 133,332 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in NextNet for an aggregate consideration of $800,000. Of this amount, $600,000 was received in September 2002 and $154,000 was received in October 2002, and remaining $46,000 is to be received at a later date. The price for these shares is also $6.00 per share. We recorded a deferred gain on sale of investment when we received the cash from these transactions, and a gain on sale of investment will be recorded when the shares are transferred to the private investors.
The third series of transactions occurred between May 29, 2002 and June 13, 2002. During this third series, we entered into stock purchase agreements with two private investors and three private investment funds managed by Dr. Doll, a director of our company and NextNet, in which we sold an aggregate of 51,667 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in NextNet for an aggregate consideration of $310,000. Of this consideration, the entities managed by Dr. Doll purchased an aggregate of 25,000 of our NextNet shares for an aggregate consideration of $150,000. We received the cash for these shares in June. All of the shares were sold at a per share price of $6.00.
In the third quarter of 2002, we entered into stock purchase agreements with four private investors, in which we sold an aggregate of 30,002 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in NextNet for an aggregate consideration of $180,012. We received the cash for these shares in August and September. All of the shares were sold at a per share price of $6.00. We recorded a deferred gain on sale of investment when we received the cash from these transactions, and a gain on sale of investment will be recorded when the shares are transferred to the private investors.
In addition to the above transactions, in order to make payroll and other critical vendor payments, Joseph B. Costello, our chairman, advanced $450,000 to us in June 2002, and $850,000 in July 2002. In consideration of these advances, our Board of Directors has agreed to transfer a total of 216,668 of our shares of NextNet Series A Preferred Stock valued at $6.00 per share.
In the fourth quarter of 2002, we entered into stock purchase agreements with two private investors, in which we sold an aggregate of 4,200 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in NextNet for an aggregate consideration of $25,200. All of the shares were sold at a per share price of $6.00. We recorded a deferred gain on sale of investment when we received the cash from these transactions, and a gain on sale of investment will be recorded when the shares are transferred to the private investors.

All of the NextNet shares that we sell, including those sold to Mr. Costello, are subject to the right of first refusal on the parts of NextNet and the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock of NextNet.

Stock-Based Compensation:
We granted 213,000 stock options to non-shareholder employees of Camworks and Fusion following our acquisition of these companies. The options were granted with an exercise price less than fair market value as an incentive to employees to continue employment with us. Non-cash compensation charges were $25,000, $237,000 and $248,000 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000. The remaining deferred compensation related to these options is $11,000, and will be recognized in 2003 (remainder of the four-year vesting period), based upon the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB No. 25.
Preferred Stock:
Our Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes issuance of up to 5.0 million preferred shares with a par value of $0.01 per share and allows our Board of Directors, without obtaining stockholder approval, to issue such preferred stock. There were no preferred shares issued or outstanding as of December 31, 2002, 2001, or 2000.
Warrants:
We sold some of our common stock on three occasions during the first quarter of 2002. In connection with each of these sales or group of sales, we issued warrants to purchase additional shares of our common stock to the purchasers. The first sale occurred on January 31, 2002, when Joe Costello, our chairman, purchased an aggregate 626,504 shares of our common stock from us in a private transaction at a purchase price of $0.479 per share, for an aggregate consideration of $300,000. In connection with Mr. Costellos purchase, we issued him a warrant to purchase up to 313,252 shares of our common stock. This warrant may be exercised at a per share purchase price of $0.599 at any time through the close of business on January 31, 2007. The shares were issued at 90% of the average closing bid price for our common stock for the twenty trading days prior to the date of issuance, and the exercise price for the warrant was set at 125% of the per share price for the common stock purchased by Mr. Costello. The fair value of the warrant is $105,000, which is included as part of additional paid-in capital.
On February 1, 2002, we sold an aggregate of 793,383 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.479 per share to a group of seven individual investors in private transactions, for a total consideration of $380,000. The purchase price is equal to 90% of the average closing bid prices of our common stock for the twenty business days prior to February 1, 2002. In connection with this transaction, we also issued warrants to the individuals in this group that entitles them to purchase up to an aggregate of 396,691 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $0.599 per share. These warrants may be exercised at any time through the close of business on February 1, 2007. The warrant exercise price represents 125% of the average closing bid prices of our common stock for the twenty business days prior to February 1, 2002. The aggregate fair value of the warrant is $130,000, which is included as part of additional paid-in capital.
On February 22, 2002, in connection with a Strategic Alliance Agreement with HCL Technologies America, Inc. (HCL America) and HCL Technologies Limited, India (HCL), HCL America purchased an aggregate of 2,460,025 shares of our common stock from us in a private transaction, for an aggregate consideration of $1,000,000, and we issued HCL America a warrant to purchase up to 615,006 shares of our common stock. This warrant may be exercised at a per share purchase price of $0.61 at any time through the close of business on February 21, 2007. The shares were issued at the average closing bid price for our common stock for the twenty trading days preceding the date of the agreement, and the exercise
46
price for the warrant was set at 150% of the per share price for the common stock purchased by HCL America. As a result of the purchase of our shares and the issuance of the warrant, HCL America and HCL, as the parent company of HCL America, are now jointly beneficial owners of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock. The fair value of the warrant is $142,000, which is included as part of additional paid-in capital.
The fair value of the above warrants were calculated by utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the following key assumptions:

We also issued warrants to purchase shares of our common stock to Mr. Costello and Silicon Valley Bank in 2001. On June 29, 2001, we sold 2,352,942 shares of our common stock at the average closing bid price of our common stock for the five trading days prior to the date of issuance, to Joseph B. Costello, our current Chairman, for $2.0 million. In connection with this transaction, we also issued a warrant to Mr. Costello that entitles him to purchase up to 1,176,471 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $1.0625 per share. The warrant exercise price represents 125% of the per share price of our common stock on the date of issuance. The fair value of the warrant is $809,000, which is included as part of additional paid-in capital. The fair value of the warrant was calculated by utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the following key assumptions:

On February 27, 2001, as amended on August 2, 2001 and December 31, 2001, we established a secured revolving credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank that allows us to borrow up to a maximum of $5.0 million based on our eligible accounts receivable. The amended agreement requires, among other things, that we comply with minimum tangible net worth and profitability covenants. We issued warrants to Silicon Valley Bank upon the establishment of the loan agreement and upon each of its amendments. In connection with the establishment of the credit facility, we issued a warrant to purchase 35,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.80 per share to Silicon Valley Bank. The fair value of the warrant issued upon establishment of the credit facility was $62,000. As part of the August 2, 2001 amendment, we issued a warrant to Silicon Valley Bank to purchase an additional 35,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.86 per share. The fair value of the warrant issued upon the August 2001 amendment is $23,000. As part of the December 31, 2001 amendment, we issued a warrant to Silicon Valley Bank to purchase an additional 20,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.51 per share. The fair value of the warrant issued upon the December 2001 amendment is $10,000. The exercise price for each warrant was established by averaging the closing price of our common stock for the five trading days prior to the date of issuance, and each warrant expires five years from the date of issuance. The remaining fair value of the warrants is being charged to interest expense over the life of the credit facility, which expires on December 31, 2002. The aggregate fair value for the additional interest cost for the warrants granted in connection with the February 27, 2001 establishment of the credit facility and the August 2, 2001 and December 31, 2001 amendments, were calculated by using the fair value of the warrant on the date of grant, utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the following key assumptions:

Stockholder Rights Plan:
On September 7, 1994, our Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan (the Plan). Under this plan, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a Right) for each share of common stock outstanding as of September 28, 1994 (the Record Date). In addition, one Right will be issued with each share of common stock that becomes outstanding after the Record Date, except in certain circumstances. All Rights will expire on September 12, 2004, unless we extend the expiration date, redeem the Rights or exchange the Rights for common stock. Our Board of Directors amended the Plan on January 29, 2002, and November 26, 2002.
The Rights are initially attached to our common stock and will not trade separately. If a person or a group acquires 20 percent or more of our common stock (an Acquiring Person) or announces an intention to make a tender offer for 20 percent or more of our common stock, then the Rights will be distributed (the Distribution Date) and will thereafter trade separately from the common stock. Upon the Distribution Date, each Right may be exercised for 1/100th of a share of a newly designated Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $25.00 per share. In the January 29 amendment, our Board of Directors revised the definition of Acquiring Person to exclude our Chairman, Joseph B. Costello (Costello) or any person who, following the death of Costello, acquires his shares pursuant to a last will and testament or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution applicable to his estate, unless Costello, or any person acquiring his shares in the manner described above, becomes the beneficial owner of 49.99% or more of our common shares then outstanding. In the November 26 amendment, our Board of Directors revised the definition of Acquiring Person to exclude Entrx Corporation if it acquires any of our shares with respect to or on its conversion of the Convertible Secured Promissory Note, dated November 4, 2002, we issued to it, unless Entrx or any of its Affiliates or Associates becomes the beneficial owner of 39.99% or more of our common shares then outstanding.
Upon a person or group becoming an Acquiring Person, holders of the Rights (other than the Acquiring Person) will have the right to acquire shares of our common stock at a substantially discounted price in lieu of the preferred stock. Additionally, if, after the Distribution Date, we merge into or engage in certain other business combination transactions with an Acquiring Person or 50 percent or more of our assets are sold in a transaction with an Acquiring Person, the holders of Rights (other than the Acquiring Person) will have the right to receive shares of common stock of the acquiring corporation at a substantially discounted price.
After a person or a group has become an Acquiring Person, our Board of Directors may, at its option, require the exchange of outstanding Rights (other than those held by the Acquiring Person) for common stock at an exchange ratio of one share of our common stock per Right. The Board also has the right to
48
redeem outstanding Rights at any time prior to the Distribution Date (or later in certain circumstances) at a price of $0.005 per Right. The terms of the Rights, including the period to redeem the Rights, may be amended by our Board of Directors in certain circumstances.
As of July 1, 2000, our Board of Directors adopted a non-compensatory Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP). Under the ESPP, employees who elect to participate may purchase common stock at a 15% discount from the market value of such stock. The ESPP permits an enrolled employee to make contributions to purchase shares of common stock by having from 1%-10% of their compensation withheld from each payroll, up to a maximum of $6,250 each quarter. The total number of shares that may be issued pursuant to options granted under the ESPP is 750,000. Approximately 156,000 shares were issued under the ESPP at an average price of $0.22 per share in 2002, approximately 303,000 shares were issued under the ESPP at an average price of $0.86 per share in 2001, and approximately 92,000 shares were issued under the ESPP at an average price of $2.76 per share in 2000. Approximately 199,000 shares remain available for issuance under this ESPP at December 31, 2002.
13. INCOME TAXES:
We have incurred net operating losses since our inception in 1990. Because of the uncertainty about whether we will have taxable earnings in the future, we have not reflected any benefit of such net operating loss carryforwards in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
As of December 31, 2002, we have approximately $87 million of net operating loss carryforwards for both financial statement and for federal income tax purposes that begin to expire in 2005. The use of these carryforwards in any one year may be limited under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 due to significant ownership changes. In addition, the net operating loss carryforward of QuickSilver is limited under the federal consolidated tax return rules.
The provision for income taxes differs from the expected tax benefit, computed by applying the federal corporate tax rate of 34%, as follows:

14. EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN:
We offer a Section 401(k) defined contribution benefit plan for which all regular employees are eligible. Participants may contribute up to 20% of their compensation in any plan year subject to an annual limitation. We may make an employer contribution to the 401(k) plan at the discretion of our Board of Directors. We have not made any employer contributions to the 401(k) plan to date.
15. MAJOR CUSTOMERS:

16. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
The carrying amount for cash and cash equivalents and long-term debt approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.
17. LITIGATION:
We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The following is a summary of our current legal proceedings.
On August 5, 2002, our former president and CEO, Doug Holden, notified us that he believes we breached his severance agreement with us following the separation of his employment. Mr. Holden has requested continued payroll and benefits and continued vesting of stock options for six months from June 27, 2002, the date of his separation. Mr. Holdens annualized salary at the time of his separation was $240,000. Mr. Holden has requested approximately $120,000 to settle this matter, plus the value of his benefits and continued vesting of his options. We believe that we have valid defenses to Mr. Holdens claims and/or that Mr. Holden is not entitled to the items he is requesting. The timing and ultimate resolution of Mr. Holdens claims are uncertain at this time.
50
We are also subject to other various legal proceedings and claims that we do not believe are material either separately or in the aggregate.
In addition to these matters, we settled other actual or threatened legal proceedings during 2002. These settlements were discussed in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30 and September 30, 2002. The settlements discussed in the September 30 quarterly report include the items described below.
On March 13, 2003, we reached an agreement with Key Equipment Finance, to terminate our lease for office furniture and settle related litigation. Under the agreement, we will pay a total of $145,000 in various installment payments from the settlement date through December 2003. Key had previously filed a complaint against us in Hennepin County District Court in Minneapolis, Minnesota alleging that we had breached leases for office furniture. This lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice in connection with the settlement.
On October 10, 2002, we reached an agreement with Army Corps Operating Associates (Army Corps), to terminate our lease for a facility in St. Paul, Minnesota, and settle related litigation. Under the termination and release for this facility, we will pay a total of $500,000 in various installment payments from October 2002 through September 2003. As of December 31, 2002, we have paid $135,000 of the settlement amount and the remaining $365,000 is included in accrued expenses on the balance sheet.
On October 10, 2002, we reached an agreement with WTA Campbell Technology Park LLC (WTA), to terminate our lease for a facility in Campbell, California, and settle related litigation. Under the termination and release for this facility, we will pay a total of $729,000 in various installment payments from October 2002 through August 2003. As of December 31, 2002, we have paid $216,000 of the settlement amount and and remaining $513,000 is included in accrued expenses on the balance sheet.
On September 27, 2002, we entered into a settlement agreement with a furniture lessor, Fidelity Equipment Leasing, that had threatened to bring an action against us for an alleged breach of five equipment leases. We agreed to pay a total of $120,000 from September 2002 through April 2003 in exchange for termination of the lease and a release of Fidelitys claims. As of December 31, 2002, we have paid $60,000 of the settlement amount and the remaining $60,000 is included in accrued expenses on the balance sheet.
18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
On January 27, 2003, we entered into an agreement with Todd Fitzwater, in which we paid $165,000 and transferred 16,667 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in NextNet, in exchange for a termination of the remaining debt obligation, as described in Note 10. The amount owed Mr. Fitzwater was approximately $423,000 at December 31, 2002. As a result, we will report an extraordinary gain on debt extinquishment of approximately $187,000 in the first quarter of 2003. We will also report a gain on sale of NextNet shares of $71,000 upon transfer of the shares to Mr. Fitzwater.
On February 17, 2003, we entered into stock purchase agreements with two private investors, which resulted in our transferring to them approximately 177,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in NextNet for a total of $750,000. In connection with this sale, we issued a warrant to an investor affiliated with a prior purchaser of NextNet shares from us to purchase 125,000 additional shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in NextNet from us at $6.00 per share, any time prior to the close of business on May 17, 2004.
On February 19, 2003, the loan agreement with Entrx, as described in Note 9, was amended. The second advance of $750,000 was paid in the first quarter of 2003 and the obligation of Entrx to pay the third installment of $750,000 was waived. Entrx also waived its rights to convert all outstanding advances into shares of our common stock, terminated its option to purchase additional shares of our NextNet stock, and agreed to waive interest charges that might otherwise accrue after December 2003.
