NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(all tabular amounts in thousands except per share amounts)

 

Note 1. Organization

 

Artemis International Solutions Corporation, including its subsidiaries (“Artemis”, the “Company,” or “we”), is one of the world’s leading providers of investment planning and control software and services.  Since 1976 the Company has been helping organizations improve their performance through portfolio, project and resource management.

 

Customers use the Company’s software and services in such key areas as (i) IT management and governance, (ii) developing new products such as pharmaceuticals, (iii) helping governmental agencies promote business efficiency through better alignment and allocation of resources, (iv) maintaining nuclear power stations and (v) managing the Joint Strike Fighter program for the US government.  The Company has an international distribution network in over 44 countries.

 

As of March 31, 2005, approximately 75% (or 54%, assuming conversion of all preferred shares) of the Company’s outstanding common stock was owned by Proha Plc (“Proha”), a Finnish Company.

 

Artemis’ common stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board administered by Nasdaq under the symbol “AMSI”.

 

Note 2.  Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Artemis, which include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 and the related footnote information are unaudited and have been prepared on a basis substantially consistent with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2004 contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Annual Report”).  All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated.  Equity investments in which Artemis owns at least 20% of the voting securities, or exercises significant influence over (either individually or in concert with its parent, Proha), are accounted for using the equity method.  Investments in which the Company owns less than 20% and is not able to exercise significant influence over the investee are accounted for under the cost method of accounting.

 

The Company’s independent public accountants have included a “going concern” explanatory paragraph in their audit report on the December 31, 2004 consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  At March 31, 2005, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded current assets by approximately $3.1 million. The Company has taken a number of actions to improve its financial strength and cash availability including but not limited to restructuring actions taken in 2004. On June 16, 2004, the Company completed a private placement of $9.0 million of convertible preferred stock (see Note 10) significantly strengthening the Company’s financial position. Proceeds from the financing were used for (i) working capital, (ii) the repayment of debt and (iii) to strengthen the Company’s financial position.

 

Prior to the private placement, the Company entered into a $5.0 million asset-based lending facility with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd (“Laurus”) in August 2003, which was amended on July 30, 2004 (see Note 9) to increase the Company’s financial flexibility.  The Company also has other lending facilities available to certain of its subsidiaries, such as in Japan and France.

 

In addition to the lending facilities available to the Company, management has taken steps to reduce and defer discretionary spending to more closely match expenses with actual and projected revenues.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which, except as described elsewhere herein, consisted only of normal recurring adjustments) which management considers necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at March 31, 2005 and the results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.  The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results anticipated for the entire year ending December 31, 2005.

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding revenue recognition, and the recoverability of intangible assets that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Note 3.  Stock-Based Incentive Compensation

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -Transition and Disclosure – an amendment of SFAS No. 123.”  SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.  In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.  As provided in SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to apply APB Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation plans.  APB No. 25 does not require options to be expensed when granted with an exercise price equal to or greater than the grant-date market value.  The Company is complying with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148.

 

Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its options under SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net loss would have been increased to the pro forma amount indicated below:

 

		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2005			2004
		(Unaudited)
Net loss as reported		$	(1,253	)	$	(3,892	)
Less: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under Black-Scholes option pricing model, net of tax		(105		)	(139		)
Pro forma net loss		$	(1,358	)	$	(4,031	)
Basic and diluted loss per common share
As reported		$	(0.12	)	$	(0.39	)
Pro forma		$	(0.13	)	$	(0.40	)

 

Note 4.  Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Neither the Financial Accounting Standards Board (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants nor the SEC have issued any significant accounting pronouncements since the Company filed its June 30, 2004 Form 10-Q that are believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

 

7

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123-R which replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. As originally issued, SFAS No. 123 established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. However, that pronouncement permitted entities to continue applying the intrinsic-value-based model of APB Opinion 25, provided that the financial statements disclosed the pro forma net income or loss based on the fair-value method.  The Company is required to apply SFAS No. 123-R as of the first interim reporting period that begins after December 31, 2005 as required under a new rule adopted by the SEC on April 14, 2005, that amends the compliance dates of SFAS No. 123-R. Thus, the Company’s consolidated financial statements will reflect an expense for (a) all share-based compensation arrangements granted after December 31, 2005 and for any such arrangements that are modified, cancelled, or repurchased after that date, and (b) the portion of previous share-based awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered as of that date, based on the grant-date estimated fair value of those awards.

 

Note 5. Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share

 

The Company calculates earnings or loss per common share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share.  Accordingly, basic loss per common share excludes dilution for potentially dilutive securities and is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.  When a company is in a loss position, basic and diluted loss per common share are the same.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per common share:

 

		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2005			2004
		(in thousands, except per share amounts)
		(Unaudited)
Numerator:
Net loss		$	(1,253	)	$	(3,892	)
Denominator:
Weighted average outstanding shares of common stock		10,519			9,965
Basic and diluted loss per common share		$	(0.12	)	$	(0.39	)

 

Note 6. Comprehensive Loss

 

Comprehensive loss consists of net loss, adjusted for other increases or decreases affecting stockholders’ equity that are excluded in the determination of net loss.  The calculation of comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 is as follows:

 

		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2005			2004
		(Unaudited)
		(in thousands)
Net loss		$	(1,253	)	$	(3,892	)

Comprehensive loss		$	(1,471	)	$	(4,151	)

Note 7. Segment and Geographic Information

 

Income from operations is assigned by region based upon management responsibility.  The Company has assigned its management responsibilities to cover four geographic areas: Americas, EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), Japan, and Asia.  Each geographic area is managed by an executive vice president of the Company.  The following table presents financial information about the Company’s operations by geographic region:

Note 8. Contingencies/Litigation

 

The Company is a party to a number of legal claims arising in the ordinary course of its business.  The Company believes the ultimate resolution of these claims will not have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Note 9. Debt

 

On August 14, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”) and received a $5.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Laurus Facility”) in the form of a three-year convertible note (the “Secured Convertible Note”) secured by an interest in all of the Company’s property and assets located in the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK), except for intellectual property rights. Borrowings under the Laurus Facility are based on the balance of eligible trade accounts receivable reported by the Company’s operating entities in the US and the UK. The Laurus Facility automatically renews every three years unless cancelled by the Company or Laurus.

 

In June 2004, the Company used $2.2 million of the net proceeds of the private placement of $9.0 million of convertible preferred stock (the “Preferred Series A Financing”) completed on June 16, 2004 to reduce the amount outstanding under the Laurus Facility from $3.5 million to $1.3 million. On July 30, 2004, the Company and Laurus agreed to amend the Laurus Facility by replacing the Secured Convertible Note of up to $5.0 million with a Secured Convertible Minimum Borrowing Note (the “Minimum Borrowing Note”) in the amount of $1.5 million and a Secured Revolving Note of up to $3.5 million (collectively the “Laurus Restructuring”). Effective upon the execution of the Laurus Restructuring documents on July 30, 2004, the $1.3 million outstanding under the Laurus Facility was incorporated as monies provided by Laurus under the Minimum Borrowing Note.  In August 2004, Laurus provided Artemis an additional $0.2 million under the Minimum Borrowing Note, thereby exhausting the funds available to Artemis under the Minimum Borrowing Note.

 

The Minimum Borrowing Note is due on August 26, 2006 and is convertible into common stock of the Company at the option of the holder at the following prices: 190,000 shares at $1.45 per share, 190,000 shares at $1.81 per share, and 342,646 shares at $2.57 per share, totaling 722,646 shares of common stock of the Company.  Loans exceeding $1.5 million may be available to the Company under the Secured Revolving Note, based on the balance of the Company’s eligible trade accounts receivable. If the balance on the Minimum Borrowing Note is zero, such portion of the balance of the Secured Revolving Note that exceeds $1.0 million shall be deemed to be extinguished on the Secured Revolving Note and transferred to a new serialized Minimum Borrowing Note. Once a new serialized Minimum Borrowing Note reaches $1.5 million, the Company is required to file a registration statement with the SEC to register the shares underlying the new serialized Minimum Borrowing Note. Thereafter, except as amended on March 31, 2005 (see below), the conversion price adjusts to 105% of the average closing market price of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding each additional serialized $1.5 million Minimum Borrowing Note. All of the aforementioned conversion prices are subject to an anti-dilution provision in the form of a price protection clause. Under the terms of the related agreement, absent an event of default as defined, conversion of the Minimum Borrowing Note into the Company’s common stock may not result in beneficial ownership by Laurus (including shares issuable under the warrants issued to Laurus in conjunction with the Laurus Facility that are exercisable within sixty days of any determination date) of more than 2.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Minimum Borrowing Note has a 30% prepayment penalty. Any loans under the Secured Revolving Note are convertible only in an event of default. The Company currently has no loans outstanding under the Secured Revolving Note.

 

The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC on November 3, 2004 (which was amended in December 2004 and January 2005) to register the common stock underlying the Minimum Borrowing Note and the Laurus Warrant.  The SEC declared such registration statement effective on February 3, 2005.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, Laurus converted $242,000 of the outstanding $1.5 million Minimum Borrowing Note in exchange for 166,700 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Subsequent to March 31, 2005, Laurus converted an additional $393,000 of the then outstanding Minimum Borrowing Note in exchange for 219,278 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

10

 

On March 31, 2005, the Company and Laurus executed a Waiver Letter and Amendment (the “Letter Agreement”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement, the Company received $2,850,000, net of fees of $150,000, on March 31, 2005 in the form of a revolving credit advance (the “Advance”) under the existing $5.0 million facility with Laurus.  The Advance bears interest of one percent (1.00%) per month and becomes due on January 1, 2006.  The parties further agreed that the conversion price with respect to the next Minimum Borrowing Note (as defined in Amendment No. 1 to the Security Agreement, dated July 30, 2004) as may be issued after March 31, 2005 shall be equal to the lesser of (i) $2.92 per share or (ii) 105% of the volume weighted average closing price for the Company’s common stock on the principal market, or on any securities exchange or other securities market on which the common stock is then listed or quoted, for the five trading days immediately prior to the $1,500,000 aggregation of such new Minimum Borrowing Note.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary in Finland, Artemis Finland Oy (“Artemis Finland”), entered into a loan agreement with a financial institution in the amount of approximately $3.1 million.  The loan amount has been fully repaid in three installments through April 1, 2005 (See Note 11).

 

Note 10. Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On June 16, 2004 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed a private placement of $9.0 million of unregistered convertible preferred stock (the “Preferred Series A Financing”).  In connection with this transaction, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,090,909 shares of convertible preferred stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) to certain accredited investors (the “Series A Holders”), priced at $2.20 per share, each of which is convertible into one share of the Company’s common stock.

 

In addition, the Company issued to the Series A Holders (i) five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 409,090 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.64 per share (the “Initial Warrants”) and (ii) 210-day warrants (the “Additional Warrants”) (a) that are exercisable only in the event that the Six Month Price (as defined below) is less than $2.20 and (b) to purchase a variable number of shares of common stock at $.01 per share based upon the Six Month Price.  The number of issuable shares was determined by the “Six Month Price” which is defined as the greater of $1.75 or the lowest average closing price of the Company’s common stock for any 15 consecutive day period during the six-month period immediately following the Closing Date.  The Initial Warrants vested and became fully exercisable on the issuance date. As of December 15, 2004, the Six Month Price was $1.98 per share, which resulted in the issuance of 456,853 Additional Warrants to the Series A Holders.  As of December 31, 2004 certain Series A Holders exercised their Additional Warrants resulting in the issuance of 279,188 shares of common stock.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the remaining Additional Warrants were exercised resulting in the issuance of 177,665 shares of common stock.

 

Proceeds from the Preferred Series A Financing approximated $8.6 million, net of issuance costs of $0.4 million, and are being used for (i) working capital, (ii) the repayment of debt and (iii) to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet.  $2.2 million of the net proceeds were transferred on behalf of Artemis directly to Laurus to pay certain over-advances due at the Closing Date.  (See Note 9 for more information on the Laurus Facility).

 

With respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series A Holders maintain certain powers, preferences and rights that are senior to the holders of the Company’s common stock. The Series A Holders (i) are entitled to one vote per share on all matters upon which holders of common stock are entitled to vote, (ii) have certain voting consents, (iii) so long as at least twenty-five percent of Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, have the right to elect one member of the board of directors of the Company, and (iv) so long as at least thirty percent of the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company cannot redeem or declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on its common stock without the prior written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

The exercise prices and the number of shares underlying the warrants are subject to anti-dilution adjustments in connection with mergers, acquisitions, stock splits, dividends and the like.  The Series A Holders may pay the exercise price for the shares to be purchased upon exercise of the warrants by paying cash equal to the number of shares to be purchased times the appropriate exercise price per share, or, if the market price of our common stock exceeds the exercise price to be paid per share, the Series A Holders may, at their option, exchange the right to purchase all or part of the maximum shares underlying the warrants for that number of shares equal in value to the amount by which the closing price of a share of our common stock preceding the exercise date exceeds the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares to be purchased at that exercise price.

The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC on July 19, 2004 (which was amended in August and October 2004) to register the common stock, which was or may be issued as described above.  The SEC declared such registration statement effective on October 29, 2004.

 

Note 11.  Other Related Party Transactions

 

At March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had no receivables due from Proha, which, factoring in the common stock conversion rights of the holders of the Series A preferred stock (see Note 10) owns approximately 54% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.  At March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had other payables to Proha of $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

 

On March 1, 2004, Artemis Finland entered into a loan agreement with a financial institution in the amount of approximately $3.1 million. The loan was originally due on March 1, 2006 and accrued interest at 0.5 percentage points above the 3-month Euribor rate per annum, payable on a quarterly basis. The loan was secured by cash collateral provided by Proha equal to the loan amount and a security interest in substantially all of Artemis Finland’s assets. Artemis and Proha executed a letter of commitment, whereby Proha agreed to provide the Company sufficient advance notice of its intent to demand the return of its collateral from the financial institution.  On October 11, 2004, the Company received a notification from Proha declaring its intent to demand the return of its $3.1 million collateral. Under this notification, the Company was required to repay the loan by January 10, 2005. On January 11, 2005, Artemis Finland and Proha informed the financial institution to use the cash collateral provided by Proha as the method by which Artemis Finland shall be deemed to have pre-paid the loan in full. Contemporaneously, Artemis Finland entered into a Payment Schedule Agreement (“Payment Agreement”) with Proha, whereby Proha effectively replaced the financial institution as the creditor and Artemis Finland agreed to pay Proha 2.5 million Euros in three installments (1.25 million Euros by January 17, 2005, 625,000 Euros by February 28, 2005 and 625,000 Euros by March 31, 2005).  The first two installments were paid on the respective due dates and the final installment of approximately $0.8 million was made on April 1, 2005.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company engaged Bengt Algevik to perform certain business consultancy functions for which he received consideration, including reimbursement of travel and other expenses, of approximately $200,000. Mr. Algevik completed his assignment in May 2004 and was appointed as a director of the Company effective June 16, 2004.

 

There are several other related party agreements in place between Artemis Finland and Proha or its subsidiaries and investees as further described below:

 

•                  Artemis Finland shares office space with Proha, for which Proha charges Artemis Finland a share of its office-related costs (“Office Allocation Charge”), such as rent, utilities, telecommunication costs, office maintenance and certain other business costs. The Office Allocation Charge approximated $136,000 and  $105,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

•                  Intellisoft Oy, an application service provider, which is owned by Proha (80.1%) and Artemis (19.9%), has been providing certain application hosting and other services to Artemis Finland and its customers in the amount of approximately $47,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. No such services have been provided during the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

 

•                  Datamar Oy, a subsidiary of Proha (90%), is providing certain project management and programming services to Artemis Finland (“Management Programming Fee”). The Management Programming Fee charged to Artemis Finland approximated $45,000 and $42,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

•                  Tesnet Group Oy (formerly Intellitest International Oy), a company partially owned by Proha (35%), provides certain software testing services to Artemis Finland (“Testing Services”).  These Testing Services approximated $62,000 and $66,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

12

 

•      Artemis Finland is a distributor of software products provided by Safran Software Solutions AS (“Safran”), a Norwegian company wholly owned by Proha. The royalty paid by Artemis Finland to Safran approximated $10,000 and $6,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

•      Artemis Finland has provided certain software development services to ProCountor International Oy (“ProCountor”), a company partially owned by Proha (19%). ProCountor has provided certain software development services to Artemis Finland Oy and charged a fee for use of a web-based travel and expense claims program of approximately $1,000 and $13,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

•      Artemis Finland cooperated with Futura One Oy (“Futura”), a company majority owned by Proha (51%). Artemis Finland has charged Futura for accounting services of approximately $0 and $2,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

At March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company maintained equity holdings in certain joint ventures, which are accounted for under the equity method, with the exception of Metier Scandinavia AS (Norway), Metier Plancom BV(Netherlands) and DA Management Solutions(Finland) which are accounted for under the cost method.  The Company records its equity interest in net losses first to the investment balance, then against loans or advances.

 

In September 2000, Artemis International France Sarl (“Artemis France”) entered into a joint venture agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Canadian company Changepoint Corporation (“Changepoint”) and established the joint venture, Changepoint France Sarl (“Changepoint France”).  Artemis France and Changepoint owned 40% and 60% of Changepoint France, respectively.  The Agreement provides for a put and call option for Artemis France to sell and Changepoint to purchase the 40% interest held by Artemis France under certain conditions.  The Company has exercised its put option to sell its 40% interest in Changepoint France. In May 2004, Compuware Corporation acquired privately held Changepoint.

 

An issue arose regarding the Company exercising its put option, which the parties settled in March of 2005 (the “Settlement”).  Pursuant to the Settlement, the Company received $829,000 (including VAT of $136,000) and $557,000  (including VAT of $92,000) in cash in March and April of 2005, respectively, representing the nominal value of the shares held by Artemis France in the joint venture, shareholder loans and other receivables owed to the Company.  As a result of the Settlement, the Company recognized a pretax gain of $756,000 reported under the caption “Other (income), net” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

 

Note 12. Benefit Plans

 

The Company has a defined contribution plan (“the Plan”) which qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Plan covers all U.S. employees who may contribute up to 15% of their annual compensation. Employer contributions vest to the participants incrementally over a period of five years. Company contributions to the Plan were $22,000 and zero during the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

The Company also has a defined benefit pension plan covering the employees of its United Kingdom subsidiary. Company contributions are determined based upon a percentage, as determined by an actuary, of an eligible employee’s annual salary.  Company contributions to the defined benefit pension plan during the year ended December 31, 2004 was $0.4 million.  The projected contribution for the year ending December 31, 2005 is $0.3 million.

 

Net defined benefit pension cost included the following components:

Note 13.  Restructuring Costs

 

The Company has not initiated any restructuring actions during the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

 

In response to a decline in the Company’s key operating metrics, such as total revenue, operating margin and revenue per employee the Company initiated a restructuring of its operations and associated workforce reduction during the quarter ended March 31, 2004 (collectively, the “Restructuring”) intended to strengthen the Company’s competitive position and future operating performance. The Company’s total charge related to this Restructuring is approximately $1.2 million, all of which the Company recognized as a charge in the first quarter of 2004.

 

The Restructuring charge recognized in the first quarter of 2004 is comprised primarily of severance and associated employee termination costs related to the reduction of the Company’s workforce of approximately $1.0 million and professional fees of approximately $0.2 million, incurred to successfully implement the restructuring and improve the competitive position of the Company.

 

As part of the Restructuring, the Company has reduced its workforce by a total of 17 employees, or less than 5% of its workforce.  This workforce reduction has affected North American and EMEA operations.  The costs associated with the Company’s workforce reduction recognized during the first quarter of 2004 consist primarily of severance, COBRA benefits, payroll taxes and other associated employment termination costs.  Additional costs were incurred to relocate employees and consolidate facilities.

 

Note 14. Licensing Agreement

 

In December 2004, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the “AMS Agreement”) with Advanced Management Solutions Inc. (“AMS”), a company providing Enterprise Project and Resource Management solutions, whereby (i) the Company obtained the worldwide exclusive right to use, market and grant sub-licenses with respect to certain software developed by AMS (the “AMS Software), (ii) AMS will provide additional development services under direction of the Company, and (iii) the Company has obtained the right to purchase the AMS Software through November 30, 2006.

 

The initial term of the software license ends November 30, 2007, and is renewable for one additional three-year term. The Company has agreed on certain minimum royalty payments to secure worldwide exclusivity. Also as part of the transaction, the Company agreed to pay AMS $0.5 million to secure the option to purchase the AMS Software. This option fee was paid by the Company to AMS in April 2005 and is non-recoverable. The option fee is being amortized over the option term through November 30, 2006.

 

Further, the Company has agreed to fund the additional development work with $0.5 million to be paid in five installments. The first such installment of $0.1 million was paid in December 2004. The additional development work is being capitalized in accordance with SFAS No. 86 “Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software.”

 

The purchase price for the AMS Software is $2.5 million and is payable in two annual installments, should the Company elect to exercise such option.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing

 

15

 

basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, the valuation of long-lived and intangible assets and the amortization of intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

 

•              Revenue recognition;

 

•              Valuation of long-lived and intangible assets;

 

•              Amortization of intangible assets;

 

•              Valuation of deferred tax assets; and

 

•              Estimation of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company has adopted Statement of Position, or SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended, which generally requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair market values of each of the elements. The estimated fair value of an element is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”).  Software license revenue allocated to a software product is recognized upon delivery of the product, or deferred and recognized in future periods to the extent that an arrangement includes one or more elements that are to be delivered at a future date and for which VSOE has not been established. Maintenance and support revenue is recognized ratably over the maintenance term. First-year maintenance typically is sold with the related software license and renewed on an annual basis thereafter. Estimated fair values of ongoing maintenance and support obligations are based on separate sales of renewals to other customers or upon renewal rates quoted in the contracts. For such arrangements with multiple elements, we allocate revenue to each component of the arrangement based on the estimated fair value of the undelivered elements. Fair value of services, such as consulting or training, is based upon separate sales of these services. The Company at times may enter into multiple-customer contracts in which the Company allocates revenue based on the number of specified users at each customer, and recognizes revenue upon customer acceptance and satisfying the other applicable conditions of the above described accounting policy.

 

Services revenue is recognized as the service is performed assuming that sufficient evidence exists to estimate the fair value of the services. Consulting and training services are billed based on contractual hourly rates and revenues are recognized as the services are performed. Consulting services primarily consist of implementation services related to the installation of the Company’s products, which do not require significant customization to, or modification of the underlying software code.

 

Significant management judgments and estimates must be made in connection with determination of the revenue to be recognized in any accounting period. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates for any period, material differences in the amount and/or timing of revenue recognized could result.

 

Valuation of long-lived and intangible assets

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, we assess intangible assets and other long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the assets. If we determine that the carrying value of any such assets may not be recoverable, we measure impairment by using the projected discounted cash-flow method in accordance with SFAS No. 144.

 

Amortization of intangible assets

 

Intangible assets at March 31, 2005 consist of acquired customer bases. Customer bases acquired directly are valued at cost, which approximates estimated fair value at the time of purchase. The costs assigned to intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets, and will be fully amortized during the third quarter ended September 31, 2005.

 

16

 

Valuation of deferred tax assets

 

The Company records an estimated valuation allowance on its significant deferred tax assets when, based on the weight of available evidence (including the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income or loss, and tax-planning strategies), it is more likely than not that some or all of the tax benefit will not be realized.

 

Allowance for doubtful accounts receivable

 

We establish our allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on our qualitative and quantitative review of credit profiles of our customers, contractual terms and conditions, current economic trends and historical payment, return and discount experience. We reassess the allowance for doubtful accounts each period. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates for any period, material differences in the amount and/or timing of such allowance could result.

		$	2,815		$	2,796		$	19		1	%

 

Software revenue represents fees earned for granting customers licenses to use our software products. Software revenue overall was flat compared to the first quarter of 2004. The Company’s project portfolio management product, Artemis 7, increased by 120% compared to the first quarter of 2004, representing 60% of the total software revenue compared to 28% for the first quarter of 2004. From a geographical perspective, increases in software revenues in Japan were offset by decreases in the US. EMEA remained flat compared to the first quarter of 2004, with increases in software revenue in France and the UK being offset by decreases in Germany, Finland and Italy.

Support revenue consists of fees for providing software updates and technical support for our software products.

 

Services Revenue

		2005			2004			$			%
Americas		$	491		$	1,182		$	(691	)	-58	%

Asia		142			235			(93		)	-40	%
		$	4,796		$	6,421		$	(1,625	)	-25	%

 

Services revenue consists of fees for consulting and training services generated by our personnel and through subcontracted third-party arrangements.  Services revenue recognized by our United States subsidiary declined by approximately 58% due in part to a reduction in services provided to two of the Company’s largest customers.  As these

 

19

 

relationships have matured, the level of consulting and training services required by those customers has significantly decreased.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

		Three Months Ended March 31,						Change
		2005			2004			$			%
Americas		$	836		$	1,311		$	(475	)	-36	%
EMEA		4,054			4,342			(288		)	-7	%
Japan		333			528			(195		)	-37	%
Asia		105			124			(19		)	-15	%
		$	5,328		$	6,305		$	(977	)	-15	%

 

Cost of revenue consists primarily of salaries and third-party expenses principally related to consulting, software maintenance services and training services.  The decrease in cost of revenue in the Americas was primarily due to the decrease in services revenue.  Since the majority of our costs of revenue are directly related to our support and service revenues, this had a significant impact on overall costs of revenues.

 

Gross Profit

 

Total gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $6.6 million, a decrease of $0.7 million or 10%, from $7.3 million for the same period of 2004. Gross profit margin for the three months ended March 2005 increased approximately 1 percentage point, to 55% from 54% during the same period of 2004, reflecting the aforementioned changes in the mix of revenues and cost of revenue efficiencies.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Selling and Marketing expenses

 

Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel related costs for our direct sales force and marketing staff and cost for marketing programs, including advertising, trade shows, promotional materials and customer conferences.  Selling and marketing expenses increased by $0.1 million or 3% to $3.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005, from $3.8 million during the same period of 2004.

 

Research and development

 

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs associated with the development of our products.  Research and development expenses decreased by $0.2 million or 10% to $1.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005, from $2.1 million during the same period of 2004.  The decrease in research and development expense is a result of a reduction in headcount in our Newport Beach development center in late 2004, partially offset by adding additional resources to our outsourced development team.

 

General and administrative

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel salaries and wages and related costs for general corporate functions, including executive, legal, finance, accounting, human resources and information systems.  General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.8 million or 30% to $1.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005, from $2.7 million during the same period of 2004.  The decrease is primarily a result of the restructuring actions taken during 2004 as well as efforts to reduce discretionary spending.

Amortization expense

 

Amortization expense represents the financial statement effect of amortizing certain intangible assets. The Company recorded amortization expense of $0.6 million and $1.0 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease in amortization expense during the first quarter of 2005 compared to the same quarter in 2004 is a result of the intangible asset related to certain technology being fully impaired during the quarter ended December 31, 2004.

Restructuring expense

 

The Company’s restructuring charges for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, are comprised primarily of: (i) severance pay (including related payroll taxes) and associated one-time employee termination costs related to the reduction of the Company’s workforce; (ii) relocation costs resulting from organizational realignments; and (iii) professional fees incurred to improve the competitive position of the Company.  The Company accounts for the costs associated with exiting an activity, including costs associated with the reduction of the Company’s workforce, in accordance with SFAS No. 146.
