These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Please see “Risk Factors that May Affect Future Results,” “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and the factors and risks discussed in other reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview

Pervasive Software is a leading worldwide provider of embedded data management solutions and services to support the development, deployment and management of mission-critical business applications. Our high-performance, flexible database, Pervasive.SQL is widely installed with more than 5.4 million server seats licensed to date. Pervasive.SQL offers advanced data management technology combined with a very low total cost of ownership (TCO), resulting in an average 7-to-1 improvement over another competitor’s database, according to a June 2003 Aberdeen Group study. Our sophisticated database replication technology, Pervasive DataExchange, offers targeted solutions to data movement and synchronization problems like maintaining an offsite warm backup, driving transactional data into a data portal, and connecting remote databases. With Pervasive.SQL and Pervasive DataExchange, independent software vendors (ISVs) can create sophisticated yet low-maintenance business applications that reach far beyond the desktop to easily share information from workstations to the Web. In addition, we recently extended our product line with our data security product, Pervasive AuditMaster. Pervasive AuditMaster provides a new level of security for business applications by monitoring and reporting all activity occurring in a Pervasive.SQL database, leveraging deep-level capture, report and alert technology to enable monitoring of mission critical data without the high costs of application redevelopment and deployment, training, or on-going maintenance. Our software products are designed for integration by ISVs into client/server, Web and mobile applications, sold to small to mid-size enterprises (SMEs), which typically have environments with little to no information technology (IT) infrastructure and require self-tuning, low-administration products. As a result, end-users can concentrate on running their businesses instead of managing the data management solutions underlying their applications, which is particularly critical to this large market.

Industry Background

In-Stat/MDR estimates mid-sized businesses (representing 90 thousand businesses in the U.S. with 100-999 employees) will spend approximately $14.7 billion on computer software applications in 2004, an increase of 6% over In-Stat/MDR’s estimates for 2003. Further, In-Stat/MDR expects this spending to continue to grow to more than $16.2 billion in 2006. Likewise, computer software applications spending by small businesses (representing 2.4 million businesses in the U.S. with 5-99 employees) is expected to grow 6% in 2004 over estimates for 2003, reaching nearly $35 billion. SMEs are clearly under continuing pressure to stretch their limited IT resources and improve productivity across their firms. However, In-Stat/MDR believes that as economic conditions slowly improve, growth in the number of SMEs and software application spending by those SMEs is expected to outpace growth in the large enterprise.

Similarly, Forrester Research, Inc. recently surveyed technology decision-makers at 151 North American firms with less than $500 million in revenue—56% of which have less than $100 million—to understand how small and midsize companies differ from their larger peers with respect to IT spending. They found that on average, SMEs will increase their IT spending by 15% over 2002—with the most growth concentrated in the low end of the sector.

We believe these trends in the SME market, combined with the current overall macroeconomic environment, will continue to favor Pervasive over the competition due to heightened sensitivity to Pervasive’s strengths of high-performance, embedded solutions at a low cost. Continued pressure on the level of IT investment indicates companies are likely to continue to delay major application conversions and instead enhance and expand the lives of current applications, many of which are packaged applications, rather than seek alternatives. Pervasive is well positioned to benefit from these extended applications, as well as from new application development when companies look to Pervasive as the TCO leader. On the other hand, Pervasive may be negatively impacted by those SMEs who make brand-name decisions, rather than pure cost or performance decisions, when given a choice of database for their application. Overall, Pervasive expects continued demand for Pervasive.SQL upgrades and licenses for the foreseeable future.

Pervasive Business Model

Pervasive has operations in Austin, Texas; Brussels; Frankfurt; London; Paris and Warsaw, and a joint venture in Japan. We sell products worldwide in more than 150 countries through direct and channel distribution. Our channel includes more than 10,000 independent software vendors, developers, value-added resellers and partners who have built or deployed applications on top of our platform.

Many SME organizations with limited IT resources rely on this channel to help them develop, deploy and maintain business-critical applications. Our products and marketing approach are specifically tailored to meet the needs of our channel partners and their customers. In particular, we have designed sales, marketing, training and licensing programs to encourage development of new client/server, Web and mobile applications with Pervasive.SQL. We believe our sharp focus on our customers and their end-users provides us with multiple sales opportunities, a cost-effective, value-added source of service and technical support and a large, loyal and well-educated channel that develops and deploys applications using our offerings.

The Pervasive Core Offering

Pervasive.SQL, our core database product offering, combines the high performance associated with enterprise-class databases with numerous low-maintenance features and is ideally suited for client/server, Web and mobile mission-critical applications deployed on a variety of the most popular operating systems.

Our offerings allow a broad range of customers to:

Sales of our most-recent version, Pervasive.SQL V8, were strong in the second half of fiscal year 2003 following its release in December 2002, a testament to its high product quality. Development began during the year on the next major release of Pervasive.SQL. This version, V9, which is slated for release in the summer of 2004, incorporates many of the most-requested customer features and benefits, as well as a boost in SQL performance, providing compelling reasons for upgrades and competitive wins in the marketplace.

Pervasive DataExchange, our core replication offering, offers targeted solutions to data movement and synchronization problems like maintaining an offsite warm backup, driving transactional data into a data portal, and connecting remote databases. DataExchange solutions feature a combination of product and services customized for the business problem to be solved:

Pervasive AuditMaster, our core security product offering, monitors and reports all activity occurring in a Pervasive.SQL database, leveraging deep-level capture, report and alert technology to enable monitoring of mission critical data without the high costs of application redevelopment and deployment, training, or on-going maintenance. This technology is particularly relevant in the accounting and healthcare markets, both of which are presently dealing with increased regulatory requirements brought about by the Sarbanes Oxley Act and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). AuditMaster provides data access accountability by means of three modules:

In response to the growing need for ad hoc search capabilities in Pervasive.SQL powered software applications, we acquired a license to search engine technology in June 2003 for release to the global market of Pervasive.SQL ISVs. Our new search product will allow application developers to incorporate powerful text and numeric search capabilities directly into their Pervasive.SQL V8-based applications with a minimum of development effort. With our search product, developers can build custom search User Interfaces directly into their applications allowing the application’s end user to quickly search for any data in the Pervasive.SQL database using simple text queries rather than complicated SQL syntax. Matching results are returned through XML allowing the application developer to determine the best way they would like to display those results to the end user.

And, on August 8, 2003, we announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire privately held Data Junction Corporation, a pioneering data and application integration company based in Austin, Texas, for up to $22.1 million in cash and 5 million shares of Pervasive common stock. The transaction is valued at a total of approximately $52.1 million. The agreement has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of Pervasive and Data Junction and is subject to the approval of the shareholders of both companies. The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth calendar quarter of 2003.

Data Junction’s primary products include the Data Junction Integration Studio, which is a comprehensive set of visual design tools for rapidly building and testing data integration processes that work with hundreds of data formats and applications. This enables design with total control over all aspects of the integration project—from creating integration maps to managing complex, event-driven flow of inter-application messages and EDI processes. Data Junction virtually created the category known as ETL (extract, transform and load) in 1986 with

Data Junction v1.0, one of the world’s first hub-and-spoke approaches to data conversion and translation, and today is charting new ground in the development of business and application integration technologies.

The Pervasive Strategy

Pervasive’s goal is to be the leading, best-value source of high-performance, embedded data management products powering mission-critical applications. Our data management infrastructure offerings are tailored to meet the specific needs of independent software vendors (ISVs) and value-added resellers (VARs) who serve the SME market, and we invest in partnering programs that create a sense of community and communication between Pervasive and our customers. Key elements of our strategy are:

Leverage our Core Competencies.    Our low total cost of ownership database is widely installed with more than 5.4 million server seats licensed since our inception in 1994. Many of these seats are deployed in SME organizations that have not yet adopted the latest generation of our database products. Hence, we believe we have a significant opportunity in upgrading these seats to our current or next-generation client/server, Web and mobile database products. We plan to reach these customers through our loyal channel of ISVs, VARs, systems integrators and consultants and continue to seek their input to guide our product development activities. We intend to conduct joint marketing programs with our channel partners and customers encouraging upgrades to recent versions of our database, upgrades of additional user counts, upgrades to new or additional platforms, as well as upgrades of the ISVs’ applications themselves.

Our ongoing and past investments in training and educating our customers worldwide, our long-term relationships with ISVs and VARs and our success in encouraging them to embed our products into their applications have created a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Our channel approach is designed to further the integration of our products into client/server, Web and mobile applications and to stimulate sales of the ISVs’ applications themselves. We intend to continue to build customer loyalty by providing significant revenue opportunities, meaningful certification programs and other offerings via our enhanced marketing, training, consulting and lead-sharing programs, as well as by ensuring customer satisfaction through the delivery of high quality products and support programs.

Continue Our Obsession with Customer Success.    Much of our success can be attributed to our obsessive focus on our customers’ success. We intend to continue this focus and will continue to vigorously monitor customer satisfaction through both internal and external surveys and tie results to our company-wide internal bonus program. These efforts were recognized by an award from the Association of Support Professionals, which named Pervasive’s Web site one of the top 10 best Web support sites in 2002 and have consistently placed us in the top quartile for customer satisfaction of technology companies whose customers have been surveyed by our independent customer satisfaction survey firm, Prognostics. Commitment to customer success is a core value of Pervasive Software.

Address Markets Which Require High-value, Embedded Database Technology.    We have excelled in simplifying the complexity associated with data management for thousands of client/server applications, representing nearly every industry in every major region of the world. It is extensive communication with a diverse set of customers that enables us to understand their needs and prioritize the requirements for future product development. This includes identifying needs relevant to a particular horizontal or vertical market. We intend to leverage our understanding of, as well as our success in, these markets for new business development. We have relative strength in many markets, including:

Develop Value-add, Third-party Partnerships.    Further, we intend to explore opportunities to partner with third-party development tool vendors where the Pervasive data management solution is a natural complement to their product offerings, and in cases where Pervasive’s strengths of performance, embeddability and low total cost of ownership overshadow brand preferences. Agreements announced in fiscal year 2003 include agreements with Data Access Worldwide, a leading provider of data-management solutions powering the success of application developers worldwide, Intelliun Corporation, an innovator in simplifying J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) development, and Magic Software Enterprises, a leading provider of state-of-the-art development and integration technology.

Expand the Product Line.    Pervasive has achieved success in the past by delivering a single product—a data management solution—to run mission-critical applications in tens of thousands of companies. This has been accomplished through the establishment and cultivation of a very large channel. We believe additional success can be achieved by expanding our product line and marketing new products to our established customer base, working exclusively through our channel. We have developed a framework for this expansion, which we are calling the Pervasive Ecosystem. The Ecosystem is comprised of several new product categories, such as data security, business intelligence and integration. In fiscal year 2003, we have announced the release of DataExchange (data security), the acquisition of AuditMaster technology (data security) and the license of full text search technology (business intelligence) and on August 8, 2003, we announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Data Junction Corporation (data integration) which is scheduled to close in the fourth calendar quarter of 2003. We expect to further invest in product line expansion through continued internal development, licensing and acquisition of new products as well as the extension of existing products into new markets. Product line expansion may also be derived from the acquisition of other complementary embedded data management products and/or companies that represent an opportunity for Pervasive to increase the size of its core customer base. We further expect that product line expansion will allow us to enter new channels and new markets.

Remain Committed to Continued Profitability.    Since March 2001, we have reported ten consecutive quarters of profitability. Our profitability has been consistent with our quarterly financial guidance and is a result of: 1) our sharp focus on our core data management business; 2) consistent license revenue in each of our primary geographies and channels; and 3) prudent expense management. This excellent performance was achieved in the midst of a very difficult economic environment. We remain committed to profitability and believe it will continue through our prudent management of expenses, increasing marketing and sales productivity around the globe and as a result of our next-generation product releases and product line expansion anticipated in fiscal year 2004.

Sales and Marketing

Our sales and marketing organizations focus on our worldwide channels by targeting software developers who build client/server, Web and mobile applications and the Web and systems integrators, consultants and value-added resellers who sell and implement the applications to end users. Our marketing organization has primary responsibility for product direction and has developed a number of programs utilized by the sales organization to support our channel partners, such as our Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) program for independent software vendors and partner programs for Web and systems integrators, consultants and VARs. These programs are worldwide in scope and capture leads from a variety of activities including direct response marketing and advertising, joint marketing and public relations.

Our OEM program focuses on recruiting and retention of independent software vendors worldwide who embed our products on an OEM basis. The OEM program is designed to build mutually beneficial strategic relationships between Pervasive and our independent software vendors and generate ongoing royalties for us through licensing contracts, which are typically for three-year terms. This program offers our OEM partners joint marketing services, volume discounts, specialized technical support, training and consulting, which enable delivery of tightly integrated solutions to end users.

Our other sales and marketing programs recruit and retain software developers and channel partners who develop applications that are designed to be deployed with shrink-wrap versions of our data management products. These programs include trade shows, direct mail, telemarketing and telesales activities and hands-on seminars that are designed to further recruit, develop, support and train software developers and channel partners to facilitate the deployment of client/server, Web and mobile applications based on our products. If the sales volumes of these applications become sufficient, the sales group recruits these software developers into our OEM program.

The international sales organization utilizes a channel of distribution partners and OEMs worldwide. The distribution partners implement sales and marketing programs for a particular region, typically using our distributor or master distributor programs. In addition to managing these distributor relationships, the international sales group recruits and supports software developers and channel partners with the same programs as the domestic sales groups. We currently have international offices located in Brussels, Frankfurt, Paris, London and Warsaw and a joint venture in Japan.

Customer Service and Technical Support

We offer multiple levels of worldwide customer services, including technical support, professional consulting services, training and product maintenance. First level, or front line, support responds to most customer inquiries that are routine in scope via telephone and email. Second level, or back line, support responds to escalated technical issues and supports our large partners with dedicated technical expertise. In addition, developer level support ensures that ISVs can obtain assistance from a team knowledgeable in the ISV’s programming language and toolset of choice, resulting in a shortened time to market for the ISV’s application. Self-help support is also available via our award-winning Web site, which includes a searchable knowledge base, answers to frequently asked questions and technical white papers. Customer service is provided at no charge for the first 30 days after initial purchase for installation questions and at any time via our Web site. After 30 days, we offer contract and fee-based per-incident and premium support programs.

Our customer service team will, in appropriate situations, fulfill demand for fee-based consulting services from our software developer customers and channel partners. These consulting services may include development services to migrate applications on competing databases to Pervasive.SQL, migrate existing applications to the Web, upgrade existing applications to the latest Pervasive.SQL release, and optimize database functionality through performance testing, database schema design and review, and the delivery of services related to our DataExchange, AuditMaster or Full Text Search offerings. Consulting opportunities are often referred to our channel partners to strengthen channel loyalty, build the channel’s technical ability and increase the resource base available for future growth.

Our education resources train our channel partners in the use of our products for optimal performance and feature utilization. In addition, we offer channel partner certification and authorization programs to enhance the technical expertise of our authorized channel partners.

In order to provide a higher quality of customer support, we have a specialized product maintenance group. This group combines traditional technical support expertise with an engineering development team to provide maintenance for all products, develop customer-driven enhancements to our products, issue regularly scheduled service packs and handle escalations of highly technical customer issues.

Worldwide customer support, professional services and training are provided through our corporate offices in Austin, Texas. International customer support is complemented by our call center in Brussels, Belgium and via our recently enhanced multi-lingual support Website.

Research and Development

We have made substantial investments in research and development through both internal development and technology acquisition. As of June 30, 2003, we had 50 employees in research and development, and our research and development expenditures for fiscal years 2001, 2002 and 2003 were $10.5 million, $7.1 million and $8.0 million, respectively. We will continue to invest heavily in focused research and development resources to further our vision of software development environments that dramatically simplify the development, deployment and maintenance of client/server, Web and mobile applications.

Our development efforts consist primarily of driving significant levels of innovation into new and current product lines with primary goals being continuous improvement of the performance of existing product features,

9

Table of Contents

Index to Financial Statements

the addition of new differentiating product features to simplify the development and deployment of our products, and the on-going investment in emerging platform opportunities. We continue to focus development activities on enhancing Pervasive.SQL with performance, features and functionality required by SME customers today and the channel of ISVs, VARs and consultants who serve them.

We are also continuing to invest in data replication technology for deployment into customer environments where high availability and security of data is a critical need. Pervasive DataExchange offers targeted solutions to data movement and synchronization requirements like maintaining an offsite warm backup, driving transactional data into a data portal and connecting remote databases.

We continue to invest in Pervasive AuditMaster, our core security offering, which monitors and reports all activity occurring in a Pervasive.SQL database, leveraging deep-level capture, report and alert technology to enable monitoring of mission critical data without the high costs of application redevelopment and deployment, training, or on-going maintenance. This technology is particularly relevant in the accounting and healthcare markets, both of which are presently dealing with increased regulatory requirements brought about by the Sarbanes Oxley Act and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

And, we continue to invest in Pervasive Full Text Search technology which enables users to perform advanced searches to easily find information by allowing partial match, wild card and fuzzy logic searches into application and Web portal data, consistently providing sub-second responses across large databases.

Technology

Pervasive.SQL utilizes our MicroKernel Database Architecture Engine (MKDE) architecture. A primary feature of the MKDE architecture is that it enables applications to have simultaneous transactional and relational access to data. Pervasive.SQL provides a number of advantages over other database management systems including:

Applications based on Pervasive database engines can scale from single-user workstations to client/server and Web environments without re-linking or changing code.

Competition

We encounter competition for our data management products primarily from large, public companies, in particular, Sybase’s small memory footprint database software product, SQL Anywhere, and Microsoft’s database product, SQL Server. Microsoft has devoted resources to making its SQL Server product increasingly applicable to the market for our products. We believe that Microsoft will continue to incorporate SQL Server technology into its operating system software and certain of its server software offerings, possibly at no additional cost to its users. Microsoft’s activities could materially adversely affect sales of our products on the Windows platform. In addition, because there are relatively low barriers to entry in the software market, we may encounter additional competition from other established and emerging companies.

Proprietary Rights

Our success and ability to compete are dependent on our ability to develop and maintain the proprietary aspects of our technology and operate without infringing on the intellectual property rights of others. We rely primarily on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights. We also believe that factors, such as the technological and creative skills of our personnel, new research and developments, frequent product enhancements, name recognition and reliable product maintenance, are essential to establishing and maintaining a technology leadership position. We license our database software products primarily under “shrink wrap” licenses (i.e., licenses included as part of the product packaging). Shrink-wrap licenses are not negotiated with or signed by individual licensees, and purport to take effect upon the opening of the product package.

Employees

As of June 30, 2003, we employed 160 full-time employees, including 60 in sales and marketing, 50 in research and development, 29 in customer service and technical support, and 21 in general and administrative. We are not subject to any collective bargaining agreement, and we believe that our relationships with our employees are good.

Facilities

Our leased headquarters facility in Austin, Texas, consists of approximately 91,000 square feet. The facility provides additional space and expansion options and is leased through September 2008. We currently lease international offices in Brussels, Frankfurt, Paris, London and Warsaw.

RISK FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Any of the following risks could harm our business, financial condition or results of operations. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Please see the “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-K.

Our Financial Results May Vary Significantly from Quarter to Quarter

Our operating results have varied significantly from quarter to quarter at times in the past and may continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter in the future due to a variety of factors. Many of these factors are outside of our control. These factors include:

Although our revenues grew 5% in fiscal 2003, our revenues in fiscal year 2002 decreased 12% from the previous fiscal year due to a combination of factors, including: competitive forces, a different discount structure in Japan following our new business venture formed in July 2001, and what we believe to have been a general softening in the packaged client/server applications market contributing to decreased orders for our Pervasive.SQL products embedded in these applications. We believe certain of these factors could continue to negatively affect sales of our Pervasive.SQL products in the future. Significant portions of our expenses are not

Table of Contents

Index to Financial Statements

variable in the short term and cannot be quickly reduced to respond to decreases in revenues. Therefore, if our revenues are below our expectations, our operating results are likely to be adversely and disproportionately affected. In addition, we may change our prices, modify our distribution strategy and policies, accelerate our investment in research and development, sales or marketing efforts in response to competitive pressures or pursue new market opportunities. Any one of these activities may further limit our ability to adjust spending in response to revenue fluctuations.

We derive a portion of our revenues from relatively large orders. The sales cycles for these transactions tend to be longer than the sales cycles on smaller orders. This longer sales cycle for large orders makes it difficult to predict the quarter in which these sales will occur. Accordingly, our operating results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on the existence and timing of larger orders. A reduction in large orders during any quarter could materially impact our revenues.

Our revenue growth and profitability depend on the overall demand for our products and services, which in turn depends on general economic and business conditions. The nature and extent of the effect of the current economic climate on our ability to sell our products and services is uncertain. A softening of demand for our products and services caused by weakening of the economy may result in decreased revenues or lower growth rates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively promote revenue growth rates in all economic conditions.

Seasonality May Contribute to Fluctuations in Our Quarterly Operating Results

Our business has, on occasion, experienced seasonal customer buying patterns. In recent years, we have generally experienced relatively weaker demand in the quarters ending March 31 and September 30. We believe that this pattern may continue. In addition, we anticipate that demand for our products in Europe and Japan will decline in the summer months because of reduced corporate buying patterns during the vacation season.

We Currently Operate Without a Backlog

We generally operate with virtually no order backlog because our software products are shipped and revenue is recognized shortly after orders are received. This lack of backlog makes product revenues in any quarter substantially dependent on orders booked and shipped throughout that quarter. As a result, if orders in the first month or two of a quarter fall short of expectations, it is likely we will not meet our revenue targets for that quarter. As a result, our quarterly operating results would be materially and adversely affected.

Our Performance Depends on Market Acceptance of Pervasive.SQL

We derive substantially all of our revenues from the license of our Pervasive.SQL products. Continued market acceptance of Pervasive.SQL 2000i and Pervasive.SQL V8 may be influenced heavily by factors outside of our control such as new product offerings or promotions by competitors, mergers and acquisitions of customers and competitors, the product development and deployment cycles of developers and resellers who embed or bundle our products into packaged software applications and what we believe is a softening in the market for client/server applications of the type built on our products. Our latest product, Pervasive.SQL V8, was released in December 2002. Market acceptance of Pervasive.SQL 2000i, Pervasive.SQL V8 and future upgrades also may be influenced by factors in our control such as product quality, relative demand for feature and functionality upgrades and any future product announcements or price changes.

Our Efforts to Develop and Maintain Brand Awareness of Our Products May Not be Successful

Brand awareness is important given competition in the market for data management products. We are aware of other companies that use the word “Pervasive” either in their marks alone or in combination with other words. We expect that it may be difficult or impossible to prevent third-party usage of the Pervasive name and variations

13

Table of Contents

Index to Financial Statements

of this name for competing goods and services. Competitors or others who use marks similar to our brand name may cause confusion among actual and potential customers, which could prevent us from achieving significant brand recognition. If we fail to promote and maintain our brand or incur significant related expenses, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

We May Face Problems with Our Pending Acquisition of Data Junction Corporation

On August 8, 2003, we announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire privately held Data Junction Corporation, a pioneering data and application integration company based in Austin, Texas, for up to $22.1 million in cash and 5 million shares of our common stock. The agreement has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of Pervasive and Data Junction and is subject to the approval of the shareholders of both companies. The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth calendar quarter of 2003. We cannot be certain that the acquisition of Data Junction will close or be successful or that Pervasive will realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. We filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 on September 23, 2003 to register the shares of our common stock to be issued to the Data Junction shareholders in connection with the merger. The Registration Statement contains detailed descriptions of the merger, the merger agreement, Data Junction and its products, and the risk factors associated with the merger and the combined company.

We May Face Problems in Connection With Past Acquisitions, Joint Ventures or Licensing Arrangements Other than the Pending Acquisition of Data Junction

In July 2003, we licensed technology from ABACUS Research A.G., a software development company based in St. Gallen, Switzerland. The licensed technology enables users to perform advanced searches into application and Web portal data, providing sub-second responses across large databases. We licensed the technology for $600,000. Following a productization and integration effort, product availability is planned for later this calendar year. We cannot be certain that the productization and integration effort will be successful.

In April 2003, we purchased a database transaction intelligence technology from ThinkNet Inc., a software development company based in Toronto, Ontario. The acquired technology provides a continuous, comprehensive and auditable view of an application’s database operations, such as who did what when, where and how. It consists of a Pervasive.SQL logging plug-in, a query and analysis module, and a sophisticated business rules engine. It also alerts administrators to events according to predefined business rules and reports activity efficiently for analysis. Following a productization and integration effort, product availability is planned for later this calendar year. We acquired the technology for $550,000 in cash. We cannot be certain that the productization and integration effort will be successful.

In July 2001, we formed a new business venture with AG-TECH Corporation, a company developing, selling and importing packaged software, to sell and support our products in Japan. AG-TECH has been engaged in the sales and support of Btrieve (predecessor to Pervasive.SQL) and Pervasive.SQL products since 1986. In conjunction with the joint venture, AG-TECH launched a new operating division staffed with specialists experienced in selling and supporting Pervasive.SQL to assume responsibility for OEM sales, packaged software sales, technical support and localization and translation of our products into Japanese. In connection with the new business venture, we obtained a less than 20% ownership interest in AG-TECH and the ability to elect one director to the AG-TECH Board of Directors. We cannot be certain that this venture will be successful which could result in our inability to successfully operate in Japan. We may be unable to maintain or increase Japanese market demand for our products.

We May Face Problems in Connection With Future Acquisitions, Joint Ventures or Licensing Arrangements

In the future, we may acquire additional businesses, products and technologies, or enter into joint venture or licensing arrangements, that could complement, modify or expand our business. Our negotiations of potential acquisitions or joint ventures and our integration of acquired businesses, products or technologies could divert

14

Table of Contents

Index to Financial Statements

management time and resources. Any future acquisitions could require us to issue dilutive equity securities, reduce our cash and marketable securities, incur debt or contingent liabilities, amortize intangibles, or write-off purchased research and development and other acquisition-related expenses. If we are unable to fully integrate acquired businesses, products or technologies with our existing operations, we may not receive the intended benefits of acquisitions. For example, in November 1998 we purchased EveryWare Development Inc. and in July 2000 we announced a restructuring in which we recorded a charge of $17 million for discontinuing operations related to EveryWare Development. In addition, market reactions to acquisitions are difficult to predict and if we do announce any future acquisitions, such market reactions may cause our stock price to fluctuate.

We May Face Problems in Connection With Product Line Expansion

In the future, we may acquire, license or develop additional products. Future product line expansion may require us to modify or expand our business. Further, future product line expansion may require us to reorganize by product line instead of by function and could divert management time and resources. If we are unable to fully integrate multiple products with our existing single-product operations, we may not receive the intended benefits of such product line expansion.

A Small Number of Distributors and Sales Related to Accounting Software Applications Account For a Significant Percentage of Our Revenues

The loss of a major distributor, changes in a distributor’s payment practices, changes in the financial stability of a major distributor or any reduction in orders by such distributor, including reductions due to market or competitive conditions combined with the potential inability to replace the distributor on a timely basis, or any modifications to our pricing or distribution channel strategy could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. Many of our independent software vendors (“ISVs”), value-added resellers and end users place their orders through distributors. A relatively small number of distributors have accounted for a significant percentage of our revenues. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, two distributors combined accounted for an aggregate of approximately 22% of our revenues, as compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, when two distributors accounted for an aggregate of approximately 21% of our revenues. Additionally, we estimate that approximately 20% of our revenues in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 were from sales related to accounting software applications. Furthermore, there is currently consolidation taking place among our ISVs that could narrow the number of customers that sell our products. For example, one of our ISVs, The Sage Group plc, recently announced that it has acquired Timberline Software Corporation, another of our ISVs. In addition, the acquisition of Softline Limited, another of our ISVs, by the Sage Group plc is currently pending. These three ISVs together represented approximately 10% of our revenues in fiscal 2003. Accordingly, if the Sage Group plc completes its acquisition of Softline Limited, our sales to The Sage Group plc could constitute 10% or more of our revenues in the future. As a result, we expect we will continue to depend on a limited number of distributors, certain of our ISV customers and sales related to accounting software applications for a significant portion of our revenues in future periods and the loss of a significant distributor or ISV customer could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. Moreover, we expect that such distributors and sales related to accounting software applications will vary from period to period. Our distributors have not agreed to any minimum order requirements. Although we forecast demand and plan accordingly, if a distributor purchases excess product, we may be obligated to accept the return of some products.

We Depend on Our Indirect Sales Channel

Our failure to continue to grow our indirect sales channel or the loss of a significant number of members of our indirect channel partners would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. We do not have a substantial direct sales force, and we derive substantially all of our revenues

15

Table of Contents

Index to Financial Statements

from indirect sales through a channel consisting of independent software vendors, value-added resellers, system integrators, consultants and distributors. Our sales channel could be adversely affected by a number of factors including:

We cannot be certain we will be able to continue to attract additional indirect channel partners or retain our current partners. In addition, we cannot be certain our competitors will not attempt to recruit certain of our current or future partners. For example, in December 2000, Microsoft (a competitor) acquired Great Plains Software (an OEM that embeds our product into certain of its products and also a channel partner). This may have, and any similar transactions may have, an adverse effect on our ability to attract and retain partners.

We May Not Be Able to Develop Strategic Relationships

Our current collaborative relationships may not prove to be beneficial to us, and they may not be sustained. We may not be able to enter into successful new strategic relationships in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. From time to time, we have collaborated with other companies in areas such as product development, marketing, distribution and implementation. However, many of our current and potential strategic partners are either actual or potential competitors with us. In addition, many of our current relationships are informal or, if written, terminable with little or no notice.

We Depend on Third-Party Technology in Our Products

We rely upon certain software that we license from third parties, including software integrated with our internally developed software and used in our products to perform key functions. These third-party software licenses may not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms. The loss of, or inability to maintain or obtain any of these software licenses, could result in shipment delays or reductions until we develop, identify, license and integrate equivalent software. Any delay in product development or shipment could damage our business, operating results and financial condition.

We May be Unable to Protect Our Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights

Our success depends to a significant degree upon our ability to protect our software and other proprietary technology. We rely primarily on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights. However, these measures afford us only limited protection. Furthermore, we use third party service providers in India for some of our development and the laws of India do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. In addition, we rely in part on “shrink wrap” and “click wrap” licenses that are not signed by the end user and, therefore, may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. Therefore, our efforts to protect our intellectual property may not be adequate. We cannot be certain that others will not develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology or design around the copyrights and trade secrets owned by us. Unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use information we regard as proprietary. Although we

16

Table of Contents

Index to Financial Statements

believe software piracy may be a problem, we are unable to determine the extent to which piracy of our software products occurs. In addition, portions of our source code are developed in foreign countries with laws that do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States.

Although we are not aware that any of our products infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties, we may be subjected to claims of intellectual property infringement by third parties as the number of products and competitors in our industry segment continues to grow and the functionality of products in different industry segments increasingly overlaps. Any infringement claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, divert management attention and resources, cause product shipment delays or the loss or deferral of sales or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. In the event of a successful claim of intellectual property infringement against us, should we fail or be unable to either license the technology or similar technology or develop alternative technology on a timely basis, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

We Must Adapt to Rapid Technological Change

Our future success will depend upon our ability to continue to enhance our current products and to develop and introduce new products on a timely basis that keep pace with technological developments and new industry standards and satisfy increasingly sophisticated customer requirements. Rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions and enhancements, uncertain product life cycles, changes in customer demands and evolving industry standards characterize the market for our products. The introduction of products embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards can render existing products obsolete and unmarketable. As a result of the complexities inherent in client/server and Web computing environments and the performance demanded by customers for data management products, new products and product enhancements can require long development and testing periods. As a result, significant delays in the general availability of such new releases or significant problems in the installation or implementation of such new releases could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. We have experienced delays in the past in the release of new products and new product enhancements. We may not be successful in:

Our Software May Contain Errors or Defects

Errors or defects in our products may result in loss of revenues or delay in market acceptance, and could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. Software products such as ours may contain errors, sometimes called “bugs,” particularly when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. From time to time, we discover software errors in certain of our new products after their introduction. Despite our testing, current versions, new versions or enhancements of our products may still have errors after commencement of commercial shipments. Product errors can put us at a competitive disadvantage and can be costly and time-consuming to correct.

We May Become Subject to Product or Professional Services Liability Claims

A product or professional services liability claim, whether or not successful, could damage our reputation and our business, operating results and financial condition. Our license and service agreements with our customers typically contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential product or service liability

17

Table of Contents

Index to Financial Statements

claims. However, these contract provisions may not preclude all potential claims. Product or professional services liability claims could require us to spend significant time and money in litigation or to pay significant damages.

We Compete with Microsoft while Simultaneously Supporting Microsoft Technologies

We currently compete with Microsoft in the market for data management products while simultaneously maintaining a working relationship with Microsoft. Microsoft has a longer operating history, a larger installed base of customers and substantially greater financial, distribution, marketing and technical resources than Pervasive. As a result, we may not be able to compete effectively with Microsoft now or in the future, and our business, operating results and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

We expect that Microsoft’s commitment to and presence in the data management products market will substantially increase competitive pressures. We believe that Microsoft will continue to incorporate SQL Server database technology into its operating system software and certain of its server software offerings, possibly at no additional cost to its users. We believe that Microsoft will also continue to enhance its SQL Server database technology and that Microsoft will continue to invest in various sales and marketing programs involving certain of our channel partners.

Further, in December 2000, Microsoft acquired Great Plains Software, a channel partner of Pervasive. This, and any similar transactions may have an adverse effect on our ability to compete effectively.

We believe we must maintain a working relationship with Microsoft to achieve success. Many of our customers use Microsoft-based operating platforms. Thus it is critical to our success that our products be closely integrated with Microsoft technologies. Notwithstanding our historical and current support of Microsoft platforms, Microsoft may in the future promote technologies and standards more directly competitive with or not compatible with our technology.

We Face Significant Competition From Other Companies

We encounter competition for our database products primarily from large, public companies, including Microsoft, Oracle, Sybase, IBM and Progress. In particular, Sybase’s small memory footprint database software product, Adaptive Server Anywhere, and Microsoft’s product, SQL Server, directly compete with our products. In addition, because there are relatively low barriers to entry in the software market, we may encounter additional competition from other established or emerging companies providing database products based on existing, new or open-source technologies.

Application service providers (ASPs) may enter our market and could cause a change in revenue models from licensing of client/server and Web-based applications to renting applications. Our competitors may be more successful than we are in adopting these revenue models and capturing related market share.

Most of our competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, significantly greater name recognition and a larger installed base of customers. In addition, some competitors have demonstrated a willingness to, or may willingly in the future, incur substantial losses as a result of deeply discounted product offerings or aggressive marketing campaigns. As a result, our competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of competitive products, than we can. There is also a substantial risk that changes in licensing models or announcements of competing products by competitors such as Microsoft, Oracle, Sybase, IBM, Progress or others could result in the cancellation of customer orders in anticipation of the introduction of such new licensing models or products. In addition, current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase the ability of their products to address customer needs which may limit our ability to sell

18

Table of Contents

Index to Financial Statements

our products through particular partners. Accordingly, new competitors or alliances among, or consolidations of, current and new competitors may emerge and rapidly gain significant market share in our current or anticipated markets. We also expect that competition will increase as a result of software industry consolidation. Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced margins and loss of market share, any of which could materially adversely affect our business. We cannot be certain we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors or that the competitive pressures we face will not materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

We Are Susceptible to a Shift in the Market for Client/Server Applications Toward Web-Based Applications

We have derived substantially all of our historical revenues from the use of our products in client/server applications. We expect to rely on continued market demand for client/server applications indefinitely. However, we believe market demand may be shifting from client/server applications to Web-based applications. If so, this shift would be occurring before our product line has achieved market acceptance for use in Web-based applications. In addition, we cannot be certain that our existing client/server developers will migrate to Web-based applications and continue to use our products or that other developers of Web-based applications would select our data management products. Further, this shift may result in a change in revenue models from licensing of client/server and Web-based applications to renting of applications from application service providers. A decrease in client/server application sales coupled with an inability to derive revenues from the Web-based application market could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We Depend on International Sales and Operations

We anticipate that for the foreseeable future we will derive a significant portion of our revenues from sources outside North America. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, we derived 42% of our revenues outside North America. Our international operations are generally subject to a number of risks. These risks include:

We may expand or modify our operations internationally. Despite our efforts, we may not be able to expand or modify our operations internationally in a timely and cost-effective manner. Such an outcome would limit or eliminate any sales growth internationally, which in turn would materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. Even if we successfully expand or modify our international operations, we may be unable to maintain or increase international market demand for our products.

19

Table of Contents

Index to Financial Statements

We expect our international operations will continue to place financial and administrative demands on us, including operational complexity associated with international facilities, administrative burdens associated with managing relationships with foreign partners, and treasury functions to manage foreign currency risks and collections.

We Use Third Party Service Providers in India and if We Are Unable to Use Such Providers Our Business Could Be Temporarily Adversely Affected

We are actively supplementing the capabilities of our organization by contracting with third party service providers located in India. As other software companies have done and are continuing to do, we may continue to allocate more development and IT resources to Indian third parties with the expectation of achieving significant efficiencies, including reducing operational costs and permitting an around-the-clock development cycle. To date, the dispute between India and Pakistan involving the Kashmir region and the incidents of terrorism in India have not adversely affected our operations in India. Should we be unable to conduct operations in India in the future, we believe that our business could be temporarily adversely affected.

Fluctuations in the Relative Value of Foreign Currencies Can Affect Our Business

To date, the majority of our transactions have been denominated in U.S. dollars. The majority of our international operating expenses and substantially all of our sales in Japan have been denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Therefore, our operating results may be adversely affected by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar. Certain of our international sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, especially in Europe. Any strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the currencies of countries where we sell products denominated in U.S. dollars will increase the relative cost of our products and could negatively impact our sales in those countries. To the extent our international operations expand or are modified, our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations may increase. We have, on occasion, entered into limited hedging transactions to mitigate our exposure to currency fluctuations. Despite these hedging transactions, exchange rate fluctuations have caused, and will continue to cause, currency transaction gains and losses. Although these transactions have not resulted in material gains and losses to date, similar transactions could have a damaging effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition in future periods.

We Must Continue to Hire and Retain Skilled Personnel

Our success depends in large part on our ability to attract, motivate and retain highly skilled employees on a timely basis, particularly executive management, sales and marketing personnel, software engineers and other senior personnel. Our efforts to attract and retain highly skilled employees could be harmed by our past or any future workforce reductions. Our failure to attract and retain the highly trained technical personnel who are essential to our product development, marketing, service and support teams may limit the rate at which we can generate revenue and develop new products or product enhancements. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We Have Anti-Takeover Provisions

Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain certain provisions that may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control or unsolicited acquisition proposals that a stockholder might consider favorable. It includes provisions to authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock; establish advance notice requirements for stockholder nominations for elections to the Board of Directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon at stockholders’ meetings; eliminate the ability of stockholders to act by written consent; require super-majority voting to approve certain amendments to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation; limit the persons who may call special meetings of stockholders; and provide for a Board of Directors with staggered, three-year terms. In addition, certain provisions of Delaware law and 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1997 Plan”) may also have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control or unsolicited acquisition proposals.

20

Table of Contents

Index to Financial Statements

Further, in October 2000, our Board of Directors approved the adoption of a shareholder rights plan whereby one preferred share purchase right was distributed for each outstanding share of our common stock. The rights are designed to assure that all of our stockholders receive fair and equal treatment in the event of any proposed takeover and to guard against partial tender offers, open market accumulations and other tactics designed to gain control without paying all stockholders a fair price. The rights were not being distributed in response to any specific effort to acquire us.

The rights become exercisable if a person or group hereafter acquires 15% or more of our common stock or announces a tender offer for 15% or more of our common stock. Such events, or if we are acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction after a person acquires 15% or more of our common stock, would entitle the right holder to purchase, at an exercise price of $18.00, a number of shares of common stock having a market value at that time of twice the right’s exercise price. Rights held by the acquiring person would become void. The Board of Directors can choose to redeem the rights at one cent per right at any time before an acquiring person hereafter acquires 15% or more of the outstanding common stock. The Rights Plan may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control or unsolicited acquisition proposals.

We May Elect to Raise Additional Capital Which Might Not Be Available or Which, if Available, May Be on Terms That Are Not Favorable to Us

We may elect to raise additional funds, and we cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, if at all. If we issue equity securities, the ownership percentage of our stockholders would be reduced, and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If we borrow money, we may incur significant interest charges, which could harm our profitability. Holders of debt would also have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to develop or enhance our products, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, which could seriously harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

The Price of Our Stock Has Been Volatile and Could Continue to Fluctuate Substantially

Our common stock is traded in the NASDAQ National Market. The market price of our common stock has been volatile and could fluctuate substantially based on a variety of factors outside of our control, in addition to our financial performance. Furthermore, stock prices for many companies, including our own, fluctuate widely for reasons that may be unrelated to operating results.

Overview

Pervasive Software is a leading worldwide provider of embedded data management solutions and services to support the development, deployment and management of mission-critical business applications. Our high-performance, flexible database, Pervasive.SQL^™, is widely installed with more than 5.4 million server seats licensed to date. Pervasive.SQL offers advanced data management technology combined with a very low total cost of ownership (TCO), resulting in an average 7-to-1 improvement over another competitor’s database, according to a June 2003 Aberdeen Group study. Our sophisticated database replication technology, Pervasive DataExchange, offers targeted solutions to data movement and synchronization problems like maintaining an offsite warm backup, driving transactional data into a data portal, and connecting remote databases. With Pervasive.SQL and Pervasive DataExchange, independent software vendors (ISVs) can create sophisticated yet low-maintenance business applications that reach far beyond the desktop to easily share information from workstations to the Web. In addition, we recently extended our product line with our data security product, Pervasive AuditMaster. Pervasive AuditMaster provides a new level of security for business applications by monitoring and reporting all activity occurring in a Pervasive.SQL database, leveraging deep-level capture, report and alert technology to enable meticulous monitoring of mission critical data without the high costs of application redevelopment and deployment, training, or on-going maintenance. Our software products are designed for integration by ISVs into client/server, Web and mobile applications, sold to small to mid-size enterprises (SMEs), which typically have environments with little to no information technology (IT) infrastructure and require self-tuning, low-administration products. As a result, end-users can concentrate on running their businesses instead of managing the data management solutions underlying their applications, which is particularly critical to this large market.

We derive our revenues primarily from shrink-wrap licenses through ISVs, value-added resellers (VARs) and distributors and through original equipment manufacturer (OEM) license agreements with ISVs. Shrink-wrap license fees are variable and based generally on user count. Our OEM licensing program offers ISVs volume discounts and specialized technical support, training and consulting in exchange for embedding our products in software applications and paying us a royalty based on sales of their applications. Additionally, we generate revenues from version upgrades, user count upgrades, upgrades to new or additional platforms, and from upgrades to client/server or Web environments from single user workstation or workgroup environments.

Historically, we have derived substantially all of our revenues from our Pervasive.SQL data management products. The latest release of Pervasive.SQL, V8, was released in December 2002. Our future operating results will depend upon continued market acceptance of Pervasive.SQL. Any decrease in demand or market acceptance for our Pervasive.SQL product would have a damaging effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

In July 2000, we announced a restructuring to focus on our core database management business, including the discontinuation of our Tango product line. In June 2001, we completed the sale of the Tango technology. We recorded Tango as a discontinued operation in the accompanying financial statements; therefore, the following discussion and analysis refer only to continuing operations.

As part of the July 2000 restructuring, we reduced our workforce by approximately 100 employees, or approximately 28% of our worldwide workforce. The majority of the reductions occurred in our Toronto office and our Austin headquarters. The workforce reduction was primarily related to the discontinuance of our Tango

product line; however, we also reduced a portion of our Pervasive.SQL related workforce, mostly in our Pervasive.SQL development organization.

In June 2001, we reduced our workforce by approximately 40 employees, or approximately 20% of our worldwide workforce, to further improve profitability and as a precautionary measure in light of the continued uncertain economic environment. The reduction resulted in a non-recurring charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001 of $2.5 million, including a charge for the workforce reduction and related charges for idle leased facilities and certain intangible assets.

In July 2001, we formed a new business venture with AG-TECH Corporation, a company developing, selling and importing packaged software, to sell and support our products in Japan. AG-TECH has been engaged in the sales and support of Btrieve (predecessor to Pervasive.SQL) and Pervasive.SQL products since 1986. In conjunction with the joint venture, AG-TECH launched a new operating division staffed with specialists experienced in selling and supporting Pervasive.SQL to assume responsibility for OEM sales, packaged software sales, technical support and localization and translation of our products into Japanese. The new business venture has resulted in improved profitability on sales in Japan as the arrangement allowed us to significantly reduce our costs in Japan. In connection with the new business venture, we obtained a less than 20% ownership interest in AG-TECH and the ability to elect one director to the AG-TECH Board of Directors. Pervasive’s revenues from Japan were $6.9 million, $4.5 million and $5.3 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. 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. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following represent our critical accounting policies:

Revenue Recognition—We license our software through OEM license agreements with software developers, or ISVs, and through shrink-wrap software licenses, sold through ISVs, value-added resellers, or VARs, systems integrators and distributors. Revenues are generally recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, no significant Company obligations with regard to implementation remain, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. Revenues related to OEM license agreements involving nonrefundable fixed minimum license fees are generally recognized upon delivery of the product master or first copy if no significant vendor obligations remain. Per copy royalties related to OEM license agreements in excess of a fixed minimum amount are recognized as revenue when such amounts are reported to us. We generally provide telephone support to customers and end users in the 30 days immediately following the sale at no additional charge and at a minimal cost per call. We accrue the cost of providing this support. Revenue from training is recognized when the related services are performed. We enter into agreements with certain distributors that provide for certain stock rotation and price protection rights. These rights allow the distributor to return products in a non-cash exchange for other products or for credits against future purchases. Revenue from shipping and handling is recognized at the shipping date. Shipping and handling costs are included in Costs of revenue and technical support in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Sales Returns and Bad Debt Reserves—We reserve for the cost of estimated sales returns, stock rotation and price protection rights as well as uncollectible accounts based on experience.

Subsequent Event

On August 8, 2003, we announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire privately held Data Junction Corporation, a pioneering data and application integration company based in Austin, Texas, for up to $22.1 million in cash and 5 million shares of our common stock. The agreement has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of Pervasive and Data Junction and is subject to the approval of the shareholders of both companies. The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth calendar quarter of 2003. We filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 on September 23, 2003 to register the shares of our common stock to be issued to the Data Junction shareholders in connection with the merger. The Registration Statement contains detailed descriptions of the merger, the merger agreement, Data Junction and its products, and the risk factors associated with the merger and the combined company.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth for the periods indicated the percentage of revenues represented by certain lines in our consolidated statements of operations.

Revenues

We generated revenues from continuing operations of $42.2 million, $37.2 million and $39.2 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively, which represents a decrease of 12% from fiscal 2001 to 2002, and an increase of 5% from fiscal 2002 to 2003. The decrease in revenues from continuing operations in fiscal year 2002 can be attributed to competitive pressures and what we believe to have been a

general softening in the packaged client/server applications market, contributing to decreased orders for our Pervasive.SQL products embedded in these applications, as well as a change in the discount structure in Japan following the formation of our new business venture in July 2001. We believe each of the above factors could continue to negatively affect license revenues for Pervasive.SQL in the future. The increase in revenue from continuing operations in fiscal year 2003 can be attributed to upgrades to our latest release of Pervasive.SQL, V8, released in December 2002, and improved sales and marketing execution following management changes made at the beginning of fiscal 2003.

Licenses of our software operating on Windows NT or other Microsoft operating systems continue to represent approximately 80% to 90% of our revenues. We expect that the percentages of our revenues attributable to licenses of our software operating on particular platforms will continue to change from time to time. We cannot be certain that our revenues attributable to licenses of our software operating on Windows NT, or any other operating system platform, will grow in the future.

International revenues, consisting of all revenues from continuing operations from customers located outside of North America, were $18.1 million, $14.9 million and $16.3 million in fiscal 2001, 2002 and 2003, representing 45%, 40% and 42% of total revenues, respectively. We attribute the decrease in international revenue in fiscal year 2002 to competitive pressures and what we believe to have been a general softening in the packaged client/server applications market, contributing to decreased orders for our Pervasive.SQL products embedded in these applications. The decrease in fiscal year 2002 can also be attributed to a change in the discount structure in Japan following the formation of our new business venture in July 2001. We believe each of the above factors could continue to negatively affect international license revenues for Pervasive.SQL in the future. We attribute the increase in international revenue in fiscal year 2003 to improved sales and marketing execution following management changes made at the beginning of fiscal year 2003. We expect that international revenues will continue to account for a significant portion of our revenues in the future.

Costs and Expenses

Cost of Revenues and Technical Support.    Cost of revenues and technical support consists primarily of the cost to manufacture and fulfill orders for our shrink-wrap software products, the cost to provide technical support, primarily telephone support which is typically provided within 30 days of purchase, and license fees for third-party technologies embedded in our products. Cost of revenues and technical support for continuing operations was $9.7 million, $6.6 million and $5.9 million in fiscal 2001, 2002 and 2003, representing 23%, 18%, and 15% of revenues from continuing operations, respectively. Cost of revenues and technical support decreased in dollar amount and as a percentage of revenue in fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001 primarily as a result of a reduction in costs associated with technical support and training personnel following our reduction in force in June 2001 and the formation of our new business venture in Japan, as well as reduced license fees for third-party technology embedded in or bundled with our product. Cost of revenues and technical support decreased in dollar amount and as a percentage of revenue in fiscal 2003 as compared to fiscal 2002 primarily as a result of a reduction in cost associated with consulting personnel. We anticipate that cost of revenues and technical support will be consistent in dollar amount in the near term, primarily as a result of the continued effect of the reduction in costs associated with technical support and training personnel following our reduction in force in June 2001, the formation of our new business venture in Japan in July 2001, reduced license fees for third-party technology in 2002, and a reduction in cost associated with consulting personnel in 2003.

Sales and Marketing.    Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions and bonuses earned by sales and marketing personnel, foreign sales office expenses, travel and entertainment, marketing programs and promotional expenses. Sales and marketing expenses related to continuing operations were $18.4 million, $12.3 million and $13.7 million in fiscal 2001, 2002 and 2003, representing 44%, 33% and 35% of revenues from continuing operations, respectively. Sales and marketing expenses decreased in dollar amount and as a percentage of revenue in fiscal 2002 primarily due to reduced costs associated with sales and marketing personnel following our reduction in force in June 2001 and the formation of our new business venture

in Japan in July 2001. Sales and marketing expenses increased in dollar amount and as a percentage of revenue in fiscal 2003 primarily due to increased costs associated with sales and marketing personnel and costs associated with marketing programs and promotional expenses related to the launch of the latest release of Pervasive.SQL, V8, during the second quarter of fiscal 2003. We expect sales and marketing expenses will increase in dollar amount in the near term, primarily as a result of the timing and extent of product market development activities and costs associated with new product releases, marketing promotions, brand awareness campaigns and partner programs.

Research and Development.    Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and related costs. Research and development expenses related to continuing operations were $10.5 million, $7.1 million and $8.0 million in fiscal 2001, 2002 and 2003, representing 25%, 19% and 21% of revenues from continuing operations, respectively. Research and development costs decreased in dollar amount and as a percentage of revenue in fiscal 2002 primarily due to reduced costs associated with research and development personnel following our reduction in force in June 2001 and the formation of our new business venture in Japan in July 2001. Research and development costs increased in dollar amount and as a percentage of revenue in fiscal 2003 primarily due to increased costs associated with research and development personnel and outsourced development contracts. We anticipate that research and development expenses will be consistent in dollar amount in the near term as a result of the continued effect of the increase in costs associated with research and development personnel and outsourced development contracts.

General and Administrative.    General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel salaries and other costs of our finance, human resources and administrative departments. General and administrative expenses related to continuing operations were $6.0 million, $5.4 million and $4.9 million in fiscal 2001, 2002 and 2003, representing 14%, 14% and 12% of revenues from continuing operations, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2002 relates primarily to reduced costs associated with general and administrative personnel following our reduction in force in June 2001 and the formation of our new business venture in Japan in July 2001. General and administrative expenses decreased in dollar amount and as a percentage of revenue in fiscal 2003 primarily due to reductions in general and administrative personnel, bad debt expense and fees paid to professional service providers. We believe our general and administrative expenses will decrease in dollar amount in the near term as a result of reduced costs associated with general and administrative personnel and fees paid to professional service providers.

Business Restructuring Charge.    Business restructuring charges in fiscal 2001 consist of charges related to our reduction in workforce in June 2001 and related charges for idle leased facilities and certain intangible assets. We incurred a non-recurring charge of approximately $2.5 million in fiscal 2001, representing 6% of revenues from continuing operations. The business restructuring was initiated to further improve profitability and as a precautionary measure in light of the continued uncertain economic environment.

Provision for Income Taxes.    Provision for income taxes related to continuing operations was approximately $0.5 million, $0.6 million and $0.6 million in fiscal 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. We recorded a tax provision for fiscal 2001 related to taxes on our foreign operations, despite our consolidated operating loss for the year. We recorded a tax provision for fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2003 related to taxes on our foreign operations, despite the availability of substantial domestic net operating loss carryforwards.

Based on a number of factors, we believe it is more likely than not, that a substantial amount of our deferred tax assets may not be realized. These factors include:

31

Accordingly, we have recorded a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset due to uncertainties regarding the realization of deferred tax assets based on the lack of substantial earnings history. We expect to continue to incur foreign taxes associated with our international operations while our domestic income taxes will remain minimal as we utilize substantial net operating losses carried forward from previous years. See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our provision for income taxes.

Effect of Adoption of New Accounting Principle.    We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective July 1, 2001. Statement 142 discontinues the amortization of goodwill and requires future periodic testing of goodwill for impairment. In addition, Statement 142 requires reassessment of the useful lives of previously recognized intangible assets. With the adoption of Statement 142, we ceased amortization of goodwill as of July 1, 2001. The adoption will result in a decrease in operating expense related to goodwill amortization of approximately $104,000 per year. Additionally, we completed a goodwill impairment test as allowed by Statement 142 during the first quarter of fiscal 2002, resulting in an impairment charge of approximately $676,000, which is recorded as a cumulative change in accounting principle.

Gain from Discontinued Operations.    Gain from discontinued operations in fiscal 2001 was $1.7 million and is the result of the sale of the Tango technology in June 2001, as well as a reduction in the estimated future liabilities of the discontinued Tango operations. Gain from discontinued operations in fiscal 2003 was $0.2 million and is the result of a reduction in the future liabilities of the discontinued Tango operations following the partial termination of an office lease on favorable economic terms.

Quarterly Results from Operations

The following table sets forth selected unaudited quarterly information for our last eight fiscal quarters. This information has been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Report, and we believe all necessary adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) have been included in the amounts stated below. We also believe this information presents fairly the results of such periods when read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes.
