PART I

 

Although we refer in this report on Form 10-K (“Report”) to companies in which we have acquired a convertible debt or an equity ownership interest as our “partner companies” and indicate that we have a “partnership” with these companies, we do not act as an agent or legal representative for any of our partner companies, we do not have the power or authority to legally bind any of our partner companies, and we do not have the types of liabilities in relation to our partner companies that a general partner of a partnership would have.

 

ITEM 1. Business

 

Business Overview

 

Internet Capital Group, Inc. (“ICG” or the “Company”) is an information technology company actively engaged in delivering software solutions and services that are designed to enhance business operations by increasing efficiency, reducing costs and improving sales results. ICG operates through a network of partner companies that deliver those solutions to customers. To help drive partner company progress, ICG provides operational assistance, capital support, industry expertise, access to operational best practices, and a strategic network of business relationships. ICG was formed on March 4, 1996 and is headquartered in Wayne, Pennsylvania.

 

In the information technology industry, certain terms are often used to describe the nature of a company’s business, including the following terms: internet company, business to business e-commerce, software company, outsourcing, procurement services, supply chain and customer relationship management. These terms apply, in varying degrees, to most of our partner companies. Our partner companies also typically provide customers with systems integration consulting services or stand alone services. For convenience throughout this Report, we generally refer to our partner companies’ businesses as software and services.

 

The current market environment creates a substantial opportunity for providers of software and services that improve sales results, reduce costs and increase efficiencies by streamlining business processes both within an enterprise and across the value chain. An increasing number of large enterprises are focusing on their core competencies to drive differentiation and competitive advantage for their firms. This means that these enterprises are looking for ways to outsource non-core or non-strategic processes that cost time and money and distract them from their top priorities of achieving profitability, growing market share and delivering new products or services. Our partner companies deliver software and services to help businesses focus on their core competencies. As of December 31, 2003, our partner company network is made up of 30 companies in which we own interests.

 

With a sharp focus on those companies that we believe have the greatest potential to generate value for ICG stockholders (our “Core” companies), our operating strategy is to build and develop our partner companies by providing them with both human and financial resources. This support leverages the collective knowledge and best practices both within ICG and across our network of partner companies. We use these collective resources to actively support the business strategies, operations and management teams of our partner companies. Our resources include the experience, industry relationships and specific expertise of our management team, our partner companies’ management teams, our Board of Directors and our Advisory Board.

 

ICG is a successor to a business originally founded as a Delaware limited liability company under the name Internet Capital Group, L.L.C. As a limited liability company, Internet Capital Group, L.L.C. was treated for income tax purposes as a partnership with taxes on the income generated by Internet Capital Group, L.L.C. paid by its members. Internet Capital Group, L.L.C. merged into Internet Capital Group, Inc. on February 2, 1999 with Internet Capital Group, Inc. surviving (the “Reorganization.”) As required by its limited liability company agreement to satisfy the members’ tax liabilities, Internet Capital Group, L.L.C. declared a $10.7 million distribution to its members. Internet Capital Group, Inc. has assumed all liabilities of Internet Capital Group, L.L.C. including the distribution to members of Internet Capital Group, L.L.C. Also as part of the Reorganization, Internet Capital Group, Inc. issued 164,011,098 shares of common stock to the members of Internet Capital Group, L.L.C. The separate existence of Internet Capital Group, L.L.C. ceased in connection with the Reorganization.

Industry Overview

 

The internet’s growth creates substantial market opportunities for companies that provide software and services to help traditional businesses increase efficiency and cost savings by leveraging the internet and other technologies. Historically, e-commerce has occurred through electronic data interchange over proprietary networks, which are costly and available only to a limited number of participants. The internet provides an open platform with common communication protocols to build efficient, cost-effective networks that facilitate e-commerce.

 

During 2002 and 2003, the e-commerce market continued a period of development and growth as enterprises of all sizes and across all industries looked for vehicles to help them:

 

Increase efficiency and reduce cost;

 

Focus on core competencies and outsource non-core, non-strategic processes; and

 

Expand access to new and existing customers and suppliers.

 

Increase efficiency and reduce cost

 

Traditional businesses are utilizing the internet to automate their internal operations, including manufacturing, finance, sales and purchasing functions. The internet is also used to increase information flow and access throughout the value chain. This increases operational efficiency by reducing the time, costs and resources required to transact business, lowering inventory levels and procurement costs and improving responsiveness to customers and suppliers. Recently, challenging market conditions only served to increase the need for companies to reduce bottom line costs and increase operational efficiencies to support growth.

 

Focus on core competencies and outsource non-core, non-strategic processes

 

There are an increasing number of large enterprises focusing on their core competencies to drive differentiation and competitive advantage for their firms. This means that they are looking for ways to outsource non-core, or non-strategic, processes that cost time and money, and more importantly distract them from their top priorities, which are to grow market share and deliver new products or services.

 

Expand access to new and existing customers and suppliers

 

Traditional businesses have relied on their sales forces and purchasing departments to develop and maintain customer and supplier relationships. This model is constrained by the time and cost required to exchange current information regarding requirements, prices and product availability, and the difficulty of cost-effectively locating new customers and suppliers and managing existing relationships. Traditional businesses can leverage the internet to obtain and communicate real-time, accurate information regarding requirements, prices and products to a global audience, including suppliers, customers and business partners. This should make it easier for businesses to attract new customers and suppliers, improve service and increase revenue.

 

We believe that the benefits of e-commerce are broad and will be realized by businesses in times of economic growth or contraction, because e-commerce can be used to build top line revenues in times of growth and new levels of efficiency in times of contraction.

 

Our Solution and Strategy

 

Our goal is to become a leader in information technology by owning significant stakes in leading companies that deliver the savings and efficiency of the internet to businesses of all sizes across all industries.

 

With a sharp focus on those companies that we believe offer the greatest potential to generate value for ICG stockholders, our operating strategy is to build and develop our partner companies by providing them with both human and financial resources. This support leverages the collective knowledge and best practices both within ICG and across our network of partner companies. We use these collective resources to actively support the business strategies, operations and management teams of our partner companies. Our resources include the experience, industry relationships and specific expertise of our management team, our partner companies’ management teams, our Board of Directors and our Advisory Board.

Although ICG’s mission of building leading companies has remained constant since its inception, the Company’s focus and operational tenets have evolved with the growth of the e-commerce market and in response to changes within the overall business environment. This evolution included:

 

Identifying key markets and owning stakes in potential leaders in e-commerce;

 

Aggregating companies into a network to share knowledge and promote growth; and

 

Prioritizing resources to accelerate development of those partner companies that we believe are the most likely to create value for our stockholders.

 

Identifying key markets and owning stakes in potential leaders

 

Our expertise in the e-commerce market has allowed us to identify companies that we believe are positioned to succeed. In building our partner company network, we applied an analysis that capitalized on this competitive advantage. We were very active in acquiring new companies during 1999 and 2000, bringing the network composition to an all-time high of 80 companies by late 2000. In evaluating whether to enter a market or acquire a stake in a specific company, we weighed each opportunity in terms of several industry and company factors. With regards to industry criteria, we evaluated the inefficiencies within each market, its competitive landscape and the potential each market had in terms of the number and dollar value of transactions it would be able to support. In measuring the potential of each partner company, we looked at market position and share, our ability to own a significant stake and the company’s potential to contribute to the network’s value in terms of operational resources and the quality of its management team.

 

After we identified an attractive potential partner company, we negotiated the acquisition of a significant interest in the company. As a condition to an acquisition, we generally required representation on the company’s board of directors to ensure our ability to provide active guidance to the partner company. We structured acquisitions to permit the partner company’s management and key personnel to retain an equity stake in the company. During our negotiations with potential partner companies we emphasized the value of our network and resources, which we believe gave us a competitive advantage over other acquirers in successfully consummating transactions.

 

In late 2000, we reallocated our capital resources as described below to focus on those partner companies that we believed presented the greatest potential for ICG stockholders. Due to this increased focus on certain existing partner companies, we decreased our focus on new acquisitions. Accordingly, our strategy since late 2000 has been to acquire interests in new partner companies only when we believe the strategic value of such companies was extremely compelling.

 

After acquiring interests in partner companies, we selectively continue to participate in their follow-on financings and selectively increase our ownership positions.

 

Aggregating companies into a network to promote growth

 

During 1999 and 2000 we acquired interests in numerous partner companies, and as we made those acquisitions, we immediately took an active role in the partner companies by providing both strategic guidance and operational support:

 

Strategic Guidance. We provide strategic guidance to our partner companies regarding market positioning, business model development and market trends. Our focus on the e-commerce market and the knowledge base of our partner companies, strategic investors, management and advisory board give us valuable experience that we share with our partner companies.

 

Operational Support. We provide operational support to our partner companies in the areas of finance, sales and marketing, business development and human resources. The majority of our partner companies have an assigned operations and finance team. This team advises our partner companies’ management on day-to-day management and operational issues.

 

Exchange of Best Practices and Economies of Scale. One of the principal goals of our network is to promote best practices and economies of scale among our partner companies. We promote and facilitate the information flow among our partner companies and as they follow similar business cycles and challenges, key learnings are leveraged to increase operational efficiencies, accelerate decision-making and promote growth. Importantly, the challenging economic environment has had a significant effect

 

6


on most of our partner companies. The benefits of a network effect has enabled many of these companies to leverage strategies implemented by some companies to cut costs and evolve business models to quickly respond to common challenges.

 

Prioritize resources to accelerate development of most promising companies

 

Although we do and will continue to concentrate on providing the operational and strategic support to promote growth and profitability at our partner companies, the market volatility that began in early 2000 necessitated a prioritization of both our human and capital resources toward partner companies believed to have the greatest potential to generate value for our stockholders. Based on our active involvement in the e-commerce market since 1996, we believe that our expertise allows us to identify companies that are positioned to succeed. This enables the prioritization of our resources to accelerate the development of partner companies which we believe offer the greatest value for our stockholders over the long-term. We believe this prioritization and focus will result in the continued streamlining of our partner company network into a smaller but stronger group of companies. We intend to continue to focus on our private partner companies that we believe have the greatest value potential, which we refer to as our private Core partner companies. We believe these companies are gaining traction in delivering the software and services that we believe have the potential to dramatically increase efficiency and savings for businesses. However, this categorization does not necessarily imply that every one of our private Core partner companies is a de facto success at this time. Rather, it captures those companies that are receiving the majority of management’s time and resources as we consider them our most promising.

 

At December 31, 2003 our private Core partner companies consisted of:

 

Blackboard, CommerceQuest, CreditTrade, eCredit, Freeborders, GoIndustry, ICG Commerce, Investor Force, iSky, LinkShare, Marketron, StarCite and Syncra Systems.

 

These private Core partner companies primarily deliver a wide array of software and services to help customers streamline and automate business processes with the goal of reducing costs and increasing efficiencies both within the four walls of the enterprise and across their individual value chains.

 

At December 31, 2003, our public Core partner companies consisted of: eMerge Interactive, Universal Access and Verticalnet. During the first quarter of 2004, we sold a majority of our ownership interest in eMerge Interactive.

 

We believe that additional partner companies may be included in this category in the future and that, conversely, certain partner companies may be removed from this category in the future.

 

Government Regulations and Legal Uncertainties

 

Government regulation of the internet and e-commerce is evolving and unfavorable changes could harm our partner companies’ business. Our partner companies are subject to general business regulations and laws, as well as regulations and laws specifically governing the internet and e-commerce. Such existing and future laws and regulations may impede the growth of the internet or other online services. These regulations and laws may cover taxation, user privacy, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, electronic contracts, consumer protection, the provision of online payment services, broadband residential internet access and the characteristics and quality of products and services. It is not clear how existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, sales and other taxes, libel and personal privacy apply to the internet and e-commerce. Unfavorable resolution of these issues may harm our partner companies’ business.

 

Proprietary Rights

 

Our partner companies have copyrights with respect to software applications, websites and other materials. These materials may constitute an important part of our partner companies’ assets and competitive strengths. Federal law generally protects such copyrights for 90 years from the creation of the underlying material.

Concentration of Customer Base and Credit Risk

 

Approximately 17%, 13% and 11% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, relates to one customer of one of our consolidated partner companies. Accounts receivable from this customer as of December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 were not significant. During 2003, this customer notified such consolidated partner company of the exercise of its right to terminate its arrangement to purchase services from such consolidated partner company effective January 1, 2004.

 

Competition

 

Competition Facing our Partner Companies

 

Competition for information technology and internet products and services is intense. As the market for e-commerce grows, we expect that competition will continue to intensify. Barriers to entry are minimal and competitors can offer products and services at a relatively low cost. Our partner companies compete for a share of a customer’s:

 

  purchasing budget for technology solutions, services, materials and supplies with other similar providers and traditional distribution channels; and

 

  dollars spent on consulting services with many established information systems and management consulting firms.

 

In addition, some of our partner companies compete to attract and retain a critical mass of buyers and sellers. Several companies offer competitive solutions that compete with one or more of our partner companies. We expect that additional companies will offer competing solutions on a stand-alone or combined basis in the future. Furthermore, our partner companies’ competitors may develop information technology and internet products or services that are superior to, or have greater market acceptance than, the solutions offered by our partner companies. Many of our partner companies’ competitors have greater brand recognition and greater financial, marketing and other resources than our partner companies. This may place our partner companies at a disadvantage in responding to their competitors’ pricing strategies, technological advances, advertising campaigns, strategic partnerships and other initiatives.

 

If our partner companies are unable to compete successfully against their competitors, our partner companies may fail.

 

Competition From Within our Network

 

We may compete with some of our partner companies for internet-related opportunities. We may compete with our partner companies to acquire interests in e-commerce companies and our partner companies may compete with each other for e-commerce opportunities. This competition may deter companies from partnering with us and may limit our business opportunities.

 

Employees

 

We have reduced our corporate headcount from 23, as of March 14, 2003, to 16, as of March 9, 2004, in order to reduce our corporate expenses. Headcount at our consolidated partner companies as of March 9, 2004 is 402. Although we believe our and our consolidated partner companies current staffing levels are adequate to conduct business, we cannot ensure that we and our consolidated partner companies will not need to increase headcount in the future.

ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings

 

In May and June 2001, certain of the Company’s present directors, along with the Company, certain of its former directors, certain of its present and former officers and its underwriters, were named as defendants in nine class action complaints filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs and the alleged classes they seek to represent include present and former stockholders of the Company. The complaints generally allege violations of Sections 11 and 12 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, based on, among other things, the dissemination of statements allegedly containing material misstatements and/or omissions concerning the commissions received by the underwriters of the initial public offering and follow-on public offering of the Company as well as failure to disclose the existence of purported agreements by the underwriters with some of the purchasers in these offerings to buy additional shares of the Company’s stock subsequently in the open market at pre-determined prices above the initial offering prices. The plaintiffs seek for themselves and the alleged class members an award of damages and litigation costs and expenses. The claims in these cases have been consolidated for pre-trial purposes (together with other issuers and underwriters) before one judge in the Southern District of New York federal court. In April 2002, a consolidated, amended complaint was filed against these defendants which generally alleges the same violations and also refers to alleged misstatements or omissions that relate to the recommendations regarding the Company’s stock by analysts employed by the underwriters. In June and July 2002, defendants, including the Company defendants, filed motions to dismiss plaintiffs’ complaints on numerous grounds. The Company’s motion was denied in its entirety in an opinion dated February 19, 2003. In July 2003, a committee of the Company’s Board of Directors conditionally approved a proposed partial settlement with the plaintiffs in this matter. The settlement would provide for, among other things, a release of the Company and of the individual defendants (who had been previously dismissed without prejudice) for the wrongful conduct alleged in the amended complaint. The Company would agree to undertake other responsibilities under the partial settlement, including agreeing to assign away, not assert, or release certain potential claims the Company may have against its underwriters. Any direct financial impact of the proposed settlement is expected to be borne by the Company’s insurers. The committee agreed to approve the settlement subject to a number of conditions, including the participation of a substantial number of other issuer defendants in the proposed settlement, the consent of the Company’s insurers to the settlement, and the completion of acceptable final settlement documentation. Furthermore, the settlement is subject to a hearing on fairness and approval by the United States District Court overseeing the litigation.

 

On December 20, 2002, the Company was named as a defendant in an action filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maine. The plaintiffs include former stockholders of Animated Images, Inc. (“Animated Images”), one of the Company’s former partner companies. In addition to the Company, the defendants include Freeborders, a current partner company, and four individual defendants, including former officers of the Company and former Animated Images and Freeborders directors. The

 

9


complaint generally alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 5(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, fraud, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and civil conspiracy, among other claims, in connection with the merger of Animated Images into Freeborders. In support of these claims, the plaintiffs allege, among other things, that the defendants misrepresented the value of the stock of Freeborders, resulting in plaintiffs’ having received less consideration in the merger than that to which they believe they were entitled. The litigation currently is in its preliminary stage. The Court granted defendants’ motion to stay the litigation pending arbitration of plaintiffs’ claims against defendants other than the Company.

ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth elsewhere in this Report and the risks discussed in our other SEC filings. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto included in Item 8 in this Report.

 

Although we refer in this Report to companies in which we have acquired a convertible debt or an equity ownership interest as our “partner companies” and indicate that we have a “partnership” with these companies, we do not act as an agent or legal representative for any of our partner companies, we do not have the power or authority to legally bind any of our partner companies, and we do not have the types of liabilities in relation to our partner companies that a general partner of a partnership would have.

 

Because we own significant interests in information technology and e-commerce companies, many of which have generated net losses, we have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, significant volatility in our quarterly results. While many of our partner companies have consistently reported losses, we have recorded net income in certain periods and experienced significant volatility from period to period due to one-time or infrequently occurring transactions and other events relating to our ownership interests in partner companies. These transactions and events are described in more detail in Note 3 and Note 19 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and include dispositions of, and changes to, our partner company ownership interests, dispositions of our holdings of available-for-sale securities and debt extinguishments.

 

Introduction

 

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the consolidated accounts of Internet Capital Group, Inc., a company incorporated in Delaware, and its subsidiaries, both wholly and majority-owned (Internet Capital Group, Inc. and all its subsidiaries, hereafter “we,” “ICG,” the “Company” or “Internet Capital Group”) and have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”).

 

Internet Capital Group is an information technology company actively engaged in delivering software solutions and services that are designed to enhance business operations by increasing efficiency, reducing costs and improving sales results. The Company operates through a network of partner companies that deliver those solutions to customers. The various interests that we acquire in our partner companies are accounted for under one of three accounting methods: consolidation, equity method or cost method. The applicable accounting method is generally determined based on our voting interest in a partner company. Generally, if we own more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of a partner company, a partner company’s accounts are reflected within our consolidated financial statements. If we own between 20% and 50% of the outstanding securities, a partner company’s accounts are not reflected within our consolidated financial statements; however, our share of the earnings or losses of the partner company is reflected in the caption “Equity loss” in our consolidated statements of operations. Partner companies not accounted for under either the consolidation or the equity method of accounting are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Under this method, our share of the earnings or losses of these companies is not included in our consolidated statements of operations.

 

Information for all periods presented below reflects the grouping of ICG partner companies into two segments, consisting of the Core segment and the Emerging segment. The Core operating segment includes those partner companies in which the Company’s management takes a very active role in providing strategic direction and management assistance. The Emerging operating segment includes investments in companies that are, in general, managed to provide the greatest near-term stockholder value (“Emerging”). During fiscal 2003, one of our consolidated Core partner companies, OneCoast Network Holdings, Inc. (“OneCoast”), disposed of substantially all of its assets. The historical results of OneCoast are presented as “Discontinued Operations.” Additionally, during fiscal 2003 seven of our Emerging partner companies ceased operations. The partner companies included within the segments as of December 31, 2003 are consistently the same 30 partner companies for 2003, 2002 and 2001.

 

12


Loss from continuing operations for 2003 totaled $124.7 million and included net charges totaling $58.3 million consisting of the following: (i) charges in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 84, “Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt”, net of $59.3 million relating to our 2003 convertible debt for equity exchanges and other retirements, (ii) charges for the impairment of partner companies of $5.8 million, (iii) gains on the disposition of partner companies/other of $4.1 million and (iv) net restructuring credits of $2.7 million.

 

Loss from continuing operations for 2002 totaled $86.9 million and included net benefits totaling $53.0 million consisting of the following: (i) gains on the retirement of debt of $111.4 million, (ii) charges for the impairment of partner companies of $43.5 million, (iii) losses on the disposition of partner companies/other of $4.9 million and (iv) restructuring charges of $10.0 million.

 

Loss from continuing operations for 2001 totaled $2,295 million and included net charges totaling $1,377.1 million consisting of the following: (i) charges for the impairment of partner companies of $1,276.0 million, (ii) gains on the retirement of debt of $81.0 million, (iii) losses on the disposition of available-for-sale securities/other of $125.9 million and (iv) restructuring charges of $56.2 million.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The following table summarizes certain balance sheet information for the Parent Company, Internet Capital Group, Inc.:

 

     March 9,
2004


    December 31,
2003


 
     (in thousands)  

Cash and cash equivalents

   $ 57,550     $ 49,771  

Available for sale securities

   $ 13,984     $ 6,714  

Convertible subordinated notes due December 2004

   $ (39,111 )   $ (173,919 )

Shares of common stock outstanding

     761,132       436,776  

 

As a result of the convertible debt for equity exchanges completed from January 1, 2004 through March 9, 2004, our stockholders’ equity has increased $134.8 million.

 

We believe existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and proceeds from the potential sales of all or a portion of our interests in certain partner companies are expected to be sufficient to fund our cash requirements through at least the first quarter of 2005, including commitments to existing partner companies, debt obligations and general operations requirements.

 

In February 2004, the Company sold 4,944,445 shares of eMerge Interactive for $10.4 million in cash.

 

As of March 9, 2004, our available-for-sale securities consist of: 2,000,000 shares of eMerge Interactive common stock, 2,917,794 shares of Verticalnet common stock and 1,083,206 shares of Universal Access common stock. As of March 9, 2004, we also hold 1,559,481 shares of Onvia.com common stock valued at $6.5 million which is not classified as an available-for-sale security, as our ownership interest is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

 

From 2001 through March 9, 2004, we have repurchased and extinguished $527.2 million of the original $566.3 million face value of our convertible notes due December 2004 for $89.8 million in cash and 464.8 million shares of our common stock in a series of separate transactions. We intend to satisfy the remaining $39.1 million in convertible notes at or prior to maturity; however, we can provide no assurance that we will be successful in doing so. In connection with the satisfaction of the convertible notes, we may raise additional debt and/or equity financing, which may only be available on terms that result in significant dilution to our stockholders, that restrict the Company’s operations or that are otherwise unfavorable to us. We can provide no assurance that we will raise additional debt and/or equity financing or that we will monetize assets to satisfy our outstanding convertible debt. If we use our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments to satisfy the convertible debt, our financial resources will be significantly reduced which could have a material adverse effect on our business. If we satisfy the outstanding convertible debt through debt for equity exchanges, the interests of the holders of our common stock may be significantly diluted.

 

13


At December 31, 2003, we were obligated for $2.6 million of funding and guarantee commitments to existing partner companies. If a certain consolidated partner company achieves a fair market value in excess of $1.0 billion, we will be obligated to pay, in cash or stock at our option, 4% of the partner company’s fair market value in excess of $1.0 billion, up to $70 million to a venture capital firm. One of our executive officers was a limited partner of this venture capital firm. This contingent obligation will expire on the earlier to occur of May 31, 2005 or an unaffiliated company sale, if the valuation milestone is not achieved. Currently, the fair market value of this partner company is well below $1.0 billion. We will continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities and may acquire additional ownership interests in new and existing partner companies in the next twelve months; however, such acquisitions will generally be made at our discretion. If we elect to make additional acquisitions, it may become necessary for us to raise additional funds. We may not be able to raise additional capital and failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, our existing stockholders may experience significant dilution.

 

The following table summarizes our and our consolidated subsidiaries’ cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments:

Consolidated working capital decreased $207.3 million from 2002 to 2003 primarily due to the reclassification to current liabilities of the $173.9 million balance of our outstanding convertible notes as of December 31, 2003 as it matures in December 2004. As of March 9, 2004, the balance of convertible notes was $39.1 million. Our and our consolidated companies’ operating losses in 2003 also contributed to the decrease.

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $38.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to $80.7 million during the same prior year period. The decrease is primarily the result of the decreased losses at our consolidated partner companies.

 

Net cash provided by investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2003 was $6.6 million versus $12.4 million during the comparable 2002 period. The decrease is primarily due to reduced proceeds from partner company dispositions, offset by reduced acquisitions of ownership interests in 2003 versus 2002.

 

Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 versus $49.1 million during the same prior year period. The decrease in cash used is principally the result of $48.8 million being used to repurchase $163.0 million of principal amount of our convertible notes in 2002 versus $5.5 million being used to repurchase $12.0 million of principal amount of our convertible notes in 2003.

 

We and our consolidated subsidiaries are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. We do not expect the ultimate liability with respect to these actions will materially affect our financial position or cash flows.

Revenue

 

Revenue decreased $9.2 million from $79.0 million in 2002 to $69.8 million in 2003. As a result of a challenging market for enterprise software sales in 2003, CommerceQuest’s revenue declined $6.6 million in 2003 versus 2002. The deconsolidation in 2003 of two Core companies, eCredit and Freeborders reduced revenue $4.3 million versus 2002. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $1.7 million at ICG Commerce.

 

Revenue increased $2.4 million from $76.6 million in 2001 to $79.0 million in 2002. As a result of CommerceQuest, eCredit and Freeborders being consolidated for a greater period during 2002 than in 2001 revenue increased $14.8 million. Increases in the customer base, increased activity of existing customers and an acquisition resulted in increased revenues at ICG Commerce of $4.3 million in 2002 versus 2001. These increases were offset by a decrease of $16.7 million as a result of deconsolidating AssetTrade.com, Inc. (“AssetTrade”) during 2001.

 

During 2003, a customer of one of our consolidated partner companies notified the consolidated partner company of the exercise its right to terminate its arrangement to purchase services from our consolidated partner company effective January 1, 2004. Revenue from this customer totaled $11.9 million, $10.4 million and $11.2 million in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses decreased $39.9 million from $135.8 million in 2002 to $95.9 million in 2003. As a result of a challenging market for enterprise software sales in 2003 and the subsequent reduction in revenues, CommerceQuest reduced operating expenses $5.9 million in 2003 as compared to 2002. The deconsolidation in 2003 of two Core Companies, eCredit and Freeborders reduced operating expenses $13.7 million. The residual $20.3 million decrease is the result of ICG Commerce significantly reducing operating expenses.

 

Operating expenses decreased $104 million from $239.8 million in 2001 to $135.8 million in 2002. These operating expenses decreased by $61.0 million as ICG Commerce implemented cost reduction programs and by $40.4 million as a result of deconsolidating AssetTrade during 2001. These decreases were partially offset by an increase due to CommerceQuest, eCredit and Freeborders being consolidated for a greater period during 2002 versus 2001.

The total net losses of our three public Core partner companies, eMerge Interactive, Univeral Access and Verticalnet, improved from $961.8 million in 2001 to $50.7 million in 2002 to $34.7 million in 2003 due to significant restructuring charges in the aggregate in 2001 and 2002. The improved 2003 results are principally due to the restructuring of their operations. Accordingly, our share of the net losses of these companies in the aggregate also improved over these periods. Our share of the net losses in 2002 was also impacted by our basis in Verticalnet being reduced to zero in 2001 and the subsequent recovery of basis and partial recognition of our share of Verticalnet’s 2002 net income. Our share of the net losses in 2003 also improved as Universal Access and Verticalnet’s ownership level fell below 20% during the third quarter of 2003; resulting in these companies no longer being accounted for under the equity method. Subsequent to December 31, 2003, we sold a portion of our ownership interest and terminated a voting agreement relating to eMerge Interactive. Accordingly, as of March 9, 2004, these three public Core companies are no longer accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

 

The total revenue of our nine private core equity method companies improved from $143.1 million in 2001 to $174.7 million in 2002 to $185.4 million in 2003. The 6% improvement of 2003 versus 2002 is primarily the result of increased revenue at our companies involved with affiliate marketing and online auctions offset by reduced revenue at our companies selling software relating to enterprise applications.

 

The total net losses of our nine private core equity method companies in the aggregate improved from $148.5 million in 2001 to $42.3 million in 2002 to $29.9 million in 2003. The 29% improvement of 2003 versus 2002 is primarily the result of increased revenues and reduced operating expenses offset by goodwill impairment charges of approximately $5.8 million at one of our companies. Accordingly, our share of the net losses of these companies also improved over these periods. Our share of the net losses was also impacted by changes in the methods of accounting for these partner companies. Additionally, as of December 31, 2003, four of these nine equity method companies have carrying values that have been reduced to zero. While the impact to 2003 was not significant as the carrying values were reduced to zero late in 2003, we may not record our share of these companies’ losses in 2004 until such time as our share of income equals the unrecorded losses or the partner companies’ equity transactions result in an adjustment of our investment. Our share of the net losses of those companies whose carrying value is zero at December 31, 2003 totaled $6.6 million in 2003.

In 2003 and 2002, three of our Core partner companies sold substantially all of their assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, these partner companies have been treated as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the operating results of these three discontinued operations have been presented separately from continuing operations and include the gains or losses recognized on disposition.

 

In 2003, the sale of the assets of OneCoast occurred. We received no cash proceeds on the transaction and recorded a loss of approximately $10.8 million. Our share of the losses of OneCoast totaled $2.1 million, $6.4 million and $3.1 million for 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

 

In 2002, the sale of the assets of Logistics.com, Inc. (“Logistics.com”) occurred. We received $10.8 million in proceeds in 2002 and an additional $1.7 million in 2003 and recognized a gain of $1.2 million in 2003 and $0.3 million in 2002. Our share of the losses of Logistics.com totaled $15.0 million and $10.5 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively.

 

In 2002, the sale of the assets of Delphion, Inc. (“Delphion”) occurred. We received $10.0 million in proceeds in 2002 and an additional $0.5 million in 2003 and recognized a gain of $0.5 million in 2003 and $10.0 million in 2002. Our share of the losses of Delphion totaled $4.2 million and $22.4 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively. We could receive additional proceeds of $2.9 million in 2004 pending the outcome of potential indemnification obligations.

 

The impact to our consolidated results of other consolidated and equity method partner companies we have disposed of our ownership interest in or have ceased operations during 2003, 2002 and 2001 is also included in the caption “Dispositions” for segment reporting purposes. The most significant individual consolidated partner companies’ revenues and net loss related to these dispositions were RightWorks, Inc. (“RightWorks”) and PaperExchange.com, Inc. (“PaperExchange.com”) in 2001 with revenues of $15.2 million and $4.4 million, respectively, and net losses of $135.8 million and $15.6 million, respectively.

General and Administrative

 

Our general and administrative expenses decreased $18.2 million from 2002 to 2003 primarily due to reduction in stock based compensation from $15.3 million in 2002 to $2.3 million in 2003 as a result of more restricted stock vesting in 2002, as well as changes recorded relating to certain modifications of certain stockholder loans. The residual decrease is the result of our continued restructuring of our operations. (See “Restructuring” below)

 

Our general and administrative expenses decreased $17.3 million from 2001 to 2002 primarily due to the restructuring of our operations. (See “Restructuring” below) These reductions were partially offset by an increase in stock based compensation from $14.4 million in 2001 to $15.3 million in 2002 primarily as a result of the issuance of restricted stock in 2001.

 

Restructuring (Impairment Related and Other)

 

During 2003, 2002 and 2001, we restructured our operations to better align our general and administrative expenses with the reduction in the number of our partner companies. The restructuring resulted in a credit of $5.1 million, and charges of $1.5 million and $32.9 million for the years ended December 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The credit in 2003 is primarily due to us settling a lease obligation for $7.1 million less than we had estimated.

 

Interest Income/Expense

 

The decrease in interest expense, net is primarily attributable to the reduction in convertible notes outstanding at December 31, 2003 versus 2002 versus 2001.

Impairment Charges

 

We continually evaluate the carrying values of our partner companies. Additionally, we operate in an industry that is rapidly evolving, extremely competitive and where many businesses have experienced difficulty in raising additional capital necessary to fund operating losses. In 1999 and 2000 the Company announced several significant acquisitions that were financed principally with shares of the Company’s stock and, based on the price of the Company’s stock at that time were valued in excess of $1.0 billion. Valuations of public companies operating in our industry declined significantly during 2001 and 2002. Based on our periodic review of our partner company carrying values, impairment charges of $5.8 million, $43.5 million and $1.3 billion were recorded in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. (See Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

Other Income (Loss), Net

 

Other income (loss), net was a loss of $56.8 million in 2003 versus income of $107.7 million in 2002. This decrease is primarily due to the 2003 loss of $59.3 million on our convertible debt for equity exchanges and other repurchases versus a gain in 2002 of $111.4 million on our cash debt repurchases.

 

Other income (loss), net was income in 2002 of $107.7 million versus a loss of $44.9 million in 2001. The increase is primarily due to the 2002 gain of $111.4 million on our cash debt repurchases versus losses in 2001 on sales of available for sale securities, partner company impairments and losses on partner company warrants partially offset by a gain of $81.0 million on our 2001 cash debt repurchases.

 

Additionally, through March 9, 2004, Other income (loss), net will include a loss of approximately $132.6 million due to convertible debt for equity exchanges.

 

Income Taxes

 

Our net deferred tax asset of $648.8 million at December 31, 2003 consists of deferred tax assets of $649.1 million, relating primarily to Partner Company basis differences, capital and net operating loss carry forwards, offset by deferred tax liabilities of $0.3 million primarily related to unrealized appreciation in available for sale securities. During 2001, we recorded a full valuation allowance against our net assets which was maintained during 2002 and 2003 (See Note 15 to our Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

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 of America. 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 on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to our investments in our partner companies, marketable securities, revenues, income taxes and commitments and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed

 

21


to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

We believe the following critical accounting policies are important to the presentation of our financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.

 

Valuation of Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Ownership Interests in Partner Companies

 

We perform on-going business reviews and perform annual goodwill impairment tests in accordance with SFAS No. 142 and other impairments tests in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) No. 18 “Equity Method Investments” and SFAS No. 144 and, based on quantitative and qualitative measures, assess the need to record impairment losses on goodwill, intangible assets and our ownership interests in our partner companies when impairment indicators are present. Where impairment indicators are present, we determine the amount of the impairment charge as the excess of the carrying value over the fair value. We determine fair value based on a combination of the discounted cash flow methodology, which is based upon converting expected future cash flows to present value, and the market approach, which includes analysis of market price multiples of companies engaged in lines of business similar to the company being evaluated. The market price multiples are selected and applied to the company based on relative performance, future prospects and risk profile of the company in comparison to the guideline companies. Significant assumptions relating to future operating results must be made when estimating the future cash flows associated with these companies. Significant assumptions relating to achievement of business plan objectives and milestones must be made when evaluating whether impairment indicators are present. Should unforeseen events occur or should operating trends change significantly, additional impairment losses could occur.

 

Revenue

 

We may assume all or a part of a customer’s procurement function as part of sourcing arrangements. Typically, in these engagements, we are paid a fee based on a percentage of the amount spent by our customer’s purchasing department in the specified areas we manage, a fixed fee agreed upon in advance, and in many cases we have the opportunity to earn additional fees based on the level of savings achieved for customers. We recognize fee income as earned and any additional fees as we become entitled to them. In these arrangements, we do not assume inventory, warranty or credit risk for the goods or services a customer purchases, but we do negotiate the arrangements between a customer and supplier.

 

We recognize license revenue when a signed contract or purchase order exists, the software has been shipped or electronically delivered, the license fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. When contracts contain multiple elements wherein vendor specific objective evidence exists for all undelivered elements, we account for the delivered elements in accordance with the “Residual Method” prescribed by Statements of Position No. 98-9 “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions.”

 

We assess whether the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is probable at that time of the transaction. In determining whether the fee is fixed or determinable, we compare the payment terms of the transaction to our normal payment terms. If a significant portion of a fee is due after our normal payment terms, we account for the fee as not being fixed or determinable and recognize revenue as the fees become due. We assess whether collection is probable based on a number of factors, including the customer’s past transaction history and credit-worthiness. We do not request collateral from our customers. If we determine that collection of a fee is not probable, we defer the fee and recognize revenue at the time collection becomes probable, which is generally upon receipt of cash.

 

First-year maintenance typically is sold with the related software license and renewed on an annual basis thereafter. For such arrangements with multiple obligations, we allocate revenue to each component of the arrangement based on the fair value of the undelivered elements. 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. Maintenance revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance and support period. Fair value of services, such as consulting or training, is based upon separate sales of these services. Consulting and training services are generally billed based on hourly rates and revenues are generally recognized as the services are performed. Consulting services primarily consist of implementation services related to the installation of our products and generally do not include significant customization to or development of the underlying software code.

 

22


Deferred Income Taxes

 

We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We consider future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in determining the need for a valuation allowance. In the event that we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets is charged to earnings in the period such determination is made. Likewise, if we later determine that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets would be realized, then the previously provided valuation allowance would be reversed.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

From time to time, we are a defendant or plaintiff in various legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. We are also a guarantor of various third-party obligations and commitments. We are required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of reserves required for these contingencies, if any, which would be charged to earnings, is made after careful analysis of each individual matter. The required reserves may change in the future due to new developments in each matter or changes in circumstances, such as a change in settlement strategy. Changes in required reserves could increase or decrease our earnings in the period the changes are made.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (“Interpretation No. 46”). Interpretation No. 46 addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in Interpretation No. 46. Interpretation No. 46 applies immediately to variable interests in variable interest entities created after January 31 2003, and to variable interests in variable interest entities obtained after January 31, 2003. For public enterprises with a variable interest in variable interest entity created before February 1, 2003, Interpretation No. 46 is applied to the enterprise no later than the beginning of the first interim or annual report period beginning after June 15, 2003. In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” (“Interpretation No.46–R”) to address certain Interpretation No. 46 implementation issues. The effective dates and impact of Interpretation No. 46 and Interpretation No. 46-R are as follows:

 

  (i) Special purpose entities created prior to February 1, 2003: We must apply either the provisions of Interpretation No. 46 or early adopt the provisions of Interpretation No. 46-R at the end of the first interim or annual reporting period ending after December 31, 2003.

 

  (ii) Non-special purpose entities created prior to February 1, 2003: We are required to adopt Interpretation No. 46-R at the end of the first interim or annual reporting period ending after March 15, 2004.

 

  (iii) All entities, regardless of whether a special purpose entity, that were created subsequent to January 31, 2003: The provisions of Interpretation No. 46 were applicable for variable interests in entities obtained after January 31, 2003. We are required to adopt Interpretation No. 46-R at the end of the first interim or annual reporting period ending after March 15, 2004.

 

We are evaluating the impact of applying FIN 46R to its unconsolidated partner companies. It is possible that under the consolidation provisions, we may be required to consolidate previously unconsolidated partner companies.

 

SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”, was issued in May 2003. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 also includes required disclosures for financial instruments within its scope. For us, SFAS No. 150 was effective for instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise at July 1, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. For certain mandatorily redeemable financial instruments, SFAS No. 150 will be effective for us on January 1, 2005. The effective date has been deferred indefinitely for certain other types of mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. We currently do not have any financial instruments that are within the scope of SFAS No. 150.

Risks Particular to Internet Capital Group

 

We are attempting to satisfy or refinance the remaining $39.1 million in convertible notes and this could result in substantial dilution of the interests of the holders of our common stock or a significant reduction in our financial resources.

 

From 2001 through March 9, 2004, we have repurchased and extinguished $527.2 million of the original $566.3 million face value of December 2004 convertible notes for $89.8 million in cash and 464.8 million shares of our common stock in a series of separate transactions. We intend to satisfy the remaining $39.1 million in convertible notes at or prior to maturity; however, we can provide no assurance that we will be successful in doing so. In connection with the satisfaction of the convertible notes, we may raise additional debt and/or equity financing, which may only be available on terms that result in significant dilution to our stockholders, that restrict the Company’s operations or that are otherwise unfavorable to us. We can provide no assurance that we will raise additional debt and/or equity financing or that we will monetize assets to satisfy our outstanding convertible debt. If we use our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments to satisfy the convertible debt, our financial resources will be significantly reduced, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. If we satisfy the outstanding convertible debt through debt for equity exchanges, the interests of the holders of our common stock may be significantly diluted.

 

If our common stock ceases to be listed for trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the price and liquidity of our common stock may be adversely affected.

 

If our common stock ceases to be listed for trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, sales of our common stock would likely be conducted only in the over-the-counter market. This could have a negative impact on the price and liquidity of our common stock.

 

Companies listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market are required to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. When we transferred from the Nasdaq National Market to the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, our securities were trading below $1.00. As a result of our transfer to the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, we were granted an initial grace period lasting until October 22, 2002 to regain compliance with the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement. On October 23, 2002, we received a letter from Nasdaq informing us that, although we did not regain compliance during the initial grace period, we qualified for and would be provided with a second grace period, lasting 180 calendar days, to regain compliance. On April 21, 2003, we received a letter from Nasdaq informing us that although we did not regain compliance during the second grace period, we qualified for and would be provided with a third grace period lasting 90 calendar days to regain compliance. On July 23, 2003, we received a delisting determination

 

24


from the Nasdaq staff stating that we had not regained compliance with the Nasdaq SmallCap Market’s $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement.

 

We appealed this determination and on October 10, 2003, we were granted an exception to the bid price requirement through December 1, 2003. On December 15, 2003 we were granted an exception to the bid price requirement through January 30, 2004 to allow for developments in the SEC rulemaking process with respect to a proposed rule that would afford SmallCap Market issuers additional grace periods to remedy a minimum bid price deficiency. Under the proposal, an issuer could receive up to a two-year grace period provided that it continued to meet certain listing requirements and provided that it committed to seek stockholder approval for a reverse stock split to address the bid price deficiency at or before a meeting scheduled to occur no later than two years from the original notification of bid price deficiency. ICG’s two-year deadline expires on April 24, 2004.

 

In December 2003, the SEC approved the proposed rule change regarding grace periods. Based on the SEC’s approval of this proposed rule change, Nasdaq notified the Company that in order to remain listed, it must commit to seeking stockholder approval for a reverse stock split sufficient to remedy its bid price deficiency prior to April 24, 2004. On January 9, 2004, the Company notified Nasdaq of its determination that, if its stock price does not regain compliance with the SmallCap Market’s minimum bid price requirement, it will seek to obtain stockholder approval by April 24, 2004 for a reverse stock split sufficient to support the Company’s compliance with the requirement. Based on this determination, Nasdaq granted ICG an exception to the bid price requirement through April 24, 2004. In order to meet the minimum bid price requirement, our common stock would need to trade at or above $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive business days during the grace period. The Company intends to seek stockholder approval by April 24, 2004 to grant discretionary authority to our Board to effect a proposed reverse stock split. There can be no assurance that such approval will be obtained or that, if obtained, the Company will effect the proposed reverse stock split.

 

Our common stock may be delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market even if the proposed reverse stock split is authorized and implemented.

 

There can be no assurance that after implementing the proposed reverse stock split that the Company would be able to achieve compliance with the Nasdaq SmallCap Market’s $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement. If the Company fails to achieve compliance with such requirement subsequent to the proposed reverse stock split, our common stock may cease to be listed for trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.

 

There can be no assurance that the total market capitalization of our common stock (the aggregate value of all our common stock at the then current market price) after the proposed reverse stock split will be equal to or greater than the total market capitalization before the proposed reverse stock split or that the per share market price of our common stock following the proposed reverse stock split will either equal or exceed the then current per share market price.

 

There can be no assurance that the market price per share of our common stock after the proposed reverse stock split will remain unchanged or increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of old shares of our common stock outstanding before the proposed reverse stock split. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of our common stock after the proposed reverse stock split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the proposed reverse stock split and, in the future, the market price of our common stock following the proposed reverse stock split may not exceed or remain higher than the market price prior to the proposed reverse stock split.

 

If the proposed reverse stock split is effected, the resulting per-share stock price may not attract institutional investors or investment funds and may not satisfy the investing guidelines of such investors.

 

While we believe that a higher stock price may help generate investor interest, there can be no assurance that the proposed reverse stock split will result in a per share price that will attract institutional investors or investment funds or that such share price will satisfy the investing guidelines of institutional investors or investment funds.

 

25


A decline in the market price of our common stock after the proposed reverse stock split may result in a greater percentage decline than would occur in the absence of the proposed reverse stock split, and the liquidity of our common stock could be adversely affected following the proposed reverse stock split.

 

If the proposed reverse stock split is effected and the market price of our common stock declines, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of the proposed reverse stock split, and the liquidity of our common stock could be adversely affected.

 

Our outstanding indebtedness could negatively impact our future prospects.

 

As of March 9, 2004, we had $39.1 million in outstanding convertible subordinated notes and $7.0 million in other long-term debt (including the current portion thereof). This indebtedness may:

 

make it more difficult to obtain additional financing;

 

limit our ability to deploy existing capital resources; and

 

constrain our ability to react quickly in an unfavorable economic climate.

 

We have had a history of losses and expect continued losses in the foreseeable future.

 

We have had significant operating losses and, excluding the effect of any future non-operating gains, we expect to continue incurring operating losses in the future. As a result, we may not have sufficient resources to expand or maintain our operations in the future. We can give no assurances as to when or whether we will achieve profitability, and if we ever have profits, we may not be able to sustain them.

 

Our stock price has been volatile in the past and may continue to be volatile in the future.

 

Our stock price has historically been volatile. Stock prices of technology companies have generally been volatile as well. This volatility may continue in the future.

 

The following factors, among others, may add to our common stock price’s volatility:

 

the proposed reverse stock split;

 

our debt obligations;

 

actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly results and those of our partner companies;

 

changes in the market valuations of our partner companies and other technology and internet companies;

 

conditions or trends in the information technology and e-commerce industries;

 

negative public perception of the prospects of information technology companies;

 

changes in our financial estimates and those of our partner companies by securities analysts;

 

new products or services offered by us, our partner companies and their competitors;

 

announcements by our partner companies and their competitors of technological innovations;

 

announcements by us or our partner companies or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures;

 

our capital commitments;

 

additional sales of our securities;

 

additions to or departures of our key personnel or key personnel of our partner companies; and

 

general economic conditions, such as a recession or interest rate or currency rate fluctuations, and the reluctance of enterprises to increase spending on new technologies.

 

Many of these factors are beyond our control. These factors may decrease the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance.

 

26


Our business depends upon the performance of our partner companies, which is uncertain.

 

If our partner companies do not succeed, the value of our assets and the price of our common stock may decline. Economic, governmental, industry and company factors outside our control affect each of our partner companies. The material risks relating to our partner companies include:

 

fluctuations in the market price of the common stock of Verticalnet, eMerge Interactive, Onvia.com and Universal Access, our publicly traded partner companies, and other future publicly traded partner companies, which are likely to affect the price of our common stock;

 

many of our partner companies are in the early stages of their development with limited operating history, little revenue and substantial losses;

 

lack of the widespread commercial use of the internet, decreased spending on information technology software and services and elongated sales cycles which may prevent our partner companies from succeeding;

 

intensifying competition for the products and services our partner companies offer, which could lead to the failure of some of our partner companies; and

 

the inability of our partner companies to secure additional financing, which may force some of our partner companies to cease or scale back operations.

 

Of our $231.2 million in total assets as of December 31, 2003, $53.4 million, or 23.1%, consisted of ownership interests in our partner companies accounted for under the equity and cost methods of accounting. The carrying value of our partner company ownership interests includes our original acquisition cost, the effect of accounting for certain of our partner companies under the equity method of accounting, the effect of adjustments to our carrying value resulting from certain issuances of equity securities by our partner companies, and the effect of impairment charges recorded for the decrease in value of certain partner companies. The carrying value of our partner companies will be impaired and decrease if one or more of our partner companies do not succeed. The carrying value of our partner companies is not marked to market; therefore, a decline in the market value of one of our publicly-traded partner companies may impact our financial position by not more than the carrying value of the partner company. However, this decline would likely affect the price of our common stock. For example, our stakes in our publicly traded partner companies had a combined market value of $23.9 million in the aggregate as of December 31, 2003. A decline in the market value of our publicly traded partner companies will likely cause a decline in the price of our common stock.

 

Other material risks relating to our partner companies are more fully described below under “Risks Particular to Our Partner Companies.”

 

Because we have limited resources to dedicate to our partner companies, some of the partner companies may not be able to raise sufficient capital to sustain their operations.

 

If our partner companies are not able to raise capital from other outside sources, then they may need to cease operations. Our allocation of resources to our partner companies is mostly discretionary. Because our resources and our ability to raise capital are limited, we may not commit to provide our partner companies with sufficient capital resources to allow them to reach a cash flow positive position. We allocate our resources to focus on those partner companies that we believe present the greatest potential to increase stockholder value. We cannot ensure that the companies we identified in this process are those that actually have the greatest value proposition. As a result of our limited resources, we will not allocate capital to all of our existing partner companies. Our decision to not provide additional capital support to some of our partner companies could have a material adverse impact on the operations of such partner companies.

 

If public and private capital markets are not favorable for the information technology and e-commerce sectors, we may not be able to execute on our strategy.

 

Our success depends on the acceptance by the public and private capital markets of information technology and e-commerce companies in general, including initial public offerings of those companies. The information technology and e-commerce markets have experienced significant volatility recently and the market for initial public offerings of information technology and e-commerce companies has been generally weak since 2000. If these conditions continue, we may not be able to create stockholder value by taking our partner companies public. In addition, reduced market interest in our industry may reduce the market value of our publicly traded partner companies.

 

27


Fluctuations in our quarterly results may adversely affect our stock price.

 

We expect that our quarterly results will fluctuate significantly due to many factors, including:

 

the operating results of our partner companies;

 

significant fluctuations in the financial results of information technology and e-commerce companies generally;

 

changes in equity losses or income;

 

the acquisition or divestiture of interests in partner companies;

 

the repurchase, exchange or restructuring of any of our outstanding indebtedness;

 

changes in our methods of accounting for our partner company interests, which may result from changes in our ownership percentages of our partner companies;

 

sales of equity securities by our partner companies, which could cause us to recognize gains or losses under applicable accounting rules;

 

the pace of development or a decline in growth of the information technology and e-commerce markets;

 

competition for the goods and services offered by our partner companies; and

 

our ability to effectively manage our growth and the growth of our partner companies.

 

If our operating results in one or more quarters do not meet securities analysts’ or investors’ expectations, the price of our common stock could decrease.

 

The loss of any of our or our partner companies’ executive officers or other key personnel or our or our partner companies’ inability to attract additional key personnel could disrupt our business and operations.

 

If one or more of our executive officers or key personnel, or our partner companies’ executive officers or key personnel were unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, or if we or our partner companies were unable to hire qualified personnel, our business and operations could be disrupted and our operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. The success of some of our partner companies also depends on their having highly trained technical and marketing personnel. A shortage in the number of trained technical and marketing personnel could limit the ability of our partner companies to increase sales of their existing products and services and launch new product offerings.

 

Our accounting estimates with respect to the ultimate recoverability of our basis in our partner companies could change materially in the near term.

 

Our accounting estimates with respect to the useful life and ultimate recoverability of our carrying basis, including goodwill, in our partner companies could change in the near term and the effect of such changes on the financial statements could be significant. In the first quarter of 2000, we announced several significant acquisitions that were financed principally with shares of our stock and based on the price of our stock at that time, were valued in excess of $1.0 billion. Based on our periodic review of our partner company holdings, we have recorded cumulative impairment charges of $1.3 billion to write off certain partner company holdings. As of December 31, 2003, our recorded amount of carrying basis including goodwill was not impaired, although we cannot assure that our future results will confirm this assessment. We performed our annual impairment test during the fourth quarter of 2003. It is possible that a significant write-down or write-off of partner company carrying basis, including goodwill, may be required in the future, or that a significant loss will be recorded in the future upon the sale of a partner company. A write-down or write-off of this type could cause a decline in the price of our common stock.

 

We may compete with some of our partner companies, and our partner companies may compete with each other, which could deter companies from partnering with us and may limit future business opportunities.

 

We may compete with our partner companies to acquire interests in information technology and e-commerce companies and our partner companies may compete with each other for information technology e-commerce opportunities. This competition may deter companies from partnering with us and may limit our business opportunities.

 

28


Our partner companies could make business decisions that are not in our best interests or that we do not agree with, which could impair the value of our partner company interests.

 

Although we generally seek a significant equity interest and participation in the management of our partner companies, we may not be able to control significant business decisions of our partner companies. In addition, although we currently own a controlling interest in several of our partner companies, we may not maintain this controlling interest. Equity interests in partner companies in which we lack control or share control involve additional risks that could cause the performance of our interest and our operating results to suffer, including the management of a partner company having economic or business interests or objectives that are different from ours and partner companies not taking our advice with respect to the financial or operating difficulties that they may encounter.

 

Our inability to prevent dilution of our ownership interests in our partner companies or our inability to otherwise have a controlling influence over the management and operations of our partner companies could have an adverse impact on our status under the Investment Company Act. Our ability to adequately control our partner companies could also prevent us from assisting them, or could prevent us from liquidating our interest in them at a time or at a price that is favorable to us. Additionally, our partner companies may not collaborate with each other or act in ways that are consistent with our business strategy. These factors could hamper our ability to maximize returns on our interests and cause us to recognize losses on our interests in partner companies.

 

Our stakes in some partner companies have been and are likely to be diluted, which could materially reduce the value of our stake in such partner companies.

 

Since we allocate our financial resources to certain partner companies, our ownership interests in other partner companies have been and are likely to continue to be diluted due to our decision not to participate in financings. This dilution could result in a reduction in the value of our stakes in such partner companies.

 

Our operations and growth could be impaired by limitations on our and our partner companies’ ability to raise money.

 

If the capital markets’ interest in our industry is depressed, our ability and the ability of our partner companies to grow and access the capital markets will be impaired. This may require us to take other actions, such as borrowing money on terms that may be unfavorable to us, or divesting of interests in our partner companies to raise capital. While we attempt to operate our business in such a manner so as to be independent from the capital markets, there is no assurance that we will be successful in doing so. Our partner companies are also dependent on the capital markets to raise capital for their own purposes.

 

Even if a number of our partner companies achieve profitability, we may not be able to extract cash from such companies, which could have a negative impact on our operations.

 

One of our goals is to help our partner companies achieve profitability. Even if a number of our partner companies do meet such goal, we may not be able to access cash generated by such partner companies to fund our own operations, which could have a negative impact on our operations.

 

When we divest partner company interests, we may be unable to obtain maximum value for such interests.

 

When we divest all or part of an interest in a partner company, we may not receive maximum value for our position. We may divest our interests in partner companies to generate cash or for strategic reasons. For partner companies with publicly-traded stock, we may be unable to sell our interest at then-quoted market prices. Because we hold significant stakes of restricted securities in thinly-traded public companies, we may have difficulty selling our interest in such companies and, if we are able to sell our shares, such sales may be subject to volume limitations. Furthermore, for those partner companies that do not have publicly-traded stock, the realizable value of our interests may ultimately prove to be lower than the carrying value currently reflected in our consolidated financial statements. We continually evaluate the carrying value of our ownership interests in and advances to each of our partner companies for possible impairment based on achievement of business plan objectives and milestones, the value of each ownership interest in the partner company relative to carrying value, the financial condition and prospects of the partner company and other relevant factors. If we are unable to raise capital from other sources, we may be forced to sell our stakes in partner companies at unfavorable prices in order to sustain our operations. Additionally, we may be unable to find buyers for certain of our assets, which could adversely affect our business.

 

29


The Companies that we have identified as Core partner companies may not succeed.

 

We have identified certain partner companies that we believe offer the greatest value proposition as Core partner companies. We cannot ensure that the companies we have identified as Core partner companies are those that actually have the greatest value proposition or are those to which we will continue to allocate capital. Although we have identified certain of our partner companies as Core partner companies, this categorization does not necessarily imply that every one of our Core partner companies is a success at this time or will become successful in the future. There is no guarantee that a Core partner company will remain categorized as Core or that it will be able to successfully continue operations.

 

We may not be able to increase our ownership stakes in select partner companies.

 

One of our goals is to increase our ownership in a small group of companies that we believe have major growth opportunities. We may not be able to achieve this goal because of limited resources and/or the unwillingness of other stockholders of such companies to enter into a transaction that would result in an increase in our ownership stake.

 

We may have to buy, sell or retain assets when we would otherwise choose not to in order to avoid registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which would impact our investment strategy.

 

We believe that we are actively engaged in the businesses of information technology and e-commerce through our network of majority-owned subsidiaries and companies that we are considered to “control.” Under the Investment Company Act, a company is considered to control another company if it owns more than 25% of that company’s voting securities and is the largest stockholder of such company. A company may be required to register as an investment company if more than 45% of its total assets consist of, and more than 45% of its income/loss and revenue attributable to it over the last four quarters is derived from, ownership interests in companies that it does not control. Because many of our partner companies are not majority-owned subsidiaries, and because we own 25% or less of the voting securities of a number of our partner companies, changes in the value of our interests in our partner companies and the income/loss and revenue attributable to our partner companies could subject us to regulation under the Investment Company Act unless we take precautionary steps. For example, in order to avoid having excessive income from “non-controlled” interests, we may not sell minority interests we would otherwise want to sell or we may have to generate non-investment income by selling interests in partner companies that we are considered to control. We may also need to ensure that we retain more than 25% ownership interests in our partner companies after any equity offerings. In addition, we may have to acquire additional income or loss generating majority-owned or controlled interests that we might not otherwise have acquired or may not be able to acquire “non-controlling” interests in companies that we would otherwise want to acquire. It is not feasible for us to be regulated as an investment company because the Investment Company Act rules are inconsistent with our strategy of actively managing, operating and promoting collaboration among our network of partner companies. On August 23, 1999, the SEC granted our request for an exemption under Section 3(b)(2) of the Investment Company Act declaring us to be primarily engaged in a business other than that of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities. This exemptive order reduces the risk that we may have to take action to avoid registration as an investment company, but it does not eliminate the risk.

 

We have implemented certain anti-takeover provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us.

 

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation provides that our board of directors may issue preferred stock without stockholder approval and also provides for a staggered board of directors. We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which restricts certain business combinations with interested stockholders. Additionally, we have a Rights Agreement which has the effect of discouraging any person or group from beneficially owning more that 15% of our outstanding common stock unless our board has amended the plan or redeemed the rights. The combination of these provisions may inhibit non-negotiated merger or other business combination.

 

Risks Particular to Our Partner Companies

 

Certain of our partner companies have a limited operating history and may never be profitable.

 

Certain of our partner companies are early-stage companies with limited operating histories, have significant historical losses and may never be profitable. Many of these companies have incurred substantial costs to develop and market their products and expand operations, have incurred net losses and cannot fund their cash needs from operations. Operating expenses of these

 

30


companies could increase in the foreseeable future as they continue to develop products, increase sales and marketing efforts and expand operations.

 

Fluctuation in the price of the common stock of our publicly-traded partner companies may affect the price of our common stock.

 

Verticalnet, eMerge Interactive, Onvia.com and Universal Access are our publicly-traded partner companies. Fluctuations in the price of Verticalnet’s, eMerge Interactive’s, Onvia.com’s and Universal Access’ and other future publicly-traded partner companies’ common stock are likely to affect the price of our common stock. The price of our publicly-traded partner companies common stock has been highly volatile. As of December 31, 2003, the market value of the Company’s interest in publicly-traded partner companies was $23.9 million. Our assets as reflected in our balance December 31, 2003 sheet were $231.2 million, of which $7.1 million related to Verticalnet, eMerge Interactive, Onvia.com and Universal Access. However, we believe that comparison of the value of our holdings in partner companies to the value of our total assets is not meaningful because not all of our partner company ownership interests are marked to market in our balance sheet.

 

Verticalnet’s results of operations, and accordingly the price of its common stock, may be adversely affected by the risk factors disclosed in its SEC filings, including the following factors:

 

inability to retain key management and experienced software personnel;

 

inability to generate significant revenues from enterprise software licensing and professional services;

 

inability to generate an operating profit;

 

inability to establish brand awareness;

 

inability to acquire additional funding;

 

inability to compete in the market for the products and services it offers;

 

inability to protect intellectual property rights;

 

lengthy sales and implementation cycles for products;

 

dilution of existing shareholders; and

 

uncertainty regarding pending litigation.

 

eMerge Interactive’s results of operations, and accordingly the price of its common stock, may be adversely affected by the risk factors disclosed in its SEC filings, including the following factors:

 

lack of commercial acceptance of eMerge Interactive’s products and services;

 

inability to respond to competitive and industry developments;

 

failure to achieve brand recognition;

 

difficulty in evaluating current business segments due to limited operating history;

 

inability to protect intellectual property rights;

 

failure to introduce new products and services; and

 

failure to upgrade and enhance its technologies to accommodate expanded product and service offerings and increased customer traffic.

 

Onvia.com’s results of operations, and accordingly the price of its common stock, may be adversely affected by the risk factors disclosed in its SEC filings, including the following factors:

 

inability to meet projected subscriber renewal rates;

 

potential loss of rights to distribute governmental content;

 

potential reduction in governmental spending resulting in a reduction of Onvia.com’s bid flow;

 

inability to eliminate monthly lease payments on idle office space;

 

inability to increase subscribership to its premium, higher priced services;

 

inability to combat use of bid flow information;

 

many competitors of Onvia.com have larger customer bases and greater brand recognition;

 

government agencies’ and small business’ unwillingness to purchase and sell business services and products online;

 

inability to enhance the features and services of its exchange to achieve acceptance and scalability;

 

inability to retain executive officers, directors and key employees;

 

regulation and legal restrictions on proprietary bid aggregation technology;

 

31


inability to successfully integrate any future acquisition;

 

failure to expand current technology infrastructure and network software system;

 

dependence on licensed technology from third parties;and

 

inability to acquire additional capital.

 

Universal Access’ results of operations, and accordingly the price of its common stock, may be adversely affected by the risk factors disclosed in its SEC filings, including the following factors:

 

restrictions on future operating activities and ability to pursue business opportunities in connection with the incurrence of indebtedness;

 

failure of its services to be sufficiently rapid, reliable and cost-effective;

 

unwillingness of clients to outsource the obtaining of circuits;

 

failure to successfully operate a network operations center;

 

inability to implement and maintain its Universal Information Exchange (“UIX”) databases;

 

failure of the market for UTX services to grow;

 

inability of clients’ to pay their obligations;

 

inability to obtain additional financing;

 

inability to reduce costs and manage future expansion effectively;

 

inability to retain key personnel and hire additional personnel;

 

dependence on several large clients;

 

inability to develop new service offerings and expand marketing channels;

 

control by a significant stockholder may discourage third party offers to acquire the company;

 

recent reverse stock split may cause a decline in stock price and total market capitalization;

 

inability to provide uninterrupted circuit access;

 

difficult industry conditions;

 

inability to compete due to price compression;

 

compliance with regulatory requirements; and

 

lack of patented technology.

 

The success of our partner companies depends on the development of the e-commerce market, which is uncertain.

 

Some of our partner companies rely on e-commerce markets for the success of their businesses. If widespread commercial use of the internet does not develop, or if the internet does not develop as an effective medium for providing products and services, our partner companies may not succeed.

 

A number of factors could prevent widespread market acceptance of e-commerce, including the following:

 

the unwillingness of businesses to shift from traditional processes to e-commerce processes;

 

the network necessary for enabling substantial growth in usage of e-commerce may not be adequately developed;

 

increased government regulation or taxation, which may adversely affect the viability of e-commerce;

 

insufficient availability of telecommunication services or changes in telecommunication services which could result in slower response times for the users of e-commerce; and

 

concern and adverse publicity about the security of e-commerce transactions.

 

Our partner companies may fail if their competitors provide superior technology offerings or continue to have greater resources than our partner companies have.

 

If our partner companies are unable to compete successfully against their competitors, our partner companies may fail. Competition for information technology and e-commerce products and services is intense. As the markets for information technology and e-commerce grow, we expect that competition will intensify. Barriers to entry are minimal and competitors can offer products and services at a relatively low cost. Our partner companies compete for a share of a customer’s:

 

purchasing budget for information technology and services, materials and supplies with other online providers and traditional distribution channels; and

 

dollars spent on consulting services with many established information systems and management consulting firms.

 

32


In addition, some of our partner companies compete to attract and retain a critical mass of buyers and sellers. Many companies offer competitive solutions that compete with one or more of our partner companies. We expect that additional companies will offer competing solutions on a stand-alone or combined basis in the future. Furthermore, our partner companies’ competitors may develop products or services that are superior to, or have greater market acceptance than, the solutions offered by our partner companies.

 

Many of our partner companies’ competitors have greater brand recognition and greater financial, marketing and other resources than our partner companies. This may place our partner companies at a disadvantage in responding to their competitors’ pricing strategies, technological advances, advertising campaigns, strategic partnerships and other initiatives.

 

Our partner companies may fail to retain significant customers.

 

During 2003, a partner company’s customer notified such partner company that it was exercising its right to terminate its arrangement to purchase services from such partner company effective January 1, 2004. This customer may compete with this partner company in the future. Approximately 17% of our consolidated company revenue for the year ended December 31, 2003, relates to such customer. If our partner companies are not able to retain significant customers, such partner companies’ and our results of operations and financial position could be adversely effected.

 

The inability of our partner companies’ customers to pay their obligations to them in a timely manner, if at all, could have an adverse effect on our partner companies.

 

Some of the customers of our partner companies may have inadequate financial resources to meet all their obligations. If one or more significant customers are unable to pay amounts owed to a partner company, such partner company’s results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

 

Some of our partner companies may be unable to protect their proprietary rights and may infringe on the proprietary rights of others.

 

The complexity of international trade secret, copyright, trademark and patent law, coupled with the limited resources of our partner companies and the demands of quick delivery of products and services to market, create the risk that our partner companies will be unable to protect their proprietary rights. Further, the nature of internet business demands that considerable detail about their innovative processes and techniques be exposed to competitors, because it must be presented on the websites in order to attract clients. Some of our partner companies also license content from third parties, and it is possible that they could become subject to infringement actions based upon the content licensed from those third parties. Our partner companies generally obtain representations as to the origin and ownership of such licensed content. However, these representations may not adequately protect them. Any claims against our partner companies’ proprietary rights, with or without merit, could subject our partner companies to costly litigation and the diversion of their technical and management personnel. If our partner companies incur costly litigation and their personnel are not effectively deployed, the expenses and losses incurred by our partner companies will increase and their profits, if any, will decrease.

 

Government regulation of the internet and e-commerce may harm our partner companies’ businesses.

 

Government regulation of the internet and e-commerce is evolving and unfavorable changes could harm our partner companies’ business. Our partner companies are subject to general business regulations and laws specifically governing the internet and e-commerce. Such existing and future laws and regulations may impede the growth of the internet or other online services. These regulations and laws may cover taxation, user privacy, pricing content, copyrights, distribution, electronic contracts, consumer protection, the provision of online payment services, broadband residential internet access and the characteristics and quality of products and services. It is not clear how existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, sales and other taxes, libel and personal privacy apply to the internet and e-commerce. Unfavorable resolution of these issues may harm our partner companies’ business.

 

33


Our partner companies that publish or distribute content over the internet may be subject to legal liability.

 

Some of our partner companies may be subject to legal claims relating to the content on their websites, or the downloading and distribution of this content. Claims could involve matters such as defamation, invasion of privacy and copyright infringement. Providers of internet products and services have been sued in the past, sometimes successfully, based on the content of material. In addition, some of the content provided by our partner companies on their websites is drawn from data compiled by other parties, including governmental and commercial sources. The data may have errors. If any of our partner companies’ website content is improperly used or if any of our partner companies supply incorrect information, it could result in unexpected liability. Any of our partner companies that incur this type of unexpected liability may not have insurance to cover the claim or its insurance may not provide sufficient coverage. If our partner companies incur substantial cost because of this type of unexpected liability, the expenses incurred by our partner companies will increase and their profits, if any, will decrease.

 

Our partner companies’ computer and communications systems may fail, which may discourage parties from using our partner companies’ systems.

 

Some of our partner companies’ businesses depend on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of their computer and communications hardware systems. Any system interruptions that cause our partner companies’ websites to be unavailable to web browsers may reduce the attractiveness of our partner companies’ websites to third parties. If third parties are unwilling to use our partner companies’ websites, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected. Interruptions could result from natural disasters as well as power loss, telecommunications failure and similar events.

 

Our partner companies’ businesses may be disrupted if they are unable to upgrade their systems to meet increased demand.

 

Capacity limits on some of our partner companies’ technology, transaction processing systems and network hardware and software may be difficult to project and they may not be able to expand and upgrade their systems to meet increased use. As traffic on our partner companies’ websites continues to increase, they must expand and upgrade their technology, transaction processing systems and network hardware and software. Our partner companies may be unable to accurately project the rate of increase in use of their websites. In addition, our partner companies may not be able to expand and upgrade their systems and network hardware and software capabilities to accommodate increased use of their websites. If our partner companies are unable to appropriately upgrade their systems and network hardware and software, the operations and processes of our partner companies may be disrupted.

 

Our partner companies may be unable to acquire or maintain easily identifiable website addresses or prevent third parties from acquiring website addresses similar to theirs.

 

Some of our partner companies hold various website addresses relating to their brands. These partner companies may not be able to prevent third parties from acquiring website addresses that are similar to their addresses, which could adversely affect the use by businesses of our partner companies’ websites. In these instances, our partner companies may not grow as we expect. The acquisition and maintenance of website addresses generally is regulated by governmental agencies and their designees. The regulation of website addresses in the United States and in foreign countries is subject to change. As a result, our partner companies may not be able to acquire or maintain relevant website addresses in all countries where they conduct business. Furthermore, the relationship between regulations governing such addresses and laws protecting trademarks is unclear.

 

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We are exposed to equity price risks on the marketable portion of our equity securities. Our public holdings at December 31, 2003 include equity positions in companies in the technology industry sector, including: eMerge Interactive; Universal Access; Onvia.com; and Verticalnet, many of which have experienced significant historical volatility in their stock prices. A 20% adverse change in equity prices, based on a sensitivity analysis of our public holdings as of December 31, 2003, would result in an approximate $4.8 million decrease in the fair value of our public holdings.

 

Although we typically do not attempt to reduce or eliminate our market exposure on these securities, particularly with respect to securities of our partner companies, we did enter into a forward contract on 1.8 million shares of our holdings in i2 Technologies, Inc. (“i2 Technologies”). The forward contract limited our exposure to and benefits from price fluctuations in the underlying equity securities. As of December 31, 2002, 1.8 million shares of i2 Technologies remained under this arrangement. In addition, 0.5 million shares of i2 Technologies were held in escrow, which were released to us in 2002, and were not hedged that had a market

 

34


value of $0.5 million at December 31, 2002. The combined value of the forward contract, the underlying hedged securities and the unhedged securities at December 31, 2002 was $10.1 million. The forward contract maturity was September 2003; however, on April 1, 2003, the forward contract was terminated and the Company received $9.6 million in cash. In 2003, the Company also sold the 0.5 million shares released from escrow in 2002 for $0.4 million. We may enter into similar collar arrangements in the future, particularly with respect to available-for-sale securities, which do not constitute ownership interests in our partner companies.

 

The carrying values of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. At December 31, 2003, the remaining principal balance of the convertible subordinated notes was $173.9 million and the fair value was approximately $133.0 million. Fair value of the Company’s convertible subordinated notes is determined by obtaining thinly traded market quotes from public sources. The carrying value of other long-term debt approximates its fair value, as estimated by using discounted future cash flows based on our current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

 

We have historically had very low exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and as such, have not used derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency fluctuation risk.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Internet Capital Group, Inc.:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Internet Capital Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), comprehensive loss and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2003. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

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

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Internet Capital Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

As discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill and accounting for notes receivable from stockholders in 2002 and derivatives in 2001.

1. The Company and Liquidity

 

Description of the Company

 

Internet Capital Group, Inc. (the “Company”) is an information technology company actively engaged in delivering software solutions and services that are designed to enhance business operations by increasing efficiency, reducing costs and improving sales results. The Company operates through a network of partner companies that deliver those solutions to customers. To help drive partner company progress, the Company provides operational assistance, capital support, industry expertise, access to operational best practices, and a strategic network of business relationships. The Company was formed in March 1996 and is headquartered in Wayne, Pennsylvania.

 

Although the Company refers to companies in which it has acquired a convertible debt or an equity ownership interest as its “Partner Companies” and indicates that it has a “partnership” with these companies, it does not act as an agent or legal representative for any of its Partner Companies, it does not have the power or authority to legally bind any of its Partner Companies and it does not have the types of liabilities in relation to its Partner Companies that a general partner of a partnership would have.

   $ (39,111 )   $ (173,919 )

Shares of common stock outstanding

     761,132       436,776  

 

As a result of the convertible debt for equity exchanges completed from January 1, 2004 through March 9, 2004, our stockholders’ equity has increased $134.8 million.

 

The Company believes existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and proceeds from the potential sales of all or a portion of the Company’s interests in certain partner companies are expected to be sufficient to fund the Company’s cash requirements through at least the first quarter of 2005, including commitments to existing partner companies, debt obligations and general operations requirements.

 

In February 2004, the Company sold 4,944,445 shares of eMerge Interactive for $10.4 million in cash and reclassified its residual interests to available-for-sale securities.

 

As of March 9, 2004, the Company’s available-for-sale securities consist of: 2,000,000 shares of eMerge Interactive common stock, 2,917,794 shares of Verticalnet common stock and 1,083,206 shares of Universal Access common stock. As of March 9, 2004, the Company also holds 1,559,481 shares of Onvia.com common stock valued at $6.5 million which is not classified as an available-for-sale security, as the Company’s ownership interest is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

 

From 2001 through March 9, 2004, the Company has repurchased and extinguished $527.2 million of the original $566.3 million face value of the Company’s convertible notes due December 2004 for $89.8 million in cash and 464.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock in a series of separate transactions. The Company intends to satisfy the remaining $39.1 million in convertible notes at or prior to maturity. In connection with the satisfaction of the convertible notes, the Company may raise additional debt and/or equity financing, which may only be available on terms that result in significant dilution to the Company’s stockholders, that restrict the Company’s operations or that are otherwise unfavorable to the Company. The Company can provide no assurance that the Company will raise additional debt and/or equity financing or that the Company will monetize assets to satisfy the Company’s outstanding convertible debt. If the Company used existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments to satisfy the convertible debt, the Company’s financial resources will be significantly reduced which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. If the Company satisfies the outstanding convertible debt through convertible debt for equity exchanges, the interests of the holders of the Company’s common stock may be significantly diluted.

Principles of Accounting for Ownership Interests in Partner Companies

 

The various interests that the Company acquires in its Partner Companies are accounted for under three methods: consolidation, equity and cost. The applicable accounting method is generally determined based on the Company’s voting interest in a Partner Company.

 

Consolidation. Partner Companies in which the Company directly or indirectly owns more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities are generally accounted for under the consolidation method of accounting. Under this method, a Partner Company’s balance sheet and results of operations are reflected within the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Participation of other Partner Company stockholders in the net assets and in the earnings or losses of a consolidated Partner Company is reflected in the caption “Minority interest” in the Company’s

 

44


INTERNET CAPITAL GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies—(Continued)

 

Consolidated Balance Sheet and Statements of Operations. Minority interest adjusts the Company’s consolidated results of operations to reflect only the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the consolidated Partner Company. The results of operations and cash flows of a consolidated Partner Company are included through the latest interim period in which the Company owned a greater than 50% direct or indirect voting interest for the entire interim period or otherwise exercised control over the Partner Company. Upon dilution of control below 50%, the accounting method is adjusted to the equity or cost method of accounting, as appropriate, for subsequent periods.

 

Equity Method. Partner Companies that are not consolidated, but over which the Company exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Whether or not the Company exercises significant influence with respect to a Partner Company depends on an evaluation of several factors including, among others, representation on the Partner Company’s Board of Directors and ownership level, which is generally a 20% to 50% interest in the voting securities of the Partner Company, including voting rights associated with the Company’s holdings in common, preferred and other convertible instruments in the Partner Company. Under the equity method of accounting, a Partner Company’s accounts are not reflected within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Operations; however, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the Partner Company is reflected in the caption “Equity loss” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The carrying value of equity method Partner Companies is reflected in “Ownership interests in Partner Companies” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

When the Company’s investment in an equity method Partner Company is reduced to zero, no further losses are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements unless the Company guaranteed obligations of the Partner Company or has committed additional funding. When the Partner Company subsequently reports income, the Company will not record its share of such income until it equals the amount of its share of losses not previously recognized.

 

Cost Method. Partner Companies not accounted for under the consolidation or the equity method of accounting are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Under this method, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of such companies is not included in the Balance Sheet or Consolidated Statements of Operations. However, cost method Partner Company impairment charges are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. If circumstances suggest that the value of the Partner Company has subsequently recovered, such recovery is not recorded.

 

When a cost method Partner Company qualifies for use of the equity method, the Company’s investment is adjusted retroactively for its share of the past results of its operations. Therefore, prior losses could significantly decrease the Company’s basis at that time.

 

The Company records its ownership interest in equity securities of Partner Companies accounted for under the cost method at cost, unless these securities have readily determinable fair values based on quoted market prices, in which case these interests are valued at fair value and classified as available-for-sale securities or some other classification in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”.

 

Impairment Charges

 

The Company continually evaluates the carrying value of its ownership interests in each of its Partner Companies for possible impairment based on achievement of business plan objectives and milestones, the value of each ownership interest in the Partner Company relative to carrying value, the financial condition and prospects of the Partner Company, and other relevant factors. The business plan objectives and milestones the Company considers include, among others, those related to financial performance such as achievement of planned financial results or completion of capital raising activities, and those that are not primarily financial in nature, such as obtaining key business partnerships or the hiring of key employees.

 

Impairment Charges are determined by comparing the estimated fair value of a Partner Company with its carrying value. Fair value is determined by estimating the cash flows related to the asset, including estimated proceeds on disposition. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and other Intangible Assets”. Upon adoption of SFAS

 

45


INTERNET CAPITAL GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies—(Continued)

 

No. 142, the Company was required to reassess the useful lives and residual values of all intangible assets acquired in purchase business combinations. In addition, to the extent an intangible asset is identified as having an indefinite useful life, the Company was required to test the intangible asset for impairment in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142 within the first interim period. No impairment loss was recognized upon adoption.

 

SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” provides updated guidance concerning the recognition and measurement of an impairment loss for certain types of long-lived assets, and requires that long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, and reported separately in the assets and liabilities section of the balance sheet. See Note 10 for discontinued operations.

 

The Company operates in an industry that is rapidly evolving and extremely competitive. Many internet-based businesses, including some with business models similar to the Company’s Partner Companies, have experienced difficulty in raising additional capital necessary to fund operating losses and continued investments that their management teams believe are necessary to sustain operations. Valuations of public companies operating in the internet e-commerce sector declined significantly during 2001 and 2002. In 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company announced several significant acquisitions that were financed principally with shares of the Company’s stock and, based on the price of the Company’s stock at that time, were valued in excess of $1 billion. Based on the Company’s periodic review of its Partner Company holdings, impairment charges of $5.8 million, $43.5 million and $1.3 billion were recorded in the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. See Note 3.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

During 2003 and 2002, the Company’s revenues were primarily attributable to ICG Commerce, CommerceQuest and eCredit. During 2001, the Company’s revenues were primarily attributable to PaperExchange.com and RightWorks.

 

ICG Commerce generates revenue from enabled sourcing, full service arrangements and managed eProcurement services. Enabled sourcing revenue includes revenue from procurement consulting services, auction services and sourcing programs and is generally recognized as the services are rendered. In full service arrangements, ICG Commerce assumes all or a part of the procurement function for a customer. Typically in these engagements, ICG Commerce is paid a fee based on a percentage of the amount spent by our customer’s purchasing department in the specified areas. Managed eProcurement revenue includes transaction fees, which are typically based on a percentage of the cost of the items purchased through the exchange. Because ICG Commerce does not carry inventory risk, transaction revenue is recorded under the net method. Under this method, the net transaction fees rather than the gross amounts charged to customers are recorded as revenues.

 

CommerceQuest and eCredit derive revenue from software license fees and services. Fees from licenses are recognized as revenue upon contract execution, provided all delivery obligations have been met, fees are fixed or determinable, collection is probable, and vendor-specific objective evidence exists for the undelivered elements of the arrangement. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract. Consulting and training revenue is recognized when the services are performed. Implementation fees, which do not relate to software license fees including start-up fees, are deferred and generally recognized as revenue over the term of the arrangement.

 

PaperExchange.com operated an e-business marketplace for the pulp and paper industry. PaperExchange.com acted as a principal or as an agent under agreements with certain suppliers. The majority of PaperExchange.com’s revenue was the result of arrangements where PaperExchange.com acted as a principal, took ownership and bore the risk of loss. An insignificant amount of revenues had been generated from amounts for which PaperExchange.com acted as an agent. Revenues were recognized when products were shipped.

2. Significant Accounting Policies—(Continued)

 

RightWorks derived revenue from software license fees and services. Fees from licenses were recognized as revenue upon contract execution, provided all delivery obligations had been met, fees were fixed or determinable, collection was probable, and vendor-specific objective evidence existed to allocate the total fee among all elements of the arrangement. Maintenance revenue was recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract. Consulting and training revenue was recognized when the services were performed.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

These estimates include evaluation of the Company’s investments in its Partner Companies, investments in marketable securities, asset impairment, revenue recognition, income taxes and commitments and contingencies. Certain amounts recorded to reflect the Company’s share of losses of Partner Companies accounted for under the equity method are based on unaudited results of operations of those Partner Companies and may require adjustments in the future when audits of these entities are made final. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s accounting estimates with respect to the useful life of intangible assets and the ultimate recoverability of our carrying basis including goodwill in Partner Companies could change in the near term and that the effect of such changes on the financial statements could be material. At year end, the Company believes the recorded amount of carrying basis including goodwill is not impaired, although there can be no assurance that the Company’s future results will confirm this assessment, that a significant write-down or write-off of Partner Company carrying basis including goodwill will not be required in the future, or that a significant loss will not be recorded in the future upon the sale of a Partner Company.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2003 and 2002 are invested principally in money market accounts, certificates of deposit and commercial paper.

 

Restricted Cash

 

The Company considers cash legally restricted and held as a compensating balance for letter of credit arrangements as restricted cash. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, restricted cash was held in money market accounts.

 

Available-for-Sale Securities

 

Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, based on quoted market prices, with the net unrealized gain or loss reported as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in stockholders’ equity (deficit).

 

Short-term Investments

 

Short-term investments are debt securities maturing in less than one year and are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

 

Financial Instruments

 

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are carried at cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company’s interests in public Partner Companies accounted for under the equity method of accounting had a fair value of $17.3 million and $12.6 million as of December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, compared to a carrying value of $0.4 million and $11.2 million,

 

47


INTERNET CAPITAL GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies—(Continued)

 

respectively. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value. Long-term debt is carried at cost, which approximates current market rates. The Company’s convertible subordinated notes had a fair value of $133.0 million and $116.1 million as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, versus a carrying value of $173.9 million and $283.1 million, respectively. Fair value of the Company’s convertible subordinated notes is determined by obtaining thinly traded market quotes from public sources.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company selectively uses derivative financial instruments, including cashless collar agreements and forward contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in certain of its investments in publicly held equity securities. The Company has recorded these investments at their estimated fair market value, with unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value recorded as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in stockholders’ equity.

 

Unrealized gains and losses as a result of these instruments are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations when the underlying hedged item is extinguished or otherwise terminated. The Company does not hold or issue any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes and is not a party to leveraged instruments.

 

The credit risks associated with the Company’s derivative financial instruments are controlled through the evaluation and monitoring of the creditworthiness of the counter parties. Although the Company may be exposed to losses in the event of nonperformance by the counter parties, the Company does not expect such losses, if any, to be significant. As of December 31, 2003, the Company does not have any derivative financial instruments.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

 

Goodwill and other intangibles, net relate to the Company’s acquisitions of its consolidated subsidiaries. During the year ended 2001, goodwill was amortized over a period of three years and assessed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 121. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” and, as a result, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill and assesses the impairment of goodwill in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. Goodwill associated with the Company’s equity method investments is no longer amortized and continues to be assessed for impairment under the provisions of APB No. 18.

 

Effective January 1, 2002, amortizable intangibles continue to be amortized over their remaining useful life. Amortization of intangibles not meeting the criteria in SFAS No. 142 for amortizable intangibles ceased as of January 1, 2002 and the non-amortizable intangibles are tested for impairment under the provisions of SFAS No. 142.

 

The Company adopted SFAS No. 144, as of January 1, 2002, to account for its long-lived assets, including other amortizable intangibles that are not accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 142.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

Deferred revenue consists primarily of payments received in advance of revenue being earned under procurement sourcing arrangements, software licensing, software installation, maintenance agreements and various start up fees.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the

 

48


INTERNET CAPITAL GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies—(Continued)

 

year in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic net loss per share (EPS) is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS includes common stock equivalents, unless anti-dilutive, that would arise from the exercise of stock options and conversion of other convertible securities and is adjusted, if applicable, for the effect on net income (loss) of such transactions. If a consolidated or equity method Partner Company has dilutive options or securities outstanding, diluted net income per share is computed by deducting from income (loss) from continuing operations the income attributable to the potential exercise of the dilutive options or securities of the Partner Company.

 

As the Company has incurred losses for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the effect of dilutive securities are not included as they would be anti-dilutive.

 

Issuances of Stock By Partner Companies

 

At the time a Partner Company accounted for under the consolidation or equity method of accounting issues its common stock at a price different from the Partner Company’s book value per share, the Company’s share of the Partner Company’s net equity changes and the Company adjusts the basis in the Partner Company accordingly. If at that time, the Partner Company is not a newly-formed, non-operating entity, nor a research and development, start-up or development stage company, nor is there question as to the Company’s ability to continue in existence, the Company records the change in its share of the Partner Company’s net equity as a gain or loss in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 19.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The functional currency for the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is the local currency of the country in which it operates. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Revenue, expenses, gains and losses are translated at the average exchange rate in the month those elements are recognized. Translation adjustments, which have not been material to date, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

Concentration of Customer Base and Credit Risk

 

Approximately 17%, 13% and 11% of the Company’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, relates to one customer of one of the Company’s consolidated Partner Companies. Accounts receivable from this customer as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 were not significant. During 2003, this customer notified such consolidated Partner Company of the exercise of its right to terminate its arrangement to purchase services from such consolidated Partner Company effective January 1, 2004.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company provides services in which the Company manages the transaction between its customer and a third party supplier. In these transactions, the Company is responsible for paying the supplier for the full cost of the goods or services and the customer is responsible for paying the Company an amount, which is generally the Company’s cost plus a transaction fee, for the goods or services. The Company is typically responsible for paying the supplier independent of when and if the Company receives payment from its customer. The Company receives payment directly from its customer. The Company records the gross amount of the associated receivables and payables on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. However, the Company records the net amount of the transaction fee as revenue on the accompanying statements of operations. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, accounts receivable included approximately $17.3 million and $18.3 million, respectively, related to such transactions.

Stock Based Compensation

 

As permitted by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,” the Company measures compensation cost in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation expense is recorded for stock options issued to employees that are granted at fair market value. Stock options issued to non-employees are recorded at fair value at the date of grant. Fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes model and the expense is amortized over the vesting period.

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123,” which provides optional transition guidance for those companies electing to voluntarily adopt the accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123. In addition, the statement mandates certain disclosures that are incremental to those required by SFAS No. 123. The Company has continued to account for stock-based compensation in accordance with APB No. 25. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 148.

 

The following table illustrates the effect on the Company’s net loss and net loss per share as if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards:

2. Significant Accounting Policies—(Continued)

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

The Company reports and displays comprehensive income (loss) and its components in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Comprehensive income (loss) is the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from non-owner sources. Excluding net income (loss), the Company’s sources of comprehensive income (loss) are from net unrealized appreciation on its available-for-sale securities and foreign currency translation adjustments; such translation adjustments have been negligible to date. Reclassification adjustments result from the recognition in net income of gains or losses that were included in comprehensive income (loss) in prior periods.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The impact of these changes is not material and did not affect net income (loss).

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (“Interpretation No. 46”). Interpretation No. 46 addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in Interpretation No. 46. Interpretation No. 46 applies immediately to variable interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interests in variable interest entities obtained after January 31, 2003. For public enterprises with a variable interest in a variable interest entity created before February 1, 2003, Interpretation No. 46 is applied to the enterprise no later than the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” (“Interpretation No. 46-R”) to address certain Interpretation No. 46 implementation issues. The effective dates and impact of Interpretation No. 46 and Interpretation No. 46-R are as follows:

 

  (i) Special purpose entities created prior to February 1, 2003: The Company must apply either the provisions of Interpretation No. 46 or early adopt the provisions of Interpretation No. 46-R at the end of the first interim or annual reporting period ending after December 31, 2003.

 

  (ii) Non-special purpose entities created prior to February 1, 2003: The Company is required to adopt Interpretation No. 46-R at the end of the first interim or annual reporting period ending after March 15, 2004.

 

  (iii) All entities, regardless of whether a special purpose entity, that were created subsequent to January 31, 2003: The provisions of Interpretation No. 46 were applicable for variable interests in entities obtained after January 31, 2003. The Company is required to adopt Interpretation No. 46-R at the end of the first interim or annual reporting period ending after March 15, 2004.

 

The Company is evaluating the impact of applying FIN 46R to its unconsolidated partner companies. It is possible that under the consolidation provisions, the Company may be required to consolidate previously unconsolidated partner companies.

 

SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”, was issued in May 2003. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 also includes required disclosures for financial instruments within its scope. For the Company, SFAS No. 150 was effective for instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise at July 1, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. For certain mandatorily redeemable financial instruments, SFAS No. 150 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2005. The effective date has been deferred indefinitely for certain other types of mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. The Company currently does not have any financial instruments that are within the scope of SFAS No. 150.

 

Accounting Changes

 

The Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill and accounting for notes receivable from stockholders in 2002 and derivatives in 2001.

 

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142 and, as a result, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill.

 

In March 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached consensus on Issue 50, “Accounting for the conversion of a recourse note to a nonrecourse note” of EITF No. 00-23, “Issues Related to the Accounting for Stock Compensation under APB Opinion No. 25 and FASB Interpretation No. 44.” This consensus establishes that the conversion of a substantive recourse note to a nonrecourse note should be accounted for as the repurchase of the shares previously exercised where the repurchase amount is equal to the sum of (a) the then-current principal balance of the recourse note, (b) accrued interest, if any and (c) the intrinsic value of the new option. In most instances, compensation expense is recorded where the fair market value of the repurchased shares is less than the repurchase amount at the date of conversion. This consensus was applied prospectively to conversions of recourse notes to nonrecourse notes occurring after March 21, 2002 and resulted in compensation expense of approximately $3.7 million for 2002.

 

In 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” See Note 5.

Consolidated Companies—Impairments

 

In June 2000, the Company acquired a controlling interest in RightWorks for 5,892,048 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $754 million ($128 per share) and $22 million in cash. On March 8, 2001, the Company announced the merger of RightWorks with i2 Technologies. Based on the closing price of i2 Technologies stock at the date of the announcement ($21.43 per share), the Company recorded a non-cash, pre-tax loss of approximately $672.3 million. As of March 31, 2001, i2 Technologies stock had declined significantly resulting in revaluation of the assets held for sale and an additional loss of $26.9 million or a total loss on sale of $699.2 million. On August 23, 2001, the merger closed and the Company received approximately 4.5 million shares of i2 Technologies common stock.

 

In May 2000, the Company acquired a controlling interest in Harbour Ring International Holdings Limited, a listed company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that was renamed ICG Asia, for $116.5 million in cash. In June 2001, the Company agreed to sell its stake in ICG Asia to Asian conglomerate Hutchison Whampoa Limited and Reading Investments Limited for $98.6 million, which included proceeds from the sale of the Company’s subsidiary in Japan to ICG Asia, and recorded a net loss on sale of $15.2 million.

 

Also included in “Impairment related and other” are other impairment charges of $0.9 million and $56.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2001 related to other consolidated Partner Companies for which the Company had determined that it was not able to recover its full investment.

During the year ended December 31, 2003, two of the Company’s public Partner Companies, Verticalnet and Universal Access, previously accounted for under the equity method of accounting were reclassified to the cost method of accounting as the Company’s ownership level decreased as well as the Company’s ability to exercise significant influence on these entities. During the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, Verticalnet and Universal Access reported aggregate revenue and net loss of $79.1 million and $(24.9) million, $144.9 million and $(20.2) million and $247.9 million and $(869.4) million, respectively.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company accounted for an additional 33 Partner Companies under the equity method of accounting, of which 26 are no longer Partner Companies of the Company, one is a consolidated Partner Company and the remainder are accounted for under the cost method of accounting.

 

Impairments Related to Equity Method Companies

 

The Company recorded impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 of $1.4 million, $29.5 million and $440.5 million, respectively, related to equity method Partner Companies. The impairment charges of these equity method companies have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations as “Equity loss.”

 

Impairments related to Cost Method Companies

 

During the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Company recorded $3.5 million, $14.0 million and $64.9 million, respectively, in impairment charges, related to cost method Partner Companies for which it has been determined that the Company will not be able to recover its full investment.

4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 142 no longer permits the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Instead, these assets must be reviewed annually for impairment in accordance with this statement. Accordingly, the Company ceased amortization of all goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of January 1, 2002. During the first quarter of 2002, the Company completed the transitional impairment test of other intangible assets, which indicated that the Company’s other intangible assets were not impaired. During the second quarter of 2002, the Company completed the transitional impairment test of goodwill, which indicated that the Company’s goodwill was not impaired.

 

As of December 31, 2003, $45.2 million of goodwill was allocated to the Company’s Core segment. As of December 31, 2002, goodwill was allocated to the Company’s segments as follows: Core—$48.4 million; Emerging—$1.1 million. Amortizable intangible assets as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 of $6.6 million and $14.0 million, respectively, are included in intangible assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unamortizable intangible assets of $0.8 million and $0.8 million, as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, are included in intangible assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Other intangible assets that are being amortized over their useful lives are shown in the table below.

5. Derivative Financial Instruments

 

In September 2001, the Company entered into a variable share forward contract to hedge 1.8 million shares of its holdings of i2 Technologies common stock. At December 31, 2001, approximately 0.5 million shares were held in escrow. These shares were released to the Company in 2002, were still held and had not been hedged at December 31, 2002. At December 31, 2002, the Company’s holdings of i2 Technologies and related forward contract was valued at $10.1 million. On April 1, 2003, the forward contract was terminated and the Company received cash of $9.6 million. In 2003, the Company also sold the 0.5 million shares released from escrow in 2002 for $0.4 million. The forward contract limited the Company’s exposure to and benefits from price fluctuations in the underlying equity securities. The Company had designated the forward contract as a cash flow hedge and recorded the forward contract at its estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value recorded as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” and changes due to the ineffectiveness of these instruments in “Other income (loss), net”. Unrealized gains and losses as a result of these instruments were recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations when the underlying hedged item was extinguished or otherwise terminated.

 

The adoption of SFAS No. 133 resulted in recording $7.9 million of decline in fair value of warrants held in Partner Companies to “Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as of January 1, 2001. The fair value of warrants held in Partner Companies was $53.7 million on January 1, 2001. Estimated gains on the fair value of all outstanding warrants was $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. Estimated losses on the fair value of all outstanding warrants for years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 was approximately $0.9 million and $53.9 million, respectively. The Company acquired warrants which had a value of $13.1 million and disposed of warrants which had a value of $6.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2001. The Company exercised warrants which had a value of $0.4 million and $4.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The estimated fair value of warrants held in Partner Companies was approximately $0.9 million and $0.8 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The value of the Company’s warrants is included in Ownership interests in Partner Companies-Cost Method. See Note 3.

 

6. Available-for-Sale Securities

 

Available-for-sale securities represent the Company’s holdings in marketable equity securities and related hedge. The cost, unrealized holding gains/(losses), and fair value of available-for-sale securities at December 31, 2003 and 2002 were as follows:

The amounts reflected in the Company’s cost for Verticalnet and Universal Access was the carrying value on the date these Partner Companies converted to cost method companies from equity method companies.

 

Additionally, in 2004, the Company sold 4,944,445 shares of eMerge Interactive for $10.4 million which reduced the Company’s ownership to less than 20%. eMerge Interactive was previously accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, eMerge Interactive will be treated as an available-for-sale security in accordance with SFAS 115 and marked to market starting in the first quarter of 2004. See Note 1.

7. Debt

 

Convertible Subordinated Notes

 

In December 1999, the Company issued $566.3 million of convertible subordinated notes. The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 5.5% and mature in December 2004. The notes are convertible at the option of the holder, at any time on or before maturity into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $127.44 per share, which is equal to a conversion rate of 7.8468 shares per $1,000 principal of notes. Additionally, the notes may be redeemed by the Company if the Company’s closing stock price exceeds 150% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment.

In accordance with SFAS No. 84, “Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt”, in 2003 the Company recorded $65.7 million in expense equal to the fair value of the 147.1 million shares issued of $66.8 million in excess of the fair value of the 0.8 million shares issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms of $0.4 million, less $1.6 million of accrued interest. Additionally, the Company incurred $0.9 million, net of other costs associated with these transactions. The total $65.7 million loss is included in “Other income (loss)” net in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Accordingly, additional paid-in capital increased by the $97.2 million of face value of convertible notes exchanged and the $66.4 million of fair value of the 147.1 million shares issued in excess of the 0.8 million shares issuable pursuant to the original terms. As of December 31, 2003, the remaining principal balance was $173.9 million.

From January 1, 2004 through March 9, 2004, the Company exchanged approximately $134.8 million face value of its convertible subordinated notes for approximately 317.7 million shares of its common stock. These exchanges will result in an expense of $132.6 million in the first quarter of 2004 in accordance with SFAS No. 84. As of March 9, 2004, the remaining principal balance was $39.1 million. Additionally, additional paid-in capital will increase by the $134.8 million of face value of convertible notes exchanged and the $132.9 million of fair value of the 317.7 million shares issued in excess of the 1.1 million shares issuable pursuant to the original terms.

 

The Company recorded interest expense of $13.7 million, $20.0 million and $29.7 million during the three years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, with interest payments due semiannually through December 21, 2004.

Loan and Credit Agreements

 

On September 30, 2002, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Comerica Bank to provide for the issuance of letters of credit (the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement provided for issuances of letters of credit up to $20 million subject to a cash-secured borrowing base as defined by the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement was extended to October 19, 2004, and the maximum amount of letters of credit authorized to be issued was reduced to $10 million. Issuance fees of 0.50% per annum of the face amount of each letter of credit will be paid to Comerica Bank subsequent to issuance. The Loan Agreement also is subject to a 0.25% per annum unused commitment fee payable to the bank quarterly. As of December 31, 2003, $0.9 million in letters of credit were outstanding under the loan agreement, and amounts secured under the Loan Agreement are included in “Restricted Cash” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

9. Restructuring

 

During 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Company and its consolidated Partner Companies implemented restructuring plans designed to reduce cost structures by closing and consolidating offices, disposing of fixed assets and reducing their workforces. In 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Company and its consolidated partner companies recorded $4.4 million, $10.0 million and $56.2 million, respectively, primarily consisting of additional employee severance and office closure costs related to workforce reductions. The restructuring costs include the estimated costs to close offices including costs to fulfill the Company’s obligations under signed lease contracts and the write-off of leasehold improvements. In 2003, we settled a lease obligation for $7.1 million less than expected. Employee severance and related benefits include the estimated costs of cash severance and non-cash charges for the acceleration of stock options and forgiveness of interest on employee stock option loans. Cash severance was paid in a lump sum or over the shorter of a six-month period or until new employment. These charges are included in “Impairment related and other” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

11. Segment Information

 

The Company’s reportable segments using the “management approach” under SFAS No. 131, “Disclosure About Segments of a Business Enterprise and Related Information,” consist of two operating segments, the core (“Core”) operating segment and the emerging (“Emerging”) operating segment. Each segment includes the results of the Company’s Consolidated Partner Companies and records the Company’s share of earnings and losses of Partner Companies accounted for under the equity method of accounting and captures our basis in the assets of all of our partner companies.

 

The Core operating segment includes those partner companies in which the Company’s management takes a very active role in providing strategic direction and management assistance. The Emerging operating segment includes investments in companies that are, in general, managed to provide the greatest near term stockholder value.

 

Approximately 35%, 31% and 31% of the Company’s consolidated revenue for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, relates to sales generated in Europe.

 

The following summarizes the selected information related to the Company’s segments. All significant intersegment activity has been eliminated. Assets are owned or allocated assets used by each operating segment.

13. Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)

 

During 2000, the Company increased its authorized capital stock to 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share and are entitled to dividends as declared.

 

Dividends may be restricted by the inability to liquidate ownership interests in Partner Companies to fund cash dividends and may be subject to the preferential rights of the holders of the Company’s preferred stock, if any. No cash dividends have been declared to date and may not be declared for the foreseeable future.

13. Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)—(Continued)

 

The Company may establish one or more classes or series of preferred stock. The holders of the preferred stock may be entitled to preferences over common stockholders with respect to dividends, liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of theCompany, as established by the Company’s Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock were authorized; no shares have been issued.

 

Stockholder Rights Plan

 

During 2000, the Company enacted a stockholder rights plan. Under the stockholder rights plan, preferred stock purchase rights were distributed as a dividend at the rate of one right for each share of Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on December 6, 2000 and one right per share has been issued in connection with shares issued subsequent to such date. Each right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one ten-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock of the Company at an exercise price of $100 per right. The rights attached to the Company’s Common Stock are not currently exercisable. The rights become exercisable and will separate from the Common Stock (1) ten calendar days after a person or group acquires, or announces the intent to acquire, beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company’s Common Stock, or (2) ten business days (or a later date following such announcement if determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with the plan) after the announcement of a tender offer or an exchange offer to acquire 15% or more of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.

 

The rights are redeemable for $0.0001 per right at the option of the Company’s Board of Directors at any time prior to the close of business on the tenth business day after the announcement of a stock acquisition event described above. If not redeemed, the rights will expire on November 22, 2010. Prior to the date upon which the rights would become exercisable under the plan, the Company’s outstanding stock certificates will represent both the shares of Common Stock and the rights will trade only with the shares of common stock.

 

Generally, if the rights become exercisable, then each stockholder other than the acquirer is entitled to purchase, for the purchase price, that number of shares of Common Stock that, at the time of the transaction, will have a market value of three times the exercise price of the rights. In addition, if, after the rights become exercisable, the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination, or 50% or more of its assets or earning power are sold, each right will entitle the holder to purchase, at the exercise price of the rights, that number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company that, at the time of the transaction, will have a market value of three times the exercise price of the rights.

 

Common Stock Issued in Exchange for Convertible Debt

 

During 2003, the Company issued 147,059,515 shares of common stock in exchange for convertible debt. See Note 7.

 

From January 1, 2004 to March 9, 2004, the Company issued an additional 317,733,977 shares of common stock in exchange for convertible debt. See Note 7.

During 2003, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock in settlement of a lease obligation, valued at $0.6 million, 200,000 shares of common stock to members of its Boards of Directors, valued at $0.1 million and 120,000 shares of common stock for services, valued at $0.1 million.

 

14. Stock Option Plans

In 2004, the Company issued 665,649 shares of common stock to certain executive officers of the Company in payment of a portion of amounts due under the 2003 bonus plan. The common stock was valued at a total of $0.3 million.

 

In 2002 and 2001, the Company issued a total of 10,385,350 shares of restricted stock to employees that vested in 2002 and 2003. Recipients of restricted stock did not pay any cash consideration to the Company for the shares, had the right to vote all shares subject to such grant, and received all dividends with respect to such shares, whether or not the shares had vested. The value of the restricted stock at the date of grant of $1.2 million and $16.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, was recorded as deferred compensation. Compensation expense totaled $1.1 million, $4.5 million and $9.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, related to this restricted stock. During 2002, 2,204,155 shares of restricted stock were forfeited upon employee terminations with deferred compensation totaling $2.0 million being reversed. In 2004, the Company issued a total of 5,957,000 shares of restricted stock to employees that generally vest over four years with acceleration provisions based on certain operating metrics.

14. Stock Option Plans—(Continued)

 

In April through July 1999, the Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors authorized the acceptance of full recourse promissory notes totaling $79.8 million from certain employees and a director as consideration for exercising all or a portion of their vested and unvested stock options issued under the 1999 Plan (a total of 35,991,500 shares of common stock were issued in connection with these exercises). These notes receivable were recorded as a reduction of stockholders’ equity (deficit). The Company has the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase unvested shares under certain circumstances. The exercise of unvested options by the employees and director and the acceptance of promissory notes by the Company was in accordance with the terms of the Company’s equity compensation plans and related option agreements. The Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors also approved loaning employees the funds, under the terms of full recourse promissory notes, to pay the income taxes that became due in connection with the option exercises. The tax loans totaled approximately $8.1 million and were included in other assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Company had been accruing interest on these notes, which totaled approximately $5.4 million. During the fourth quarter of 2002, as the Company was reviewing the recoverability of these tax loans and interest receivable, it was determined that it was appropriate to record a provision for a possible loss in the amount of approximately $5.5 million relating to the tax loans and the interest receivable. This provision was included in selling, general and administrative expense on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations during the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

In March 2001, the Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the modification of certain of the promissory notes from full recourse to 25% recourse of the original loan principal, the modification of the interest rate on the notes to the applicable Federal rate as of the date of modification and extension of the term of the loan from five years to seven years. These modifications were communicated to eligible employees shortly after such approval and were documented during the course of 2001, with the final documents executed in December 2001. The Company also offered eligible employees the opportunity to receive accelerated vesting of restricted stock underlying the loans in exchange for extended vesting of stock options and/or restricted stock previously granted in 2001. The 2001 modifications to the notes resulted in accounting for the notes and underlying stock as options to purchase common stock. Accordingly, the remaining principal balances of the notes subject to the modifications of approximately $26.5 million were reclassified to additional paid-in capital at December 31, 2001. As of the modification date, these new options have been treated for accounting purposes as variable awards. The impact of these variable awards has not been significant through December 31, 2003.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company modified the loan recourse for certain stockholder loans for former employees who had been laid off in 2000 and 2001 from full recourse to 25% recourse of the original loan principal. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-23, “Issues Related to the Accounting for Stock Compensation under APB Opinion No. 25 and FASB Interpretation No. 44”, the Company recorded this modification as a treasury stock transaction for the repurchase of outstanding shares at the fair value of the stock underlying the notes (which was $0.6 million at the date of the modification). The principal balance of the notes of $4.3 million was reduced and compensation expense of $3.7 million was recorded for the amount of the note in excess of the repurchase amount.

 

During 2001 and 2002, the Company exercised its rights to repurchase a total of 11,763,650 shares of stock underlying the notes at cost in exchange for cancellation of the associated promissory notes totaling $30.8 million upon the termination of the employee noteholders.

At December 31, 2003, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $394 million that may be used to offset future taxable income. Approximately $62 million of these carry forwards are subject to significant limitations on their utilization due to ownership changes experienced by certain consolidated Partner Companies. Additional limitations on the utilization of these carry forwards may be imposed if the Company experiences a change in ownership. As a result of the convertible debt for equity exchanges (See Note 7) that were completed in 2004, an ownership change pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code has occurred. This annual limitation on the utilization of its net operating loss carryforwards will be approximately $13 million. These carry forwards expire between 2008 and 2022.

 

A valuation allowance has been provided for the Company’s net deferred tax asset as the Company believes, after evaluating all positive and negative evidence, historical and prospective, that it is more likely than not that these benefits will not be realized.

The Company provides strategic and operational support to its Partner Companies in the normal course of its business.

During 2003, the Company subleased a portion of its Wayne premises to Intrepid Capital Partners, LLC (“Intrepid”). A member of the Company’s Board of Directors is a Managing Director at Intrepid. The Company believes that its sublease with Intrepid was on terms no less favorable to the Company than those that were available to it in an arm’s length transaction with a third party. In 2003, Intrepid paid the Company $0.1 million in respect of the sublease.

 

The Company and an equity method Partner Company had a leased employment agreement with respect to one individual. The Company had receivables totaling less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million for reimbursement of services for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

The Company entered into various cost sharing arrangements with a stockholder, Safeguard Scientifics, Inc. during 2002 and 2001, whereby the Company reimbursed, under fair market terms, this stockholder for certain operational expenses. The amounts incurred for such items were $0.4 million and $0.6 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively. In 2003, this stockholder sold its shares in the Company and is no longer considered a related party.

19. Other Income—(Continued)

 

The Company’s share of net equity of its public partner companies changed as a result of the Partner Company issuing additional shares for acquisitions and other purposes. These increases/decreases adjusted the Company’s carrying values and resulted in non-operating gains/losses for the periods indicated in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy. The gains were principally from issuances of stock by Verticalnet and Universal Access in 2002 and 2001.

 

20. Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of the ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not materially affect the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

As of December 31, 2003, the Company has approximately $2.6 million of funding and guarantee commitments related to its partner companies. The full amount is scheduled to be funded in 2004.

 

The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries lease their facilities under operating lease agreements expiring 2004 through 2008. Future minimum lease payments as of December 31, 2003 under the leases are as follows (in thousands):

 

2004

   $ 9,237

2005

   $ 4,935

2006

   $ 1,090

2007

   $ 725

2008

   $ 717

2009 and thereafter

   $ 2,201

 

Rent expense under the noncancelable operating leases was $5.7 million in 2003, $6.8 million in 2002 and $7.3 million in 2001.

 

Included in the above lease agreements are leases regarding one Partner Company that leases equipment under non-cancelable operating leases expiring through February 2006 in which the Partner Company leases equipment and automobiles to lease to customers. When leasing on behalf of its customers, the Partner Company simultaneously enters into a lease with the vendor and a lease with the customer (“pass-through leases”). Pass-through lease income and expenses are recorded on a net basis as revenue in the accompanying statements of operations. The Partner Company had $5.2 million in future minimum pass-through leases, which expire in 2006.

 

Because many of its Partner Companies are not majority-owned subsidiaries, changes in the value of the Company’s interests in Partner Companies and the income or loss and revenue attributable to them could require the Company to register under the Investment Company Act unless it takes action to avoid being required to register. However, the Company believes it can take steps to avoid being required to register under the Investment Company Act, which would not adversely affect its operations or stockholder value.

 

If a certain consolidated Partner Company achieves a fair market value in excess of $1.0 billion, the Company will be obligated to pay, in cash or the Company’s common stock at the Company’s option, 4% of the Partner Company’s fair market value in excess of $1.0 billion, up to a maximum of $70 million of additional purchase price consideration to a venture capital firm. An executive officer of the Company was a limited partner of this venture capital firm. A member of our Board of Directors also has an interest in this venture capital firm. This contingent obligation expires on the earlier to occur of May 31, 2005 or an unaffiliated company sale if the valuation milestone is not achieved. Currently, the fair market value of this Partner Company is significantly below $1.0 billion.

ITEM 9A. Controls and Proced ures

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15e and 15d-15e under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered in this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable assurance that information required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the relevant SEC rules and forms.

 

It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

 

In addition, we reviewed our internal controls and, as of the end of the period covered in this report, there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those internal controls subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation.
