PART I

Business Overview

TenFold is the provider of EnterpriseTenFold^™ (formerly “Universal Application”), a software applications platform that reduces enterprise applications design, development, deployment, and maintenance timeframes and costs. EnterpriseTenFold automates most of what applications programmers typically do, and empowers small teams of business people and information technology (“IT”) professionals to design, build, test, deploy, and maintain complex, transaction-intensive applications, with significantly reduced demand on scarce IT resources as compared to other applications development approaches. Using a small team of business people supplemented with IT professionals for rapid applications development is a significant change from the industry-standard approach that relies on large teams of IT professionals who expend significant numbers of person years of effort to design, program, test, change, and deploy enterprise applications. We believe that with EnterpriseTenFold, customers get high-quality, complex enterprise applications into production faster and at significantly lower cost than with other applications development technologies.

We believe EnterpriseTenFold has two unique attributes that make building complex, database-intensive and transaction-intensive applications substantially cheaper, easier, and faster than traditional applications development methodologies. First, because EnterpriseTenFold automates most of what applications programmers typically do and automatically includes advanced applications functionality, we believe customers get more powerful, higher quality applications faster and at a fraction of the cost of traditional programming approaches. Second, since TenFold-powered applications development provides a tool and methodology that business people can effectively use, we believe it enables organizations to directly leverage their business experience and insight and to adapt applications easily to meet changing business requirements.

We believe EnterpriseTenFold offers three unique benefits to its customer.

Table of Contents

Our business model focuses on providing EnterpriseTenFold and our assistance through time-and-materials consulting, training, and support, to customers who use their own business teams and our services partners to build and maintain applications.

Business History

We founded TenFold in 1993. We spent the first several years primarily developing our patented EnterpriseTenFold technology. In 1996, we began using EnterpriseTenFold to build applications for customers. In 1999, we completed our initial public offering. In 1999 and early 2000, we tested a new business model which included selling large custom application development projects with a unique-in-the-industry “money-back guarantee”, and simultaneously structuring the company to launch and build on an accelerated time frame, eight separate vertical market facing applications product companies. Beginning in 2000, we experienced several difficult quarters and faced significant financial, legal, and operational issues. We incurred substantial, increasing losses from operations in the last three quarters of 2000, including a $55 million operating loss in the fourth quarter of 2000.

Starting in the second half of 2000 and continuing through today, we have taken steps to refocus TenFold to its roots as a software applications platform technology company, deal with the liabilities that arose as a result of the interim business model, and restore the company to sound business health.

During 2001, we refocused TenFold back to being a technology company. We consolidated operations into one corporate organization to reduce costs and improve our core delivery and operational infrastructure. We significantly reduced our operating costs through headcount reductions, lease renegotiations and terminations, and other cost-control measures. During 2001, we improved customer satisfaction and sold additional products and services to existing customers. We began promoting EnterpriseTenFold to customers desiring to use it to build applications. We suffered a setback following the events of September 11, 2001, after which we lost two of our largest customers and restructured TenFold again. In November 2001, we entered into an expanded relationship with Allstate Insurance Company (“Allstate”), which represented our first significant transaction under our new sales and business model.

During 2002, we continued our business turnaround and built the business and marketing foundation for our emergence as a growth technology company by continuing to meet customer expectations and establishing new EnterpriseTenFold sales and marketing channels. We made substantial improvements in our business positioning and operations as part of a comprehensive turnaround effort. We significantly reduced quarterly cash outflows with the goal of providing a cash flow positive basis for continuing operations by: renegotiating several major property leases thereby reducing immediate cash obligations and reducing our long-term obligations by over $51 million in the aggregate; retiring our entire bank debt by making payment of a substantially reduced amount; and, continuing operational restructuring to better align capacity with current cash flow. We continued to settle legacy litigation matters, bringing to a total of ten the number of disputes related to our interim business model that were satisfactorily settled without any admission of fault or payment by us except for the self-insurance retentions; entered into an agreement to settle a shareholder lawsuit that subsequently settled in 2003; and, concluded a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission without paying any fine or civil penalty or needing to restate our financial statements.

During 2002, we continued to reach important milestones with key customers. We provided EnterpriseTenFold technology and supporting services to 21 customers, 16 of whom have put EnterpriseTenFold-powered applications in production.

We made progress in establishing strategic distribution alliances and value added resellers (“VAR”) relationships that we believe will accelerate and broaden market distribution of EnterpriseTenFold for us at a significantly lower cost and greater speed than we could achieve on our own. During 2002, we entered into distribution relationships including:

Table of Contents

During 2002, we began to enter into VAR relationships around EnterpriseTenFold-powered applications. Under these VAR relationships:

As a consequence of these and other steps, our business performance during 2002 continued to improve as reflected in several key financial metrics, including that quarterly operating and net losses were changed from losses to profits for the fourth quarter of 2002 and we generated cash from operations in the fourth quarter of 2002.

2003 Highlights

In 2003, we continued to complete key steps of our business turnaround. In February 2003, we reached agreement with our two major equipment leasing vendors to buy out and retire their remaining equipment leasing debt of $2.9 million at a substantial discount. We have no further material equipment leases and no further bank debt. In September 2003, we settled a lease dispute with one of the landlords of our two unoccupied offices and restructured our payments beginning October 2003 and continuing through the remaining lease term. In October 2003, we completed negotiations with the other landlord on restructuring payment terms for the lease and have finalized the new arrangement.

In February 2003, we reached agreement with Fusion Capital to terminate an unused $10 million equity line. In February 2003, Robert W. Felton, a long-time TenFold director, made an investment of $700,000 in TenFold, by acquiring unregistered TenFold common stock.

In December 2003, we closed a private placement of 5 million shares of restricted common stock, with no warrants, which we sold at $2.00 per share (before related fees and expenses). This strengthened our balance sheet and provided an opportunity for a new group of investors to obtain a meaningful investment in TenFold.

During Q3 2003, we began shipping our first major new product (the single user PC version of EnterpriseTenFold), the output of our project, code named Tsunami, announced in Q4 2002. Launching Tsunami to redesign and rewrite customer-facing parts of TenFold technology was an important initiative of 2002. The Tsunami project makes a single-user version of our patented technology available over the internet. Tsunami includes a script that lets a person who so desires to follow that script both learn Tsunami and build an enterprise application in a few hours. During Q1 2003, we met our goal of releasing the Tsunami demonstration and we have conducted numerous demonstrations of Tsunami to audiences in many different cities. During Q2 2003, we met our goal of releasing beta copies of Tsunami for further testing. In September of 2003, we began shipping Tsunami without charge during its Beta program to any qualified person who wanted to try it.

On September 30, 2003, we announced the release of the next generation of our EnterpriseTenFold product. EnterpriseTenFold is a portable, multi-user applications development and deployment platform

that contains all Tsunami technologies, including the user-interface enhancements that enable a customer to use this technology productively with little training, as well as all prior EnterpriseTenFold technologies. We believe that EnterpriseTenFold introduces to the industry an innovative capability to automatically produce complete applications documentation that matches the application, at any time, at the click of a mouse. EnterpriseTenFold adds multiple forms of XML support, Web services, Citrix MetaFrame support, Sun Java Virtual Machine support, performance improvements for browser-based applications, and many more features described in detailed, accompanying EnterpriseTenFold ReleaseNotes. We believe that EnterpriseTenFold also significantly improves browser performance.

We have continued to build sales and marketing processes to support our emergence as a growth technology company through three complementary sales and marketing related initiatives.

Customers using TenFold-powered applications in production today include, among others, Abbey National Bank, Allstate Insurance, Barclays Global Investors, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Deutsche Bank, Dresdner Bank, Franklin Templeton, iplan networks, JP Morgan Chase, MedCath, Rand Technology, and Trinity. One customer has two separate TenFold-powered applications in production. Specific customer updates include:

During 2003, we earned revenues from 26 customers. Some of our customers accounted for more than 10 percent of our annual revenues. Allstate accounted for 41 percent, JP Morgan Chase accounted for 25 percent, and Sapient accounted for 23 percent of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003. Allstate accounted for 63 percent and JP Morgan Chase accounted for 12 percent of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002. Bonneville Power Administration accounted for 27 percent, Abbey National accounted for 16 percent, and Allstate accounted for 11 percent of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Revenues from operations outside of North America were 29 percent of total revenues for 2003, 17 percent of total revenues for 2002, and 28 percent of total revenues for 2001. Revenues from operations in the United Kingdom were 29 percent of total revenues for 2003, 9 percent of total revenues for 2002, and 22 percent of total revenues for 2001. Revenues from operations in Argentina were 0.5 percent of total revenues for 2003, 8 percent of total revenues for 2002, and 6 percent of total revenues for 2001.

Industry Challenge

Organizations worldwide face increasing pressure to replace their legacy enterprise applications and introduce new applications as they seek to increase productivity, cut costs, introduce new products and services, address changing regulatory and competitive demands, and access new technology. But, organizations face daunting odds of failure because traditional processes for building, integrating, and deploying complex applications is costly and risky. Consequently, many organizations continue to make substantial investments to maintain legacy applications that inadequately meet current needs and do not address new business requirements. To obtain new or replacement applications, companies choose between buying a packaged software application or building a custom software application.

Organizations generally turn to independent software vendors, such as Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) vendors or vertical software vendors, when seeking packaged applications. In general, packaged applications promise predictable quality and relatively quick implementation. However, packaged applications frequently require that an organization adapt its business practices to the software; ERP systems generally fail to address specific industry problems, such as patient management or securities lending; often cost considerably more than planned to implement; and, once installed, are difficult to modify to adapt to changing business needs. In addition, when an organization chooses the costly and time-consuming path of customizing a packaged application, cost and risk rise rapidly and the organization is generally inhibited from future opportunities to upgrade the packaged application when subsequent new releases are available.

Table of Contents

Alternatively, organizations can build custom applications, either internally or with third parties. This approach promises them the functionality, flexibility, and fit they seek, but custom applications development carries a high risk of failure, with most projects exceeding budgets and schedules, and with many projects being cancelled prior to implementation due to time delays, budget overruns, and functional or technical deficiencies. Companies often hire software integration or services firms to build and implement mission-critical applications. These firms generally engage a large number of consultants who may remain on-site for years, and may exceed budgets and schedules without producing significantly better results than internal development organizations. In addition, these firms typically do not offer ongoing product enhancements because they build custom solutions for a single customer.

Applications development projects fail because the process of building complex applications with conventional tools and approaches is very complicated and labor intensive. Designing, programming, testing, integrating, and deploying complex applications can be difficult, take a long time, be expensive, and tie up scarce IT resources. This high cost and high risk is in stark contrast to the business need for new applications that address current business practices and can be adapted quickly and easily to meet the evolving business requirements of a dynamic, highly competitive business environment.

TenFold Technology and Products

We believe TenFold’s patented EnterpriseTenFold presents a significantly new approach to applications development. We believe that this approach reduces applications development and maintenance cost and time in two ways: first, by automating tedious, time-consuming, error-prone tasks that programmers would generally do; and, second, by providing an applications development tool and methodology that lets business people actively participate in applications development. We believe that EnterpriseTenFold enables organizations to directly leverage their business experience and insight and to adapt applications easily to meet changing business requirements.

Table of Contents

EnterpriseTenFold has three key innovations that make designing, building, testing, deploying, and maintaining an application completely different from traditional programming-oriented technologies:

These EnterpriseTenFold innovations work together to automate tedious, repetitive, and error-prone tasks like writing SQL, Java, C++, or VisualBasic code. We believe that automating tedious programming tasks lets applications developers focus their intellect and energy on solving the business problem instead of fighting technology problems.

We believe this revolutionary EnterpriseTenFold approach has important implications:

10

Table of Contents

The EnterpriseTenFold value proposition provides three major benefits – Speed, Quality, and Power – to its customers. Speed. EnterpriseTenFold makes building complex applications faster than other technologies so projects can be finished in months, not years. Quality. EnterpriseTenFold addresses eleven key attributes of quality applications. Since TenFold RenderingEngine renders an application from its description, tedious, error-prone, programming-like tasks are avoided in building or enhancing a TenFold-powered application. Thus the quality of the application is excellent. Power. EnterpriseTenFold renders an application from its description and automatically includes considerable, rich built-in functionality in the application. Interestingly, complex feature requirements, which traditionally generate complexity and a high likelihood of project failure, add little incremental cost to TenFold applications development. Just as a spreadsheet requiring more-complex formulas is not significantly more costly to build than one with only simple formulas.

EnterpriseTenFold has been in development more than 10 years, contains more than 2.5 million lines of C and C++ code, and is covered by three issued U.S. patents. We believe that with EnterpriseTenFold, business people or applications developers with little or no traditional programming skills can collaborate with IT professionals to build and maintain an application by describing the application without needing to program in C, C++, Java, HTML, Structured Query Language (“SQL”) or other programming languages and without the need to do other programming-like tasks such as designing screens and writing technical designs.

We believe EnterpriseTenFold delivers these benefits:

In addition to the above benefits, EnterpriseTenFold has many distinguishing advanced features. The following is a partial listing of these features:

11

Table of Contents

EnterpriseTenFold is composed of components for developing, executing, integrating, and configuring applications.

Developing an Application. TenFoldTools provides a sophisticated user interface that lets applications developers describe an application without traditional programming activities. Business people or other applications developers describe the database that the application manages, transactions that business end-users use to do each end-user activity, and rules that control transaction behavior. TenFoldTools includes an application, named TenFold Librarian, itself a TenFold-powered application, that applications developers use to describe their application. TenFold AutoTest uses patented techniques to simplify and automate functional, performance, scalability and regression testing. TenFold Reporter and TenFoldAnalyzer let business people define their own reports and real-time data analysis. These applications development tools store the description of their applications objects in a relational database called TenFold Dictionary.

Executing an Application. TenFold RenderingEngine is an executable program, generally deployed in various configurations on multiple client and server computers, that reads an applications description from TenFold Dictionary and runs as that application. TenFold RenderingEngine has these four major components:

12

Table of Contents

Integrating an Application. EnterpriseTenFold integration tools connect a TenFold-powered application to other applications, both within a company and at its customers and suppliers. Whether exchanging files, directly accessing another database, or using real-time messaging, integration developers codelessly describe the path that data follows to interface with typically-inflexible legacy or third party applications. Applications developers can convert and cleanse data during its passage to or from a TenFold-powered application.

Configuring an Application. EnterpriseTenFold supports leading relational databases, server operating systems, client operating systems, Web servers and browsers, and communications systems. EnterpriseTenFold is highly configurable so that it can distribute components of EnterpriseTenFold RenderingEngine across many computers to provide n-tier processing or run on a single computer. Configuration options let customers tune performance and scalability by configuring EnterpriseTenFold to match underlying hardware and software environment. EnterpriseTenFold design simplifies adding support for additional technologies to respond to customer needs and emerging new technology market changes.

TenFold ComponentWare

TenFold ComponentWare is a family of pre-written applications components that easily plug into EnterpriseTenFold to extend its functionality without programming. For example, PowerBilling provides a robust suite of billing transactions, engines, and features. PowerAccounting makes it easy to include accounting-system integration to application descriptions.

13

Table of Contents

Customer and Technical Support

We provide our customers who purchase support services with new releases of EnterpriseTenFold as new releases become available and various levels of on-site and telephone support.

Competition

The competitive landscape for new and legacy-replacement enterprise applications is split among the options available to corporations today. These options are:

Status quo

TenFold’s largest competitor is “status quo.” Corporations continually wrestle with the issue of when to take on the challenge of building strategic new applications or attempting to retire and replace “legacy” applications. In recent years, most companies chose to invest large amounts of money to maintain legacy applications rather than replace them. Remaining with the status quo results in: continuously increasing costs as maintenance on top of maintenance gets harder; acceptance of barely adequate applications; limitations on lowering costs; limitations to embracing new technologies; and, difficulty in adding products or expanding markets. Status quo postpones the inevitable replacement of the application.

Buy a Packaged Application (with or without modification)

Many corporations prefer to obtain an off-the-shelf application from ERP or vertical packaged software vendors. Corporations license software packages to limit the risks associated with new software development projects. However, packaged applications force corporations to conform their business problems to the packaged solution, often with a poor fit. Corporations can modify a packaged application to solve their business problems, but such blended solutions are expensive, slow to implement, and suffer from poor integration.

Buying packaged applications is not a viable solution for replacing most legacy applications for most customers in most industries, as reasonable-fit packaged applications don’t exist.

14

Table of Contents

Build New Applications

When companies contemplate building their own applications on their own or with help, TenFold competes primarily with suppliers of traditional programming technologies and development tools. Internal IT organizations and third party consulting firms frequently use tools from Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, BEA, Computer Associates, and others.

Programming languages such as COBOL, C, and C++ perform well and scale well, but require extraordinarily large project teams to spend multiple years to complete projects. Such projects generally run over budget in time and dollars and frequently fail. Visual Basic, SmallTalk, and other personal computer technologies support rapid applications development and improved productivity for smaller projects, but do not scale to support large numbers of end-users.

Today’s emerging technologies include Java, other component-enabling technologies (COM, DCOM, ActiveX, .NET, et cetera), and Java-related technologies intending to make Java viable for complex applications (J2EE, EJB, et cetera). Emerging technologies, all of which rely on programmers, have not significantly reduced the time and cost of large applications development at this time. Using such technologies for very large, complex applications development projects is likely to result in continued high failure rates for applications build projects since longer projects and large numbers of programmers on a project increase risk of failure exponentially according to most industry pundits.

Patents, Intellectual Property Rights and Licensing

We rely primarily on a combination of patent, copyright, trade secret and trademark laws, and nondisclosure and other contractual restrictions on copying and distribution to protect our proprietary technology. We have received three separate patents in the United States. The first patent (US Patent # 6016394) relates to EnterpriseTenFold. The second (US Patent # 6016643) relates to TenFold AutoTest, our automated testing technology. The third patent (US Patent # 6301701) relates to our computer-assisted testing of software application components. We have one pending U.S. patent and have additional patents and pending patent applications in other countries. Our trademark portfolio contains 11 U.S. trademark registrations, 27 trademarks registered in other countries and 15 pending applications in the U.S. and other countries.

In addition, as part of our confidentiality procedures, we enter into nondisclosure agreements with our employees, customers, consultants, and corporate partners, and limit access to and distribution of our software, documentation, and other proprietary information. We retain ownership of EnterpriseTenFold, TenFold ComponentWare, and the EnterpriseTenFold Integrator. Under our prior business model we generally retained ownership of the applications products that we developed for customers; however, we allowed a small number of customers to own rights to the applications we developed for them. In some cases, our contracts obligate us to pay royalties on future sales of specific applications, or prohibit us from licensing applications for specified periods of time or to specified third parties.

For information concerning risks associated with intellectual property rights, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Factors That May Affect Future Results and Market Price of Stock.”

Research and Development

Our technology development organization consists of teams of development engineers and product managers. These teams use a “documentation-centric” development process that includes planning and documenting deliverables in advance, adhering to coding standards, and performing nightly regression tests of all technology. We continuously monitor quality, analyze the root-cause of defects, report daily and weekly status, and regularly communicate individual and team performance and adherence to schedule and functionality requirements.

15

Table of Contents

Our development infrastructure and processes produce documentation, quality assurance, platform certification, release management, and delivery capabilities (in addition to design and implementation functions) for our technology and products. Developers use TenFold AutoTest – our patented integrated testing technology – to perform nightly regression tests on all products, components, and technologies under development or modification. Developers use DocuManage, our web-based documentation management and reference system, to access and maintain product documentation.

Our development organization regularly produces new versions and releases of our EnterpriseTenFold technology. In addition to quality improvements and enhancements for new EnterpriseTenFold releases, our development organization completed our major new Tsunami product during 2003.

Research and development expenses were $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, and $12.7 million in 2001. As of December 31, 2003, we had 23 research and development staff. We intend to continue to make investments in research and development to maintain and enhance EnterpriseTenFold, EnterpriseTenFold integration tools, and TenFold ComponentWare.

Employees

As of December 31, 2003, we had 67 employees, including 24 in applications development, training and support, 23 in research and development, 7 in sales and marketing, and 13 in finance, administrative, and information technology support functions. During the year ended December 31, 2003, our average headcount was 66. None of our employees is represented by a labor union or a collective bargaining agreement and most are at-will employees.

Acquisition and Sale of Subsidiaries

On October 19, 2002, we sold the entire equity interest in our wholly owned subsidiary, TenFold Systems UK Limited, to the management of that subsidiary. Accordingly, the operations of TenFold Systems UK Limited have been included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for TenFold for all periods presented through October 19, 2002. We have previously distributed and supported our products in the United Kingdom through TenFold Systems UK Limited. Under the terms of this transaction, youDevise Limited (formerly TenFold Systems UK Limited) will continue to distribute TenFold products in the United Kingdom and provide local support to its customers. We will provide support for EnterpriseTenFold to youDevise Limited and will share with youDevise Limited revenues from existing and future youDevise Limited customers.

On September 30, 1999, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Barclays California Corporation (“BarCal”) under which we purchased the entire equity interest of BarCal in its wholly owned subsidiary, The LongView Group, Inc. (“LongView”). On October 7, 1999, the acquisition was closed. On March 15, 2001, we sold LongView for $29.0 million to Linedata Services (“Linedata”). Accordingly, the operations of LongView have been included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations from the acquisition through March 15, 2001. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

TenFold currently owns no real property. Below is a description of our leased property and the status of each facility at March 1, 2004:

We conduct much of our operations from our principal executive office located near Salt Lake City, Utah where we lease 22,310 square feet under a lease that expires in September 2007. Our staff currently work at this office, at our San Francisco office, at customer sites, or from home offices. During 2004, we do not presently anticipate needing material additional office space.

During the year ended December 31, 2003, we were, at times, in default of our Irving office lease and our now expired lease for our former Dallas office, for overdue lease payments. During September 2003, we settled a dispute with our Dallas landlord and agreed to make restructured payments beginning October 1, 2003 and continuing through the remaining term of the lease, which expired in January 2004. During November 2003, we similarly amended our Irving lease to restructure our payments and agreed to make payments beginning November 26, 2003 and continuing through the remaining term of the lease. At December 31, 2003, we were current on our payments under these leases and no longer in default.

During 2002, we completed a series of agreements with various landlords that eliminated a total of approximately $51 million of long-term lease obligations. This included terminating office leases in Chicago, Illinois; Draper, Utah; Foster City, California; and San Francisco, California; and negotiating a termination of the unoccupied portions of our South Jordan, Utah headquarters lease reducing the square footage leased from 105,068 to 22,310 square feet, reducing the term from 11 years to 5 years, and reducing the rental rate per square foot.

During 2001, we closed offices in Atlanta, Georgia; Foster City, California; Irving, Texas; New York, New York; Park Ridge, New Jersey; and Raleigh, North Carolina. We subsequently terminated the Atlanta, Georgia lease, and subsequently subleased approximately 15,404 sq. feet of the lease in Irving, Texas. We also canceled an expansion requirement in Chicago, Illinois that would have commenced on October 1, 2001.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

The following table provides the information about our common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of options and rights under all of our existing equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2003, including the 1993 Flexible Stock Incentive Plan, the 1999 Stock Plan, the 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and the 2000 Employee Stock Option Plan.

2000 Employee Stock Option Plan. Our 2000 Employee Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors in December 2000. A total of 7,000,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the 2000 Stock Option Plan. The 2000 Stock Option Plan provides for the granting of nonstatutory options to purchase shares of our common stock to employees, excluding officers and members of our Board of Directors. Nonstatutory options do not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The 2000 Employee Stock Option Plan is administered by the Board of Directors. The plan administrator determines the terms of options granted under the 2000 Stock Option Plan, including the number of shares subject to an option, the exercise price, the term and exercisability of options, and any vesting or other restrictions that apply to awards. The 2000 Stock Option Plan allows us to issue options with an exercise price equal to any price determined appropriate by the administrator. To date, all options issued under the 2000 Stock Option Plan have had exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option was granted. The plan allows for payment of the exercise price with cash, check, promissory note, or other shares of TenFold common stock, through a brokered cashless exercise program, or with any other form of consideration permitted by the administrator.

Options issued under the 2000 Stock Option Plan generally vest over a four-year period and expire ten years from the date of grant. However, in December 2000, we granted 6,525,800 options under the 2000 Stock Option Plan that vested over a three-year period. 5,758,346 of these options have been cancelled, 48,217 have been exercised, and 719,237 of these options remain outstanding.

The 2000 Stock Option Plan provides for automatic adjustment of shares remaining available for issuance as well as adjustment of outstanding awards in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, or similar change in our capital structure. In the event we were to be acquired by a third-party acquiror, we

22

Table of Contents

would expect that outstanding options would be assumed by our acquiror so that they would convert into awards to purchase acquiror stock (adjusted to reflect the terms of the transaction). If our acquiror did not agree to assume outstanding awards, then the vesting of such awards would accelerate in full prior to the closing of the acquisition and unexercised awards would terminate upon the closing. Unless terminated earlier, the 2000 Stock Plan will terminate in December 2010.

Our unregistered stock sales during 2003 are as follows:

Business Overview

TenFold is the provider of EnterpriseTenFold^™ (formerly “Universal Application”), a software applications platform that reduces enterprise applications design, development, deployment, and maintenance timeframes and costs. EnterpriseTenFold automates most of what applications programmers typically do, and empowers small teams of business people and IT professionals to design, build, test, deploy, and maintain complex, transaction-intensive applications, with significantly reduced demand on scarce IT resources as compared to other applications development approaches. Using a small team of business people supplemented with IT professionals for rapid applications development is a significant change from the industry-standard approach that relies on large teams of IT professionals who expend significant numbers of person years of effort to design, program, test, change, and deploy enterprise applications. We believe that with EnterpriseTenFold, customers get high-quality, complex enterprise applications into production faster and at significantly lower cost than with other applications development technologies.

We believe EnterpriseTenFold has two unique attributes that make building complex, database-intensive and transaction-intensive applications substantially cheaper, easier, and faster than traditional applications development methodologies. First, because EnterpriseTenFold automates most of what applications programmers typically do and automatically includes advanced applications functionality, we believe customers get more powerful, higher quality applications faster and at a fraction of the cost of traditional programming approaches. Second, since TenFold-powered applications development provides a tool and methodology that business people can effectively use, we believe it enables organizations to directly leverage their business experience and insight and to adapt applications easily to meet changing business requirements.

Our business model focuses on providing EnterpriseTenFold and our assistance through time-and-materials consulting, training, and support, to customers who use their own business teams and our services partners to build and maintain applications.

Critical Accounting Policies

The fundamental objective of financial reporting is to provide useful information that allows a reader to comprehend our business activities. To aid in that understanding, management has identified the “critical accounting policies” below. These policies have the potential to have a more significant impact on our financial statements, either because of the significance of the financial statement item to which they relate, or because they require judgment and estimation due to the uncertainty involved in measuring, at a specific point in time, events which are continuous in nature.

Revenue Recognition and Project Profitability

We believe risks relating to revenue recognition primarily include the judgment required to determine project profit or loss projections on time-and-material contracts. We recognize time-and-materials revenue at the lowest point in the range of estimated profit margin, which represents our best estimate of the profit to be achieved. Variances may occur if we are unable to collect time-and-material billings or if we grant concessions to time-and-material customers in order to sell additional business or collect cash under the contract. These variances between management’s estimate of the lowest point in the range of estimated profit margin and actual results may result in a significant adjustment to our results of operations and financial position.

Previously, risks relating to revenue recognition also included the judgment required to determine fixed-price project completion percentages, fixed-price project profit or loss projections, and forecasting of fixed-price project end-dates. However, during the year ended December 31, 2002 we converted our

26

Table of Contents

remaining on-going legacy fixed-price contracts to time-and-materials arrangements. As a result, we have no significant on-going fixed-price contracts at December 31, 2003.

Litigation Reserves

We review asserted litigation claims each quarter to determine the likelihood that the claim will result in a loss. Significant management judgment is required to conclude on the likely outcome of outstanding litigation. If a loss is probable on a litigation claim, management estimates the loss and we accrue the estimated loss. If a loss is considered probable but cannot be reasonably estimated, we disclose the contingency in the notes to our financial statements. Losses may result on litigation claims that are not considered probable or are not estimable at the current time, potentially having a significant impact on future financial results.

Restructuring Charges

We recognize restructuring charges consistent with EITF 94-3, prior to January 1, 2003 and consistent with SFAS 146 beginning on January 1, 2003. For amounts accrued at December 31, 2002, we reduce current charges for abandoned facilities with sublease income. Management analyzes current market conditions including current lease rates in the respective geographic regions, vacancy rates, and costs associated with subleasing when evaluating the reasonableness of future sublease income. Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in calculating future sublease income. Variances between expected and actual sublease income have previously and may continue to result in restructuring charge adjustments in future periods.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the percentage relationship of selected items from TenFold’s statements of operations to total revenues.

2003 as Compared to 2002

Revenues

Total revenues decreased $521,000, or 2 percent, to $27.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to $28.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002.

27

Table of Contents

License revenues increased $41,000, or 20 percent, to $248,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to $207,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in license revenues is due to some recent small new license sales.

Subscription revenues decreased $5.1 million, or 33 percent, to $10.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to $15.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Subscription revenues represent revenue from contracts that include a subscription to new product releases on a “when and if available” basis. For certain contracts, including a subscription to future software products when and if they become available, we recognize the fees for the software products ratably over the subscription term beginning with delivery of the first software product. For contracts that include a service element for which the fair value is undeterminable, and the contract includes a subscription to new product releases on a “when and if available basis,” we recognize the entire contract fee ratably over the subscription period as subscription revenue. The decrease in subscription revenues is due to the completion of the amortization of our deferred subscription revenues during the second quarter of 2003, when our existing subscription contracts reached the end of their subscription periods.

Service and other revenues increased $4.5 million, or 37 percent, to $17.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to $12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Service and other revenues increased in part due to providing a higher volume of time-and-material services during 2003 as compared to 2002. Services and other revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003 also include $1.5 million from the reduction over time of a guarantee on one contract as described in more detail below under Guarantees, and $600,000 recognized upon completion of training obligations associated with a contract signed in 2002.

Revenues from operations outside of North America were 29 percent of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to 17 percent in 2002. The 2003 and 2002 revenues from operations outside of North America were attributable to four customers. Revenues from operations in the United Kingdom were 29 percent of total revenues for 2003, and 9 percent of total revenues for 2002. The increase in percent on total revenues from the United Kingdom during 2003 is primarily due to a large consulting project we commenced in November 2002 and have underway in the United Kingdom where we are working with our global systems integrator partner, Sapient, and with our UK reseller, youDevise Limited, to provide expertise and consulting services to support Sapient’s GBS implementation project for Vertex. Revenues from operations in Argentina were 0.5 percent of total revenues for 2003, and 8 percent of total revenues for 2002. At December 31, 2003, all of TenFold’s long-lived assets are deployed in the United States.

Three customers accounted for 41 percent, 25 percent and 23 percent of our total revenues for 2003, compared to two customers accounting for 63 percent and 12 percent of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002. No other single customer accounted for more than 10 percent of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003 or 2002. The customer accounting for 41% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003 is not expected to account for a significant percentage of ongoing revenues since the subscription period for the customer’s prior contract concluded along with it’s purchase of time-and-materials consulting services, and technical support.

We believe that period to period comparisons between license, subscription, and services revenues are not necessarily indicative of future performance given the nature of our product and services offerings and the relative emphasis we apply to these offerings in any given period.

We continue to actively seek sales to new customers. However, we continue to face a challenging sales environment, and it is unclear when we can expect to achieve significant sales to new customers.

Operating Expenses

Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues consists primarily of compensation and other related costs of personnel and contractors to provide applications development and implementation, support, and training services. Cost of revenues decreased $3.5 million, or 27 percent, to $9.5 million for the year ended December

28

Table of Contents

31, 2003, as compared to $13.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The decreases were primarily due to a smaller number of personnel working on customer projects, and support and training activities.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation, travel, and other related expenses for sales and marketing personnel, as well as advertising and other marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses decreased $897,000, or 45 percent, to $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The decreases in sales and marketing expenses were primarily due to having fewer sales and marketing employees in 2003.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation and other related costs of personnel dedicated to research and development activities. Research and development expenses decreased $2.7 million, or 44 percent, to $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Research and development expenses decreased due primarily to having fewer research and development employees in 2003.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of allowances for doubtful accounts, the costs of executive management, finance and administrative staff, business insurance, and professional fees. General and administrative expenses decreased $4.8 million, or 61 percent, to $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. General and administrative expenses decreased due primarily to having a smaller scale of operations and fewer general and administrative employees, voluntary executive compensation reductions, lower legal expenses from the settlement of legal matters, and reduced financing related expenses in 2003.

Special Charges. Special charges for the year ended December 31, 2003 of $(673,000) include restructuring charge adjustments of $(578,000) and asset loss impairment adjustments of ($95,000). Special charges for the year ended December 31, 2002 of $2.8 million include restructuring charges of $2.0 million and $851,000 of asset impairment charges.

Asset Impairment Charges. During year ended December 31, 2003, we recorded asset loss provision adjustments of $(95,000) to eliminate remaining estimated asset loss accruals that were no longer necessary upon our completing the return of previously leased equipment.

During year ended December 31, 2002, we identified $851,000 of fixed assets that had no future value to us and were no longer in active use, and accordingly recorded an asset impairment charge of $851,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002. This charge included the impairment of the leased equipment assets that we returned to our two major equipment lessors pursuant to agreements reached with these lessors subsequent to December 31, 2002, under which we bought out and fully retired the related equipment lease debt and returned substantially all the related equipment.

Restructuring Charges. During the year ended December 31, 2003, we recorded restructuring charge adjustments of $(578,000) to reduce previously accrued restructuring charges for negotiated reductions in remaining lease payments due for unoccupied properties, and to reflect higher sublease income received than previously estimated.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, we incurred restructuring charges of $2.0 million, including $1.1 million, related to termination of the unoccupied portions of our South Jordan Utah headquarters lease, and $836,000, related to adjustments made to prior restructuring estimates. The termination of the unoccupied portions of the South Jordan lease reduced the square footage leased from 105,068 to 22,310 square feet, reduced the term from 11 years to 5 years, and reduced the rental rate per square foot. This reduced our total base rent obligations (before operating expenses) under this lease by approximately $19 million over the term of the lease. As part of this transaction, we released to the landlord $1.5 million previously held as restricted cash to support these leases. The restructuring charge of $1.1 million is comprised of a charge of $1.5 million for release of the restricted cash, less the reversal of a prior rent accrual of $400,000 no longer needed under the terms of the restructured lease. The adjustments to prior restructuring estimates primarily resulted from higher facilities lease

29

Table of Contents

termination payments, and lower revised estimates of future facilities sublease income payments (in part due to the default of one of our subtenants), than previously estimated.

We determined our restructuring charges in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3 (“EITF 94-3”) and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 100 (“SAB 100”). EITF 94-3 and SAB 100 require that we commit to an exit plan before we accrue employee termination costs and exit costs.

Restructuring reserves are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2003. Detail of the restructuring charges as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003 are summarized below (in thousands):

We have estimated future sublease income which reduces future facility related charges, including lease obligations. We considered current market conditions including current lease rates in the respective geographic regions, vacancy rates, and costs associated with subleasing when estimating future sublease income. Variances between expected and actual sublease income have previously and may continue to result in restructuring charge adjustments in future periods.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2003, we reduced some variable compensation accrued during the first half of 2003, to lower levels that we believe better reflect our estimates due to our financial performance and cash position for 2003 as a whole. This reduced operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2003 by $550,000.

Total Other Income (Expense), net

Net total other income was $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Net total other income for the year ended December 31, 2003 included a gain of $2.2 million that we recognized on the retirement of capital lease obligations at a significant discount to their carrying value. Net total other income for the year ended December 31, 2002 included a gain of $2.4 million that we recognized on the retirement of debt, and a loss of $279,000 on our sale of TenFold Systems UK Limited on October 19, 2002. Interest income decreased for 2003 as compared to 2002 due to lower cash and cash equivalent balances in 2003. Interest expense decreased for 2003 as compared to 2002 due to lower notes payable and obligations under capital lease balances in 2003.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $32,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to a benefit of $497,000 for 2002. The provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2003 relates primarily to foreign taxes. The net income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2002, relates primarily to reversing accrued Federal alternative minimum taxes from 2001 due to tax legislation enacted in 2002. No tax benefit was recorded during 2002 for TenFold’s net operating losses.

At December 31, 2003, we had established a valuation allowance of $38.0 million for the net deferred tax assets related to temporary differences, foreign tax credit carryforwards and projected net operating loss carryforwards. The valuation allowance was recorded in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires that a valuation allowance be established when there is significant uncertainty as to the realizability of the deferred tax assets. Based on a number of factors, including the size of the prior operating losses, the

30

Table of Contents

currently available, objective evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Balance Sheet Items

Cash and cash equivalents. We had cash and cash equivalents of $12.2 million at December 31, 2003 compared to $3.8 million at December 31, 2002. The increase was primarily due to the proceeds from the private placement we completed in December 2003. See Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Other current assets and other current liabilities We had other current assets of $10,000 at December 31, 2003 compared to $2.1 million at December 31, 2002. We had other current liabilities of $0 at December 31, 2003 compared to $2.0 million at December 31, 2002. The changes in other current assets and other current liabilities were primarily due to our removing a previously accrued other receivable and a previously accrued other liability related to a litigation matter, as a result of the dismissal of the case. See Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Deferred revenues We had deferred revenues of $7.6 million at December 31, 2003 compared to $20.3 million at December 31, 2002. The decrease was primarily a result of our recognizing as revenues the remaining previously deferred subscription revenues from our existing subscription contracts as these contracts reached the end of their subscription periods during the quarter ended June 30, 2003. We had a deferred revenue balance of $7.6 million at December 31, 2003 that we expect to recognize as revenues in future periods, but the timing of recognition is uncertain. As a result, we do not expect to recognize revenues or profits from deferred revenues during 2004 at the same levels that we experienced during 2003.

Current installments of obligations under capital leases We had current installments of obligations under capital leases of $0 at December 31, 2003 compared to $3.0 million at December 31, 2002. The decrease was primarily the result of completing agreements with our two major equipment lessors to buy out and fully retire their equipment lease debt at a substantial discount, and return substantially all the related equipment.

2002 as Compared to 2001

Revenues

Total revenues decreased $26.7 million, or 49 percent, to $28.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $54.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in revenues is primarily due to the completion or cancellation of various fixed-price build projects in 2001.

License revenues decreased $8.3 million, or 98 percent, to $207,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in license revenues is primarily due to the completion or cancellation of fixed-price build projects in 2001, under which the licenses were recognized as costs were incurred on the build projects, and due to license fees in subscription contracts being recognized as subscription revenue.

Subscription revenues were $15.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $689,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. Subscription revenues represent revenue from contracts that include a subscription to new product releases on a “when and if available” basis. For certain contracts, including a subscription to future software products when and if they become available, we recognize the fees for the software products ratably over the subscription term beginning with delivery of the first software product. For contracts that include a service element for which the fair value is undeterminable, and the contract includes a subscription to new product releases on a “when and if available basis,” we recognize the entire contract fee ratably over the subscription period as subscription revenue. The increase in subscription revenues is primarily due to the fact that we did not have a subscription contract prior to the fourth quarter of 2001.

31

Table of Contents

Service and other revenues decreased $33.2 million, or 73 percent, to $12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $45.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Service and other revenues decreased due to the completion or cancellation of various fixed-price build projects in 2001, and due to time-and-material revenue from our largest customer being recognized as subscription revenue.

Revenues from operations outside of North America were 17 percent of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to 28 percent in 2001. The 2002 and 2001 revenues from operations outside of North America was attributable to four customers. Revenues from operations in the United Kingdom were 9 percent of total revenue for 2002, and 22 percent of total revenue for 2001. Revenues from operations in Argentina were 8 percent of total revenue for 2002, and 6 percent of total revenue for 2001. At December 31, 2002, all of TenFold’s long-lived assets were deployed in the United States.

Two customers accounted for 63 percent and 12 percent of our total revenues for 2002, compared to three customers accounting for 27 percent, 16 percent and 11 percent of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001. No other single customer accounted for more than 10 percent of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 or 2001.

We believe that period to period comparisons between license, subscription, and services revenues are not necessarily indicative of future performance given the nature of our product and services offerings and the relative emphasis we apply to these offerings in any given period.

Operating Expenses

Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues consists primarily of compensation and other related costs of personnel to provide applications development and implementation, support, and training services. Cost of revenues decreased $18.0 million, or 58 percent, to $13.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $31.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decreases were primarily due to a smaller number of employees working on customer projects, and support and training activities.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation, travel, and other related expenses for sales and marketing personnel, as well as advertising and other marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses decreased $3.6 million, or 64 percent, to $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decreases in sales and marketing expenses were primarily due to having fewer sales and marketing employees in 2002.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation and other related costs of personnel dedicated to research and development activities. Research and development expenses decreased $6.4 million, or 51 percent, to $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Research and development expenses decreased due primarily to having fewer research and development employees in 2002.

General and administrative expenses decreased $3.3 million, or 30 percent, to $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $11.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Special Charges. Special charges for the year ended December 31, 2002 of $ 2.8 million include restructuring charges of $2.0 million and $851,000 of asset impairment charges. Special charges for the year ended December 31, 2001 of $18.9 million include $10.1 million of asset impairment charges, and $8.8 million of restructuring charges.

Asset Impairment Charges. During year ended December 31, 2002, We identified $851,000 of fixed assets that had no future value to us and were no longer in active use, and accordingly recorded an asset impairment charge of $851,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002. This charge included the impairment of the leased equipment assets that we returned to our two major equipment lessors pursuant to agreements reached with these lessors subsequent to December 31, 2002, under which we bought out and fully retired the related equipment lease debt and returned substantially all the related equipment.

During the year ended December 31, 2001, we restructured our operations to reduce operating expenses. As part of the restructuring, we closed or planned to close excess facilities in Atlanta, Georgia; Chicago, Illinois; Foster City, California; Irving, Texas; New York, New York; Park Ridge, New Jersey; Raleigh, North Carolina; Richmond, UK; Salt Lake City, Utah; and San Francisco, California. We had $7.7 million in computer equipment, leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, and other assets in these offices that we determined had no future value to us. We also recorded an impairment charge on our fixed assets of $2.4 million to state them at their estimated fair market value at December 31, 2001. Accordingly, we recorded asset impairment charges of $10.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2001.

Restructuring Charges. During the year ended December 31, 2002, we incurred restructuring charges of $2.0 million, including $1.1 million, related to termination of the unoccupied portions of our South Jordan Utah headquarters lease, and $836,000, related to adjustments made to prior restructuring estimates. The termination of the unoccupied portions of the South Jordan lease reduced the square footage leased from 105,068 to 22,310 square feet, reduced the term from 11 years to 5 years, and reduced the rental rate per square foot. This reduced our total base rent obligations (before operating expenses) under this lease by approximately $19 million over the term of the lease. As part of this transaction, we released to the landlord $1.5 million previously held as restricted cash to support these leases. The restructuring charge of $1.1 million is comprised of a charge of $1.5 million for release of the restricted cash, less the reversal of a prior rent accrual of $400,000 no longer needed under the terms of the restructured lease. The adjustments to prior restructuring estimates primarily resulted from higher facilities lease termination payments, and lower revised estimates of future facilities sublease income payments (in part due to the default of one of our subtenants), than previously estimated.

During the year ended December 31, 2001, we incurred restructuring charges of $8.8 million as part of our plans to improve operating results by reducing headcount, by closing duplicative facilities in Atlanta, Georgia; Chicago, Illinois; Foster City, California; Irving, Texas; New York, New York; Park Ridge, New Jersey; Raleigh, North Carolina; Richmond, UK; Salt Lake City, Utah; and San Francisco, California; and by implementing other measures. The restructuring charges were comprised of $873,000 for a headcount reduction of 173 staff, and $7.9 million for facilities related costs including penalties associated with the terminating leases and future lease payments.

We determined our restructuring charges in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3 (“EITF 94-3”) and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 100 (“SAB 100”). EITF 94-3 and SAB 100 require that we commit to an exit plan before we accrue employee termination costs and exit costs.
