Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

(1) Basis of Presentation

 

Except for the balance sheet as of September 30, 2003, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in our opinion, these condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods indicated.

 

We have prepared the accompanying financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. As permitted by the rules of the SEC applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, these financial statements are condensed and consolidated, consisting of the condensed financial statements of MAPICS, Inc. and our subsidiaries. We eliminated all significant intercompany accounts and transactions in the consolidation. We also have condensed these notes, and they do not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. While we believe that the disclosures presented are adequate to make these condensed consolidated financial statements not misleading, you should read them in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003.

 

We operate on a fiscal year ending September 30th. The term “fiscal 2002” refers to our fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, the term “fiscal 2003” refers to our fiscal year ended September 30, 2003, and the term “fiscal 2004” refers to our fiscal year ending September 30, 2004. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

 

(2) Stock-Based Compensation

 

As permitted by SFAS No. 148 and SFAS No. 123, we continue to apply the accounting provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related Interpretations in accounting for our stock option plans and our employee stock purchase plan and the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123 as amended by SFAS 148. We did not record stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding stock options in the three or six months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, as all options granted under our plans had an exercise price equal to fair market value at the grant date.

 

SFAS No. 148 requires us to provide pro forma disclosure of the impact on our results of operations had we adopted the expense measurement provisions of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123 permits the use of either a fair value based method or the intrinsic value method to measure the expense associated with our stock option plans and our employee stock purchase plan. The pro forma impact on our results of operations had we adopted the fair value based method of SFAS No. 123 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model are shown below (in thousands, except per share data):

(3) Revenue Recognition

 

We generate revenues primarily by licensing software, providing software support and maintenance and providing professional services to our customers. We record all revenues in accordance with the guidance provided by Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” SOP 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, ‘Software Revenue Recognition, with Respect to Certain Transactions’,” SAB 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” SAB 104, “Revenue Recognition,” and AICPA Technical Practice Aid (TPA) 5100.53, “Fair Value of PCS in a Short-Term Time-Based License and Software Revenue Recognition.”

 

Software License and Support Services Revenue

 

We generate a significant portion of total revenue from licensing software. Our sales channel consists of our direct sales force and our global network of independent affiliates. We license our software products under license agreements, which the ultimate customer typically executes directly with us rather than with our independent affiliates. Our license agreements are either annual renewable term license agreements or perpetual license agreements.

 

Under our perpetual license agreements, we record both an initial license fee and an annual support fee. We record initial license fees as license revenue and typically recognize revenue when the following criteria are met:

 

(1) the signing of a license agreement between us and the ultimate customer;

 

(2) delivery of the software to the customer or to a location designated by the customer;

 

(3) fees are fixed or determinable; and

 

(4) determination that collection of the related receivable is probable.

 

The annual support fee, which is typically paid in advance, entitles the customer to receive twelve months of support services, as available. We record these annual support fees as services revenue and recognize this revenue ratably over the term of the agreement.

 

For our annual renewable term license agreements, when we first license a product, we receive both an initial license fee and an annual license fee. Our customers may renew the license for an additional one-year period upon payment of the annual license fee. Provided all other elements of revenue recognition are met, we recognize the initial license fees under these annual renewable term licenses ratably as license revenue over the initial license period, which is generally twelve months. In addition, payment of the annual license fee entitles the customer to available software support for another year. If the annual license fee is not paid, the customer is no longer entitled to use the software and we may terminate the agreement. We record this annual license fee as services revenue ratably over the term of the agreement.

 

The license agreements for our software products include a limited express warranty. The warranty provides that the product, in its unaltered form, will perform substantially in accordance with our related documentation for a period of up to 90 days from delivery in most cases. A small percentage of our contracts have limited express warranties that cover a period of up to three years. These contracts relate to the SyteLine® product acquired in the acquisition of Frontstep, Inc. No new contracts containing this specific type of warranty are planned to be used in the future. If the product does not perform substantially in accordance with the documentation, we may repair or replace the product or terminate the license and refund the license fees paid for the product. All other warranties are expressly disclaimed. In addition to this warranty and in return for the payment of annual license or support fees, we provide customers with available annual maintenance services that include electronic usage support and defect repairs. In most instances, a product workaround and repair can be made and such repairs are delivered as part of maintenance services. Historically, we have not received any material warranty claims related to our products, and we have no reason to believe that we will receive any material claims in the future.

 

Implementation and Consulting Services Revenue

 

Under the terms of our license agreements, our customers are responsible for implementation and training. Our professional services organization or, in many instances, our independent affiliates provide our customers with the

Table of Contents

consulting and implementation services relating to our products. We provide our consulting and implementation services under services agreements, and we charge for them separately under time and materials arrangements or, in some circumstances, under fixed price arrangements. The professional services that we provide are generally not essential to the functionality of our delivered products. We recognize revenues from time and materials arrangements as the services are performed, provided that the customer has a contractual obligation to pay, the fee is non-refundable, and collection is probable. Under a fixed price arrangement, we recognize revenue on the basis of the estimated percentage of completion of service provided. We recognize changes in estimates in the period in which they are determined. We recognize provisions for losses, if any, in the period in which they first become probable and reasonably estimable.

 

We also offer educational courses and training materials to our customers and affiliates. These consulting and implementation services and education courses are included in services revenue and revenue is recognized when services are provided.

 

(4) Computation and Presentation of Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

We apply Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” which requires us to present “basic” and “diluted” net income per common share for all periods presented in the statements of operations. We compute basic net income per common share, which excludes dilution, by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if holders of our preferred stock, common stock options, common stock warrants and contingently issuable stock converted or exercised their holdings into common stock that then shared in our earnings.

 

The following table presents the calculations of basic and diluted net income per common share or common share equivalent (in thousands, except per share data):

(6) Acquisition of Frontstep, Inc.

 

On February 18, 2003, we acquired Frontstep, Inc, a business software and services provider for mid-sized manufacturing companies headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. The combined company markets offerings from both companies under the MAPICS® brand. The combined company is leveraging MAPICS’ success on the IBM platform and Frontstep’s investment in delivering SyteLine 7 on Microsoft.NET while sustaining active product development for each. In addition, we believe the combined company is benefiting from a more balanced sales strategy, with both larger direct and affiliate channels serving the global manufacturing market.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, shareholders of Frontstep received, in the aggregate, 4.2 million shares of MAPICS common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding Frontstep shares. We assumed Frontstep’s outstanding debt of $20.1 million as well as certain outstanding stock options and warrants. We accounted for the acquisition as a purchase under the guidance of SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” Accordingly, the results of operations of Frontstep for the period from February 18, 2003 are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

We allocated the total purchase price to the net tangible assets and intangible assets acquired based on our estimates of fair value at the date of acquisition. The allocation of the total purchase price to the acquired technology and other intangible assets, including trade name and maintenance contracts, was based on management’s best estimate, which included a consultation and review with a third party appraiser. We allocated the balance of the total purchase price to goodwill.

 

The calculation of the total purchase price was as follows (in thousands):

 

Equity value of shares issued

   $ 29,677

Fair value of vested options

     951

Fair value of warrant

     490

Direct transaction costs

     2,347
    

Total purchase price

   $ 33,465
    

 

The equity value of the shares issued was calculated based on an average price of $7.07 per share, which was derived by using the average of the price of MAPICS common stock for the 5 business days surrounding the date of measurement, November 24, 2002, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 99-12, “Determination of the Measurement Date for the Market Price of Acquirer Securities Issued in a Purchase Business Combination.” The date of measurement reflects the date the merger was announced. Direct transaction costs include our fees paid or accrued for professional services performed in connection with the acquisition of Frontstep.

 

The purchase price includes the fair value of the vested options under the Frontstep options plans. The option plans and all outstanding options were converted into MAPICS options using the same conversion ratio that was used for the exchange of Frontstep stock. We registered 542,258 shares of our common stock for these plans as follows: 238,974 shares to be issued under the Frontstep Amended and Restated Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for Key Employees, 182,945 shares to be issued under the Frontstep Second Amended and Restated 1999 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for Key Employees, and 120,339 shares to be issued under the Symix Non-Qualified Stock Options Plan for Key Executives. Substantially all of the shares under these plans are fully vested, and the options expire on the original expiration date or 90 days after the employee is no longer employed by us. Upon surrender of the options, they are no longer available for reissuance.

Additionally, the purchase price includes the estimated fair value of a stock warrant, which was approved for issuance on February 18, 2003. The warrant can be converted into 134,270 shares of common stock at a price of $7.81 and expires on July 17, 2006.

(7) Income Taxes

 

The reported income tax expense for the six months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 was calculated based on our projected effective tax rate of 36.0% and 39.7% respectively. The reported income tax expense differs from the expected income tax expense calculated by applying the federal statutory rate of 35.0% to our income before income tax expense primarily due to the impact of state and foreign income taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 our reported income tax was calculated based upon our effective tax rate of 34.9% and 37.0% respectively. The reported income tax for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was essentially the same as our statutory rate of 35.0% as this was the rate required in the current quarter to adjust income tax expense to our full year projected effective tax rate. The reported income tax for the three months ended March 31, 2003 differs from our statutory rate primarily due to the impact of state and foreign income taxes.

 

At March 31, 2004, we estimate that we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $43.5 million and research and experimentation and other credit carryforwards of $9.2 million. The NOLs and tax credits at March 31, 2004 expire between fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2020. The utilization of a significant portion of the NOLs and tax credits is limited on an annual basis due to various changes in ownership of MAPICS, Frontstep and a previously acquired company, Pivotpoint, Inc. We do not believe that these limitations will significantly impact our ability to utilize MAPICS’, Frontstep’s and Pivotpoint’s NOLs and MAPICS’ and Pivotpoint’s tax credits before they expire. However, we estimate that these limitations will impact our ability to utilize Frontstep’s tax credits. As a result, a significant portion of these credits have been provided for in our valuation allowance in connection with the purchase price allocation of Frontstep. There have been no changes in the valuation allowance for the three and six months ended March 31, 2004 from the amount reported at September 30, 2003. We believe these NOL’s and tax credits will continue to result in cash savings in future periods as we use them to offset income taxes payable. In addition, we still retain additional uncertain favorable income tax attributes in connection with the 1997 separation of Marcam Corporation into two companies, and additional income tax benefits related to these tax attributes may be realized in future periods if and when they become certain. We have recorded the net deferred tax assets at the amount we believe is more likely than not to be realized.

(8) Computer Software Costs

 

We charge all computer software development costs prior to establishing technological feasibility of computer software products to product development expense as they are incurred. From the time of establishing technological feasibility through general release of the product, we capitalize computer software development and translation costs and report them on the balance sheet as a component of computer software costs at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Amortization of computer software costs represents recognition of the costs of some of the software products we sell, including purchased software costs, capitalized software development costs and costs incurred to translate software into various foreign languages. We begin amortizing computer software costs upon general release of the product to customers and compute amortization on a product-by-product basis based on the greater of the amount determined using the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the product, which is generally three to five years for purchased software costs and software development costs and two years for software translation costs.

 

We performed a net realizable value test for all of our products lines at the end of fiscal year 2003 and found our future support services revenue to be sufficient to cover our estimable amortization over a five-year life. The MAPICS ERP for iSeries and MAPICS Syteline ERP products are being amortized over a five-year life. However, software is subject to rapid technological obsolescence and, as a result, future amortization periods for computer software costs could be shortened as a result of changes in technology in the future. Based on the current technology and market trends of our products, we prospectively changed the estimated remaining economic lives to a three-year life from a five-year life for certain product offerings that no longer generate significant license revenue.

 

We include amortization of computer software costs in cost of license revenue in the statement of operations. Amortization of computer software costs was $2.4 million and $5.4 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2004 as compared with $1.9 million and $3.4 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2003. Amortization of computer software costs for the six months ended March 31, 2004 included $0.6 million for the prospective adjustment of the amortization lives from five to three years.

On February 18, 2003 we completed the acquisition of Frontstep. We allocated the total purchase price to the net tangible assets acquired based on our estimate of fair value at the date of the acquisition. The allocation of the total purchase price to tradenames, maintenance contracts and acquired technology was based on management’s best estimate, including consultation and review with a third party appraiser. We allocated the $389 million balance of the total purchase price to goodwill. See note (6) for further details on the acquisition.

 

Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Our intangible assets consist principally of tradenames, trademarks, maintenance contracts, and installed customer base and affiliate network, and we consider all to have finite lives. The gross carrying amount, accumulated amortization and net carrying amount of our amortized intangible assets are detailed below:

We acquired $5.8 million of identifiable intangible assets as part of the Frontstep acquisition. These assets consisted of a $0.9 million tradename and $4.8 million in maintenance contracts and are being amortized over the remaining estimated life. See note (6) for further details on the acquisition. The weighted average amortization lives of the acquired tradename and maintenance contracts is 5 years.

 

The $8.3 million of installed customer base and affiliate network relates to the $6.0 million MAPICS installed customer base intangible asset and the acquired $2.3 million Pivotpoint customer base intangible asset. The weighted average amortization lives of the installed customer base and affiliate network is 13 years. All of our intangible assets will be fully amortized by February 2008.

(10) Restructuring Costs and Exit Cost Reserve

 

In fiscal 2002, we announced a five-year agreement with an offshore information technology services company to perform a variety of our ongoing product development activities. The agreement was a contributing factor in a planned reduction of our worldwide workforce by approximately 12% by June 30, 2002. The restructuring charge of $4.7 million during fiscal 2002 included $3.7 million related to the abandonment of excess office space and $1.0 million related to employee severance and related costs for approximately 65 employees, primarily product development and support personnel. At March 31, 2004, we had $2.5 million remaining in our restructuring and exit cost reserve relating to fiscal 2002 activities.

 

During fiscal 2003, we recorded exit costs of $8.0 million relating to the Frontstep acquisition, of which $6.2 million were included in the cost of the acquisition and recorded in the purchase price allocation. The remaining $1.8 million in exit costs were recorded as restructuring costs in our statement of operations.

 

The total exit cost of $6.2 million during fiscal 2003 that was included in the Frontstep purchase price allocation included $3.3 million in abandonment of office space and related costs and $2.4 million in employee severance and related costs for approximately 85 employees from all areas of Frontstep. Additionally, exit costs included obligations remaining pursuant to a $0.5 million consulting agreement that was subsequently terminated on February 21, 2003. During the six months ended March 31, 2004, we recorded a net adjustment of $1.0 million to decrease the restructuring reserve for abandonment of office space as a result of securing buy out agreements for two vacated properties for which we had previously reserved in the purchase price of Frontstep.

 

We accounted for the remaining $1.8 million of exit costs during fiscal 2003 in restructuring costs in our statement of operations under the provisions of SFAS No. 146 “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” These costs included $2.1 million in employee severance and related costs for approximately 90 employees from all areas of the Company and a recovery of $0.3 million of a previous accrual for vacated space. During the six months ended March 31, 2004, we recorded an increase of $0.1 million to the restructuring reserve primarily for employees that were part of the fiscal 2003 work force reduction that were notified of termination after September 30, 2003. This increase was almost entirely offset by the reversal of a fiscal 2003 accrual for employees notified of termination but were retained as employees. At March 31, 2004, we have $0.7 million remaining in our restructuring and exit cost reserve relating to fiscal 2003 activities.

Table of Contents

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2004, we recorded exit costs of $0.1 and $0.4 million primarily related to employee severance and related costs for approximately 25 employees from all areas in our North America and EMEA regions, of which $0.4 million was included in restructuring costs on our statement of operations. The work force reduction during the three and six months ended March 31, 2004 was done primarily as a measure to reduce costs. At March 31, 2004, we had $0.3 million remaining in our restructuring and exit cost reserve relating to activities during the six months ended March 31, 2004.

We expect future cash expenditures related to these restructuring activities to be approximately $3.6 million. We expect to pay approximately $1.5 million during the next twelve months, and we therefore have included this amount in current liabilities. We expect to pay the remaining $2.1 million by fiscal 2007.

 

As shown in the table above, our restructuring and exit cost reserve at March 31, 2004 is principally comprised of the estimated excess lease and related costs associated with vacated office space. We could incur additional restructuring charges if operating results require us to further reduce our work force. Additionally, we could incur additional restructuring charges or reverse prior charges in the event that the underlying assumptions used to develop our estimates of excess lease costs change, such as the timing and the amount of any sublease income. Depending on market conditions for office space and our ability to secure a suitable subtenant and sublease for the space, which to date we

 

14


Table of Contents

have not secured for all space, we may revise our estimates of the excess lease costs and the timing and amount of sublease income and, as a result, incur additional charges or credits to our restructuring and exit costs reserve as appropriate.

Debt: The debt noted above is included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This debt includes $12.5 million for the term loan portion of our bank credit facility and $1.8 million for the revolving credit portion of our bank credit facility. On April 22, 2004, we repaid the remaining $1.8 million outstanding balance of the revolving credit facility using cash. As such, the $1.8 million outstanding as of March 31, 2004, is included in the “Less than 1 Year” column as this is the “scheduled” payment date. It is recorded as a current portion of long-term debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of April 22, 2004, we had no outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility.

 

Leases: We are contractually obligated to make minimum lease payments on several operating leases. We lease office space, computer and office equipment and vehicles under operating leases, some of which contain renewal options and generally require us to pay insurance, taxes and maintenance. The lease on our headquarters building includes scheduled base rent increases over the term of the lease. We charge to expense the total amount of the base rent payments using the straight-line method over the term of the lease. In addition, we pay a monthly allocation of the building’s operating expenses. We have recorded a deferred credit to reflect the excess of rent expense over cash payments since inception of the lease in March 1999.

 

Minimum royalty payments: We have certain relationships with third party solution providers whereby we sell their products in conjunction with our offerings. Under most agreements, we pay a royalty to the respective third party providers based upon the dollar volume of their products we sell. Under certain of these agreements, we owe minimum royalty payments on an annual basis.

 

(12) Operating Segments and Geographic Information

 

We have three operating segments for which we evaluate our business and for which we have discrete financial information available. These operating segments include 1) software sales to customers in the manufacturing environment, 2) providing support services to the customers that purchase our software, and 3) providing implementation and other consulting services to customers that purchase our software. In evaluating financial performance, we focus on income (loss) from operations as a measure of a segment’s profit or loss. Operating profit for this purpose is income before interest, taxes and allocation of certain corporate expenses. Operating profit is significant as it includes the revenue and related costs that apply to the individual segments. Interest, taxes and allocation of certain corporate expenses are not related specifically to the operating segments. We are including other operating costs, including marketing, product development, and general and administrative expenses in the presentation of reportable segment information because these expenses are not allocated separately to our operating segments. We do not utilize assets as a measure of a segment’s performance. Assets are reviewed at the enterprise level and thus are not included in our segment disclosure.

Our principal administrative, marketing, product development and support operations are located in the United States. Areas of operation outside of North America include Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Asia Pacific and Latin America. In addition to the operating segments disclosed above, we regularly prepare and evaluate separate financial information for each of our principal geographic areas: 1) North America, 2) EMEA, 3) Asia Pacific and 4) Latin America. In evaluating financial performance, we focus on operating profit as a measure of a geographic area’s profit or loss. Operating profit for this purpose is income before interest, taxes and allocation of certain corporate expenses. We include our corporate division in the presentation of geographical areas information because some of the income and expenses of this division are not allocated separately to the geographical areas. We have not allocated a portion of the product development costs of $4.0 million and $7.6 million for three and six months ended March 31, 2004 and $4.7 million and $8.3 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2003 incurred in the United States to the other geographic areas, We also have not allocated administrative costs of $5.4 million and $11.2 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2004 and $5.8 million and $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 incurred in the United States to the other geographic areas.

Summary

 

We principally generate revenue from the licensing of software and the delivery of support and implementation services to mid-market discrete and batch-process manufacturing enterprises. Mid-market enterprises are generally those manufacturing operations, that generate between $20 million and $1 billion in annual revenues. Our ability to maintain or grow our license or services revenue is dependent on a variety of factors, including the capital spending of the mid-market manufacturers that we serve. Over the past three years there have been a number of events that have affected our target market. Beginning in 2000, there was a general economic slowdown, particularly in the manufacturing market, which has resulted in reduced employment and capital spending in the U.S. manufacturing market and in other geographies. In addition, we continue to experience a general shift in manufacturing operations to lower cost geographies like Asia. We believe the indications of economic improvement in the U.S. and other geographic areas over the past year coupled with improvement in the overall manufacturing sector has begun to favorably impact our customers’ operations. We believe this has improved capital investment sentiment in several geographic areas. We further believe that the improved sentiment has favorably impacted our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004. While signs of improvement in the global economy and general improvements in the manufacturing sector are positive developments, we believe many of our customers are still hesitant with respect to capital investment decisions as their operations have just now begun to improve. Furthermore, while economic growth is evident in the U.S. and Asia Pacific, many European economies still face slow to stagnant growth. This will continue to be a challenge to our operations as we derive a significant portion of our revenues from this region.

 

Our revenue and operating profits improved in the three and six months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the same period last year. The increase in revenue and operating profits was principally due to the addition of revenue from the Frontstep business acquired in February 2003. Revenue from the Frontstep business is only reflected in our three and six months ended March 31, 2003 figures from the February 18, 2003 closing date through March 31, 2003. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2004, our revenues improved in all segments and major geographic areas as compared with the three and six months ended March 31, 2003. Our operating profits improved in the three and six months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the same period last year due to our restructuring efforts over the past year, controlled spending, productivity improvements and mix of revenues. Our restructuring efforts reduced personnel and leased office space and lowered our direct and indirect cost of operations and improved company wide productivity. Our revenue mix in the three and six months ended March 31, 2004 favored our direct sales channel, which has a lower associated direct costs.

 

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2004, we funded our operations principally from operating cash flows. Cash flow from operations came primarily from collections of receivables and favorable operating results. Our operating cash flows showed significant improvement during the three and six months ended March 31, 2004 as compared with the three and six months ended March 31, 2003. We borrowed $1.5 million against our revolving credit line for working capital purposes in the six months ended March 31, 2004. We repaid $3.8 million of the revolving credit line and $2.5 million of our term loan in the six months ended March 31, 2004. The repayments were funded with cash from operations.

Overview

 

We are a global developer of extended enterprise applications that principally focuses on manufacturing establishments in discrete and batch-process industries. Our solutions enable manufacturers around the world to compete better by streamlining their business processes, maximizing their organizational resources, and extending their enterprises beyond the four walls of their factory for secure collaboration with their value chain partners.

 

On February 18, 2003, we acquired Frontstep, a manufacturing application solution provider with worldwide operations. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, we purchased of all of Frontstep’s shares in exchange for 4.2 million shares of MAPICS common stock, and we assumed $20.1 million of Frontstep’s debt as well as certain outstanding stock options and warrants. Frontstep shareholders received 0.300846 MAPICS shares for each share of Frontstep common stock held. Furthermore, we entered into a $30 million bank credit facility from which we borrowed $21.7 million on February 18, 2003, the proceeds of which we used to repay the Frontstep debt assumed in the business combination and certain related expenses. The Frontstep acquisition is more fully described in note (6) to the financial statements.

 

As a result of the transaction, both MAPICS and Frontstep customers are served by a much larger manufacturing-focused global company that can leverage a larger combined customer base with complementary offerings and new sales channels. The combined company, which markets offerings from both companies under the MAPICS® brand, is leveraging MAPICS’ success on the IBM platform and Frontstep’s investment in delivering SyteLine 7 on Microsoft.NET while sustaining active product development for each. In addition, we believe the combined company is benefiting from a more balanced sales strategy with both larger direct and affiliate channels serving the global manufacturing market.

 

We have three operating segments for which we evaluate our business and for which we have discrete financial information available. These operating segments are “Software” which includes license revenue, “Support” which includes maintenance and usage services to the customers that purchase our software and “Implementation and Consulting” which includes other professional services to customers that purchase our software.

 

Results of Operations

 

Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 2004 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 2003

 

Summary

 

Our results of operations for the three and six months March 31, 2004 include the results of Frontstep. Our results for the comparative period prior to the February 18, 2003 acquisition date, do not include the results of Frontstep. The integration of the Frontstep operations into our operating structure was essentially completed during the three months ended December 31, 2003.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2004, we reported net income of $2.1 million, or $0.08 per share (diluted), compared to a net loss of $1.5 million, or $(0.07) per share (diluted), for the three months ended March 31, 2003. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, total revenue increased $5.9 million or 15.5% from the year earlier quarter. Operating expenses were essentially flat for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to March 31, 2003.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2004, we reported net income of $4.4 million, or $0.17 per share (diluted), compared to a net loss of $47,000, or $0.00 per share for the six months ended March 31, 2003. For the six months ended March 31, 2004, total revenue increased $17.9 million or 25.9% from the prior year six months ended March 31, 2003. Operating expenses increased $10.7 million or 15.4% compared to the prior six months ended March 31, 2003.

 

Effective October 1, 2003, we amended our vacation policy for employees in North America to require these employees to utilize their vacation benefits in the period earned or such benefits will be forfeited. We expect this will result in certain expense reductions throughout fiscal 2004 as accrued vacation is consumed or forfeited. The amount of accrued vacation relating to our employees in North America at October 1, 2003 was $1.9 million and $1.7 million at March 31, 2004.

Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2004 increased by $5.9 million principally as a result of the Frontstep acquisition. Excluding revenue associated with the products acquired from the Frontstep acquisition, our total revenue decreased by $2.9 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003. Total revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2004 increased by $17.9 million principally again as a result of the Frontstep acquisition. Excluding revenues associated with the products acquired from the Frontstep acquisition, our total revenue decreased by

Table of Contents

$5.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2003. Excluding revenue associated with the Frontstep acquisition, the decrease in total revenues for the three and six months ended March 31, 2004 are due principally to a reduction in license and services revenue associated with our prior offerings. Most new customer transactions are licensing our acquired SyteLine 7 solution, which is built on the latest Microsoft.Net technology platform and in many of those transactions, we deliver the implementation and consulting services. We have devoted a greater percentage of our sales and marketing efforts to these new offerings and, as a result, we have experienced some decline in our other products revenue streams. While we believe that the ERP for iSeries offering is well suited for our target market and we will continue to sell strategic extensions to those customers, we anticipate that there will be growing acceptance of our SyteLine 7 offerings in the market.

 

Software Sales Revenue

 

License Revenue: Total license revenue increased $1.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2004, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003. The increase is attributable to an increase of $2.9 million in contract activity primarily from products acquired in the Frontstep acquisition. This increase was reduced by a decrease of $1.6 million of license revenue recognized primarily from our MAPICS ERP for iSeries license agreements, which are typically deferred and amortized ratably over a twelve-month period. This $1.6 million net decrease in license revenue is attributable to lower contract activity for our MAPICS ERP for iSeries license agreements over the preceding twelve-month period.

 

Total license revenue increased $4.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2003. The increase in license revenue is attributable to an increase of $4.3 million in contract activity primarily from an increase of $8.2 million for products acquired in the Frontstep acquisition offset by a decrease of $3.9 million for the MAPICS ERP for iSeries products. We believe this decline in the contract activity for the MAPICS ERP for iSeries products is due to the fact that we have devoted a greater percentage of our sales and marketing efforts on the acquired offerings and, as a result, we have experienced some decline in our ERP for iSeries contract activity. Total license revenue also increased due to an increase of $0.3 million in license revenue recognized primarily from our MAPICS ERP for iSeries license agreements, which are typically deferred and amortized ratably over a twelve-month period.

 

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2004, we executed 359 and 621 transactions with an average contract price of $31,600 and $32,800 respectively. This compares to 219 and 328 transactions in the three and six months ended March 31, 2003 with an average contract price of $39,000 and $49,500, respectively. The increase in the number of transactions is due to the inclusion of transactions from the acquired Frontstep product lines. The average contract price declined as a result of smaller transaction sizes from the Frontstep product lines concentrated in geographic areas with lower average selling prices plus a greater volume of sales of add-on products to existing customers.

 

Services Revenue

 

Support Services: Our support services revenue consists of annual license fees and annual support fees, which are typically paid in advance. The annual fees entitle the customer to receive twelve months of support services, as available. We record these annual fees as services revenue and recognize this revenue ratably over the term of the agreement. The increase in revenue from our support services for the three and six months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the three and six months ended March 31, 2003 was primarily due to the inclusion of support services revenue from our acquired Frontstep products. Excluding the acquired Frontstep products, support services revenue for the three and six months ended March 31, 2004 declined $2.5 million and $5.5 million compared to the three and six months ended March 31, 2003. The decline is principally due to a lower MAPICS ERP for iSeries support base caused by a decline in licensing volume for the iSeries solution and to a lesser extent reductions in supported users and applications for our iSeries products.

 

Implementation and Consulting Services: Our implementation and consulting services revenue is generated by our professional services organization, which may provide our customers with consulting and implementation services relating to our products and the products of our solution partners. The inclusion of Frontstep revenue for the three and six months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three and six months ended March 31, 2003 increased our implementation and consulting services revenue. Our implementation and consulting revenues were more diversified

across our operating geographic areas in the three and six months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three and six months ended March 31, 2003 as a result of the inclusion of Frontstep implementation and consulting revenues. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2004, implementation and consulting revenues were $4.6 million and $8.8 million, an increase of $1.5 million and $3.9 million compared to the three and six months ended March 31, 2003. The improvement in revenue is due to the inclusion of Frontstep revenue and increasing sales of our Syteline offering, which drives additional service engagements.

For the three months ended March 31, 2004, total revenue increased as a percentage of total revenue in our international regions compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003. The increase is due to increasing revenues in both EMEA and Asia Pacific, which as a result have lowered our percentage of total revenue from North America. The increase in international revenues is mostly due to growth in existing international operations and the inclusion of sales for the acquired products of Frontstep, which added breadth to our international operations particularly in implementation and consulting revenue in EMEA and Asia Pacific and software license revenue in Asia Pacific. We believe that another contributing factor to the increase in Asia Pacific revenues is the economic growth in the region, which is contributing to and being fueled by the continuing trend of increased multinational manufacturing presence and outsourcing to this region. Still another factor contributing to the increase in international revenues is the considerable weakening of the US dollar against the major European and Asian currencies. The Euro, British Pound Sterling, Japanese Yen and Australian Dollar were approximately 14%, 17%,12% and 27% higher against the dollar, respectively, at March 31, 2004 as compared to March 31, 2003.

 

Additional information about our operations in these geographic areas is presented in note (12) of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this report.

Cost of License Revenue

 

Cost of license revenue decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease of $0.9million in royalty expense related to our MAPICS ERP for iSeries product line. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $0.5 million in capitalized software amortization from the previous period. The increase is due to a prospective change in the estimated remaining economic lives to a three-year life from a five-year life of certain of our insignificant product offerings. We performed a net realizable value test for all of our products lines at the end of fiscal year 2003 and found our future support services revenue to be sufficient to cover our estimable amortization over a five-year life. The MAPICS ERP for iSeries and MAPICS Syteline ERP products are being amortized over a five-year life. However, software is subject to rapid technological obsolescence and, as a result, future amortization periods for computer software costs could be shortened as a result of changes in technology in the future. Based on the current technology and market trends of our products, we prospectively changed the estimated remaining economic lives to a three-year life from a five-year life for certain product offerings that no longer generate significant license revenue.

 

Cost of license revenue increased $1.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2003. The increase was due partly to the addition of a full quarter of royalties and amortization related to the acquired Frontstep products. Amortization of capital software increased by $2.0 million in the six months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2003. The increase was the result of the prospective change in the estimated remaining economic lives of certain software products mentioned above. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in royalty expense related to our MAPICS ERP for iSeries product line offset slightly by an increase in royalties related to the Syteline product line. The decrease in royalty expense for the three and six months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three and six months ended March 31, 2003 is the result of the decrease in license volume on the MAPICS ERP for iSeries product. The increase in volume related to the Syteline product line partially offset the decline. Royalties on the Syteline product are generally lower per dollar unit of license volume as compared to the MAPICS ERP for iSeries product line. We expect cost of license revenue to vary from period to period based on the mix of products licensed between internally developed products and royalty bearing products and the timing of computer software amortization costs.

 

Cost of Support Services Revenue

 

The increase in cost of support services revenue was due primarily to the inclusion of Frontstep cost of support services revenue in the three and six months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three and six months ended March 31, 2003. Cost of support services increased $1.0 million and $3.5 million in the three and six months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three and six months ended March 31, 2003. The increase in the three months ended March 31, 2004 was due to an increase of $0.8 million in compensation for additional support personnel to support additional customers and related support revenue as a result of the Frontstep acquisition and $0.2 million in other direct support

costs. The increase in the six months ended March 31, 2004 was due to an increase of $2.1 million in compensation for additional support personnel to support additional customers and related support revenue as a result of the Frontstep acquisition, $0.7 million in royalty costs associated with the addition of support revenue related to the Frontstep acquisition, $0.4 million in amortization related to the maintenance contract intangible asset and $0.3 million in other direct support costs.

 

Cost of Implementation and Consulting Services Revenue

 

The increase in cost of implementation and consulting services revenue was due to the inclusion of Frontstep cost of implementation and consulting services revenue in the three and six months ended March 31, 2004. The $0.8 million increase in cost for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003 was due to a $0.5 million increase in compensation due to improved revenues for the period and $0.3 million increase in other direct implementation and consulting services costs. The $3.1 million increase in cost for the six months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2003 was due to a $2.1 million increase in compensation for additional service consultants due to the increase in implementation and consulting services revenues, $0.7 million in fees for professional service contractors used on certain engagements and $0.4 million in other direct implementation and consulting services costs.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

 

Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $0.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003 but decreased 5.7% as a percentage of total revenue over the same period. Selling and marketing expense was essentially flat due to the inclusion of selling and marketing expenses of Frontstep being offset by a decrease in marketing spend due to the synergies gained from the combination of the Frontstep and MAPICS marketing organizations. Efficiencies gained from the combination of the two selling organizations also led to essentially flat selling expense. For the six months ended March 31, 2004, selling and marketing expense increased $0.9 million as compared with the six months ended March 31, 2003 but decreased 6.0% as a percentage of revenue over the comparable prior year period. This increase is due to the inclusion of selling and marketing expenses of Frontstep. Included in the overall increase is an increase of $1.5 million in compensation expense for the addition of selling and marketing personnel as a result of the Frontstep acquisition, primarily in North America and Asia Pacific offset slightly by a $0.6 million reduction in other selling and marketing costs. The reduction in other selling and marketing direct costs is primarily the result of a decrease in commissions paid to our affiliate network due to the higher mix of revenues coming from our direct sales channel as opposed to our affiliate channel for the six months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2003 We believe that affiliate commissions will fluctuate from period to period based on our product mix and the levels of sales by our affiliates and by our direct sales organization.

Total product development expense decreased $0.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003 and decreased 3.4% as a percentage of total revenues during the same comparable period. The decrease in product development expense was the result of a $1.2 million increase in capitalization of product development costs associated with products that have reached technological feasibility and the $0.9 million increase in capitalization of software translation costs primarily associated with translating the Syteline product into various languages in Europe and Asia Pacific. The increase in total capitalization costs was slightly offset by a $1.3 million increase in product development spending. For the six months ended March 31, 2004, total product development expense decreased $0.7 million as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2003, and decreased 3.3% as a percentage of total revenue over the comparable prior year period. The decrease is again due to the increase in total capitalization costs of $3.8 million being slightly offset by a $3.1 million increase in product development spending. For both the three and six months ended March 31, 2004, the increase in capitalization is primarily a result of projects related to the Frontstep acquired products and the addition of several other projects for new releases. Software capitalization as a percentage of product development spend also increased by 29% and 24 % over the three and six month periods, respectively. These increases are also due to the an increase in the number of products for the Frontstep acquired products and several other projects that have reached technological feasibility as compared to the year earlier periods. Software capitalization rates generally are affected by the nature and timing of development activities and vary from period to period.

 

The $1.3 million increase in product development spending in the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003 is due to an increase of $1.0 million in expense associated with translation activities and $0.3 million in other product development activities. For the six months ended March 31, 2004, product development spending increased $3.1 million compared with the six months ended March 31, 2003. The increase is primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in compensation costs primarily for the addition of developers related to the Frontstep acquisition, and an increase of $1.1 million in translation expense for translation activities and an increase of $0.6 million in other product development costs.

General and Administrative Expenses

 

Total general and administrative expenses decreased $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004 but decreased 2.9% as a percentage of total revenue during the comparable period from the prior year. The decrease principally consists of $0.7 million reduction in bad debt expense, which was higher in the prior period due to additions to the allowance for acquired Frontstep receivables offset by a $0.3 million increase in other general and administrative expenses. For the six months ended March 31, 2004, total general and administrative expenses increased $2.5 million as compared with the six months ended March 31, 2003. The increase was primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in compensation expense for the addition of general and administrative personnel and a $1.0 million increase in tax, audit and legal fees associated with the completion of the Form 8-K/A that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Committee during the quarter ended December 31, 2003. The remaining increase was $0.2 million in other general and administrative expenses.

 

Other Income and Expense

 

Interest Income and Interest Expense

 

Interest income was $44,000 and $84,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2004, a decrease of $24,000 and $60,000 from the three and six months ended March 31, 2003. The decrease in interest income is related primarily to the decrease in investable cash and lower interest rates in the three and six months ended March 31, 2004 as compared with the three and six months ended March 31, 2003.

 

Interest expense was $0.3 million and $0.4 million, an increase of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2004 as compared with the three and six months ended March 31, 2003. Interest expense principally consists of 1) interest on our new credit facility based on our lender’s base rate or LIBOR plus a predetermined margin and 2) amortization of debt issuance costs.

 

Income Taxes

 

The reported income tax expense for the six months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 was calculated based on our projected effective tax rate of 36.0% and 39.7% respectively. The reported income tax expense differs from the expected income tax expense calculated by applying the federal statutory rate of 35.0% to our income before income tax expense primarily due to the impact of state and foreign income taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 our reported income tax was calculated based upon our effective tax rate of 34.9% and 37.0% respectively. The reported income tax for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was essentially the same as our statutory rate of 35.0% as this was the rate required in the current quarter to adjust income tax expense to our full year projected effective tax rate. The reported income tax for the three months ended March 31, 2003 differs from our statutory rate primarily due to the impact of state and foreign income taxes.

 

At March 31, 2004, we estimate that we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $43.5 million and research and experimentation and other credit carryforwards of $9.2 million. The NOLs and tax credits at March 31, 2004 expire between fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2020. The utilization of a significant portion of the NOL’s and tax credits is limited on an annual basis due to various changes in ownership of MAPICS, Frontstep and a previously acquired company, Pivotpoint, Inc. We do not believe that these limitations will significantly impact our ability to utilize MAPICS’, Frontstep’s and Pivotpoint’s NOLs and MAPICS’ and Pivotpoint’s tax credits before they expire. However, we estimate that these limitations will impact our ability to utilize Frontstep’s tax credits. As a result, a significant portion of these credits have been provided for in our valuation allowance in connection with the purchase price allocation of Frontstep. There have been no changes in the valuation allowance for the three and six months ended March 31, 2004 from the amount reported at September 30, 2003. We believe these NOL’s and tax credits will continue to result in cash savings in future periods as we use them to offset income taxes payable. In addition, we still retain additional uncertain favorable income tax attributes in connection with the 1997 separation of Marcam Corporation into two companies, and additional income tax benefits related to these tax attributes may be realized in future periods if and when they become certain. We have recorded the net deferred tax assets at the amount we believe is more likely than not to be realized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Historically, we have funded our operations and capital expenditures primarily with cash generated from operating activities. Changes in net cash provided by operating activities generally reflect the changes in earnings plus the effect of changes in working capital. Changes in working capital, especially trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and accrued expenses, are generally the result of timing differences between collection of fees billed and payment of operating expenses.

 

The following tables show information about our cash flows during the six months ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003 and selected balance sheet data as of March 31, 2004 and September 30, 2003 (in thousands).

Operating Activities

 

We had net cash provided by operations of $10.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004 as compared with net cash provided by operations of $9.5 million in the six months ended March 31, 2003. The $10.6 million in cash provided by operations was due to a $15.4 million positive impact on operating cash flows from non-cash items and a $3.7 million favorable impact from collections of accounts receivable, offset by a $8.3 million negative impact on operating cash flows associated with changes in other operating assets and liabilities. Significant non-cash items include $7.7 million in depreciation and amortization expenses, a $1.6 million decrease in deferred tax assets due to changes in temporary differences, $4.4 million from net income and a $1.4 million addition to the bad debt provision primarily related to increase in general sales volume.

 

Changes in operating assets slightly offset the positive impact of non-cash items. Significant changes in operating assets and liabilities affecting cash flows after inclusion of asset and liability additions from the Frontstep acquisition and the net impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates included a $5.4 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to the payment of liabilities related to normal operations, a $3.3 million decrease due in deferred license and service revenue due to the recognition of deferred service and license revenue, and a $1.8 million decrease in the restructuring reserve due to payment of office space and severance related accruals. These decreases in operating cash was partially offset by operating cash inflows by a $3.7 million decrease in accounts receivable because of collections of outstanding balances and $2.2 million due to the recognition of prepaid expense, deferred royalties, deferred commissions and other non-current assets.

 

Investing and Financing Activities

 

Net cash used for investing activities of $6.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004 relates to the capitalization of $5.7 million in computer software costs associated with products that have reached technological feasibility and $0.8 million in purchases of fixed assets. The $3.8 million increase in capitalized software in the six months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2003 relates principally to the addition of the Syteline product line and other strategic extension products.

Table of Contents

Net cash used by financing activities of $0.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004 relates to the cash inflows of $3.9 million from employee exercises of stock options, $0.3 million in employee stock purchases, $1.5 million in borrowings against our revolving line of credit, which were offset by a $2.5 million scheduled repayment of our long-term debt, and a $3.8 million repayment against the outstanding balance of our revolving credit facility. We experienced significant cash inflow from employee exercises of stock options for the six months ended March 31, 2004 after we filed our Form 8-K/A containing certain pro-forma financial information related to the Frontstep acquisition. Prior to that filing, optionees were not allowed to sell shares in the open market because the registration statement underlying those shares was deemed ineffective since the pro-forma financial information had not been filed.

 

We borrowed $1.5 million against our $12.5 million revolving credit facility in the three months ended December 31, 2003 for use in normal operating activities. After the borrowing, we had a balance outstanding of $5.5 million and an unused available balance of $7.0 million at December 31, 2003. We made $3.8 million in payments against the outstanding balance of our revolving credit facility in the three months ended March 31, 2004. After the repayments our outstanding balance was $1.8 million and our unused available balance was $10.7 million. On April 22, 2004, we repaid the remaining $1.8 million outstanding on the revolving credit facility with cash. After this repayment, we no longer have an outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility and we have an unused available balance of $12.5 million, subject to the borrowing base. During the six months ended, we made scheduled principal repayments on our term loan of $2.5 million. After the repayments our outstanding balance on our term loan was $12.5 million.

 

At March 31, 2004, the interest rate on our term loan, including the lender’s margin, was 3.65%. At March 31, 2004, the interest rate on the revolving credit portion of the bank credit facility, including the lender’s margin, was 5.0%. The increase in rate on the revolving credit portion of the bank credit facility is due to the timing of our LIBOR election for the revolving credit facility. The higher rate was in effect for the last two days of the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The rate reduced to 3.59% after the election was made in April. At March 31, 2004, we were in compliance with our debt covenants.

 

On July 31, 2002, we announced that our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10.0 million of our outstanding common stock. Purchases may be made from time to time, depending on market conditions, in private transactions as well as in the open market at prevailing market prices. We did not repurchase any shares of our outstanding commons stock during the three or six months ended March 31, 2004.

 

We do not have any current plans or commitments for any significant capital expenditures.

 

We believe that cash and cash equivalents on hand as of March 31, 2004, together with cash flows from operations and available borrowings under our bank credit facility will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. This forward-looking statement, however, is subject to all of the risks and uncertainties detailed in “ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Factors Affecting Future Performance” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003. If cash generated from operations during this period is less than we expect or if we need additional financing after March 31, 2005, we may need to increase our bank credit facility or to undertake equity or debt offerings. We may be unable to obtain such financing on favorable terms, if at all.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or financing arrangements with related parties, persons who were previously related parties, or any other parties who might be in a position to negotiate arrangements with us other than on an arms-length basis.

 

Restructuring and Exit Cost Reserves

 

In fiscal 2002, we announced a five-year agreement with an offshore information technology services company to perform a variety of our ongoing product development activities. The agreement was a contributing factor in a planned reduction of our worldwide workforce by approximately 12% by June 30, 2002. The restructuring charge of $4.7 million during fiscal 2002 included $3.7 million related to the abandonment of excess office space and $1.0 million related to employee severance and related costs for approximately 65 employees, primarily product development and support personnel. At March 31, 2004, we had $2.5 million remaining in our restructuring and exit cost reserve relating to fiscal 2002 activities.

Table of Contents

During fiscal year 2003, we recorded exit costs of $8.0 million relating to the Frontstep acquisition, of which $6.2 million were included in the cost of the acquisition and recorded in the purchase price allocation. The remaining $1.8 million in exit costs were recorded as restructuring costs in our statement of operations.

 

The total exit cost of $6.2 million during the fiscal 2003 that was included in the Frontstep purchase price allocation, included $3.3 million in abandonment of office space and related costs and $2.4 million in employee severance and related costs for approximately 85 employees from all areas of Frontstep. Additionally, exit costs included obligations remaining pursuant to a $0.5 million consulting agreement that was subsequently terminated on February 21, 2003. During the six months ended March 31, 2004, we recorded a net adjustment of $1.0 million to decrease the restructuring reserve for abandonment of office space as a result of securing buy out agreements for two vacated properties for which we had previously reserved in the purchase price of Frontstep.

 

We accounted for the remaining $1.8 million of exit costs during fiscal 2003 in restructuring costs in our statement of operations under the provisions of SFAS No. 146 “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” These costs included $2.1 million in employee severance and related costs for approximately 90 employees from all areas of the Company and a recovery of $0.3 million of a previous accrual for vacated space. During the six months ended March 31, 2004, we recorded an increase of $0.1 million to the restructuring reserve primarily for employees that were part of the fiscal 2003 work force reduction that were notified of termination after September 30, 2003. This increase was almost entirely offset by the reversal of a fiscal 2003 accrual for employees notified of termination but were retained as employees. At March 31, 2004, we had $0.7 million remaining in our restructuring and exit cost reserve relating to fiscal 2003 activities.

 

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2004, we recorded exit costs of $0.1 and $0.4 million primarily related to employee severance and related costs for approximately 25 employees from all areas in our North America and EMEA regions, of which $0.4 million was included in restructuring costs on our statement of operations. The work force reduction during the three and six months ended March 31, 2004 was done primarily as a measure to reduce costs. At March 31, 2004, we had $0.3 million remaining in our restructuring and exit cost reserve relating to activities during the six months ended March 31, 2004.

We expect future cash expenditures related to these restructuring activities to be approximately $3.6 million. We expect to pay approximately $1.5 million during the next twelve months, and we therefore have included this amount in current liabilities. We expect to pay the remaining $2.1 million by fiscal 2007.

 

As shown in the table above, our restructuring and exit cost reserve at March 31, 2004 is principally comprised of the estimated excess lease and related costs associated with vacated office space. We could incur additional restructuring charges if operating results require us to further reduce our work-force. Additionally, we could incur additional restructuring charges or reverse prior charges in the event that the underlying assumptions used to develop our estimates of excess lease costs change, such as the timing and the amount of any sublease income. Depending on market conditions for office space and our ability to secure a suitable subtenant and sublease for the space, which to date we have not secured for all space, we may revise our estimates of the excess lease costs and the timing and amount of sublease income and, as a result, incur additional charges or credits to our restructuring and exit costs reserve as appropriate.

Debt: The debt noted above is included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This debt includes $12.5 million for the term loan portion of our bank credit facility and $1.8 million for the revolving credit portion of our bank credit facility. On April 22, 2004, we repaid the remaining $1.8 million outstanding balance of the revolving credit facility using cash. As such, the $1.8 million outstanding as of March 31, 2004, is included in the “Less than 1 Year” column as this is the “scheduled” payment date. It is recorded as a current portion of long-term debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of April 22, 2004, we had no outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility.

 

Leases: We are contractually obligated to make minimum lease payments on several operating leases. We lease office space, computer and office equipment and vehicles under operating leases, some of which contain renewal options and generally require us to pay insurance, taxes and maintenance. The lease on our headquarters building includes scheduled base rent increases over the term of the lease. We charge to expense the total amount of the base rent payments using the straight-line method over the term of the lease. In addition, we pay a monthly allocation of the building’s operating expenses. We have recorded a deferred credit to reflect the excess of rent expense over cash payments since inception of the lease in March 1999.

 

Minimum royalty payments: We have certain relationships with third party solution providers whereby we sell their products in conjunction with our offerings. Under most agreements, we pay a royalty to the respective third party providers based upon the dollar volume of their products we sell. Under certain of these agreements, we owe minimum royalty payments on an annual basis.

 

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

 

See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Application of Critical Accounting Polices,” contained in our September 30, 2003 annual report on Form 10-K for discussion regarding the application of critical accounting policies

 

Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

There were no accounting pronouncements issued during the three or six months ended March 31, 2004 that were applicable to our operations.

 

ITEM 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Except as discussed in the following paragraphs, we do not engage in trading market risk sensitive instruments nor do we purchase, whether for investment, hedging or purposes “other than trading,” instruments that are likely to expose us to market risk, whether foreign currency exchange rate, interest rate, commodity price or equity price risk. We have not issued any debt instruments, entered into any forward or futures contracts, purchased any options or entered into any swaps, except as discussed in the following paragraphs.

 

Interest Rate Sensitivity

 

At March 31, 2004, the interest rate on our term loan, including the lender’s margin, was 3.65%. At March 31, 2004, the interest rate on the revolving credit portion of the bank credit facility, including the lender’s margin, was 5.00%. We prepared a sensitivity analysis of our interest rate exposures from anticipated levels of financing for the six months ended March 31, 2004 to assess the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates. Based upon our analysis, a 10% adverse change in the LIBOR rate from March 31, 2004 rates would not have a material adverse effect on the fair value of our debt instrument and would not materially affect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

 

31


Table of Contents

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Sensitivity

 

Some of our operations generate cash denominated in foreign currency. Consequently, we are exposed to certain foreign currency exchange rate risks. As a result, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in the foreign markets in which we distribute products. When the U.S. dollar strengthens against a foreign currency, the value of our sales in that currency converted to U.S. dollars decreases. When the U.S. dollar weakens, the value of our sales in that currency converted to U.S. dollars increases.

 

From time to time, we may enter into forward exchange contracts or purchase options to minimize the effect of changes in exchange rates on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. We incurred a net foreign currency transaction loss of $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared with a $0.1 million foreign currency transaction gain in the three months ended March 31, 2003. For the six months ended March 31, 2004, we had a nominal foreign currency transaction gain of less than $0.1 million compared to a foreign currency transaction gain of $0.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2003. The slight foreign currency transaction loss in the three months ended March 31, 2004 was mostly due to transactions within EMEA with the Euro weakening slightly from December 31, 2003 to March 31, 2004. The gain for the six months ended March 31, 2004 is due mostly to transaction in EMEA and Asia Pacific where rates have risen over the past twelve months. We did not have any open forward exchange contracts or options or other trading financial instruments with foreign exchange risk at March 31, 2004 or March 31, 2003. At March 31, 2004, we had the following non-trading other financial instruments denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

 

Cash and cash equivalents

   $ 4,888

Trade accounts receivable (a)

   $ 11,773

Trade accounts payable

   $ 3,432

(a) Approximately $8.2 million of this amount is denominated in euros, pounds sterling or yen.

 

As our foreign operations increase, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by future changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For further information see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Factors Affecting Future Performance—Our international operations subject us to a number of risks that could substantially hinder our future growth and current results” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003.

 

Inflation

 

Although we cannot accurately determine the amounts attributable thereto, we have been affected by inflation, through increased costs of employee compensation and other operation expenses. To the extent permitted by the marketplace for our products and services, we attempt to recover increases in costs by periodically increasing prices. Additionally, most of our customer agreements provide for annual increases in charges.

 

ITEM 4: Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934) as of March 31, 2004, the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date in timely alerting our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to material changes in information required to be included in our periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2004, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We are not required at this time to provide the information specified in Item 308(a) and (b) of the SEC’s Regulation S-K regarding an annual report by management on our internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report by our independent accountants with regard thereto.

ITEM 5: Other Information

 

Quarterly Stock Options Disclosures

 

At March 31, 2004, we had stock options or shares of common stock outstanding under eight stock option plans and an employee stock purchase plan, described below.

 

The 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The MAPICS, Inc. 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan, or 1998 LTIP, allows us to issue up to 6,000,000 shares of common stock through various stock-based awards to our directors, officers, employees and consultants. The stock-based awards can be in the form of (a) incentive stock options, or ISOs, or non-qualified stock options; (b) stock appreciation rights; (c) performance units; (d) restricted stock; (e) dividend equivalents; and (f) other stock based awards. In general, the exercise price specified in the agreement relating to each ISO granted under the 1998 LTIP is required to be not less than the fair market value of the common stock as of the date of grant.

 

Restricted stock are shares of common stock that we granted outright without cost to the employee. The shares, however, are restricted in that they may not be sold or otherwise transferred by the employee until they vest, generally after the end of three years. If the employee is terminated prior to the vesting date for any reason other than death or retirement, the restricted stock generally will be forfeited and the restricted stock will be returned to us. After the shares have vested, they become unrestricted and may be transferred and sold like any other shares of common stock.

 

The Directors Plan. The MAPICS, Inc. 1998 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan allows us to issue non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 460,000 shares of common stock to eligible members of our board of directors who are neither our employees nor our officers. In general, the exercise price specified in the agreement relating to each non-qualified stock option granted under the Directors Plan is required to be the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant. Subject to specific provisions, stock options granted under the Directors Plan become exercisable in various increments over a period of one to four years, provided that the optionee has continuously served as a member of the board of directors through the vesting date. The stock options granted under the Directors Plan expire ten years from the date of grant.

 

The Directors Incentive Plan. The 1998 Non-Employee Directors Stock Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of common stock, deferred rights to receive common stock and non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 160,000 shares of common stock to eligible members of our board of directors who are neither our employees nor our officers.

Table of Contents

The 1987 Plan. Prior to its expiration on December 31, 1996, the Marcam Corporation 1987 Stock Plan allowed us to grant ISOs to our employees and non-qualified stock options and stock awards to our officers, employees and consultants. In general, the exercise price specified in the agreement relating to each ISO granted under the 1987 Plan was required to be not less than the fair market value of the common stock as of the date of grant. Subject to specific provisions, stock options granted under the 1987 Plan were fully exercisable on the date of grant or became exercisable thereafter in installments specified by the board of directors. The stock options granted under the 1987 Plan expire on dates specified by the board of directors not to exceed a period of ten years from the date of grant.

 

The 1994 Plan. Prior to its discontinuation in February 1998, the Marcam Corporation 1994 Stock Plan allowed us to grant ISOs to our employees and non-qualified stock options and stock awards to our officers, employees and consultants. In general, the exercise price specified in the agreement relating to each ISO granted under the 1994 Plan was required to be not less than the fair market value of the common stock as of the date of grant. The 1994 Plan required non-qualified stock options to be granted with an exercise price that was not less than the minimum legal consideration required under applicable state law. Subject to specific provisions, stock options granted under the 1994 Plan were fully exercisable on the date of grant or became exercisable after the date of grant in installments specified by the board of directors. The stock options granted under the 1994 Plan expire on dates specified by the board of directors not to exceed a period of ten years from the date of grant.

 

The 1992 Plan. The Frontstep Amended and Restated Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for Key Employees was approved on February 18, 2003 in connection with the acquisition of Frontstep. The 1992 Plan provides that we are authorized to issue 238,974 shares of common stock to holders of options under a prior Frontstep plan. The options of the original Frontstep plan were converted based on the same conversion ratio used for the exchange of Frontstep stock into MAPICS common stock. No additional options will be granted under the 1992 Plan. Substantially all of the options under the 1992 Plan are fully vested and expire on the original scheduled expiration date or 90 days after the employee is no longer employed by us. Upon the surrender of the options, they are no longer available for reissuance.

 

The 1999 Plan. The Frontstep Second Amended and Restated 1999 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for Key Employees was approved on February 18, 2003 in connection with the acquisition of Frontstep. The 1999 Plan provides that we are authorized to issue 182,945 shares of common stock to holders of options under a prior Frontstep plan. The options of the original Frontstep plan were converted based on the same conversion ratio used for the exchange of Frontstep stock into MAPICS common stock. No additional options will be granted under the 1999 Plan. All options under the 1999 Plan are fully vested and expire on the original scheduled expiration date or 90 days after the employee is no longer employed by us. Upon the surrender of the options, they are no longer available for reissuance.

 

The 2000 ESPP. The MAPICS, Inc. 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or 2000 ESPP, was approved during fiscal 2000 and provides that we are authorized to issue up to 500,000 shares of common stock to our full-time employees, nearly all of whom are eligible to participate. The 2000 ESPP is a qualified plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the terms of the 2000 ESPP, employees, excluding those owning 5 percent or more of the common stock, can choose every six months to have up to 10 percent of their base and bonus earnings withheld to purchase common stock, subject to limitations. The purchase price of the common stock is 85 percent of the lower of its beginning-of-period or end-of-period market price.

 

Additional Stock Option Grants. During prior fiscal years, the board of directors authorized the issuance of stock options to purchase 25,260 shares of common stock, which we granted outside of the existing stock option plans.

 

Except for the look-back options issued under the 2000 ESPP, all stock options granted under our stock-based compensation plans, as well as those stock options granted outside our stock-based compensation plans, were granted at exercise prices not less than the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant.

(a) Does not include the cancellation of an expiring option for 20,000 shares and the associated $92,910 cash payment to Mr. Cook on November 24, 2003. At the time of the cancellation, Mr. Cook was not allowed to sell the shares in the open market because the registration statement underlying those shares was ineffective due to the fact that we had not yet filed certain pro-forma financial information related to the Frontstep acquisition. Mr. Cook agreed to surrender this option to us in exchange for payment of the difference between the trailing 20 day average closing price of the stock as reported by NASDAQ and the exercise price of the stock option. The proceeds have been reported as other compensation to Mr. Cook.

In connection with our 1992 acquisition of Bryce Business Systems, we issued options to acquire a total of 25,260 shares of our common stock to the owners of Bryce. The issuance of the options and related option shares was approved by our board of directors but was not required to be submitted to our shareholders for approval. Options for 10,365 of those shares were granted on October 1, 1992 at an exercise price of $15.39 per share and expired on September 30, 2002 unexercised. Options for the remaining 14,895 shares were granted on August 29, 1995 at an exercise price of $7.88 per share, of which options for 13,695 shares remain unexercised. These options are fully vested and expire on August 28, 2005. The underlying shares remain available for issuance if the options are exercised.
