Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

(1) Basis of Presentation

 

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 also have condensed these notes, and they do not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read 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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (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 No. 148. We did not record stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding stock options in the three or nine months ended June 30, 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 is 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 perpetual license agreements or annual renewable term 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 support 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 experienced any significant warranty claim losses related to our products, and we have no reason to believe that we will incur any material claim losses 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 implementation and consulting services revenue, and revenue is recognized when services are provided.

 

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

 

We apply 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 and unvested restricted common stock, and common stock warrants 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 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 tradenames and maintenance contracts, was based on management’s best estimate, which included a consultation and review with a third party appraiser. We allocated the $38.9 million 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 option 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 under the Securities Act of 1933 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 we no longer employ the employee. 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 per share and expires on July 17, 2006.

(7) Income Taxes

 

The reported income tax expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 was calculated based on our projected annual effective tax rate of 36.5%. For the three months ended June 30, 2004, our reported income tax was calculated

 

10


Table of Contents

based upon an overall effective tax rate of 37.5%. The reported income tax expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 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.

 

The reported income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003 includes a $2.1 million tax benefit. This tax benefit resulted from changes in income taxes payable due to the resolution of federal income tax uncertainties related to tax net operating losses (NOLs) retained by MAPICS in connection with our 1997 spin-off of Marcam Solutions, Inc. Accordingly, we recorded this income tax benefit and a corresponding decrease in income taxes payable. 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. Excluding the $2.1 million tax benefit discussed above, the reported income tax expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003 was calculated based on our projected effective tax rate of 37.0% and 36.9%. The reported income tax expense excluding the $2.1 million benefit differs from the expected income tax expense calculated by applying the federal statutory rate of 35.0% to our income before income tax expense principally due to the impact of state and foreign income taxes.

 

At June 30, 2004, we estimate that we had domestic federal NOL carryforwards of $37.7 million and research and experimentation and other credit carryforwards of $9.2 million. At June 30, 2004, we also had $12.2 million foreign NOL carryforwards. The domestic NOL carryforwards and tax credits at June 30, 2004 expire between fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2023. The utilization of a significant portion of the domestic NOL carryforwards and tax credits is limited on an annual basis due to various changes in the ownership of MAPICS and previously acquired companies. We do not believe that these limitations will significantly impact our ability to utilize MAPICS, Frontstep’s and Pivotpoint’s NOL carryforwards 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 is included in our valuation allowance in connection with the purchase price allocation of Frontstep. We also have a valuation allowance for certain of our foreign NOL carryforwards. There have been no changes in the valuation allowance for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 from the amount reported at September 30, 2003. We believe these NOL carryforwards and tax credits will continue to result in cash savings in future periods as we use them to offset income taxes payable. 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 then 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 $2.5 million and $7.9 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with $2.1 million and $5.5 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003. Amortization of computer software costs for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 included $0.6 million for the prospective adjustment of the amortization lives from five years to three years.

On February 18, 2003 we completed the acquisition of Frontstep. 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 the acquisition. The allocation of the total purchase price to the intangible assets, including tradenames, maintenance contracts, and acquired technology was based on management’s best estimate, which included a consultation and review with a third party appraiser. We allocated the $38.9 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 and Exit Costs 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 June 30, 2004, we had $2.4 million remaining in our restructuring and exit costs 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 in accordance with EITF 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination.” We recorded the remaining $1.8 million in exit costs 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 we subsequently terminated on February 21, 2003. During the nine months ended June 30, 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 as 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. At June 30, 2004, we have $0.6 million remaining in our restructuring and exit costs reserve relating to fiscal 2003 activities.

 

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004, we recorded exit costs of $2.2 and $2.6 million primarily related to employee severance and related costs for approximately 70 employees from all areas in our North America and Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) regions, of which $2.6 million was included in restructuring costs on our statement of operations and accounted for under the provisions of SFAS No. 112, “Employers’ Accounting for Postemployment Benefits”. The work force reduction during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 was done primarily to reduce costs. At June 30, 2004, we had $2.0 million remaining in our restructuring and exit costs reserve relating to activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2004.

We expect future cash expenditures related to these restructuring activities to be approximately $5.0 million. We expect to pay approximately $3.0 million during the next twelve months, and we therefore have included this amount in current liabilities. We expect to pay the remaining $2.0 million by fiscal 2007.

 

As shown in the table above, our restructuring and exit costs reserve at June 30, 2004 is comprised of the estimated excess lease and related costs associated with vacated office space and costs accrued for employee severance and related costs associated with work force reductions. 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.

 

(11) Commitments and Contingencies

 

Debt: The debt included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets is related to the term loan portion of our bank credit facility. We did not borrow against our revolving credit facility during the quarter ended June 30, 2004, and as of June 30, 2004 we had no outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility. During July 2004 we repaid the remaining $8.0 million term loan balance. As a result of the repayment, the term loan is no longer available for future borrowings.

See “Item 1. Financial Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003 for further discussion regarding our commitments and contingencies.

 

(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, which we refer to as operating profit, 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 a relevant measure of segment profit or loss because 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 include 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. We review assets at the enterprise level and thus do not include them in our segment disclosure.

 

The following table includes interim financial information for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 related to our segments. The information presented below may not be indicative of results if the segments were independent organizations (in thousands).

Our principal administrative, marketing, product development and support operations are located in the United States. Areas of operation outside of North America include 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 geographic area information because some of the income and expenses of this division are not allocated separately to the geographic areas. We have not allocated a portion of the product development costs of $3.3 million and $10.9 million for three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 and $5.2 million and $13.5 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003 incurred in the United States to the other geographic areas, We also have not allocated administrative costs of $4.8 million and $16.1 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 and $5.2 million and $14.0 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003 incurred in the United States to the other geographic areas.

 

The following table includes interim financial information for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 related to our geographic areas. The information presented below may not be indicative of results if the geographic areas were independent organizations (in thousands).

(13) Long-Term Debt

 

We repaid $4.5 million of the term loan portion of our bank credit facility and the remaining $1.8 million outstanding balance of our revolving credit facility during the quarter ended June 30, 2004. We did not borrow against our revolving credit facility during the quarter ended June 30, 2004, and as of June 30, 2004 we had no outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility. We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of June 30, 2004.

 

During the month of July 2004, we repaid the remaining $8.0 million that was outstanding as of June 30, 2004. In addition, with the repayment of the outstanding balance, the term loan portion of the bank credit facility is no longer available as a funding source. Our $12.5 million revolving credit facility remains available as a source of funding, if needed, subject to the borrowing base. Certain of the debt covenants regarding the bank credit facility have been amended to reflect the repayment of the outstanding balances on the term loan portion of our bank credit facility.

 

(14) Preferred Stock Conversion

 

In October 2003, the holder of 25,000 outstanding shares of our Series D convertible preferred stock converted these shares into our common stock at the conversion ratio of 10 shares of common stock for each share of preferred stock as set forth in the shareholder agreement. A total of 250,000 common shares were issued from treasury stock. As a result, the liquidation preference for the Series D convertible preferred stock was reduced by $7.5 million.

 

In June 2004, the holder of all of the 100,000 outstanding shares of our Series D convertible preferred stock and all of the 50,000 outstanding shares of our Series E convertible preferred stock converted these shares into our common stock at the conversion ratio of 10 shares of common stock for each share of preferred stock as set forth in the preferred shareholder agreement. A total of 1.5 million common shares were issued from previously authorized shares not currently outstanding. As of June 30, 2004 we had 1.0 million shares of preferred stock authorized but had no preferred shares outstanding. As a result of the conversion, those shareholders no longer hold any preferences or rights with regard to the Series D and Series E convertible preferred stock including the liquidation preference.

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.

 

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. 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.

 

On February 18, 2003, we acquired Frontstep, Inc., 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 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 mid-market manufacturing market.

 

Summary

 

Over the past four 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 geographic areas. In addition, there has been a general shift in manufacturing operations to lower cost geographic areas like Asia.

 

We believe the indications of economic improvements in the U.S. and other geographic areas over the past year coupled with improvement in the overall manufacturing sector have begun to favorably impact our customers’ operations. We believe these factors have improved capital investment sentiment in several geographic areas. 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. Furthermore, while economic growth is evident in the U.S. and Asia Pacific, there are now signs that this growth may be moderating, particularly for U.S. manufacturing. In addition, 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 declined while our operating profits improved in the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2003. The revenue decline was due principally to a decrease in the demand for iSeries software solutions as well a decrease in revenue from our Progress platform based Syteline 6 due to the introduction of Syteline 7 within our distribution channels. MAPICS Syteline 7 is our initial release of an offering redeveloped for the latest Microsoft.Net technology. As a result of the activities to mature the offering during its first year of productive use by customers, translated versions of Syteline 7 for EMEA and Asia Pacific were not generally available until the quarter ended June 30, 2004.

 

Our operating profits improved in the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with the same period in the prior year primarily due to past restructuring efforts, personnel cost reductions, revenue mix, and improved productivity and operating efficiencies driven by the synergies created when the MAPICS and Frontstep operations were combined. We lowered operating costs across our operations during the quarter ended June 30, 2004. In addition, we undertook a restructuring effort in certain of our North American and international operating areas that we believe will lead to additional cost savings in the future. Our restructuring efforts reduced personnel and leased office space over the past twelve months. This in turn lowered our direct and indirect cost of operations and improved company wide productivity.

 

Our revenue and operating profits improved in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period last year. The increase in revenue and operating profit was principally due to the addition of revenue from the Frontstep business acquired in February 2003 and cost savings derived from recent restructuring efforts. Revenue from the Frontstep business is reflected in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003 only from the February 18, 2003 closing date through June 30, 2003. For the nine months ended June 30, 2004, our revenues improved in all segments and major geographic areas as compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2003. The improved operating profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 were similarly due to past restructuring efforts, personnel cost reductions, revenue mix, and improved productivity and operating efficiencies driven by the synergies created when the MAPICS and Frontstep operations were combined.

 

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 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 nine months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003. We borrowed $1.5 million against our revolving credit line for working capital purposes in the nine months ended June 30, 2004. We repaid $1.8 and $5.5 million of the revolving credit line during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004. We repaid $4.5 million and $7.0 million of our term loan in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004. The repayments were funded primarily with cash from operations and the proceeds of employee stock option exercises. Subsequent to June 30, 2004, we repaid the remaining $8.0 million of term loan debt that was outstanding on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2004. These repayments were also funded primarily with cash from operations and proceeds of employee stock option exercises. As of July 26, 2004, we had no outstanding balances on either the term loan portion of our bank credit facility or our revolving credit facility. With the repayment, the term loan is no longer available as a potential funding source. Our $12.5 million revolving credit facility remains available as a source of potential funding if needed, subject to the borrowing base.

 

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 we incurred costs related to compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley regulations. While these costs were not significant during this period, we anticipate that these costs will become significant in future periods. The cost of compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley regulations may cause a significant increase in our general and administrative expenses in the next twelve to eighteen months.

 

Results of Operations

 

Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2003

 

Our results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 and the three months ended June 30, 2003 include the results of Frontstep. Our results for nine months ended June 30, 2003 include the results of Frontstep

from the February 18, 2003 acquisition date through June 30, 2003. The integration of the Frontstep operations into our operating structure was completed during the three months ended December 31, 2003.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2004, we reported net income of $2.2 million, or $0.08 per share (diluted), compared to a net income of $3.0 million, or $0.12 per share (diluted), for the three months ended June 30, 2003. For the three months ended June 30, 2004, total revenue decreased $5.3 million or 11.2% while operating expenses decreased $7.2 million or 15.8% from the year earlier quarter.

 

For the nine months ended June 30, 2004, we reported net income of $6.6 million, or $0.25 per share (diluted), compared to net income of $3.0 million, or $0.13 per share (diluted) for the nine months ended June 30, 2003. For the nine months ended June 30, 2004, total revenue increased $12.6 million or 10.9% while operating expenses increased $3.5 million or 3.0% compared to the nine months ended June 30, 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 was $1.9 million at October 1, 2003 and $1.3 million at June 30, 2004. The remaining vacation benefit accrual at September 30, 2004 will be forfeited and will most likely result in a benefit in the form of a reduction in expense in our statement of operations.

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2004 decreased by $5.3 million as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2003. The revenue decline was due principally to a decrease in the demand for iSeries software solutions as well a decrease in revenue from our Progress platform based Syteline 6 due to the introduction of Syteline 7 within our distribution channels. MAPICS Syteline 7 is our initial release of an offering redeveloped for the latest Microsoft.Net technology. As a result of the activities to mature the offering during its first year of productive use by customers, translated versions of Syteline 7 for EMEA and Asia Pacific were not generally available until the quarter ended June 30, 2004.

 

Total revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 increased by $12.6 million as compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in total revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 was principally due to the revenue from the Syteline solutions acquired in the Frontstep acquisition being included in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 and only included from February 18, 2003 to June 30, 2003 during the nine months ended June 30, 2003. Excluding Frontstep, our total revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 decreased by $12.0 million or 12.4%. This decrease is due to the fact that most new customer transactions are licensing our Syteline 7 solution as discussed above.

 

Software Sales Revenue

 

License Revenue: Total license revenue decreased $3.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease is attributable to a decrease of $1.3 million in contract activity and a $2.2 million decrease in net deferred license revenue recognized related to our MAPICS ERP for iSeries products. The decrease in contract activity for our MAPICS ERP for iSeries products is the result of increased sales and marketing activities for our Syteline 7 solution as most new customer transactions are licensing this solution. We also experienced a slight decline in contract activity due to a decrease in demand for our Progress platform based Syteline 6 product related to the introduction of Syteline 7 redeveloped for the latest Microsoft technology and associated product transition issues as described above. The decrease in net deferred license revenue recognized is from our MAPICS ERP for iSeries license agreements, which are typically deferred and amortized ratably over a twelve-month period. This $2.2 million decrease in net deferred license revenue recognized is attributable to lower contract activity for our MAPICS ERP for iSeries license agreements over the past twelve-months as compared to the prior year.

 

Total license revenue increased $1.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in license revenue is attributable to an increase of $3.0 million in contract activity primarily from an increase in contract activity of $7.7 million for products acquired in the Frontstep acquisition offset by a decrease of $4.6 million in contract activity 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 a decrease in demand for iSeries software solutions. In addition, we have devoted a greater focus of our sales and marketing efforts on the acquired

product offerings and as a result, we have experienced some decline in our ERP for iSeries contract activity. The increase in total revenue from increased contract activity was offset slightly by lower net deferred license revenue recognized in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2003. Net deferred license revenue is recognized primarily from our MAPICS ERP for iSeries license agreements, which are typically deferred and amortized ratably over a twelve-month period. The lower net deferred revenue recognized is due to lower contract activity for the MAPICS ERP for iSeries product over the past twelve months as compared to the prior year.

 

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004, we executed 293 and 914 transactions with an average contract price of $37,000 and $34,300 respectively. This compares to 390 and 718 transactions in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003 with an average contract price of $31,000 and $39,500, respectively. The decrease in the number of transactions for the three months ended June 30, 2004 is due to the delays in the Syteline 7 product transition as noted in our discussion of changes in total revenues above. The increase in the number of transactions for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 is due to the inclusion of transactions from the acquired Frontstep product lines. The average contract price increased for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2003 as a result of fewer Syteline transactions due to the new Syteline 7 product transition delays mentioned earlier. Syteline products typically have smaller transaction sizes concentrated in geographic areas with lower average selling prices. The average contract price decreased in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2003 due to an increase in Syteline transactions resulting from the addition of a full nine months of the Frontstep product lines in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with the same period in the prior year. In addition, there was a greater volume of sales of add-on products, which carry a lower average contract price, to existing customers in the nine months ended June 30, 2004.

 

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. Support services revenue decreased by $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2003 due to a $2.9 million decrease in support service revenue for MAPICS ERP for iSeries products partially offset by an increase of $2.1 million in Syteline product support service revenue. The decrease in MAPICS ERP for iSeries support services revenue was primarily the result a decline in the MAPICS ERP for iSeries support base principally due to reductions in supported users and applications for our iSeries products. The product transition licensing delays related to the Syteline 7 product, as mentioned above, also had a slight impact on the Syteline support services revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2004.

 

Support services revenue increased $8.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2003. The increase 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 nine months ended June 30, 2004 declined $8.0 million compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2003. The decline is principally due to a lower MAPICS ERP for iSeries support base principally caused by 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. Implementation and consulting revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2004 decreased by $1.1 million as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease in revenue is primarily due to the decrease in license contract activity, which typically drives implementation and consulting service activity.

 

For the nine months ended June 30, 2004, implementation and consulting revenues increased $2.9 million compared to the nine months ended June 30, 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. The increase in implementation and consulting services revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 was slightly offset by the decrease in the three months ended June 30, 2004 associated with the decrease in license volume mentioned above. Implementation and consulting services revenues improved across all geographic areas in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2003 as a result of the inclusion of the Frontstep implementation and consulting services revenue.

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004, total revenue mix as a percentage of total revenue by geographic area changed slightly as compared with the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003. Total revenue from Asia Pacific increased 0.8% and 1.7% during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003. We believe that a contributing factor to the increase in Asia Pacific revenue is the continued 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. The decline in EMEA license revenue as a percentage of total license revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2004 is due to the new product transition delays as noted in our discussion of changes in total revenue. These delays also impacted EMEA implementation and consulting revenue as a percentage of total implementation and consulting revenue. This delay had a less significant impact on the Asia Pacific percentage change in revenue for license revenue and implementation and consulting revenue due to the general increase in activity in the region. Another factor contributing to the changes in percentage of total revenues are currency fluctuations. The Euro, British Pound Sterling, Japanese Yen and Australian Dollar were approximately 6.1%, 9.8%, 9.2% and 3.4% higher against the U.S. Dollar at June 30, 2004 than at June 30, 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 $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease of $1.1 million in royalty expense. Royalty expense decreased by $0.6 million related to our MAPICS ERP for iSeries product line and $0.5 million related to our Syteline product line. The decrease in iSeries license royalties was due to the decline in license contract activity over the preceding twelve months. The decrease in Syteline license royalties was due to the transition of new customers to the new Syteline 7 solution, which has a lower overall royalty rate, and to a lesser extent, a slight decline in license contract activity. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in capitalized software amortization of $0.4 million as compared with the same period of the prior year. We performed a net realizable value test for all of our products lines at the end of fiscal 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. The increase in capitalized software amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was due to this prospective change in the estimated remaining economic lives of these products.

 

Cost of license revenue increased $0.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2003. The increase was partly due to royalties and amortization related to the acquired Frontstep products. Amortization of capitalized software increased by $2.3 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 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 $1.8 million decrease in royalty expense. Royalty expense related to our MAPICS ERP for iSeries product line decreased by $2.3 million offset slightly by a $0.5 million increase in royalties related to the Syteline product line. The decrease in royalty expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2003 was primarily the result of the decrease in license volume on the MAPICS ERP for iSeries product, offset slightly by an increase in license volume related to the Syteline product line. Royalties on the Syteline product are generally lower per dollar of license revenue than are royalties on 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

 

Cost of support services revenue decreased $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease in cost of support services revenue was related primarily to a $0.5 million decrease in personnel costs due to a reduction in the number of staff necessary to support the combined product lines, and a $0.2 million decrease in other direct cost of support services revenue.

 

Cost of support services revenue increased $2.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in cost of support services revenue was due primarily to the inclusion of Frontstep cost of support services revenue in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2003. The increase was comprised of a $1.4 million increase in compensation expense for additional support personnel to support additional customers and related support revenue as a result of the Frontstep acquisition, $0.6 million in royalty costs associated with the addition

of support revenue related to the Frontstep acquisition, $0.4 million in amortization related to a maintenance contract intangible asset and $0.4 million in other direct support costs.

 

Cost of Implementation and Consulting Services Revenue

 

Cost of implementation and consulting services revenue decreased $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease was comprised of a $0.5 million decrease in implementation and consulting service personnel costs due to a reduction in implementation and consulting services revenue and the number of professionals needed to provide implementation and consulting services, and a $0.3 million decrease in other direct costs of implementation and consulting services revenue.

 

Cost of implementation and consulting services revenue increased $2.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2003. 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 nine months ended June 30, 2004. The increase was comprised primarily of a $1.6 million increase in personnel costs related to the addition of Frontstep service professionals and associated service contracts, and additional service professionals needed due to improved revenue during the period. The increase was also comprised of an increase of $0.8 million in fees for professional service contractors used on certain engagements.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

 

Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $4.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2003 and decreased by 7.0% as a percentage of total revenue over the same period. A principal reason for the decrease was a $1.9 million decrease in selling and marketing personnel costs as a result of staff reductions due to the synergies gained from the combination of the Frontstep and MAPICS sales and marketing organizations. Fewer professionals were needed to sell and market the combined product offerings. Another contributing factor for the decrease in selling and marketing expense was the reduction in license contract activity. The decrease also included $1.1 million in reduced commission expense due to a higher percentage of revenue generated by our direct sales channel, which has lower variable costs rather than our affiliate channel. Additionally, the decrease included a $0.7 million reduction in direct marketing costs, and $0.8 million in reduced general selling and marketing expenditures.

 

For the nine months ended June 30, 2004, selling and marketing expense decreased by $3.7 million as compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2003 and decreased by 6.1% as a percentage of revenue over the comparable prior year period. This decrease was comprised of, a $2.8 million decrease in commission expense due to a higher percentage of revenue generated by our direct sales channel, which has lower variable costs rather than our affiliate channel. The decrease also included a $2.1 million decrease in direct marketing costs as we focused our marketing programs on our existing customer base, a $0.7 million increase in personnel costs for the addition of selling and marketing personnel as a result of the Frontstep acquisition, primarily in North America and Asia Pacific, and a $0.5 million increase in general selling and marketing spending related to the use of consultants for third party product education. With regard to our affiliate network and the associated commissions paid, 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 expenses decreased $1.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2003 and decreased 3.2% as a percentage of total revenues from the comparable prior year period. The decrease in product development expenses was the result of a $1.1 million decrease in product development spending, a $0.6 million increase in capitalization of product development costs associated with products that have reached technological feasibility and a $0.2 million increase in capitalization of software translation costs primarily associated with translating the Syteline product into various languages in Europe and Asia Pacific. The decrease in product development spending is primarily related to a reduction in staff due to a discontinuation of development activities on one of our product offerings that no longer generate significant license revenue and other personnel related items. The increase in capitalized software costs are due to the release of the new Syteline 7 product offering as well as releases of extension products to our core ERP applications. Development was still ongoing in the comparable prior year period.

 

For the nine months ended June 30, 2004, total product development expenses decreased $2.7 million as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2003 and decreased 3.2% as a percentage of total revenue from the comparable prior year period. The decrease was due to an increase in total capitalization costs of $4.6 million, partially offset by a $1.9 million increase in product development spending. For the nine months ended June 30, 2004, the increase in capitalization was 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 total product development spending also increased to 47.0% and 44.3% in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with 28.5% and 23.1% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003. These increases were also due to an increase in the number of acquired Frontstep 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 $1.1 million decrease in product development spending in the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2003 was due to a decrease of $0.9 in product development personnel costs due to a reduction in the number of in-house developers and increased reliance on our outsource development contract, a decrease of $0.4 million in outsourced development costs due to the new Syteline 7 product offering having reached technological feasibility, and a $0.2 million decrease in other product development activities, offset partially by an increase of $0.4 million in expense associated with translation activities. For the nine months ended June 30, 2004, product development spending increased $1.9 million compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2003. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $1.5 million in expense for translation activities, an increase of $0.3 million in outsourced development costs, and an increase of $0.1 million in other product development costs.

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses decreased $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2003 but increased 0.6% as a percentage of total revenue due to the decrease in total revenue from the prior year. The decrease principally consists of a $1.1 million reduction in personnel costs due to a reduction in general and administrative staff levels, offset partially by a $0.6 million increase in foreign exchange losses due to the strengthening of foreign currencies, namely the Euro and the British Pound Sterling against the U.S. Dollar, and a $0.2 million increase in other general and administrative expense.

 

For the nine months ended June 30, 2004, general and administrative expenses increased $2.2 million as compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2003. The increase was primarily due to a $1.0 million increase in tax, audit and legal fees associated with the completion of a Form 8-K/A, containing financial information for the Frontstep acquisition, that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Committee during the quarter ended December 31, 2003, a $0.8 million increase in foreign exchange losses due to the strengthening of foreign currencies, namely the Euro and the British Pound Sterling against the U.S. Dollar, and a $0.4 million increase in other general and administrative expenses.

 

Restructuring Charge

 

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 June 30, 2004, we had $2.4 million remaining in our restructuring and exit costs 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 in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination.” We recorded the remaining $1.8 million in exit costs 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 we subsequently terminated on February 21, 2003. During the nine months ended June 30, 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 as restructuring costs in our statement of operations under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (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. At June 30, 2004, we have $0.6 million remaining in our restructuring and exit costs reserve relating to fiscal 2003 activities.

 

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004, we recorded exit costs of $2.2 and $2.6 million primarily related to employee severance and related costs for approximately 70 employees from all areas in our North America and EMEA regions, of which $2.6 million was included in restructuring costs on our statement of operations and accounted for under the provisions of SFAS No. 112, “Employers’ Accounting for Postemployment Benefits”. The work force reduction during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 was done primarily to reduce costs. At June 30, 2004, we had $2.0 million remaining in our restructuring and exit costs reserve relating to activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2004.

We expect future cash expenditures related to these restructuring activities to be approximately $5.0 million. We expect to pay approximately $3.0 million during the next twelve months, and we therefore have included this amount in current liabilities. We expect to pay the remaining $2.0 million by fiscal 2007.

 

As shown in the table above, our restructuring and exit costs reserve at June 30, 2004 is comprised of the estimated excess lease and related costs associated with vacated office space and costs accrued for employee severance and related costs associated with work force reductions. 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.

 

Other Income and Expense

 

Interest income was $15,000 and $99,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $38,000 and $98,000 from the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease in interest income is related primarily to a decrease in investable cash and lower interest rates in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003.

 

28


Table of Contents

Interest expense was $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $0.1 million as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2003. Interest expense was $0.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $0.1 million as compared with the nine months ended June 30, 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 Tax Expense (Benefit)

 

The reported income tax expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 was calculated based on our projected annual effective tax rate of 36.5%. For the three months ended June 30, 2004, our reported income tax was calculated based upon an overall effective tax rate of 37.5%. The reported income tax expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 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.

 

The reported income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003 includes a $2.1 million tax benefit. This tax benefit resulted from changes in income taxes payable due to the resolution of federal income tax uncertainties related to tax net operating losses (NOLs) retained by MAPICS in connection with our 1997 spin-off of Marcam Solutions, Inc. Accordingly, we recorded this income tax benefit and a corresponding decrease in income taxes payable. 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. Excluding the $2.1 million tax benefit discussed above, the reported income tax expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003 was calculated based on our projected effective tax rate of 37.0% and 36.9%. The reported income tax expense excluding the $2.1 million benefit differs from the expected income tax expense calculated by applying the federal statutory rate of 35.0% to our income before income tax expense principally due to the impact of state and foreign income taxes.

 

At June 30, 2004, we estimate that we had domestic federal NOL carryforwards of $37.7 million and research and experimentation and other credit carryforwards of $9.2 million. At June 30, 2004, we also had $12.2 million foreign NOL carryforwards. The domestic NOL carryforwards and tax credits at June 30, 2004 expire between fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2023. The utilization of a significant portion of the domestic NOL carryforwards and tax credits is limited on an annual basis due to various changes in the ownership of MAPICS and previously acquired companies. We do not believe that these limitations will significantly impact our ability to utilize MAPICS, Frontstep’s and Pivotpoint’s NOL carryforwards 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 is included in our valuation allowance in connection with the purchase price allocation of Frontstep. We also have a valuation allowance for certain of our foreign NOL carryforwards. There have been no changes in the valuation allowance for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 from the amount reported at September 30, 2003. We believe these NOL carryforwards and tax credits will continue to result in cash savings in future periods as we use them to offset income taxes payable. 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, supplemented as necessary by borrowings under our bank credit facility. 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.

Operating Activities

 

Net cash provided by operations was $18.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with $8.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2003. The $18.2 million in cash provided by operations was due to a $22.9 million positive impact on operating cash flows from non-cash items and a $5.6 million favorable impact from collections of accounts receivable, offset by a $10.2 million negative impact on operating cash flows associated with changes in other operating assets and liabilities. Significant non-cash items include $11.4 million in depreciation and amortization expenses, a $2.7 million decrease in deferred tax assets due to changes in temporary differences, $6.6 million from net income and a $1.8 million addition to the bad debt provision primarily related to an increase in general sales volume for the nine month period.

 

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 $10.4 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to the payment of liabilities related to normal operations, a $1.7 million decrease in deferred license and service revenue due to the recognition of deferred license and service revenue, and a $0.4 million decrease in the restructuring reserve due to payment of office space and severance related accruals. These decreases in operating cash were partially offset by operating cash inflows consisting of a $5.6 million decrease in accounts receivable because of collections of outstanding balances and $2.3 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 $9.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 related to the capitalization of $8.6 million in computer software costs associated with products that have reached technological feasibility and $1.0 million in purchases of fixed assets. The $4.5 million increase in capitalized software in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2003 related principally to the addition of the Syteline product line and other strategic extension products.

 

Net cash used by financing activities was $5.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. Net cash used by financing activities consisted of cash inflows of $4.8 million from employee exercises of stock options, $0.6 million in employee stock purchases and $1.5 million in borrowings against our revolving line of credit, offset by a $0.3 million repurchase of our stock in the open market, a $7.0 million repayment of our long-term debt, and a $5.5 million repayment representing the total outstanding balance of our revolving credit facility. We experienced significant cash inflow from employee exercises of stock options for the nine months ended June 30, 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 covering those shares was deemed suspended because the pro forma financial information had not been filed.

Table of Contents

During the month of July 2004, we repaid the remaining $8.0 million that was outstanding as of June 30, 2004. In addition, with the repayment of the outstanding balance, the term loan portion of the bank credit facility is no longer available as a funding source. Our $12.5 million revolving credit facility remains available as a source of funding, if needed, subject to the borrowing base. Certain of the debt covenants regarding the bank credit facility have been amended to reflect the repayment of the outstanding balances on the term loan portion of our bank credit facility. At June 30, 2004, the interest rate on our term loan, including the lender’s margin, was 3.66%. At June 30, 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 repurchased 33,300 shares of our common stock in the open market for $0.3 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2004. We repurchased a minimal amount of shares of our outstanding common stock during the nine months ended June 30, 2003.

 

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 June 30, 2004, together with cash flows from operations and available borrowings under our revolving 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 June 30, 2005, we may need to increase our revolving credit facility or undertake new 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.

 

Contractual Obligations and Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

 

Debt: The debt included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets is related to the term loan portion of our bank credit facility. We did not borrow against our revolving credit facility during the quarter ended June 30, 2004, and as of June 30, 2004 we had no outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility. During July 2004 we repaid the remaining $8.0 million term loan balance. As a result of the repayment, the term loan is no longer available for future borrowings.

 

See “Item 1. Financial Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003 for further discussion regarding our commitments and contingencies.

 

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,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003 for discussion regarding the application of critical accounting policies.

 

Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

There were no accounting pronouncements issued during the nine months ended June 30, 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

 

As of June 30, 2004, we did not have an outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility. The $12.5 million revolving credit facility is available to us as a funding source if needed, subject to the borrowing base. As of July 26, 2004 we repaid the remaining outstanding balance of our debt. As a result of this repayment, the term loan portion of our bank credit facility is no longer available to us as a funding source. As such, adverse changes in the LIBOR rate from June 30, 2004 rates would not have a material affect our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Sensitivity

 

Some of our operations generate cash denominated in foreign currencies. 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 $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared with a $0.4 million foreign currency transaction gain in the three months ended June 30, 2003. For the nine months ended June 30, 2004, we had a nominal foreign currency transaction loss of $0.2 million compared to a foreign currency transaction gain of $0.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2003. The foreign currency transaction losses in the three months ended June 30, 2004 were mostly due to transactions within EMEA with the Euro weakening during the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 was due mostly to transactions in EMEA and Asia Pacific where rates have declined slightly since the beginning of 2004. We did not have any open forward exchange contracts or options or other trading financial instruments with foreign exchange risk at June 30, 2004 or June 30, 2003. At June 30, 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

   $ 4,619

Trade accounts receivable (a)

   $ 11,777

Trade accounts payable

   $ 2,681

(a) Approximately $8.7 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 operating 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 evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 30, 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 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 June 30, 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.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1: Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of our business. The outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty. We do not believe that the legal matters to which we are currently a party are likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operation or financial condition.

 

ITEM 2: Changes in Securities, Use of Proceeds and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

 

The following table provides information about purchases we made of our common stock in the open market during the three months ended June 30, 2004. All purchases were made pursuant to a plan announced on July 31, 2002 under which we have been authorized by our board of directors to repurchase 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 or in the open market at prevailing market prices. The plan does not have a termination date. Through June 30, 2004, we have purchased 43,800 shares under the plan at an aggregate cost of $321,000. We are not aware of any purchases of our common stock from third parties by or on behalf of any affiliated purchaser of ours during the quarter ended June 30, 2004

ITEM 5: Other Information

 

Quarterly Stock Options Disclosures

 

At June 30, 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

Table of Contents

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.

 

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.

Amounts reported in the last two columns represent hypothetical amounts that may be realized upon exercise of the options immediately prior to the expiration of their term, assuming the specified compounded rates of appreciation of the common stock over the term of the options. The numbers shown in these two columns are calculated based on Securities and Exchange Commission rules and do not reflect our estimate of future stock price growth. Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises and common stock holdings depend on the timing of such exercises and the future performance of the common stock. We do not guarantee that the rates of appreciation assumed in these two columns can be achieved or that the amounts reflected will be received by the named executive officers. The two columns do not take into account any appreciation of the price of the common stock from the date of grant to the current date.
