Acquisition

 

We continue to pursue our business plan to grow our revenues and income through organic growth and strategic acquisitions. To that extent, on July 30, 2004, we completed the acquisition of Magic4 Ltd. (“Magic4”), a leading provider of messaging software for mass-market mobile phones, for total consideration of $82.6 million. We are integrating Magic4 into our client software operation. With this addition, we have strengthened our position as one of the leading open standards-based software provider for data phone manufacturers. Browsing and messaging are the core engines that power advanced mobile data services today. This acquisition deepens our relevance on the mobile phones while enabling manufacturers to deliver an intuitive user experience as operator service requirements evolve.

 

Industry

 

Industry Growth and Opportunities

 

We operate in both the mobile and wireline markets of the telecommunications industry. Within the mobile market, we partner with mobile operators and device manufacturers to deliver innovative and differentiated data services and next-generation mobile phones. Within the wireline market, we offer our modular, highly scalable IP-based messaging platform and complementary professional services to wireline service providers; broadband cable suppliers, digital subscriber line (“DSL”) operators, ISPs, and telecommunication providers.

 

Mobile Market

 

The mobile market continues to face a multitude of service and technological transitions, which has created a complex and challenging environment for the operators and vendors who serve the mobile market. Key technological transitions include the transition from second generation (“2G”) circuit-switched networks to third-generation (“3G”) IP-based networks. The number of advanced wireless data subscribers, those on 2.5G and 3G networks, rose sharply from 76 million in March 2003 to 133 million in March 2004 according to research from EMC World Data Metrics.

 

New data services are emerging and being actively deployed by service providers who are striving to increase revenue through, among other strategies, increased mobile data usage. Basic download services are improving as next generation networks and mobile phones enable the delivery of animation, color content and polyphonic ringtones, while games are becoming richer and more entertaining as mobile content providers develop applications for Java-capable devices. Location technologies may be used to launch innovative new applications, such as finding the nearest restaurant location, while person to person messaging is expanding beyond the basic text messaging, as operators offer email, and photo- and multimedia-messaging services. The number of networks deploying Multimedia Messaging Services (“MMS”), has gained rapid market acceptance, growing from 135 networks in March 2003 to 219 networks in March 2004, per EMC World Data Metrics. The mobile phone market has grown and is expected to continue to grow as indicated by research published by a number of leading telecommunications industry market research firms:

 

    The number of operators with commercial Code Division Multiple Access 2000 (“CDMA2000”) 1x networks grew from 49 in March 2003 to 75 in March 2004 (Source: EMC World Data Metrics, 2004).

 

    US carriers are starting to invest more heavily in 3G networks, a signal that they are relying on them for future revenue with the average revenue per user for voice calls declining. The monthly average revenue per subscriber from voice calls in 2007 will be $42.12 down from $51.36 per subscriber last year (Source: Yankee Group, 2004).

 

    Sales of camera phones increased from 25 million units in 2002 to 88 million units in 2003 (Source: Merrill Lynch, 2004).

    There will be 5.3 million 3G subscribers in Western Europe by the end of December 2004 with the number of customers to increase rapidly to reach 240 million by 2009 (Source: Analysis, 2004).

 

    Wireless data services will grow to more than $110 billion by 2007 (Source: Ovum, 2004).

 

The introduction of higher quality and feature-rich mobile phones (color screens, cameras and other multimedia applications) has raised mobile phone users’ expectations. We expect basic “silo-ed” services from downloads to location and presence to multimedia messaging will become more integrated and intuitive which should help drive usage and revenues. Therefore, we believe mobile phone operators will be looking for ways to provide subscribers with multiple applications and personalized services with an intuitive user experience.

 

Wireline

 

The wireline market has continued to grow due to the wider adoption of broadband services lead by cable and DSL services. This trend is exhibited by:

 

    The number of homes using high-speed Internet service in the United States growing to 25 million today and with an expected 35 million by year’s end (Source: Ovum, 2004).

 

    Future growth of worldwide broadband Internet subscriptions are expected to grow from 97 million at the end of 2003 to 187 million at the end of 2005 (Source: Ovum, 2004)

 

    The number of consumer mailboxes world wide rose 21% from 434 million in 2002 to 524 million in 2003 (Source: IDC, 2004)

 

Spam and Anti Virus

 

In both wireline and mobile markets, operators must deploy a more effective antispam and antivirus solution to ensure the usage of new services is not delayed or slowed down due to consumers’ frustrations with spam and viruses. Spam is growing so fast that it actually jeopardizes the future of broadband communications. Short message service (“SMS”) customers are also starting to receive spam. As a result, outbound abuse protection is now as important as inbound protection. Phishing is a prime example; phishing attacks use ‘spoofed’ emails and fraudulent web sites designed to fool recipients into divulging personal financial data. By hijacking the trusted brands of well-known banks, online retailers and credit card companies, these criminals are able to convince up to 5% of recipients to respond to them.

 

In order to successfully realize these new growth opportunities in both the mobile and wireline markets, we believe operators seek the right technology and expertise to develop new revenue generating data services with a better user experience that will attract and retain subscribers.

 

The Openwave Solution

 

Our customer relationships position us well to benefit from the growth of mobile data services, broadband, messaging and anti-abuse opportunities. We sell our software products worldwide, primarily to communications service providers, including wireless and wireline telecommunications operators and cable operators, as well as mobile phone manufacturers. We also provide our communication service provider customers with professional services that enable them to rapidly adopt our technology and bring wireless and wireline Internet-based services and applications to market. Our professional services focus on those areas where our products interface with our customers’ internal systems such as billing, provisioning and customer care. We have a team of professionals who work with leading mobile operators and mobile phone manufacturers around the world at all stages of development and implementation of wireless services

Our strategy is to simplify the deployment and innovation of data services by delivering a client/server architecture which focuses on dramatically improving the user experience. We achieve this in three core areas: integrating the experience across multiple services, phones and technologies; enhancing the experience with new features and capabilities; and protecting the experience from spam and viruses. Our approach is aligned with operators’ needs, giving operators the control, customization, influence, and ability to customize their service offerings they want on both the mobile phone and on their networks.

 

Our products allow communication service providers to offer new revenue-generating data services such as photo and video messaging; application downloads including games and music, and location-based services such as identifying a mobile phone user’s location in emergency situations. In addition, mobile phone manufacturers can use our products such as our browser and application products for exchanging multimedia messaging, to build highly differentiated mobile phones and services for the widest range of mobile phones.

 

We believe our strategy will help our customers drive incremental subscriber revenues and increase subscriber loyalty while transitioning to a world of personalized data services, multiple applications and open standards-based networks.

 

We believe that we are well positioned to benefit from the growth in both the mobile and wireline markets due to our relationships with more than 70 mobile operators, including 16 of the top 20 global mobile operators; 51 mobile phone manufacturers, including four of the top five global manufacturers; and 29 broadband operators, including nine of the top 15 broadband operators in North America. As data offerings become a more important role in driving overall growth coupled with the number of higher quality and feature-rich mobile phones rising, we believe there are growth opportunities for our software and services in the following areas:

 

    Subscribers’ requirements for a better user experience. Our software helps operators enhance their subscribers’ user experience and along with our professional services offerings, we help operators design their architecture and services with the subscriber in mind leading to a personalized user experience that helps operators attract and keep subscribers and drive usage of their services.

 

    Demand for software in the data phone category. Browser-enabled data phones are expected to comprise approximately 90% of all phones shipped in 2004 (Source: Ovum, 2004). Of these, one third will be advanced “feature” phones, combining data and messaging applications with advanced features like embedded cameras.

 

    Reduction in infrastructure complexity. As the scale of transactions continues to grow, operators are demanding more than just software from providers: we believe the market is migrating from software within managed systems towards low-maintenance packaged systems, such as those we provide.

 

    Data center integration of voice, text and photo/video messaging applications. It is too expensive to maintain three or four unique architectures that don’t interoperate and drive revenue among each other. As a result, request for proposals by service providers for IP-based mobile messaging have grown significantly in the last six months. As these systems become open, the need for anti-abuse technology like spam and virus protection will also become more prevalent.

 

We believe that the increased dependence on email services, the need for spam and virus detection, remote access to corporate intranets, and the rise of services such as ring tones, games and messaging on mobile phones, will provide us the opportunity to further benefit from demand for our software and services.

 

Our agreements with our communication service provider customers grant them nonexclusive licenses to use our software in connection with providing mobile data services to their subscribers. Pricing and payment terms for

Civ. No. 01-9744 (SAS) (S.D.N.Y.), related to In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 21 MC 92 (SAS) (S.D.N.Y.). It is brought purportedly on behalf of all persons who purchased the Company’s common stock from June 11, 1999 through December 6, 2000. The defendants are the Company and five of its present or former officers (the “Openwave Defendants”), and several investment banking firms that served as underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering and secondary public offering. Three of the individual defendants were dismissed without prejudice, subject to a tolling of the statute of limitations. The complaint alleges liability under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, on the grounds that the registration statements for the offerings did not disclose that: (1) the underwriters had agreed to allow certain customers to purchase shares in the offerings in exchange for excess commissions paid to the underwriters; and (2) the underwriters had arranged for certain customers to purchase additional shares in the aftermarket at predetermined prices. The amended complaint also alleges that false analyst reports were issued. No specific damages are claimed. Similar allegations were made in over 300 other lawsuits challenging public offerings conducted in 1999 and 2000, and the cases were consolidated for pretrial purposes.

 

The Company has accepted a settlement proposal presented to all issuer defendants. Plaintiffs will dismiss and release all claims against the Openwave Defendants, in exchange for a contingent payment by the insurance companies responsible for insuring the issuers, and for the assignment or surrender of control of certain claims the Company may have against the underwriters. The Openwave Defendants will not be required to make any cash payment in the settlement, unless the pro rata amount paid by the insurers in the settlement exceeds the amount of insurance coverage, a circumstance which the Company does not believe will occur. The settlement will require approval of the Court, which cannot be assured, after class members are given the opportunity to object to or opt out of the settlement. We believe a loss is not probable or estimable. Therefore no amount has been accrued as of June 30, 2004.

 

Commercial Dispute.

 

One of the Company’s resellers, Intrado Inc., commenced arbitration proceedings against the Company on August 11, 2003 alleging breach of contract in connection with the performance of certain software and services. The demand for arbitration did not include a specific demand for damages. The Company had asserted arbitration counterclaims alleging that Intrado used the Company’s technology to develop a competing service. In August 2004, the Company entered into a confidential settlement agreement with Intrado, which had no material impact on the results of the Company’s reported result of operations. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had accrued for the settlement of the litigation in the accrued liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Price Range of Common Stock

 

Our common stock has been listed for quotations on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol OPWV. On October 21, 2003, the Company completed a one-for-three reverse split of its common stock. All share and per share data in the financial statements presented herein have been adjusted to reflect this change. The following table sets forth the fiscal periods indicating the high and low closing sales prices for our common stock.

As of August 13, 2004, there were 805 holders of record of our common stock. We have not paid any dividends and currently intend to retain future earnings for reinvestment in our business or the repurchase of outstanding shares of our common stock. Therefore, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

On August 2, 2004, we issued 2,271,446 shares of Openwave common stock, $54.2 million in cash and a $3.8 million loan note in connection with our acquisition of Magic4. We believe that the transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 3(a)(10) because the California Department of Corporations held a fairness hearing and granted a permit pursuant to Section 25121 of the California Corporations Code to issue the securities.

 

On October 4, 2002, we issued approximately 53,667 unregistered shares in the purchase of infrastructure software technology from Personity, Inc. We believe that the transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, under Section 4(2) or another applicable exemption.

 

Item 6.    Selected Financial Data

 

The following selected financial data should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. The selected Consolidated Statements of Operations data for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000 and the selected Consolidated Balance Sheet data as of June 30, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000 are derived from our consolidated financial statements which have been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm.

You should also consider that on November 17, 2000, we merged with Software.com, Inc. in a transaction that was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. As of the merger date, Software.com changed its fiscal year end to June 30 to conform to our fiscal year-end. Software.com’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2000 were combined with our consolidated financial statements for the same period. Software.com’s unaudited results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 1999 included revenues of $29.0 million, expenses of $37.2 million and net loss of $8.2 million. An adjustment has been made in stockholders’ equity as of June 30, 2000 to eliminate the effect of including Software.com’s unaudited results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 1999 in both the years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

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

 

The following presents Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and should be read in conjunction with Item 1 Business which provides Management’s view of our products, services, and business strategy, Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data which contains our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and the Risk Factor section contained later in this Item 7.

 

Our total revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 increased by $22.8 million or 8.5% from $268.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 302, 2003 to $290.8 million. The increase in revenues reflected increases in sales of our client software product and services, our infrastructure software and services, and our services, which were partially offset by decreases in our application software and services and our project/systems revenues. The increase in sales of our client software and services were primarily generated by the continued growth of our customers’ shipments of mobile phones. The increase in the sales of our infrastructure software and services was primarily the result mobile phone users increased adoption and usage of mobile data through our wireless carrier customers. Revenue from our application software and services decreased due to price compression resulting from increased price competition in the market. The increase in services revenues primarily attributed to an increase in the number of custom and extended solutions projects we have engaged in as well as an increase in services provided in relation to our product upgrades on our existing technology and other value-added services to our customers.

 

Out total operating expenses decreased by $153.0 million or 39.9% from $383.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 to $230.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. The decrease in our operating expenses was primarily due to the realization of our cost savings from our three restructurings that occurred in the fiscal years 2003 and 2002 related to our reduced headcount and reduced facility costs and our continued efforts to reduce operation costs.

 

Corporate Governance and Internal Controls

 

We have historically considered our policies and procedures relating to our corporate governance and internal controls over financial reporting a high priority and will continue to do so. We believe that our accounting policies are prudent and provide a clear and accurate view of our financial performance. As of June 30, 2004, we have made significant progress in our efforts to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, including Section 404 thereof, and anticipate that we will meet all requirements within the applicable time frames as specified by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

 

We have formed a Disclosure Committee, comprised primarily of senior financial and legal personnel, which helps to ensure that our internal controls over financial reporting, and financial results and disclosures, are complete and accurate. Prior to the release of our financial results, representatives of our senior management team review our operating results, key accounting policies and estimates with our Audit Committee, which is comprised solely of independent members of our Board of Directors.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments

 

We believe that there are several accounting policies that are critical to understanding our business and prospects for our future performance, as these policies affect the reported amounts of revenue and other significant areas that involve Management’s judgment and estimates. These significant accounting policies are:

 

    Revenue recognition

 

15


    Allowance for doubtful accounts

 

    Impairment assessment of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets

 

    Restructuring-related assessments

 

These policies, and our procedures related to these policies, are described in detail below. In addition, please refer to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our accounting policies.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP No. 98-9, “Modification of 97-2 Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions,” and generally recognize revenue when all of the following criteria are met as set forth in paragraph 8 of SOP No. 97-2: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred, (3) the fee is fixed or determinable and (4) collectibility is probable.

 

One of the critical judgments that we make is the assessment that “collectibility is probable.” Our recognition of revenue is based on our assessment of the probability of collecting the related accounts receivable balance on a customer-by-customer basis. As a result, the timing or amount of revenue recognition may have been different if different assessments of the probability of collection had been made at the time the transactions were recorded in revenue. In cases where collectibility is not deemed probable, revenue is recognized at the time collection becomes probable, which is generally upon receipt of cash.

 

Another critical judgment that we make involves the “fixed or determinable” criterion. We consider payment terms where arrangement fees are due within 12 months from delivery to be normal. Payment terms beyond 12 months from delivery are considered extended and not fixed or determinable. For arrangements with extended payment terms, arrangement fee revenues are recognized when fees become due, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. In arrangements where fees are due within one year or less from delivery, we consider the entire arrangement fee as “fixed or determinable.”

 

For contracts accounted for under SOP No. 81-1, we believe we are able to reasonably estimate, track, and project the status of completion of a project, and therefore use the percentage of completion method as our primary method for recognizing revenue. We also consider customer acceptance our criteria for substantial completion. Use of estimates requires management to make judgments to estimate the progress to completion, (see Risk Factors).

 

Certain arrangements permit the customer to pay us maintenance and support fees based only on the number of active subscribers using our software product, rather than the number of subscribers to which the customer has committed to purchase under the license agreement. Such arrangements cause an implied maintenance and support obligation for us relating to unactivated subscribers. In these cases, we defer revenue equal to the Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) of maintenance and support of the total commitment for the estimated life of the software. This additional deferral of maintenance and support revenue results in a smaller amount of residual license revenues to be recognized upon delivery.

 

In certain arrangements we recognize revenue based on information contained in license usage reports provided by our customers. If such reports are not received in a timely manner, we estimate the revenue based on historical reporting trends, if possible.

During the year ended June 30, 2002, we entered into a significant contract with a service partner, under which we ported our software to the service partner’s hardware/software platform in exchange for a predetermined reimbursement rate; the partner resold our products and engaged in other joint activities. We recognized porting services revenues from this contract as project/systems revenues in our Consolidated Statement of Operations as the services were performed. With our adoption of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”, during the quarter ended December 31, 2002, we separated the reseller and porting activities related to the project and recognized reseller revenues separately as they were earned. Cumulative revenues recognized may have been less or greater than cumulative billings at any point in time during the contract’s term. The resulting difference was recognized as either unbilled accounts receivable or deferred revenue. In accounting for project/systems revenue, we recognized revenue as the services were proportionally performed. As of June 30, 2004, the project was completed and all related project revenues were recognized.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2004, we entered into a significant contract with a communication services provider to provide a “managed service” software and system solution. Under the terms of the arrangement, we agreed to provide the following products and services in exchange for project milestone payments and ongoing service payments: software; third party software and hardware; maintenance and support and new version coverage; third party maintenance and support and new version coverage; implementation services, including significant customization and modification of the software and third party software; and, managed services for ongoing operational support of the software system/solution. We determined we have a single accounting unit as defined in EITF Issue No. 00-21. We will recognize revenue using the proportional performance method initially assuming a zero profit margin, as we believe we can not reasonably estimate project completion status at June 30, 2004, but we believe profitability is reasonably assured. We use labor hours incurred as a percentage of total estimated labor hours in determining the proportional performance on the project. Furthermore, applying the guidance in EITF Issue No. 00-21, which limits revenue recognition to earned and realizable billings or amounts that are not contingent upon the delivery of additional items or meeting other specified performance conditions, revenue recognition on the arrangement is limited to non-contingent revenue. During the year-ended June 30, 2004, we recognized $5.0 million in systems revenues on this arrangement and which was classified as project/systems revenues in the our Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of June 30, 2004, direct and incremental costs of $5.7 million on the arrangement incurred in excess of non-contingent revenue were deferred and were classified within prepaid and other current assets, as we have enforceable contractual rights to recover such costs, anticipate recognition of a profit margin on this project as future revenues are recognized, and view such costs as an investment in the remainder of the contract.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the anticipated non-payment of contractual obligations to us.

 

The total allowance for doubtful accounts is comprised of a specific reserve and a general reserve. We regularly review the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts after considering the size of the accounts receivable aging, the age of each invoice, each customer’s expected ability to pay and our collection history with each customer. We review all customer receivables to determine if a specific reserve is needed, based on our knowledge of the customer’s ability to pay. If the financial condition of a customer were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, a specific allowance would be made. When a customer is specifically identified as uncollectible, the total customer receivable is reduced by the customer’s deferred revenue balance resulting in the net specific identified reserve, and we discontinue recognition of revenue from that arrangement until cash is received. In addition, we

 

17


maintain a general reserve for all other receivables not included in the specific reserve by applying specific percentages of projected uncollectible receivables to the various aging categories. In determining these percentages, we analyze our historical collection experience and current economic trends.

 

If the historical data we use to calculate the allowance provided for doubtful accounts does not reflect the future ability to collect outstanding receivables, additional provisions for doubtful accounts may be needed and the future results of operations could be materially affected. However, historically the reserve has proven to be adequate.

 

Impairment Assessments

 

(a)  Goodwill and intangible assets

 

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, we review the carrying amount of goodwill for impairment on an annual basis. Additionally, we perform an impairment assessment of goodwill and other intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets may not be recoverable. Significant changes in circumstances can be both internal to our strategic and financial direction, as well as changes to the competitive and economic landscape. Past changes in circumstances that were considered important for asset impairment include, but are not limited to, decrease in our market capitalization, contraction of the telecommunications industry, reduction or elimination of geographic economic growth, reductions in our forecasted growth and significant changes to operating costs.

 

We record goodwill when consideration paid in a purchase acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net tangible assets and the identified intangible assets acquired. On July 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill and the identified intangible assets were amortized on a straight-line basis over three to five years. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. We have no intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Goodwill is tested for impairment in the Company’s fiscal third quarter. SFAS No. 142 also requires that we amortize other intangible assets over their respective finite lives up to their estimated residual values.

 

With the adoption of SFAS No. 142 on July 1, 2002, we determined that there was a single reporting unit for the purpose of goodwill impairment tests under SFAS No. 142. While goodwill is tested for impairment in our fiscal third quarter, interim impairment tests may be necessary if indicators suggest the carrying value of the goodwill may not be recoverable. For purposes of assessing the impairment of our goodwill, we estimate the value of the reporting unit using our market capitalization as the best evidence of fair value. This fair value is then compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit. We have impaired our goodwill and intangible assets during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, (see Note 6(f) to our consolidated financial statements).

 

(b)  Strategic investments

 

We perform an impairment assessment of our strategic equity investments on a quarterly basis. In performing the impairment assessment, we consider the following factors, among others, in connection with the businesses in which investments have been made: the implicit valuation of the business indicated by recently completed financing or similar transactions, the business’ current solvency, and its access to future capital. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 there were no impairments to our strategic investments. In the prior fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, we recorded impairment charges of $5.3 million relating to three investments and $5.6 million

 

18


relating to four investments, respectively. These impairment charges are recorded within impairment of non-marketable equity securities in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2004, the remaining book value of our investments in non-marketable equity securities was approximately $1.1 million and was recorded within deposits and other assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Restructuring—related assessments

 

Our critical accounting policy and judgment as it relates to restructuring-related assessments includes our estimate of facility costs and severance-related costs. To determine the facility costs, which consist of the loss after our cost recovery efforts from subleasing a building, certain estimates were made related to: (1) the time period over which the relevant building would remain vacant, (2) sublease terms and (3) sublease rates, including common area charges. The facility cost is an estimate representing the low end of the range and will be adjusted in the future upon triggering events (such as changes in estimates of time and rates to sublease, based upon current market conditions, or changes in actual sublease rates). We have estimated that the lease loss for the fiscal year 2003 and fiscal year 2002 restructuring plans could be as much as $25.4 million higher if facilities operating lease rental rates continue to decrease in the applicable markets or if it takes longer than expected to find a suitable tenant to lease the facility. To determine the severance and employment-related charges, we made certain estimates as they relate to severance benefits including the remaining time employees will be retained and the estimated severance period. The actual severance and employment-related charges incurred during fiscal year 2004 for all restructuring plans were higher than our initial estimates by $0.3 million.

 

Summary of Operating Results for Fiscal Years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002

 

Revenues

 

We generate four different types of revenues. License revenues are primarily associated with the licensing of our software products to communication service providers and wireless device manufacturers; maintenance and support revenues are derived from providing support services to communication service providers and wireless device manufacturers; professional services revenues are primarily a result of providing deployment and integration consulting services to communication service providers; and project/systems revenues are derived from a porting services project and systems revenues which are comprised of packaged solution elements which may include our software licenses, professional services, third-party software and hardware.

 

The majority of our revenues have been to a limited number of customers and our sales are concentrated in a single industry segment. Significant customers during the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 include Sprint and KDDI. Sales to Sprint accounted for 8%, 13% and 5% of total revenues during the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Sales to KDDI accounted for 5%, 11% and 20% of total revenues during years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. No other customers accounted for 10% or more of total revenues for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002.

License Revenues

 

License revenues remained relatively flat for fiscal year 2004 as compared to fiscal year 2003, but decreased by 40.1% during fiscal year 2003 as compared to fiscal year 2002. The overall decrease in fiscal year 2003 as compared to fiscal year 2002 was primarily attributed to the economic downturn that significantly affected the telecommunications market, which resulted in a reduced number and value of new contracts and a decrease in the subscriber adoption rate over the prior year. In addition, increased competition, particularly in Europe, caused a further decline in license revenues.

 

Maintenance and Support Services Revenues

 

The increase in maintenance and support services revenues of 7.2% and 3.0% in the fiscal year 2004 and 2003, respectively, compared to the respective prior fiscal years due to the growth of our customers’ subscriber base and our ability to maintain contractual renewal rates of existing customer agreements.

 

Professional Services Revenues

 

Professional services increased 73.8% for fiscal year 2004 as compared to fiscal year 2003, but decreased 39.2% for fiscal year 2003 as compared to fiscal year 2002. The increase in 2004 as compared to the prior fiscal year was primarily attributed to an increase in the number of custom and extended solutions projects as well as an increase in services provided in relation to our product upgrades on our existing technology and other value-added services to our customers. The decrease in 2003 as compared to the prior fiscal year was primarily due to the decrease in the number of commercial launches of our technology by our customers.

 

Project/Systems Revenues

 

Project/Systems revenues generated in fiscal year 2002 comprised revenue recognized under our porting systems arrangement with a service partner under which we recognized revenues up until the third quarter of fiscal year 2004 when the porting project was substantially complete. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004 we derived $5.0 million from systems revenues which are comprised of packaged solution elements which may include our software licenses,

our professional services, and third-party software and hardware. We expect to recognize revenue from system revenues in fiscal years 2005 and 2006 as performance milestones are met.

 

Other Key Financial Revenue Metric

Client software and services revenue continued to increase in fiscal year 2004 as compared to fiscal year 2003 as our customers’ shipments of mobile phones continues to grow. Infrastructure software and services increased in fiscal year 2004 as compared to fiscal year 2003 as mobile phone users increased their adoption and usage of mobile data through our wireless carrier customers. Application software and services decreased in fiscal year 2004 as compared to fiscal year 2003 primarily due to price compression resulting from increased competition. The increase in services revenues in 2004 as compared to the fiscal year 2003 was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of custom and extended solutions projects we had engaged in as well as an increase in services provided in relation to our product upgrades on our existing technology and other value-added services to our customers.

Cost of License Revenues

 

Cost of license revenues consists primarily of the following: third-party license and related support fees; amortization of customer contract and relationship intangible assets related to our prior acquisitions; and costs associated with our Applications Service Provider (“ASP”) business that we determined during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 would be exited, and a majority of the costs were completed by the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2002.

 

Costs of license revenues during fiscal year 2004 as compared to fiscal year 2003 remained relatively flat and was comprised of an increase in royalty costs of $1.4 million associated with anti-virus and anti-spam products, offset by a decrease in amortization of customer contract and relationship intangibles in the amount of $0.9 million and other charges of $0.6 million.

 

Cost of license revenues decreased by $46.8 million in fiscal year 2003 as compared to fiscal year 2002 due to a decrease in the amortization of customer contract and relationship intangible assets in the amount of $10.0 million, the impairment of developed and core technology of $31.4 million in fiscal year 2002, a decrease in charges of $4.8 million associated with the exiting of the ASP business in fiscal year 2002, and a decrease in other costs of $0.6 million.

 

Cost of Maintenance and Support Services Revenues

 

Cost of maintenance and support services revenues consists of compensation and related overhead costs for personnel engaged in training and support services to wireless device manufacturers and communication service providers.

 

The decrease in maintenance and support services costs for the comparative periods resulted from a decrease in labor, overhead, and other employee costs due to a decrease in our average headcount of 22 employees and 31 employees for the comparative periods in fiscal years 2003 and 2002, respectively, as a result of our realignment and restructuring efforts. This, along with an increase in revenues due to increased subscriber growth during the comparative periods is responsible for increased margins in this category.

 

Cost of Professional Services Revenues

 

Cost of professional services revenues consists of compensation and independent consultant costs for personnel engaged in performing professional services and related overhead.

 

Professional services costs increased by $15.3 million in fiscal year 2004 as compared to the prior fiscal year. During the FY2003 Q1 restructuring, which took place late in the first quarter of fiscal year 2003, we reorganized the professional services departments and sales and marketing departments and focused the activities of the professional services staff more specifically towards consulting activities and away from selling activities. Therefore, during fiscal year 2003, a larger portion of the costs were allocated to sales and marketing operations as compared to fiscal year 2004, increasing the variance between the respective periods by approximately $2.5 million. Additionally, increased demand for our products resulted in an increase of $7.8 million in subcontractor costs, an increase of $2.5 million in total travel costs, an increased utilization of our research and development group resulting in $4.3 million in cross-charges, and an increase in utilization bonus expense of $2.0 million. These increases were off-set by a decrease in salary and other costs of $0.9 million and a departmental cross-charge of $2.9 million to Project/Systems costs of sales.

 

Professional services expenses decreased by $3.3 million in fiscal year 2003 as compared to fiscal year 2002 primarily due to a decrease in our average headcount of 52 employees during fiscal year 2003 as compared to fiscal year 2002 and an increase in deferred charges related to professional services of $1.4 million in fiscal year 2003 as compared to

 

22


fiscal year 2002. The deferred charges were capitalized within prepaid and other current assets as of June 30, 2003 in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. These reductions in the professional services expenses were partially offset by higher consulting costs that were allocated into professional services expenses in fiscal year 2003 due to the reorganization previously discussed.

 

Professional services gross margin increased from 12.9% in fiscal year 2003 to 17.4% during fiscal year 2004. The increase in the margin was primarily due to improved operational performance in our services organization. We expect the professional services gross margin to continue to fluctuate as revenue is recognized based on completion of milestones.

 

Professional services gross margin decreased from 39.6% in fiscal year 2002 to 12.9% during fiscal year 2003. This decrease in margin was primarily due to lower revenues associated with the slowdown in the telecommunications market, the timing of revenue and expense recognition on certain multiple-element arrangements, as well as the realignment of the sales force during the first quarter fiscal year 2003 restructuring.

 

Cost of Project/Systems Revenues

 

The fiscal year 2004 margin increased to 29.2% from 10.2% in fiscal year 2003. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the margin related to the porting service project, on the which the margin was 43.4% in fiscal year 2004 as compared to 10.2% in the prior fiscal. The increase in the margin on the porting services project was the result of our recognition of revenue, which had previously been deferred, upon completion of certain project milestones. This increase was offset by the recognition of systems revenue during our fiscal fourth quarter of approximately $5.0 million which was recognized with no margin, (see Critical Accounting Policy). The costs incurred related to the systems revenue comprised $2.9 million of professional services and $2.1 million of third-party hardware costs. Once we are able to estimate the cost of completion for this systems arrangement, we expect to recognize a margin on this systems arrangement.

 

Operating Expenses

 

We reduced costs and expenses to better align our resources with revenue opportunities anticipated in the current information technology market. During fiscal year 2003, we announced two separate restructurings and in fiscal year 2002, we announced one restructuring. The restructurings reduced our workforce at the time of the restructurings by approximately 12%, 24% and 17%, respectively. The cost benefits associated with the restructurings were primarily realized during the latter part of fiscal year 2003 and fiscal year 2002, respectively. Average overall headcount decreased by 355 people in fiscal year 2004 as compared to fiscal year 2003 and decreased by 392 people during fiscal year 2003 as compared to fiscal year 2002. In addition to the restructurings, we also reduced variable costs across the company as a result of discretionary spending controls.

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development expenses consist principally of salary and benefit expenses for software developers, contracted development efforts, related facilities costs, and expenses associated with computer equipment used in software development. We believe that investments in research and development, including recruiting and hiring of software developers, are critical to remain competitive in the market place and are directly related to continued timely development of new and enhanced products. While we continue to focus our attention on research and development, we undertook initiatives during our restructuring efforts to redistribute some of our research and development work offshore as well as increase our use of outside consultants.

 

As a result of our continued restructuring efforts and resource realignments, our average research and development headcount decreased by 160 employees during the fiscal year 2004, resulting in a decrease in salary and other salary-related costs of $16.4 million for the year as compared to the prior fiscal period. Bonus expense also decreased by $1.9 million due to reduced headcount and fewer retention bonuses. Lower headcount also resulted in lower employee development and staffing costs by $0.4 million. As a result of our restructuring and other costs savings initiatives, we renegotiated several of our agreements with outside vendors and effectively reduced our telecommunications and connectivity costs by $0.9 million. Asset depreciation and amortization costs decreased by $2.2 million for the current period as compared to the prior fiscal year and continues to decrease as existing assets become fully depreciated. Allocation costs also decreased by $10.0 million during the current year period, as compared to the respective prior fiscal period due to a $5.7 million decrease in costs allocated in as a result of lower headcount and overhead from restructuring efforts as well as lower depreciation and information technology (“IT”) costs, and an increase in allocated costs out primarily to the Professional Services organization of $4.3 million for services provided on extended and custom solutions projects. The overall decrease was partially offset by a $2.5 million increase in contingent workers expense due primarily to the use of contractors as a short term solution to meet customer commitments and an overall

 

24


decrease in the allocation of certain employee expenses out to other departments of $7.4 million in the current fiscal year compared to the respective prior year period and are comprised primarily of those costs associated with project revenues.

 

As a result of our restructuring efforts, average research and development headcount decreased by 111 employees during the year ended June 30, 2003 compared to the prior fiscal period. The decrease in headcount resulted in a $6.6 million decrease in salaries and other salary-related costs for the comparative period. In addition, the transition of certain employees to departments associated with project revenues decreased total research and development expenses by $10.0 million. We also incurred lower overall facility and IT department charges of $6.8 million due to the restructurings and other cost saving measures, as well as lower other overall costs of $3.6 million. The overall decrease was offset primarily by a $0.5 million increase in contingent workers expense due primarily to our decision to outsource certain projects to companies located in other countries such as India; and an overall increase in bonus expense of $6.5 million.

 

Sales and Marketing Expenses

 

Sales and marketing expenses include salary and benefit expenses, sales commissions, travel expenses, and related facility costs for our sales and marketing personnel. Sales and marketing expenses also include the costs of trade shows, public relations, promotional materials, redeployed professional service employees and other market development programs.

 

Our average sales and marketing headcount decreased by 123 employees during the year ended June 30, 2004, resulting in a decrease in salary and other salary-related costs of $13.1 million for the year as compared to the prior fiscal period. This decrease was offset in part by an increase in our reliance on contingent workers by $0.9 million as well as an increase in outside services and other costs of $1.6 million. In addition, commission expense was higher by $6.5 million due to increased sales. Lower overall headcount and other cost savings initiatives resulted in lower travel costs of $2.6 million, lower telecommunication and connectivity costs of $1.6 million, lower marketing costs of $0.4 million and lower asset depreciation expense of $1.1 million. Finally, bonus expenses also decreased by $1.0 million overall. As part of our reorganization, our professional services staff focused more on consulting activities rather than general selling activities resulting in lower overall professional services expenses being allocated to sales and marketing activities in fiscal year 2004 as compared to fiscal year 2003. This reorganization resulted in a decrease in allocated consulting costs of $2.5 million during the current fiscal year compared to the prior year. Finally, our overall allocations decreased by $4.1 million primarily as a result of lower overall headcount and other costs savings initiatives.

 

As a result of our restructuring efforts, average sales and marketing headcount decreased by 174 employees during the fiscal year 2003 compared to fiscal year 2002 resulting in a $17.3 million decrease in salaries and other salary-related costs for the year as compared to the prior fiscal period. The transition of certain employees to departments associated with project revenues decreased total expenses by $0.4 million. We also incurred lower overall facility and IT department charges of $14.3 million as a result of the restructuring, as well as lower other overall costs reductions of $10.6 million as a result of our cost cutting efforts. Employee staffing development charges decreased primarily due a decrease in recruiting fees of $2.4 million. We also decreased our dependence on contractors leading to a decrease of $1.3 million in contingent worker expense. Finally, commission expense decreased $1.6 million as a result of lower overall revenue. The overall decrease was offset primarily by an increase in bonus expense of $2.1 million.

 

25


General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist principally of salary and benefit expenses, travel expenses, and related facility costs for our finance, human resources, legal, information services and executive personnel. General and administrative expenses also include outside legal and accounting fees, provision for doubtful accounts, and expenses associated with computer equipment and software used in administration of the business.

 

General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $13.6 million in fiscal year 2004 as compared to fiscal year 2003. The decrease in expenses was due in part to a reduction in our average headcount of 37 employees as a result of the continuation of our restructuring and costs cutting efforts which lead to a savings in salaries and other related costs of approximately $3.8 million during fiscal year 2004 as compared to the prior fiscal year. The lower overall headcount also decreased the need to purchase new and replacement equipment and combined with many of the existing assets becoming fully depreciated during fiscal 2004 resulted in lower overall depreciation expense of $6.5 million. In addition, bonus expenses decreased by approximately $4.5 million due to certain incentive targets not being reached in the current fiscal year which were reached in the prior fiscal year and the absence of certain executive retention bonuses paid in the prior fiscal year. Operational efficiencies lead to lower legal and other costs of $3.0 million. Bad debt expense also decreased by approximately $4.4 million due to improved cash collections, reducing the aging of our accounts receivables, and the collection of several accounts that had previously been written off, which included the receipt of approximately $1.1 million from the resolution of certain bankruptcy proceedings. These decreases were primarily offset by an $8.6 million decrease in allocated costs out to other departments related to lower facility and IT costs incurred as the company continued its cost savings measures.

 

During fiscal year 2003 our average general and administrative headcount decreased by 31 employees compared to the prior fiscal year, as a result of our restructuring efforts. The decreased headcount translated to a $0.9 million decrease in salaries and other salary-related costs as compared to the prior fiscal period. Other costs savings efforts resulted in a decrease in recruiting fees of $2.9 million, a decrease of $1.9 million in cost for outside contractors, and a decrease of $2.8 million in other overall costs. The provision for doubtful accounts decreased $7.6 million as a result of the net accounts receivable balance decrease of approximately $34.4 million and improved cash collections. This decrease was offset by an increase in bonus expense of $6.6 million.

 

Restructuring and Other Costs

 

As a result of our change in strategy and our desire to improve our cost structure, we initiated three separate restructurings during the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, (see Restructuring-related assessments under Critical Accounting Policies.) These restructurings included the fiscal year 2003 fourth quarter restructuring (“FY2003 Q4 Restructuring”), the fiscal year 2003 first quarter restructuring (“FY2003 Q1 Restructuring”), and the fiscal year 2002 restructuring (“FY2002 Restructuring”).

 

The FY2003 Q4 Restructuring was announced during the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and included further reductions in operating expenses in order to better align our overall costs structure with current revenues. These reductions included a decrease in the Company’s workforce of approximately 200 employees. The majority of these reductions were completed by December 31, 2003. In connection with the implementation of the restructuring plan, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, the Company incurred an additional $0.5 million in facilities, $0.9 million in severance and $0.8 million in fixed asset impairment charges to bring the total restructuring cost to approximately $10.8 million. The restructuring charges included facility costs of $1.3 million, equipment costs of $2.9 million, severance and employment related charges of $6.5 million and other restructuring related costs of

 

26


$0.1 million. This restructuring effort lead to approximately $10 million of realized cost savings during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. Of the $0.8 million remaining restructuring accrual at June 30, 2004, we expect to pay $0.5 million through June 30, 2005 and $0.3 million during the three years ending June 30, 2008.

 

The FY2003 Q1 Restructuring was announced during the quarter ended September 30, 2002 and included the consolidation of products within three core product groups: client software and services, application software and services, and infrastructure software and services. This restructuring plan resulted in a decrease in the Company’s workforce by approximately 480 employees. In connection with the implementation of this restructuring plan in fiscal year 2004, the Company incurred additional facility charges of $0.6 million, offset by a decrease of $0.6 million in severance as a result of changes in certain estimates. Restructuring cost totaled approximately $82.2 million, including facility costs of $52.1 million, fixed asset impairments of $12.2 million, severance and employment related charges of $17.6 million and other restructuring related costs of $0.3 million. This restructuring effort lead to approximately $25 to $30 million in total cost savings of which approximately 26% was realized in cost of revenues, 40% in research and development activities, 23% in sales and marketing activities and 11% in general and administrative activities. Of the remaining $42.6 million accrual at June 30, 2004, we expect to pay $6.6 million through June 30, 2005 and $36.0 million from July 2005 through April 2013.

 

The FY 2002 Restructuring was announced during the quarter ended December 30, 2001 as a result of our desire to improve our cost structure and profitability. This restructuring plan resulted in a decrease in the Company’s workforce by approximately 400 employees. In connection with the implementation of the restructuring plan, during fiscal year 2004, the Company incurred an additional $0.8 million in charges primarily as a result of changes in the estimates of sublease income to bring the total restructuring costs to $38.8 million. Other related costs totaled $1.9 million which were primarily associated with the accelerated depreciation charges related to the planned closing of certain facilities under the restructuring plan. The restructuring costs included facility costs of $20.3 million, fixed asset impairments of $5.4 million, severance and employment-related charges of $10.3 million and other restructuring-related charges of $2.8 million. The restructuring effort led to $25 to $30 million in total savings, of which approximately 10% was realized in cost of revenues, 35% was realized in the research and development departments, 30% in the sales and marketing departments and 25% in the general and administrative departments. Of the remaining $5.9 million accrual as of June 30, 2004, we expect to pay $3.5 million through June 30, 2005 and $2.4 million through various dates to November 2012.

Stock-based compensation expense decreased $0.5 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the prior fiscal year. We issued restricted stock grants that resulted in deferred stock-based compensation that totaled approximately $3.0 million and $1.8 million during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In addition, during fiscal year 2003, we reversed $1.7 million of stock-based compensation expense due to the termination of research and development employees prior to the vesting of their respective options. Stock-based compensation expense decreased by $2.2 million, excluding the reversal, as a result of fiscal year 2003 stock-based compensation expense including the recognition of a significant portion of the deferred stock-based compensation from past acquisitions in accordance with the accelerated amortization policy as prescribed in FIN No. 28.

 

Stock-based compensation expense decreased $9.4 million during fiscal year 2003, excluding the reversal, as compared to the respective prior fiscal year, primarily due to a higher proportion of amortization of deferred stock-based compensation attributable to prior acquisitions being charged to stock-based compensation expense in fiscal year 2002 in accordance with the accelerated amortization policy as prescribed in FIN No. 28.

(a) Amortization of acquisition-related contract intangible assets and developed and core technology is included in cost of license revenue in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We amortize the contract intangible assets on a pro-rata basis over the period that the related contractual revenue is recognized. The developed and core technology

 

28


assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over three to five years. Prior to our adoption of SFAS No. 142 on July 1, 2002, we amortized goodwill and other intangible assets on a straight-line basis over a three- to five-year period.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2002, we performed two separate impairment analyses and recorded a total impairment charge to the remaining goodwill on the acquisitions acquired prior to June 30, 2002 of $618.3 million. During the year ended June 30, 2003, we performed an additional impairment analysis on the goodwill acquired in the acquisition of SignalSoft and recorded $8.0 million in impairment charges. The impairment charges for both years were reported in “Amortization and impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2004, we have $723,000 in goodwill, and in accordance with SFAS No. 142, the goodwill will not be amortized, but will be tested for impairment in the future which may result in future impairment losses.

 

The decrease in total amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets for years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, as compared to their respective prior fiscal years, was primarily due to the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets during fiscal year 2002.

 

(b) In-process research and development represents the fair value of the acquired in-process research and development projects that had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no alternative use. Accordingly, this amount was expensed when we acquired SignalSoft, and was reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended June 30, 2003.

 

(c) $31.4 million for the impairment of developed and core technology related to acquisitions completed prior to June 30, 2002, was recorded in cost of license. In addition to the discussion above regarding the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, see “Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments—Impairment Assessments” for further discussion.

 

(d) During the year ended June, 30, 2003, we adopted SFAS No. 142 and recognized a transitional impairment of $14.5 million, which was reported as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2003, we completed an acquisition of a business, SignalSoft, for $63.9 million. At September 30, 2002, we had $7.3 million of goodwill recorded on the acquisition. The goodwill was adjusted by an additional $758,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2002 to reflect finalization of the purchase price allocation. The significant decrease in our market capitalization through September 30, 2002, as well as our announcement during the quarter of a restructuring, triggered the requirement for an impairment analysis of our goodwill and long-lived assets under SFAS No. 142 and 144. Upon completion of the recoverability test, we determined that none of our long-lived assets have been impaired under SFAS No. 144. We concluded that we are a single reporting unit under SFAS No. 142, and the fair value of the reporting unit is approximated by market capitalization under SFAS No. 142. Considering the significant decrease in our market capitalization from the date of the SignalSoft acquisition, all remaining SignalSoft goodwill as of September 30, 2002 was fully impaired. As the adjustments to the SignalSoft goodwill during the three months ended December 31, 2002 related to finalization of the purchase price allocation, the goodwill related to these adjustments was fully impaired during the three months ended December 31, 2002. The impairment of the goodwill resulted in impairment charges of $8.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2003 and was classified as amortization and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the year ended June 30, 2002, prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, we performed two separate impairment analyses as a result of changes within the telecommunications industry that led to reductions in our forecasted revenue. The triggering events for the quarters ended December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2002 include the restructuring plan that was announced during the quarter ended December 31, 2001 and the significant decrease in our market capitalization during the quarter ended June 30, 2002. For the December 31, 2001 impairment analysis, assets were grouped at the product level, which was the lowest level for which there were identifiable cash flows. For the June 30, 2002 analysis, to the extent that cash flows were not identifiable at the product level, we assessed impairment at the enterprise level. If the sum of the expected future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition was less than the carrying amount of the assets, we recorded an impairment loss measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeded the fair value. The fair value was based upon the present value of the estimated expected future cash flows using a discount rate of 26.3% during the quarter ended December 31, 2001 and 22.6% during the quarter ended June 30, 2002. The assumptions supporting the estimated cash flows, including the discount rate and an estimated terminal value, reflect management’s best estimates. The discount rate was based upon the average of the long-term and short-term cost of capital using the risk-free rate, the expected return on the market portfolio and our risk-based rate. In addition, where all of the assets related to a specific acquisition had been abandoned, the goodwill and intangible asset balances relating to that acquisition were recorded as an impairment loss in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 17, “Intangible Assets.”

 

As a result of the impairment analyses, we recorded a $618.3 million impairment charge during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 within amortization and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The $17.4 million of goodwill and intangible assets remaining on our balance sheet at June 30, 2002 consisted of goodwill and intangible assets related to the Ellipsus acquisition. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142 as of July 1, 2002, $14.5 million of goodwill related to the Ellipsus acquisition was recorded as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Merger, Acquisition and Integration-Related Costs

 

As a result of the SignalSoft acquisition, we recorded merger, acquisition and integration-related costs of $0.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, relating to retention bonuses for employees and other costs incurred solely as a result of the integration. We incurred merger, acquisition and integration-related costs of $0.6 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 related to professional fees associated with the Software.com merger that was completed in fiscal year 2001.

 

Interest income

 

Interest income totaled $4.4 million, $5.9 million and $12.8 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Although our average cash and investments balance increased in fiscal year 2004 as compared to fiscal year 2003, our interest income did not increase correspondingly because the effective interest rate obtained decreased from 2.3% to 1.3% in fiscal years 2003 and 2004, respectively.

 

Interest expense

 

We incurred interest expense during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2003, and 2002 of $4.2 million, $29,000 and $0.5 million, respectively. Interest expense during the year-ended June 30, 2004 was due to the amortization of the debt issuance costs, as well as an interest accrual of 2.75% per annum on the convertible subordinated notes issue September 9, 2003.

 

30


Other income (expense), net

 

Included in other income (expense), net is foreign exchange gain (losses), which totaled $(0.2) million, $1.1 million, and $(0.9) million for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These fluctuations are the result of our exposure to movements in foreign currency rate changes. We use hedges to limit our exposure to these types of movements.

 

Impairment of non-marketable equity securities

 

During the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, we impaired non-marketable equity securities of $5.3 million and $5.6 million, respectively. The impairments recorded represented three and four strategic investment(s) during the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, (see Item 7 for further discussion).

 

Income taxes

 

Income tax expense totaled $9.3 million, $11.0 million and $17.9 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Income taxes in all periods consisted primarily of foreign withholding and foreign income taxes. Foreign withholding taxes fluctuate from year to year based on both the geographical mix of our revenue, as well as the timing of the revenue recognized.

 

In light of our recent history of operating losses, we recorded a valuation allowance for substantially all of our net deferred tax assets outside of two foreign jurisdictions, as we are presently unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities will be realized.

 

As of June 30, 2004, we had net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $1.1 billion and $404.7 million, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Operating Lease Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The balance of our restricted cash and investments at June 30, 2004 was $5.1 million larger than our restricted cash investment balance at June 30, 2003. The increase was primarily due to the restriction of $10.1 million in cash for five of the initial six semi-annual interest payments on our convertible subordinated debt, offset by a $5.0 million decrease in our worldwide collateral obligations as related to our principle commitments on operating leases.

 

During the year-ended June 30, 2004, we renegotiated the security obligation requirements on our operating lease agreements to remove the stipulation that cash equal to 125% of the letter of credit be restricted and replaced it with a stipulation that only cash equal to 100% of the letter of credit be restricted with the condition that the collateral needed to be invested in certificates of deposits. As of June 30,2004, our principal commitments consisted of obligations outstanding under operating leases, as well as our convertible debt obligations.

 

In March 2000, we entered into a lease for approximately 280,000 square feet of office space in Redwood City, California (“Redwood City Lease”). The Redwood City Lease terms commenced in April 2001, and required a base rent of $3.25 per square foot per month increasing by 3.5% annually on the anniversary of the initial month of the commencement of the lease. The lease is for a period of 12 years from the commencement date. The agreement required that we provide a letter of credit in the amount of $16.5 million. In addition we have $0.8 million in letters of credits primarily related to facilities located outside of the Redwood City headquarters. The restricted cash on the operating lease commitments are earning an annual interest rate of approximately 1.9% as of June 30, 2004, and the resulting income earned is not subject to any restrictions.

 

31


In addition, during the year ended June 30, 2004, we issued $150 million of 2 3/4 % convertible subordinated notes. As part of the debt issuance, we were required to place in escrow treasury strips at face value whose principal and related interest earned would be used to pay the first six semi-annual payments. The restricted cash and investments held in escrow under these agreements total $10.1 million and are earning an annual interest rate of approximately 1.6% as of June 30, 2004, and the resulting income earned is restricted.

 

Except for the operating lease obligations discussed above, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2004.

We obtained a majority of our cash and investments prior to fiscal year 2004 through prior public offerings. We intend to use cash provided by such financing activities for general corporate purposes, including potential future acquisitions or other transactions. In addition, we received approximately $145.0 million from the issuance of our

 

32


$150 million convertible subordinated notes during the year-ended June 30, 2004. While we believe that our current working capital and its anticipated cash flows from operations will be adequate to meet our cash needs for daily operations and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months, we may elect to raise additional capital through the sale of additional equity or debt securities, obtain a credit facility or sell certain assets. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of additional debt securities, these securities could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to holders of common stock, and terms of any debt could impose restrictions on our operations. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders, and additional financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us. If additional financing is necessary and we are unable to obtain the additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned product development and marketing efforts, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. In the mean time, we will continue to manage our cash portfolios in a manner designed to ensure that we have adequate cash and cash equivalents to fund our operations as well as future acquisitions, if any.

 

Working Capital

 

The increase in working capital of 98.5% for the year ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the prior fiscal period was primarily the result of the cash received from the convertible debt issuance during fiscal year ended 2004, offset by cash used in operations. The decrease in working capital of 34.9% for the year-ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the prior fiscal period was primarily do to cash used in operations.

 

Cash used for operating activities

 

During the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, we incurred charges related to our restructuring as a result of our desire to change our strategy and to improve our cost structure and profitability. The restructuring resulted in $19.4 million, $26.6 million and $16.0 million of cash used in operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Excluding restructuring, the cash used in operating activities totaled $28.4 million, $31.4 million, and $16.0 million for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2004, our revenue increased by $22.8 million, and our accounts receivable increased by $14.2 million compared to the prior fiscal year. Operating costs decreased since the prior year ended June 30, 2003 as a result of a decrease in average headcount of 355 employees. Furthermore, we received a settlement that resulted in a $3.6 million prepayment of sublease rental income during the year-ended June 30, 2004. However, these cash inflows were offset by a one-time charge of $1.3 million related to a foreign jurisdiction tax audit of one of our customers, net cash outflow of $5.7 million due to prepaid contract expenses related to a contract for which revenue will be recognized in the future within the Project/Systems line item on the Statement of Operations, and lower overall accounts receivable collections than the prior fiscal year period.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2003, our revenue decreased by $96.9 million, and our accounts receivable decreased by $33.9 million, which was used to fund our operations, as compared to the prior year. Operating costs decreased since the prior year ended June 30, 2002 as a result of a decrease in average headcount of 392 employees, but the cash flow from accounts receivable was less than the previous year leading to an increase in the cash flow used in operating activities, without the effect of restructuring, of $31.4 million.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2002, our revenue decreased by $104.2 million as compared to the prior fiscal year leading to a decrease in accounts receivable of $46.5 million that was used to fund our operations. Our operations included higher salary expense than the prior fiscal period as a result of an increase in average headcount of 81 employees as compared to the prior year. Despite FY 2002 restructuring, average headcount increased during fiscal

 

33


year 2002 as compared to the prior year since the benefits of reduced headcount associated with the restructuring did not occur until the later part of fiscal year 2002. We ended the June 30, 2002 year with a decrease in our cash used in operations, without the effect of restructuring, of $16.0 million.

 

Cash provided by (used for) investing activities

 

Cash flows provided by (used for) investing activities during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 totaled $(23.2) million, $53.5 million and $29.7 million, respectively.

 

The decrease in our cash flows from investing activities for fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 as compared to 2003 of $76.8 million primarily comprised purchases of short- and long-term investments and non-marketable equity securities, net of sales of short- and long-term investments of $91.4 million. We purchased additional long-term investments in order to obtain higher interest rate returns on our available cash. Cash used to purchase restricted cash and investments also increased by $5.7 million during the current fiscal year as compared to the prior fiscal year. This increase in restricted cash and investments was primarily related to our debt offering, which required that monies from the debt offering be pledged to secure the initial six semi-annual interest payments, (see Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements). Theses increases in the use of cash were offset by decrease in cash paid of $19.0 million in connection with the acquisition of SignalSoft in fiscal year 2003 and a decrease in the net purchases of property and equipment in fiscal year 2004 of $1.3 million as compared to fiscal year 2003.

 

The increase of $23.9 million in cash flows for fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 as compared to fiscal year 2002 was comprised primarily of $25.4 million in net proceeds on sales of short- and long-term investments which were made to fund operations, $12.4 million decrease in net purchases of property and equipment in fiscal year 2003 as compared to the prior fiscal period, and lower cash investments in non-marketable equity securities of $2.7 million, offset by $19.0 million in cash paid in connection with the acquisition of SignalSoft in fiscal year 2003 and $2.4 million net decrease in restricted cash and investments and proceeds from the sale of fixed assets.

 

Cash flows provided by (used for) financing activities

 

Cash flow provided by financing activities increased by $160.3 million in fiscal year 2004 as compared to the prior fiscal year primarily due to the issuance of convertible debt of $145.0 million during the fiscal year 2004 year and a net increase in proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options compared to the respective prior year period.

 

Cash flow provided by financing activities increased by $22.0 million in fiscal year 2003 as compared to the prior fiscal year 2002 period as a result of the repurchases of treasury stock of $38.1 million during fiscal year 2002, offset by net proceeds on put warrants (See stock repurchase program discussed below), and lower exercises of employee stock options during fiscal year 2003.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2002, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized a stock repurchase program of up to 1.67 million shares of common stock. Any purchases under our stock repurchase program were authorized to be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or through the use of derivative securities. In accordance with the program, we repurchased 233,333 shares at a weighted average of $25.20 on the open market, and we also sold 1.172 million put options that entitled the holder of each option to sell to us, for cash, by physical delivery or net share settlement at our election, one share of common stock at a specified price. The cumulative net proceeds to us from the sale of these put options were recorded as additional paid-in capital of $10.5 million under EITF Issue No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instrument; Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Common Stock.” Of the 1.17 million put options sold: 333,333 options were exercised, and we acquired the shares as treasury stock for $12.8 million; 333,334 of the put options were called by the holder of the

 

34


options as a result of our closing price falling below the contractual minimum, and we chose to settle the option by paying $6.6 million and recorded a decrease in additional paid-in capital in accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-19. Prior to the stock dropping below the minimum price, the remaining 500,000 put options were renegotiated to permit physical settlement of the put options upon an early termination event, and we bought 500,000 shares for $19.4 million and recorded the settlement of the put options as treasury stock. Thus, for the year ended June 30, 2002, we repurchased a total of 1.07 million shares under the stock repurchase program at a weighted-average price of $35.70, and we recorded net proceeds from put options of $3.9 million. Management’s authority to purchase any additional shares under our stock repurchase program that was announced in September 2001 has expired. The 1.1 million treasury shares were retired during the first quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Staff Position No. FAS 129-1, “Disclosure Requirements under FASB Statement No. 129, Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure, Relating to Contingently Convertible Securities.” The adoption of Staff Position No. FAS 129-1 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 03-01, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Applications to Certain Investments.” EITF Issue No. 03-01 includes new guidance on evaluating and recording impairment losses on debt and equity investments, as well as new disclosure requirements for investments that are considered to be temporarily impaired. The accounting guidance of EITF Issue No. 03-01 is effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004, while the disclosure requirements for debt and equity securities accounted for under SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2003. The adoption of EITF Issue No. 03-01 will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”, which supercedes SAB No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” SAB No. 104’s primary purpose is to rescind accounting guidance contained in SAB No. 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, superceded as a result of the issuance of EITF Issue No. 00-21. Additionally, SAB No. 104 rescinds the SEC’s Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements Frequently Asked Questions and Answers (“FAQ”) issued with SAB No. 101 that had been codified in SEC Topic 13, “Revenue Recognition.” Selected portions of the FAQ have been incorporated into SAB No. 104. While the wording of SAB No. 104 has changed to reflect the issuance of EITF 00-21, the revenue recognition principles of SAB No. 101 remain largely unchanged by the issuance of SAB No. 104. EITF 00-21 was effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. There was no impact to our consolidated financial statements related to SAB No. 104 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004.

 

Risk Factors

 

You should carefully consider the following risks, as well as the other information contained in this annual report, before investing in our securities. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business could be harmed. You should refer to the other information set forth or referred to in this annual report, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes incorporated by reference herein.

 

We have a history of losses and we may not achieve or maintain profitability.

 

We have incurred losses since our inception, including losses of approximately $29.9 million during the year ended June 30, 2004. As of June 30, 2004, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $2.6 billion, which includes

 

35


approximately $2.0 billion of goodwill impairment and amortization. We currently have net losses and negative cash flows and expect to continue to spend significant amounts to develop or enhance our products, services and technologies and to enhance sales and operational capabilities. We may not achieve profitability in accordance with our expectations. We will need to generate increases in revenue and continue to manage costs to achieve profitability. We face a number of risks including:

 

    our ability to upgrade, develop and maintain our products and effectively respond to the rapid technology change in wireless and broadband communications;

 

    our ability to anticipate and respond to the announcement or introduction of new or enhanced products or services by our competitors;

 

    the rate of growth, if any, in end-user purchases of data-enabled mobile phones, use of our products, and the growth of wireless data networks generally;

 

    the growth of mobile data usage by our customers’ subscribers;

 

    the volume of sales of our products and services by our strategic partners, distribution partners and resellers; and

 

    general economic market conditions and their affect on our operations and the operations of our customers.

 

In addition, our customer base consists of a limited number of communication service providers and mobile device manufacturers. Our ability to achieve or maintain profitability depends in large part on our continued ability to introduce reliable and robust products that meet the demanding needs of these customers and their willingness to launch, maintain and market commercial services utilizing our products. As a result, our business strategy may not be successful, and we may not successfully address these risks.

 

We issued $150 million of convertible subordinated notes due September 2008, which we may not be able to repay in cash upon a change of control or at maturity and could result in dilution of our earnings per share.

 

In September 2003, we issued $150 million of 2¾% convertible subordinated notes due September 9, 2008. The notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at the option of the holder at any time on or prior to the business day prior to maturity. The notes are currently convertible at a conversion price of $18.396 per share, or 54.3596 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events. In addition, each holder may require us to purchase all or a portion of such holder’s notes upon the occurrence of specified change in control events. We may choose to pay the repurchase price of the notes in cash or shares of our common stock. We may not have enough cash on hand or have the ability to access cash to pay the notes in cash on a change of control or at maturity. The repurchase of our notes with shares of our common stock or the conversion of the notes into shares of our common stock may result in dilution of our earnings per share.

 

Our operating results are subject to significant fluctuations, and this may cause our stock price to decline in future periods.

 

Our operating results have fluctuated in the past and may do so in the future. Our revenue, particularly our licensing revenue, is difficult to forecast and is likely to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Factors that may lead to significant fluctuation in our operating results include, but are not limited to:

 

    the introduction of new products or services or changes in pricing policies by us or our competitors;

 

    delays in development, launches, market acceptance or implementation by our customers of our products and services;

 

36


    purchasing patterns of and changes in demand by our customers for our products and services and the lack of visibility into the timing of our customers’ purchasing decisions;

 

    our concentrated target market and the potentially substantial effect on total revenues that may result from the gain or loss of business from each incremental customer; and

 

    potential slowdowns or quality deficiencies in the introduction of new telecommunication networks or improved mobile phones;

 

Our operating results could also be affected by disputes or litigation with other parties, general industry factors, including a slowdown in capital spending or growth in the telecommunications industry, either temporary or otherwise, and general political and economic factors, including an economic slowdown or recession, acts of terrorism or war, and health crises or disease outbreaks.

 

Most of our expenses, such as compensation for current employees and lease payments for facilities and equipment, are relatively fixed. In addition, our expense levels are based, in part, on our expectations regarding future revenues. As a result, any shortfall in revenues relative to our expectations could cause significant changes in our operating results from period to period. Due to the foregoing factors, we believe period-to-period comparisons of our revenue levels and operating results may be of limited use. From time to time we may be unable to meet our internal projections or the projections of securities analysts and investors that follow us. To the extent that we are unable to do so, we expect that the trading price of our stock could fall dramatically. These fluctuations may be exaggerated if the trading volume of our common stock is low.

 

Changes in accounting standards or our accounting policy relating to stock-based compensation may negatively affect our reported operating results.

 

We are currently not required to record stock-based compensation charges if the employee’s stock option exercise price equals or exceeds the deemed fair value of our common stock at the date of grant. However, several companies have recently elected to change their accounting policies and begun to record the fair value of stock options as an expense. Although the standards have not been finalized, the FASB has announced its support for recording expense for the fair value of stock options granted. Please see Note 2 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a table displaying the impact to our operating expenses if we were to change our accounting policy in accordance with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure”, and retroactively restate all prior periods as if we had adopted SFAS No. 123 for all periods presented. If we elect, or are required, to expense stock-based compensation then such a change will negatively affect our reported operating results.

 

Our sales cycle is long and our stock price could decline if sales are delayed or cancelled.

 

Our sales cycle is lengthy, often between six months and twelve months, and unpredictable due to the lengthy education and customer approval process for our products, including internal reviews and capital expenditure approvals. Further, the emerging and evolving nature of the market for data services via mobile phones may lead prospective customers to postpone their purchasing decisions. Any delay in sales of our products could cause our operating results to vary significantly from projected results, which could cause our stock price to decline.

 

37


We depend substantially on the sale of international product licenses. A slow-down in international sales could harm our operating results.

 

International sale of product licenses and services accounted for approximately 59% of our total revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. Risks inherent in conducting business internationally include:

 

    failure by us and/or third-parties to develop localized content and applications that are used with our products;

 

    fluctuations in currency exchange rates and any imposition of currency exchange controls;

 

    unexpected changes in regulatory requirements applicable to the Internet or our business;

 

    differing technology standards and pace of adoption;

 

    export restrictions on encryption and other technologies;

 

    difficulties in collecting accounts receivable and longer collection periods; and

 

    differences in foreign laws and regulations, including foreign tax, intellectual property, labor and contract law.

 

Any of these factors could harm our international operations and, consequently, our operating results.

 

We are exposed to the credit risk of some of our customers and to credit exposures in weakened markets which could result in write-offs in excess of amounts reserved for credit exposure.

 

Since the cost of developing new technology is high, there are many companies that are experiencing difficulties in obtaining the necessary financing to continue in business. A portion of our sales is derived through customers who tend to have access to more limited financial resources than others and, therefore, represent potential sources of increased credit risk. Although we have programs in place to monitor and mitigate the credit risk associated with our existing customers, there can be no assurance that such programs will be effective in reducing our credit risk. We have recently experienced losses due to customers failing to meet their obligations, primarily as a result of the weakened financial state of the wireless and telecommunications industry. Future losses, if incurred, could harm our business and have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

 

We may not be successful in obtaining complete license usage reports from our customers on a timely basis, which could impact our reported results.

 

Although our customers are contractually obligated to provide license usage reports, we are sometimes unable to obtain such reports in a timely manner. In addition, the reports may not completely reflect actual usage. We assist customers in complying with this obligation by providing a software measurement tool, installing the measurement tool whenever possible and customizing that tool where appropriate. The measurement tool, however, currently is not installed with all of our customers, does not measure the use of all of our products and has other limitations that we are continuing to attempt to address by refining the tool. In addition, we may be unable to install our measurement tool with all of our customers or we may be unable to overcome all of the limitations currently within the tool. The inability to obtain accurate license usage reports on all of our customers could have an adverse impact on the revenues that we realize and could, accordingly, negatively affect our financial performance.

 

We rely on estimates to determine arrangement fee revenue recognition for a particular reporting period. If our estimates change, future expected revenues could adversely change.

 

For certain fixed fee solutions-based arrangements, we apply the percentage of completion method to recognize revenue. Applying the percentage of completion method, we estimate progress on our professional services projects,

 

38


which determines license and professional service revenues for a particular period. If, in a particular period, our estimates to project completion change and we estimate project overruns, revenue recognition for such projects in the period may be less than expected or even negative.

 

Certain arrangements have refundability and penalty provisions that, if triggered, could adversely impact future operating results.

 

In certain of our solution-based arrangements, customers have refundability rights and can invoke penalties should we not perform against certain contractual obligations. If these refundability provisions or penalty clauses are invoked, certain deferred revenues may not be recognizable as revenue, negative revenues may be recorded, and certain deferred charges and penalty expenses may be recognized as expenses at such time.

 

We rely upon a small number of customers for a significant portion of our revenues, and the failure to retain these customers or add new customers may harm our business.

 

To date, a significant portion of our revenues in any particular period has been attributable to a limited number of customers, comprised primarily of communication service providers. Significant customers for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 include KDDI and Sprint. Sales to KDDI accounted for approximately 5% of total revenues during the year ended June 30, 2004. Sales to Sprint accounted for approximately 8% of total revenues during the year ended June 30, 2004. Either of these customers may not continue to generate significant revenues for us and we may be unable to replace these customers with new ones on a timely basis or at all.

 

We believe that we will continue to rely upon a limited number of customers for a significant portion of our revenues from each period for the forseeable future, and any failure by us to capture a significant share of these customers could materially harm our business. We believe that the telecommunications industry is entering a period of consolidation. To the extent that our customer base consolidates, we will have increased dependence on a few customers who may be able to exert increased pressure on our prices and contractual terms in general.

 

The market for our products and services is highly competitive. We may be unable to successfully compete which may decrease our market share and harm our operating results.

 

The market for our products and services is highly competitive. Many of our existing and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing and distribution resources than we have. Their greater financial resources have enabled, and may continue to enable, them to aggressively price, finance and bundle certain of their product offerings to attempt to gain market adoption or to increase market share. These activities have increased price pressure on us and increased the need for us to partner with larger resellers with broader product offerings and financing capabilities, which may negatively affect our market share and financial performance.

 

If our competitors offer deep discounts on certain products in an effort to gain market share or to sell other products or services, we may then need to lower prices, change our pricing models, or offer other favorable terms in order to compete successfully. Any such changes would be likely to reduce margins and could adversely affect operating results and constrain prices we can charge our customers in the future.

 

We expect that we will continue to compete primarily on the basis of quality, breadth of product and service offerings, functionality, price and time to market. Our current and potential competitors include the following:

 

    wireless equipment manufacturers, such as Ericsson, Nokia, and Nortel;

 

    wireless messaging software providers, such as Comverse, Ericsson, and LogicaCMG;

 

39


    software providers, such as 7.24 Solutions, Critical Path, Intrado, and LightSurf;

 

    service providers, such as E-Commerce Solutions;

 

    client technology competitors, such as Access, Qualcomm, Symbian, and Teleca;

 

    computer system companies such as Microsoft and Sun;

 

    providers of Internet software applications and content, electronic messaging applications and personal information management software solutions;

 

    antispam and antivirus providers such as Ironport.

 

Nokia also competes directly with us by offering WAP servers, client software and messaging (offering end-to-end solutions based on its proprietary smart messaging protocol and on MMS) to communication service providers. Nokia also markets its WAP server to corporate customers and content providers, which if successful, could undermine the need of communication service providers to provide their own WAP gateways (since these WAP servers directly access applications and services rather than through WAP gateways).

 

Qualcomm’s end-to-end proprietary system called “BREW” TM does not use our technology and offers wireless device manufacturers an alternative method for installing applications. Qualcomm’s strong market position in CDMA with its chipsets technology provides them with a position to build the BREW system with CDMA operators. If Qualcomm’s BREW system is widely adopted it could undermine the need for wireless device manufacturers to install our client software and reduce our ability to sell gateways and wireless applications to communication service providers.

 

Furthermore, the proliferation and evolution of operating system software in smartphones, a market segment backed by corporations with resources greater than ours, such as Microsoft and Nokia, may threaten the market position of our client software offerings as other software becomes more competitive in price.

 

Our technology depends on the adoption of standards such as those set forth by the Open Mobile Alliance (“OMA”). If such standards are not effectively established our business could suffer. Use of open industry standards, however, may also make us more vulnerable to competition.

 

We promote open standards in our technology in order to support open competition and interoperability. We aim to achieve this through working together with customers, suppliers and industry participants regarding standardization issues. Through open standards, specifications and interoperability, we hope that the mobile data market achieves enhanced interoperability. We do not exercise control over many aspects of the development of open standards. Our products are integrated with communication service providers’ systems and mobile phones. If we are unable to continue to successfully integrate our platform products with these third-party technologies, our business could suffer. For example Qualcomm’s BREW system is a proprietary standard that could create impediments to the integration of our platform products. In addition, large wireless operators sometimes create detailed service specifications and requirements, such as Vodafone Live or DoCoMo iMode, and such operators are not required to share those specifications with us. Failure or delay in the creation of open, global specifications could have an adverse effect on the mobile data market in general and a negative impact on our sales and operating results. In addition, a number of our competitors, including Nokia, have announced or are expected to announce enhanced features and functionality both as proprietary extensions to the WAP standard and in the area of messaging platforms. Finally, infrastructure providers like Nokia and Ericsson may leverage installed technology and/or wireless device sales to sell end-to-end solutions.

 

40


The widespread adoption of open industry standards, however, may make it easier for new market entrants and existing competitors to introduce products that compete with our software products.

 

Our software products may contain defects or errors, which could result in rejection of our products, delays in shipment of our products, damage to our reputation, product liability and lost revenues.

 

The software we develop is complex and must meet the stringent technical requirements of our customers. We must develop our products quickly to keep pace with the rapidly changing Internet software and telecommunications markets. Software products and services as complex as ours are likely to contain undetected errors or defects, especially when first introduced or when new versions are released. We have in the past experienced delays in releasing some versions of our products until software problems were corrected. Our products may not be free from errors or defects after commercial shipments have begun, which could result in the rejection of our products and damage to our reputation, as well as lost revenues, diverted development resources and increased service and warranty costs, any of which could harm our business.

 

If mobile phones are not widely adopted for mobile delivery of data services or if new data services such as mobile messaging are not adopted widely our business could suffer materially.

 

We have focused a significant amount of our efforts on mass-market mobile phones as the principal means of delivery of data services using our products. If mobile phones are not widely adopted for mobile delivery of data services, our business could suffer materially. End-users currently use many competing products, such as portable computers, PDAs, and smart phones, to remotely access the Internet and email. These products generally are designed for the visual presentation of data, while, until recently, mobile phones historically have been limited in this regard. In addition, the development and proliferation of many types of competing products capable of mobile delivery of data service in a rapidly evolving industry represents a significant risk to the development of a primary standard. If end-users do not adopt mobile phones or other wireless devices containing our browser or client middleware platform as a means of accessing data services, our business could suffer materially.

 

Our success depends on continued acceptance of our products and services by communication service providers, their subscribers, and by wireless device manufacturers.

 

Our future success depends on our ability to increase revenues from sales of our software and services to communication service providers and other customers. To date, only a limited number of communication service providers and other customers have implemented and deployed services based on our products. In addition, many of these customers are large telecommunications companies who may be able to exert significant influence over our relationship with them. Furthermore, we are dependent upon our customers having growth in subscriber adoption for additional purchases as well as future versions of our products. Some of our customers have purchased license seats exceeding their current needs and may not have additional purchases, if any, until they utilize all of their current purchased licenses. Communication service providers and other partners may not widely deploy or successfully market services based on our products, and large numbers of subscribers might not use these services. The failure to do so could harm our operating results.

 

The market for the delivery of Internet-based services is rapidly evolving, and we may not be able to adequately address this market.

 

The market for the delivery of Internet-based services is rapidly evolving. As a result, the life cycle of our products is difficult to estimate. We may not be able to develop and introduce new products, services and enhancements that

 

41


respond to technological changes or evolving industry standards on a timely basis, in which case our business would suffer. In addition, we cannot predict the rate of adoption by wireless subscribers of these services or the price they will be willing to pay for these services. As a result, it is extremely difficult to predict the pricing of these services and the future size and growth rate of this market.

 

Our communication service provider customers face implementation and support challenges in introducing Internet-based services, which may slow their rate of adoption or implementation of the services our products enable. Historically, communication service providers have been relatively slow to implement new complex services such as data services. In addition, communication service providers may encounter greater customer service demands to support data services via mobile phones than they do for their traditional voice services. We have limited or no control over the pace at which communication service providers implement these new services. The failure of communication service providers to introduce and support services utilizing our products in a timely and effective manner could harm our business.

 

If widespread integration of browser technology does not occur in mobile phones, our business could suffer.

 

All of our agreements with wireless device manufacturers are nonexclusive, so they may choose to embed a browser other than ours in their mobile phones. We may not succeed in maintaining and developing relationships with wireless device manufacturers, and any arrangements may be terminated early or not renewed at expiration. In addition, wireless device manufacturers may not produce products using our browser in a timely manner, in sufficient quantities, or with sufficient quality, if at all.

 

Our business depends on continued growth in use and improvement of the Internet and customers ability to operate their systems effectively.

 

The infrastructure, products and services necessary to maintain and expand the Internet may not be developed, and the Internet may not continue to be a viable medium for secure and reliable personal and business communication, in which case our business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed. Because we are in the business of providing Internet infrastructure software and services, our future success depends on the continued expansion of, and reliance of consumers and businesses on, the Internet for communications and other services. The Internet may not be able to support an increased number of users or an increase in the volume of data transmitted over it. As a result, the performance or reliability of the Internet in response to increased demands will require timely improvement of the high speed modems and other communications equipment that form the Internet’s infrastructure. The Internet has, in the past, experienced temporary outages and delays as a result of damage to portions of its infrastructure. The effectiveness of the Internet may also decline due to delays in the development or adoption of new technical standards and protocols designed to support increased levels of activity and due to the transmission of computer viruses and widespread spamming.

 

In addition to problems that may affect the Internet as a whole, our customers have in the past experienced some interruptions in providing their Internet-related services, including services related to our software products. We believe that these interruptions will continue to occur from time to time. Our revenues depend substantially upon the number of subscribers who use the services provided by our customers. Our business may suffer if our customers experience frequent or long system interruptions that result in the unavailability or reduced performance of their systems or networks or reduce their ability to provide services to their subscribers.

 

42


In addition, to increase the growth in use and improvement of the Internet requires that mobile phone or other wireless device manufacturers produce new mobile phones that contain updated software and functionality that are compatible with our software. There can be no assurance that mobile phone or wireless device manufactures will produce enough mobile phones, meet delivery dates, or produce devices that work properly and are not subject to a high level of recalls. In addition, there can be no assurance that consumers will purchase mobile phones or wireless devices that contain updated software and functionality that are compatible with our software.

 

Our business depends on continued investment and improvement in communication networks and our customers’ ability to operate their systems effectively.

 

Many of our customers and other communication service providers have made major investments in 3rd generation networks that are intended to support more complex applications and to provide end users with a more satisfying user experience. If communication service providers delay their deployment of networks or fail to roll such networks out successfully, there could be less demand for our products and services and our business could suffer. In addition, if communication service providers fail to continue to make investments in their networks or invest at a slower pace in the future, there may be less demand for our products and services and our business could suffer.

 

We may not be successful in forming or maintaining strategic alliances with other companies, which could negatively affect our product offerings and sales, and could result in deterioration of our sales channels.

 

Our business is becoming increasingly dependent on forming or maintaining strategic alliances with other companies, and we may not be able to form alliances that are important to ensure that our products are compatible with third-party products, to enable us to license our software into potential new customers and into potential new markets, and to enable us to continue to enter into new license agreements with our existing customers. There can be no assurance that we will identify the best alliances for our business or that we will be able to maintain existing relationships with other companies or enter into new alliances with other companies on acceptable terms or at all. The failure to maintain or establish successful strategic alliances could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial results. If we cannot form and maintain significant strategic alliances with other companies as our target markets and technology evolves, the sales opportunities for our products could deteriorate.

 

Our success depends in part on our ability to maintain and expand our distribution channels.

 

Our success depends in part on our ability to increase sales of our products and services through value-added resellers and systems integrators and to expand our indirect distribution channels. If we are unable to maintain the relationships that we have with our existing distribution partners, increase revenues derived from sales through our indirect distribution channels, or increase the number of distribution partners with whom we have relationships, then we may not be able to increase our revenues.

 

We expect that many communication service providers, especially in international markets will require that our products and support services be supplied through value-added resellers and systems integrators. Thus, we expect that a significant portion of sales will be made through value-added resellers and systems integrators, and the success of our operations will depend on our ability to maintain productive relationships with value-added resellers and systems integrators.

 

In addition, our agreements with our distribution partners generally do not restrict the sale by them of products and services that are competitive with our products and services, and each of our partners generally can cease marketing our products and services at their option and, in some circumstances, with little notice and with little or no penalty.

 

43


We may not be successful in our strategic investments, which could harm our operating results.

 

We have made, and in the future, we may continue to make strategic investments in other companies. These investments have been made in, and future investments will likely be made in, immature businesses with unproven track records and technologies. Such investments have a high degree of risk, with the possibility that we may lose the total amount of our investments. We may not be able to identify suitable investment candidates, and even if we do, we may not be able to make those investments on acceptable terms, or at all. Further, even if we make investments, we may not gain strategic benefits from those investments. In addition, we may need to record an impairment charge of the strategic investments to our operations.

 

We may be unable to successfully integrate acquisitions of other businesses and technologies into our business or achieve the expected benefits of such acquisitions or business combinations.

 

To date, we have acquired or combined with numerous companies and technologies and may acquire additional companies or technologies or enter into additional business combinations in the future. Our past acquisitions and combinations have resulted in a variety of challenges, including the ability to successfully assimilate the personnel, operations and customers of these businesses and integrate their technology with our existing technology, products and services.

 

We may acquire or enter into business combinations in the future. Entering into any business combination entails many risks, any of which could materially harm our business. These risks include:

 

    diversion of Management’s attention from other business concerns;

 

    failure to assimilate the acquired or combined businesses or technologies with pre-existing businesses and technologies;

 

    potential loss of key employees from either our pre-existing business or the acquired or merged business;

 

    impact of any negative customer relationships acquired;
   

 

    dilution of our existing stockholders as a result of issuing equity securities; and

 

    assumption of liabilities of the acquired or merged company, business, or technology.

 

Additionally, we may fail to achieve the anticipated synergies from such acquisitions, including product integration, marketing, product development, distribution and other operating synergies.

 

We depend on others to provide content and develop applications for mobile phones.

 

In order to increase the value to customers of our product platform and encourage subscriber demand for Internet-based services via mobile phones, we must successfully promote the development of Internet-based applications and content for this market. If content providers and application developers fail to create sufficient applications and content for Internet-based services via mobile phones, our business could suffer materially. Our success in motivating content providers and application developers to create and support content and applications that subscribers find useful and compelling will depend, in part, on our ability to develop a customer base of communication service providers and wireless device manufacturers large enough to justify significant and continued investments in these endeavors. In addition, we depend on the wireless device manufacturers to provide quality user-friendly mobile phones that enable the wireless Internet.

 

44


We depend on recruiting and retaining key management and technical personnel with telecommunications and Internet software experience which are integral in developing, marketing and selling our products.

 

Because of the technical nature of our products and the dynamic market in which we compete, our performance depends on attracting and retaining key employees. In particular, our future success depends in part on the continued services of many of our current executive officers and other key employees. Competition for qualified personnel in the telecommunications, Internet software and Internet messaging industries is significant. We believe that there are only a limited number of persons with the requisite skills to serve in many key positions, and it is difficult to hire and retain these persons. Furthermore it may become more difficult to hire and retain key persons as a result of our past restructuring, any future restructurings, and as a result our past stock performance. Competitors and others have in the past, and may in the future, attempt to recruit our employees.

 

Our restructuring of operations may not achieve the results we intend and may harm our business.

 

In October 2001, September 2002 and June 2003, we initiated plans to streamline operations and reduce expenses, which included cuts in discretionary spending, reductions in capital expenditures, reductions in the work force and consolidation of certain office locations, as well as other steps to reduce expenses. In connection with the restructurings, we were required to make certain product and product development tradeoffs with limited information regarding the future demand for our various products. There can be no assurance that in connection with the restructurings we decided to pursue the correct product offerings to take advantage of future market opportunities. Furthermore, the implementation of our restructuring plans has placed, and may continue to place, a significant strain on our managerial, operational, financial, employee and other resources. Additionally, the restructurings may negatively affect our employee turnover as well as recruiting and retention of important employees. These reductions could impair our marketing, sales and customer support efforts or alter our product development plans. If we experience difficulties in carrying out the restructuring plans, our expenses could increase more quickly than we expect. If we find that our planned restructurings do not achieve our objectives, it may be necessary to implement further reduction of our expenses, to perform additional reductions in our headcount, or to undertake additional restructurings of our business. In addition, our restructuring may not result in anticipated cost-savings, which could harm our future operating results.

 

Our intellectual property could be misappropriated, which could force us to become involved in expensive and time-consuming litigation.

 

Our ability to compete and continue to provide technological innovation is substantially dependent upon internally-developed technology. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, and trade secret laws to protect our intellectual property or proprietary rights in such technology, although we believe that other factors such as the technological and creative skills of our personnel, new product developments, frequent product and feature enhancements and reliable product support and maintenance are more essential to maintaining a technology leadership position. We also rely on trademark law to protect the value of our corporate brand and reputation.

 

We generally enter into confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements with our employees, consultants, prospective customers, licensees and corporate partners. In addition, we control access to and distribution of our software, documentation and other proprietary information. Except for limited arrangements with our browser product and certain limited escrow arrangements with respect to some of our other products, we generally do not provide customers with access to the source code for our products. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property and

 

45


proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our products, technology or trademarks. Effectively policing the unauthorized use of our products, technology and trademarks is time consuming and costly, and there can be no assurance that the steps taken by us will prevent infringement of our intellectual property or proprietary rights in our products, technology and trademarks, particularly in foreign countries where in many instances the local laws or legal systems do not offer the same level of protection as in the United States.

 

Third parties may claim that we infringe their intellectual property or other rights and we may be forced to engage in expensive and time-consuming litigation or take other actions that divert management’s attention and resources from developing our business.

 

We attempt to avoid infringing intellectual property rights of third-parties in the operation of our business. However, we do not regularly conduct comprehensive patent searches to determine whether the technology used in our products infringes patents held by third-parties. Because patent applications in certain jurisdictions, such as the United States, are not publicly disclosed until the patent is issued, applications may have been filed which relate to our products. In addition, our competitors and other companies as well as research and academic institutions have conducted research for many years in the electronic messaging field, and this research could lead to the filing of further patent applications. If we were to discover that our products violated or potentially violated third-party intellectual property rights, we might not be able to obtain licenses, in which case we might not be able to continue offering those products without substantial reengineering. Any reengineering effort may not be successful, nor can we be certain that any licenses would be available on commercially reasonable terms in which case we may need to stop marketing and licensing our products.

 

As the number of our products and services increases and their features and content continue to expand, and as we acquire the right to use technology through acquisitions or licenses, we may increasingly become subject to infringement and other types of claims by third parties. Our exposure to risks associated with the use of intellectual property may increase as a result of acquisitions, as we have a lower level of visibility into how such technology was developed or otherwise procured. Substantial litigation regarding intellectual property rights exists in the software industry, and we expect that software products may be increasingly subject to third-party infringement claims as the number of competitors in our industry segments grow and the functionality of software products in different industry segments overlaps. In addition, from time to time, we or our customers may become aware of certain third party patents that may relate to our products. If a patent infringement claim is asserted against us, it could be time consuming to defend, result in costly litigation, divert Management’s attention and resources, cause product and service delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Any royalty or licensing arrangements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. A successful claim of infringement against us and our failure or inability to license the infringing or similar technology could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The security provided by our products could be breached, in which case our reputation, business, financial condition and operating results could suffer.

 

The occurrence or perception of security breaches could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. A fundamental requirement for online communications is the secure transmission of confidential information over the Internet. Third-parties may attempt to breach the security provided by our products, or the security of our customers’ internal systems. If they are successful, they could obtain confidential information about our customers’ end users, including their passwords, financial account information, credit card numbers or other personal information. Our customers or their end users may file suits against us for any breach in security, which could result in costly litigation

 

46


or harm our reputation. The perception of security risks, whether or not valid, could inhibit market acceptance of our products. Despite our implementation of security measures, our software is vulnerable to computer viruses, electronic break-ins, intentional overloading of servers and other sabotage, and similar disruptions, which could lead to interruptions, delays, or loss of data.

 

Our stock price may be volatile, exposing us to expensive and time-consuming securities class action litigation.

 

The stock market in general, and the stock prices of companies in our industry in particular, have recently experienced extreme volatility, which has often been unrelated to the operating performance of any particular company or companies. If market or industry-based fluctuations continue, our stock price could decline below current levels regardless of our actual operating performance. Therefore, if a large number of shares of our stock are sold in a short period of time, our stock price will decline. In the past, securities class action litigation has sometimes been brought against companies following periods of volatility in their stock prices. We have in the past and may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our Management’s time and resources, which could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.

 

Item 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

(a)  Foreign Currency Risk

 

We operate internationally and thus are exposed to potentially adverse movements in foreign currency rate changes. We have entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce our exposure to foreign currency rate changes on receivables, payables and intercompany balances denominated in a nonfunctional currency. The objective of these contracts is to neutralize the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements on our operating results. These contracts require us to exchange currencies at rates agreed upon at the inception of the contracts. These contracts reduce the exposure to fluctuations in exchange rate movements because the gains and losses associated with foreign currency balances and transactions are generally offset with the gains and losses of the foreign exchange forward contracts. Because the impact of movements in currency exchange rates on forward contracts offsets the related impact on the underlying items being hedged, these financial instruments help alleviate the risk that might otherwise result from changes in currency exchange rates. We do not designate our foreign exchange forward contracts as hedges and, accordingly, we adjust these instruments to fair value through earnings in the period of change in their fair value. Net foreign exchange transaction gains(losses) included in “Interest income and other income, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations totaled $(0.2) million, $1.0 million, and $(0.9) million for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. As of June 30, 2004, we have forward contracts that have a total notional amount of Euro 7.5 million and GBP 2.0 million that expire during the September 30, 2004 quarter.

(b)  Interest Rate Risk

 

As of June 30, 2004, we had cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments, and restricted cash and investments of $341.8 million. Our exposure to market risks for changes in interest rates relates primarily to corporate debt securities, U.S. Treasury Notes and certificates of deposit. We place our investments with high credit quality issuers that have a rating by Moody’s of A1 or higher and Standard & Poors of P-1 or higher, and, by policy, limit the amount of the credit exposure to any one issuer. Our general policy is to limit the risk of principal loss and ensure the safety of invested funds by limiting market and credit risk. All highly liquid investments with a maturity of less than three months at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents; all investments with maturities of three months or greater are classified as available-for-sale and considered to be short-term investments; all investments with maturities of greater than one year and less than two years are classified as available-for-sale and considered to be long-term investments. We do not purchase investments with a maturity date greater than two years from the date of purchase.

 

The following is a chart of the principal amounts of short-term investments and long-term investments by expected maturity at June 30, 2004 (in thousands):

The remaining balance of $10.1 million comprises U.S. government securities pledged for payment of the remaining five semi-annual interest payments due under the terms of the convertible subordinated notes indenture. The weighted average interest rate of the restricted investments was 1.7% at June 30, 2004.

Item 9A.    Controls and Procedures

 

(a)  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). From April 2003 to June 2004, the Company did not have a CFO. On July 28, 2004, the Company promoted Joshua Pace from Chief Accounting Officer to CFO. We believe that there are always limitations on the effectiveness of any control system, no matter how well conceived and operated. A control system can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are being met, however based on the evaluation performed, the CEO and current CFO have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting on a timely basis to information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act.

 

(b)  Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Item 9B.    Other Information

 

There were no items required to be disclosed in a report on Form 8-K during the fiscal fourth quarter that were not previously reported on Form 8-K.

(1)   This table does not include compensation plans from which we are no longer issuing shares, except for the future issuance of shares upon exercise of options that are still outstanding. As of June 30, 2004 there were still options to acquire 13,507 shares with a weighted-average exercise price of $33.19 outstanding under such plans. We assumed all of these options in connection with acquisitions of certain business entities.

 

Openwave System’s 2001 Stock Compensation Plan.    This plan provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options, restricted stock bonus awards, and rights to acquire restricted stock to employees, directors (including

 

50


non-employee directors) and consultants. A maximum of 4,068,128 shares of our common stock may be issued under this plan, of which 533,333 shares are reserved for issuance to non-officer employees who exercise an option under this plan. Shares returning to the plan upon cancellation of outstanding options or the unvested portion of restricted stock bonus awards may be made subject to future awards.

 

This plan is administered by our board of directors, which is entitled to delegate this administration at any time to a board committee or sub-committee designated to administer it. The board or committee that administers this plan has the full power to select the individuals to whom awards will be granted and to make any combination of awards to any participants. The board or committee that administers the plan may set the exercise price for options at, above or below the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Options granted under this plan generally have a term of no more than ten years from the date of grant.

 

The board or committee that administers this plan may also determine the terms of the awards granted, including the exercise or purchase price for an option or stock purchase right, the number of shares subject to each award, the term of the award, and the vesting and/or exercisability provisions applicable to the award.

 

If we merge with, or are acquired by, another company, awards outstanding under this plan may be assumed or equivalent awards substituted by our acquirer. However, if our acquirer does not agree to assume or substitute for outstanding awards, the awards shall terminate upon the closing of the merger or acquisition.

 

As of June 30, 2004, awards to purchase 1,032,263 shares of our common stock were outstanding under the plan at a weighted average exercise price of $7.49 per share. As of June 30, 2004, 1,293,464 shares of our common stock had been purchased or issued pursuant to awards granted under this plan.

 

This plan will continue in effect until terminated by the board of directors. The board of directors may amend, alter or discontinue the plan, but no amendment, alteration or discontinuation of this plan shall be made without the written consent of a participant, if such participant’s rights would be diminished under any previously granted award.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Openwave Systems Inc.:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Openwave Systems Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2004. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

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

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Openwave Systems Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

As discussed in Note 2(g) to the consolidated financial statements, effective July 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002

 

(1)    Organization

 

Openwave Systems Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated in Delaware in 1994 to develop and market software that enables the delivery of Internet-based services to mass-market wireless telephones. The Company’s software products comprise client software, which includes our mobile phone browser software and architecture software that resides on mobile phones; infrastructure software which comprises the foundation software required to enable internet connectivity to mobile phones and to build a set of applications for mobile phone users; and application software which enables end-users to exchange electronic mail and multimedia messages from personal computers, wireline telephones and mobile phones, and provides end-users with spam and virus protection.

 

(2)    Significant Accounting Policies

 

(a)    Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

On October 21, 2003, the Company completed a one-for-three reverse split of its common stock. All share and per share data in the financial statements presented herein have been updated to reflect this change. Additionally, certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, including a reclassification of $11.0 million from deferred revenue to deferred revenue, net of current portion at June 30, 2003.

 

(b)    Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could affect the results of operations reported in future periods.

 

(c)    Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short- and Long-Term Investments

 

Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash and highly liquid investments with remaining maturities of less than 90 days at the date of purchase. Cash equivalents are comprised of short-term investments with an investment rating by Moody’s of A1 or higher or by Standard & Poors of P-1 or higher. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions or the issuers of these investments to the extent of the amounts recorded on the balance sheet are in excess of amounts that are insured by the FDIC.

 

The Company classifies its investments in debt and marketable equity securities as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until realized. The Company uses the specific-identification method in determining cost in calculating realized gains and losses. The Company invests in short-term and long-term investments with an investment rating by Moody’s of A1 or higher and Standard & Poors of P-1 or higher and a maturity of no greater than two years. Short-term investments have maturities of less than one year but longer than 90 days. Investments with remaining maturities greater than one year, are classified as long-term investments. The objective of the Company’s policy is to protect the value of its fixed income investment portfolio while minimizing principal risk.

(d)    Accounts Receivable

 

The Company makes judgments as to its ability to collect outstanding receivables and provides allowances for a portion of receivables when collection becomes doubtful. Provisions are made based upon a specific review of all significant outstanding invoices. For those invoices not specifically reviewed, provisions are made at differing rates, based upon the age of the receivable. In determining these provisions, the Company analyzes several factors, including: its historical collection experience, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness and current economic trends. If the historical data used to calculate the allowance for doubtful accounts does not reflect the Company’s future ability to collect outstanding receivables, the Company may record additional provisions for doubtful accounts. The Company records the provision for doubtful accounts in general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

(e)    Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term.

 

(f)    Restricted Cash and Investments

 

Restricted cash and investments comprise restricted cash equivalents and investments in federal agencies and corporate bonds. The restricted cash and investments secure letters of credit required by landlords to meet rent deposit requirements for certain leased facilities and certain covenants required by the Company’s convertible debt (see Note 6(b)).

 

(g)    Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

The Company records goodwill when consideration paid in a purchase acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net tangible assets and the identified intangible assets acquired. On July 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill and the identified intangible assets were amortized on a straight-line basis over three to five years. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually or whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the goodwill may not be recoverable. Goodwill and intangible assets are tested for impairment in the Company’s fiscal third quarter. SFAS No. 142 also requires the Company to amortize intangible assets over their respective finite lives up to their estimated residual values, (see Note 6(f)).

 

SFAS No. 142 requires that intangible assets with finite useful lives be reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether they were previously held and used or newly acquired, and it also broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions. The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of the long-lived assets, including goodwill and intangible assets, may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in

 

F-10


OPENWAVE SYSTEMS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

circumstances occur, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through the undiscounted expected future cash flow. If the future undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of these assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets in accordance with SFAS No.144 (See Note 11).

 

(h)    Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s four primary revenue categories are comprised of license, maintenance and support services, professional services and project/systems revenues. As described in Note 5, “Geographic, Segment and Significant Customer Information,” the disaggregated revenue information reviewed on a product category by the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) includes the licensing of the Company’s application software and related maintenance and support services; the licensing of client software and related maintenance and support services; the licensing of infrastructure software and related maintenance and support services; professional services; and project/system revenues, which include porting services with partners, and a significant “managed service” arrangement with a communications service provider. The Company licenses its application software and infrastructure software products primarily to communication service providers through its direct sales force and channel partners. The Company licenses its client software products primarily to wireless device manufacturers through its direct sales force. As part of its license arrangements with communication service providers, the Company offers new version coverage, which is an optional program that grants licensees the right to receive minor and major version releases of the product made during the applicable new version coverage term. Customers receive error and bug fix releases as part of their license maintenance and support arrangements.

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition”, as amended by SOP No. 98-9, “Modification of SOP No. 97-2 Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions”, and generally recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met as set forth in paragraph 8 of SOP No. 97-2: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred, (3) the fee is fixed or determinable and (4) collectibility is probable. The Company defines each of the four criteria above as follows:

 

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists.    The Company’s customary practice is to have a written contract, which is signed by both the customer and the Company, or a purchase order from those customers that have previously negotiated a standard license arrangement with the Company.

 

Delivery has occurred.    The Company’s software may be either physically or electronically delivered to the customer. For those products that are delivered physically, the Company’s standard transfer terms are freight on board (“FOB”) shipping point. For an electronic delivery of software, delivery is considered to have occurred when the customer has been provided with the access codes that allow the customer to take immediate possession of the software on its hardware. If the Company’s contracts include customer acceptance criteria that the Company has not reliably satisfied at the time of delivery of its software, delivery, for purposes of license, occurs when such acceptance criteria is satisfied. For professional services arrangements with milestones or customer specified acceptance criteria, delivery occurs as services are proportionally performed.

 

The fee is fixed or determinable.    The Company’s communication service provider customers generally pay a per subscriber fee or a fee for pre-purchased capacity usage of the Company’s products, which is negotiated at the outset of

 

F-11


OPENWAVE SYSTEMS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

an arrangement. In these arrangements, the communication service provider generally licenses the right to activate a specified minimum number of its subscribers to use the Company’s software products. Arrangement fees are generally due within one year or less from delivery. Arrangements with payment terms extending beyond these customary payment terms are considered not to be fixed or determinable, and revenue from such arrangements is recognized as payments become due, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. As the communication service providers activate customers beyond the minimum number specified in the arrangement, additional per-subscriber fees become due.

 

Collectibility is probable.    Collectibility is assessed on a customer-by-customer basis. The Company typically sells to customers for whom there is a history of successful collection. New and existing customers go through an ongoing credit review process, which evaluates the customers’ financial positions, their historical payment history, and ultimately their ability to pay. If it is determined prior to revenue recognition that the collection of an arrangement fee is not probable, arrangement revenue is deferred and recognized upon receipt of cash, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are satisfied.

 

The Company recognizes revenue using the residual method pursuant to the requirements of SOP No. 97-2, as amended by SOP No. 98-9. Under the residual method, revenue is recognized in a multiple element arrangement when Company-specific objective evidence of fair value exists for all of the undelivered elements in the arrangement, but does not exist for one of the delivered elements in the arrangement. The Company allocates revenue to each undelivered element in a multiple element arrangement based on its respective fair value. The Company’s determination of the fair value of each element in a multi-element arrangement is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”). The Company limits its assessment of VSOE for each element to the price charged when the same element is sold separately. In its multiple-element arrangements for perpetual software licenses, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met and the Company has VSOE for all undelivered elements, the Company recognizes revenue as follows: license revenue is recognized upon delivery using the residual method in accordance with SOP No. 98-9; revenue from new version coverage and maintenance and support services is recognized ratably over the period the element is provided; and, revenue from professional services is recognized as services are performed. New version coverage revenue is classified as license revenue in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

For its new version coverage and maintenance and support services elements, the Company determined that it has sufficient VSOE to allocate revenue to these elements when a substantive renewal rate exists in the arrangement. For its multiple-element arrangements where a substantive renewal rate does not exist for its new version coverage and/or maintenance and support elements, the Company determined that it does not have sufficient VSOE to allocate revenue to these undelivered elements. In this case, provided that these elements are the only remaining undelivered elements in the arrangement, arrangement fees are recognized ratably over the period that maintenance and support and/or new version coverage is provided, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are satisfied.

 

Arrangements that include professional services are evaluated to determine whether those services are essential to the functionality of other elements of the arrangement. In a multiple element arrangement when services are not considered essential, the revenue allocable to the services is recognized separately from the software, provided VSOE of fair value exists for the services. If VSOE of fair value does not exist for the services, then services are not accounted for separately. If the Company provides professional services that are considered essential to the functionality of the

OPENWAVE SYSTEMS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

software products, both the software product revenue and service revenue are recognized applying contract accounting in accordance with the provisions of SOP No. 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts.” Revenues from these arrangements are recognized under the percentage of completion method using an input method based on the ratio of direct labor hours incurred to date to total projected labor hours except in circumstances where completion status cannot be reasonably estimated or internal hazards exist, in which case the completed contract method is used.

 

For arrangements where services are not essential to the functionality of the software, the Company’s software products are typically fully functional upon delivery and do not require significant modification or alteration. In these arrangements, customers typically purchase professional services from the Company to facilitate the adoption of the Company’s technology, but they may also decide to use their own resources or appoint other professional service organizations to provide these services. Software products are generally billed separately and independently from professional services, which are generally billed on a time-and-materials or milestone-achieved basis. The Company less frequently bills the customer one flat fee for licenses and services. In these flat fee contracts, if services are described in the contract such that the total price of the arrangement would be expected to vary as a result of the inclusion or exclusion of the services, services are accounted for separately, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are satisfied. For time-and-materials contracts, the Company recognizes revenue as the services are performed. For fixed-fee arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue as the agreed upon activities are proportionately performed. On these fixed fee professional service arrangements, the Company generally measures progress to completion based on the ratio of hours incurred to total estimated project hours, an input method. If, however, the fixed fee arrangements include substantive customer specified progress milestones, the Company recognizes revenue as such progress milestones are achieved, an output method, as the Company believes this is a more accurate measure of revenue recognition. The Company believes it is able to reasonably estimate, track, and project the status of completion of a project, and considers customer acceptance as the Company’s criteria for substantial completion.

 

The Company also licenses its client software to wireless device manufacturers through its direct sales force and certain third parties. These license arrangements generally give the customer rights to receive product releases for porting to an unlimited unspecified number of devices for a specified period. In addition, the Company provides technical support services and compliance verification. In these arrangements, all arrangement fees are generally recognized ratably over the contract period, assuming all revenue criteria are satisfied.

 

The Company also enters into certain perpetual license arrangements where the license revenue is not recognized upon delivery, but rather is recognized as follows, assuming that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met:

 

    Contracts where the arrangement fee is not considered fixed or determinable. As discussed above, fees from such arrangements are recognized as revenue as the payments become due.

 

    Certain arrangements where the Company agrees to provide the customer with unspecified additional products for a specified term which are not covered by the Company’s new version coverage offering. License revenue from such arrangements is recognized ratably over the term the Company is committed to provide such additional products. If such arrangements also provide for fee terms that are not considered to be fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized in an amount that is the lesser of aggregate amounts due or the aggregate ratable amount that would have been recognized had the arrangement fees been considered fixed or determinable.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

    The Company enters into certain multiple-element arrangements in which license fees are sold on a committed basis, but maintenance and support and/or new version coverage fees are payable based on contingent usage. For these arrangements, the Company recognizes license revenue ratably over the period the Company expects to provide maintenance and support and/or new version coverage, and recognizes the contingent usage-based fees for maintenance and support fees and/or new version coverage fees at the time such fees become fixed and determinable.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2002, the Company entered into a significant contract with a service partner, under which the Company ported its software to the service partner’s hardware/software platform in exchange for a predetermined reimbursement rate; the partner resold the Company’s products and engaged in other joint activities. The Company recognized porting services revenues from this contract as project/systems revenues in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as the agreed upon activities were performed. With the adoption of Emerging Issue Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”, the Company separated the reseller and porting activities related to the project and recognized reseller revenues separately as they were earned. Cumulative revenues recognized may have been less or greater than cumulative billings at any point in time during the contract’s term. The resulting difference was recognized as either unbilled accounts receivable or deferred revenue. In accounting for project/system revenue the Company recognized revenue as the services were proportionally performed. As of June 30, 2004, the project was completed and all related project revenues were recognized.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Company entered into a significant contract with a communication services provider to provide a “managed service” software and system solution. Under the terms of the arrangement, the Company agreed to provide the following products and services in exchange for project milestone payments and ongoing service payments: software; third party software and hardware; maintenance and support and new version coverage; third party maintenance and support and new version coverage; implementation services, including significant customization and modification of the software and third party software; and, managed services for ongoing operational support of the software system/solution. The Company determined it has a single accounting unit as defined in EIFT Issue No. 00-21. The Company will recognize revenue using the proportional performance method initially assuming a zero profit margin, as the Company believes it can not reasonably estimate project completion status at June 30, 2004, but believes profitability is reasonably assured. The Company uses labor hours incurred as a percentage of total estimated labor hours as its input measure for determining the proportional performance on the project. Furthermore, applying the rules of EITF Issue No. 00-21, which limit revenue recognition to earned and realizable billings or amounts that are not contingent upon the delivery of additional items or meeting other specified performance conditions, revenue recognition on the arrangement is limited to non-contingent revenue. During the year-ended June 30, 2004, the Company recognized $5.0 million in systems revenues on this arrangement, which was classified as project/systems revenues in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of June 30, 2004, direct and incremental costs of $5.7 million on the arrangement incurred in excess of non-contingent revenue were deferred and were classified within prepaid and other current assets, as the Company has enforceable contractual rights related to such costs, anticipates recognizing a profit margin as future revenues are recognizable, and views such costs as an investment in the remainder of the contract.

 

Cost of license revenues is primarily comprised of third-party license and related support fees and amortization of purchased technology and contract intangible assets. Cost of maintenance and support services revenues consists of

 

F-14


OPENWAVE SYSTEMS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

compensation and related overhead costs for personnel engaged in training and support services to communication service providers and wireless device manufacturers. Cost of professional services revenues includes compensation and independent consultant costs for personnel engaged in delivering professional services and related overhead costs. Cost of project/system revenues includes direct costs incurred in the performance of development services under the porting arrangement, and direct and incremental costs on the “managed service” arrangement equal to non-contingent revenue earned. Cost of project revenues does not include certain sales-related activities required under the arrangement, which are classified as sales and marketing expense.

 

(i)    Product Development Costs

 

The Company begins capitalizing software product development costs only after establishing technological feasibility, defined as a working model, and capitalization of costs ceases when the product is available for general release to customers. Amortization of these costs begins upon general release and represents the greater of the amount computed using (i) the ratio of current gross revenues for the products to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for the products, or (ii) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic lives of the products. To date, the Company’s software has been available for general release concurrent with or immediately following the establishment of technological feasibility and, accordingly, no product development costs have been capitalized.

 

(j)    Advertising expense

 

Advertising and promotion costs are generally charged to expense as incurred. Advertising costs totaled $3.1 million, $3.5 million and $7.8 million, for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

(k)    Stock-based Compensation Plans

 

As permitted under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, the Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations in accounting for stock-based awards to employees. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options and restricted stock grants is measured as the excess, if any, of the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant over the exercise price. Warrants issued to non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method of accounting as prescribed by SFAS No. 123 and EITF Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.” Compensation costs are amortized in a manner consistent with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 28, “Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans.” The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value options and warrants granted to non-employees.

(l)     Foreign Currency Translation and Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is deemed to be the United States Dollar. Consequently, current assets and current liabilities recorded in foreign currencies are remeasured into United States Dollars at year-end exchange rates; non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at historical exchange rates; revenues and expenses are remeasured at average exchange rates during the year. The effects of foreign currency remeasurement adjustments and foreign currency transactions are included in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

On July 1, 2000, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended by SFAS No. 137, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”, and SFAS No. 138 “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities and requires that all derivatives be recognized as either assets or liabilities at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated and accounted for as (a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, (b) a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, or (c) a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation, an unrecognized firm commitment, an available-for-sale security or a foreign-currency-denominated forecasted transaction. If the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, depending on the nature of the exposure being hedged, changes in fair value will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged asset, liability or firm commitment through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Derivatives or portions of derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments are adjusted to fair value through earnings and are recognized in the period of change in their fair value.

 

The Company operates internationally and is exposed to potentially adverse movements in foreign currency rate changes. The Company has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce its exposure to foreign currency rate changes on receivables, payables and intercompany balances denominated in a nonfunctional currency. The objective of these contracts is to neutralize the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements on its operating results. The Company manages its foreign currency exchange rate risk by entering into contracts to sell or buy foreign currency to reduce its exposure to currency fluctuations involving probable anticipated and current foreign currency exposures. These contracts require the Company to exchange currencies at rates agreed upon at the inception of the contracts. These contracts reduce the exposure to fluctuations in exchange rate movements because the gains and losses associated with foreign currency balances and transactions are generally offset with the gains and losses of the foreign exchange forward contracts. Net foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) included in “Interest income and other income, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations totaled $(0.2) million, $1.0 million, and $(0.9) million for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. As of June 30, 2004, we have forward contracts that have a total notional amount of Euro 7.5 million at 1.21 Euro’s per U.S. Dollar and GBP 2.0 million at 1.80 GBP’s per U.S. Dollar that expire during the September 30, 2004 quarter.

 

(m)    Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary in order to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be recovered.

(n)    Comprehensive Loss

 

Comprehensive loss includes net loss, unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale securities, and foreign currency translation adjustments. Tax effects of comprehensive loss have not been material. The Company reported the components of comprehensive loss on its Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and Comprehensive Loss.

 

(o)    Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The carrying value of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, long term investments, restricted cash and investments, and accounts payable, approximates fair value due to their short-term nature of these financial instruments. The fair value of the Company’s 2 3/4% convertible subordinated notes was approximately $153.4 million at June 30, 2004, based on available market information. Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable investments, and trade accounts receivable.

 

Cash and cash equivalents, short and long term investments, and restricted cash and investments are held with large and established financial institutions. Accounts receivable is comprised of sales of products and services principally to leading communication service providers and prominent wireless device manufacturers. Credit risk is concentrated primarily in North America, Europe and Japan. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and, generally, requires no collateral from its customers. The Company maintains allowances for estimated credit losses based on management’s assessment of the likelihood of collection.

 

(p)    Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share are presented in conformity with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”, for all periods presented. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, basic net loss per share has been computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, less shares subject to repurchase.

(3)    Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Staff Position No. FAS 129-1, “Disclosure Requirements under FASB Statement No. 129, Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure, Relating to Contingently Convertible Securities.” The adoption of Staff Position No. FAS 129-1 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 03-01, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Applications to Certain Investments.” EITF Issue No. 03-01 includes new guidance on evaluating and recording impairment losses on debt and equity investments, as well as new disclosure requirements for investments that are considered to be temporarily impaired. The accounting guidance of EITF Issue No. 03-01 is effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004, while the disclosure requirements for debt and equity securities accounted for under SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2003. The Company believes that the adoption of EITF Issue No. 03-01 will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”, which supercedes SAB No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” SAB No. 104’s primary purpose is to rescind accounting guidance contained in SAB No. 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, superceded as a result of the issuance of EITF Issue No. 00-21. Additionally, SAB No. 104 rescinds the SEC’s Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements Frequently Asked Questions and Answers (“FAQ”) issued with SAB No. 101 that had been codified in SEC Topic 13, “Revenue Recognition.” Selected portions of the FAQ have been incorporated into SAB No. 104. While the wording of SAB No. 104 has changed to reflect the issuance of EITF 00-21, the revenue recognition principles of SAB No. 101 remain largely unchanged by the issuance of SAB No. 104. EITF 00-21 was effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. There was no impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements related to SAB No. 104 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004.

(4)     Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions

 

(a)    Business Combinations

 

The Company completed the following business combinations, which were accounted for as purchase acquisitions. The operating results of each acquired entity have been included in the consolidated statements of operations since the respective acquisition date.

 

On July 15, 2002, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of SignalSoft Corporation (“SignalSoft”) via a cash tender offer. Based in Boulder, Colorado, SignalSoft developed software applications for both commercial and emergency (E911) location-based services. SignalSoft offers mobile operators worldwide the software products and solutions needed to effectively implement location-based services. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and the acquired intangible assets were being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of up to three years or as the related revenue is recognized. The intangible assets were subsequently fully impaired during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, (see Note 11).

 

On May 28, 2002, the Company acquired Java download technology, key employees and access to customers from a Sweden-based company, Ellipsus Systems, Inc. (“Ellipsus”), a telecommunications infrastructure software developer. The acquired technology allows operators to efficiently deploy and realize immediate value from new data services for the mobile user. These new data services include applications like games and multimedia content such as ring tones and images. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase acquisition, and the acquired intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of three years. In addition, the Company recorded additional costs of $723,000 on the acquisition during the year-ended June 30, 2003 that were related to final payments to stockholders of the Company.

 

On July 13, 2001, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Avogadro, Inc. (“Avogadro”), a telecommunications infrastructure software developer. Based in Seattle, Washington, Avogadro developed an instant messaging product to provide communication service providers the ability to deliver the next generation communications services in a multi-device environment. The Company expects to deliver an open, standards-based approach to communications, bringing together the best possible mobile messaging experience with an operator-grade server infrastructure. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and the intangible assets are being amortized over a period of up to three years.

 

For each acquisition, the Company determined the allocation between developed and in-process research and development. This allocation was based on whether technological feasibility has been achieved and whether there is an alternative future use for the technology. SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed”, sets guidelines for establishing technological feasibility. Technological feasibility is determined when a product reaches the “working model” stage, which is generally when a product is classified as a beta version release. As of the respective date of the acquisition of SignalSoft discussed above, the Company concluded that the purchased in-process research and development had no alternative future use and expensed it according to the provisions of FIN No. 4, “Applicability of SFAS No. 2 to Business Combinations Accounted for by the Purchase Method.”

The options assumed in the Avogadro acquisition were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected life of 2 years; 0% dividend yield; 129% volatility and risk-free interest rate of 5.5%.

 

(b)    Asset Acquisitions

 

On October 4, 2002, the Company acquired infrastructure software technology from Personity, Inc. (Personity), based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Personity is a wireless messaging software firm. Personity’s technology enables users to control how they are reached and by whom. Users create their own chat rooms and view the availability of fellow users to determine who can be contacted and by what means: email, phone or wireless phone. The acquired intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of three years.

 

On October 15, 2001, the Company acquired software code containing a graphics engine and related intellectual property from AlphaMask, Inc., a North Carolina-based corporation. The acquired intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of three years.

(b)    Strategic investments

 

The Company classifies its investments in non-marketable equity securities within deposits and other assets. In accordance with APB No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock”, the Company accounts for its investments in non-marketable equity securities under the cost method. The following table presents a roll-forward of the investments in non-marketable equity securities (in thousands):

During fiscal year 2003, approximately $1.9 million of the additions to the strategic investments were acquired as part of the Company’s acquisition of SignalSoft. The Company regularly performs an impairment assessment of its strategic equity investments. In performing an impairment assessment, the Company considers the following factors, among others, in connection with the businesses in which investments have been made: the implicit valuation of the business indicated by recently completed financing or similar transactions, the business’ current solvency and its access to future capital. As a result of these impairment analysis, the Company determined that three and four investments, aggregating $5.3 million and $5.6 million, in privately-held companies incurred a decline in value that was considered other-than-temporary during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These impairment charges are recorded within impairment of non-marketable equity securities in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company had deferred revenue of $62.0 million and $73.8 million, respectively, consisting of deferred license fees, new version coverage and maintenance and support fees, and professional services fees. Deferred revenue results from amounts billed:

 

    prior to acceptance of product or service;

 

    for new version coverage and maintenance and support elements prior to the time service is delivered;

    for subscriber licenses committed greater than subscriber activated for arrangements being recognized on an subscriber activation basis; and

 

    for license arrangements amortized over a specified future period due to the provision of unspecified future products.

 

Amounts in accounts receivable that have offsetting balances in deferred revenue aggregated approximately $28.9 million and $33.0 million at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

(7)    Convertible subordinated notes

 

On September 9, 2003, the Company issued $150.0 million of 2 3/4% convertible subordinated notes (the “Notes”), due September 9, 2008. The Notes are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet net of a discount of $4.1 million, which is being amortized over the term of the Notes using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest rate method. Approximately $667,000 of the discount has been amortized during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. The notes are subordinated to all existing and future senior debt and are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $18.396 per share, which is equates to approximately 8.2 million shares in aggregate. The Company may redeem some or all of the Notes for cash at any time on or after September 9, 2006 if the price of the Company’s common stock exceeds a specified threshold. In addition, the Company has the right to voluntarily reduce the conversion price for certain specified periods. Each holder may require the Company to purchase all or portion of such holder’s notes upon occurrence of specified change in control events. The Company incurred $900,000 of costs in connection with the issuance of the Notes, which were deferred and included in deposit and other assets. The finance costs are being recognized as interest expense over the term of the notes using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest rate method. During the current fiscal year, the Company amortized approximately $146,000 of debt issuance costs. Interest on the Notes began accruing in September 2003 and is payable semi-annually on March 9 and September 9. The Company used approximately $12.1 million of the net proceeds to purchase a portfolio of U.S. government securities that has been pledged to secure the payment of the first six scheduled semi-annual interest payments on the Notes. The Notes are otherwise unsecured obligations. At June 30, 2004, the balance of the pledged securities was $10.1 million and was recorded as restricted cash and investments within the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2004, (see Note 6(a)).

 

(8)    Commitments and Contingencies

 

(a)    Leases

 

In March 2000, the Company entered into a facility lease for approximately 280,000 square feet of office space in Redwood City, California. Lease terms that commenced in April 2001 require a base rent of $3.25 per square foot per month as provided by the lease agreement which will increase by 3.5% annually on the anniversary of the initial month of the commencement of the lease. The lease is for a period of 12 years from the commencement date of the lease. The agreement originally required that the Company provide a letter of credit in the amount 125% of the security obligation, $16.5 million. The Company had pledged approximately $20.7 million of cash equivalents and investments to be held in trust as security as of June 30, 2003. During fiscal year 2004, the Company renegotiated the security obligation requirements on the facility lease to remove the stipulation that cash equal 125% of the letter of

credit be restricted and replaced it with a stipulation that only cash equal to 100% of the letter of credit be restricted with the condition that the collateral need to be invested in certificates of deposits. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had approximately $16.5 million of certificate of deposits classified as restricted cash and investments. Furthermore, the Company has guaranteed additional letters of credit and pledged approximately $0.8 million and $1.6 million as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, for additional facility leases outside Redwood City, California. The restricted cash and investments held in trust under these agreements are earning approximately 1.9% as of June 30, 2004, and the resulting income earned is not subject to any restrictions.

 

The Company also has numerous facility operating leases at other locations in the United States and other locations throughout the world. Future minimum lease payments under all non-cancelable operating leases with terms in excess of one year and future sublease income were as follows at June 30, 2004 (in thousands):

Future net lease commitments includes $49.1 million of accrued restructuring-related lease obligations (See Note 10)

 

(b)    Litigation

 

IPO securities class action.    On November 5, 2001, a purported securities fraud class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In re Openwave Systems, Inc. (sic) Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, Civ. No. 01-9744 (SAS) (S.D.N.Y.), related to In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 21 MC 92 (SAS) (S.D.N.Y.). It is brought purportedly on behalf of all persons who purchased the Company’s common stock from June 11, 1999 through December 6, 2000. The defendants are the Company and five of the Company’s present or former officers (the “Openwave Defendants”), and several investment banking firms that served as underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering and secondary public offering. Three of the individual defendants were dismissed without prejudice, subject to an agreement extending the statute of limitations. The complaint alleges liability as under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, on the grounds that the registration statement for the offerings did not disclose that: (1) the underwriters had agreed to allow certain customers to purchase shares in the offerings in exchange for excess commissions paid to the underwriters; and (2) the underwriters had arranged for certain customers to purchase additional shares in the aftermarket at predetermined prices. The amended complaint also alleges that false analyst

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

reports were issued. No specific damages are claimed. Similar allegations were made in over 300 lawsuits challenging public offerings conducted in 1999 and 2000, and the cases were consolidated for pretrial purposes.

 

The Company has accepted a settlement proposal presented to all issuer defendants. Plaintiffs will dismiss and release all claims against the Openwave Defendants, in exchange for a contingent payment by the insurance companies responsible for insuring the issuers, and for the assignment or surrender of control of certain claims the Company may have against the underwriters. The Openwave Defendants will not be required to make any cash payment in the settlement, unless the pro rata amount paid by the insurers in the settlement exceeds the amount of insurance coverage, a circumstance which the Company does not believe will occur. The settlement will require approval of the Court, which cannot be assured, after class members are given the opportunity to object to the settlement or opt out of the settlement. No amount is accrued as of June 30, 2004, as a loss is not considered probable and estimable.

 

Commercial Dispute.    One of the Company’s resellers, Intrado Inc., commenced arbitration proceedings against the Company on August 11, 2003 alleging breach of contract in connection with the performance of certain software and services. The demand for arbitration did not include a specific demand for damages. The Company asserted arbitration counterclaims alleging that Intrado used the Company’s technology to develop a competing service. In August 2004, the Company entered into a confidential settlement agreement with Intrado, which had no material impact on the results of the Company’s reported result of operations. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had accrued for the settlement of the litigation in the accrued liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

(9)    Stockholders’ Equity

 

(a)    Reverse Stock Split

 

The Company filed a certificate of amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect a 1 for 3 reverse split of its common stock, effective on October 21, 2003. On the effective date, each three shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock automatically converted into one share of common stock. All share and per share amounts have been restated for all periods presented to reflect this reverse stock split.

 

(b)    Tender Offers

 

On April 29, 2003, the Company commenced a voluntary stock option exchange program available to certain employees. Only employees who had received options to purchase 10,000 shares or more of common stock granted on or after September 13, 2002 were eligible to participate. All of these employees had been excluded from the March 13, 2003 stock exchange program pursuant to its terms (see discussion of the March 13, 2003 plan below). The following employees were also not eligible: the Company’s CEO, and vice-president level employees or higher who had executed

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

a severance agreement or a transition agreement and had been notified that their jobs would be eliminated. Non-employee members of the Board of Directors were also not eligible to participate. Under the program, eligible employees had the opportunity to surrender previously granted outstanding stock options in exchange for an equal or lesser number of replacement options to be granted at a future date no sooner than December 5, 2003. Options to acquire a total of 2.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock were eligible to be exchanged under the program. As a result of this April 29, 2003 stock option exchange program, options to acquire approximately 521,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were accepted for exchange, and the Company was obligated to grant replacement options to acquire a maximum of approximately 155,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. On December 5, 2003, the Company granted the replacement options to acquire approximately 155,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The exercise price of the replacement options was $11.62 per share, which was equal to the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

 

On February 17, 2003, the Company announced a voluntary stock option exchange program that commenced March 13, 2003 for certain employees. The following employees were not eligible: the Company’s CEO, vice-president level employees or higher who had executed a severance agreement or a transition agreement and had been notified that their jobs would be eliminated, employees based in Switzerland and employees who received 10,000 or more options on or after September 13, 2002. Non-employee members of the Board of Directors were not eligible to participate. Under the program, eligible employees had the opportunity to surrender previously granted outstanding stock options in exchange for an equal or lesser number of replacement options to be granted at a future date to be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors which was required by the terms of the exchange to be on or between October 25 and November 24, 2003. Options to acquire a total of 12.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock were eligible to be exchanged under the program and 7.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock were accepted for exchange. On October 27, 2003, the Company granted the replacement options to acquire approximately 3.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The exercise price of the replacement options was $12.66 per share, which was equal to the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

 

On August 2, 2001, the Company announced a voluntary stock option exchange program for its employees, except for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and employees located in Australia. Members of the Company’s Board of Directors and consultants holding options also were ineligible to participate. Under the program, Company employees had the opportunity to surrender previously granted outstanding stock options in exchange for an equal or lesser number of replacement options to be granted. Options to acquire a total of 11,944,103 shares of the Company’s common stock with exercise prices ranging from $489.39 to $0.03 were eligible to be exchanged under the program. On April 9, 2002, the Company granted the replacement options to acquire 4,909,601 shares of the Company’s common stock. The exercise price of the replacement options of $16.17 (except for grants made to employees in Italy where the exercise price was marginally higher) was equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on April 9, 2002, which was the date of grant determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

 

The exchange programs are designed to comply with FIN No. 44 “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation,” and the Company did not incur any compensation charges as a result of these stock option exchange programs.

(c)    Stockholder Rights Agreement

 

On August 8, 2000, the Company entered into a rights agreement that entitles each holder of the Company’s common stock to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a price of $500 per one one-thousandth of a share, subject to adjustment. Ten business days after a person or group of affiliated or associated persons acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company common stock, other than as a result of repurchases of stock by the Company or certain inadvertent actions by institutional or certain other stockholders, and except pursuant to an offer for all outstanding shares of the Company common stock which the independent directors of the Company determine to be fair and in the best interests of the Company, each holder of a right to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock will thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise of the right, shares of the Company common stock having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the right.

 

At any time until the tenth business day after a person or group of affiliated or associated persons acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company common stock, the Company may redeem the rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.001 per right. This rights agreement will terminate on August 18, 2008, unless such date is extended or the rights are redeemed by the Company prior to such date.

 

This rights agreement may have certain anti-takeover effects. The rights will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire the Company in a manner which causes the rights to become discount rights unless the offer is conditional upon a substantial number of rights being acquired.

Stock Plan) (collectively the “1995 and 1996 Stock Plans”) to directors, employees and consultants. The 1995 and 1996 Stock Plans provide for the issuance of stock purchase rights, incentive stock options, or nonstatutory stock options.

 

The 1995 Stock Plan provides for an automatic annual increase on the first day of the Company’s fiscal year equal to the lesser of 2,684,167 shares or 4% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on such date through life of the plan. The 1995 Stock Plan expires on July 1, 2005. The 1996 Stock Plan provides for an automatic annual increase on the first day of the Company’s fiscal year equal to the lesser of 1,000,000 shares or 4% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year through the life of the plan. The 1996 Stock Plan expires on July 1, 2006. As of June 30, 2004, a total of 4,432,571 shares were available for grant under the 1995 and 1996 Stock Plans.

 

Under the 1995 and 1996 Stock Plans, the exercise price for incentive stock options is at least 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant for employees owning less than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock, and at least 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant for employees owning more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock. For non-statutory options granted under the 1995 and 1996 Stock Plans, the exercise price is determined by the Board of Directors except that in the case of a non-statutory option intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.

 

Under the 1995 and 1996 Stock Plans, options generally expire ten years from the date of grant; however, the term of incentive stock options may be limited to five years if the optionee owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock. Vesting periods are determined by the Board of Directors and generally provide for shares to vest over a period of four years at 25% per year.

 

In March 1999, the Company adopted the Openwave Systems Inc. 1999 Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “Directors’ Stock Plan”) which provides for the grant of non-statutory stock options to non-employee directors (“Outside Directors”). Under the Directors’ Stock Plan, a total of 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance. Each Outside Director who becomes a member of the Board of Directors will initially be granted an option to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and thereafter an option to purchase an additional 12,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on the first Board of Directors meeting date of each calendar year that begins at least six months following the grant of the initial option. Initial options granted to a new Outside Directors vest over a period of four years with 25% of the shares vesting one year from the date of grant and the remainder vesting monthly over the next three years. Options granted subsequent to the initial option grant to existing Outside Directors vest monthly over a period of four years. The exercise price of options granted under the Directors’ Stock Plan is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Under the Directors’ Stock Plan, options have a term of ten years. As of June 30, 2004, there were 261,336 shares available for grant under the Directors’ Stock Plan.

 

In June 2001, the Company adopted the Openwave Systems Inc. 2001 Stock Compensation Plan (the “2001 Stock Plan”). The 2001 Stock Plan provides for the issuance of nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock bonus awards and restricted stock purchase awards to directors, employees and consultants of the Company. The 2001 Stock Plan serves as the successor to certain plans of the Company and plans acquired by the Company including the Phone.com, Inc. 2000

In May 1999, Software.com adopted the 1999 Software.com, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Software Purchase Plan”). A total of 536,833 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance under the Software Purchase Plan. Per the terms of the merger agreement with Phone.com, the last purchase under the Software Purchase Plan concluded on April 30, 2001.

 

In April 2002, the Software Purchase Plan was merged into the Openwave Purchase Plan. Effective upon the merger of the two plans, 508,059 shares that were reserved and unissued under the Software Purchase Plan became available for issuance under the Openwave Purchase Plan.

 

The Openwave Purchase Plan provides for an automatic annual increase on the first day of the Company’s fiscal years beginning in 2000 through 2004 equal to the lesser of 601,750 shares or 1% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year. On the first day of fiscal years 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, the Openwave Purchase Plan provides for an automatic annual increase equal to the lesser of 268,417 shares or 1% of the shares outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year. A total of 2,773,425 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the Openwave Purchase Plan.

 

The Openwave Purchase Plan is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code and contains four six-month purchase periods within twenty-four month offering periods. Eligible employees may purchase common stock through payroll deductions of up to 20% of compensation. The price of common stock purchased under the Openwave Purchase Plan is the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the beginning of the offering period and the end of each purchase period.

 

In October 2002, the Openwave Purchase Plan was suspended. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 employees purchased 664,672 shares of common stock at an average price of $2.78 per share under the Openwave Purchase Plan prior to the suspension of the Openwave Purchase Plan. As of June 30, 2004, 864,635 shares remained available for future issuance under the Openwave Purchase Plan.

other employees of the Company. The Company recorded $2,362,000 of deferred stock-based compensation on the date of grant related to the issuance of restricted shares. The restricted grants vest over a period from one to three years from the date of grant through January 2007. In addition, on October 20, 2003 and January 28, 2004, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors granted to the Company’s CEO a total of 41,666 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. The restricted shares vest in equal monthly installments through January 2007. The Company recorded deferred stock based compensation related to the restricted stock grants for the Company’s CEO of approximately $610,000.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2003, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company granted approximately 325,333 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock to certain executive officers and other employees of the Company. The Company recorded $925,000 of deferred stock-based compensation on the date of grant related to the issuance of restricted shares. The restricted grants vest over a period from one to two years from the date of grant through April 2005. In addition, on December 20, 2002, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors granted to the CEO 166,667 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Company uses the intrinsic value method in accounting for its employee stock-based compensation plans. The Company had deferred stock-based compensation of $2.0 million and $2.2 million at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company recorded $3.2 million, $3.7 million and $14.9 million of amortization of deferred stock compensation for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

 

(j)    Stock Repurchase Program

 

During the year ended June 30, 2002, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a stock repurchase program of up to 1.67 million shares of common stock. Any purchases under the stock repurchase program were authorized to be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or through the use of derivative securities. In accordance with the program, the Company repurchased approximately 233,333 shares at a weighted average of $25.20 on the open market and sold approximately 1.17 million put options that entitled the holder of each option to sell to the Company, for cash, by physical delivery or net share settlement at the Company’s election, one share of common stock at a specified price. The cumulative net proceeds to the Company from the sale of these put options were recorded as additional paid-in capital at the fair value of $10.5 million, under EITF No. 00-19. Of the 1.17 million put options sold: 333,333 options were exercised, and the Company acquired the shares as treasury stock for $12.8 million; 333,334 of the put options were called by the holder of the options as a result of the closing price falling below the contractual minimum, and the Company chose to settle the options by paying $6.6 million and recorded a decrease in additional paid-in capital under EITF No. 00-19; prior to the stock dropping below the minimum price, the remaining 500,000 put options were renegotiated to permit physical settlement of the put options upon an early termination event, and the Company bought 500,000 shares for $19.4 million and recorded the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

settlement of the put options as treasury stock. Thus, for the year ended June 30, 2002, the Company repurchased a total of approximately 1.07 million shares under the stock repurchase program at a weighted-average price of $35.70 and recorded net proceeds from put options of $3.9 million, for the overall program to date. Management’s authority to purchase any additional shares under the Company’s stock repurchase program has expired. During the year ended June 30, 2003, the Company cancelled and retired the treasury shares.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

sublease income after the properties were abandoned, lease buyout costs and restoration costs associated with certain lease arrangements. To determine the lease loss portion of the closure and downsizing costs, certain estimates were made related to: (1) the time period over which the relevant building would remain vacant, (2) sublease terms and (3) sublease rates, including common area charges. The lease loss is an estimate and represents the low end of the range and will be adjusted in the future upon triggering events (such as changes in estimates of time to sublease and actual sublease rates). Since June 30, 2001, 18 sites had been vacated and 8 sites have been selected for downsizing. In addition to the lease contracts accruals, facility’s costs include the impairment of leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures on the vacated facilities or planned vacated facilities, and accordingly are re classed against property and equipment.

 

Severance

 

Severance and employment-related charges consist primarily of severance, health benefits, other termination costs and legal costs as a result of the termination approximately 400, 480, and 200 employees during the FY2002, FY 2003 Q1, and FY 2003 Q4 Restructuring plans, respectively.

 

Other

 

Other charges consist of fees resulting from the impairment of certain acquired software as a result of the related restructuring, termination costs of certain software license arrangements and other fees.

 

Restructuring Plans

 

The FY2003 Q4 Restructuring was announced during the three months ended June 30, 2003 and included further reductions in operating expenses in order to better align our overall costs structure with current revenues. These reductions included a decrease in the Company’s workforce of approximately 200 employees. The majority of these reductions were completed by December 31, 2003. In connection with the implementation of the restructuring plan, during the year ended June 30, 2004, the Company incurred an additional $0.5 million in facilities, $0.9 million in severance and $0.8 million in fixed asset impairment charges to bring the total restructuring cost to approximately $10.8 million. The restructuring charges included facility costs of $1.3 million, equipment costs of $2.9 million, severance and employment related charges of $6.5 million and other restructuring related costs of $0.1 million. Of the $0.8 million remaining restructuring accrual at June 30, 2004 we expect to pay $0.5 million through June 30, 2005 and $0.3 million during the three years ending June 30, 2008.

 

The FY2003 Q1 Restructuring was announced during the three months ended September 30, 2002 and included the consolidation of products within three core product groups: application software and services, infrastructure software and services, and client software and services. This restructuring plan resulted in a decrease in the Company’s workforce of approximately 480 employees as of June 30, 2003. In connection with the implementation of this restructuring plan, the Company incurred additional facility charges of $0.6 million that was offset by a decrease of $0.6 million in severance as a result of changes in certain estimates during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 to bring the total restructuring cost to approximately $82.2 million. The restructuring costs included facility costs of $52.1 million, fixed asset impairments of $12.2 million, severance and employment related charges of $17.6 million and other restructuring related costs of $0.3 million. Of the remaining $42.6 million accrual at June 30, 2004 we expect to pay $6.6 million through June 30, 2005 and $36.0 million from July 2005 through April 2013.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

The FY 2002 Restructuring was announced during the three months ended December 30, 2001 as a result of the Company’s desire to improve its cost structure and profitability. This restructuring plan resulted in a decrease in the Company’s workforce by approximately 400 employees. In connection with the implementation of the restructuring plan, during fiscal year 2004, the Company incurred an additional $0.8 million in charges primarily as a result of changes in the estimates of sublease income to bring the total restructuring costs to $38.8 million. Other related costs totaled $1.9 million which were primarily associated with the accelerated depreciation charges related to the planned closing of certain facilities under the restructuring plan. The restructuring costs included facility costs of $20.3 million, fixed asset impairments of $5.4 million, severance and employment-related charges of $10.3 million and other restructuring-related charges of $2.8 million. Of the remaining $5.9 million accrual as of June 30, 2004, we expect to pay $3.5 million through June 30, 2005 and $2.4 million through various dates to November 2012.

(11)    Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 there were no impairments of goodwill or intangible assets.

 

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, the Company completed an acquisition of a business, SignalSoft, for $63.9 million. At September 30, 2002, the Company had $7.3 million of goodwill recorded on the acquisition. The goodwill was adjusted by an additional $758,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2002 to reflect finalization of the purchase price allocation. The significant decrease in the Company’s market capitalization through September 30, 2002, as well as its announcement during the quarter of a restructuring, triggered the requirement for an impairment analysis of the Company’s goodwill and long-lived assets under SFAS No. 142 and 144. Upon completion of the recoverability test under SFAS No. 144, the Company determined that none of its long-lived assets have been impaired. The Company concluded that it is a single reporting unit under SFAS No. 142, and the fair value of the reporting unit is approximated by market capitalization. Considering the significant decrease in the Company’s market capitalization from the date of the acquisition of SignalSoft, all remaining SignalSoft goodwill as of September 30, 2002 was fully impaired. As the adjustments to the SignalSoft goodwill during the three months ended December 31, 2002 related to the finalization of the purchase price allocation, the goodwill related to the adjustments was fully impaired during the three months ended December 31, 2002. The impairment of the goodwill resulted in impairment charges of $8.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2003 under “Amortization and impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. For further information regarding SignalSoft acquisition, see to Note 4(a).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142 and SFAS No. 144 in July 2002, the Company recognized a transitional goodwill impairment loss of $14.5 million, which was recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 and prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company performed two separate impairment analyses as a result of changes within the telecommunications industry that led to reductions in its forecasted growth. The triggering events for the quarters ended December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2002 include the restructuring plan that was announced during the quarter ended December 31, 2001 and the significant decrease in the Company’s market capitalization during the quarter ended June 30, 2002. For the December 31, 2001 impairment analysis, assets were grouped at the product level, which was the lowest level for which there were identifiable cash flows. For the June 30, 2002 analysis, to the extent that cash flows were not identifiable at the product level, the Company assessed impairment at the enterprise level. If the sum of the expected future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition was less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company recorded an impairment loss measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeded the fair value. The fair value was based upon the present value of the estimated expected future cash flows using a discount rate of 26.3% during the quarter ended December 31, 2001 and 22.6% during the quarter ended June 30, 2002. The assumptions supporting the estimated cash flows, including the discount rate and an estimated terminal value, reflect the Company’s best estimates. The discount rate was based upon the average of the long-term and short-term cost of capital using the risk-free rate, the expected return on the market portfolio and our risk-based rate. In addition, where all of the assets related to a specific acquisition had been abandoned, the goodwill and intangible asset balances relating to that acquisition were recorded as an impairment loss in accordance with APB Opinion No. 17, “Intangible Assets.”

 

As a result of the impairment analyses, we recorded a $618.3 million impairment charge during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 within amortization and impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The $17.4 million of goodwill and intangible assets remaining on our balance sheet at June 30, 2002 consisted of goodwill and intangible assets related to the Ellipsus acquisition. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142 as of July 1, 2002, $14.5 million of goodwill related to the Ellipsus acquisition was recorded as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

   $ 2,490     $ 715  
    


 


 

The Company’s net deferred tax asset as of June 30, 2004 of approximately $2.5 million represented foreign temporary differences between book and tax income of which $470,000 was included in prepaid and other current assets and $2.0 million was included in deposits and other assets as of June 30, 2004 on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

In light of the Company’s recent history of operating losses, the Company recorded a valuation allowance for substantially all of its federal and state deferred tax assets, as the Company is presently unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that federal and state deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company recorded deferred tax assets of approximately $2.5 million with respect to subsidiaries in Japan and the U.K. based upon the Company’s conclusion that it is more likely than not that the subsidiaries will earn future taxable profits enabling the realization of their respective deferred tax assets, given historical taxable income in those locations.

 

Approximately $241.1 million of the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets relating to net operating loss carry-forwards was attributable to employee stock option deductions, the benefit from which will be allocated to additional paid-in capital rather than current earnings when and if subsequently realized. The benefit from approximately $7.6 million of the total $38.6 million valuation allowance for deferred tax assets related to research and development credit carry-forwards will be allocated to additional paid-in capital rather than current earnings when and if subsequently realized.

 

As of June 30, 2004, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $1.1 billion and $404.7 million, respectively. In addition, the Company has gross federal and California research and development credit carry-forwards of approximately $24.7 million and $21.1 million, respectively. The federal net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credit carryforwards will expire from 2011 through 2023. The California research and development credits may be carried forward indefinitely. The California net operating loss carryforwards will expire from 2005 through 2013.

Acquisition of Magic4

 

On July 30, 2004, the Company consummated the acquisition Magic4 Limited (“Magic4”), a private company incorporated in the United Kingdom, acquiring the entire issued share capital of Magic4 from the existing Magic4 shareholders. As a result of the transaction, Magic4 became a wholly owned subsidiary of Openwave. Magic4 is a leading provider of messaging software for mass-market mobile phones. With the acquisition of Magic4, the Company has strengthened its position as an open standards-based software provider for data phone manufacturers. This acquisition serves to deepen the Company’s relevance on the mobile phones while enabling manufacturers to deliver an intuitive user experience as operator service requirements evolve. The purchase price consisted of 2,271,446 shares of Openwave’s common stock, valued at $9.38 per share using the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the two days before and after the announcement date of the acquisition, cash in the amount of $54.2 million and loan notes with an aggregate face value of $3.8 million. The loan notes are payable on demand after 6 months, but no later than August 31, 2005 and bear interest at a rate of 1.5% per annum.
