The accompanying notes are an integral part of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors recently completed an investigation focused on our revenue recognition practices related to transactions with certain distributors and resellers, principally those of our United Kingdom subsidiary, Embarcadero Europe Ltd. (“Embarcadero Europe”). Upon completion of this investigation, we concluded that it was necessary to restate certain financial data to properly reflect sales to certain international distributors and resellers on a sell-through basis, which is consistent with our revenue recognition policy, for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2004. The financial statements presented in this report give effect to such restatement.

Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. (with its subsidiaries, collectively referred to as “Embarcadero” or “the Company”) was incorporated in California on July 23, 1993, and reincorporated in Delaware on February 15, 2000. The Company provides software products that enable organizations to effectively manage their database infrastructure and manage the underlying data housed within that infrastructure. The Company is headquartered in San Francisco, California and has international operations in Maidenhead, United Kingdom; Toronto, Canada; and Melbourne, Australia.

The Company markets its software and related maintenance services directly through telesales and field sales organizations in North America, the United Kingdom and Australia, and indirectly through original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and independent distributors and resellers worldwide.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which, in the opinion of the Company, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are normal recurring adjustments. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles related to interim financial statements and the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The balance sheet at December 31, 2003 was derived from the audited financial statements, but it does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

The financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the presumption that users of the interim financial information have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, filed on March 12, 2004.

Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2004, or for any future period. Further, the preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded amounts reported therein. A change in facts or circumstances surrounding the estimates could result in a change to the estimates and impact future operating results.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Embarcadero Europe Ltd., Embarcadero Canada Ltd. and Embarcadero Australia Ltd. The Company has eliminated all inter-company accounts and transactions.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) 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 financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. The Company’s cash and other cash equivalents at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 consisted of deposits in banks, money market funds and short-term securities.

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions and invests in highly rated short-term securities.

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. The allowance was $81,000 at September 30, 2004. The amount of our allowance is based on historical experience and an analysis of the current accounts receivable. Credit losses to date have been within management’s expectations. However, actual results could differ from such estimates. As of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 there were no customer balances in excess of 10% of aggregate accounts receivable.

Property and equipments are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally ranging from three to five years. Depreciation commences upon placing the asset in service. Capital leases are recorded at the lesser of the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease or the present value of the minimum lease payments as of the beginning of the lease term. Leased assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term. The Company reviews its property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or that the useful lives of the assets are no longer appropriate. Factors considered important which could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results and significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the Company’s overall business. When the Company determines that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, then it measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate commensurate with the risk inherent in the Company’s current business model.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combination. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) approved the issuance of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 provides guidance on how to account for goodwill and

certain intangible assets after an acquisition is completed. The most substantive change is that goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets can no longer be amortized but instead should be periodically tested for impairment. Embarcadero adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002 and has ceased amortization of goodwill and will evaluate it for impairment in accordance with its policies.

The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from software license fees and related maintenance and support contracts. Revenues from software license fees are recognized upon shipment, when terms of the contracts are Freight on Board (F.O.B.) shipping point, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. Maintenance and support contracts generally cover a one-year term and are paid for in advance. Revenues from maintenance and support contracts are recognized ratably over the term of the contract. License revenues include the nominal shipping and handling charges associated with most of the license orders. The actual shipping costs that we incur are included in the cost of revenues.

The Company uses purchase orders, signed contracts and pre-payments via check, wire or credit card as persuasive evidence for substantiation of an arrangement. For arrangements with multiple obligations (e.g., undelivered maintenance and support contracts and consulting and training services bundled with licenses), the Company allocates revenues to the delivered elements of the arrangement using the residual value method based on the vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) for the undelivered items. The VSOE for post contract services (PCS) is determined based upon prices paid by the customers for the separate renewal or sale of such services. If the Company cannot determine the VSOE for PCS, then the entire arrangement fee is recognized ratably over the contractual PCS period (explicit rights to PCS) or the period during which PCS is expected to be provided (implicit rights to PCS).

The Company typically grants its customers net 30 payment terms, but some payments are collected in advance via check, wire or credit card upon receipt of an order.

Products may be sold through distributors or resellers in the United States and certain international markets. Revenues from software license fees sold through distributors or resellers are recognized on the sell-through basis. Maintenance revenue sold through distributors and resellers is recognized ratably over the contractual PCS period. Distributors and resellers purchase products to fulfill specific customer orders and generally do not hold inventory of our products. The Company also enters into arrangements with OEMs that provide for license fees based on inclusion of the Company’s products in their products. These arrangements often provide for non-refundable and upfront minimum royalty payments which are recognized as revenue either immediately or on a sell-through basis when due, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met. The OEM arrangements usually include maintenance and support contracts. The Company allocates revenues to the delivered elements of the arrangements using the residual value method based on the VSOE for undelivered items.

The Company sells its software and related maintenance services directly through our telesales and field sales organizations in North America, the United Kingdom and Australia and indirectly through our distribution partners worldwide.

The Company does not have a return or refund policy and its practice is to enforce the terms of the contracts and not allow its customers to return their software products, and as such past sales returns have not been material. However, the Company has allowed a small number of its customers to return their software products, and therefore has recorded a reserve of $25,000 as of September 30, 2004.

The functional currencies of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are their respective local currencies. The Company translates the assets and liabilities of international subsidiaries into the U.S. Dollar at the current rates of exchange in effect during each period. Revenues and expenses are translated using rates that approximate the average of those in effect during the period. Gains and losses from translation adjustments are included in stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheet caption “Accumulated other comprehensive income”.

Deferred revenue represents amounts received from customers under certain maintenance and service contracts for which the revenue earnings process has not been completed. The revenue will be recognized ratably over the life of the contract or when the service is rendered.

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ( SFAS ) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce tax assets to an amount for which realization is more likely than not. There are certain charges that are not deductible for tax purposes. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $4.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2004, and a significant portion of this amount may not be deductible for tax purposes in the current year. Thus, the statutory income tax rate used for determination of tax liability will likely differ from the effective income tax rate used for the calculation of income tax provision for financial reporting purposes.

The Company has adopted stock-based compensation plans that provide for the grant of options and restricted stock to employees and directors of the Company. All options granted under these plans typically vest over terms of three to four years. The restricted stock is subject to transfer restrictions that lapse over time, typically one to two years.

The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations, which generally requires that the amount of compensation cost that must be recognized, if any, is the quoted market price of the stock at the measurement date, which is generally the grant date, less the amount the grantee is required to pay to acquire the stock.

Alternatively, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, employs fair value-based measurement and generally results in the recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards to employees. SFAS No. 123 does not require an entity to adopt those provisions, but rather, permits continued application of APB Opinion No. 25. The Company has elected not to adopt the recognition and measurement provisions of SFAS No. 123 and continues to account for its stock-based employee compensation plans under APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, deferred compensation is generally recorded for stock-based employee compensation grants based on the excess of the market value of the common stock on the measurement date over the exercise price. The deferred compensation is amortized to expense over the vesting period of each unit of stock-based employee compensation granted. If the exercise price of the stock-based compensation is equal to or exceeds the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recorded.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company issued restricted stock grants with an associated deferred compensation expense of $918,000 and $3.7 million, respectively. The deferred compensation expense will be amortized to expense over the period that the transfer restrictions are in effect. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company recorded compensation expense related to restricted stock grants of $732,000 and $1.4 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company did not record any compensation expense related to restricted stock grants.

The compensation expense recorded for restricted stock grants under the intrinsic value method is consistent with the expense that would be recorded under the fair value-based method. Had the compensation cost for the Company’s employee stock option grants been determined based on the grant date fair values of awards estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is consistent with the method described in SFAS No. 123, the

Company’s reported net income and net income per share would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts (in thousands, except per share amounts):

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the fair value method with the following weighted average assumptions:

In connection with the financial restatement discussed in Note 12 below, and as a result of the delayed filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, the Company suspended all exercises of stock options under each of its equity compensation plans from November 16, 2004 through the filing date of this report. This suspension was required because the Company’s periodic reports are incorporated by reference into the registration statements for the securities issuable under each such equity compensation plan. The Company has extended the exercisability of all options that would otherwise have terminated during that period for a period of time equal to that during which the options were not exercisable due to the suspension. Accordingly, the Company will record a stock-based compensation charge in the quarter ending December 31, 2004 to record the intrinsic benefit received by the optionees for the extension of time to exercise their options

redeemable on fixed dates for amounts that either are fixed or are determined by reference to an interest rate index, currency index or another external index by one year, so that, for those instruments, the provisions of SFAS No. 150 are effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2004, and for all other financial instruments that are mandatorily redeemable, the classification, measurement and disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 150 are deferred indefinitely, pending further FASB action. The FASB, at this time, is reconsidering the implementation issues, as well as, perhaps, classification or measurement guidance for those non-controlling interests during the deferral period. To date, the effective provisions of SFAS No. 150 did not have an impact on the financial position or the results of operations of the Company. Although the effective date of certain elements of SFAS No. 150 has been deferred, the adoption of SFAS No. 150, once finalized, is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial position or the results of operations since the Company does not currently have any financial instrument that has been impacted by the standard.

In March 2004, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 03-01 (EITF 03-01), The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, which provides new guidance for assessing impairment losses on investments. Additionally, EITF 03-01 includes new disclosure requirements for investments that are deemed to be temporarily impaired. In September 2004, the FASB delayed the accounting provisions of EITF 03-01; however, the disclosure requirements remain effective for annual periods ending after June 15, 2004. The Company will evaluate the impact of EITF 03-01 once the final guidance is issued.

In October, 2004, the President signed the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”). The Act creates a temporary incentive for U.S corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85 percent dividends received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign corporations. The deduction is subject to a number of limitations and, as of today, uncertainty remains as to how to interpret numerous provisions in the Act.

In December 2004, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. The new pronouncement replaces the existing requirements under SFAS No.123 and APB 25. According to SFAS No. 123 (R), all forms of share-based payments to employees, including employee stock options and employee stock purchase plans, would be treated the same as any other form of compensation by recognizing the related cost in the Statement of Operations. This pronouncement eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation transactions using APB No. 25 and generally would require instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value based method, with a binomial or lattice model preferred to the Black-Scholes valuation model. The lattice model can explicitly capture expected changes in dividends and stock volatility over the expected life of the options, in contrast to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which uses weighted average assumptions about option pricing. FASB concluded that for public companies SFAS No. 123 (R) is effective for awards and stock options granted, modified or settled in cash in interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS No. 123 (R) provides transition alternatives for public companies to restate prior interim periods or prior years. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on its statement of operation.

Other comprehensive income consists of unrealized loss on available-for-sale investments reported at fair value and foreign currency translation adjustments during the period.

Basic net income per share excludes the effect of potentially dilutive securities and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by adding dilutive common stock options and shares subject to repurchase to the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Between January 1, 2004 and September 30, 2004, there were no changes to the Company’s goodwill balance of $10.3 million. The Company performed its last impairment test in September 2004 and determined that there had been no impairment to its goodwill. There can be no assurance, however, that a material impairment charge will not be recorded in the future.

Other intangible assets subject to amortization consist of acquired technology that is being amortized over a period of four years as follows (in thousands):

The other intangible assets will be fully amortized during the three months ending December 31, 2004.

The Company accounts for certain software development costs, including purchased software, in accordance with SFAS No. 86, Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company capitalized $30,000 and $45,000 of software development costs. For the comparable periods in 2003, the Company capitalized $0 and $275,000, respectively. Capitalized software costs subject to amortization consist of technology that is being amortized over a period of 36 months. The capitalized software at September 30, 2004 will be fully amortized within 1 and 2 years. The software development costs are as follows (in thousands):

The net capitalized software costs are classified as “Other assets” on the Company’s balance sheet.

During the three months ended June 30, 2004, the Company recorded a restructuring and impairment charge of $4.1 million related to the consolidation of our office leases in San Francisco. The restructuring charge is based on net present value of the Company’s future contractual lease obligations net of any sublease income and any incidental expenses related to restructuring.

In addition to the restructuring provision, the Company abandoned approximately $680,000 of leasehold improvements and excess furniture and fixtures.

As of September 30, 2004, approximately $1.9 million of the restructuring accrual is recorded as long-term liabilities.

In September 2001, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an initial stock repurchase program of up to 1,000,000 shares of its common stock. In July 2002, the Board of Directors amended the Company’s stock repurchase program to increase the number of shares authorized for repurchase by an additional 1,230,000 shares. In July 2004, the Board of Directors further amended the Company’s stock repurchase program to increase the number of shares authorized for repurchase by an additional 1,000,000 shares. Depending on market conditions and other factors, repurchases can be made from time to time in the open market and in negotiated transactions, including block transactions, and this program may be discontinued at any time. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company repurchased approximately 1,519,000 shares at a cost of approximately $11.2 million. In calendar year ended December 31, 2003, the Company repurchased approximately 231,000 shares at a cost of approximately $1.2 million.

In October 2004, the Board of Directors amended the Company’s stock repurchase program to increase the number of shares authorized to repurchase by an additional 1,000,000 shares.

Operating segments are components of a business enterprise that its chief operating decision maker considers when allocating resources to its different segments and making assessments on their performances. By this definition, the Company operates only in one reportable operating segment: the design, development, marketing, sales and support of software for database and application development and management.

The Company’s geographic sales data is based on customer location as defined by the following regions: North America, United Kingdom and Other. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Embarcadero Europe Ltd., transacts all sales in Europe, the Middle East, Australia and Africa. Various distributors and resellers handle sales in regions outside Europe, the Middle East, Australia, Africa and North America.

On August 31, 2004, the Company terminated its $3.0 million revolving credit facility.

A financial institution issued an irrevocable standby letter of credit for approximately $120,000 in relation to a real estate lease agreement executed in April 2004. The standby letter of credit will expire on June 1, 2005.

The Company leases office space and equipment under non-cancelable operating lease agreements that expire at various dates through 2009. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period and has accrued for rent expense incurred but not paid. Some of the lease agreements have renewal options ranging from one to five years. In April 2004, the Company announced a restructuring plan. As a part of that plan, the Company entered into a new five-year lease commitment and subleased the remainder of its long-term San Francisco office leases. The lease and subleases were executed in April 2004. The subleases will expire in July 2008. The Company’s net contractual sublease income over the duration of the subleases is $962,000 payable as follows: years 2005 through 2007, $269,000 per year and $155,000 in 2008.

The Company entered into a three-year capital lease agreement in June 2004, for approximately $500,000 to finance the acquisition of certain furniture and fixtures and computer equipment. The capital lease agreement bears an interest rate of 6.1% per annum and has a $1 buyout option at its expiration in June 2007.

Gross lease payment obligations under the non-cancelable operating and capital lease are as follows (in thousands):

In October 2002, The Client Server Factory Inc. filed a claim in the Superior Court for the County of San Francisco alleging causes of action for breach of fiduciary duty for misappropriation and theft of corporate opportunity, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, conspiracy and other similar claims. The claims relate to alleged activities of Wayne Williams, currently our Chief Technology Officer, and an entity in which Mr. Williams previously held an interest, EngineeringPerformance, Inc., prior to November 2000, when we acquired Engineering Performance and Mr. Williams joined the Company. The complaint names as defendants, in addition to Mr. Williams, Stonegate Insurance Company LTD, a holding company owned by Mr. Williams through which he held his interest in EngineeringPerformance; EngineeringPerformance Inc. and a related company, EngineeringPerformance, LLC; and the Company and Stephen Wong, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Among other things, the complaint alleges that the defendants conspired together to deprive the plaintiff of its proprietary rights to software that the Company acquired from EngineeringPerformance, Inc., which is being used in a product that the Company’s currently selling and marketing. The plaintiff is seeking damages of at least $10.0 million plus punitive damages, as well as restitution and disgorgement of certain earnings, profits, compensation and benefits.

In February 2004, Embarcadero, along with Mr. Wong, EngineeringPerformance Inc., and EngineeringPerformance, LLC, filed an amended cross-complaint against The Client Server Factory for fraud, negligent misrepresentation and violation of California’s unfair competition law. These claims relate to contracts between Embarcadero and EngineeringPerformance, LLC, and, respectively, Client Server Factory and its then U.S. sales office. The cross-complaint seeks restitution, an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, and punitive damages. In August 2004, Embarcadero, along with Mr. Wong, EngineeringPerformance Inc., and EngineeringPerformance, LLC removed the lawsuit to federal court. In October 2004, the case was remanded back to state court. A trial date has been set for July 5, 2005. While management believes that the defenses to the claims are meritorious and the Company intends to continue to defend itself vigorously, no estimate can be made of the possible loss or possible range of loss associated with the resolution of this contingency and accordingly, the Company has not recorded a liability. As the litigation is uncertain, the Company is unable to predict an outcome at this time. An unfavorable outcome may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Audit Committee’s independent investigation concluded on January 5, 2005, and identified certain revenue recognition practices that were determined not to be in compliance with our stated revenue recognition policy. Pursuant to our stated policy, we recognize revenue from sales by distributors and resellers on a sell-through basis, meaning that revenue is recognized only when persuasive evidence of an arrangement with an end user exists and all other revenue recognition criteria are met. The investigation resulted in the conclusion that revenue from certain transactions entered into during 2004 between Embarcadero Europe and certain of its distributors and resellers had not been recorded on a sell-through basis, thereby resulting in fees that were not fixed and determinable as required by Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition.

As a result of the investigation, the Audit Committee determined that certain distributors and resellers had an implied right to (i) pay us only when they were paid by end users, (ii) return product in the event that a sale to an end user was ultimately not consummated or (iii) pay us on extended terms beyond their initial contractual obligations. Had we accounted for the subject transactions giving consideration to these implied rights, we would not have recorded revenues in the period in which they were originally recorded, as the fees associated with the contracts would not have been fixed and determinable.

As a result of the foregoing factors, and to correct an error in calculating the amortization of our deferred revenue related to maintenance contracts generated by Embarcadero Europe in the quarter ended June 30, 2004, we have restated our financial results for the three and six months ended March 31 and June 30, 2004, to conform to our internal revenue recognition policies to recognize revenue from sales by distributors and resellers on a sell-through basis. The restatement excludes revenue previously recognized from certain distributors and resellers, and defers it until all criteria for the recognition of revenue have been satisfied. Further, the restatement corrects an error in calculating the amortization of our deferred revenue related to maintenance contracts generated by Embarcadero Europe in the quarter ended June 30, 2004. As a result of the restatement, total revenues have decreased by $181,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, $366,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, and $547,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004; net income has decreased by $130,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, net loss increased by $326,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, and net income has decreased by $456,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004; and diluted earnings per share has decreased $0.01 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, basic and diluted loss per share increased by $0.01 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, and basic and diluted earnings per share decreased by $0.02 for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

None of the adjustments described above had any impact on cash balances for any affected period. However, our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and certain items in the cash provided by operating activities were restated to reflect the restated net income (loss) and revisions to certain balance sheet accounts. There were no other changes to the consolidated statements of cash flows.

From November 5, 2004 to November 10, 2004, multiple class action lawsuits were filed against the Company and certain of its officers in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. Each lawsuit purports to be filed on behalf of all purchasers of the Company’s securities from April 20, 2004 through October 27, 2004, inclusive (the “class period”), and each lawsuit alleges various violations of securities laws during the class period. The lawsuits seek unspecified damages.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws that relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as may, will, should, expect, plan, anticipate, believe, estimate, predict, intend, potential or continue or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Such statements are only predictions. Risks and uncertainties and the occurrence of other events could cause actual results to differ materially from these predictions. The factors discussed below under “Factors That May Affect Future Results” should be considered

carefully in evaluating Embarcadero and its business. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, we assume no responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these statements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report or to conform these statements to actual results.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations gives effect to the restatement of our consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2004. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Form 10-Q, and with our Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, filed on March 12, 2004, and with the Forms 10-Q/A for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, each filed on January 18, 2005.

The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors recently completed an investigation focused on our revenue recognition practices related to transactions with certain distributors and resellers, principally those of our United Kingdom subsidiary, Embarcadero Europe. As a result of the investigation, the Audit Committee determined that certain distributors and resellers had an implied right to (i) pay us only when they were paid by end users, (ii) return product in the event that a sale to an end user was ultimately not consummated or (iii) pay us on extended terms beyond their initial contractual obligations. Had we accounted for the subject transactions giving consideration to these implied rights, we would not have recorded revenues in the period in which they were originally recorded, as the fees associated with the contracts would not have been fixed and determinable.

As a result of the foregoing, and an error in calculating the amortization of our deferred revenue related to maintenance contracts generated by Embarcadero Europe in the quarter ended June 30, 2004, total revenues have decreased by $181,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, $366,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, and $547,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004; net income has decreased by $130,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, net loss has increased by $326,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, and net income has decreased by $456,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004; and diluted earnings per share has decreased $0.01 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, basic and diluted loss per share have increased by $0.01 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, and basic and diluted earnings per share have decreased by $0.02 for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

The restatement adjustments did not materially affect our reported deferred revenue balances. None of the adjustments described above had any impact on cash balances or net cash provided by operating activities for any period. However, our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and certain items in the cash provided by operating activities were restated to reflect the restated net income (loss), and revisions to certain balance sheet accounts. There were no other changes to the consolidated statements of cash flows.

We provide data management solutions that help organizations cost-effectively build, optimize, test, and manage their critical data, database, and application infrastructures. We earn revenues from the world-wide sale of these software solutions and related maintenance and support services to corporations, government agencies, educational institutions, and other entities. Information technology (IT) budgets, as well as macroeconomic conditions, affect demand for our products. In addition, our sales are impacted by competitive conditions, market acceptance of our product offerings, and our ability to execute our sales plans successfully. We have historically derived a significant percentage of our revenues from our DBArtisan product line. This product line is expected to continue to account for a significant portion of our net revenues for the foreseeable future. As a result of this revenue concentration, our business could be harmed by a decline in demand for this product or its related product line.

Our products support the most widely used database and OS platforms, including Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2 Universal Database, and Sybase, running in Unix, Windows NT, and Linux environments.

In 2001, 2002, and the first half of 2003, global economic conditions had a negative impact on IT spending and affected sales of our products. However, we saw an improvement in license sales in the second half of 2003 as customers seemed more willing to spend money to bolster their IT infrastructures. In the first quarter of 2004, we noticed some improvements to the fundamentals of our market. Towards the end of the second quarter, however, we encountered an abrupt, and perhaps temporary, slow down in IT spending, and we were not able to close some key transactions. Any renewed slowdown in the global economy could adversely impact our revenue growth and profitability.

Slightly stronger IT spending, better sales execution in the U.S. market and new product offerings increased our total revenues to $14.0 million and $41.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to $13.2 million and $37.8 million for the corresponding periods in 2003.

Most of our operating expenses are related to personnel and related overhead costs, facilities, outside research and development contractors, and legal and other professional service costs. The operating expenditures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, were at $11.4 million and $36.1 million, respectively, as compared to $9.9 million and $30.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively.

As discussed above, our Audit Committee recently completed an accounting investigation. The Committee engaged independent legal and accounting experts to conduct the investigation. We estimate that the cost of the investigation will be between $2.1 million and $2.3 million, which will be recorded in operating expenses in the three month period ending December 31, 2004.

Our revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 increased by 6.6% and 10.5%, respectively, while the operating expenditures, including the restructuring and impairment charges of $4.1 million, increased by 15.5% and 20.3%, respectively, for the same periods.

Our cash flow from operations was approximately $10.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were $58 million at September 30, 2004, which remained unchanged compared to December 31, 2003, including cash payments of approximately $11.2 million related to acquisition of common stock under the Company’s stock repurchase program during the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

Our license and maintenance revenues, results of operations, cash flows from operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected in the future by a renewed downturn in global economic conditions, increased competitive pressures and our own inability to execute our sales plans.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the percentage relationship of certain items from the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations to total revenues:

Total revenues and year over year charges are as follows (in thousands except for percentages):

Total Revenues. Total revenues were $14 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of 6.6% over the $13.2 million reported for the comparable period in 2003. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, total revenues were $42.0 million, an increase of 10.4% over the $37.8 million reported for the comparable period in 2003.

License. License revenues were $7.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of 3.4% over the $6.9 million reported for the comparable period in 2003. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, total license revenues were $20.6 million, an increase of 4.7% over the $19.6 million reported for the comparable period in 2003. The increase in license revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2004 was mainly due to better than expected sales closure ratios in our North American region, which offset our seasonally weak European revenues. The increase in license revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was due to a combination of stronger IT spending, growth in international revenue, and customer adoption of our new products and product bundles. In addition, we received non-recurring foreign exchange benefits due to devaluation of U.S. Dollar relative to British Pound of $118,000 and $470,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. Future license revenues cannot be predicted and could vary based upon IT spending patterns, demand for DBArtisan and our other existing products, acceptance of our new products, changes in product pricing, competitive conditions and other related factors.

Maintenance. Maintenance revenues were $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of 10.1% over the $6.3 million reported for the comparable period in 2003. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, maintenance revenues were $21.2 million, an increase of 16.6% over the $18.2 million reported for the comparable period in 2003. The increase in maintenance revenues was due to the following two factors: new licenses sold and renewals of our existing maintenance and support contracts. In addition, we received non-recurring foreign exchange benefits due to devaluation of U.S. Dollar relative to British Pound of $121,000 and $382,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. We cannot predict our maintenance revenues related to new software licenses or renewal of our existing maintenance and support programs since they could vary based upon factors that impact our license revenues as well as the renewal and retention rates of our existing programs.

Total Cost of Revenues. Total cost of revenues was $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of 9.5% over the $1.3 million reported for the comparable period in 2003. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, total cost of revenues was $4.2 million, an increase of 11.4% over the $3.8 million reported for the comparable period in 2003.

License. Cost of license revenues consists primarily of amortization of internally developed and capitalized software development costs, royalties, credit card processing fees and product media and packaging. Cost of license revenues was $283,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, or 4% of license revenues, as compared to $168,000, or 2.5% of license revenues, for the comparable period in 2003. The increase in absolute dollars for the three months ended September 30, 2004 from the comparable period in 2003 was primarily due to an increase in amortization of internally developed and capitalized software of $56,000 relating to a product that

was released in the third quarter of 2003. In addition, we wrote off $50,000 relating to the unused portion of a prepaid license agreement which expired during the three months period September 30, 2004. Cost of license revenues was $705,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, or 3.4% of license revenues, as compared to $373,000, or 1.9% of license revenues, for the comparable period in 2003. The increase in absolute dollars for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from the comparable period in 2003 was primarily due to an increase in amortization of internally developed and capitalized software of $300,000 related to a product that was released during the third quarter of 2003 and a write-off of $50,000 relating to the unused portion of a prepaid license agreement. This increase, however, was partially offset by a decrease in product media, packaging costs, shipping expenses, and credit card processing fees of $18,000 due to a more effective management of these costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Cost of license revenues as a percentage of license revenues may vary in the future depending upon the mix of internally developed versus purchased or licensed products, the volume and mix of the completed license transactions and the possibility of a write down due to obsolete technology.

Amortization of acquired technology. This amortization of acquired technology is related to technologies licensed or acquired from third parties that were deemed to have reached technological feasibility at the date of acquisition and therefore are capitalized. The amortization of acquired technology was $556,000 for each of the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, and $1.7 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. The costs of the amortization of acquired technology may vary in the future depending on the mix of internally developed versus acquired products. At September 30, 2004, the net book value of our capitalized software is approximately $2.0 million and has a remaining life of approximately one to two years.

Maintenance. Cost of maintenance revenues consists primarily of customer support personnel and related expenses, including payroll, employee benefits and allocated overhead. Cost of maintenance revenues was $572,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, or 8.3% of maintenance revenues, as compared to $565,000, or 9% of maintenance revenues, for the comparable period in 2003. The cost of maintenance for the three months ended September 30, 2004, from the comparable period in 2003, remained relatively unchanged. The increase of $7,000 in absolute dollars for the three months ended September 30, 2004, from the comparable period in 2003, was primarily due to additional cost of maintenance in the U.K. and the unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate. These increases were partially offset by a lower cost of maintenance in the U.S. Cost of maintenance revenues was $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, or 8.6% of maintenance revenues, as compared to $1.7 million, or 9.5% of maintenance revenues, for the comparable period in 2003. Cost of maintenance for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 increased $96,000 from the comparable period in 2003, due to additional cost of maintenance in the U.K. of $120,000 including an unfavorable foreign currency exchange fluctuation of $43,000, which was partially offset by the lower cost of maintenance in the U.S. We expect to hire additional personnel to support our growing customer base and expanding product line. If we hire such additional personnel, the cost of maintenance revenues will probably increase in absolute dollars and potentially will increase as a percentage of maintenance revenues for the additional personnel hired in advance of an increase in the maintenance revenue.

Total Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses were $11.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of 15.5% over the $9.9 million reported for the comparable period in 2003. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, total operating expenses were $36.1 million, an increase of 20.3% over the $30 million reported for the comparable period in 2003.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and related expenses, including payroll and employee benefits, expenses for facilities and payments made to outside software development contractors. Research and development expenses were $3.9 million, or 27.9% of revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2004, and $4.0 million, or 30.3% of revenues, for the comparable period in 2003. The slight decline in costs for the three months ended September 30, 2004 was a result of benefits received from the lease restructuring in the quarter ended June 30, 2004. Research and development expenses were $11.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, or 27.8% of revenues, as compared to $11.8 million, or 31.2% of revenues, for the comparable period in 2003. Throughout 2003 and 2004, we focused on strengthening our Canadian research and development team. We anticipate that we will continue to invest significant resources into research and development activities in order to develop new products, advance the technology of our existing products and develop new business opportunities. We expect to continue to benefit from cost efficiencies related to expanding the research and development activities of our Canadian subsidiary.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel and related expenses, commissions earned by sales personnel, non-cash stock-based compensation, trade shows, travel and other marketing communication costs, such as advertising and other marketing programs. Sales and marketing expenses were $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, or 37.1% of revenues, and $4.6 million or 35% of revenues, for the comparable period in 2003. The increase in absolute dollars of sales and marketing expenditures for the three months ended September 30, 2004, from the comparable period in 2003, was mainly due to our U.S. sales and marketing salaries and wages which increased by $292,000 due mainly to an increase in stock-based compensation of $162,000 and increased sales commissions due to higher revenue. In addition, costs related to the U.K. increased approximately $220,000 related to the formation of a European business development group and an unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation of approximately $120,000. We also incurred increased costs of $106,000 related to wages and marketing costs as we continued to expand our Australian operations. Sales and marketing expenditures were $15.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, or 36.9% of revenues, as compared to $14.3 million, or 37.9% of revenues, for the comparable period in 2003. The increase in absolute dollars of sales and marketing expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, from the comparable period in 2003, was mainly due to increased sales and marketing costs of $256,000 related to the U.K. subsidiary, coupled with an unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation of $378,000. Further, we had increased costs of approximately $220,000 related to the expansion of our Australian operations. Domestically, sales and marketing costs increased $215,000, due mainly to an increase in stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards. We expect sales and marketing expenses to continue to be a considerable percentage of our total revenue in the future.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and related expenses, general operating expenses and non-cash stock-based compensation. General and administrative expenses were $2.3 million, or 16.1% of revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2004, and $1.3 million, or 9.6% of revenues, for the comparable period in 2003. The increase in absolute dollars for the three months ended September 30, 2004 was primarily due to increases in litigation costs of $504,000, professional services related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance requirements of $218,000, and an increase in salary and wages of $233,000, due mainly to an increase in stock-based compensation of $221,000. Further, the general and administrative expenses in the U.K. increased by $75,000 due to

legal costs, salaries and wages and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. General and administrative expenses were $5.0 million, or 12% of revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, and $3.9 million, or 10.2% of revenues, for the comparable period in 2003. The increase in absolute dollars for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was primarily due to increases in legal expenses of $630,000 for litigation expenses, professional services related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance requirements of $250,000, and salary and wages of approximately $164,000.

We anticipate that general and administrative expenses will increase in the near future, as we continue to incur costs to comply with the additional rules and regulations promulgated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Nasdaq National Market. These increased costs include the hiring of additional personnel, as well as costs associated with outside legal counsel, accounting and advisory services. Further, we estimate that the cost of the investigation conducted by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors will be approximately $2.1 million to $2.3 million, which will be recorded in the three months ending December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005. We expect to incur additional costs as we implement the recommendations of our Audit Committee resulting from the investigation. We are also involved in ongoing litigation and, depending on the activity in a given quarter, our litigation costs can vary materially from period to period.

Restructuring and impairment charges. In April 2004, we entered into a non-cancelable five-year operating lease agreement for our headquarters in San Francisco, California. The objectives of entering into this new lease agreement were to consolidate our two offices in San Francisco, eliminate excess office space within San Francisco and improve our operating efficiencies. In conjunction with the execution of the new lease, we subleased our other San Francisco long-term lease contract. The sublease agreements co-terminate along with the master lease to which they are subject in July 2008. As a result, we recorded restructuring and impairment charges of $4.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2004. The charges were comprised of three elements: the net present value of approximately $3.8 million relating to the future contractual lease obligation, net of contractual sublease income of approximately $950,000; an impairment loss of $680,000 relating to abandoned leasehold improvements; and approximately $550,000 related to other contractual restructuring expenses, including tenant improvement allowances and brokerage and legal fees. We do not expect a material change in depreciation or other overhead costs. If our subtenants were to stop paying the sublease income, we could be required to record another restructuring charge. The amount of that charge cannot be estimated at this time.

Other income, net. Other income, net consists primarily of interest income net of interest expense. Other income, net was $210,000, or 1.5% of revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2004, and $79,000, or 0.6% of revenues, for the comparable period in 2003. Other income, net was $529,000, or 1.3% of revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, and 364,000, or 1% of revenues, for the comparable period in 2003. The amounts of interest expense related to the capital lease executed in the second quarter of 2004 remained immaterial during these periods.

Provision for income taxes. Under SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS No. 109), deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and

liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. SFAS No. 109 provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not. The provision for income taxes was $692,000 and $607,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The provisions for income taxes were $340,000 and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The estimated effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 are approximately 19% and 29%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to a benefit received from disqualifying dispositions of employee stock options which were amortized in previous periods, net of a projected reduction in available research and development tax credits. We believe our full year 2004 effective tax rate will be approximately 19%.

The exercise and sale of incentive stock options typically creates disqualifying dispositions which benefits the overall corporate tax rate. It is impossible to forecast the exercise of our outstanding common stock options or the disqualifying dispositions associated with them. The benefits received from the disqualifying dispositions can only be considered in calculating a Company’s tax rate in the period in which they are realized. In the past, our effective tax rate has been reduced due to the occurrence of such disqualifying dispositions.

We will continue to evaluate our ability to realize deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and our deferred tax assets and liabilities. In the event that actual results differ from our estimates, we will adjust such estimates in the future periods, and we may also need to adjust the effective rate for the current year.

In October 2004, the President signed the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”). The Act creates a temporary incentive for U.S corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85% dividends received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign corporations. The deduction is subject to a number of limitations and, as of today, uncertainly remains as to how to interpret numerous provisions in the Act. As such, we are not yet in a position to decide on whether, and to what extent, we might repatriate foreign earnings that have not yet been remitted to the U.S.

We have funded our business to date from cash generated by our operations and financings. In April 2000, we completed our initial public offering of common stock, generating net proceeds to us of approximately $43.0 million. As of September 30, 2004, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $58 million.

The table aggregates certain line items from the cash flow statement to present the key items affecting our operating activities (in thousands):

Our primary source of operating cash flows is the collection of accounts receivable from our customers. We measure the effectiveness of our collections efforts by an analysis of average accounts receivable daily sales

outstanding (DSO). Collection of accounts receivable and related DSO could fluctuate in the future periods due to timing and amount of our revenues and the effectiveness of our collection efforts. In the future, collections could also fluctuate based upon the payment terms we extend to our customers. In the past, our payment terms have typically been net thirty days.

The non-cash adjustments include depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets, as well as amortization of deferred stock-based compensation and options issued in exchange for services. These non-cash adjustments may increase or decrease and, as a result, positively or negatively impact our future operating results, but they will not have a corresponding impact on our cash flows. The increases in non-cash adjustments were mainly due to an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense of 836,000, impairment charges of $680,000 and increase in amortization of developed technology of $299,000. The increase in operating liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was mainly due to a restructuring charge accrual of $3.8 million (see Note 7), offset by a decrease in other liabilities of $2.3 million.

Our operating cash flows may be impacted in the future by the timing of payments to our vendors for accounts payable. We typically pay our vendors and service providers in accordance with their invoice terms and conditions. The timing of cash payments in future periods will be impacted by the nature of accounts payable arrangements and management’s assessment of our cash inflows.

The table aggregates certain line items from the cash flow statement to present the key items affecting our investing activities (in thousands):

The main source of cash for investing activities is the maturities of or proceeds from sales of marketable securities, which were converted into cash equivalents.

The main use of cash for investing activities is the purchase of marketable securities for investment purposes, which were converted from cash equivalents. We intend to be consistent with our historical investment practices and invest in high quality short-term investments. We expect to continue to acquire such investments in the future and receive proceeds from them as they mature or are sold.

Included in cash used for investing activities were purchases of property and equipment, payments of principal under capital lease obligations, and technology acquired and developed. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, purchases of property and equipment were $1.3 million and $817,000, respectively. We entered into a $500,000 three-year capital lease agreement in June 2004 with a financial institution to finance acquisition of certain furniture and fixtures and computer equipment. The capital lease agreement bears interest of 6.1% per annum and has a $1 buyout at its expiration in June 2007. It is likely we will enter into additional capital lease arrangements as long as interest rates remain attractive.

The table below presents the key items affecting our financing activities (in thousands):

The main use of cash in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was the repurchase of approximately 1.5 million shares of our outstanding stock for $11.2 million. The Board of Directors increased the number of shares authorized for purchase by one million shares in October 2004. Thus, including this increase, we have approximately 1.6 million shares available for repurchase. The timing of future repurchases and the price paid for the shares could have a material impact on our liquidity.

The primary source of financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was the exercise of approximately 467,000 stock options for $2.5 million. Our future liquidity and capital resources could be impacted by the exercise of outstanding common stock options and the cash proceeds we receive upon exercise of these securities. Further, we have approximately 1.7 million shares available to issue under our current plans. The timing of the issuance, the duration of their vesting provision and the grant price will all impact the timing of any proceeds. However, we cannot estimate the amount of such proceeds at this time. Furthermore, the Company suspended all exercises of stock options under each of its equity compensation plans from November 16, 2004 through the filing date of this report. This suspension was required because the Company’s periodic reports are incorporated by reference into the registration statements for the securities issuable under each such equity compensation plan. The Company has extended the exercisability of all options that would otherwise have terminated during that period for a period of time equal to that during which the options were not exercisable due to the suspension.

In August 2004, we terminated our $3.0 million revolving credit facility with a financial institution. We did not intend to utilize this line of credit due to our liquidity position. The financial institution issued an irrevocable standby letter of credit for approximately $120,000 in relation to a real estate lease agreement executed in April 2004. The standby letter of credit expires on June 1, 2005.

We had net deferred tax assets totaling $4.2 million at September 30, 2004. We believe that these assets will be realizable in the future. In addition, at December 31, 2003, we had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $5.7 million and $7.1 million, respectively. These NOLs can be carried forward to offset future taxable income, if any. Our federal and state net operating loss carry forwards expire in 2006 through 2021, if not utilized. At December 31, 2003, we had federal and state research and development credits of approximately $2.3 million and $800,000, respectively. The federal credits expire in 2020 through 2023. We believe that we can realize all of our NOLs and credits in the future.

Our contractual obligations consisted of facility lease commitments, operating leases for office equipment, and capital leases for property and equipment. In April 2004, we announced a restructuring plan, and, as a part of that plan, we entered in to a new five-year lease commitment and subleased the remainder of our long-term San Francisco office leases. Gross lease payment obligations under the non-cancelable operating and capital lease are as follows (in thousands):

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to finance our operations through at least the next 18 months. If we fail to generate cash flow from operations in the future due to an unexpected decline in revenues or due to a sustained increase in cash expenditures in excess of revenues generated, our cash balances may not be sufficient to fund continuing operations without obtaining additional financing. If additional financing is needed, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available to us on reasonable financial terms terms, or at all.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2004.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires an issuer to classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. In November 2003, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No.150-3 which deferred the effective date for instruments that are mandatorily redeemable on fixed dates for amounts that either are fixed or are determined by reference to an interest rate index, currency index or another external index by one year, so that, for those instruments, the provisions of SFAS No. 150 are effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2004, and for all other financial instruments that are mandatorily redeemable, the classification, measurement and disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 150 are deferred indefinitely, pending further FASB action. The FASB, at this time, is reconsidering the implementation issues, as well as, perhaps, classification or measurement guidance for those non-controlling interests during the deferral period. To date, the effective provisions of SFAS No. 150 did not have an impact on the financial position or the results of operations of the Company. Although the effective date of certain elements of SFAS No. 150 has been deferred, the adoption of SFAS No. 150, once finalized, is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial position or the results of operations since we do not currently have any financial instrument that has been impacted by the standard.

In March 2004, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 03-01 (EITF 03-01), The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, which provides new guidance for assessing impairment losses on investments. Additionally, EITF 03-01 includes new disclosure requirements for investments that are deemed to be temporarily impaired. In September 2004, the FASB delayed the accounting provisions of EITF 03-01; however, the disclosure requirements remain effective for annual periods ending after June 15, 2004. We will evaluate the impact of EITF 03-01 once the final guidance is issued.

stock-based compensation transactions using APB No. 25 and generally would require that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value based method, with a binomial or lattice model preferred to the Black-Scholes valuation model. The lattice model can explicitly capture expected changes in dividends and stock volatility over the expected life of the options, in contrast to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which uses weighted average assumptions about option pricing. For public companies, FASB has determined that SFAS No. 123 (R) is effective for awards and stock options granted, modified or settled in cash in interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS No. 123 (R) provides transition alternatives for public companies to restate prior interim periods or prior years. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on our statement of operations.

In addition to other information in this report, the following factors should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of or currently deem immaterial may also become important factors that may harm our business.

We have restated our interim financial statements and have a material weakness in our internal controls that requires remediation. We may conclude, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, that our internal controls over financial reporting at December 31, 2004 are not effective.

Following the third quarter of 2004, our Audit Committee conducted an investigation focused on our revenue recognition practices related to transactions with certain distributors and resellers, principally those of our United Kingdom subsidiary, Embarcadero Europe. Upon completion of this investigation, we concluded that it was necessary to restate certain financial data to properly reflect sales to certain distributors and resellers on a sell-through basis, which is consistent with our revenue recognition policy, for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2004.

Our decision to restate prior period financial statements resulted from a material weakness with respect to the reporting of transactions principally conducted by Embarcadero Europe. Following discovery of the material weakness, we have taken steps to strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting to prevent the recurrence of the circumstances that resulted in our determination to restate prior period financial statements. Although these procedures were implemented and evaluated for effectiveness in the fourth quarter of 2004, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until these procedures operate for a period of time, are tested, and it is concluded that such procedures are operating effectively. In connection with our annual audit, we may conclude that this material weakness was not remediated prior to December 31, 2004, and we would therefore conclude that, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our internal controls over financial reporting at December 31, 2004 were not effective. If such a determination is made, we could be subject to regulatory sanctions and a loss of public confidence in our internal controls. In addition, any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to timely meet our regulatory reporting obligations. Any of these failures could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

In addition, this report on Form 10-Q was not filed within the time periods required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result, we are deemed to be untimely in our reporting obligations and will thus be unable (for a period of time) to utilize certain forms for the registration of securities or other purposes. For example, we will be ineligible to utilize Form S-3 for the registration of securities until we have been current in our public reporting obligations for a period of one year.

Our common stock may be delisted from the Nasdaq National Market because of the untimely filing of our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2004.

The Nasdaq Stock Market requires, as a condition of continued listing, that all periodic reports be timely filed with the SEC. Because of our failure to timely file this Form 10-Q, Nasdaq notified us on November 17, 2004 that our common stock is subject to delisting. We requested an oral hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel to appeal the delisting and request additional time to file this Form 10-Q. The hearing occurred on December 21, 2004.

The Nasdaq Panel took no action at that time, and the matter remains open. Although we have now filed this Form 10-Q, we cannot be certain that the Nasdaq Panel will allow our common stock to continue to be listed on the Nasdaq National Market. The delisting of our common stock would significantly disrupt the ability of investors to trade our securities and would significantly negatively affect the value and liquidity of our securities.

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate in future periods, and, as a result, our stock price may fluctuate or decline.

Our operating results have fluctuated from quarter to quarter. We believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our historical results of operations are not indicative of our future performance. Our revenues and operating results may continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, including the factors discussed below under the captions:

Seasonal variations in orders for our products also contribute to fluctuations in our quarterly operating results. These fluctuations are likely to cause corresponding volatility in our stock price, particularly if our operating results vary from analysts’ expectations.

Increased costs associated with corporate governance compliance and our Audit Committee investigation may significantly impact the results of our operations.

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance, public disclosure and compliance practices, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, new SEC regulations and Nasdaq National Market rules, are creating uncertainty for companies such as ours in understanding and complying with these laws, regulations and standards. As a result of this uncertainty and other factors, devoting the necessary resources to comply with evolving corporate governance and public disclosure standards will result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention to compliance activities. We also expect these developments to increase our legal compliance and financial reporting costs. In addition, these developments may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain such a coverage. Moreover, we may not be able to comply with these new rules and regulations on a timely basis.

These developments could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, or qualified executive officers. We are presently evaluating and monitoring regulatory developments and cannot estimate the timing and magnitude of additional costs we may incur as a result. To the extent these costs are significant; our general and administrative expenses are likely to increase.

Additionally, we have incurred significant legal, accounting and consulting costs in connection with our recent Audit Committee investigation. We estimate that the cost of the investigation conducted by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors will be approximately $1.8 million to $2.0 million, which will be recorded in the three month period ending December 31, 2004. As a result, our results of operations for the quarters ending December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005 will be adversely affected. In addition, we will continue to incur increased general and administrative expenses as we implement, test and refine the internal controls over financial reporting and recruit new personnel into our finance organization.

Litigation could continue to increase our general and administrative expenditures and harm our business.

We have been subject to lawsuits as part of our normal course of business, including the suit brought against us by The Client Server Factory relating to our acquisition of Engineering Performance, Inc. in November 2000. This litigation is still pending and has contributed to an increase in our general and administrative expenses in 2004. Additionally, in November of 2004, multiple class action lawsuits were filed against us and certain of our officers. The defense of these lawsuits could also result in the diversion of our management’s time and attention away from business operations, which could harm our business. In addition, litigation is expensive and unpredictable and could harm our financial condition.

A significant portion of our revenues is derived from sales of our DBArtisan product. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, DBArtisan accounted for more than 30% of our domestic license revenues. This continues a trend that held true for 2002 and 2003. We expect that sales of DBArtisan will continue to represent a substantial portion of our license revenues for the foreseeable future. In addition, many of our customers initiate a relationship with us by purchasing DBArtisan. If demand for DBArtisan declines due to competition, technological change or other factors, our revenues and income may decline significantly.

If we do not generate new business from our existing customers and add new customers from our new or existing products, we will not be able to sustain or increase our revenues.

Our license arrangements generally do not provide for substantial ongoing license or maintenance payments. Therefore, our future revenue growth depends on our success in expanding our relationships with existing customers and attracting new customers. Our ability to expand our relationships with existing customers and attract new customers will depend on a variety of factors, including the performance, quality, breadth, and depth of our current and future products and maintenance. Our failure to expand relationships with existing customers or to add new customers would reduce our future license and maintenance revenues. In addition, if our existing customers do not renew their support contracts, our future maintenance revenues will be adversely affected.

Our operating results would be harmed if the recovery of information technology spending does not continue.

The markets into which we sell our products are cyclical and are subject to general economic conditions. Although the information technology market appeared to have recovered in the second half of 2003 and the first quarter of 2004, there was an abrupt downturn in the second quarter of 2004. Economic conditions remain uncertain and the recovery may not be sustained. Any renewed slowdowns in the database market or in general economic conditions would likely result in a reduction in demand for our products and our results of operations would be harmed.

If we are not able to attract and retain qualified personnel, our business will not be able to grow.

Our success depends on the continued service of our executive officers and other key administrative, sales and marketing, research and development, and support personnel. None of our executive officers or key employees is bound by an employment agreement for any specific term, and we do not maintain any key person life insurance policies.

As a result of the recently completed investigation by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, we are recruiting new personnel for our finance and sales organization. Our business will not be able to grow if we cannot fill these positions and attract, retain, and motivate other qualified personnel. Competition for qualified employees remains intense and we may not be able to attract, assimilate, or retain highly qualified personnel in the future. There has been in the past and there may also be in the future a shortage of personnel that possess the technical background necessary to sell, support, and develop our products effectively. It has also become more difficult to recruit qualified

financial personnel since the new laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance, public disclosure are financial reporting. Some of our current employees and those that we seek to hire may be subject to non-competition or non-solicitation covenants that could further limit our ability to attract or retain qualified personnel.

We invest heavily in research and development with no guarantee of return from the investments that we make.

We have invested significant resources in the development of new products. If our new products are not accepted in the marketplace, we may not achieve future revenue growth and may have limited return on the investments that we have made. In addition, we plan to continue to invest in research and development and could fail to achieve expected returns from future investments.

If we are not able to enhance our existing products to adapt to rapid technological change, or we introduce new products that do not achieve market acceptance, our revenues and earnings may suffer and we may experience loss of market share.

The market for our products is characterized by rapid technological change, frequent product introductions and enhancements, uncertain product lifecycles, and changes in customer demands and industry standards. Our success depends on our ability to continue to:

However, due to the nature of computing environments, new products and product enhancements could require longer development and testing periods than we currently anticipate. Moreover, if we develop new products that do not achieve market acceptance, we may not be able to recoup development and marketing expenses, which could harm our operating results.

The introduction of new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards may render our existing products obsolete and unmarketable. Delays in the general availability of new releases or problems in the installation or implementation of new releases could harm our business and operating results. We may not be successful in developing and marketing, on a timely and cost-effective basis, new products or new product enhancements that respond to technological change, evolving industry standards, or customer requirements. Our failure to do so would render our products obsolete and could harm our ability to compete. In addition, our products and product enhancements may not achieve market acceptance.

Large sales of our products and maintenance involve a lengthy sales cycle, which could cause delays in recognizing revenue or the failure to obtain revenue.

Since 2001, large sales of our products and maintenance to individual customers have increased. This is due to our sales efforts to sell larger deals of our traditional software, as well as the introduction of new products that have significantly higher starting prices and longer evaluation periods than our traditional products. These large sales typically involve sales cycles between six and twelve months, which is considerably longer than our sales cycle prior to 2001. This lengthy sales cycle is due to the need to educate and convince prospective customers of the value of our products and to gain approval from more constituencies within a prospective account, including key management personnel.

The timing of our revenues has become more difficult to forecast because of this lengthy sales cycle for large sales. We may expend substantial time and resources to negotiate transactions with prospective customers but then be delayed in concluding, or be unable to conclude, sales of our products and maintenance. Any delay in, or failure to complete, sales in a particular period would reduce our revenues in that period as well as in subsequent periods over which revenues for the sale may be recognized. If we were to experience a delay on one or more large orders, it could harm our ability to meet our forecasts for a given period. If our sales cycle unexpectedly lengthens in general or for one or more large sales, it could negatively affect the timing of our revenues and may cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly from period to period.

Our high fixed operating expenses might adversely affect our profitability if future revenue expectations are not met.

The majority of our operating expenses consist of personnel and related expenses and facility related costs. These costs are relatively fixed in the short term, and our operating decisions such as when to hire additional personnel and when to expand our facilities and infrastructure are based in large part on expectations about expected future revenues. If we hire personnel and enter into facilities contracts based on our expectations about future revenues, and then fail to meet those revenue expectations, we would likely have lower than expected earnings per share, which would negatively affect our stock price.

Our financial statements have been and could again be impacted by unauthorized and improper actions of our personnel.

As we have recently experienced with our restatement for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2004, our financial statements can be adversely impacted by our employees’ errant or improper actions. For instance, revenue recognition depends on, among other criteria, the terms negotiated in our contracts with our customers. Our personnel may act outside of their authority and negotiate additional terms without our knowledge which could impact our ability to recognize revenue in a timely manner. For instance, in the event that our sales personnel have negotiated terms that do not appear in the contract and of which we are unaware, whether the additional terms are written or oral, we could be prevented from recognizing revenue in accordance with our plans. Furthermore, depending on when we learn of unauthorized actions and the size of transactions involved, we may have to restate our financial statements for a previously reported period, which could seriously harm our business, operating results and financial condition. We have implemented new controls to prevent such conduct, but we cannot be certain that these new controls will be effective.

We may have future non-recurring charges in the event of goodwill impairment.

We adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002, and, as a result, we ceased to amortize goodwill. Going forward, we will be required to test our goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or in the event of a significant change in our business. We performed our last impairment test in September 2004 and determined that there had been no impairment to our goodwill. At September 30, 2004, our goodwill balance was $10.3 million. In the future, if we determine that this goodwill has been impaired, we will be required to take a non-recurring charge to write down this asset, which would adversely affect our earnings and book value.

We may be required to change our revenue recognition policies based on changing implementation guidelines and interpretations, which may cause our revenues and operating results to fluctuate unexpectedly.

In recent years, software revenue recognition rules have been under heavy review and interpretation by various accounting authoritative and regulatory bodies, including the American Institute for Certified Public Accountants and the Financial Accounting Standards Board. These reviews and interpretations have resulted in significant changes in the practices and standards for recognizing revenues in software companies. There could be further changes in these standards. We may have to change our methods of revenue recognition to comply with new standards, and any such change could cause deferment of revenues recognized in current periods to subsequent periods or accelerated recognition of deferred revenue to current periods, such changes might cause shortfalls in meeting securities analysts’ and investors’ expectations in any period. Any such shortfalls could have an adverse impact on our stock price.

We expect to continue to expand our international sales and research and development operations. As a result, we could face a number of risks from our expanding international operations:

Further expansion of our international operations may require significant management attention and financial resources and may place burdens on our management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. Our possible investments to establish facilities in other countries may not produce desired levels of revenues or profitability, which would negatively affect our stock price.

If our products do not perform as expected, we may lose customers, our costs will increase and revenues may be delayed or lost.

Computer software such as ours often contains undetected errors and may contain design flaws. Errors may be found in current versions, new versions, or enhancements of our products after we make commercial shipments. If our software contains undetected errors, performs unreliably, or if we otherwise fail to meet our customers’ expectations, we may suffer:

We may lose market share and be required to reduce prices as a result of competition from our existing competitors and other independent software vendors and developers of software.

The market for our products is highly competitive, dynamic, and subject to rapidly changing technology. Pricing pressure in the market has increased as competitors have lowered prices and engaged in more aggressive discounting. If such pricing pressure continues, it could have an adverse effect on our margins.

We compete primarily against other providers of data and database management, data performance and availability, enterprise data design and modeling, and data movement technologies, which include Computer Associates, Quest Software, BMC Software, IBM/Rational Software, Borland Software Corporation, Informatica Corporation, Ascential Software, and other independent software vendors. Our products also compete with products offered by database software manufacturers, including Oracle, Microsoft, Sybase and IBM. Some of these competing products are provided at no charge to their customers. We expect that companies such as Oracle, Microsoft, Sybase, and IBM will continue to develop and incorporate into their products applications which compete with our products and may take advantage of their substantial technical, financial, marketing and distribution resources in those efforts. We may not be able to compete effectively with those products or efforts, which could significantly harm our business and operating results.

There has been consolidation in our industry, such as IBM’s acquisition of Rational Software and Borland Software Corporation’s acquisition of Togethersoft. These and any future acquisitions may have the effect of improving the competitive positions of the acquired companies and weakening our competitive situation. To effectively compete as the industry consolidates, we may need to seek alliances with other companies in order to gain better acceptance of our products. We may not be able to enter into such alliances on terms favorable to us or at all.

In addition, if the market for application and data lifecycle management products grows, some of our competitors may increase their focus on offering software directly competitive with ours, whether by internal development, external development, or acquisition. Our competitors may also attempt to keep us from integrating our software with theirs, making it more difficult for our customers to adopt our software. If such increased competition were to result in resistance to integration of our software with the software of these competitors, we may have difficulty entering markets where our competitors have strong market positions.

Further, if a single database platform were to gain a considerably larger share of the database market than other database platforms, we would lose our multi-platform competitive advantage and our sales would suffer. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, substantially greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, and greater name recognition than we do. They also may be able to respond more quickly than we can to changes in technology or customer requirements. Competition could seriously impede our ability to sell additional products on acceptable terms. Our competitors may pursue the following actions:

Competitive pressures could reduce our market share, reduce customer orders, reduce gross margins, or require us to reduce our prices, any of which would harm our operating results.

International political instability may increase our cost of doing business and disrupt our business.

Continued international political instability, evidenced by the threat or occurrence of terrorist attacks, enhanced national security measures, sustained military action in Afghanistan and Iraq, strained international relations with foreign governments and other international conflicts, may halt or hinder our ability to do business, may increase our costs, and may adversely affect our stock price. This continued instability may, for example, negatively impact the reliability and cost of transportation, negatively affect the desire of our employees and customers to travel, adversely affect our ability to obtain adequate insurance at reasonable rates, or require us to take extra security precautions for our domestic and international operations. In addition, this international political instability has had and may continue to have negative effects on financial markets, including significant price and volume fluctuations in securities markets. If this international political instability continues or escalates, our business and results of operations could be harmed and the market price of our common stock could decline.

Our proprietary rights may be inadequately protected and infringement claims or independent development of competing technologies could harm our competitive position.

We rely on copyright and trademark laws, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures, and contractual provisions to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We also enter into confidentiality agreements with employees and consultants and attempt to restrict access to proprietary information on a need-to-know basis. Despite such precautions, unauthorized third parties may be able to copy aspects of our products or obtain and use information that we consider as proprietary.

We license our software products primarily under shrink-wrap licenses delivered electronically with our software products. Shrink-wrap licenses are not negotiated with or signed by individual licensees and purport to take effect upon installation of the product or downloading of the product from the Internet. These measures afford only limited protection. Policing unauthorized use of our products is difficult and we are unable to determine the extent to which piracy of our software exists. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights as well as the laws of the United States. We may have to enter into litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others with respect to our rights. Litigation is generally very expensive and can divert the attention of management from daily operations. Accordingly, any intellectual property litigation could disrupt our operations and harm our operating results. Further, the cost we may need to incur in connection with the defense of such lawsuits, if significant, could harm our financial condition.

We are not aware of any case in which we are infringing the proprietary rights of others. However, third parties may bring infringement claims against us. Any such claim is likely to be time consuming and costly to defend, could cause product delays and could force us to enter into unfavorable royalty or license agreements with third parties. A successful infringement claim against us could require us to enter into a license or royalty agreement with the claimant or develop alternative technology. However, we may not be able to negotiate favorable license or royalty agreements, if any, in connection with such claims and we may fail to develop alternative technology on a timely basis. Accordingly, a successful product infringement claim against us could harm our business and operating results.

Acquisitions of companies or technologies may result in disruptions to our business.

We may make strategic acquisitions of companies, products, or technologies as necessary in order to implement our business strategy. If we make acquisitions and are unable to successfully integrate them with our existing operations, we may not receive the intended benefits of such acquisitions and the revenues and operating results of the combined company may decline. Any acquisition may temporarily disrupt our operations and divert management’s attention from day-to-day operations.

In addition, acquisitions may subject us to unanticipated liabilities or risks, including litigation and the costs and uncertainties related to legal proceedings. For example, we are currently a defendant in litigation related to our acquisition of EngineeringPerformance, Inc, in November 2000. We are unable to predict an outcome for this litigation at this time. As the alleged damages and related claims against the Company are considerable, an unfavorable outcome would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flow.

While we have financed our acquisitions to date primarily through our working capital, we may incur debt or issue equity securities to finance future acquisitions. The issuance of equity securities for any acquisition could be substantially dilutive to our stockholders. In addition, our profitability may suffer due to acquisition-related expenses.

Our operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from computer viruses, human errors, natural disasters, telecommunications failures, intentional acts of vandalism, and other similar events. In particular, our corporate headquarters are located in San Francisco, which is known for its seismic activities. Although we have a disaster recovery plan for critical data and business applications, this does not provide assurance that we would not suffer a business interruption. A significant business interruption would result to losses or damages to our operation and harm our business. Our business interruption insurance may not be adequate to compensate us for losses that might occur, which would result in increased expenses and harm our operating results.

Certain persons have substantial control over us, which could impede stockholder approval of certain transactions.

Our executive officers and directors, in the aggregate, beneficially held 22.7% of our outstanding common stock as of September 30, 2004. In addition, despite their sales of our common stock over the past year, some of our founders who are no longer associated with us continue to hold a significant amount of our common stock. These groups of stockholders can significantly influence all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the approval of equity compensation plans, the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other business combination transactions.

We expect the price of our common stock to remain volatile, making it difficult for our stockholders to predict the return on their investment.

Since our initial public offering, the market price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly in response to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:

Some of our founders, who are no longer associated with the Company, continue to hold significant amounts of our common stock. We cannot control the sales of our common stock by these founders and that may add to the volatility of our stock price.

Provisions of our charter and bylaws and Delaware law could deter takeover attempts that might be beneficial to our stockholders.

Provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws as well as Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. We are subject to the provisions of Delaware law that restrict business combinations with interested stockholders, which may have the effect of inhibiting a non-negotiated merger or other business combinations.

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates primarily relates to our investment portfolio, which at September 30, 2004 included fixed-income securities with a fair value of approximately $50 million. The values of these securities are likely to decline if interest rates increase. However, due to the short maturities of our investments, an immediate 10 percent change in interest rates is not expected to have a material effect on our near-term financial condition or results of operations.

Our operations are conducted primarily in the United States and are denominated in United States Dollars. A potentially growing portion of our sales originate through our European subsidiary and are denominated in Pounds Sterling. From time to time, we enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the Pound Sterling relative to the U.S. Dollar. Gains and losses on these contracts are generally recognized in the consolidated statement of operations at the time that the related transactions being hedged are recognized. Because the effect of movements in currency exchange rates on forward exchange contracts generally offset the related effect on the underlying items being hedged, use of these instruments is not expected to subject us to risks that would otherwise result from changes in currency exchange rates. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We did not use derivative financial instruments in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934) as of the date of this report. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2004 due to the material weakness in our internal controls discussed below.

In connection with restating our financial statements as provided in the amended reports we have filed for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2004, we determined that a material weakness existed in our internal controls over financial reporting, with respect to the reporting of transactions principally conducted by our United Kingdom subsidiary, Embarcadero Europe. This material weakness resulted in revenue being recorded from transactions on a basis other than sell-through, as is required by our stated revenue recognition policy.

In response to the matters identified, we have taken steps to strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting to prevent the recurrence of the circumstances that resulted in our determination to restate our financial statements. To correct the identified weakness in our internal controls, we have taken, or intend to take, the following steps, among others:

We cannot be certain that our remediation efforts will sufficiently cure our identified material weakness prior to December 31, 2004. Furthermore, we have not yet tested the operating effectiveness of the remediated controls. As a result, we may be unable to conclude that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2004.

Information with respect to this item is incorporated by reference to Notes 11 and 13 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The table set forth below describes the shares of common stock repurchased by the Company during the period covered by this report. All shares were repurchased pursuant to the Company’s publicly announced stock repurchase

program approved by the Board of Directors in September 2001, and amended as of July 2002 and July 2004, which as of September 30, 2004 permitted the Company to repurchase up to an aggregate of 3,230,00 shares of common stock. Under this stock repurchase program, depending on market conditions and other factors, the Company may make repurchases from time to time in the open market and in negotiated transactions, including block transactions. This stock repurchase program may be terminated at any time. Numbers in the table below are in thousands, except average price paid per share:

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
