NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except per share amounts)

 

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of MatrixOne, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These accounting principles were applied on a basis consistent with those of the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2004 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2004. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation. The operating results for the three and six month period ended January 1, 2005 may not be indicative of the results expected for any succeeding quarter or the entire fiscal year ending July 2, 2005.

 

The Company operates on a 52 or 53 week fiscal year that ends on the Saturday closest to June 30th and on thirteen or fourteen week fiscal quarters that end on the Saturday closest to September 30th, December 31st and March 31st. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and judgments, which are evaluated on an on-going basis, that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates and judgments. In particular, significant estimates and judgments include those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property and equipment, valuation of deferred tax assets, business combinations, valuation of goodwill and acquired intangible assets, and software license and professional services warranty.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates revenues from licensing its software and providing professional services, training and maintenance and customer support services. The Company executes separate contracts that govern the terms and conditions of each software license and maintenance arrangement and each professional services arrangement. These contracts may be considered together as a single multiple-element arrangement. Revenues under multiple-element arrangements, which may include several different software products or services sold together, are allocated to each element using the residual method.

 

The Company uses the residual method when fair value does not exist for one of the delivered elements in an arrangement. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and subsequently recognized. The Company has established sufficient vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for professional services, training and maintenance and customer support services based on the price charged when these elements are sold separately. Accordingly, software license revenue is recognized under the residual method in arrangements in which software is licensed with professional services, training or maintenance and customer support services.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (continued)

(In thousands, except per share amounts)

 

The Company primarily provides the following four types of software license arrangements:

 

    Perpetual software license – the Company recognizes software license revenues from perpetual licenses under the residual method upon execution of a signed software license agreement, delivery of the software to a customer and determination that collection of a fixed license fee is probable;

 

    Two year or more time-based license – the Company recognizes software license revenues from two year or more time-based licenses under the residual method upon execution of a signed software license agreement, delivery of the software to a customer and determination that collection of a fixed license fee is probable;

 

    Less than two year time-based license - the Company recognizes software license revenues from less than two year time-based licenses ratably over the period of the license arrangement. Since the Company does not have vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for maintenance and customer support for such arrangements, both the software license and maintenance and customer support fees are included in software license revenues; and

 

    Revenue sharing, royalty and subscriber arrangements with and through third-parties – the Company recognizes revenue sharing, royalty and subscriber arrangements with and through third-parties as software license revenue when they are fixed and determinable, generally upon receipt of a statement from the third-party and collection of the fixed fee is probable.

 

If a customer is provided extended payment terms, revenue is recognized when the fees become due. A software license is considered delivered when the customer receives the physical media in accordance with the applicable shipping terms or is provided electronic access to the software files.

 

In accordance with the Company’s agreements with its value-added resellers and distributors (“Alliance Partners”), an Alliance Partner has the right to license the Company’s software to its customers (“end users”). Therefore, the Company has no obligation to the Alliance Partner’s end users. Accordingly, the Company recognizes software license revenues from an Alliance Partner upon receipt of a written confirmation from the Alliance Partner of a noncancellable, binding written arrangement with the ultimate end user, delivery of the software to the Alliance Partner and all other revenue recognition criteria are met.

 

Service revenues include professional services, reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses incurred, training and maintenance and customer support fees. Professional services are not essential to the functionality of the other elements in an arrangement and are accounted for separately. Professional services revenues are primarily derived from time and material contracts and are recognized as the services are performed. Professional services revenues for fixed-price contracts are recognized using a concept of proportional performance based upon the ratio of direct labor costs to expected labor costs. If conditions for acceptance are required, professional services revenues are recognized upon customer acceptance. Customers generally reimburse the Company for the majority of its out-of-pocket expenses incurred during the course of an engagement. The Company does not mark-up or add additional fees to the actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred. Training revenues are recognized as the services are provided.

 

For arrangements that include the licensing of software and the performance of professional services under a fixed-price contract, both the software license revenues and professional services revenues are recognized using a concept of proportional performance based upon the ratio of direct labor costs to expected labor costs.

(In thousands, except per share amounts)

 

Maintenance and customer support fees include the right to unspecified upgrades on a when-and-if-available basis and ongoing technical support. Maintenance and customer support fees are recognized ratably over the term of the contract, generally one year, on a straight-line basis. When a maintenance and customer support fee is included in a software license fee, a portion of the software license fee is allocated to maintenance and customer support fees based on the renewal rate of maintenance and customer support fees.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist of acquired technology, customer relationships, trademarks and trade names acquired through business combinations and the values allocated to these intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related asset. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable and an impairment loss is recognized when it is probable that the estimated cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset.

 

Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment using a two-step approach. The first step is to compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired, but if the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the amount of the impairment loss, if any, must be measured. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

 

No customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues for either the three or six month periods ended January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004. No customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable at January 1, 2005. One customer represented 12.6% of the Company’s accounts receivable at January 3, 2004.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Pursuant to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Plan (the “1996 Plan”) and the Company’s Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Plan (the “1999 Plan”), the Company may grant incentive and nonqualified stock options, stock issuances and opportunities to make direct purchases of stock to employees, directors, officers or consultants of the Company. The Company records stock-based compensation issued to employees and directors (collectively “employees”) using the intrinsic value method and stock-based compensation issued to non-employees using the fair value method. Stock-based compensation is recognized on stock options issued to employees if the option exercise price is less than the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, and stock-based compensation is recognized on all stock options granted to non-employees. During the periods presented, no stock options were issued to employees at an exercise price less than the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, and no stock options were issued to non-employees. Accordingly, no stock-based compensation expense was recorded pursuant to stock options granted during the periods presented.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options.

 

The fair value of stock options granted during the periods indicated have been determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions:

Beginning in fiscal 2006, the Company will be required to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payments” (“SFAS 123(R)”), which requires all share-based payments to employees, including stock options and stock issued under certain employee stock purchase plans, to be recognized in the Company’s financial statements at their fair value. SFAS 123(R) will require the Company to estimate future forfeitures of stock based compensation, while the current pro forma disclosure includes only those options that have been forfeited during the current period. Therefore, the Company believes that the pro forma expense disclosed herein represents a conservative estimate of the amounts that would have been recorded under the provisions of SFAS 123(R). The Company has not yet determined which fair-value method and transitional provision it will follow. The Company is currently evaluating its employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) to determine if changes should be made to minimize compensation charges resulting from the adoption of SFAS 123(R). If the Company had accounted for its ESPP in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R), it would have recorded compensation expense of approximately $118 and $430 for the three and six months ended January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004, respectively.

 

In connection with certain stock option grants to employees in fiscal 2000 and 1999, the Company recorded deferred stock-based compensation totaling $17,654. Deferred stock-based compensation represents the difference between the option exercise price and the deemed fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Deferred stock-based compensation, a component of stockholders’ equity, is amortized through charges to operations over the vesting period of the options, which is generally four years. Stock-based compensation was $188 and $567 for the three and six months ended January 3, 2004, respectively. The amortization of deferred stock-based compensation terminated during the three months ended January 3, 2004.

 

Note 2. Business Combinations

 

On August 4, 2004, the Company acquired Synchronicity Software, Inc. (“Synchronicity”), a provider of electronic design management, team collaboration and intellectual property reuse solutions for the global electronics industry for cash consideration of approximately $4,529 and the issuance of approximately 2,304 shares of MatrixOne common stock. The acquisition of Synchronicity will add new solutions for semiconductor and electronics design management to the solutions portfolio of the Company, expand the Company’s customer base and deepen the Company’s domain expertise in the electronics industry. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired entity are included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods subsequent to the acquisition date.

 

The total purchase price for Synchronicity was as follows:

 

Value of 2,304 shares of MatrixOne common stock issued, net of issuance costs of $65

   $ 12,306

Cash paid to and on behalf of former Synchronicity security holders

     4,529

Estimated direct transaction costs

     862
    

Total estimated purchase price

   $ 17,697
    

 

The purchase price was fixed and there was no contingent consideration. The value of MatrixOne shares issued was $5.37 per share, based on an average of the closing prices of MatrixOne’s common stock on the Nasdaq National Market for the two days up to, after and including the measurement date of July 15, 2004. The direct transaction costs represent the estimated expenses incurred by MatrixOne directly related to the Synchronicity acquisition. The final amount of these costs may change within the purchase price allocation period, in which case, the initial purchase price allocation would change, resulting in a change to goodwill.

The total purchase price, as shown in the preceding table, is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities of Synchronicity assumed based on their fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The following table presents the preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

The Company performed a review to determine whether all tangible assets and liabilities were recorded in Synchronicity’s general ledger in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management of the Company believes that the historical value of the acquired tangible assets and liabilities approximates their respective fair values. Detailed discussions were held with Synchronicity’s financial, operating, marketing, and engineering personnel concerning the nature of the assets acquired. Management also performed diligence as to the existence and materiality of possible intangible assets such as developed technology, customer relationships, trademarks and trade names and in-process research and development. In addition, the Company performed analyses of audited and unaudited historical financial statements, forecasted financial information and other financial and operational data concerning Synchronicity.

 

The estimation of the fair value of intangible assets determined by the Company with the assistance of an independent appraisal firm, from which the company has received a valuation report, involved the following steps:

 

    Preparation of discounted cash flow analysis;

 

    Estimation of the fair value of tangible assets;

 

    Determination of the fair value of identified material intangible assets;

 

    Determination of the fair value of developed technology and in-process research and development using a cash flow allocation model;

 

    Allocation of the residual purchase price to other intangible assets generally in the nature of goodwill; and

 

    Reconciliation of the individual asset returns with the weighted average cost of capital.

 

An after-tax discount rate of 18%, based on Synchronicity’s weighted average cost of capital, was utilized to discount the net cash flows of developed technology, customer relationships and trademarks and trade names to their present value. The weighted average cost of capital reflected the anticipated market acceptance and penetration of Synchronicity’s products, market growth rates and risks related to potential changes in future target markets.

Developed technology represents products that have reached technological feasibility and thus are capitalizable and consist of the existing Synchronicity product lines. Developed technology includes processes and trade secrets developed through years of experience in design and development of Synchronicity’s products. The value assigned to developed technology was determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows to be generated from Synchronicity’s existing products to their present value. The estimates of revenue used to value the developed technology were based on estimates of relevant market sizes and growth factors, expected trends in technology, and the nature and expected timing of new product introductions by Synchronicity, the combined Company and its competitors.

 

Customer relationships represent the value assigned to Synchronicity’s installed base of customers based on various assumptions such as probability of additional revenue transactions with these existing customers and the percentage retention of these customers. The installed base of customers represents a significant part of Synchronicity’s business as Synchronicity had contract renewal rates of approximately 90% for existing customers. In addition, Synchronicity has consulting and training engagements with numerous customers.

 

The value of the trademarks and trade names was determined based on estimates of the expected royalties to be earned over the estimated life of the trademarks and trade names.

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price for Synchronicity over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets. Of the total purchase price, $10,108 was allocated to goodwill. Goodwill resulting from business combinations completed subsequent to June 30, 2001 is not amortized but instead is reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. In the event that management determines that goodwill has become impaired, the combined Company will incur an accounting charge for the amount of the impairment during the fiscal quarter in which the determination is made.

 

On the date of the acquisition, the combined Company committed to a plan to exit certain activities of Synchronicity at a cost of approximately $806 in the aggregate, which represented a liability to the combined Company. These costs were included in the purchase price allocation as acquisition liabilities. These acquisition liabilities relate to certain severance and other employee benefits related to the planned termination of ten Synchronicity employees at a cost of approximately $641, and the cost of vacating a Synchronicity facility of approximately $165. The Company expects to pay severance and other related benefits and the lease termination costs through October 2005. Should the estimates of these acquisition liabilities change within the purchase price allocation period, there will be a resulting change to the balance of goodwill.

 

The significant components of the exit plan, cash payments and remaining accrual as of January 1, 2005 were as follows:

The non-cash adjustment of $29 represents the reversal of certain severance and other employee benefits related to the retention of two employees previously planned to be terminated.

 

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined results of the Company and Synchronicity as if the Synchronicity acquisition had taken place on June 29, 2003. The pro forma amounts give effect to certain adjustments, including the amortization of intangible assets, increased commission expense, decreased interest income, incremental rent expense and certain one-time charges recorded by Synchronicity pursuant to the acquisition. This pro forma information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations as they would have been if the business had been managed by the Company during these periods and is not indicative of results that may be obtained in the future.

On November 12, 2004 the Company acquired certain intangible assets of Centor Software Corporation (“Centor”), a provider of software for documenting and validating regulatory compliance with the European Union directives that target banned substances and recycling for the automotive and electronics industries, for cash consideration of $1,750 (the “Centor acquisition”). The acquired intangible assets include certain existing technology, customer and technology agreements, and all trademarks and trade names. The Centor acquisition will add new solutions for regulatory compliance to the solutions portfolio of the Company and expand the Company’s customer base. Since the Company has substantially continued the operating activities of Centor, the transaction was accounted for as a business combination using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of Centor are included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods subsequent to the acquisition date.

 

The total purchase price for the Centor acquisition was as follows:

 

Cash paid to Centor

   $ 1,750

Estimated direct transaction costs

     112
    

Total estimated purchase price

   $ 1,862
    

 

The purchase price was fixed and there was no contingent consideration. The direct transaction costs represent the estimated expenses incurred by MatrixOne directly related to the Centor acquisition. The final amount of these costs may change within the purchase price allocation period, in which case, the initial purchase price allocation would change, resulting in a change to goodwill.

The Company has retained an independent appraisal firm to assist in determining the fair value of intangible assets acquired. Based on the preliminary valuation report, approximately 6% of the total purchase price is estimated to pertain to customer relationships, which have an estimated useful life of 5 years. Since the valuation report has not been finalized and any related amortization would be immaterial, the Company reported the entire purchase price as goodwill as of January 1, 2005, and therefore, the Company did not record amortization expense during the three and six month periods ended January 1, 2005. The Company expects to finalize the valuation report during the three month period ended April 2, 2005. The results of Centor’s operations would not have had a material impact on the Company’s historical operating results.

Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Contingencies

 

On April 19, 2002, a consolidated amended class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint, which superseded five virtually identical complaints that had been filed from July 24, 2001 to September 5, 2001, names as defendants the Company, two of its officers, and certain underwriters involved in the Company’s initial public offering of common stock (“IPO”). The complaint is allegedly brought on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s common stock during the period from February 29, 2000 to December 6, 2000 and asserts, among other things, that the Company’s IPO prospectus and registration statement violated federal securities laws because they contained material misrepresentations and/or omissions regarding the conduct of the Company’s IPO underwriters in allocating shares in the Company’s IPO to the underwriters’ customers, and that the Company and the two named officers engaged in fraudulent practices with respect to the underwriters’ conduct. The action seeks damages, fees and costs associated with the litigation, and interest. The Company and its officers and directors believe that the allegations in the complaint are without merit and have defended the litigation vigorously. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and unpredictable, however, and there can be no guarantee as to the ultimate outcome of this pending lawsuit.

(In thousands, except per share amounts)

 

Pursuant to a stipulation between the parties, the Company’s two named officers were dismissed from the lawsuit, without prejudice, on October 9, 2002. On February 19, 2003, the Court ruled on a motion to dismiss the complaint that had been filed by the Company, along with the three hundred plus other publicly-traded companies that have been named by various plaintiffs in substantially similar lawsuits. The Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the claim filed against it under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, but denied the Company’s motion to dismiss the claim filed against it under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as it denied the motions under this statute for virtually every other company sued in the substantially similar lawsuits.

 

In June 2003, the Company, implementing the determination made by a special independent committee of the Board of Directors, elected to participate in a proposed settlement agreement with the plaintiffs in this litigation. If ultimately approved by the Court, this proposed settlement would result in a dismissal, with prejudice, of all claims in the litigation against the Company and against any of the other issuer defendants who elect to participate in the proposed settlement, together with the current or former officers and directors of participating issuers who were named as individual defendants. The proposed settlement does not provide for the resolution of any claims against the underwriter defendants, and the litigation as against those defendants is continuing. The proposed settlement provides that the class members in the class action cases brought against the participating issuer defendants will be guaranteed a recovery of $1.0 billion by insurers of the participating issuer defendants. If recoveries totaling $1.0 billion or more are obtained by the class members from the underwriter defendants, however, the monetary obligations to the class members under the proposed settlement will be satisfied. In addition, the Company and any other participating issuer defendants will be required to assign to the class members certain claims that they may have against the underwriters of their IPOs.

 

The proposed settlement contemplates that any amounts necessary to fund the settlement or settlement-related expenses would come from participating issuers’ directors and officers liability insurance policy proceeds, as opposed to funds of the participating issuer defendants themselves. A participating issuer defendant could be required to contribute to the costs of the settlement if that issuer’s insurance coverage were insufficient to pay that issuer’s allocable share of the settlement costs. The Company expects that its insurance proceeds will be sufficient for these purposes and that it will not otherwise be required to contribute to the proposed settlement.

 

Formal settlement documents, including a stipulation of settlement and related documents, have now been filed with the Court. The plaintiffs in the case against the Company, along with the plaintiffs in the other related cases in which issuer defendants have agreed to the proposed settlement, have requested preliminary approval by the Court of the proposed settlement, including the form of the notice of the proposed settlement that will be sent to members of the proposed classes in each settling case. Certain underwriters who were named as defendants in the settling cases, and who are not parties to the proposed settlement, have filed an opposition to preliminary approval of the proposed settlement of those cases. In mid-September, the Court asked lead counsel for the plaintiffs and for the issuer defendants for additional information concerning the adequacy of the settlement amount and how plaintiffs intend to allocate any consideration paid under the settlement among the more than 300 separate class actions that are included in the settlement. Counsel for the plaintiffs and for the issuer defendants provided to the Court the information that it had requested. On December 14, 2004, the Court asked lead counsel for the plaintiffs and for the issuer defendants for additional information concerning the proposed settlement. Counsel for the plaintiffs and for the issuer defendants are in the process of providing to the Court the information that it has requested.

Consummation of the proposed settlement is conditioned upon, among other things, receipt of both preliminary and final Court approval. If the Court preliminarily approves the proposed settlement, it will direct that notice of the terms of the proposed settlement be published in a newspaper and mailed to all proposed class members and schedule a fairness hearing, at which objections to the proposed settlement will be heard. Thereafter, the Court will determine whether to grant final approval to the proposed settlement.

 

If the proposed settlement described above is not consummated, the Company intends to continue to defend the litigation vigorously. Moreover, if the proposed settlement is not consummated, the Company believes that the underwriters may have an obligation to indemnify the Company for the legal fees and other costs of defending this suit. While the Company cannot guarantee the outcome of these proceedings, the Company believes that the final result of these actions will have no material effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Indemnification

 

The Company licenses software and sells services to its customers pursuant to contracts, which the Company refers to as a Software License Agreement (“SLA”) and Master Services Agreement (“MSA”), respectively. Each SLA and MSA contains the relevant terms of the contractual arrangement with the customer and generally includes certain provisions for indemnifying the customer against losses, expenses, and liabilities from damages that are finally awarded against the customer by a court of competent jurisdiction or that are agreed to by the Company in a written settlement agreement in the event the Company’s software or services performed by the Company are found to infringe upon a patent, copyright, trademark, or other proprietary right of a third-party. The SLA and MSA generally limit the scope of and remedies for such indemnification obligations in a variety of industry-standard respects, including but not limited to, certain time and geography based scope limitations and a right to replace an infringing product.

 

The Company believes its internal development processes and other policies and practices limit its exposure related to the indemnification provisions of the SLA and MSA. In addition, the Company requires its employees to sign a proprietary information and inventions agreement, which assigns the rights of its employees’ development work to the Company. To date, the Company has not had to reimburse any of its customers for any losses related to these indemnification provisions and no material claims are outstanding as of January 1, 2005. For several reasons, including the lack of prior indemnification claims and the lack of a monetary liability limit for certain infringement cases under the SLA and MSA, the Company cannot determine the maximum amount of potential future payments, if any, related to such indemnification provisions.

 

Note 6. Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the shares used in the calculation of basic net loss per share plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, such as stock options, using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share if their effect is antidilutive.

 

Potentially dilutive common stock options aggregating 11,856 and 10,065 shares for the three months ended January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004, respectively, and 12,022 and 10,261 shares for the six months ended January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004, respectively, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

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

 

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are typically denoted in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q by the phrases “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “plans” and similar phrases (as well as other words or expressions referencing future events, conditions or circumstances). Our actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including the factors set forth in “Cautionary Statements” beginning on page 39 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes for the periods specified. Further reference should be made to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2004.

 

Business Overview

Synchronicity has approximately 120 electronics industry customers, including 13 of the largest 15 semiconductor companies. The combination of Synchronicity and MatrixOne provides solutions for companies that have high-value electronic content in their products. The acquisition of Synchronicity has added new solutions for semiconductor and electronics design management to the solutions portfolio of MatrixOne, expanded our customer base and deepened our domain expertise in the electronics industry. Our customers, who come from many industries including automotive, aerospace, consumer, machinery, medical device and high technology, are being confronted with new design, manufacturing and quality challenges as the electronics content in their products increase and new product development cycle times compress. To deal with these challenges, our customers look to us to provide an integrated development environment that will enable them to effectively manage not only the mechanical design aspect of their products, but also the electronics and software components. The combined solution of MatrixOne and Synchronicity allows MatrixOne to address a new and rapidly emerging market for PLM by directly connecting the electronic design environment to the extended enterprise. Together, MatrixOne and Synchronicity solutions are designed to enable global design teams to work together with their development partners, customers and suppliers to reduce design and development costs, leverage design expertise, improve quality and accelerate time to market.

 

On November 12, 2004, we acquired certain intangible assets of Centor Software Corporation (“Centor”), a provider of software for documenting and validating regulatory compliance with the European Union directives that target banned substances and recycling for the automotive and electronics industries (the “Centor acquisition”). The Centor acquisition will add new solutions for regulatory compliance to the solutions portfolio of MatrixOne and expands our customer base by the addition of approximately 20 new customers. Many of our

These personnel capture and model the specific business processes that reflect our customers’ planning, design, manufacturing, sales and service practices. We also provide training and maintenance and customer support services to continuously enhance the value of our products to our customers. In addition, we have a global network of systems integrators who are experienced in providing implementation and integration services to our customers. Many of our customers use their preferred systems integrators or perform their own implementation.

 

Our strategy for long-term, sustainable growth in revenue and earnings is focused on achieving a leadership position within the PLM market by effectively enabling our customers to achieve measurable improvements in their business by unifying and streamlining processes across the product lifecycle. We license our PLM solutions primarily in eight industrial markets including aerospace and defense, automotive, consumer products, financial services, machinery, high technology, medical devices, and the process industries. To gain market leadership in each of these industrial markets, a core part of our growth strategy is to: develop and market focused variations of our core product offerings to meet the needs of industry-specific business processes; develop the deep domain expertise of our workforce in the industrial markets in which we compete; and develop and leverage alliance partnerships with key system integration partners, original equipment manufacturers, and complementary hardware and software providers.

 

We also plan to leverage our unique strengths in the broader electronics market, which transcends several of the vertical markets in which we compete, including:

 

    medical devices, where electronics has become the competitive differentiator for many key industry products such as imaging and monitoring equipment;

 

    aerospace and defense, where electronics, such as computing and communications systems are key drivers; and

 

    automotive, where electronics are quickly becoming a major part of the value chain.

 

Our strategy to exploit these opportunities in the electronics market is strengthened with our acquisition of Synchronicity due to the enhancement of our position in the semiconductor industry, which is the engine of the global electronics market. Together with Synchronicity, we expect to bring unique solutions to companies involved in electronic design. As a result of our acquisitions of Synchronicity and Centor, our unique alliances with Cadence, IBM and Intel, and our strong position with many of the world’s most innovative high-tech companies, we believe we are better positioned for growth in the global electronics market.

Financial Overview

 

On August 4, 2004, we acquired Synchronicity for cash consideration of approximately $4.5 million and the issuance of approximately 2.3 million shares, and on November 12, 2004, we acquired certain intangible assets of Centor for cash consideration of approximately $1.8 million. These acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations of Synchronicity and Centor are included in our statements of operations for all periods subsequent to the respective acquisition dates.

 

We generate revenues from licensing our software and providing professional services, training and maintenance and customer support services through our offices in the United States, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Singapore and the Netherlands and indirectly through our Alliance Partner network throughout Europe and Asia/Pacific. Revenues by geographic region fluctuate each period based on the timing, size and number of software license and professional services transactions and the fluctuation in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar. We expect our revenues by geographic region to continue to fluctuate in the future. Our total revenues by major geographic region, including exports into such regions, for the three and six months ended January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004 were as follows:

Our international subsidiaries generally invoice their customers and pay their employees and suppliers in local currency. Therefore, our revenues and expenses from these international subsidiaries, when translated to U.S. Dollars, are subject to foreign currency risk. We currently do not enter into contracts or agreements to minimize our exposure to the effects of changes in foreign currency when the results of our international subsidiaries are translated to U.S. Dollars. Accordingly, if the dollar weakens relative to foreign currencies, our revenues and expenses would increase when stated in U.S. Dollars. Conversely, if the dollar strengthens, our revenues and expenses would decrease. If the revenues from our international subsidiaries for the three and six months ended January 1, 2005 had been translated at exchange rates for the comparable period a year ago, our total revenues would have been approximately $1.2 million and $1.9 million lower, respectively.

 

We have incurred significant costs to develop our technology and products, market, license, sell, implement and support our products and services, and maintain an infrastructure to support our global operations. These costs have historically exceeded our total revenues. As of January 1, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $101.7 million. If our operating expenses are higher than we anticipate or our revenues are lower than projected, we may incur significant net losses in fiscal 2005 and beyond.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments, which we evaluate on an on-going basis, that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates and judgments under different assumptions or conditions.

 

We believe the following sets forth the most important accounting policies we used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and those that affect our more significant estimates and judgments, which have been reviewed by our Disclosure Committee, consisting primarily of our senior management team, and the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We generate revenues from licensing our software and providing professional services, training and maintenance and customer support services. We execute separate contracts that govern the terms and conditions of each software license and maintenance arrangement and each professional services arrangement. These contracts may be considered together as a single multiple-element arrangement. Revenues under multiple-element arrangements, which may include several different software products or services sold together, are allocated to each element using the residual method.

 

We use the residual method when fair value does not exist for one of the delivered elements in an arrangement. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and subsequently recognized. We have established sufficient vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for professional services, training and maintenance and customer support services based on the price charged when these elements are sold separately. Accordingly, software license revenue is recognized under the residual method in arrangements in which software is licensed with professional services, training or maintenance and customer support services.

 

We primarily provide the following four types of software license arrangements:

 

    Perpetual software license - we recognize software license revenues from perpetual licenses under the residual method upon execution of a signed software license agreement, delivery of the software to a customer and determination that collection of a fixed license fee is probable;

 

    Two year or more time-based license - we recognize software license revenues from two year or more time-based licenses under the residual method upon execution of a signed software license agreement, delivery of the software to a customer and determination that collection of a fixed license fee is probable;

 

    Less than two year time-based license - we recognize software license revenues from less than two year time-based licenses ratably over the period of the license arrangement. Since we do not have vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for maintenance and customer support for such arrangements, both the software license and maintenance and customer support fees are included in software license revenues; and

 

20


Table of Contents
    Revenue sharing, royalty and subscriber arrangements with and through third-parties – we recognize revenue sharing, royalty and subscriber arrangements with and through third-parties as software license revenue when they are fixed and determinable, generally upon receipt of a statement from the third-party and collection of the fixed fee is probable.

 

If a customer is provided extended payment terms, revenue is recognized when the fees become due. A software license is considered delivered when the customer receives the physical media in accordance with the applicable shipping terms or is provided electronic access to the software files.

 

In accordance with our agreements with our value-added resellers and distributors (“Alliance Partners”), an Alliance Partner has the right to license our software to its customers (“end users”). Therefore, we have no obligation to the Alliance Partner’s end users. Accordingly, we recognize software license revenues from an Alliance Partner upon receipt of a written confirmation from the Alliance Partner of a noncancellable, binding written arrangement with the ultimate end user, delivery of the software to the Alliance Partner and all other revenue recognition criteria are met.

 

Service revenues include professional services, reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses incurred, training and maintenance and customer support fees. Professional services are not essential to the functionality of the other elements in an arrangement and are accounted for separately. Professional services revenues are primarily derived from time and material contracts and are recognized as the services are performed. Professional services revenues for fixed-price contracts are recognized using a concept of proportional performance based upon the ratio of direct labor costs to expected labor costs. If conditions for acceptance are required, professional services revenues are recognized upon customer acceptance. Our customers generally reimburse us for the majority of our out-of-pocket expenses incurred during the course of an engagement. We do not mark-up or add additional fees to the actual out-of-pocket expenses we incur. Training revenues are recognized as the services are provided.

 

For arrangements that include the licensing of software and the performance of professional services under a fixed-price contract, both the software license revenues and professional services revenues are recognized using a concept of proportional performance based upon the ratio of direct labor costs to expected labor costs.

 

Maintenance and customer support fees include the right to unspecified upgrades on a when-and-if-available basis and ongoing technical support. Maintenance and customer support fees are recognized ratably over the term of the contract, generally one year, on a straight-line basis. When a maintenance and customer support fee is included in a software license fee, we allocate a portion of the software license fee to maintenance and customer support fees based on the renewal rate of maintenance and customer support fees.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

We periodically assess the collectibility of customer accounts receivable. We maintain an allowance for estimated losses resulting from uncollectible customer accounts receivable. In estimating this allowance, we consider customer specific factors such as historical collection experience, current credit worthiness, the aggregate amount due, age of the receivable and general economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. We also consider factors such as the overall balance and aging of our accounts receivable, as well as customer and geographic concentrations. Actual customer collections could differ materially from our estimates. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce a materially different allowance. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $1.5 million at both January 1, 2005 and July 3, 2004.

 

21


Table of Contents

Property and Equipment

 

We estimate the useful lives of our property and equipment, and we record depreciation on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of our property and equipment. We regularly review our estimate of the useful lives and net book value of our property and equipment in order to determine if events and circumstances, such as changes in technology, product obsolescence and changes in our business, may require a change in the estimated useful lives of our property and equipment or recognition of an impairment loss, both of which would increase our operating expenses.

 

Deferred Tax Assets

 

Under applicable accounting criteria, we record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the estimated amount that is more likely than not to be realized. During our assessment of the valuation allowance, we consider future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies on a consolidated basis and in the tax jurisdictions in which we operate. We have recorded a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets due to the fact it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We regularly evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets and may adjust the valuation allowance based on such analysis.

 

Accounting for Business Combinations

 

We are required to allocate the purchase price of business combinations to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Such a valuation requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets.

 

Critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets include but are not limited to:

 

    future expected cash flows from software license sales, maintenance and customer support agreements, consulting contracts, customer contracts, acquired workforce and acquired developed technologies and trademarks and trade names;

 

    expected costs to develop the in-process research and development into commercially viable products and estimating cash flows from the projects when completed;

 

    the acquired company’s brand awareness and market position, as well as assumptions about the period of time the acquired brand will continue to be used by the combined company; and

 

    discount rates.

 

Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at that time, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur.

 

Our estimates associated with the accounting for these acquisitions may change as additional information becomes available regarding the assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulting in changes in the purchase price allocation. In addition, we estimate the useful lives of our intangible assets based upon the expected period over which the Company anticipates generating economic benefits from the related intangible asset.

Goodwill Impairment

 

Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires making judgments about the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value of the reporting units. We have determined that we have one reporting segment (see Note 10 of our Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Fiscal Year Ended July 3, 2004 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K). Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit include estimating future cash flows and determining appropriate discount rates. Changes in these judgments, estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value for the reporting unit and therefore the determination as to the existence or size of any impairment. Any impairment losses recorded in the future could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Valuation of Long-Lived Intangible Assets

 

We are required to record an impairment charge on finite-lived intangible assets when we determine that the carrying value of these intangible assets may not be recoverable. As a result of the existence of one or more indicators of impairment, we measure any impairment of intangible assets based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by us to be commensurate with the risk inherent in our business model. Our estimates of cash flows require significant judgment based on our historical results and anticipated results and are subject to many factors. Significant management judgment is required in: identifying a triggering event that arises from a change in circumstances; forecasting future operating results; and estimating the proceeds from the disposition of long-lived or intangible assets. Changes or inaccuracies in our judgments, estimates and assumptions could materially impact our determination of the existence or size of any impairment. We may be required to record material impairment charges should different conditions prevail or different judgments be made.

 

Software License and Professional Services Warranty

 

We generally provide a 90 day warranty on our software products. Our software products are generally warranted to perform in all material aspects as described in the applicable software product documentation and the media in which the software is delivered is warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. To date, our software product warranty expense has not been material.

 

Our professional services are generally warranted to be performed in a workmanlike manner. In the event the customer requests the work be corrected, we generally will provide these additional professional services at no charge to comply with our warranty obligations and to ensure customer satisfaction.

 

We estimate our professional services warranty liability based on historical activity. Warranty expense is included in cost of services. If our actual warranty activities differ from these estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required and result in additional charges to cost of services. We primarily satisfy our warranty obligations by providing in-kind services. Our warranty accrual was $0.6 million and $0.8 million at January 1, 2005 and July 3, 2004, respectively. For additional information regarding the activity related to our warranty accrual, refer to Note 4 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Software license revenues also increased due of the addition of the Synchronicity suite of products. Software license revenues from new customers were $2.8 million for the three months ended January 1, 2005 compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended January 3, 2004.

 

During the three months ended January 1, 2005, software license revenues in Asia/Pacific increased due to an increase in software license transactions from both new and existing customers. During the three months ended January 1, 2005, software license revenues in both Europe and North America increased primarily due to a software license transaction in excess of $1.0 million with an existing customer in each region and an increase in software license revenues from both new and existing customers.

Table of Contents

Software license revenues from our Business Process Applications increased during the three months ended January 1, 2005 due to incremental software license revenue related to the addition of the Synchronicity suite of products, in addition to continued adoption of our Business Process Applications by both new and existing customers. Software license revenues from our Enterprise Integration Products increased primarily due to implementation expansion by existing customers. Software license revenues from our Enterprise Integration Products also increased due to the introduction of several new products and software license revenues from new customers.

 

Service revenues. We provide services to our customers and systems integrators consisting of professional services, training and maintenance and customer support services. Our service revenues also include reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses incurred. Our professional services, which include implementation and consulting services, are primarily provided on a time and materials basis. Typically, our customers reimburse us for the majority of our out-of-pocket expenses incurred during the course of an engagement. We do not mark-up or add additional fees to the actual out-of-pocket expenses we incur. We also offer training services to our customers, distributors and systems integrators either in our offices throughout the world or at customer locations. Customers that license our products generally purchase annually renewable maintenance contracts, which provide customers with the right to receive unspecified software upgrades and technical support over the term of the contract. The components of our services revenues for the three months ended January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004 were as follows:

Service revenues increased during the three months ended January 1, 2005 as a result of an increase in maintenance revenues related to incremental maintenance revenues related to Synchronicity, maintenance revenues from new customers and back maintenance from existing customers. In addition, services revenues increased due to the incremental consulting revenue related to Synchronicity, new consulting projects and expansion of existing consulting projects. Training revenues can fluctuate from period to period based on the timing of new and existing customers attending training classes and customer purchases of web-based training products.

 

Cost of software licenses. Cost of software licenses primarily consists of royalties paid to third-parties for certain Business Process Applications and Enterprise Integration products licensed to our customers and amortization of purchased technology related to business combinations. Cost of software licenses also includes the cost of manuals and product documentation, production media used to deliver our products and shipping costs. Our cost of software licenses fluctuates from period to period due to changes in the mix of software licensed, the extent to which we pay royalties to third-parties on our Business Process Applications and our Enterprise Integration products and the amount of amortization of prepaid software royalty fees.

Cost of software licenses increased during the three months ended January 1, 2005 primarily due to increased royalties of $0.8 million related to an increase in software license revenues from our Enterprise Integration Products, offset by a decrease in minimum amortization expense of $0.6 million related to certain prepaid royalties for our Business Process Applications. Amortization of purchased technology relates to the identified intangible assets purchased in the Synchronicity acquisition. We expect to incur amortization expense of approximately $0.2 million per quarter and approximately $0.4 million for the remainder of fiscal 2005. We may complete other acquisitions throughout fiscal year 2005, which may result in an increase in amortization of intangible assets such as purchased technology.

 

Cost of services. Cost of services includes salaries and related expenses for internal services personnel and costs of contracting with independent systems integrators to provide consulting services. Cost of services fluctuates based on the mix of internal professional services personnel and more expensive independent systems integrators used for professional services engagements. Our gross margins may fluctuate based on the actual costs incurred to provide professional services.

Total gross profit and gross margin increased during the three months ended January 1, 2005 primarily due to an increase in the proportion of our total revenues derived from software license revenues, improvement in gross margin on software license revenues as a result of a decrease in minimum amortization expense related to our Business Process Applications, and continuing improvement in our gross margin on service revenues due to an increase in maintenance revenues and improved utilization of our professional services personnel.

 

Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses include marketing costs, such as public relations and advertising, trade shows, marketing materials and customer user group meetings, and selling costs such as sales training events and commissions. Selling and marketing costs may fluctuate based on the timing of trade shows and user group events and the amount of sales commissions, which vary based upon revenues.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets consists of the amortization of the identified intangible assets related to customer relationships and trademarks and trade names acquired in the Synchronicity acquisition, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. We expect to incur amortization expense of approximately $0.1 million per quarter and approximately $0.2 million for the remainder of fiscal 2005. We may complete other acquisitions throughout fiscal year 2005, which may result in an increase in amortization of intangible assets such as customer relationships and trademarks and trade names.

Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation relates to the issuance of stock options to employees with exercise prices below the deemed fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. In connection with certain stock option grants during fiscal 2000 and 1999, we recorded deferred stock-based compensation totaling approximately $17.7 million. Deferred stock-based compensation represents the difference between the option exercise price and the deemed fair value of our common stock on the date of the option grant. Deferred stock-based compensation, a component of stockholders’ equity, is amortized through charges to operations over the vesting period of the options, which is generally four years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal source of liquidity is our current cash and cash equivalents. Our ability to generate cash from operations is dependent upon our ability to generate revenue from licensing our software and providing related services, as well as our ability to manage our operating costs and net assets. A decrease in the demand for our software and related services or unanticipated increases in our operating costs would likely have an adverse effect on our liquidity and cash generated from operations. The following sets forth information relating to our liquidity:

Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended January 1, 2005 resulted primarily from our net loss and a decrease in deferred revenue and an increase in accounts receivable. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended January 3, 2004 primarily resulted from our net loss.

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended January 1, 2005 reflects net cash payments related to acquisitions aggregating approximately $6.5 million and our investments in computer hardware and software, leasehold improvements and office furniture and equipment of $0.9 million. The net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended January 3, 2004 reflects $0.6 million of investments in computer hardware and software and leasehold improvements related to the consolidation of certain offices in conjunction with our October 2003 restructuring program. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended January 3, 2004 also includes a $1.5 million increase in other assets related to a long-term accounts receivable from a customer due in September 2005, offset by collection of certain security deposits on leased facilities. We expect that capital expenditures for the next 12 months will be approximately $2.5 million, primarily for the acquisition of computer hardware and software and leasehold improvements.

 

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for both the six months ended January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004 include the proceeds from stock option exercises and purchases of common stock under employee stock purchase plan aggregating $1.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Additionally, net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended January 1, 2005 includes the $1.5 million repayment of a line of credit assumed in the Synchronicity acquisition.

 

In connection with the acquisition of Synchronicity, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated as of August 4, 2004 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), providing that we prepare and file a “shelf” Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or such other appropriate form in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement) to register shares of MatrixOne common stock received in connection with the acquisition. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we were required to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933 as soon as possible after the filing thereof and to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective until such date as is the earlier of (x) the date when all shares of MatrixOne common stock covered by such Registration Statement have been sold, (y) the date on which all MatrixOne common stock covered by such Registration Statement may be sold without registration pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act or (z) the first anniversary of the date such Registration Statement is declared effective. The Registration Statement on Form S-3 was declared effective on December 9, 2004.

Each selling stockholder of Synchronicity has agreed that from and after August 4, 2004, through the last date upon which we are obligated to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, without our prior written consent, such selling stockholder will not (a) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of the shares registered thereunder or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any of the shares registered thereunder, whether any such transaction described in (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of shares registered thereunder, in cash or otherwise, except for: (i) sales of shares pursuant to the Registration Statement (A) of up to 25% of the shares registered thereunder owned by such selling stockholder as of August 4, 2004, upon the Securities and Exchange Commission declaration of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and thereafter, (B) of up to an additional 10% of the shares registered thereunder owned by such selling stockholder as of August 4, 2004, upon the two week anniversary of the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and thereafter and (C) of up to an additional 5% of the shares registered thereunder owned by such selling stockholder as of August 4, 2004, upon each of third through fifteenth weekly anniversaries of the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and thereafter, or (ii) (A) transfers of shares registered thereunder as a bona fide gift or gifts or (B) distributions of shares registered thereunder to limited partners of such selling stockholder. Additionally, the selling stockholders have agreed not to sell more than 25% of the shares registered thereunder owned by such selling stockholder as of August 4, 2004 pursuant to the Registration Statement in any one week.

 

We currently anticipate that our current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our anticipated cash requirements for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. However, we may need to raise additional funds in order to fund an expansion of our business, develop new products, enhance existing products and services, or acquire complementary products, businesses or technologies. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders may be reduced, our stockholders may experience additional dilution, and such securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our stockholders. Additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund an expansion of our business, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities or develop or enhance our services or products would be significantly limited.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Beginning in fiscal 2006, we will be required to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payments” (“SFAS 123(R)”), which requires all share-based payments to employees, including stock options and stock issued under certain employee stock purchase plans, to be recognized in the financial statements at their fair value. SFAS 123(R) will require us to estimate future forfeitures of stock based compensation, while the current pro forma disclosure includes only those options that have been forfeited during the current period. Therefore, we believe that the pro forma expense currently disclosed in Note 1 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q represents a conservative estimate of the amounts that would have been recorded under the provisions of SFAS 123(R). We have not yet determined which fair value method and transitional provision we will follow. We are currently evaluating our employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) to determine if changes should be made to minimize compensation charges resulting from the adoption of SFAS 123(R). If we had accounted for our ESPP in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R), we would have recorded compensation expense of approximately $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Cautionary Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or projected in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth in the following cautionary statements and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. If any of the following risks were to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that event, the trading price of our common stock would decline. Any forward looking statement should be considered in light of the factors discussed below.

 

We Have a History of Losses, and We May Incur Losses in the Future and May Not Achieve or Maintain Profitability

 

We have incurred substantial net losses in the past, and we may incur net losses in future periods. We incurred net losses of approximately $2.3 million, $16.2 million and $24.5 million in the six months ended January 1, 2005, fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003, respectively. As of January 1, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $101.7 million. We will need to generate increases in revenues to achieve and maintain profitability, and we may not be able to do so. If our revenues grow more slowly than we anticipate or decline or if our operating expenses increase more than we expect or cannot be reduced in the event of lower revenues, our business will be significantly and adversely affected. Although we have implemented restructuring programs to better align our operations and cost structure with market conditions, these programs may not be sufficient for us to achieve profitability in any future period. Even if we achieve profitability in the future on a quarterly or annual basis, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability. Failure to achieve profitability or achieve and sustain the level of profitability expected by investors and securities analysts may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

The Uncertain Computer Software and Services Market and Worldwide Economic Conditions May Result in Decreased Revenues and Operating Losses

 

The revenue growth and profitability of our business depends on the overall demand for computer software and services, particularly in the market segments in which we compete. If the demand for computer software and services softens or fails to grow as a result of the uncertain economy, our revenues may decrease resulting in operating losses. In this uncertain economy, we may not be able to effectively maintain existing levels of software and service revenues, promote future growth in our software and services revenues or achieve or maintain profitability.

 

Our Quarterly Revenues and Operating Results Are Likely to Fluctuate and if We Fail to Meet the Expectations of Management, Securities Analysts or Investors, Our Stock Price Could Decline

 

Our quarterly revenues and operating results are difficult to predict, have varied significantly in the past and are likely to fluctuate significantly in the future. We typically realize a significant percentage of our revenues for a fiscal quarter in the second half of the third month of the quarter. Accordingly, our quarterly results may be difficult or impossible to predict prior to the end of the quarter. Any inability to obtain sufficient orders or to fulfill shipments in the period immediately preceding the end of any particular quarter may cause the results for that quarter to fall short of our revenues targets. Any disruption in our ability to conduct our business which occurs will likely have a material adverse effect on our operating results for that quarter. In addition, we base our current and future expense levels in part on our estimates of future revenues. Our expenses are largely fixed in the short term. We may not be able to adjust our spending quickly if our revenues fall short of our expectations. Accordingly, a shortfall in revenues in a particular quarter would have an adverse effect on our operating results for that quarter.

 

39


Table of Contents

In addition, our quarterly operating results may fluctuate for many reasons, including, without limitation:

 

  changes in demand for our products and services, including seasonal differences;

 

  changes in the mix of our software license and service revenues;

 

  changes in the mix of the licensing of our Matrix PLM Platform, Business Process Applications and Enterprise Integration products;

 

  the amount of royalty payments due to third-parties on our Business Process Applications and Enterprise Integration software products;

 

  changes in the mix of domestic and international revenues;

 

  variability in the mix of professional services performed by us and systems integrators; and

 

  the amount of training we provide to systems integrators and Alliance Partners related to our products and their implementation.

 

For these reasons, you should not rely on period-to-period comparisons of our financial results to forecast our future performance. It is likely that in some future quarter or quarters our operating results will be below the expectations of securities analysts or investors. If a shortfall in revenues occurs, the market price of our common stock may decline significantly.

 

Our Lengthy and Variable Sales Cycle Makes it Difficult for Us to Predict When or if Sales Will Occur and Therefore We May Experience an Unplanned Shortfall in Revenues

 

Our products have a lengthy and unpredictable sales cycle that contributes to the uncertainty of our operating results. Customers view the purchase of our software as a significant and strategic decision. As a result, customers generally evaluate our software products and determine their impact on existing infrastructure over a lengthy period of time. Our sales cycle has historically ranged from approximately one to nine months based on the customer’s need to rapidly implement a solution and whether the customer is new or is extending an existing implementation. The license of our software products may be subject to delays if the customer has lengthy internal budgeting, approval and evaluation processes. We may incur significant selling and marketing expenses during a customer’s evaluation period, including the costs of developing a full proposal and completing a rapid proof of concept or custom demonstration, before the customer places an order with us. Customers may also initially purchase a limited number of licenses before expanding their implementations. Larger customers may purchase our software products as part of multiple simultaneous purchasing decisions, which may result in additional unplanned administrative processing and other delays in the recognition of our license revenues. If revenues forecasted from a specific customer for a particular quarter are not realized or are delayed to another quarter, we may experience an unplanned shortfall in revenues, which could significantly and adversely affect our operating results.

 

We May Not Achieve Our Anticipated Revenues if Large Software and Service Orders Expected in a Quarter Are Not Placed or Are Delayed

 

Although we license our software to numerous customers in any quarter, a single customer may represent more than 10% of our quarterly revenues. We expect that revenues from large orders will continue to represent an increasing percentage of our total revenues in future quarters. A customer may determine to increase its number of licenses and expand its implementation of our software throughout its organization and to its customers, suppliers and other business partners only after a successful initial implementation. Therefore, the timing of these large

 

40


Table of Contents

orders is often unpredictable. If any large order anticipated for a particular quarter is not realized, delayed to another quarter or significantly reduced, we may experience an unplanned shortfall in revenues, which could significantly and adversely affect our operating results.

 

If Our Existing Customers Do Not License Additional Software Products From Us, We May Not Achieve Growth in Our Revenues

 

Our customers’ initial implementations of our software often include a limited number of licenses. Customers may subsequently add licenses as they expand the implementations of our products throughout their enterprises or add software applications designed for specific functions. Therefore, it is important that our customers are satisfied with their initial product implementations. If we do not increase licenses to existing customers, we may not be able to achieve growth in our revenues, which could significantly and adversely affect our operating results.

 

We Must Overcome Significant Challenges in Integrating Business Operations and Product Offerings to Realize the Benefits of our Recent Acquisitions

 

We will not achieve the anticipated benefits of our acquisitions unless we successfully combine and integrate the business operations and products of the three companies in a timely and effective manner. Integration will be a complex, time-consuming and expensive process and may result in revenue disruption and operational difficulties. We must operate as a combined organization utilizing common information communication systems, operating procedures, financial controls and human resource practices. We may experience substantial difficulties, costs and delays involved in the integration of our acquisitions. These difficulties, costs and delays may include:

 

    the difficulty of incorporating acquired technology into our products and services;

 

    the disruption of our ongoing business and diversion of management resources;

 

    an incompatibility of the business cultures;

 

    unanticipated expenses related to integration of operations;

 

    the impairment of relationships with employees and customers due to integration of new personnel;

 

    the difficulties of integrating international and domestic operations;

 

    unknown liabilities associated with the acquired business and technology;

 

    costs and delays in implementing common systems and procedures, including financial accounting systems and customer information systems; and

 

    inability to retain, integrate and motivate key management, marketing, technical sales and customer support and development personnel.

 

We may not succeed in addressing these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with the integration of these acquisitions. If we are not successful in integrating our acquisitions, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions and the market price of our common stock may decline.

 

We operate in a highly competitive environment, characterized by rapid technological change and evolution of standards and frequent new product introductions. To obtain the full potential benefits of our acquisitions, we must promptly integrate our business operations, technology and product offerings. We cannot assure you that

 

41


Table of Contents

we will be able to integrate their technology offerings and operations quickly and smoothly. We may be required to spend additional time or money on integration that would otherwise be spent on developing our business or on other matters. If we do not integrate our operations and technology smoothly or if management spends too much time on integration issues, it could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations and diminish the benefits of the acquisition as well as harm our existing business.

 

There May Be Sales of Substantial Amounts of Our Common Stock in Connection with our Registration Statement Which Could Cause Our Stock Price to Fall

 

As part of the aggregate purchase price to acquire Synchronicity, we issued approximately 2.3 million shares of our common stock, which have been publicly registered pursuant to a registration statement. A substantial number of shares of our common stock may be sold into the public market, which could therefore result in a sharp decline in the market price of our common stock. In addition, the sale of these shares could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional common stock.

 

Future Acquisitions May Negatively Affect Our Ongoing Business Operations and Our Operating Results

 

We may further expand our operations or market presence by acquiring or investing in additional businesses, products or technologies that complement our business, increase our market coverage, enhance our technical capabilities or otherwise offer opportunities for growth. These transactions create risks such as:

 

    difficulty assimilating the operations, technology, products and personnel we acquire;

 

    disruption of our ongoing business;

 

    diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns;

 

    one-time charges and expenses associated with amortization of purchased intangible assets; and

 

    potential dilution to our stockholders.

 

Our inability to address these risks could negatively impact our operating results. Moreover, any future acquisitions, even if successfully completed, may not generate any additional revenues or provide any benefit to our business.

 

The Market for Our PLM Software Is Rapidly Changing and Demand for PLM Software Could Decline

 

The market for PLM software is rapidly changing. We cannot be certain that this market will continue to develop and grow or that companies will choose to use our products rather than attempting to develop alternative platforms and applications internally or through other sources. If we fail to establish a significant base of customer references, our ability to market and license our products successfully may be reduced. Companies that have already invested substantial resources in other methods of sharing information during the design, manufacturing and supply process may be reluctant to adopt new technology or infrastructures that may replace, limit or compete with their existing systems or methods. We expect that we will continue to need to pursue intensive marketing and selling efforts to educate prospective customers about the uses and benefits of our products. Therefore, demand for and market acceptance of our software products is subject to a high level of uncertainty.

 

42


Table of Contents

If We Are Not Successful in Developing New Products and Services that Keep Pace with Technology, Our Operating Results Will Suffer

 

The market for our software is characterized by rapid technological advances, changing customer needs and evolving industry standards. Accordingly, to realize our expectations regarding our operating results, we depend on our ability to:

 

    develop, in a timely manner, new software products and services that keep pace with developments in technology;

 

    meet evolving customer requirements; and

 

    enhance our current product and service offerings and deliver those products and services through appropriate distribution channels.

 

We may not be successful in developing and marketing, on a timely and cost-effective basis, either enhancements to our products or new products that respond to technological advances and satisfy increasingly sophisticated customer needs. If we fail to introduce new products, our operating results will suffer. In addition, if new industry standards emerge that we do not anticipate or adapt to, our software products could be rendered obsolete and our business could be materially harmed.

 

We May Not Achieve Anticipated Revenues if Market Acceptance of Our Software Does Not Continue

 

We believe that revenues from licenses of our software, together with revenues from related professional services, training and maintenance and customer support services, will account for substantially all of our revenues for the foreseeable future. Our future financial performance will depend on market acceptance of our software, including our Matrix PLM Platform, Business Process Applications and Enterprise Integration products, and any upgrades or enhancements that we may make to our products in the future. As a result, if our software does not achieve and maintain widespread market acceptance, we may not achieve anticipated revenues. In addition, if our competitors release new products that are superior to our software, demand for our products may not accelerate and could decline. If we are unable to increase the number and scope of our Business Process Applications and Enterprise Integration products or ship or implement any upgrades or enhancements to our products when planned, or if the introduction of upgrades or enhancements causes customers to defer orders for our existing products, we also may not achieve anticipated revenues.

 

We Will Not Succeed Unless We Can Compete in Our Markets

 

The markets in which we offer our software and services are intensely competitive and rapidly changing. Furthermore, we expect competition to intensify, given the newly emerging nature of the market for PLM software and consolidation in the software industry in general. We will not succeed if we cannot compete effectively in these markets. Competitors vary in size and in the scope and breadth of the products and services they offer. Many of our actual or potential competitors have significant advantages over us, including, without limitation:

 

    larger and more established selling and marketing capabilities;

 

    significantly greater financial, engineering and other resources;

 

    greater name recognition and a larger installed base of customers; and

 

    well-established relationships with our existing and potential customers, systems integrators, complementary technology vendors and Alliance Partners.

 

43


Table of Contents

As a result, our competitors may be in a stronger position to respond quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. Our competitors may also be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products and services than we can. Accordingly, we may not be able to maintain or expand our revenues if competition increases and we are unable to respond effectively.

 

As competition in the PLM software market intensifies, new solutions will come to market. Our competitors may package their products in a manner that may discourage customers from licensing our software. Also, current and potential competitors may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third-parties or adopt aggressive pricing policies to gain market share. Consolidation in the industry also results in larger competitors that may have significant combined resources with which to compete against us. Increased competition could result in reductions in price and revenues, lower profit margins, loss of customers and loss of market share. Any one of these factors could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

 

We Depend on Licensed Third-Party Technology, and the Ability to Interoperate with Third Party Technology, the Loss of Which Could Adversely Impact the Licensing of Our Products, or Result in Increased Costs of or Delays in Licensing Our Products

 

We license technology from several companies on a non-exclusive basis that is integrated into many of our products. We also license certain Enterprise Integration products from third-parties for the purposes of enabling our products to interoperate with third party application products. We anticipate that we will continue to license technology from third-parties in the future. This software may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Some of the software we license from third-parties would be difficult and time-consuming to replace. The loss of any of these technology licenses could result in delays in the licensing of our products until equivalent technology, if available, is identified, licensed and integrated. The loss of the ability to integrate to any of the third party products could also adversely impact the licensing of our products. In addition, the effective implementation of our products may depend upon the successful operation of third-party licensed products in conjunction with our products, and therefore any undetected errors in these licensed products may prevent the implementation or impair the functionality of our products, delay new product introductions or injure our reputation.

 

We Could Incur Substantial Costs Defending Our Intellectual Property from Claims of Infringement

 

The software industry is characterized by frequent litigation regarding copyright, patent and other intellectual property rights. We may be subject to future litigation based on claims that our products infringe the intellectual property rights of others or that our own intellectual property rights are invalid. We expect that software product developers will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products and competitors in our industry grows and the functionality of products overlaps. From time to time, we have received correspondence from competitors asserting potential infringement of intellectual property rights or other claims based upon the integration of our software with one or more of their software offerings; such integrations are typically performed at the request of mutual customers. Claims of infringement could require us to reengineer or rename our products or seek to obtain licenses from third-parties in order to continue offering our products. Licensing or royalty agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. Even if successfully defended, claims of infringement could also result in significant expense to us and the diversion of our management and technical resources.

 

44


Table of Contents

Our Revenues Could Decline if We Do Not Develop and Maintain Successful Relationships with Systems Integrators, Complementary Technology Vendors and Alliance Partners

 

We pursue business alliances with systems integrators, complementary technology vendors and Alliance Partners to endorse our software, implement our software, provide customer support services, promote and resell products that integrate with our products and develop industry-specific software products. These alliances provide an opportunity to license our products to our Alliance Partners’ installed customer bases. In many cases, these parties have established relationships with our existing and potential customers and can influence the decisions of these customers. We rely upon these companies for recommendations of our products during the evaluation stage of the purchasing process, as well as for implementation and customer support services. A number of our competitors have strong relationships with these systems integrators, complementary technology vendors and Alliance Partners who, as a result, may be more likely to recommend our competitors’ products and services. In addition, some of our competitors have relationships with a greater number of these systems integrators, complementary technology vendors and Alliance Partners and, therefore, have access to a broader base of enterprise customers. If we are unable to establish, maintain and strengthen these relationships, we will have to devote substantially more resources to the selling and marketing, implementation and support of our products. Our efforts may not be as effective as these systems integrators, complementary technology vendors and Alliance Partners, which could significantly harm our operating results.

 

We May Not Be Able to Increase Revenues if We Do Not Expand Our Sales and Distribution Channels and Improve Our Sales Productivity

 

We will need to expand our direct and indirect global sales operations and improve our sales productivity in order to increase market awareness and acceptance of our software and generate increased revenues. We market and license our products directly through our sales organization and indirectly through our global Alliance Partner and distributor network.

 

Our ability to increase our global direct sales organization will depend on our ability to recruit, train and retain sales personnel with advanced sales skills and technical knowledge. Competition for qualified sales personnel is intense in our industry. In addition, it may take up to nine months for a new sales person to become fully productive. If we are unable to hire or retain qualified sales personnel, or if newly hired or existing sales personnel fail to develop the necessary skills, reach productivity more slowly than anticipated or are not able to maintain an expected level of productivity, we may have difficulty licensing our products, and we may experience a shortfall in anticipated revenues.

 

In addition, we believe that our future success is dependent upon expansion of our indirect global distribution channel, which consists of our relationships with a variety of systems integrators, complementary technology vendors and distributors. We cannot be certain that we will be able to maintain our current relationships or establish relationships with additional distribution partners on a timely basis, or at all. Our distribution partners may not devote adequate resources to promoting or selling our products and may not be successful. In addition, we may also face potential conflicts between our direct sales force and third-party reselling efforts. Any failure to expand our indirect global distribution channel or increase the productivity of this distribution channel could result in lower than anticipated revenues.

 

Our International Operations Expose Us to Business Risks Which Could Cause Our Operating Results to Suffer

 

Our international revenues and expenses are generally transacted by our foreign subsidiaries in their respective countries and are typically denominated in local currency. Approximately 34.6%, 41.1% and 35.6% of our total revenues for the six months ended January 1, 2005, fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003, respectively, were from our foreign subsidiaries. In addition, approximately 27.7%, 28.4% and 26.9% of our expenses for the six months ended January 1, 2005, fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003, respectively, were from our foreign subsidiaries. At January 1, 2005 and July 3, 2004, approximately 23.4% and 21.7%, respectively, of our total assets were located at our foreign subsidiaries. Many of our customers have operations in numerous locations around the globe. In order to attract, retain and service multi-national customers, we have to maintain strong direct and indirect sales and support organizations in Europe and Asia/Pacific. Our ability to penetrate international markets may be impaired

 

45


Table of Contents

by resource constraints and our ability to hire qualified personnel in foreign countries. We face a number of risks associated with conducting business internationally, which could negatively impact our operating results, including, without limitation:

 

    difficulties relating to the management, administration and staffing of a globally-dispersed business;

 

    longer sales cycles associated with educating foreign customers on the benefits of our products and services;

 

    longer accounts receivable payment cycles and difficulties in collecting accounts receivable;

 

    difficulties in providing customer support for our products in multiple time zones;

 

    currency fluctuations and exchange rates;

 

    limitations on repatriation of earnings of our foreign operations;

 

    the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws;

 

    reductions in business activity during the summer months in Europe and certain other parts of the world;

 

    multiple and possibly overlapping tax structures;

 

    negative tax consequences such as withholding taxes and employer payroll taxes;

 

    language barriers;

 

    the need to consider numerous international product characteristics;

 

    different accounting practices;

 

    import/export duties and tariffs, quotas and controls;

 

    complex and inflexible employment laws;

 

    economic or political instability in some international markets; and

 

    conflicting international business practices.

 

We believe that expansion into new international markets will be necessary for our future success. Therefore, a key aspect of our strategy is to continue to expand our presence in foreign markets. We may not succeed in our efforts to enter new international markets. If we fail to do so, we may not be able to maintain existing levels of revenues and promote growth in our revenues. This international expansion may be more difficult or time-consuming than we anticipate. It is also costly to establish and maintain international facilities and operations and promote our products internationally. Thus, if revenues from international activities do not offset the expenses of establishing and maintaining foreign operations, our operating results will suffer.

Our Services Revenues and Operating Results May Be Adversely Affected if We Are Not Able to Maintain the Billing and Utilization Rates for Our Professional Services Personnel

 

The billing rates we charge for our professional services and the utilization, or chargeability, of our professional services personnel are significant components of our services revenues, gross margin and operating results. Our billing rates are affected by a number of factors, including the introduction of new services or products by our competitors, the pricing policies of our competitors, demand for professional services and general economic conditions. Our utilization rates are also affected by a number of factors, including seasonal trends, our ability to transition employees from completed professional services engagements to new engagements and our ability to forecast demand of our professional services and thereby maintain an appropriate headcount. Many of the above factors are beyond our control. Accordingly, if we are not able to maintain the rates we charge for our professional services or an appropriate utilization for our professional services personnel, our service revenues and gross profit are likely to decline, which would adversely affect our operating results.

 

We Occasionally Perform Professional Services Engagements on a Fixed-Price Basis, Which Could Cause a Decline in Our Gross Margins

 

We occasionally perform professional services engagements on a fixed-price basis. Prior to performing a fixed-price professional services engagement, we estimate the amount of work involved for the engagement. However, we may underestimate the amount of time or resources required to complete a professional services engagement, and we may not be able to charge the customer for the additional work performed. If we do not correctly estimate the amount of time or resources required for a professional services engagement and we are not able to charge the customer for the additional work performed, our gross profit would decline, which would adversely affect our operating results.

 

If Systems Integrators Are Not Available or Fail to Perform Adequately, Our Customers May Suffer Implementation Delays and a Lower Quality of Customer Service, and We May Incur Increased Expenses

 

Systems integrators often are retained by our customers to implement our products. If experienced systems integrators are not available to implement our products, we may be required to provide these services internally, and we may not have sufficient resources to meet our customers’ implementation needs on a timely basis. Use of our professional services personnel to implement our products would also increase our expenses. In addition, we cannot control the level and quality of service provided by our current and future implementation partners. If these systems integrators do not perform to the satisfaction of our customers, our customers could become dissatisfied with our products, which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

 

We Depend on Our Key Personnel to Manage Our Business Effectively, and if We Are Unable to Retain Key Personnel, Our Ability to Compete Could Be Harmed

 

Our ability to implement our business strategy and our future success depends largely on the continued services of our executive officers and other key engineering, sales, marketing and support personnel who have critical industry or customer experience and relationships. The loss of the technical knowledge and management and industry expertise of any of these key personnel could result in delays in product development, loss of customers and sales and diversion of management resources, which could materially and adversely affect our operating results. In addition, our future performance depends upon our ability to attract and retain highly qualified sales, engineering, marketing, services and managerial personnel, and there is intense competition for such personnel. If we do not succeed in retaining our personnel or in attracting new employees, our business could suffer significantly.

 

Our Products May Contain Defects that Could Harm Our Reputation, Be Costly to Correct, Delay Revenues and Expose Us to Litigation

 

Despite testing by us, our Alliance Partners and our customers, errors may be found in our products after commencement of commercial shipments. We and our customers have from time to time discovered errors in our software products. In the future, there may be additional errors and defects in our software. If errors are discovered, we may not be able to successfully correct them in a timely manner or at all. Errors and failures in our

 

47


Table of Contents

products could result in loss of or delay in market acceptance of our products and damage to our reputation and our ability to convince commercial users of the benefits of our products. In addition, we may need to make significant expenditures of capital resources in order to eliminate errors and failures. Since our products are used by customers for mission-critical applications, errors, defects or other performance problems could also result in financial or other damages to our customers, who could assert warranty and other claims for substantial damages against us. Although our license agreements with our customers typically contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential product liability claims, it is possible that such provisions may not be effective or enforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. In addition, our insurance policies may not adequately limit our exposure with respect to such claims. A product liability claim, even if unsuccessful, would be costly and time-consuming to defend and could harm our business.

 

If We Are Unable to Obtain Additional Capital as Needed in the Future, Our Business May Be Adversely Affected and the Market Price for Our Common Stock Could Significantly Decline

 

We have been unable to fund our operations using cash generated from our business operations and have financed our operations principally through the sale of securities. We may need to raise additional debt or equity capital to fund an expansion of our operations, to enhance our products and services, or to acquire or invest in complementary products, services, businesses or technologies. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. In addition, we may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If adequate funds are not available on terms favorable to us, our business may be adversely affected and the market price for our common stock could significantly decline.

 

Our Business May be Adversely Affected by Securities Class Action Litigation

 

On April 19, 2002, a consolidated amended class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint, which superseded five virtually identical complaints that had been filed from July 24, 2001 to September 5, 2001, names as defendants the Company, two of our officers, and certain underwriters involved in our initial public offering of common stock (“IPO”). The complaint is allegedly brought on behalf of purchasers of our common stock during the period from February 29, 2000 to December 6, 2000 and asserts, among other things, that our IPO prospectus and registration statement violated federal securities laws because they contained material misrepresentations and/or omissions regarding the conduct of our IPO underwriters in allocating shares in our IPO to the underwriters’ customers. The action seeks damages, fees and costs associated with the litigation, and interest. We and our officers and directors believe that the allegations in the complaint are without merit and have defended the litigation vigorously. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and unpredictable, however, and there can be no guarantee as to the ultimate outcome of this pending lawsuit.

 

In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following periods of volatility in the price of its securities. Due to the volatility of our stock price, we may be the target of securities litigation in the future. The expense of defending and the outcome of pending and future shareholder litigation, including the New York securities litigation described above, and the possible inadequacy of the Company’s insurance to cover its obligations with respect to the ultimate resolution of any pending or future litigation matters could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. Securities litigation could also divert management’s attention and resources from our business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

 

Failure to Protect Our Intellectual Property Could Harm Our Name Recognition Efforts and Ability to Compete Effectively

 

Currently, we rely on a combination of trademarks, patents, copyrights and common law safeguards, including trade secret protection to protect our intellectual property rights. To protect our intellectual property

Table of Contents

rights in the future, we intend to rely on a combination of patents, trademarks, copyrights and common law safeguards, including trade secret protection. We also rely on restrictions on use, confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements and other contractual arrangements with our employees, affiliates, customers, Alliance Partners and others. The protective steps we have taken may be inadequate to deter misappropriation of our intellectual property and proprietary information. A third-party could obtain our proprietary information or develop products or technology competitive with ours. We may be unable to detect the unauthorized use of, or take appropriate steps to enforce, our intellectual property rights. We have registered some of our trademarks in the United States and abroad, have several patents issued and have other trademark and patent applications pending or in preparation. Effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which we offer or intend to offer our products and services to the same extent as in the United States. Failure to adequately protect our intellectual property could harm or even destroy our brands and impair our ability to compete effectively. Further, enforcing our intellectual property rights could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources and may not prove successful.

 

Our Stock Price Has Been and May Continue to be Volatile Which May Lead to Losses by Stockholders

 

The trading price of our common stock has been highly volatile and has fluctuated significantly in the past. During the six months ended January 1, 2005, our stock price fluctuated between a low bid price of $4.45 per share and a high bid price of $7.08 per share, and during fiscal 2004, our stock price fluctuated between a low bid price of $4.08 per share and a high bid price of $8.73 per share. We believe that the price of our common stock may continue to fluctuate significantly in the future in response to a number of events and factors relating to our company, our competitors, the market for our products and services and the global economy, many of which are beyond our control, such as:

 

    variations in our quarterly operating results;

 

    changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts;

 

    changes in market valuations of software companies;

 

    announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

 

    loss of a major customer or failure to complete significant business transactions;

 

    additions or departures of key personnel;

 

    the threat of additional litigation by current or former employees, customers, and shareholders;

 

    sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market by existing shareholders;

 

    sales of common stock or other securities by us in the future; and

 

    news relating to trends in our markets.

 

In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for technology companies in particular, has experienced extreme volatility. This volatility has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance.

Anti-Takeover Provisions in Our Organizational Documents and Delaware Law Could Prevent or Delay a Change in Control of Our Company

 

Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that stockholders may consider favorable. These provisions may also prevent changes in our management. These provisions include, without limitation:

 

    authorizing the issuance of undesignated preferred stock;

 

    providing for a classified board of directors with staggered, three-year terms;

 

    requiring super-majority voting to effect certain amendments to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws;

 

    limiting the persons who may call special meetings of stockholders;

 

    prohibiting stockholder action by written consent; and

 

    establishing advance notice requirements for nominations for election to the board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted on by stockholders at stockholder meetings.

 

Certain provisions of Delaware law may also discourage, delay or prevent someone from acquiring or merging with us.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We have foreign subsidiaries in Austria, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Singapore and the Netherlands. Our international revenues and expenses are generally transacted from our foreign subsidiaries in their respective countries and are typically denominated in local currency. Approximately 34.6%, 41.1% and 35.6% of our total revenues for the six months ended January 1, 2005, fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003, respectively, were from our foreign subsidiaries. In addition, approximately 27.7%, 28.4% and 26.9% of our expenses for the six months ended January 1, 2005, fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003, respectively, were from our foreign subsidiaries. At January 1, 2005 and July 3, 2004, approximately 23.4% and 21.7%, respectively, of our total assets were located at our foreign subsidiaries.

 

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations as the financial results and balances of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars. As exchange rates vary, these results, when translated, may vary from expectations and may adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition (“translation risk”). Therefore, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risks and fluctuations in foreign currencies, along with economic and political instability in the foreign countries in which we operate, all of which could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not enter into contracts or agreements to minimize our exposure to the effects of changes in foreign currency when the results of our international subsidiaries are translated to U.S. Dollars. Accordingly, if the dollar weakens relative to foreign currencies, our revenues and expenses would increase when stated in U.S. Dollars. Conversely, if the dollar strengthens, our revenues and expenses would decrease.

 

Our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations also arises in part from intercompany transactions. Our intercompany transactions are typically denominated in the local currency of the foreign subsidiary in order to centralize foreign currency risk at the parent company in the United States. The parent company and our foreign subsidiaries may also transact business in a currency other than the local currency. Our foreign currency hedging program is principally designed to mitigate the future potential impact of changes in the value of transactions denominated in a currency other than the local currency as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which may impact our results of operations. Our foreign currency hedging program is not designed, nor do we enter into foreign currency contracts, to mitigate translation risk. We use forward contracts to reduce our exposure to foreign currency risk due to fluctuations in exchange rates underlying the value of accounts receivable and accounts payable and intercompany accounts receivable and intercompany accounts payable denominated in a currency other than the local currency. A forward contract obligates us to exchange predetermined amounts of specified foreign currencies at specified exchange rates on specified dates. These forward contracts are denominated in the same currency in which the underlying foreign currency receivables or payables are denominated and bear a contract value and maturity date that approximate the value and expected settlement date, respectively, of the underlying transactions. Unrealized gains and losses on open contracts at the end of each accounting period, resulting from changes in the fair value of these contracts, are recognized in earnings in the same period as gains and losses on the underlying foreign denominated receivables or payables are recognized and generally offset. Gains and losses on forward contracts and foreign denominated receivables and payables are included in other income (expense), net. We do not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes, and we only enter into forward contracts with highly rated financial institutions. At January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004, we had no forward contracts outstanding.

 

We plan to continue our use of forward contracts and other instruments in the future to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations from accounts receivable and accounts payable and intercompany accounts receivable and intercompany accounts payable denominated in foreign currencies, and we may not be able to do this successfully. Accordingly, we may experience economic loss and a negative impact on our results of operations as a result of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Also, as we continue to expand our operations outside of the United States, our exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates could increase.

 

We deposit our cash in highly rated financial institutions in North America, Europe and Asia/Pacific. We invest in diversified United States and international money market mutual funds and United States Treasury and

 

51


Table of Contents

agency securities. At January 1, 2005, we had $80.1 million and $15.0 million invested in the United States and Continental Europe, respectively. At January 1, 2005, the weighted average interest rate on our investments was 2.05% per annum. Due to the short-term nature of our investments, we believe we have minimal market risk.

 

Our investments are subject to interest rate risk. All of our investments have remaining maturities of three months or less. If these short-term assets were reinvested in a declining interest rate environment, we would experience an immediate negative impact on other income. The opposite holds true in a rising interest rate environment.

 

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

As of January 1, 2005, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed in such reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Internal controls over financial reporting are procedures designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that our transactions are properly authorized, assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use and transactions are properly recorded and reported; all to permit the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the second fiscal quarter ended January 1, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On April 19, 2002, a consolidated amended class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint, which superseded five virtually identical complaints that had been filed from July 24, 2001 to September 5, 2001, names as defendants the Company, two of our officers, and certain underwriters involved in our initial public offering of common stock (“IPO”). The complaint is allegedly brought on behalf of purchasers of our common stock during the period from February 29, 2000 to December 6, 2000 and asserts, among other things, that our IPO prospectus and registration statement violated federal securities laws because they contained material misrepresentations and/or omissions regarding the conduct of our IPO underwriters in allocating shares in our IPO to the underwriters’ customers, and that the Company and the two named officers engaged in fraudulent practices with respect to the underwriters’ conduct. The action seeks damages, fees and costs associated with the litigation, and interest. We and our officers and directors believe that the allegations in the complaint are without merit and have defended the litigation vigorously. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and unpredictable, however, and there can be no guarantee as to the ultimate outcome of this pending lawsuit. Pursuant to a stipulation between the parties, the Company’s two named officers were dismissed from the lawsuit, without prejudice, on October 9, 2002. On February 19, 2003, the Court ruled on a motion to dismiss the complaint that had been filed by the Company, along with the three hundred plus other publicly-traded companies that have been named by various plaintiffs in substantially similar lawsuits. The Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the claim filed against it under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, but denied the Company’s motion to dismiss the claim filed against it under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as it denied the motions under this statute for virtually every other company sued in the substantially similar lawsuits.

 

In June 2003, the Company, implementing the determination made by a special independent committee of the Board of Directors, elected to participate in a proposed settlement agreement with the plaintiffs in this litigation. If ultimately approved by the Court, this proposed settlement would result in a dismissal, with prejudice, of all claims in the litigation against us and against any of the other issuer defendants who elect to participate in the proposed settlement, together with the current or former officers and directors of participating issuers who were named as individual defendants. The proposed settlement does not provide for the resolution of any claims against the underwriter defendants, and the litigation as against those defendants is continuing. The proposed settlement provides that the class members in the class action cases brought against the participating issuer defendants will be guaranteed a recovery of $1.0 billion by insurers of the participating issuer defendants. If recoveries totaling $1.0 billion or more are obtained by the class members from the underwriter defendants, however, the monetary obligations to the class members under the proposed settlement will be satisfied. In addition, the Company and any other participating issuer defendants will be required to assign to the class members certain claims that they may have against the underwriters of their IPOs.

 

The proposed settlement contemplates that any amounts necessary to fund the settlement or settlement-related expenses would come from participating issuers’ directors and officers liability insurance policy proceeds, as opposed to funds of the participating issuer defendants themselves. A participating issuer defendant could be required to contribute to the costs of the settlement if that issuer’s insurance coverage were insufficient to pay that issuer’s allocable share of the settlement costs. The Company expects that its insurance proceeds will be sufficient for these purposes and that it will not otherwise be required to contribute to the proposed settlement.

 

Formal settlement documents, including a stipulation of settlement and related documents, have now been filed with the Court. The plaintiffs in the case against the Company, along with the plaintiffs in the other related cases in which issuer defendants have agreed to the proposed settlement, have requested preliminary approval by the Court of the proposed settlement, including the form of the notice of the proposed settlement that will be sent to members of the proposed classes in each settling case. Certain underwriters who were named as defendants in the settling cases, and who are not parties to the proposed settlement, have filed an opposition to preliminary approval of the proposed settlement of those cases. In mid-September, the Court asked lead counsel for the

 

53


Table of Contents

plaintiffs and for the issuer defendants for additional information concerning the adequacy of the settlement amount and how plaintiffs intend to allocate any consideration paid under the settlement among the more than 300 separate class actions that are included in the settlement. Counsel for the plaintiffs and for the issuer defendants provided to the Court the information that it had requested. On December 14, 2004, the Court asked lead counsel for the plaintiffs and for the issuer defendants for additional information concerning the proposed settlement. Counsel for the plaintiffs and for the issuer defendants are in the process of providing to the Court the information that it has requested.

 

Consummation of the proposed settlement is conditioned upon, among other things, receipt of both preliminary and final Court approval. If the Court preliminarily approves the proposed settlement, it will direct that notice of the terms of the proposed settlement be published in a newspaper and mailed to all proposed class members and schedule a fairness hearing, at which objections to the proposed settlement will be heard. Thereafter, the Court will determine whether to grant final approval to the proposed settlement.

 

If the proposed settlement described above is not consummated, the Company intends to continue to defend the litigation vigorously. Moreover, if the proposed settlement is not consummated, the Company believes that the underwriters may have an obligation to indemnify the Company for the legal fees and other costs of defending this suit. While the Company cannot guarantee the outcome of these proceedings, the Company believes that the final result of these actions will have no material effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

We may from time to time become a party to various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business.

 

ITEM 2: CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

On February 29, 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-92731), relating to the initial public offering of our common stock, and we did a concurrent private placement of common stock. We expect to continue to use the net proceeds from the initial public offering and the concurrent private placement for general corporate purposes, including to expand our selling and marketing and services organizations, develop new distribution channels, expand our research and development efforts, improve our operational and financial systems and for other working capital purposes, and to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products or technologies. Currently, we have no specific understandings, commitments or agreements with respect to any such acquisition or investment. Except as set forth below, we have not allocated any portion of the net proceeds for any specific purpose. Our actual use of the net proceeds from the initial public offering and the concurrent private placement may differ from the uses we have identified. Pending these uses, the net proceeds of the offering and the concurrent private placement will be invested in short-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade securities. Through January 1, 2005, we have used the proceeds from the initial public offering and concurrent private placement to (a) pay for the offering expenses, (b) fund approximately $11.4 million in investments in leasehold improvements, computer hardware and software and office furniture, (c) acquire certain business and technology aggregating $6.5 million of cash consideration, (d) repurchase $1.0 million of our common stock, and (e) fund approximately $14.9 million of working capital to support our operations.
