NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except percentages, shares, per share amounts, or as otherwise stated)
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of JDA Software Group, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and reclassifications considered necessary for a fair and comparable presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the June 30, 2004 interim financial statements and the December 31, 2004 consolidated balance sheet in order to conform to the June 30, 2005 presentation. In addition, auction rate securities, historically classified as cash and cash equivalents, have been reclassified as marketable securities. As a result, cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2004 decreased by $15.6 million while marketable securities increased by the same amount.
2. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We use derivative financial instruments, primarily forward exchange contracts, to manage a majority of the foreign currency exchange exposure associated with net short-term foreign denominated assets and liabilities which exist as part of our ongoing business operations. The exposures relate primarily to the gain or loss recognized in earnings from the revaluation or settlement of current foreign denominated assets and liabilities. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The forward exchange contracts generally have maturities of less than 90 days and are not designated as hedging instruments under Financial Accounting Standard No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 133”). Forward exchange contracts are marked-to-market at the end of each reporting period, with gains and losses recognized in other income, net, offset by the gains or losses resulting from the settlement of the underlying foreign denominated assets and liabilities.
At June 30, 2005, we had forward exchange contracts with a notional value of $3.1 million and an associated net forward contract receivable of $36,000. At December 31, 2004, we had forward exchange contracts with a notional value of $5.8 million and an associated net forward contract liability of $219,000. The notional value represents the amount of foreign currencies to be purchased or sold at maturity and does not represent our exposure on these contracts. We recorded foreign currency exchange losses of $179,000 and $68,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We recorded a foreign currency exchange loss of $174,000 in the six months ended June 30 2005 and a foreign currency exchange gain of $145,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2004.
3. Promissory Note Receivable
In May 2001, we entered into a secured promissory note agreement under which we agreed to loan Silvon Software, Inc. (“Silvon”) $3.5 million. We license certain applications from Silvon for use in the IDEAS product. The loan was collateralized by a first priority security interest in all of Silvon’s intellectual property, accounts receivable and all other assets. The promissory note provided for interest at prime, plus 1.5%, payable monthly, and for periodic payments towards the principal balance through the retention of a portion of the royalties we owe Silvon from sales of the IDEAS product, with any remaining accrued and unpaid interest and principal due and payable on May 8, 2004.
8
On May 7, 2004, Silvon notified the Company that it would not make the final May 8, 2004 payment due under the note and advised that an arbitration claim had been filed against the Company. We subsequently filed a counterclaim for the remaining balance on the note plus interest and attorney fees. On November 30, 2004, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release with Silvon that included: (i) an Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note that provided for repayment of the outstanding principal and interest due on the note (at the default rate of 18%) on or before March 30, 2005, (ii) an Amended Distribution License Agreement that provided for the retention and application of 100% of the royalty and maintenance fees due Silvon against the outstanding principal and interest due on the note until the note is fully repaid, (iii) the automatic release of the source code from escrow if Silvon had not paid the full amount of the outstanding principal and interest due on the note by March 30, 2005, or if Silvon files for bankruptcy or similar protection before the outstanding principal has been paid, and (iv) Silvon’s waiver of any and all rights including limitation defenses to our remedies as a secured creditor, and their dismissal with prejudice of all claims made against the Company in their arbitration claim.
On March 30, 2005, Silvon remitted $1.0 million of the outstanding principal balance and entered into a Second Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note with the Company that provides for (i) repayment of the remaining principal balance and interest due on the note (at the default rate of 18%) on or before March 30, 2006 and (ii) prohibits Silvon from entering into any indebtedness for borrowed money, other than the incurrence of up to $1.0 million of indebtedness under certain subordinated note agreements executed concurrent with the Second Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note. All other terms and conditions from the November 30, 2004 Settlement Agreement and Release remain in effect.
No adjustments have been made to the carrying amount of the note as we believe the value of the underlying collateral is sufficient to recover the remaining balance on the note if we are required to exercise our legal remedies.

6. Restructuring Charges
Restructuring Charges Related to Our 2005 Operating Plan
We recorded restructuring charges of $2.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 to the complete the restructuring initiatives contemplated in our 2005 Operating Plan. These charges, which primarily include termination benefits and net rentals remaining under existing operating leases on certain vacated facilities, are in addition to the $3.1 million restructuring charge recorded in fourth quarter 2004 which also included termination benefits and the negotiated buyout or net rentals remaining under existing operating leases on certain facilities that were vacated by December 31, 2004. The restructuring initiatives included a consolidation of product lines, a net workforce reduction of approximately 12% or 154 FTE worldwide, and a reduction of certain office space in the United States and Northern Europe. The net workforce reduction included certain employees involved in the product development (78 FTE), consulting services and training (57 FTE), sales and marketing (20 FTE), and administrative (13 FTE) functions in the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific, offset by a net gain of 14 FTE in the customer support function resulting from the transfer of 20 developers and functional experts into the new Customer Directed Development (“CDD”) organization structure within our Customer Support Solutions group. The CDD group is responsible for improving the speed and efficiency of the Company’s issue resolution, support and enhancements for maintenance customers. A total of 110 FTE were terminated or open positions eliminated through December 31, 2004 with an additional 44 FTE terminated during the six months ended June 30, 2005.

| | |
The remaining balance for termination benefits relates to terminated employees that we expect to be substantially paid out by September 30, 2005, pending labor court confirmation in certain European countries. The remaining balance for office closures relates primarily to a vacated facility in Marietta, Georgia which is being paid out over the term of the lease and related sublease which extend through 2010.
Other 2004 Restructuring Charges
We recorded a $2.7 million restructuring charge in first quarter 2004 for $1.8 million in termination benefits related to a workforce reduction of 47 full-time employees (“FTE”), primarily in sales (15 FTE) and consulting services (18 FTE) functions in the Americas, Europe and Asia/Pacific, and $899,000 for closure costs of certain offices in the Americas and Europe that were either under-performing or under-utilized and used primarily by consulting services personnel. All workforce reductions and office closures associated with this charge were made on or before March 31, 2004. We made two subsequent adjustments to the initial restructuring charge in 2004: (i) we increased our estimate of employee severance and termination benefits by $50,000, primarily as a result of a contested termination in the Americas, and (ii) reduced our estimate of the office closure reserve requirements by $58,000 primarily as a result of a favorable settlement of outstanding lease obligations on a vacated facility in Germany. The initial restructuring charge was reduced by $14,000 in second quarter 2005 due to our revised estimate of the office closure reserve requirements. All adjustments have been made through the income statement and are included in the consolidated statements of income under the caption “Restructuring charge and adjustments to acquisition-related reserves.”
A summary of the first quarter 2004 restructuring charges included in accrued expenses and other liabilities is as follows:

The remaining balance for termination benefits relates to one terminated employee in France that has filed an appeal on a labor court ruling issued in March 2005. The remaining balance for office closure costs is being paid out as the leases and related subleases run through their remaining terms.

2002 Restructuring Charges
We recorded a $1.3 million restructuring charge in second quarter 2002 for a workforce reduction of 53 full-time employees, primarily in the consulting services function in the Americas and Europe. All workforce reductions associated with this charge were made on or before June 30, 2002. All employees potentially impacted by this restructuring were notified of the plan of termination and the related benefits on or before June 30, 2002.
We recorded a restructuring charge of $5.0 million in fourth quarter 2002 for the workforce reduction and office closure costs to reorganize the Company in connection with the implementation of the Customer Value Program (“CVP”). CVP was designed to (i) refocus the organization on delivering value to our existing customer base, (ii) strengthen our competitive position, (iii) improve the quality, satisfaction and efficiency of our customers’ experience with JDA, (iv) increase revenue, (v) better align our cost structure, and (vi) improve our operating results. The reorganization resulted in the consolidation of nearly all product development and client support activities at our corporate headquarters, a workforce reduction of approximately 204 full-time employees and certain office closures. Office closure costs pertain to certain US, Latin American, and European offices that were either under-performing or became redundant with the reorganization.
A summary of the 2002 restructuring and office closure charges included in accrued expenses and other liabilities is as follows:

| | |
During 2003, we reduced our estimate of severance, benefits and legal costs by $197,000, primarily as a result of our decision to offer indefinite full-time employment to certain employees previously subject to temporary retention arrangements, and accrued an additional $196,000 for office closure costs based on our revised estimate of the time required to sublease the vacated office space in the current economic environment. Both adjustments were made through the income statement. The remaining balance for office closure costs is being paid out as the leases and any related subleases run through their remaining terms.
7. E3 Acquisition Reserves
In conjunction with the acquisition of E3 Corporation (“E3”) in 2001, we recorded acquisition reserves of approximately $14.6 million for restructuring costs to exit the activities of E3 and other direct costs associated with the acquisition. These costs related primarily to facility closures, employee severance, investment banker fees, and legal and accounting costs. We subsequently increased the purchase price and E3 acquisition reserves by $1.3 million during 2002 based on revised estimates of the restructuring costs to exit the activities of E3 and other direct costs of the acquisition. During 2003, we reduced our estimate of employee severance and termination benefits by $172,000, and accrued $190,000 for facility termination and sublease costs based on our revised estimate of the time required to sublease the vacated office space in the current economic environment. During 2004, we accrued an additional $341,000 to fully reserve the remaining lease payments on this vacated office space. The real estate market in which this facility is located continues to be depressed, and to date we have received no offers to sublease the available space during the remaining term of the lease which extends through February 2006. All adjustments during 2003 and 2004 were made through the income statement. The 2004 adjustment is included in operating expenses under the caption “Restructuring charges and adjustments to acquisition-related reserves.”
All employee severance and termination benefits as well as investment banker fees and legal and accounting costs were fully paid by December 31, 2003, and the only remaining reserves at June 30, 2005 are for facility termination and sublease costs which are being paid out over the remaining term of the lease. A summary of the charges and adjustments recorded against the E3 acquisition reserves, which are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities, is as follows:

The facility termination and sublease costs represent the costs of a plan to exit an activity of an acquired company as described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-3 (“EITF No. 95-3”),Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination, and include the estimated costs of management’s plan to shut down nine offices of E3 shortly after the acquisition date. These costs have no future economic benefit to the Company and are incremental to the other costs incurred by the Company or E3.
Employee severance and termination benefits were costs resulting from a plan to involuntarily terminate employees from an acquired company as described in EITF No. 95-3. As of the consummation date of the acquisition, executive management approved a plan to involuntarily terminate approximately 31% of the 338 full time employees of E3. In the first three months following the consummation of the E3 acquisition, management completed the assessment of which employees would be involuntarily terminated and communicated the termination arrangements to the affected employees in accordance with statutory requirements of the local jurisdictions in which the employees were located.
8. Treasury Stock Repurchase Program
On February 15, 2005, our Board of Directors approved a program to repurchase from time to time at management’s discretion up to one million shares of the Company’s common stock on the open market or in private transactions until January 26, 2006 at prevailing market prices. The program was adopted as part of our revised approach to equity compensation, which will emphasize performance-based awards to employees and open market stock repurchases by the Company designed to mitigate or eliminate dilution from future employee and director equity-based incentives. Through June 30, 2005, we have purchased a total of 747,500 shares of our common stock for $8.7 million under this program, including 157,000 shares for $2.2 million in first quarter 2005 and 590,500 shares for $6.5 million in second quarter 2005.
9. Stock-Based Compensation
We do not record compensation expense for options granted to our employees as all options granted under our stock option plans have an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. As permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation(“SFAS No. 123”), we have elected to continue to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees(“APB No. 25”) and account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic-value method, and provide pro forma disclosure on an annual basis of net income (loss) and net income (loss) per common share for employee stock option grants made, as if the fair-value method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied.
13
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure(“SFAS No. 148), which became effective in 2003, amended SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation if a company elects to account for its equity awards under this method. SFAS No. 148 also amended the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 and APB Opinion No. 28,Interim Financial Reporting, to require disclosure of the effects of an entity’s accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income and earnings per share in both annual and interim financial statements.
The following table presents pro forma disclosures required by SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148 of net income (loss) and basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share as if stock-based compensation expense had been recognized during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. The compensation expense for these periods has been determined under the fair value method using the Black-Scholes pricing model, and assumes graded vesting. Stock-based compensation expense for 2004 has been adjusted to reflect the revised tax benefit available for incentive stock options generated at the time of exercise.

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123(R), Share Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123(R)”) which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, supersedes APB No. 25 and SFAS No. 148, and amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows (“SFAS No. 95”). Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123; however, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. SFAS No. 123(R) was initially required to be adopted in the next reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005. On April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted a rule that amends this compliance date to allow companies to implement SFAS No. 123(R) at the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005.
SFAS No. 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods:
| 1. | | A “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date. |
|
| 2. | | A “modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS No. 123 for purposes of pro-forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption. |
On March 29, 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14, “Share-Based Payment” (“SAB 107”). SAB 107, which becomes effective for public companies upon their adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), describes the SEC Staff’s views in determining the assumptions that underlie the fair value estimates and interaction of SFAS No. 123(R) with certain existing SEC guidance. We plan to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method.
As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using APB No. 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of the
14
fair value method under SFAS No. 123(R) could potentially have a significant impact on our results of operations, although it will have no impact on our overall financial position. The impact of adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had we adopted SFAS No. 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS No. 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income (loss) and earnings per share above and in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. SFAS No. 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net cash flows from operating activities in periods after adoption. While we cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the future (because this would depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options), we have recognized $80,000 and $55,000 in the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, in operating cash flows for such excess tax deductions.
On February 15, 2005, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Committee”) approved the immediate vesting of all unvested stock options previously awarded to employees, officers and directors. The accelerated options were issued under our 1995 Stock Option Plan, 1996 Stock Option Plan, 1996 Outside Director Stock Option Plan and 1998 Non-statutory Stock Option Plan. The Committee made the decision to immediately vest these options based in part on the issuance of SFAS No. 123(R). The Committee also considered the reduced level of cash bonuses paid to employees and officers in 2004, the fact that there are no equity awards planned in 2005 other than for certain new hires, and recognized that the exercise of any accelerated options would bring cash into the Company. Absent the acceleration of these options, upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we would have been required to recognize approximately $3.7 million in pre-tax compensation expense from these options over their remaining vesting terms. By vesting all previously unvested options, the stock-based compensation expense under SFAS No. 123 will only be reflected in our footnote disclosures. Further, we believe the future stock-based compensation expense to be recorded under SFAS No. 123(R) related to these options is significantly reduced and would be immaterial to our financial results. However, there can be no assurance that these actions will avoid the recognition of future compensation expense in connection with these options.
Employees, officers and directors will benefit from the accelerated vesting of their stock options in the event they terminate their employment with or service to the Company prior to the completion of the original vesting terms as they would have the ability to exercise certain options that would have otherwise been forfeited. No stock-based compensation expense will be recorded with respect to these options unless an employee, officer or director actually benefits from this modification. For those employees, officers and directors who do benefit from the accelerated vesting, we are required to record additional stock-based compensation expense equal to the intrinsic value of the option on the date of modification (i.e., February 15, 2005). The closing market price per share of our common stock on February 15, 2005 was $11.85 and the exercise prices of the approximately 1.4 million in unvested options on that date ranged from $8.50 to $28.20. Based on our historical employee turnover rates during the past three years, we currently estimate the potential additional stock-based compensation expense we may be required to record with respect to these options is approximately $45,000. We recorded approximately $31,000 of additional stock-based compensation expense during the six month period ended June 30, 2005 with respect to these options.
2005 Performance Incentive Plan.On May 16, 2005, our stockholders approved a 2005 Performance Incentive Plan (“2005 Incentive Plan”). The 2005 Incentive Plan, which is intended to replace the Company’s existing 1996 Stock Option Plan, 1996 Outside Directors Stock Option Plan and 1998 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan (collectively, our “Prior Plans”), provides for the issuance of up to 1,847,000 shares of common stock to employees, consultants and directors under stock purchase rights, stock bonuses, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, performance units and deferred compensation awards. The 2005 Incentive Plan contains certain restrictions that limit the number of shares that may be issued and cash awarded under each type of award, including a limitation that awards granted in any given year can be no more than one percent (1%) of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding as of the last day of the preceding fiscal year. Awards granted under the 2005 Incentive Plan will be in such form as the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors shall from time to time establish and may or may not be subject to vesting conditions based on the satisfaction of service requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance criteria. We initially intend to make awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units based upon the Company’s achievement of operating goals – primarily net income targets. Should the Company successfully meet its targets, 50% of the awards will be immediately vested in the form of restricted stock, and the remaining 50% will take the form of restricted stock units that vest over a twenty-four month period. Subsequent net income targets will be increased based upon the cost of the prior year’s restricted stock awards. With the adoption of the 2005 Incentive Plan, no further options will be granted under the Prior Plans and the Prior Plans will be terminated except for those provisions necessary to administer the outstanding options, all of which are fully vested. No awards have been issued under the 2005 Incentive Plan pending the filing of a Form S-8 Registration Statement.

The income tax provision (benefit) recorded in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 takes into account the source of taxable income, domestically by state and internationally by country, and available income tax credits, and do not include the tax benefits realized from the employee stock options exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 of $19,000 and $80,000, respectively, compared to $7,000, and $55,000 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. These tax benefits reduce our income tax liabilities and are included as an increase to additional paid-in capital.

We have organized our business segments around the distinct requirements of retail enterprises, retail stores, and suppliers to the retail industry:
• | | Retail Enterprise Systems. The modern retail enterprise is required to rapidly collect, organize, distribute and analyze, and optimize information throughout its organization.Retail Enterprise Systemsinclude corporate level merchandise management systems (“Merchandise Operations Systems”) that enable retailers to manage their inventory, product mix, pricing and promotional execution, and enhance the productivity and accuracy of warehouse processes. In addition,Retail Enterprise Systemsinclude a comprehensive set of tools for planning, buying, supplying, promoting and analyzing inventory decisions throughout the demand chain (“Strategic Merchandise Management Solutions”). |
• | | In-Store Systems.Store-level personnel require systems that enhance and facilitate the retailer’s direct interaction with the customer, and integrate the store-level operations into the overall business processes of the organization.In-Store Systems include point-of-sale, labor scheduling and back office applications that enable retailers to capture, analyze and transmit certain sales, store inventory and other operational information to corporate level merchandise management and payroll systems using hand-held, radio frequency devices, point-of-sale workstations or dedicated workstations. In addition,In-Store Systemsinclude a workforce management solution to optimize the scheduling of in-store labor which typically represents the next largest operational cost for a retailer after inventory. |
• | | Collaborative Solutions.Industry practices developed by retailers such as Wal*Mart, increasingly require consumer package goods manufacturers and distributors to collaborate with other participants in the demand chain. While these companies have historically focused on technology to support their ability to manufacture and supply products, this new era of collaboration with retailers has created a requirement for new technology solutions that are designed to optimize sales of products to end consumers through the retail channel.Collaborative Solutions provide applications that enable business-to-business collaborative activities such as collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment (“CPFR”), collaborative category management including collaborative space and assortment planning, and collaborative revenue management through trade funds management programs. OurCollaborative Solutionsofferings leverage existing solutions deployed to retailers within ourRetail Enterprise Systemsbusiness segment. |

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
We are a leading provider of sophisticated software solutions designed specifically to address the demand and supply chain management, business process, decision support, e-commerce, inventory optimization, collaborative planning and forecasting and store operations requirements of the retail industry and its suppliers. Our solutions enable customers to manage and optimize their inventory flows throughout the demand chain to the consumer, and provide optimized labor scheduling for retail store operations. Our customers include over 4,800 of the world’s leading retail, consumer package goods (“CPG”) manufacturers and wholesalers. We also offer maintenance services to our software customers, and enhance and support our software business by offering implementation and other services that are designed to enable our clients to rapidly achieve the benefits of our solutions. These services include project management, system planning, system design and implementation, custom configurations, and training services. Demand for our implementation consulting services is driven by, and often trails, sales of our software products. Consulting services revenues are generally somewhat more predictable but generate significantly lower gross margins than software license revenues.
Significant Trends and Developments in Our Business
Outlook for Third Quarter and Second Half of 2005. Software license sales may continue to vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter for the remainder of 2005. The current pipeline for larger software license transactions is stronger than it was at the
18
beginning of the year and that could positively impact our overall performance in the second half of 2005. However, it still remains difficult for us to predict whether and exactly when these transactions will close over the next nine months.
Second quarter 2005 provided a number of positive developments for JDA. First, it appears as though demand for merchandising systems may be returning. During second quarter 2005 we signed nine newMerchandising Operations Systemsdeals. For the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2005 we signed 23 newMerchandise Operations Systemsdeals compared to 17 in the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2004. We believe this activity and continued improvement in this important marketplace should have a positive impact on our operating performance over several quarters to come as we expect these sales to provide substantial services revenues. Secondly, we believe ourPortfolioEnabledsolutions have started to gain market acceptance. During second quarter 2005, two new customers commenced implementation ofPortfolioEnabledsolutions, bringing the total number ofPortfolioEnabledprojects from four at the end of first quarter 2005 to six at June 30, 2005. The most significant of these selections was made by a $29 billion, multi-format international retailer that operates hypermarkets, supermarkets, and convenience stores around the world. This customer selected our newPortfolio Replenishment Optimizationsolution after an extensive review of the marketplace. We believe this early validation of our next generation of solutions indicates that the unique capabilities and architecture of ourPortfolioEnabledsolutions can be compelling to Tier one retailers (i.e., retailers with revenues of $5 billion or more) as well as to Tier 2 retailers (i.e., retailers with revenues of $100 million to $5 billion).
An important component of our strategic operational plan for 2005 (“2005 Operating Plan”) is to improve the profitability of our services organization, primarily as a result of the actions undertaken in fourth quarter 2004 to increase the utilization of our services personnel through headcount reductions. Consulting services utilization was 49% in second quarter 2005 compared to 46% in the first quarter of 2005 and 45% in second quarter 2004. We have a number of initiatives underway to work on improving these results, which should also be helped by the increasing mix of merchandising systems in our sales pipeline. We currently expect our services revenues to remain flat in the third quarter 2005 compared to second quarter 2005. However, service margins may experience downward pressure in third quarter 2005 depending upon the level of use of our consultants in pre-sales and product development activities and considering that incentive compensation will be increased for our services group and all other teams in the Company if our software license revenues increase sequentially in the third quarter.
Our 2005 Operating Plan is designed to deliver higher profitability through a reduced cost structure, even if global spending levels for information technology or the overall market environment does not improve compared to 2004. We reduced our operating costs and improved our overall profitability in first half of 2005 as a result of the restructuring activities and cost reductions taken in fourth quarter 2004 in connection with the implementation of our 2005 Operating Plan. Additional restructuring charges were taken in the first half of 2005 to substantially complete this plan. The restructuring efforts reduced our total operating costs and expenses by $8.9 million (excluding restructuring charges and amortization of intangibles) in the first half of 2005 compared with the first half of 2004, and resulted in a $6.0 million increase in operating income in the first half of 2005 compared to the first half of 2004. Results for the first half of 2005 reflect the impact of a 15% lower average headcount versus the first half of 2004. Overall, total cost and operating expenses should be relatively flat in third quarter 2005 compared to second quarter 2005 unless our software results vary substantially between the two quarters, which will have an impact on incentive compensation for all teams in the Company. Total incentive compensation was $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2005 compared to $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2004.
Changes in Buying Patterns Continue to Impact our Operating Results. The retail industry and its suppliers continue to exercise significant due diligence prior to making large capital outlays, and the decision-making process for investments in information technology remains highly susceptible to deferral. Delays in the decision-making process have been, and may continue to be, the most significant issue affecting our software license revenue results. Delays in the customer decision-making processes have resulted from a number of factors including uncertain economic conditions, extended due diligence procedures designed to minimize risk, corporate reorganizations, consolidations within the industry, the appointment of new senior management, and the increasing trend by companies to seek board-level approval for all significant investments in information technology. As a result, our sales cycles remain elongated and we continue to experience uncertainty predicting the size and timing of individual contracts, particularly the closure of large software licenses ($1.0 million or greater), which continues to remain uneven from quarter-to-quarter. For example, we signed four large software licenses in second quarter 2005 compared to none in first quarter 2005, five in fourth quarter 2004 and one in third quarter 2004. Sales to new customers have historically required between three and nine months from generation of the sales lead to the execution of a software license agreement. Sales cycles are typically longer and more complex for larger dollar projects, large multi-national retail organizations and retailers in certain geographic regions.
19
We have historically recognized a substantial portion of our software license revenues under an Initial License Fee model. Under this license model, software license contracts are structured to enable the Company to recognize 100% of the software license revenue upon execution of the contract provided all of the revenue recognition criteria set forth in Statement of Position 97-2,Software Revenue Recognitionhave been met. However, due to the elongated sales cycles we are experiencing and the absence of a predictable base demand, we have begun to increasingly offer larger customers, particularly in the Americas region, the option to purchase software licenses under Proof of Concept and Milestone-Based licensing models in order to mitigate their risk aversion. Under the Proof of Concept license model, customers are allowed to try one or more of our solutions before they purchase them, either in a proof of concept, pilot, or prototype environment, or during the performance of business process analyses or benchmarking activities. We began offering these licensing models in the second half of 2004 and to date, we have started a total of 58 proof-of-concept and evaluation projects. We have successfully converted 20 of these projects into perpetual licenses (including six in the first quarter of 2005 and seven in the second quarter of 2005), three of the projects have been deferred indefinitely and 35 proof-of-concept projects are still open. The average time to conversion on proof-of-concept projects is subject to multiple variables, a number of which are outside our control, however, to date the time to conversion has ranged from two months to nearly one year. Additionally, we have not lost any of these transactions to competition, so there appears to be a high degree of reliability around this revenue stream. Under the Milestone-Based license model, payment of the software license fees are aligned with the achievement of defined milestones or deliverable objectives within an agreed timeframe. Until recently we offered Milestone-Based license models on largeMerchandise Operations Systemsimplementations only but we have now begun to extend the program to larger software license sales of ourStrategic Merchandise Management Solutionsas well. In the first half of 2005 milestone based software licenses accounted for 1% of total software license revenue recognized compared to 6% in the first half of 2004. Although the purchase of software licenses under the Proof of Concept and Milestone-Based licensing models initially delays the recognition of revenue, we believe these licensing models may improve our ability to get customers to commit to the investment in our products and to predict the timing of software license revenues, thereby over time, decreasing our dependence on the more unpredictable Initial License Fee model transactions. It is still too early to determine the timing and magnitude of the impact these new licensing models will have on our operating results.
Economic conditions and long replacement cycles have negatively impacted the demand for ourMerchandise Operations Systemssince 1998. Although we believe that significant growth in the transaction systems market will require sustained macroeconomic improvement, we have seen indications in recent quarters that companies are beginning to address long-standing issues in their enterprise systems environments, which could potentially signal a general improvement in demand for ourMerchandise Operations Systems. We continue to believe there are a substantial number of retailers worldwide who will ultimately be faced with the need to update their merchandise operations systems.
Similarly, ourIn-Store Systemsbusiness segment has been negatively impacted by slow economic conditions, lengthy replacement cycles and slow market acceptance of the new Java-based point-of-sale technology. We believe there is significant growth opportunity in the in-store systems market, however, we do not believe ourIn-Store Systemsbusiness segment will experience any significant organic growth until our Java-based in-store system applications become more functionally mature and competitive, early adopters complete their implementations and become referenceable, and there is sustained macroeconomic improvement.
Our Competitive Environment is Changing. Our industry has been going through a transition over the past few years that has resulted in fewer competitors in every significant product market we supply. Currently, we believe there are only two primary global competitors left for ourMerchandise Operations Systems, Oracle Corporation (which acquired Retek, Inc. on April 12, 2005) and SAP AG. Similarly, we believe the number of significant competitors for ourIn-Store Systems andStrategic Merchandise Management Solutionshave declined.
We do not believe Oracle’s acquisition of Retek, Inc. will have any significant impact on our near-term strategy. We will continue to consolidate our products onto a common technological platform and drive growth not only in the retail marketplace but also with the suppliers to the retail industry in the collaborative solutions marketplace. Although the acquisition has the potential to create some additional delays around decisions made by larger Tier 1 customers to purchase merchandise operations systems, we believe there are only a small number of these decisions made each year. In addition, we believe ourStrategic Merchandise Management Solutions, which bring together forecasting and replenishment, planning and category management solutions, provide a unique offering and a strong competitive advantage as neither Oracle Corporation or SAP AG currently offer comparable comprehensive solutions. We also believe that potential customers are far more likely to drive their software application decision processes based on the suite ofStrategic Merchandise Management Solutions a vendor is able to provide rather than on the financial or human resource systems that may be offered. The majority of our current software license transactions are forStrategic Merchandise
20
Management Solutions.Product revenues fromStrategic Merchandise Management Solutionstransactions can be as high as the revenues realized on sales ofMerchandise Operations Systems.
Software license revenues from existing customers represented 80% of software license revenues in first half 2005 compared to 70% in first half 2004. We believe that sales of add-on products to existing customers will continue to comprise a majority of our software revenues and that this metric is a direct result of our large customer base, principally amassed through our acquisition activities in 2000 and 2001, and the focus we have and will continue to place on back-selling opportunities for both our existingJDA PortfolioSynchronizedproducts and our next generationPortfolioEnabledproducts. Over the past five years, the acquisition ofStrategic Merchandise Management Solutionssuch asPortfolio Space Management by IntactixandPortfolio Replenishment by E3have provided significant back-selling and growth opportunities in our customer base as 60% of our retail customer base and substantially all of our CPG manufacturers and wholesale customers still only own applications from one of our product families. We believe that once a customer has purchased multiple products from us, we are more likely to be viewed as a strategic partner in terms of their information systems strategy rather than simply a “point solution provider.”
Business Opportunities and Growth Strategies.We continue to believe there are three distinct growth opportunities in the current economic environment:
| • | | Offer value propositions in our products and licensing models that make the purchase of our solutions easier and reduce the customers’ risk of investment. Many of our prospective customers have had poor experiences with other information technology vendors. Based on these experiences, prospective customers are often reluctant to incur the “upfront” license fees in our traditional Initial License Fee model because it places much of the risk of a difficult implementation on the customer. To address our customers’ concerns and overcome their caution, we have begun to increasingly offer larger customers the option to purchase software licenses under Proof of Concept and Milestone-Based licensing models in order to mitigate their risk aversion. We do not plan to offer these kinds of contractual terms for smaller transactions, which we believe will continue to close as they have historically. We anticipate these new licensing models will result in extended software license revenue streams that will be advantageous in the longer run; however they may reduce revenues in the near term. We further expect to realize greater average selling prices in larger transactions under the Proof of Concept and Milestone-Based licensing models than have been realized historically under our Initial License Fee model. |
|
| • | | Generate new business opportunities with existing and prospective customers with next generationJDA Portfolioproducts. We believe our next generation ofJDA Portfolioproducts,PortfolioEnabled, will create opportunities with prospective customers who seek a single, integrated solution that combines the retail disciplines of planning, assortment, purchasing, allocations and replenishment. We are encouraged that six customers have implementations of these products underway, of which four are Tier 1 retailers. We do not currently expect to be able to estimate the rate of acceptance of these new products until late 2005 or early 2006 after we have some live, referenceable customers and can assess the overall quality of the sales pipeline for these products. As with all new product adoption curves, we expect progress to be slow initially and then accelerate once early adopters of thePortfolioEnabledapplications begin to “go live.” The initialPortfolioEnabledsolutions may not offer every capability of their predecessor products but will offer other advantages such as an advanced technology platform, the ability ofPROto install on Unix/Oracle environments utilizing Microsoft .Net application services componentry with subsequent releases to include Microsoft SQL 2005, or other significant functional advantages such as “planning by attribute” capabilities in theEnterprise Planning by Arthursolution. Further, thePortfolioEnabledproducts do offer some significant capabilities that go beyond the current generation products they are replacing, and as a result, we believe they are in and of themselves competitive in the marketplace. On this basis, thePortfolioEnabledproducts may initially be more attractive to new customers during competitive bids, as opposed to existing customers for upgrade cycles. Sales cycles to new customers tend to be more elongated than those to existing customers who already have contracts in place with us and prior experience with our products. We also believe there will be opportunities to sell new add-on solutions to those customers that do choose to move to thePortfolioEnabledversions of theJDA Portfolioapplications. |
|
| • | | Expansion of our business into areas that are complementary to our traditional retail base. We have begun to develop and deploy broader and more sophisticated solutions to the non-retail market. Our newOptimize on Demandsolution has taken the basicSpace Planning by Intactixapplication and expanded it into a strategic category management offering, including additional JDA applications. In addition, we are developing new solutions around business practices such as sales and operations planning that will add to our growing complement of non-retail solutions. Finally, we continue to grow our collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment (“CPFR”) business and now have 275 trading partners worldwide with |
21
| | | an estimated annual trading value of over $4.5 billion who are live and fully operational on ourMarketplace ReplenishmentCPFR solution that enables manufacturers, distributors and retailers to work from a single, shared demand forecast. We will continue to search for acquisition opportunities to further develop ourCollaborative Solutionsbusiness. |
Long-Term Prospects For The In-Store Systems Business Segment Are Promising, But Recent Results Are Below Expectations. TheIn-Store Systemsbusiness segment provided $8.3 million, or 8% of our total revenues in first half 2005 compared to $9.7 million, or 9% in first half 2004. TheIn-Store Systemsbusiness segment has been negatively impacted in recent years by poor economic conditions that have caused retailers to delay major capital appropriations and by what we believe is a major platform transition as market demand moves from Window-based to Java-based point-of-sale applications. We do not believe ourIn-Store Systemsbusiness segment will experience any significant organic growth until our Java-based in-store system applications become more functionally mature and competitive, early adopters complete their implementations and become referenceable, and there is sustained macroeconomic improvement. Industry surveys indicate that point-of-sales systems are becoming an increased priority for retailers, and we believe potential customers may look to partner with broad solutions providers such as JDA that can bring all aspects of store operations into one integrated suite, including point-of-sale tilling functions, in-store inventory management functions, customer relationship management, space planning and workforce management solutions, rather than software vendors that only offer in-store systems. Accordingly, we believe the long-term prospects for our Java-based in-store system applications and theIn-Store Systemsbusiness segment are promising, in part because we believe we are positioned to take advantage of this anticipated replacement cycle for point-of-sales systems that is being driven by a shift to new technology platforms. However, the timing and full impact of the replacement cycle is unclear.
We Continue to Invest Heavily in New Product Development. We invested $22.4 million in first half 2005 in new product development compared to $27.2 million in the first half 2004. Since 1996, we have invested approximately $456 million in new product development and the acquisition of complementary products. The acquisitions of Arthur and Timera extended our product offerings in theRetail Enterprise SystemsandIn-Store Systemssegments of our business. The acquisitions of Intactix, NeoVista Decision Series, E3, Vista, and Engage not only have expanded our product offerings, but have also provided us with collaborative applications that address new vertical market opportunities with the manufacturers and wholesalers who supply our traditional retail customers. We believe our strategy of expanding our product portfolio and increasing the scalability of our products has been the key element in attracting larger retail customers, and we believe that it has resulted in new customers licensing multiple products, as well as enhanced back-selling opportunities in our customer base.
We are developing a series of enhancements and the next generation ofJDA Portfolioproducts,PortfolioEnabled, based primarily upon the .Net Platform that we believe will position us uniquely in the retail and collaborative solutions markets. We will continue to offerPortfolioEnabled applications that operate with other market accepted platforms such as Oracle, the IBM iSeries platform where feasible, and where appropriate, Java-based technology. Our goals are to ensure that our solutions offer: (i) increased ease of use, (ii) increased integration of business processes, (iii) reduced cost of ownership, (iv) faster implementation, and (v) faster return on investment. We will continue selling the equivalentPortfolio Synchronizedversions of these products until the newPortfolioEnabledsolutions have achieved critical mass in the marketplace.
Consistent with our 2005 Operating Plan, we have begun to leverage our past investment in product development by reducing our level of product development expenditures, in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenues. We have begun the transition process to our newPortfolioEnabled solutions, and as a result, we are now reducing the “double investment” in products that we have endured over the past two years.JDA Portfolioversion 2005.1, the fourth synchronized release of our products, was released in first quarter 2005 and included enhancements to virtually all of our existing products that will enable them to maintain their competitive edge. In first quarter 2005 we released the first versions of thePortfolioEnabledsolutions beginning withPortfolio Replenishment Optimization by E3andPortfolio Knowledge Base. In second quarter 2005 we releasedEnterprise Planning by Arthur, aPortfolioEnabledsolution that will ultimately replace certain of thePortfolio Planning Solutions by Arthur, includingMerchandise Planning by ArthurandAssortment Planning by Arthur. This has been a significant investment by the Company as we have been building this next generation of products while developingJDA Portfolioversion 2005.1. With the realignment of our resources at the end of 2004 we have now increased our focus on the development of thePortfolioEnabledsolutions, reduced our investment in existingJDA Portfolio products going forward, and will leverage the most current release of these applications.
TheJDA Portfolio Investment Protection Programprovides existing customers with a platform transfer right to the new .Net Platform, if and when available, at no additional license fee under certain conditions. Customers will pay any required third party
22
charges associated with the new platform. We will encourage our customers to move to the .Net Platform; however, at this time we are unable to estimate how many of our existing customers will take advantage of this program. A similar investment protection program is available forIn-Store Systemscustomers, which provides a platform transfer right fromWin/DSStoPPOS.Approximately one-third of our domesticWin/DSS customers have indicated they intend to participate in theIn-Store Systemsinvestment protection program.
We Intend to Continue to Grow Our Business Through Acquisitions.We believe there are opportunities to grow our business through the acquisition of complementary and synergistic companies, products and technologies. We have historically looked at cash acquisitions in the $5 million to $25 million range that could be readily integrated, accretive to earnings, or that could shorten our time to market with new technologies. We are now focusing our acquisition strategy on larger companies, particularly those that have significant recurring revenues or that will increase the breadth of ourJDA Portfolioofferings in theCollaborative Solutionsbusiness segment, and acquisitions that can be accretive to earnings in a relatively short period of time post transaction and which can provide significant strategic growth opportunities for the Company.
We Recorded An Additional Restructuring Charge in First Half 2005 Related To Our 2005 Operating Plan.We recorded a restructuring charge of $2.4 million in first half 2005 to complete the restructuring initiatives contemplated in our 2005 Operating Plan. This charge, which includes termination benefits and net rentals remaining under existing operating leases on certain vacated facilities, is in addition to the $3.1 million restructuring charge recorded in fourth quarter 2004 which also included termination benefits and the negotiated buyout or net rentals remaining under existing operating leases on certain facilities that were vacated by December 31, 2004. The restructuring initiatives included a consolidation of product lines, a net workforce reduction of approximately 12% or 154 FTE worldwide, and a reduction of certain office space in the United States and Northern Europe. The net workforce reduction included certain employees involved in the product development (78 FTE), consulting services and training (57 FTE), sales and marketing (20 FTE), and administrative (13 FTE) functions in the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific, offset by a net gain of 14 FTE in the customer support function resulting from the transfer of 20 developers and functional experts into the new Customer Directed Development (“CDD”) organization structure within our Customer Support Solutions group. The CDD group is responsible for improving the speed and efficiency of the Company’s issue resolution, support and enhancements for maintenance customers. A total of 110 FTE were terminated or open positions eliminated through December 31, 2004 with an additional 44 FTE terminated during the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Management believes the restructuring initiatives in the 2005 Operating Plan will allow us to generate substantially higher profits if revenue levels for 2005 are comparable to 2004. Specifically, management believes the restructuring initiatives are enabling JDA to (i) streamline operations and reduce duplicate investments in product development by consolidating significant portions of the existing product suite on the .Net and Java platforms used in thePortfolioEnabled products, (ii) maximize the return from the Company’s ongoing investments in advanced technology for the delivery of highly specialized services via the Internet and internal administrative systems, and (iii) better align the Company’s operating strategies to identified growth areas in the market. Based upon the second quarter 2005 operating results, JDA is realizing an annualized cost reduction of approximately $15 million since the 2005 Operating Plan has been fully implemented.
Our Financial Position is Strong and We Have Positive Operating Cash Flow. Our financial position remains strong and as of June 30, 2005 we had $93.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, as compared to $97.1 million at December 31, 2004. We generated $7.5 million in positive cash flow from operations during first half 2005 compared to $15.0 million in first half 2004. Cash flow from operations in the first half of 2004 was larger than the first half of 2005 due to a $4.3 million decrease in accounts receivable which resulted from improved collection results, increases in accounts payable and deferred revenue of $1.7 million and $4.3 million, respectively, and a $3.9 million decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities which resulted primarily from the payment of incentive compensation accrued in fourth quarter 2003. In addition, cash flow from operations in the first half of 2005 was reduced by the $2.9 million cash impact of our restructuring initiatives. During the first half of 2005 we used $8.7 million to buyback 747,500 shares of our stock on the open market. We believe our cash position is sufficient to meet our operating needs for the foreseeable future.

Retail Enterprise Systems.The increase in software license revenues in this business segment in second quarter 2005 compared to second quarter 2004 resulted primarily from the closure of four new software license deals of $1.0 million or more that included bothMerchandise Operations SystemsandStrategic Merchandise Management Solutions. Second quarter 2004 contained no new software license deals of $1.0 million or more, however, the quarterly results did include the recognition of a large milestone-based software installment in excess of $1.0 million.
In-Store Systems.Software license revenues in this business segment decreased in second quarter 2005 compared to second quarter 2004 as sales results continue to be below expectations. We did sign a large new proof-of-concept license in second quarter 2005 that has not yet met the criteria for revenue recognition.
Collaborative Solutions.Software license revenues in this business segment decreased in second quarter 2005 compared to second quarter 2004 due to a decrease in sales ofStrategic Merchandise Management Solutions,offset in part by a 32% increase in license revenues fromMarketplace Replenishment, our collaborative specific CPFR solution which is sold on a subscription basis.
Regional Results. Software license revenues in the Americas region decreased in second quarter 2005 compared to second quarter 2004 primarily due to a 61% decrease inIn-Store Systemssoftware license revenues, offset in part by a 31% increase inCollaborative Solutionssoftware license revenues. The Americas region had two new software license deals of $1.0 million or more in second quarter 2005 compared to none in second quarter 2004. Software license revenues in the Europe region increased in second quarter 2005 compared to second quarter 2004 primarily due to an 83% increase inRetail Enterprise Systemssoftware license revenues, offset in part by a 65% decrease inCollaborative Solutionssoftware license revenues. The Europe region had one new software license deal of $1.0 million or more in second quarter 2005 compared to none in second quarter 2004. Results in the Europe region were impacted by operational issues and management changes throughout 2004. We appointed a new Regional Vice President of the Europe region in January 2005. Software license revenues in the Asia/Pacific region increased in second quarter 2005 compared to second quarter 2004 primarily due to one largeRetail Enterprise Systemssoftware license deal in excess of $1.0 million. There were no significantIn-Store Systemssales in the Europe or Asia/Pacific regions in second quarter 2005 or 2004.
Maintenance Services.The increase in maintenance services revenue in second quarter 2005 compared to second quarter 2004 is due primarily to new software license sales ofStrategic Merchandise Management Solutionsin the past twelve months and the correlating increase in our installed customer base, and approximately $480,000 of favorable foreign exchange effects.
Service Revenues
Service revenues include consulting services, hosting services, training revenues, net revenues from our hardware reseller business and reimbursed expenses. The decrease in service revenues in second quarter 2005 compared to second quarter 2004 resulted primarily from decreases in implementation services forStrategic Merchandise Management Solutions, particularly in the Europe region where several large projects were completed, and forIn-Store Systemsdue to the lower software license sales in that business segment over the past twelve months. We have reduced the headcount in our consulting services group over the past twelve months due primarily to the reduced demand for implementation services associated with certain of ourMerchandise Operations Systems, Strategic Merchandise Management SolutionsandIn-Store Systemsapplications. Utilization rates for consulting services increased to 49% in second quarter 2005 compared to 45% in second quarter 2004; however average billing rates in the current quarter decreased to $192 per hour from $203 per hour last year. We have not adjusted our billing rates; rather, the mix of work among our geographic regions and product lines has changed between the comparable quarters. Net revenues from our hardware reseller business decreased 39% to $424,000 in second quarter 2005 compared to $701,000 in second quarter 2004.
27
Fixed bid consulting services work represented approximately 18% of total consulting services revenue in both second quarter 2005 and second quarter 2004.
Cost of Product Revenues
Cost of Software Licenses.The decrease in cost of software licenses in second quarter 2005 compared to second quarter 2004 resulted primarily from a lower number of transactions that involved the resale of third party software applications, particularly Oracle licenses.
Amortization of Acquired Software Technology. Amortization of acquired software technology was flat in second quarter 2005 compared to second quarter 2004 as there have been no new acquisitions since the acquisition of Timera in January 2004.
Cost of Maintenance Services.The increase in cost of maintenance services in second quarter 2005 compared to second quarter 2004 resulted primarily from a 9% increase in average maintenance services headcount due to the transfer of 20 developers and functional experts into the new Customer Directed Development group within our customer support organization, higher incentive compensation due to improved Company performance and increased royalties on the maintenance stream from products with embedded third party software, offset in part by a $224,000 decrease in cost transfers due to a reduced utilization of consulting services employees in customer support activities. As of June 30, 2005 we had 179 associates in our customer support organization compared to 157 at June 30, 2004.
Cost of Service Revenues
The decrease in cost of service revenues in second quarter 2005 compared to second quarter 2004 resulted primarily from a 23% decrease in average consulting services headcount, offset in part by higher incentive compensation and a $611,000 decrease in cost transfers between the comparable quarters related to consulting services employees who were used to support presales, product development and customer support activities. As of June 30, 2005 we had 325 service associates compared to 416 at June 30, 2004.
Gross Profit
The increase in gross profit dollars and gross profit percentage in second quarter 2005 compared to second quarter 2004 resulted primarily from the increases in software license and maintenance revenues, in dollars and as a percentage of total revenues, as these revenue sources carry higher gross profit margins than services.
The decrease in service revenue margins in second quarter 2005 compared to second quarter 2004 resulted primarily from higher incentive compensation, the $611,000 decrease in cost transfers related to consulting services employees who were used to support presales and product development activities and a $277,000, or 39% decrease in net revenues from our hardware reseller business. Excluding the net revenues from the hardware reseller business, service margins were 18% in second quarter 2005 compared to 21% in second quarter 2004.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses, excluding amortization of intangibles and restructuring charges and adjustments to acquisition-related reserves decreased 13% in second quarter 2005 compared to second quarter 2004, and represented 50% and 58% of total revenues in each quarter, respectively. The decrease in operating expenses includes a decrease in salaries, benefits and travel costs related to the headcount reductions in the restructuring initiatives undertaken during fourth quarter 2004 and first half 2005, lower outside legal fees due to reduced litigation activities, and lower marketing costs. These reductions were partially offset by higher incentive compensation due to the Company’s improved operating performance and a higher bad debt provision.
Product Development.The decrease in product development expense in second quarter 2005 compared to second quarter 2004 resulted primarily from a 26% decrease in average product development headcount related to the restructuring initiatives, offset in part by higher incentive compensation. As of June 30, 2005, we had 305 employees in the product development function compared to 411 at June 30, 2004.
28
Sales and Marketing.The decrease in sales and marketing expense in second quarter 2005 compared to second quarter 2004 resulted primarily from a 16% decrease in average sales and marketing headcount related to the restructuring initiatives, a $316,000 decrease in cost transfers due to a reduced utilization of consulting services employees in presales activities and reduced participation in external trade shows. As of June 30, 2005, we had 131 employees in the sales and marketing function compared to 163 at June 30, 2004. These totals include 60 and 77 direct sales representatives, respectively.
General and Administrative.The increase in general and administrative expenses in second quarter 2005 compared to second quarter 2004 resulted from a $500,000 higher bad debt provision, higher incentive compensation and an increased investment in our IT initiatives, offset in part by lower outside legal fees. As of June 30, 2005 we had 148 administrative employees compared to 157 at June 30, 2004.
Amortization of Intangibles.Amortization of intangibles in second quarter 2005 was flat compared to second quarter 2004 as there have been no new acquisitions since the acquisition of Timera in January 2004.
Restructuring Charge and Adjustments to Acquisition-Related Reserves.We recorded an $880,000 restructuring charge in second quarter 2005 related to the completion of the restructuring initiatives contemplated in our 2005 Operating Plan. This charge, which includes termination benefits and net rentals remaining under existing operating leases on certain vacated facilities, is in addition to the $3.1 million and $1.6 million restructuring charges recorded in fourth quarter 2004 and first quarter of 2005, respectively. The second quarter 2005 charge included $477,000 in termination benefits for 8 FTE and $417,000 for the net rentals remaining under an existing operating leases on certain vacated facilities.
Operating Income (Loss)
We produced operating income of $3.9 million in second quarter 2005 compared to an operating loss of $447,000 in second quarter 2004. The increase in the operating income is due to a 9% increase in product revenues and the cost reductions that have resulted from our restructuring initiatives, offset in part by a $1.9 million increase in total incentive compensation in second quarter 2005 compared to second quarter 2004.
Operating income in ourRetail Enterprise Systemsbusiness segment increased to $9.6 million in second quarter 2005 compared to $4.3 million in second quarter 2004. The increase in operating income in this business segment resulted from a $3.0 million increase in total revenues, a 22% decrease in product development costs and a 9% decrease in allocated sales and marketing costs based upon the pro rata share of software sales that came from this business segment.
The operating loss in ourIn-Store Systemsbusiness segment increased to $248,000 in second quarter 2005 compared to $118,000 in second quarter 2004. The increase in the operating loss in this business segment resulted from a $1.4 million decrease in total revenues, offset in part by a 53% decrease in allocated sales and marketing costs based upon the pro rata share of software sales that came from this business segment and a 20% decrease in product development costs.
Operating income in ourCollaborative Solutionsbusiness segment increased to $3.2 million in second quarter 2005 compared to $2.5 million in second quarter 2004. The increase in the operating income in this business segment resulted from a 30% decrease in allocated sales and marketing costs based upon the pro rata share of software sales that came from this business segment and a 15% decrease in product development costs, offset in part by a $771,000 decrease in total revenues.

Product Revenues
Software Licenses.
Retail Enterprise Systems.The decrease in software license revenues in this business segment in first half 2005 compared to first half 2004 resulted from a decrease in sales ofStrategic Merchandise Management Solutions,primarily due to delays in large deal closures in the Americas region during first quarter 2005, offset in part by an increase in sales ofMerchandise Operations Systems.TheRetail Enterprise Systemsbusiness segment had four new software license deals of $1.0 million or more in first half 2005 compared to one in first half 2004. First half 2004 also included the recognition of a large milestone-based software installment in excess of $1.0 million.
In-Store Systems.The decrease in software license revenues in this business segment in first half 2005 compared to first half 2004 resulted primarily from our inability to recognize a significant new proof-of-concept license due to the criteria for revenue recognition not being met. In addition, first half 2004 software license revenues included a large license sold as part of a $1.5 million multi-product deal that also includedStrategic Merchandise Management Solutions.
Collaborative Solutions.Software license revenues in this business segment increased modestly in first half 2005 compared to first half 2004. Licenses revenues forMarketplace Replenishment, our collaborative specific CPFR solution which is sold on a subscription basis, increased 38% in first half 2005 compared to first half 2004 and is the primary component of the increase.
Regional Results. Software license revenues in the Americas region decreased in first half 2005 compared to first half 2004 primarily due to weaker than expected software license sales and delays in the closure of certain deals in this region during first quarter 2005, particularly those involving larger software licenses.

Service Revenues
Service revenues include consulting services, hosting services, training revenues, net revenues from our hardware reseller business and reimbursed expenses. The decrease in service revenues in first half 2005 compared to first half 2004 resulted primarily from decreases in implementation services forStrategic Merchandise Management Solutions, particularly in the Europe region where several large projects were completed. We have reduced the headcount in our consulting services group over the past twelve months due to lower software sales and reduced demand for implementation services associated with certain of ourMerchandise Operations Systems, Strategic Merchandise Management SolutionsandIn-Store Systemsapplications. Net revenues from our hardware reseller business decreased 36% to $935,000 in first half 2005 from $1.5 million in first half 2004 which included a large hardware transaction.
Fixed bid consulting services work represented 17% of total consulting services revenue in first half 2005 compared to 16% in first half 2004.
Cost of Product Revenues
Cost of Software Licenses.The decrease in cost of software licenses in first half 2005 compared to first half 2004 resulted from a lower number of transactions that involved the resale of third party software applications, particularly Oracle licenses.
Amortization of Acquired Software Technology. Amortization of acquired software technology was flat in first half 2005 compared to first half 2004 as there have been no new acquisitions since the acquisition of Timera in January 2004.
Cost of Maintenance Services.The increase in cost of maintenance services in first half 2005 compared to first half 2004 resulted primarily from a 5% increase in average maintenance services headcount due to the transfer of 20 developers and functional experts into the new Customer Directed Development group within our customer support organization, annual salary increases in April 2004, higher incentive compensation, and higher training costs related to the Microsoft .Net Platform and our next generationPortfolioEnabledproducts and our Customer Directed Development group, offset in part by a $310,000 decrease in cost transfers due to a reduced utilization of consulting services employees in customer support activities.

between the comparable periods related to consulting services employees who were used to support presales, product development and customer support activities.
Gross Profit
The decrease in gross profit dollars in first half 2005 compared to first half 2004 resulted primarily from the decrease in software license revenues and lower service revenue margins, offset in part by the increase in maintenance services revenue. The gross profit percentage was flat in first half 2005 compared to first half 2004.
The decrease in service revenue margins in first half 2005 compared to first half 2004 resulted primarily from higher incentive compensation, the $823,000 decrease in cost transfers related to consulting services employees who were used to support presales, product development and customer support activities and a $535,000, or 36% decrease in net revenues from our hardware reseller business. Excluding the net revenues from the hardware reseller business, service margins were 19% in first half 2005 compared to 23% in first half 2004.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses, excluding amortization of intangibles and restructuring charges and adjustments to acquisition-related reserves decreased 13% in first half 2005 compared to first half 2004, and represented 51% and 57% of total revenues in each period, respectively. The decrease in operating expenses includes a decrease in salaries, benefits, travel and training costs related to the headcount reductions in the restructuring initiatives undertaken during fourth quarter 2004 and first half 2005, lower outside legal fees due to reduced litigation activities, decreased usage of outside contractors in ourPortfolioEnabledproduct development activities, lower insurance costs and lower marketing costs. These reductions were partially offset by higher incentive compensation due to the Company’s improved operating performance.
Product Development.The decrease in product development expense in first half 2005 compared to first half 2004 resulted primarily from a 21% decrease in average product development headcount related to the restructuring initiatives, a $515,000 decrease in the use of outside contractors in ourPortfolioEnabledproduct development activities, and $301,000 higher vendor cost reimbursement for acceleration of certain funded development activities, offset in part by salary increases in April 2004 and higher incentive compensation.

Amortization of Intangibles.Amortization of intangibles in first half 2005 was flat compared to first half 2004 as there have been no new acquisitions since the acquisition of Timera in January 2004.
Restructuring Charge and Adjustments to Acquisition-Related Reserves.We recorded a restructuring charge of $2.4 million in first half 2005 to complete the restructuring initiatives contemplated in our 2005 Operating Plan. This charge, which includes termination benefits and net rentals remaining under existing operating leases on certain vacated facilities, is in addition to the $3.1 million restructuring charge recorded in fourth quarter 2004 which also included termination benefits and the negotiated buyout or net rentals remaining under existing operating leases on certain facilities that were vacated by December 31, 2004. The first half 2005 restructuring charge includes $2.0 million in termination benefits for 44 FTE and $423,000 for the net rentals remaining under existing operating leases on certain vacated facilities.
32
We recorded a $2.7 million restructuring charge in first half 2004 for $1.8 million in termination benefits related to a workforce reduction of 47 full-time employees (“FTE”), primarily in sales (15 FTE) and consulting services (18 FTE) functions in the Americas, Europe and Asia/Pacific, and $899,000 for closure costs of certain offices in the Americas and Europe that were either under-performing or under-utilized and used primarily by consulting services personnel. All workforce reductions and office closures associated with this charge were made on or before March 31, 2004.
During first half 2004, we also recorded a $125,000 net increase to our acquisition-related reserves primarily due to an increase in the estimated facility closure costs recorded in connection with the acquisition of E3 Corporation.
Operating Income (Loss)
We produced operating income of $3.6 million in first half 2005 compared to an operating loss of $2.4 million in first half 2004. The increase in operating income is due to the higher mix of product revenues as a percentage of total revenues and the cost reductions that have resulted from our restructuring initiatives in fourth quarter 2004 and first half 2005, offset in part by a $1.9 million increase in total incentive compensation in first half 2005 compared to first half 2004.
Operating income in ourRetail Enterprise Systemsbusiness segment increased to $15.2 million in first half 2005 compared to $9.3 million in first half 2004.

The income tax provision (benefit) recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 takes into account the source of taxable income, domestically by state and internationally by country, and available income tax credits, and do not include the tax benefits realized from the employee stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 of $80,000 and $55,000, respectively. These tax benefits reduce our income tax liabilities and are included as an increase to additional paid-in capital.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had working capital of $96.8 million at June 30, 2005 compared to $94.8 million at December 31, 2004. Cash and marketable securities at June 31, 2005 were $93.9 million, a decrease of $3.2 million from the $97.1 million reported at December 31, 2004. The decrease in working capital and our cash and marketable securities balances during the six months ended June 30, 2005 resulted primarily from the repurchase of 747,500 shares of our common stock for $8.7 million, offset in part by the net cash provided by operating activities.
Net accounts receivable were $40.3 million or 66 days sales outstanding (“DSOs”) at June 30, 2005 compared to $39.5 million, or 62 days sales outstanding (“DSOs”) at December 31, 2004. DSOs may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis due to a number of factors including seasonality, shifts in customer buying patterns, the timing of annual maintenance renewals, lengthened contractual payment terms in response to competitive pressures, the underlying mix of products and services, and the geographic concentration of revenues.
Operating activitiesprovided cash of $7.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 and $15.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004. The principle sources of our cash flow from operations are typically net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization, collections on accounts receivable, and increases in deferred maintenance revenue. Cash flow from operations in the six months ended June 30, 2005 was lower due to the timing of customer payments on accounts receivable, a smaller increase in deferred revenue balances and the $2.9 million cash impact of our restructuring initiatives, offset in part by a $4.1 million increase in net income that resulted from an $8.9 million reduction in operating costs between periods.
34
Investing activitiesutilized cash of $2.0 million in six months ended June 30, 2005 and $30.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004. Net cash utilized by investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2005 includes $2.6 million in capital expenditures and $1.2 million in payments received on the promissory note receivable from Silvon Software, Inc. Net cash utilized by investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2004 includes $23.8 million in cash expended to purchase our corporate office facility, $13.6 million in cash expended to acquire Timera Texas, Inc. and $5.8 million in other capital expenditures. All other variances between the six months ended June 30, 2005 and the six months ended June 30, 2004 are due to normal maturing and reinvesting of marketable securities.
Financing activitiesutilized cash of $7.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 and provided cash of $422,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2004. The activity in both periods includes proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our stock option plans. Financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2005 also includes the repurchase of 747,500 shares of our common stock for $8.7 million.
Changes in the currency exchange rates of our foreign operationshad the effect of decreasing cash by $1.4 million and $577,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The change in the six months ended June 30, 2005 is due to a slight improvement of the US Dollar against major foreign currencies including the Euro and the British Pound. We use derivative financial instruments, primarily forward exchange contracts, to manage a majority of the short-term foreign currency exchange exposure associated with foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities which exist as part of our ongoing business operations. The exposures relate primarily to the gain or loss recognized in earnings from the revaluation or settlement of current foreign denominated assets and liabilities. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The forward exchange contracts generally have maturities of less than 90 days, and are not designated as hedging instruments under Financial Accounting Standard No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities(“SFAS No. 133”). Forward exchange contracts are marked-to-market at the end of each reporting period, with gains and losses recognized in other income, net, offset by the gains or losses resulting from the settlement of the underlying foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.
We Intend to Continue to Grow Our Business Through Acquisitions.We believe there are opportunities to grow our business through the acquisition of complementary and synergistic companies, products and technologies. We have historically looked at cash acquisitions in the $5 million to $25 million range that could be readily integrated, accretive to earnings, or that could shorten our time to market with new technologies. We are now focusing our acquisition strategy on larger companies, particularly those that have significant recurring revenues or that will increase the breadth of ourJDA Portfolioofferings in theCollaborative Solutionsbusiness segment, and acquisitions that can be accretive to earnings in a relatively short period of time post transaction and which can provide significant strategic growth opportunities for the Company.
Any material acquisition could result in a decrease to our working capital depending on the amount, timing and nature of the consideration to be paid. In addition, any material acquisitions of complementary or synergistic companies, products or technologies could require that we obtain additional equity financing. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available or that, if available, such financing will be obtained on terms favorable to us and would not result in additional dilution to our stockholders.
Treasury Stock Repurchase Program.On February 15, 2005, our Board of Directors approved a program to repurchase from time to time at management’s discretion up to one million shares of the Company’s common stock on the open market or in private transactions until January 26, 2006 at prevailing market prices. The program was adopted as part of our revised approach to equity compensation, which will emphasize performance-based awards to employees and open market stock repurchases by the Company designed to mitigate or eliminate dilution
35
from future employee and director equity-based incentives. The repurchase of shares under this program will result in a decrease to our working capital. Through June 30, 2005, we have purchased a total of 747,500 shares of our common stock for $8.7 million under this program.
Accelerated Vesting of Options.On February 15, 2005, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved the immediate vesting of all unvested stock options previously awarded to employees, officers and directors. The accelerated options were issued under our 1995 Stock Option Plan, 1996 Stock Option Plan, 1996 Outside Director Stock Option Plan and 1998 Non-statutory Stock Option Plan. The closing market price per share of our common stock on February 15, 2005 was $11.85 and the exercise prices of the approximately 1.4 million in unvested options on that date ranged from $8.50 to $28.20. The exercise of vested stock options would increase our working capital. See Critical Accounting Policies for additional discussion.
We believe our cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities, and net cash provided from operations will provide adequate liquidity to meet our normal operating requirements for the foreseeable future. A major component of our positive cash flow is the collection of accounts receivable. We invest our excess cash in short-term, interest-bearing instruments that have a low risk of capital loss, such as U.S. government securities, commercial paper and corporate bonds, and money market securities. Commercial paper must be rated “1” by 2 of the 5 nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. Corporate bonds must be rated Aa2 or AA or better by Moody’s and S&P, respectively.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. There have been no changes in our critical accounting policies during second quarter 2005. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. The preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| • | | Revenue recognition. Our revenue recognition policy is significant because our revenue is a key component of our results of operations. In addition, our revenue recognition determines the timing of certain expenses such as commissions and royalties. We follow specific and detailed guidelines in measuring revenue; however, certain judgments affect the application of our revenue policy. |
|
| | | We license software primarily under non-cancelable agreements and provide related services, including consulting, training and customer support. We recognize revenue in accordance with Statement of Position 97-2 (“SOP 97-2”),Software Revenue Recognition, as amended and interpreted by Statement of Position 98-9,Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, with respect to certain transactions, as well as Technical Practice Aids issued from time to time by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104,Revenue Recognition,that provides further interpretive guidance for public companies on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. |
|
| | | Software license revenue is generally recognized using the residual method when: |
| Ø | | Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and a license agreement has been signed; |
|
| Ø | | Delivery, which is typically FOB shipping point, is complete; |
|
| Ø | | Fees are fixed and determinable and there are no uncertainties surrounding product acceptance; |
|
| Ø | | Collection is considered probable; and |
|
| Ø | | Vendor-specific evidence of fair value (“VSOE”) exists for all undelivered elements. |
Our customer arrangements typically contain multiple elements that include software, options for future purchases of software products not previously licensed to the customer, maintenance, consulting and training services. The fees from these arrangements are allocated to the various elements based on VSOE. Under the residual method, if an arrangement contains an undelivered element, the VSOE of the
36
| | undelivered element is deferred and the revenue recognized once the element is delivered. If we are unable to determine VSOE for any undelivered element included in an arrangement, we will defer revenue recognition until all elements have been delivered. In addition, if a software license contains milestones, customer acceptance criteria or a cancellation right, the software revenue is recognized upon the achievement of the milestone or upon the earlier of customer acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period or cancellation right. |
|
| | Maintenance services are separately priced and stated in our arrangements. Maintenance services typically include on-line support, access to our Solution Centers via telephone and web interfaces, comprehensive error diagnosis and correction, and the right to receive unspecified upgrades and enhancements, when and if we make them generally available. Maintenance services are generally billed on a monthly basis and recorded as revenue in the applicable month, or billed on an annual basis with the revenue initially deferred and recognized ratably over the maintenance period. VSOE for maintenance services is the price customers will be required to pay when it is sold separately, typically the renewal rate. |
|
| | Consulting and training services are separately priced and stated in our arrangements, are generally available from a number of suppliers, and are not essential to the functionality of our software products. Consulting services include project management, system planning, design and implementation, customer configurations, and training. These services are generally billed bi-weekly on an hourly basis or pursuant to the terms of a fixed price contract. Consulting services revenue billed on an hourly basis is recognized as the work is performed. Under fixed price contracts, including milestone-based arrangements, consulting services revenue is recognized using the percentage of completion method of accounting described in Statement of Position 81-1,Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts, by relating hours incurred to date to total estimated hours at completion. Training revenues are included in consulting revenues in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and are recognized once the training services are provided. VSOE for consulting and training services is based upon the hourly or per class rates charged when those services are sold separately. Revenues from our hardware reseller business are also included in consulting revenues, reported net (i.e., the amount billed to a customer less the amount paid to the supplier) pursuant to EITF 99-19,Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, and recognized upon shipment of the hardware. |
|
| | Customers are reviewed for creditworthiness before we enter into a new arrangement that provides for software and/or a service element. We do not sell or ship our software, nor recognize any license revenue unless we believe that collection is probable. Payments for our software licenses are typically due in installments within twelve months from the date of delivery. Although infrequent, where software license agreements call for payment terms of twelve months or more from the date of delivery, revenue is recognized as payments become due and all other conditions for revenue recognition have been satisfied. |
|
• | | Accounts Receivable.Consistent with industry practice and to be competitive in the retail software marketplace, we typically provide installment payment terms on most software license sales. Software licenses are generally due in installments within twelve months from the date of delivery. Customers are reviewed for creditworthiness before we enter into a new arrangement that provides for software and/or a service element. We do not sell or ship our software, nor recognize any license revenue unless we believe that collection is probable in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 8 in Statement of Position 97-2,Software Revenue Recognition, as amended. For those customers who are not credit worthy, we require prepayment of the software license fee or a letter of credit before we will ship our software. We have a history of collecting software payments when they come due without providing refunds or concessions. Consulting services are generally billed bi-weekly and maintenance services are billed annually or monthly. If a customer becomes significantly delinquent or their credit deteriorates, we put the account on hold and do not recognize any further services revenue (and in most cases we withdraw support and/or our implementation staff) until the situation has been resolved. |
|
| | We do not have significant billing or collection problems. We review each past due account and provide specific reserves based upon the information we gather from various sources including our customers, subsequent cash receipts, consulting services project teams, members of each region’s management, and credit rating services such as Dun and Bradstreet. Although infrequent and unpredictable, from time to time certain of our customers have filed bankruptcy, and we have been required to refund the pre-petition |
37
| | amounts collected and settle for less than the face value of their remaining receivable pursuant to a bankruptcy court order. In these situations, as soon as it becomes probable that the net realizable value of the receivable is impaired, we provide reserves on the receivable. In addition, we monitor economic conditions in the various geographic regions in which we operate to determine if general reserves or adjustments to our credit policy in a region are appropriate for deteriorating conditions that may impact the net realizable value of our receivables. |
|
• | | Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Our business combinations typically result in goodwill and other intangible assets, which affect the amount of future period amortization expense and possible impairment expense that we will incur. The determination of the value of such intangible assets and the annual impairment tests required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,requires management to make estimates of future revenues, customer retention rates and other assumptions that affect our consolidated financial statements. |
|
| | Goodwill is tested annually for impairment by comparing the fair value of future cash flows under the “Discounted Cash Flow Method of the Income Approach” to the carrying value of goodwill allocated to our reporting units. |
|
| | Substantially all of our trademarks were acquired in connection with the acquisition of E3. Beginning January 1, 2002, we assigned indefinite useful lives to our trademarks, and ceased amortization, as we believe there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors that would limit their useful lives. In addition, we intend to indefinitely develop next generation products under our trademarks and expect them to contribute to our cash flows indefinitely. Trademarks are tested annually for impairment using the “Relief from Royalty Method of the Income Approach.” The premise of this valuation method is that the value of an asset can be measured by the present worth of the net economic benefit (cash receipts less cash outlays) to be received over the life of the asset and assumes that in lieu of ownership, a firm would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of this asset class. |
|
• | | Product Development.The costs to develop new software products and enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established. We consider technological feasibility to have occurred when all planning, designing, coding and testing have been completed according to design specifications. Once technological feasibility is established, any additional costs would be capitalized. We believe our current process for developing software is essentially completed concurrent with the establishment of technological feasibility, and accordingly, no costs have been capitalized. |
|
• | | Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets, as well as operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. We follow specific and detailed guidelines regarding the recoverability of any tax assets recorded on the balance sheet and provide any necessary allowances as required. |
|
• | | Stock-Based Compensation. We do not record compensation expense for options granted to our employees as all options granted under our stock option plans have an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. As permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation(“SFAS No. 123”), we have elected to continue to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees(“APB No. 25”) and account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic-value method, and provide pro forma disclosure on an annual basis of net income (loss) and net income (loss) per common share for employee stock option grants made, as if the fair-value method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. |
|
| | Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - - Transition and Disclosure(“SFAS No. 148), which became effective in 2003, amended SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation if a company elects to account for its equity awards under this method. SFAS No. 148 also |
38
amended the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 and APB Opinion No. 28,Interim Financial Reporting, to require disclosure of the effects of an entity’s accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income and earnings per share in both annual and interim financial statements.
The following table presents pro forma disclosures required by SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148 of net income (loss) and basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share as if stock-based compensation expense had been recognized during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. The compensation expense for these periods has been determined under the fair value method using the Black-Scholes pricing model, and assumes graded vesting. Stock-based compensation expense for 2004 has been adjusted to reflect the revised tax benefit available for incentive stock options generated at the time of exercise.

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123(R), Share Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123(R)”) which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, supersedes APB No. 25 and SFAS No. 148, and amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows (“SFAS No. 95”). Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123; however, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. SFAS No. 123(R) was initially required to be adopted in the next reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005. On April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted a rule that amends this compliance date to allow companies to implement SFAS No. 123(R) at the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005.
SFAS No. 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods:
| 3. | | A “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date. |
|
| 4. | | A “modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS No. 123 for purposes of pro-forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption. |
On March 29, 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14, “Share-Based Payment” (“SAB 107”). SAB 107, which becomes effective for public companies upon their adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), describes the SEC Staff’s views in determining the assumptions that underlie the fair value estimates and interaction of SFAS No. 123(R) with certain existing SEC guidance. We plan to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method.
As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using APB No. 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, recognizes no compensation cost for employee
39
stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of the fair value method under SFAS No. 123(R) could potentially have a significant impact on our results of operations, although it will have no impact on our overall financial position. The impact of adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had we adopted SFAS No. 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS No. 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income (loss) and earnings per share above and in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. SFAS No. 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net cash flows from operating activities in periods after adoption. While we cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the future (because this would depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options), we have recognized $80,000 and $55,000 in the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, in operating cash flows for such excess tax deductions.
On February 15, 2005, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Committee”) approved the immediate vesting of all unvested stock options previously awarded to employees, officers and directors. The accelerated options were issued under our 1995 Stock Option Plan, 1996 Stock Option Plan, 1996 Outside Director Stock Option Plan and 1998 Non-statutory Stock Option Plan. The Committee made the decision to immediately vest these options based in part on the issuance of SFAS No. 123(R). The Committee also considered the reduced level of cash bonuses paid to employees and officers in 2004, the fact that there are no equity awards planned in 2005 other than for certain new hires, and recognized that the exercise of any accelerated options would bring cash into the Company. Absent the acceleration of these options, upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we would have been required to recognize approximately $3.7 million in pre-tax compensation expense from these options over their remaining vesting terms. By vesting all previously unvested options, the stock-based compensation expense under SFAS No. 123 will only be reflected in our footnote disclosures. Further, we believe the future stock-based compensation expense to be recorded under SFAS No. 123(R) related to these options is significantly reduced and would be immaterial to our financial results. However, there can be no assurance that these actions will avoid the recognition of future compensation expense in connection with these options.
Employees, officers and directors will benefit from the accelerated vesting of their stock options in the event they terminate their employment with or service to the Company prior to the completion of the original vesting terms as they would have the ability to exercise certain options that would have otherwise been forfeited. No stock-based compensation expense will be recorded with respect to these options unless an employee, officer or director actually benefits from this modification. For those employees, officers and directors who do benefit from the accelerated vesting, we are required to record additional stock-based compensation expense equal to the intrinsic value of the option on the date of modification (i.e., February 15, 2005). The closing market price per share of our common stock on February 15, 2005 was $11.85 and the exercise prices of the approximately 1.4 million in unvested options on that date ranged from $8.50 to $28.20. Based on our historical employee turnover rates during the past three years, we currently estimate the potential additional stock-based compensation expense we may be required to record with respect to these options is approximately $45,000. We recorded approximately $31,000 of additional stock-based compensation expense during the six month period ended June 30, 2005 with respect to these options.
2005 Performance Incentive Plan.On May 16, 2005, our stockholders approved a 2005 Performance Incentive Plan (“2005 Incentive Plan”). The 2005 Incentive Plan, which is intended to replace the Company’s existing 1996 Stock Option Plan, 1996 Outside Directors Stock Option Plan and 1998 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan (collectively, our “Prior Plans”), provides for the issuance of up to 1,847,000 shares of common stock to employees, consultants and directors under stock purchase rights, stock bonuses, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, performance units and deferred compensation awards. The 2005 Incentive Plan contains certain restrictions that limit the number of shares that may be issued and cash awarded under each type of award, including a limitation that awards granted in any given year can be no more than one percent (1%) of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding as of the last day of the preceding fiscal year. Awards granted under the 2005 Incentive Plan will be in such form as the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors shall from time to time establish and may or may
40
| | | not be subject to vesting conditions based on the satisfaction of service requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance criteria. We initially intend to make awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units based upon the Company’s achievement of operating goals – primarily net income targets. Should the Company successfully meet its targets, 50% of the awards will be immediately vested in the form of restricted stock, and the remaining 50% will take the form of restricted stock units that vest over a twenty-four month period. Subsequent net income targets will be increased based upon the cost of the prior year’s restricted stock awards. With the adoption of the 2005 Incentive Plan, no further options will be granted under the Prior Plans and the Prior Plans will be terminated except for those provisions necessary to administer the outstanding options, all of which are fully vested. No awards have been issued under the 2005 Incentive Plan pending the filing of a Form S-8 Registration Statement. |
|
| • | | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. We use derivative financial instruments, primarily forward exchange contracts, to manage a majority of the foreign currency exchange exposure associated with net short-term foreign denominated assets and liabilities which exist as part of our ongoing business operations. The exposures relate primarily to the gain or loss recognized in earnings from the revaluation or settlement of current foreign denominated assets and liabilities. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The forward exchange contracts generally have maturities of less than 90 days, and are not designated as hedging instruments under SFAS No. 133. Forward exchange contracts are marked-to-market at the end of each reporting period, with gains and losses recognized in other income offset by the gains or losses resulting from the settlement of the underlying foreign denominated assets and liabilities. We recorded foreign currency exchange losses of $179,000 and $68,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We recorded a foreign currency exchange loss of $174,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2005 and a foreign currency exchange gain of $145,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2004. |
Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153,Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions(“SFAS No. 153”). SFAS No. 153, which is effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005, requires that exchanges of nonmonetary assets are to be measured based on fair value and eliminates the exception for exchanges of nonmonetary, similar productive assets, and adds an exemption for nonmonetary exchanges that do not have commercial substance. We do not participate in the exchange of nonmonetary assets.
In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154,Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No.3(“SFAS No. 154”). SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle as well as to changes required by an accounting pronouncement that does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS No. 154 requires that changes in accounting principle be restrospectively applied. Restrospectively applied is defined as the application of a different accounting principle to prior accounting periods as if that principle had always been used or as the adjustment of previously issued financial statements to reflect a change in the reporting entity. The correction of an error continues to be reported as a prior period adjustment by restating prior period financial statements as of the beginning of the first period presented. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.
Factors That May Affect Our Future Results or the Market Price of Our Stock
We operate in a dynamic and rapidly changing environment that involves numerous risks and uncertainties. The following section describes some, but not all, of these risks and uncertainties that we believe may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. This section should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as of June 30, 2005 and for the three and six months then ended contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
41
Regional And/Or Global Changes in Economic, Political And Market Conditions Could Cause Decreases in Demand For Our Software And Related Services Which Could Negatively Affect Our Revenue And Operating Results And The Market Price of Our Stock.
Our revenue and profitability depend on the overall demand for our software and related services. A regional and/or global change in the economy and financial markets could result in delay or cancellation of customer purchases. Historically, developments associated with terrorist attacks on United States’ interests, the US war and continued violence in Iraq, natural catastrophes or contagious diseases such as the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (“SARS”) have resulted in economic, political and other uncertainties, and factors such as these could further adversely affect our revenue growth and operating results. If demand for our software and related services decrease, our revenues would decrease and our operating results would be adversely affected which, in turn, may cause our stock price to fall.
Our Quarterly Operating Results May Fluctuate Significantly, Which Could Adversely Affect the Price of Our Stock.
Our quarterly operating results have varied and are expected to continue to vary in the future. If our quarterly operating results fail to meet management’s or analysts’ expectations, the price of our stock could decline. Many factors may cause these fluctuations, including:
| • | | The difficultly of predicting demand for our software products and services, including the size and timing of individual contracts and our ability to recognize revenue with respect to contracts signed in the quarter, particularly with respect to our larger customers; |
|
| • | | Changes in the length and complexity of our sales cycle; |
|
| • | | Competitive pricing pressures and competitive success or failure on significant transactions; |
|
| • | | Customer order deferrals resulting from the anticipation of new products, economic uncertainty, disappointing operating results by the customer, or otherwise; |
|
| • | | The timing of new software product and technology introductions and enhancements to our software products or those of our competitors, and market acceptance of our new software products and technology; |
|
| • | | Changes in the number, size or timing of new and renewal maintenance contracts or cancellations; |
|
| • | | Changes in our operating expenses; |
|
| • | | Changes in the mix of domestic and international revenues, or expansion or contraction of international operations; |
|
| • | | Our ability to complete fixed price consulting contracts within budget; |
|
| • | | Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; |
|
| • | | Operational issues resulting from corporate reorganizations; and |
|
| • | | Lower-than-anticipated utilization in our consulting services group as a result of reduced levels of software sales, reduced implementation times for our products, changes in the mix of demand for our software products, or other reasons. |
We made certain decisions in fourth quarter 2004 regarding our cost structure and the rate of investment in new product development for certain purchased software. These decisions caused us to reduce our projected cash flows from certain affected products and required that we record a $1.1 million impairment loss on the trademarks we acquired from E3 Corporation. There can be no assurance that any decisions we make regarding our cost structure and rate of investment in new product development will not result in additional write downs or impairment charges that will adversely affect our quarterly operating results.
Our Stock Price Has Been And May Remain Volatile.
The trading price of our common stock has in the past and may in the future be subject to wide fluctuations. In general, our stock price has declined when we achieve lower than anticipated operating results. Examples of factors that we believe have led to disappointing results include the following:
| • | | Cancelled or delayed purchasing decisions |
|
| • | | External and internal marketing issues; |
|
| • | | Announcements of reduced visibility and increased uncertainty concerning future demand for our products; |
|
| • | | Increased competition; |
42
| • | | Elongated sales cycles; |
|
| • | | A limited number of reference accounts with implementations in the early years of product release; |
|
| • | | Certain design and stability issues in early versions of our products; and |
|
| • | | Lack of desired features and functionality in our products. |
In addition, fluctuations in the price of our common stock may expose us to the risk of securities class action lawsuits. Defending against such lawsuits could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources. Furthermore, any settlement or adverse determination of these lawsuits could subject us to significant liabilities.
Our Gross Margins May Vary Significantly or Decline.
Because the gross margins on product revenues (software licenses and maintenance services) are significantly greater than the gross margins on consulting services revenue, our combined gross margin has fluctuated from quarter to quarter and it may continue to fluctuate significantly based on revenue mix. Demand for the implementation of products with longer implementation timeframes, specificallyMerchandise Operations SystemsandIn-Store Systems, has been depressed for an extended period of time. Although we have seen indications in recent quarters that demand forMerchandise Operations Systemsmay be returning, we believe that overall demand continues to be greater for products that have a higher short term ROI and lower total costs ownership with less disruption to the underlying business of our customers. As a result, most of our current implementations are for ourStrategic Merchandise Management Solutionsthat have shorter implementation timeframes. The decline in software sales ofMerchandise Operations SystemsandIn-Store Systemscontinues to have a corollary negative impact on our service revenues as consulting services revenue typically lags the performance of software revenues by as much as one year. In addition, our gross margins on consulting services revenue vary significantly with the rates at which we utilize our consulting personnel, and as a result, our overall gross margins will be adversely affected when there is not enough work to keep our consultants busy. We may face some constraints on our ability to adjust consulting service headcount and expense to meet demand, due in part to our need to retain consulting personnel with sufficient skill sets to implement and maintain our full set of products.
We May Misjudge When Software Sales Will Be Realized.
Software license revenues in any quarter depend substantially upon contracts signed and the related shipment of software in that quarter. It is therefore difficult for us to accurately predict software license revenues. Because of the timing of our sales, we typically recognize the substantial majority of our software license revenues in the last weeks or days of the quarter, and we may derive a significant portion of our quarterly software license revenues from a small number of relatively large sales. In addition, it is difficult to forecast the timing of large individual software license sales with a high degree of certainty due to the extended length of the sales cycle and the generally more complex contractual terms that may be associated with such licenses that could result in the deferral of some or all of the revenue to future periods. Accordingly, large individual sales have sometimes occurred in quarters subsequent to when we anticipated. Although our increased use of Proof of Concept and Milestone-Based licensing models may improve our ability to predict the timing of certain deals, we expect to experience continued difficulty in accurately forecasting the timing of deals. If we receive any significant cancellation or deferral of customer orders, or we are unable to conclude license negotiations by the end of a fiscal quarter, our operating results may be lower than anticipated. In addition, any weakening or uncertainty in the economy may make it more difficult for us to predict quarterly results in the future, and could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition for an indefinite period of time.
We May Not Be Able to Reduce Expense Levels If Our Revenues Decline.
Our expense levels are based on our expectations of future revenues. Since software license sales are typically accompanied by a significant amount of consulting and maintenance services, the size of our services organization must be managed to meet our anticipated software license revenues. We have also made a strategic decision to make a significant investment in new product development. As a result, we hire and train service personnel and incur research and development costs in advance of anticipated software license revenues. If software license revenues fall short of our expectations, or if we are unable to fully utilize our service personnel, our operating results are likely to decline because a significant portion of our expenses cannot be quickly reduced to respond to any unexpected revenue shortfall.
43
We Are Dependent Upon the Retail Industry.
Historically, we have derived over 75% of our revenues from the license of software products and the performance of related services to retail customers, and our future growth is critically dependent on increased sales to retail customers. The success of our customers is directly linked to economic conditions in the retail industry, which in turn are subject to intense competitive pressures and are affected by overall economic conditions. In addition, we believe that the licensing of certain of our software products involves a large capital expenditure, which is often accompanied by large-scale hardware purchases or other capital commitments. As a result, demand for our products and services could decline in the event of instability or potential downturns.
We believe the retail industry remains cautious with their level of investment in information technology during the difficult economic cycle of the last few years, and the uncertainty related to the threat of future terrorist attacks and any continued violence in Iraq. We remain concerned about weak and uncertain economic conditions, consolidations and the disappointing results of retailers in certain of our geographic regions. The retail industry will be negatively impacted if weak economic conditions or fear of additional terrorists’ attacks and wars persist for an extended period of time. Weak and uncertain economic conditions have in the past, and may in the future, negatively impact our revenues, including a potential deterioration of our maintenance revenue base as customers look to reduce their costs, elongate our selling cycles, and delay, suspend or reduce the demand for our products. As a result, it is difficult in the current economic environment to predict exactly when specific software licenses will close within a six to nine month time frame. In addition, weak and uncertain economic conditions could impair our customers’ ability to pay for our products or services. Any of these factors could adversely impact our business, quarterly or annual operating results and financial condition.
We also believe that the retail industry may be consolidating, and that the industry is currently experiencing increased competition in certain geographical regions that could negatively impact the industry and our customers’ ability to pay for our products and services. Such consolidation has in the past, and may in the future, negatively impact our revenues, reduce the demand for our products and may negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.
There May Be An Increase in Customer Bankruptcies Due to Weak Economic Conditions.
We have in the past and may in the future be impacted by customer bankruptcies that occur in periods subsequent to the software license sale. During weak economic conditions, such as those currently being experienced in certain international regions, there is an increased risk that certain of our customers will file bankruptcy. When our customers file bankruptcy, we may be required to forego collection of pre-petition amounts owed and to repay amounts remitted to us during the 90-day preference period preceding the filing. Accounts receivable balances related to pre-petition amounts may in certain of these instances be large due to extended payment terms for software license fees, and significant billings for consulting and implementation services on large projects. The bankruptcy laws, as well as the specific circumstances of each bankruptcy, may severely limit our ability to collect pre-petition amounts, and may force us to disgorge payments made during the 90-day preference period. We also face risk from international customers that file for bankruptcy protection in foreign jurisdictions, in that the application of foreign bankruptcy laws may be more difficult to predict. Although we believe that we have sufficient reserves to cover anticipated customer bankruptcies, there can be no assurance that such reserves will be adequate, and if they are not adequate, our business, operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected.
We May Have Difficulty Attracting And Retaining Skilled Personnel.
Our success is heavily dependent upon our ability to attract, hire, train, retain and motivate skilled personnel, including sales and marketing representatives, qualified software engineers involved in ongoing product development, and consulting personnel who assist in the implementation of our products and services. The market for such individuals is competitive. For example, it may be particularly difficult to attract and retain product development personnel experienced in the Microsoft .Net Platform since the .Net Platform is a new and evolving technology. Given the critical roles of our sales, product development and consulting staffs, our inability to recruit successfully or any significant loss of key personnel would hurt us. A high level of employee mobility and aggressive recruiting of skilled personnel characterize the software industry. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to retain our current personnel, attract and retain other highly qualified technical and managerial personnel in the future, or be able to assimilate the employees from any acquired businesses. We will continue to adjust the size
44
and composition of the workforce in our services organization to match the different product and geographic demand cycles. If we were unable to attract and retain the necessary technical and managerial personnel, or assimilate the employees from any acquired businesses, our business, operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected.
We Have Only Deployed Certain of Our Software Products On a Limited Basis, And Have Not Yet Deployed Some Software Products That Are Important to Our Future Growth.
Certain of our software products, includingPortfolio Point of Sale,Portfolio Workforce Management,Portfolio Registry, Trade Events Management, Portfolio Replenishment Optimization by E3, Enterprise Planning by Arthurand certain modules ofPortfolio CRMandIntellect, have been commercially released within the last two years. In addition, we have only recently announced our intentions to develop or acquire a series of business-to-business e-commerce solutions, including products in furtherance of our pursuit of the market forCollaborative Solutions. The markets for these products are new and evolving, and we believe that retailers and their suppliers may be cautious in adopting new technologies. Consequently, we cannot predict the growth rate, if any, and size of the markets for our e-commerce products or that these markets will continue to develop. Potential and existing customers may find it difficult, or be unable, to successfully implement our e-commerce products, or may not purchase our products for a variety of reasons, including their inability or unwillingness to deploy sufficient internal personnel and computing resources for a successful implementation. In addition, we must overcome significant obstacles to successfully market our newer products, including limited experience of our sales and consulting personnel. If the markets for our newer products fail to develop, develop more slowly or differently than expected or become saturated with competitors, or if our products are not accepted in the marketplace or are technically flawed, our business, operating results and financial condition will decline.
We Have Invested Heavily in Re-Writing Many of Our Products for the Microsoft .Net Platform.
We are developing a series of enhancements and the next generation ofJDA Portfolioproducts,PortfolioEnabled, based upon the .Net Platform that we believe will position us uniquely in the retail and collaborative solutions markets. We will continue to offerPortfolioEnabled applications that operate with other market accepted platforms such as Oracle and the IBM iSeries and, where appropriate, Java-based technology. Our goals are to ensure that our solutions offer: (i) increased ease of use, (ii) increased integration of business processes, (iii) reduced cost of ownership, (iv) faster implementation, and (v) faster return on investment. The initialPortfolioEnabledsolutions may not offer every capability of their predecessor products but will offer other advantages such as an advanced technology platform, the ability ofPROto install on Unix/Oracle environments utilizing Microsoft .Net application services componentry with subsequent releases to include Microsoft SQL 2005, or other significant functional advantages such as “planning by attribute” capabilities in the enterprise planning solution. Further, thePortfolioEnabledproducts do offer some significant capabilities that go beyond the current generation products they are replacing, and as a result, we believe they are in and of themselves competitive in the marketplace. On this basis, thePortfolioEnabledproducts may initially be more attractive to new customers during competitive bids, as opposed to existing customers for upgrade cycles. Sales cycles to new customers tend to be more elongated than those to existing customers who already have contracts in place with us and prior experience with our products. We will continue selling the equivalentPortfolio Synchronizedversions of these products until the newPortfolioEnabledsolutions have achieved critical mass in the marketplace.
We have begun the transition process to our newPortfolioEnabledsolutions, and as a result, we are now reducing the “double investment” in products that we have endured over the past two years.JDA Portfolioversion 2005.1, the fourth synchronized release of our products, was released in first quarter 2005 and included enhancements to virtually all of our existing products that will enable them to maintain their competitive edge. In first quarter 2005 we released the first versions of thePortfolioEnabledsolutions beginning withPortfolio Replenishment Optimization by E3andPortfolio Knowledge Base. In second quarter 2005 we releasedEnterprise Planning by Arthur, aPortfolioEnabledsolution that will ultimately replace certain of thePortfolio Planning Solutions by Arthur, includingMerchandise Planning by ArthurandAssortment Planning by Arthur. This has been a significant investment by the Company as we have been building this next generation of products while continuing to enhance ourPortfolio Synchronizedproducts, including the most current release ofJDA Portfolioversion 2005.1. We also plan to develop new products as well as shared code components using the .Net Platform.
45
The risks of our commitment to the .Net Platform include, but are not limited to, the following:
| • | | The possibility that it may be more difficult than we currently anticipate to develop our products for the .Net Platform, and we could incur costs in excess of our projections to complete the planned transition of our product suite; |
|
| • | | The difficulty our sales organization may encounter in determining whether to propose the existingJDA Portfolio synchronized products or the next generationPortfolioEnabled products based on the .Net Platform to prospective customers; |
|
| • | | The possibility that our .Net Platform beta customers will not become favorable reference sites; |
|
| • | | Adequate scalability of the .Net Platform for our largest customers; |
|
| • | | The possibility we may not complete the transition to the .Net Platform in the time frame we currently expect; |
|
| • | | The ability of our development staff to learn how to efficiently and effectively develop products using the .Net Platform; |
|
| • | | Our ability to transition our customer base onto the .Net Platform when it is available; |
|
| • | | The possibility that it may take several quarters for our consulting and support organizations to be fully trained and proficient on this new technology and as a result, we may encounter difficulties implementing and supporting new products or versions of existing products based on the .Net Platform; |
|
| • | | We may be required to supplement our consulting and support organizations with .Net proficient resources from our product development teams to support early .Net implementations which could impact our development schedule for the release of additional ..Net products; |
|
| • | | Microsoft’s ability to achieve market acceptance of the .Net platform; |
|
| • | | Delays in Microsoft’s ability to commercially release necessary components for deployment of our applications; and |
|
| • | | Microsoft’s continued commitment to enhancing and marketing the .Net platform. |
The risk associated with developing products that utilize new technologies remains high. Despite our increasing confidence in this investment and our efforts to mitigate the risks of the ..Net Platform project, there can be no assurances that our efforts to re-write many of our current products and to develop newPortfolioEnabledsolutions using the .Net Platform will be successful. If the .Net Platform project is not successful, it likely will have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Moreover, we cannot assure you that, even if we successfully re-write ourPortfolioEnabledsolutions products on the .Net Platform, that these re-written products will achieve market acceptance.
We May Introduce New Lines of Business Where We Are Less Experienced.
We may introduce new lines of business that are outside our traditional focus on software licenses and related maintenance and implementation services. Introducing new lines of business involves a number of uncertainties, including a lack of internal resources and expertise to operate and grow such new lines of business, immature internal processes and controls, inexperience predicting revenues and expenses for the new lines of business, and the possibility that such new lines of business will divert management attention and resources from our traditional business. The inability of management to effectively develop and operate these new lines of business could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Moreover, we may not be able gain acceptance of any new lines of business in our markets, penetrate new markets successfully, or obtain the anticipated or desired benefits of such new lines of business.
46
There Are Many Risks Associated with International Operations.
International revenues represented 44% of our total revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to 40% and 44% of total revenues in the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. If our international operations grow, we would need to recruit and hire a number of new consulting, sales and marketing and support personnel in the countries in which we have or will establish offices. Entry into new international markets typically requires the establishment of new marketing and distribution channels as well as the development and subsequent support of localized versions of our software. International introductions of our products often require a significant investment in advance of anticipated future revenues. In addition, the opening of a new office typically results in initial recruiting and training expenses and reduced labor efficiencies associated with the introduction of products to a new market. If we are less successful in a new market than we expect, we may not be able to realize an adequate return on our initial investment and our operating results could suffer. If we have to downsize certain international operations, the costs to do so are typically much higher than downsizing costs in the United States, particularly in Europe. We cannot guarantee that the countries in which we operate will have a sufficient pool of qualified personnel from which to hire, that we will be successful at hiring, training or retaining such personnel or that we can expand or contract our international operations in a timely, cost effective manner.
Our international business operations are subject to risks associated with international activities, including:
| • | | Currency fluctuations; |
|
| • | | Higher operating costs due to local laws or regulations; |
|
| • | | Unexpected changes in employment and other regulatory requirements; |
|
| • | | Tariffs and other trade barriers; |
|
| • | | Costs and risks of localizing products for foreign countries; |
|
| • | | Longer accounts receivable payment cycles in certain countries; |
|
| • | | Potentially negative tax consequences; |
|
| • | | Difficulties in staffing and managing geographically disparate operations; |
|
| • | | Greater difficulty in safeguarding intellectual property, licensing and other trade restrictions; |
|
| • | | Ability to negotiate and have enforced favorable contract provisions; |
|
| • | | Repatriation of earnings; |
|
| • | | The burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws; |
|
| • | | Anti-American sentiment due to the war with Iraq, and other American policies that may be unpopular in certain regions; |
|
| • | | The effects of regional and global infectious diseases such as SARS; |
|
| • | | The challenges of finding qualified management for our international operations; and |
|
| • | | General economic conditions in international markets. |
Consulting services in support of certain international software licenses typically have lower gross margins than those achieved domestically due to generally lower billing rates and/or higher costs in certain of our international markets. Accordingly, any significant growth in our international operations may result in declines in gross margins on consulting services. We expect that an increasing portion of our international software license, consulting services and maintenance services revenues will be denominated in foreign currencies, subjecting us to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. If we expand our international operations, exposures to gains and losses on foreign currency transactions may increase. We use derivative financial instruments, primarily forward exchange contracts, to manage a majority of the foreign currency exchange exposure associated with net short-term foreign denominated assets and liabilities which exist as part of our ongoing business operations. We cannot guarantee that any currency exchange strategy would be successful in avoiding exchange-related losses. In addition, revenues earned in various countries where we do business may be subject to taxation by more than one jurisdiction, which would reduce our earnings.
We May Face Difficulties in Our Highly Competitive Markets.
We encounter competitive products from a different set of vendors in each of our primary product categories. We believe that while our markets are still subject to intense competition, the number of significant competitors in many of our application markets has diminished over the past five years. We believe the principal
47
competitive factors in our markets are feature and functionality, product reputation and quality of reference accounts, vendor viability, retail and demand chain industry expertise, total solution cost, technology platform and quality of customer support.
OurRetail Enterprise Systemscompete primarily with internally developed systems and other third-party developers such as AC Nielsen Corporation, Aldata Solutions, Connect3 Systems, Inc., Evant, Inc., Island Pacific, Inc., Manugistics Group, Inc., MicroStrategy Incorporated, NSB Retail Systems PLC, Oracle Corporation (acquired Retek, Inc. on April 12, 2005), SAP AG and SAS/Marketmax. In addition, new competitors may enter our markets and offer merchandise management systems that target the retail industry.
The competition for ourIn-Store Systemsis more fragmented than the competition for ourRetail Enterprise Systems. We compete primarily with smaller point-of-sale focused companies such as CRS Business Computers, Kronos Incorporated, MICRO Systems, Inc., Radiant Systems, Inc., Retalix, Ltd., 360Commerce, Tomax Technologies, Triversity, Inc., Workbrain, Inc., and Workplace Systems International. We also compete with other broad solution set providers such as NSB Retail Systems PLC, Oracle Corporation (acquired Retek, Inc. on April 12, 2005), and SAP AG (Campbell Software Division).
Our currentCollaborative Solutionscompete primarily with products from AC Nielsen Corporation, Evant Inc., i2 Technologies, Information Resources, Inc., Manugistics Group, Inc. and SAS/Marketmax.
In the market for consulting services, we have pursued a strategy of forming informal working relationships with leading retail systems integrators such as IBM Global Services, Capgemini, Kurt Salmon Associates and Lakewest Consulting. These integrators, as well as independent consulting firms such as Accenture, CFT Consulting, SPL and ID Applications, also represent competition to our consulting services group. Moreover, because many of these consulting firms are involved in advising our prospective customers in the software selection process, they may successfully encourage a prospective customer to select software from a software company with whom they have a relationship. Examples of such relationships between consulting firms and software companies include the relationship between Oracle Corporation (acquired Retek, Inc. on April 12, 2005) and Accenture.
As we continue to develop or acquire e-commerce products and expand our business in theCollaborative Solutionsarea, we expect to face potential competition from business-to-business e-commerce application providers, including Ariba, Commercialware, Demantra, Inc., Ecometry Corporation, i2 Technologies, Manugistics Group, Inc., Microsoft, Inc., Oracle Corporation (acquired Retek, Inc. on April 12, 2005) and SAP AG.
A few of our existing competitors, such as Oracle and SAP AG, as well as a number of potential new competitors, have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do, which could provide them with a significant competitive advantage over us. For example, we have recently encountered competitive situations with SAP AG where, in order to expedite their entrance into our markets and to encourage customers to purchase licenses of its non-retail applications, SAP AG has offered to license at no charge certain of its retail software applications that compete with theJDA Portfolioproducts.In addition, we could face competition from large, multi-industry technology companies that have historically not offered an enterprise solution set to the retail supply chain market. The enterprise software market is also consolidating and this may result in larger, new competitors with greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we possess. Such a consolidation could negatively impact our business. This consolidation trend is evidenced by Oracle Corporation’s acquisition of Retek, Inc. on April 12, 2005, and of ProfitLogic, Inc. on July 18, 2005. Prior to its acquisition of Retek, Inc., Oracle Corporation did not compete with our retail specific products. We do not believe Oracle Corporation’s acquisition of Retek, Inc. will have any significant impact on our near-term strategy; however, it is difficult to estimate what effect this acquisition will ultimately have on our competitive environment. Because competitors such as Oracle Corporation and SAP AG have significantly greater resources than we possess, they may make it more difficult for us to grow through acquisition by outbidding us for potential acquisitions. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to compete successfully for customers or acquisition targets against our current or future competitors, or that competition will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
48
It May Be Difficult to Identify, Adopt and Develop Product Architecture that is Compatible with Emerging Industry Standards.
The markets for our software products are characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, changes in customer requirements and frequent new product introductions and enhancements. We continuously evaluate new technologies and implement into our products advanced technology such as our current .Net Platform effort. However, if we fail in our product development efforts to accurately address in a timely manner, evolving industry standards, new technology advancements or important third-party interfaces or product architectures, sales of our products and services will suffer.
Our software products can be licensed with a variety of popular industry standard platforms, and are authored in various development environments using different programming languages and underlying databases and architectures. There may be future or existing platforms that achieve popularity in the marketplace that may not be compatible with our software product design. Developing and maintaining consistent software product performance across various technology platforms could place a significant strain on our resources and software product release schedules, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
We May Have Difficulty Implementing Our Products.
Our software products are complex and perform or directly affect mission-critical functions across many different functional and geographic areas of the enterprise. Consequently, implementation of our software products can be a lengthy process, and commitment of resources by our clients is subject to a number of significant risks over which we have little or no control. Although average implementation times have recently declined, we believe the implementation of the UNIX/Oracle versions of our products can be longer and more complicated than our other applications as they typically (i) appeal to larger retailers who have multiple divisions requiring multiple implementation projects, (ii) require the execution of implementation procedures in multiple layers of software, (iii) offer a retailer more deployment options and other configuration choices, and (iv) may involve third party integrators to change business processes concurrent with the implementation of the software. Delays in the implementations of any of our software products, whether by our business partners or us, may result in client dissatisfaction, disputes with our customers, or damage to our reputation.
There is also a risk that it may take several quarters for our consulting and support organizations to be fully trained and proficient on the new .Net technology platform and as a result, we may encounter difficulties implementing and supporting new products or versions of existing products based on the .Net Platform. In addition, we may be required to supplement our consulting and support organizations with .Net proficient resources from our product development teams to support early .Net implementations which could impact our development schedule for the release of additional .Net products. Significant problems implementing our software therefore, can cause delays or prevent us from collecting license fees for our software and can damage our ability to get new business. As a result of our aggressive management of the utilization of our consulting and support personnel, including recent headcount reductions undertaken in fourth quarter 2004 and first quarter 2005, we face the risk of constraints in our services offerings in the event of greater than anticipated licensing activity or more complex implementation projects.
We May Not Achieve the Desired Results From Our ePathways Implementation Methodology.
We have invested in the development of anePathwaysmethodology with the objective of optimizing the delivery of services related to shorter implementation cycle projects typically associated with ourPortfolio Space Management,Portfolio PlanningandPortfolio Replenishment applications, and improving our utilization rates. A key facet of this methodology involves the delivery of services through the Internet using industry standard technology. There can be no assurance that theePathwaysmethodology can be successfully implemented within our service organization, that customers will readily accept this method of delivery of our services, or that our utilization rates will improve. If we are unsuccessful implementing theePathwaysmethodology or the timeframe for its full roll-out is extended, and our utilization rates do not improve, our business, operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected.
49
Our Fixed-Price Service Contracts May Result In Losses.
We offer a combination of software products, consulting and maintenance services to our customers. Historically, we have entered into service agreements with our customers that provide for consulting services on a “time and expenses” basis. We believe our competitors may be offering customers fixed-price service contracts in order to differentiate their product and service offerings. As a result, we are increasingly required during negotiations with customers to enter into fixed-price service contracts which link services payments, and occasionally software payments, to implementation milestones. Fixed bid consulting services work represented 17% of total consulting services revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to 16% in 2004 and 15% in 2003. If we are unable to meet our contractual obligations under fixed-price contracts within our estimated cost structure, our operating results could suffer.
Our Success Depends Upon Our Proprietary Technology.
Our success and competitive position is dependent in part upon our ability to develop and maintain the proprietary aspect of our technology. The reverse engineering, unauthorized copying, or other misappropriation of our technology could enable third parties to benefit from our technology without paying for it.
We rely on a combination of trademark, trade secret, copyright law and contractual restrictions to protect the proprietary aspects of our technology. We seek to protect the source code to our software, documentation and other written materials under trade secret and copyright laws. To date, we have not protected our technology with issued patents, although we do have several patent applications pending. Effective copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in certain foreign countries. We license our software products under signed license agreements that impose restrictions on the licensee’s ability to utilize the software and do not permit the re-sale, sublicense or other transfer of the source code. Finally, we seek to avoid disclosure of our intellectual property by requiring employees and independent consultants to execute confidentiality agreements with us and by restricting access to our source code.
There has been a substantial amount of litigation in the software and Internet industries regarding intellectual property rights. It is possible that in the future third parties may claim that our current or potential future software solutions or we infringe on their intellectual property. We expect that software product developers and providers of e-commerce products will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products and competitors in our industry segment grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlap. Moreover, as software patents become more common, the likelihood increases that a patent holder will bring an infringement action against us, or against our customers, to whom we have indemnification obligations. In addition, we may find it necessary to initiate claims or litigation against third parties for infringement of our proprietary rights or to protect our trade secrets. Since we resell hardware, we may also become subject to claims from third parties that the hardware, or the combination of hardware and software, infringe their intellectual property. Although we may disclaim certain intellectual property representations to our customers, these disclaimers may not be sufficient to fully protect us against such claims. We may be more vulnerable to patent claims since we do not have any issued patents that we can assert defensively against a patent infringement claim. Any claims, with or without merit, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or license agreements. Royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
If We Lose Access to Critical Third-Party Software or Technology, Our Costs Could Increase And The Introduction of New Products And Product Enhancements Could be Delayed, Potentially Hurting Our Competitive Position.
We license and integrate technology from third parties in certain of our software products. For example, we license the Uniface client/server application development technology from Compuware, Inc. for use inPortfolio Merchandise Management, certain applications from Silvon Software, Inc. for use inPerformance Analysis by IDEAS, IBM’s Net.commerce merchant server software for use inCustomer Order Management, and the Syncsort application for use in certain of thePortfolio Planning by Arthurproducts. Our third party licenses generally require us to pay royalties and fulfill confidentiality obligations. If we are unable to continue to license any of this third party software, or if the third party licensors do not adequately maintain or update their products, we
50
would face delays in the releases of our software until equivalent technology can be identified, licensed or developed, and integrated into our software products. These delays, if they occur, could harm our business, operating results and financial condition. It is also possible that intellectual property acquired from third parties through acquisitions, mergers, licenses or otherwise may not have been adequately protected, or infringes another parties intellectual property rights.
We May Face Liability If Our Products Are Defective Or If We Make Errors Implementing Our Products.
Our software products are highly complex and sophisticated. As a result, they may occasionally contain design defects or software errors that could be difficult to detect and correct. In addition, implementation of our products may involve customer-specific configuration by third parties or us, and may involve integration with systems developed by third parties. In particular, it is common for complex software programs, such as our UNIX/Oracle and e-commerce software products, to contain undetected errors when first released. They are discovered only after the product has been implemented and used over time with different computer systems and in a variety of applications and environments. Despite extensive testing, we have in the past discovered certain defects or errors in our products or custom configurations only after our software products have been used by many clients. For example, we will likely experience undetected errors in our .Net applications as we begin to implement them for the first time at customer sites. In addition, our clients may occasionally experience difficulties integrating our products with other hardware or software in their environment that are unrelated to defects in our products. Such defects, errors or difficulties may cause future delays in product introductions and shipments, result in increased costs and diversion of development resources, require design modifications or impair customer satisfaction with our products.
We believe that significant investments in research and development are required to remain competitive, and that speed to market is critical to our success. Our future performance will depend in large part on our ability to enhance our existing products through internal development and strategic partnering, internally develop new products which leverage both our existing customers and sales force, and strategically acquire complementary retail point and collaborative solutions that add functionality for specific business processes to an enterprise-wide system. If clients experience significant problems with implementation of our products or are otherwise dissatisfied with their functionality or performance or if they fail to achieve market acceptance for any reason, our market reputation could suffer, and we could be subject to claims for significant damages. Although our customer agreements contain limitation of liability clauses and exclude consequential damages, there can be no assurances that such contract provisions will be enforced. Any such damages claim could impair our market reputation and could have a material adverse affect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
We Are Dependent on Key Personnel.
Our performance depends in large part on the continued performance of our executive officers and other key employees, particularly the performance and services of James D. Armstrong our Chairman and Hamish N. J. Brewer our Chief Executive Officer. We do not have in place “key person” life insurance policies on any of our employees. The loss of the services of Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Brewer, or other key executive officers or employees without a successor in place, or any difficulties associated with our succession, could negatively affect our financial performance.
We May Have Difficulty Integrating Acquisitions.
We continually evaluate potential acquisitions of complementary businesses, products and technologies, including those that are significant in size and scope. In pursuit of our strategy to acquire complementary products, we have completed nine acquisitions over the past seven years including the Arthur Retail Business Unit in June 1998, Intactix International, Inc. in April 2000, E3 Corporation in September 2001, and substantially all the assets of Timera Texas, Inc. in January 2004. The E3 acquisition was our largest to date, and involved the integration of E3’s products and operations in 12 countries. The risks we commonly encounter in acquisitions include:
| • | | We may have difficulty assimilating the operations and personnel of the acquired company; |
|
| • | | The challenge to integrate new products and technologies into our sales and marketing process, particularly in the case of smaller acquisitions; |
51
| • | | We may have difficulty effectively integrating the acquired technologies or products with our current products and technologies; |
|
| • | | Our ongoing business may be disrupted by transition and integration issues; |
|
| • | | We may not be able to retain key technical and managerial personnel from the acquired business; |
|
| • | | We may be unable to achieve the financial and strategic goals for the acquired and combined businesses; |
|
| • | | We may have difficulty in maintaining controls, procedures and policies during the transition and integration; |
|
| • | | Our relationships with partner companies or third-party providers of technology or products could be adversely affected; |
|
| • | | Our relationships with employees and customers could be impaired; |
|
| • | | Our due diligence process may fail to identify significant issues with product quality, product architecture, legal contingencies, and product development, among other things; |
|
| • | | We may be subject to as a successor, certain liabilities of our acquisition targets; and |
|
| • | | We may be required to sustain significant exit or impairment charges if products acquired in business combinations are unsuccessful. |
Anti-takeover Provisions in Our Organizational Documents and Stockholders’ Rights Plan and Delaware Law Could Prevent or Delay a Change in Control.
Our certificate of incorporation, which authorizes the issuance of “blank check preferred” stock, our stockholders’ rights plan which permits our stockholders to counter takeover attempts, and Delaware state corporate laws which restrict business combinations between a corporation and 15% or more owners of outstanding voting stock of the corporation for a three-year period, individually or in combination, may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that a JDA stockholder may consider favorable.
Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks result primarily from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In addition, our international operations are subject to risks related to differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, and other regulations and restrictions.
Foreign currency exchange rates. Our international operations expose us to foreign currency exchange rate changes that could impact translations of foreign denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars and future earnings and cash flows from transactions denominated in different currencies. International revenues represented 44% of our total revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to 40% and 44% of total revenues in the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 respectively. In addition, the identifiable net assets of our foreign operations totaled 21% of consolidated net assets at June 30, 2005, as compared to 19% at December 31, 2004. Our exposure to currency exchange rate changes is diversified due to the number of different countries in which we conduct business. We operate outside the United States primarily through wholly owned subsidiaries in Europe, Asia/Pacific, Canada and Latin America. We have determined that the functional currency of each of our foreign subsidiaries is the local currency and as such, foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Changes in the currency exchange rates of our foreign subsidiaries resulted in an unrealized foreign currency exchange loss of $1.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 and an unrealized foreign currency exchange gain of $801,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2004.
Foreign currency gains and losses will continue to result from fluctuations in the value of the currencies in which we conduct operations as compared to the U.S. Dollar, and future operating results will be affected to some
52
extent by gains and losses from foreign currency exposure. We prepared sensitivity analyses of our exposures from foreign net working capital as of June 30, 2005 to assess the impact of hypothetical changes in foreign currency rates. Based upon the results of these analyses, a 10% adverse change in all foreign currency rates from the June 30, 2005 rates would result in a currency translation loss of $2.0 million before tax. We use derivative financial instruments to manage this risk.
We use derivative financial instruments, primarily forward exchange contracts, to manage a majority of the foreign currency exchange exposure associated with net short-term foreign denominated assets and liabilities which exist as part of our ongoing business operations. The exposures relate primarily to the gain or loss recognized in earnings from the revaluation or settlement of current foreign denominated assets and liabilities. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The forward exchange contracts generally have maturities of less than 90 days, and are not designated as hedging instruments under SFAS No. 133. Forward exchange contracts are marked-to-market at the end of each reporting period, with gains and losses recognized in other income offset by the gains or losses resulting from the settlement of the underlying foreign denominated assets and liabilities.
At June 30, 2005, we had forward exchange contracts with a notional value of $3.1 million and an associated net forward contract receivable of $36,000. At December 31, 2004, we had forward exchange contracts with a notional value of $5.8 million and an associated net forward contract liability of $219,000. The notional value represents the amount of foreign currencies to be purchased or sold at maturity and does not represent our exposure on these contracts. We prepared sensitivity analyses of the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on our forward exchange contracts at June 30, 2005. Based on the results of these analyses, a 10% increase in all foreign currency rates from the June 30, 2005 rates would result in a net forward contract liability of $250,000 that would offset the underlying currency translation loss on our net foreign assets. We recorded a foreign currency exchange loss of $174,000 in the six months ended June 30 2005 and a foreign currency exchange gain of $145,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2004.
Interest rates. We invest our cash in a variety of financial instruments, including bank time deposits and variable and fixed rate obligations of the U.S. Government and its agencies, states, municipalities, commercial paper and corporate bonds. These investments are denominated in U.S. dollars. We classify all of our investments as available-for-sale in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” Cash balances in foreign currencies overseas are operating balances and are invested in short-term deposits of the local operating bank. Interest income earned on our investments is reflected in our financial statements under the caption “Other income, net.” Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates, or we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities that have suffered a decline in market value due to a change in interest rates. We hold our investment securities for purposes other than trading. The fair value of securities held at June 30, 2005 was $36.1 million, which is approximately the same as amortized cost, with interest rates generally ranging between 1% and 4%.
Item 4: Controls and Procedures
During and subsequent to the reporting period, and under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that were in effect at the end of the period covered by this report. Based on their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures that were in effect on June 30, 2005 were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports to be filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. During second quarter 2005, we implemented a new financial management system which impacted substantially all of our financial processes. We believe the new system will significantly enhance the efficiency of our consolidation process and the preparation of the financial statements produced for management and external reporting. The new financial management system and the internal controls over financial reporting included
53
in the application were tested prior to implementation and were determined to be operating effectively. Other than the implementation of the new financial management system and the additional internal controls over the computation of the quarterly income tax provision which are discussed below, there have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting, or to our knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to June 30, 2005.
While we have not identified any material weakness or condition in our disclosure controls and procedures that would cause us to consider them ineffective for their intended purpose, we nevertheless have identified certain deficiencies in our manual accounting procedures related to the computation of our quarterly income tax provision (benefit) and analysis of deferred tax assets. These deficiencies have resulted in the Company recording various adjustments to its tax accounts related to revisions of certain tax estimates in prior years. These deficiencies did not have a material impact on the quality or accuracy of our financial statements. To correct these deficiencies, we have implemented additional internal controls over the computation of the quarterly income tax provision and our analysis of deferred tax assets which include (i) an external review by an independent tax advisor prior to the filing of our quarterly reports, (ii) a formal fixed asset review to ensure additions and disposals have been properly accounted for in a timely manner for tax purposes (iii) the purchase of an income tax provision software package to reduce the amount of manual calculations and the potential for human error and (iv) the hiring of an additional tax accountant.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Although there can be no assurance, management does not currently believe that the disposition of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
