ITEM 1. | BUSINESS |
Document Sciences Corporation develops and markets Dynamic Content Publishing (DCP) software products that automate business-to-customer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) personalized customer communications. Dynamic content publishing has become increasingly important as more companies benefit from providing their customers highly-personalized documents that improve communications through the precise assembly and layout of regulated content, personal financial data and in-context one-to-one marketing information. Additional drivers for DCP adoption include the trend towards Straight Through Processing (STP), Self-Service applications, as well as ongoing technology consolidation and eBusiness adoption. Our DCP software products enable the automated generation and distribution of personalized customer communications by processing enterprise data and content assets through customizable business rules to produce high quality and highly-personalized documents that are ready to print in high-volume or on-demand, and/or to email, deliver via mobile, or fulfill in real-time over the web using XML, HTML or Adobe Systems’ (Adobe) Portable Document Format (PDF®).
Using modern enterprise-class architecture standards, our latest generationxPression™ product suite enables scalable dynamic content publishing solutions across numerous industries, including insurance, financial services, managed healthcare, manufacturing, distribution, government and commercial outsourcing. Our entire product portfolio, including our previous generationAutograph™product family, is licensed to more than 500 customers worldwide who collectively produce over an estimated one billion personalized documents per month, operating on computing environments ranging from modern highly-scalable J2EE application server platforms such as BEA WebLogic and IBM WebSphere, distributed client/server PC/UNIX configurations, to traditional enterprise mainframe systems.
Company Formation
We were incorporated in Delaware in October 1991 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Xerox Corporation (Xerox). Following our initial public offering of stock in September 1996, Xerox ownership was reduced to approximately 62%. As a result of our tender offer and our exercise of an option to purchase additional shares from Xerox, in April 2001, Xerox’s ownership interest was reduced to 19.9%, and then on November 18, 2003, we purchased Xerox’s remaining shares in a private transaction. In 2004, we acquired Objectiva Software Solutions (Objectiva), a China-based development outsourcing company that provided us with incremental cost-effective software development capabilities as well as incremental offshore Document Factory services capacity. In early 2007, we acquired the assets of CambridgeDocs, a software company with key technology assets for XML content conversion and publishing.
Available Information
This annual report, and each of our other periodic and current reports, including any amendments thereto, are available, free of charge, on our website at www.docscience.com, as soon as reasonably practical after such material is electronically filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference in this report and should not be considered part of this report. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission website, www.sec.gov, contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information about us.
Products
Our latest generationxPression product suite addresses a major functional area within the large and growing Enterprise Content Management (ECM) arena: Dynamic Content Publishing (DCP). During 2006, we released upgraded versions of ourxPression Enterprise Edition (EE) including our new higher-performance xPublish composition engine, and this has resulted in incrementalxPression installation growth to nearly 100 customers worldwide, now representing the majority of new license revenues. During 2006, we maintained the certification

Table of Contents
of ourxPression product suite through EMC Software’s Designed for EMC (DFE) program to enable pre-integrated deployment within EMC Software’s Documentum install base, as well as developed new integration with IBM Filenet P8. In 2007 we plan on incremental integration with EMC Software, IBM Filenet and other ECM platforms.
In 2006 we expanded ourxPression product suite and releasedxPression Workgroup Edition (WE) which includes expanded xPRS Server output processing functionality as well as upgraded versions of ourxPresso for InDesign product, providing best-of-breed DCP application design using Adobe Creative Suite—the world’s leading desktop publishing product.xPresso provides a very user-friendly DCP application design environment using industry standard WYSIWYG tools such as Adobe InDesign.xPresso for InDesign is targeted at facilitating the development of high-value relationship statements and marketing automation applications. In addition, we also introducedxPresso for Dreamweaver, a companion product that enables the dynamic generation of richly personalized email and web content, through (Adobe) Macromedia Dreamweaver. In 2007, we plan on introducing additionalxPresso design products targeted at other growth applications in the markets we serve.
We offer the right to use our products through annual licenses and perpetual licenses. We also offer post contract support and license renewal, when applicable, and training in the use of our products.
In addition, all of our software products can be complemented by our professional services organization, including offshore services provided by our China-based Document Factory, thereby enabling the delivery of cost-effective and fully-integrated functional solutions to our worldwide customer base.
Ongoing Autograph to xPression Migration
From its introduction in late 2002 through 2006, we have installed our latest generationxPression product suite in nearly 100 major accounts worldwide—both new accounts including competitive installations, as well as previous generationAutograph accounts. These installations validate our ability to migrateAutograph, as well as competitive accounts, toxPression using a scalable and reliable services delivery model. We also market packaged offerings consisting of additional software and services for further facilitating the migration of our existingAutograph customers, as well as from select competitive products, to ourxPressionEnterprise or Workgroup Editions. During 2007, we plan to continue actively marketing these packaged offerings to generate additional migrations from competitive orAutograph installations.
Dynamic Content Publishing
OurxPression product suite provides DCP capabilities using an open J2EE architecture. As such, ourxPression products are developed in Java, adhering to J2EE open standards for compatibility with application server platforms such as BEA WebLogic, IBM WebSphere, Red Hat JBoss as well as Apache Tomcat. ThexPression product suite is based on XML open standards for data and content interchange, and on the Unicode text encoding standard for worldwide language support. Because of its very open architecture and its adherence to industry standards, ourxPression product suite can be tightly integrated with other enterprise applications to extend the capabilities of existing ECM platforms, customer relationship management (CRM) systems, Line-of-Business (LOB) applications, self-service web portals and other enterprise technology assets. These characteristics are most attractive to customers seeking inter-operability between their enterprise applications through adherence to open standards, which is a growing technology acquisition trend.
xPRS Server and Client products. ThexPression product suite is comprised of the xPRS Server and several web-integrated client applications. The xPRS Server manages the robust document assembly and publishing process required in complex, regulated text-intensive and graphical documents such as marketing collateral, proposals, contracts, policies, statements and customer correspondence. The xPRS Server also supports several client applications that provide user interfaces for systems management (xAdmin), operational management

Table of Contents
(xDashboard), personalized document design (xDesign andxPresso), interactive real-time document generation (xResponse) and collaborative document generation, revision and approval (xRevise). Customers can configure theirxPression product suite installations with any number of xPRS servers and any number of client applications as required by the application type(s) and its performance and deployment requirements.
xAdmin and xDashboard manage all aspects of thexPression product suite configuration including access security, customer data sources and mapping, ECM content integration, document production, multi-channel output processing and distribution. xAdmin and xDashboard are designed for use by system administrators familiar with the overall operating environment. Conversely, xDesign andxPresso are designed for non-technical business users responsible for the creation and management of personalized document applications. This is accomplished using a hierarchy of content items that is created and managed using open authoring and design environments such as Adobe InDesign and Dreamweaver, the industry-standard design tools for highly-graphical documents such as marketing collateral and high-value statements, including email and web pages, as well as Microsoft Corporation’s (Microsoft) Word®, the industry-standard authoring and design tool for regulated documents such as proposals, contracts and correspondence. The support of open tools such as Microsoft Word and Adobe InDesign enables our customers to redeploy the development and maintenance of applications from their generally higher-cost IT department to the line-of-businesses responsible for the application.
xDesign manages and tracks the personalized document applications and their content items using a secure multi-user environment that supports powerful user-definable attributes (e.g. language, jurisdiction, affectivity, etc), multi-level revisioning, multi-level approval workflows and advanced content searching. xDesign enables the definition of simple or complex content assembly and business rules that control content selection and personalization based on unique customer data. The process is similar for our companionxPresso design products, but with a greater emphasis on the incorporation of rich graphical elements. Once a personalized document application has been created, validated, and approved, the xPRS Server manages the subsequent document assembly and publishing processes. These can execute in a high volume production mode, or as real-time, on-demand transactions. By leveraging the benefits of application servers, xPRS Server is highly-scalable and supports multi-threaded clustered configurations, providing high-volume as well as high-concurrency performance.
xResponse is a web browser based out-of-the-box client application that enables the on-demand generation of customer correspondence and other documents created using xDesign. xResponse features an integrated Java editor that can be used to make additional manual or exception changes to automatically pre-assembled documents. xResponse also supports web-based change tracking, approval and workflow processes to ensure continuous document integrity and compliance. The xResponse user interface is factorable and can be integrated with a CRM or other correspondence management or call center system of choice. xRevise provides more sophisticated capabilities for managing complex contract applications that require re-issuance control and a high-level of collaboration. xRevise enables the creation and management of multiple versions of a document from a common document template. Each version can vary significantly from the base template, and each version can also be personalized for individual groups of recipients. xRevise is ideal for complex master-sub contract applications.
Finally, the xPression product suite also provides extensible capabilities in the increasingly important areas of enterprise application integration (EAI) using xPRS Framework APIs as well as industry standard Web Services. Because of its open architecture and its adherence to XML standards, thexPression product suite can be tightly integrated with a wide variety of line-of-business applications such as financial administration systems, business workflow systems, as well as popular ECM platforms. To further our capabilities in the connectivity area, we also support vertical XML dialects such as the ACORD standard which has been widely adopted in the insurance-industry. Furthermore, we enhance our technical connectivity by developing strong partnerships with other open system providers in target markets. In 2007 we plan on introducing additional enterprise connectivity capabilities as additional end-user applications that can be widely deployed within an enterprise.

Composition Engine.ThexPression product suite supports our new Java-based xPublish composition engine operating at scalable speeds of well over 100 pages per second per CPU—thereby providing highly-scalable processing in even the most demanding production environment. The design of the new composition engine incorporates the majority of features available in our previous generation CompuSet composition engine, including the automatic generation of multi-dimensional dynamic data driven graphics, and the support of full color text and images. It also provides significant extensions in the areas of multi-frame page layout, multi-language support including support for double-byte Asian languages and scalable multi-threaded performance. In 2007 we plan on continuing to enhance our new xPublish composition engine, including the support of incremental Output Processing functionality as well as incremental features that take full advantage of our newxPresso application design products. Optionally, thexPression product suite also supports the use of our previous generation CompuSet composition engine, thus enabling and facilitating the migration of existingAutograph applications to ourxPression product suite.
The composition process is further optimized for high-volume or on-demand print, email and/or web media for multi-channel distribution. ThexPression product suite supports XML and web standard HTML generation as well as a number of popular Page Description Languages (PDLs) for subsequent printing, electronic distribution and/or archive storage for future retrieval and viewing. These PDLs provide device-specific instructions for rendering text, forms, images and graphics into printable streams or into electronic documents. Output Processing capabilities include inline output stream manipulation for splitting, merging, re-sequencing, sorting, bundling and bar coding. These features are necessary for postal optimization, for the support of finishing equipment without further post-processing and for multi-channel applications that require both print and electronic (email) distribution. The PDL formats currently supported are Xerox Metacode, International Business Machines Corporation’s (IBM) AFPDS®, Hewlett-Packard Company’s PCL® and Adobe’s PostScript®, including Xerox VIPP and VPS extensions for high-volume full-color production on Xerox DocuColor and iGen product lines, and well as Adobe PDF.
In late January 2007, we completed the acquisition of CambridgeDocs, a leading provider of document transformation and repurposing technology. The acquisition of their technology represents a natural extension to Document Sciences’ customer communications management platform and adds several new components to thexPression product suite. The acquired technology will allowxPression to import and repurpose content from a plethora of widely popular formats, including Word, HTML, PDF, Excel, RTF, and Adobe FrameMaker, enabling customers to leverage the tens of thousands of documents existing throughout an enterprise without having to manually recreate the content. Document transformation and repurposing, which provides for the conversion of content in popular formats into an XML format that is readily transformable and reusable, has become increasingly important due to the proliferation of document formats. Once transformed, the content can be made available for delivery through Document SciencesxPression product suite, as well as independently through XML-based Web Services. The transformed content can also be easily classified and indexed within enterprise information portals, and aggregated, assembled and (re)published in multiple formats, including HTML, PDF, Postscript, IBM AFP, PCL and RTF, on virtually any operating system.
Professional Services
In addition to our software products, we provide a comprehensive suite of professional services that can assist customers in the implementation of mission-critical dynamic content publishing applications. Professional services include on-site software installation, consulting services, customer training programs and telephone support programs. Our consulting services are currently focused on assisting in the sale of higher margin initial software licenses by providing project management, requirements analysis, system architecture, application design and development services. The capacity of our domestic professional services has been extended through the use of our cost effective China-based Document Factory team. Our consulting services can also be provided in conjunction with our system integration partners.

Table of Contents
In addition to consulting services, we provide introductory and advanced-level education classes for ourxPression andAutograph products at our headquarters in San Diego, our offices in Milwaukee and at customer sites. We believe that the use of our professional services enables customers to deploy our dynamic content publishing products more rapidly and more cost-effectively. In 2006 we expanded our team of Technical Directors responsible for account management and associated services revenue and significantly grew our professional services delivery. In 2007 we anticipate further growth as we continue to scale our services delivery capacity inline with demand.
Development Outsourcing Services
In addition to our software products and professional services, we also provide cost effective development outsourcing services through our subsidiary’s, Objectiva Software Solutions Inc. (Objectiva), software engineering team primarily based in Beijing, China. These software engineering services include project management, design and architecture, prototyping, coding, testing and productizing. Our Objectiva software engineering team has achieved CMM Level 3 certification, a recognized global standard for quality service delivery, as well as other vendor specific recognitions such as Microsoft MVP certified engineers. In 2006, we significantly grew our development outsourcing services and in early 2007, we expanded our offshore capacity with incremental facilities in Xian, China, and we anticipate continued investment and growth in our Objectiva software engineering outsourcing services.
Marketing and Sales
Our marketing and sales organization targets markets that require dynamic content publishing for high volume, high quality document personalization. We currently license our products worldwide using a combination of direct sales and alternative channels. In North America, we market our products primarily through a direct sales force that manages our existing base of corporate accounts, as well as targets new accounts in select market segments. Our sales account executives are provided with pre-sales technical support through qualified solution analysts. Account executives and solution analysts are located throughout North America to provide optimal coverage. In 2006 we significantly augmented our North American direct sales model including the addition of several co-selling System Integrator (SI) channels and in 2007 we plan on further growing our North American direct sales model as well as co-selling SI channels in order to augment coverage in additional target markets.
Outside of North America, we distribute our software products primarily through Value Added Reseller (VAR) channels. We market our products throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) by defining EMEA specific market and product requirements, providing VAR channel management as well as providing sales and technical support. In 2006, we made further investments in our EMEA organization headquartered in London, England. We likewise support VAR channels in Australia, South America and Asia. In 2007 we plan on further growing our EMEA operations, as well as establishing facilities in Australia to focus on Asia Pacific operations.
We are also continuing to increase our development relationships and joint marketing and sales with other major companies. Current relationships include formal and informal marketing and sales alliances with EMC Software, IBM Inc., Microsoft Corporation and Xerox Corporation. These relationships provide qualified sales leads for our products and significantly extend our sales coverage and networking capabilities. In addition, we also support partner relationships with complementary technology companies as well as several insurance administration system vendors such as CSC, Fiserv, Harlosh, Solcorp and Worldgroup. We participate in joint marketing events with our key partners whenever appropriate and feasible. Furthermore, we actively market our products and solutions at industry focused trade shows, through focused regional seminars and through a variety of web marketing mechanisms, including webinars.

Research and Development
We continue to enhance our product offerings, engaging key customers and prospects to identify requirements and to prioritize specific product features. We also engage industry and technology analysts, and key partners to understand existing market trends, new target markets, and overall technology directions. In 2006 we formed a Customer Advisory Council focused at providing incremental direction for ourxPression product suite. Our 2007 development roadmap addresses key requirements for tighter integration into the emerging ECM Enterprise Reference Architecture (ERA), incrementalxPresso application design products targeted at new applications, and incremental xPublish capabilities to take full advantage of the breadth of our application design environments.
In general, our product development strategy is based on delivering dynamic content publishing solutions for specific types of document applications in one or more vertical markets or industries, or in identifying more horizontal applications that can be sold across many market segments. A product manager is responsible for managing the team responsible for delivering each focused offering based on requirements gathered by focused business directors. We use a structured business planning and product delivery process to guide our product development and delivery activities throughout the year. We also employ rapid prototyping to validate new product concepts, and agile development methodologies to be responsive in a rapidly-evolving technology environment.
The acquisition of Objectiva in 2004 has significantly increased our software development and innovation capacity, including our ability to respond more rapidly to unanticipated requirements driven by new technologies, new partnerships, or new business opportunities. The majority of our development is focused on ourxPression product suite, including the development of our Dynamic Content Publishing Infrastructure (DCPI) which includes our new xPublish composition engine, as well as our existing and newxPresso application design products.
We continue to maintain and enhance ourAutographproduct line for operation on traditional platforms such as mainframe environments. These well-established products, including DLS and VC Pro, are maintained by teams that respond to customer requests for defect corrections and feature enhancements. These products are proven and feature rich, and we do not anticipate the need to significantly enhance them during 2007.
We expect to continue enhancing our existing product portfolio and to develop new products, particularly as they relate to multi-channel applications, including electronic distribution and web portals. Our development expenditures continue to be a major focus of our resources. Such expenditures, not including amounts capitalized, were $5.9 million, $5.4 million and $5.8 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
We can make no assurance that we will be successful in developing, introducing and marketing new products on a timely and cost-effective basis, if at all, or that such new products will achieve market acceptance. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Our growth depends on market acceptance of our existing products, enhancements to existing products and our introduction of new products.”
Competition
The market for dynamic content publishing products is intensely competitive, subject to rapid change and significantly affected by new product introductions and other market activities of industry participants. Our software products are targeted at document intensive organizations that require the ability to produce large quantities of personalized documents in paper or electronic form. We face direct and indirect competition from a broad range of competitors who offer a variety of products and solutions to our current and potential customers. Our principal competition currently comes from systems developed in-house by the internal MIS departments of large organizations where there is a reluctance to commit the time and effort necessary to convert their existing document publishing processes to our dynamic content publishing software. We also face competition from system integrators (SI) who can custom build dynamic content publishing solutions using XML or other technology.
7
Table of Contents
We also face competition from DocuCorp International, Inc. in the insurance industry; Metavante in banking and financial services; Pitney Bowes Group 1 Software, Inc.; Exstream Software, Inc. and numerous other smaller competitors. Several of our competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources, greater name recognition in global or regional markets and a larger installed base of customers than we do. We believe that the principal competitive factors affecting our market include product performance and functionality, ease of use, scalability, operating across multiple computer and operating system platforms, product and company reputation, key partnerships, client service and support and price.
It is also possible that we will face competition from new competitors. These include large independent software companies offering personal computer-based application software solutions, such as Microsoft and Adobe, and from large corporations providing database and content management software solutions, such as IBM, Oracle Corporation and EMC Software. In addition, Xerox, HP, Ricoh or other print-technology vendors, either directly or through affiliated entities, could become large competitors. Moreover, as the market for dynamic content publishing software develops, a number of these or other companies with significantly greater resources than ours could attempt to enter or increase their presence in the dynamic content publishing market by either acquiring or forming strategic alliances with our competitors or by increasing their focus on the industry. In addition, current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase the ability of their products to address the needs of our current and prospective customers. It is possible that new competitors or alliances among competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Patents, Licenses and Proprietary Rights
Our success is dependent, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary technology. We rely primarily on a combination of copyright and trademark laws, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights. We seek to protect our software, documentation and other written materials under trade secret and copyright laws. However, these afford only limited protection. We presently have no patents or patent applications pending. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Our business is dependent upon successfully protecting our proprietary rights.”
In addition, we also rely on certain software that we license from third parties, including software that is integrated with internally developed software and used in our products to perform key functions. There can be no assurances that such firms will remain in business, that they will continue to support their products or that their products will otherwise continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms. The loss or inability to maintain any of these software licenses could result in delays or reductions in product shipments until equivalent software can be developed, licensed and integrated, which would adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
Customers
We derived 10%, 13% and 18% of our revenues through Xerox and its affiliates in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. As a result, discontinuation of agreements and other business transactions that may adversely impact our relationship with Xerox could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Employees
As of December 31, 2006, we had 392 employees comprised of 182 in professional services and customer support, 57 in sales and marketing, 116 in research and development and 37 in finance and administration. None of our employees are represented by labor unions. We have experienced no work stoppages and believe our
8
Table of Contents
relationship with our employees is good. Competition for qualified personnel in the industry in which we compete is intense. We believe that our future success will depend in part on our continued ability to attract, hire and retain qualified personnel.
Financial Information about Segments and Geographic Areas
The information regarding revenues and operating profit by reportable segments and revenues from unaffiliated customers by geographic region is set forth at the end of this annual report on Form 10-K under Note 3. “Geographic Information” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
The following is a discussion of certain factors that currently impact or may impact our business, operating results and/or financial condition. Anyone making an investment decision with respect to our common stock or other securities is cautioned to carefully consider these factors. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, results of future operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose part or all of your investment.
Our quarterly results fluctuate significantly and we may not be able to grow our business.
Our total revenues and operating results are difficult to forecast and can vary, sometimes substantially, from quarter to quarter, and we expect them to vary significantly in the future. Our future quarterly operating results are affected by many factors, including the following:
• | the demand for our products and services; |
• | the level of product and price competition; |
• | the length of our sales cycle; |
• | the size, elements and timing of individual software arrangements; |
• | the renewal rates for our annual software licenses; |
• | the delay or deferral of customer implementations; |
• | the budget cycles of our customers; |
• | our success in expanding our direct sales force or indirect distribution channels; |
• | the acceptance and timing of our new product introductions and enhancements, as well as those of our competitors; |
• | our mix of products and services; |
• | our level of international sales; |
• | our ability to successfully implement our operational, growth and other strategies; |
• | the timing and amount of software capitalization and amortization; |
• | the activities of and acquisitions by our competitors; |
• | our timing of new hires; |
• | changes in foreign currency exchange rates; and |
• | our ability to develop and market new products and to control costs. |

Table of Contents
Our license fee revenues depend on when orders are received from and shipped to customers. However, because of our revenue recognition policies, our customers’ implementation schedule and the complexity of the implementation process, revenue from some software shipments may not be recognized in the same quarter as the shipment occurs. Our operating expenses are primarily based on anticipated revenue levels. Since a high percentage of those expenses are relatively fixed, a delay in the recognition of revenue from license transactions could cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter, and we may sustain losses as a result. To the extent such expenses precede, and/or are not subsequently followed by, increased revenues, our operating results could be materially adversely affected.
As a result of these factors, results from operations for any quarter are subject to significant variation, and we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations may not necessarily be meaningful. Accordingly, you should not rely upon them as an indication of our future performance. Furthermore, our operating results in future quarters may fall below the expectations of market analysts and investors. If this occurs, the price of our common stock could be materially adversely affected.
Our growth depends on market acceptance of our existing products, enhancements to existing products and introduction of new products.
Our future business, operating results and financial condition depend upon market acceptance of our existing products, as well as our ability to respond to emerging industry standards and practices and to develop new products that address the future needs of our target markets. OurAutographfamily of products has been applied mainly to document automation applications producing paper-based documents. We have started to extend our core technology to the Internet, intranets and commercial on-line services. However, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in developing, introducing and marketing new products or product enhancements, including new products or the extension of existing products for the Internet, intranets and commercial on-line services, on a timely and cost effective basis, if at all. In addition, we cannot assure you that our newer products, such as xPressoandxPression, or enhancements to existing products will adequately meet the requirements of the marketplace or achieve market acceptance. Moreover, delays in our commercial shipments of new products or enhancements may result in client dissatisfaction and a delay or loss of product revenues. In addition, in order to provide our customers with integrated product solutions, our future success will also depend in part upon our ability to maintain and enhance relationships with our technology partners.
If for technological or other reasons we are unable to develop and introduce new products or enhancements of existing products in a timely manner in response to changing market conditions or client requirements, then our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In addition, we cannot assure you that our existing products, new products or new versions of our existing products will achieve market acceptance.
Longer than expected sales cycles and implementation periods have and may continue to affect our revenues and operating results.
The licensing of our software products is often an enterprise-wide decision by prospective customers and generally involves a sales cycle of three months to more than one year in order to educate these prospective customers regarding the use and benefits of our products, often requiring us to expend considerable financial and personnel resources without any assurance that revenue will be realized. In addition, the implementation of our products by customers involves a significant commitment of their resources over an extended period of time and is commonly associated with substantial customer business process reengineering efforts. Sales of our enterprise-widexPression product line often involve many participants in the corporate decision-making process. Additionally, we have experienced and may, from time to time, continue to experience defects in our software which cause implementation problems and affect our revenues and our sales cycle. For these and other reasons, our sales cycles and customer implementation periods are subject to a number of significant delays over which we may have little or no control. Any delay in the sale or customer implementation of a limited number of license transactions could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations and cause our operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

We currently derive a significant portion of our revenues through Xerox.
We currently have a variety of contractual and informal relationships with Xerox and affiliates of Xerox, including a cooperative marketing agreement, a transfer and license agreement and various distribution agreements. We rely on these relationships and agreements for a significant portion of our total revenues. Revenues derived from relationships with Xerox and affiliates of Xerox accounted for approximately $3.4 million, $3.8 million and $4.1 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, representing approximately 10%, 13% and 18% of our total revenues, respectively.
In November 2003, we paid $2.7 million to Xerox to repurchase the remaining 740,024 shares of Document Sciences’ common stock owned by Xerox. Since Xerox no longer has an equity interest in us, there may be less incentive in continuing to do business with us at the same level. Though we intend to continue our existing relationships with Xerox, our strategy has been, and continues to be, to lessen our dependence on Xerox. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so and, because of our current level of dependence on Xerox, there can be no assurance that our plans to become more independent will not adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our failure to maintain these relationships with Xerox or to establish new relationships in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
There can be no assurance that existing and potential customers will continue to do business with us because of these relationships or our historical ties with Xerox and its affiliates. Xerox has strategic alliances and other business relationships with other companies who supply software and services used in high volume electronic publishing applications and who now are, or in the future may become, our competitors. There can be no assurance that Xerox or one of its affiliated companies will not engage in a business that directly competes with us. In addition, Xerox has ongoing internal development activities that could in the future lead to products that compete with us. Xerox could in the future expand these relationships or enter into additional ones, and as a result our business could be materially adversely affected.
Our growth depends on our ability to compete successfully against current and future competitors.
The market for dynamic content publishing products is intensely competitive. We face competition from a broad range of competitors, many of whom have greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. Our principal competition currently comes from systems developed in-house by the internal IS departments of large organizations and direct competition from numerous software vendors, including Docucorp International, Inc., InSystems Technologies, Inc., Group 1 Software, Inc., Exstream Software, Inc. and Metavante Corporation. We believe that the principal competitive factors affecting our market include product performance and functionality, ease of use, scalability, operating across multiple computer and operating system platforms, product and company reputation, client service and support and price. Although we believe that we currently compete favorably with respect to such factors, we can not assure you that we will be able to maintain our competitive position against current and future competitors, especially those with greater financial, technical and marketing resources than us, or that we will be successful in the face of increasing competition from new products or new solutions introduced by existing competitors or by new competitors entering the market.
Our operating results are substantially dependent on sales of a small number of products in highly concentrated industries.
We derived a substantial percentage of our license revenue from two product lines in 2006 and 2005. As a result, factors that may adversely impact the pricing of or demand for these products, such as competition from other products, negative publicity or obsolescence of the hardware or software environments in which our products run, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Our financial performance will depend significantly on the successful development, introduction and customer acceptance of new and enhanced versions of ourxPression software andxPresso software, as well as continued customer acceptance of CompuSet, DLS and related products.

Revenues from end users in the insurance industry accounted for 46% of total revenues in 2006. Our future success will depend on our ability to continue to successfully market our products in the insurance industry, as well as the finance and print services industries, and introduce their use in new industries. Our failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Inaccurate sales forecasts and/or revenue projections could cause improper planning and budgeting of our resources.
Our revenues, and particularly our new software license revenues, are difficult to forecast, and as a result our quarterly operating results can fluctuate substantially. We use a “pipeline” system, a common industry practice, to forecast sales and trends in our business. In particular, our sales personnel monitor the status of all proposals and estimate when a customer will make a purchase decision and the dollar amount of the sale. These estimates are aggregated periodically to generate a sales pipeline. Our pipeline estimates can prove to be unreliable both in a particular quarter and over a longer period of time, in part because the “conversion rate” of the pipeline into contracts can be very difficult to estimate. A variation in the conversion rate, or in the pipeline itself, could cause us to plan or budget incorrectly and adversely affect our business or results of operations. While this sales estimation process provides us with some guidance in business planning, it is based on estimates only and is therefore subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. Because a substantial portion of our new software license revenue contracts are completed in the latter part of a quarter, and our cost structure is largely fixed in the short term, revenue shortfalls tend to have a disproportionately negative impact on our profitability. A delay in even a small number of large new software license transactions could cause our quarterly new software licenses revenues to fall significantly short of our predictions.
Our growth is dependent upon successfully focusing our distribution channels.
To grow our business, we must improve the performance of our worldwide sales and distribution channels by focusing on key target industry market segments where our current and planned products can enjoy a significant competitive advantage and high market demand. We also must leverage our existing relationships with Xerox and other partners by launching targeted joint marketing and value added reseller programs and by introducing new product offerings that are optimized for selected target markets and marketing channels. Additionally, we must form additional partnerships with system integrators and consultants in order to broaden our capacity to deliver complete dynamic content publishing solutions that incorporate significant services content, while also maintaining our core domain expertise. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully streamline and focus our worldwide channels, leverage our existing relationships or form new alliances. If we fail to do so, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Our products may suffer from defects or errors.
Software products, as complex as those we offer, may contain undetected defects or errors when first introduced or as new versions are released. As a result, depending on the severity of the defect or error, we could in the future forego or delay recognition of revenues as a result of these errors or defects. In addition, our products are typically intended for use in applications that may be critical to a customer’s business. As a result, we expect that our customers and potential customers have a greater aversion and sensitivity to product defects than the general market for software products. We experienced defects in connection with the introduction of ourxPression product line in 2004, and believe that we have addressed this problem, but we cannot assure you that, despite our testing, as well as testing by current and potential customers, additional errors will not be found in our existing products or new products or releases. Defects discovered after the commencement of commercial shipments, can result in loss of revenue, delay in market acceptance, diversion of our development resources, damage to our reputation and/or increased service and warranty costs.

Maintaining our professional services expertise is necessary for our future growth.
We are continuing our focus on the consulting services component of our professional services to assist customers in the planning and implementation of enterprise-wide, mission-critical dynamic content publishing applications. This strategy is dependent on hiring and retaining qualified professional staff to perform these consulting services. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected if we are unsuccessful in developing and retaining our professional services workforce.
We are exposed to risks associated with international operations.
Our revenues from export sales accounted for 14%, 17% and 25% of our total revenues in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
We license our products in Europe through value-added resellers (VARs) and to a much lesser extent, direct sales. Revenues generated by these activities were $3.1 million, $3.2 million and $3.5 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
In Australia, Canada and Latin America, our products are distributed and/or supported by Xerox affiliates and also by direct sales in Canada. In China, our products are distributed and/or supported by our subsidiary, Objectiva. Revenues generated in these regions were $1.5 million, $1.8 million and $2.3 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
In order to successfully expand export sales, we must increase our international presence in select countries, hire additional personnel and develop relationships with additional international resellers. If we are unable to do so in a timely manner, our growth in international export sales could be limited, and our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain or increase international market demand for our products.
Our international business activities could also be adversely impacted by losing the services of key VARs, difficulties in managing our international operations, our limited experience in localizing products for foreign countries resulting in a lack of acceptance of these localized products, longer payment cycles for accounts receivable, currency fluctuations, unexpected adverse changes in regulatory requirements and tariffs, imposition of additional trade barriers and restrictions, potentially adverse tax consequences including restrictions on the repatriation of earnings, and the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws.
Our Objectiva software engineering and professional services team of 222 employees is located in a 21,800 square foot facility in Beijing, China. We are subject to a variety of risks associated with conducting operations in China, including those related to general economic conditions, regulatory changes, political unrest and potential reduced protection for our intellectual property rights. In addition to facing the difficulty of managing a large offshore organization, we must comply with a variety of laws and regulations, including trade restrictions, local labor ordinances, changes in tariff rates and import and export licensing requirements. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to anticipate these risks and manage these difficulties.
A portion of our business is conducted in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, primarily the Euro and the Chinese Yuan. Although exchange rate fluctuations have not had a significant impact on us, fluctuations in the value of the currencies in which we conduct our business relative to the U.S. Dollar could cause currency transaction gains and losses in future periods. We do not currently engage in currency hedging transactions, and we cannot assure you that fluctuations in currency exchange rates in the future will not have a material adverse impact on our international revenues and our business, operating results and financial condition.
Our business is dependent on the market for dynamic content publishing software.
The market for dynamic content publishing software is intensely competitive, highly fragmented and subject to rapid change. We cannot assure you that the market for dynamic content publishing software will continue to grow or that, if it does grow, organizations will adopt our products. Although we have spent, and intend to
13
Table of Contents
continue to spend, significant resources developing open-architecture software products and educating potential customers about the benefits of our products, we cannot assure you that such expenditures will enable our products to achieve further market acceptance. Additionally, if the dynamic content publishing software market develops more slowly than we currently anticipate, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Furthermore, the market for dynamic content publishing of electronic documents designed for use with the Internet, intranets and commercial on-line services has only recently begun to develop, and the success of our products designed for this market will depend in part on their compatibility with these elements. Since the increased commercial use of the Internet, intranets and commercial on-line services is difficult to predict and could require substantial modification and customization of certain of our products and services, as well as the introduction of new products and services, we cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively or successfully compete in this market.
Our ability to manage future change could affect our business.
Our ability to compete effectively and to manage future change will require us to continue to improve our financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures on a timely basis and to expand, train and manage our work force. We cannot assure you that we will be able to do so successfully. Our failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Our executive officers and certain key personnel are critical to our business, and these officers and key personnel may not remain with us in the future.
Our future performance depends in significant part upon the continued service of our key technical, sales and senior management personnel. The loss of the services of one or more of our executive officers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Our future success also depends on our continuing ability to attract and retain highly qualified product development, sales and management personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain our key employees or that we will be able to attract or retain other highly qualified product development, sales and managerial personnel in the future.
Our business is dependent upon successfully protecting our proprietary rights.
We rely on a combination of copyright and trademark laws, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights. Despite these protective measures, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy portions of our products or use information we consider proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of our products is difficult and, while we are unable to determine the extent to which piracy of our software products exists, we expect software piracy to be a persistent problem. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States. We cannot assure you that our means of protecting our proprietary rights will be adequate or that our competitors will not independently develop similar technology.
We are not aware of any infringement of our products upon the proprietary rights of third parties. However, we cannot assure you that third parties will not claim infringement by us with respect to current or future products. We expect that software product developers will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products and competitors in our industry segment grows, companies hire employees from competitors, and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps. Any such 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 licensing agreements. Such 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 upon our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our failure to adequately limit our exposure to product liability claims may adversely affect us.
Our license agreements with our customers typically contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential product liability claims. However, it is possible that the limitation of liability provisions contained in our license agreements may not be effective under the laws of certain jurisdictions. Although we have not experienced any product liability claims to date, sale and support of our products may entail the risk of such claims in the future. A successful product liability claim brought against us or a claim arising as a result of our professional services could have a material adverse effect upon our business, operating results and financial condition.
Integration of potential business or technology acquisitions may be difficult.
If we acquire complementary businesses, products or technologies instead of developing them ourselves, we may be unable to successfully integrate an acquired business, product or technology in a cost-effective and non-disruptive manner. Integrating any business, product or technology that we acquire could be expensive and time-consuming, disrupt our ongoing business and distract company management. In addition, in order to finance any acquisition, we might need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financings. In that event, we could be forced to obtain financing on less than favorable terms which, in the case of equity financing, may result in dilution to our stockholders. If we are unable to integrate any acquired entities, products or technologies effectively, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In addition, under certain circumstances, amortization of assets or charges resulting from the costs of acquisitions could have a negative impact on our reported operating results and financial condition.
Enacted and proposed changes in securities laws and regulations are likely to increase our costs.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and the NASD have imposed various new requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel will need to continue to devote a substantial amount of time to comply with these requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations have increased our annual legal and financial compliance costs, have made some activities more time-consuming and costly, and could expose us to additional liability. In addition, these rules and regulations may make retention and recruitment of qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or executive management team more difficult.
If any of these events occur, it could have a material adverse effect upon our business, operating results and financial condition.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
Not applicable.
We lease approximately 20,300 square feet of office space for our principal administrative, sales, marketing, training and research and development facility in Carlsbad, California. This lease expires on June 15, 2011. Our regional office in Milwaukee, Wisconsin occupies approximately 3,400 square feet of office space pursuant to a lease expiring on October 31, 2008.

The decrease in the balance sheet items from 2002 to 2003 was primarily due to our November 2003 purchase of 740,024 shares of our outstanding common stock for $2.7 million and a decrease in accounts receivable of $1.9 million. The increase in total assets and stockholders’ equity from 2003 to 2004 was primarily due to the issuance of 629,793 shares of our common stock in conjunction with our July 2004 purchase of Objectiva.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Except for the historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ substantially from those described below, including those risks described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” and elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K. Our discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operation of Document Sciences and its subsidiaries should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in Item 8 in this annual report on Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, software development costs, allowance for doubtful accounts and valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets. We base our estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results may differ from our estimates. We believe that the following critical accounting policies and assumptions may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity than others.

Revenue Recognition.We derive our revenues principally from the licensing of software, post contract support fees (PCS) and professional services. We recognize revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2,Software Revenue Recognition. Although some software is licensed on a perpetual basis, the majority of our licenses are currently time-based licenses that are required to be renewed annually. Revenues are recognized when a contract exists, the fee is fixed and determinable, software delivery has occurred and collection of the receivable is deemed probable. Amounts billed or payments received in advance of revenue recognition are recorded as deferred revenue.
If an arrangement includes multiple elements, we allocate the contract amount to the various elements based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value, regardless of any separate prices stated within the contracts for each element. We base our VSOE on the price charged when the same element is sold separately. If an undelivered element of the arrangement exists, revenue is deferred based on VSOE of the fair value of the undelivered element. If VSOE of fair value does not exist for all undelivered elements, all revenue is deferred until sufficient evidence exists or all elements have been delivered. We use the residual method to recognize revenue when an arrangement includes one or more elements to be delivered at a future date and VSOE of the fair value of all undelivered elements exists.
We recognize fees for annual licensing arrangements ratably over the contract term of twelve months because we are unable to establish VSOE for the license and support elements under this type of bundled arrangement.
For perpetual license arrangements, VSOE of fair value for ongoing maintenance and support obligations (PCS) is determined based upon the historical, stand-alone renewal rates or pricing. We recognize revenue relating to the perpetual software license arrangements at inception of the arrangement using the residual method as discussed above.
Our contracts do not provide for specific upgrades. In addition, our standard contracts do not provide for rights of return or conditions of acceptance; however, in cases where acceptance criteria are provided, revenue is deferred and not recognized until all conditions are satisfied and written customer acceptance is obtained.
Professional services revenue includes consulting services and training related to our software products. Revenues generated from consulting services and training are recognized as the related services are performed and collectibility is deemed probable, based on VSOE of fair value of the services. VSOE of fair value for professional services is determined based upon the price charged when these services are sold separately. For professional services that are bundled with annual software licenses and are not deemed to be essential to the functionality of the delivered software product, we recognize the entire arrangement fee ratably over the longer of the period over which the professional services are expected to be rendered, or the PCS period, beginning with delivery of the software and commencement of the professional services. In the vast majority of cases, the arrangement fee is recognized ratably over the twelve month PCS period. In certain limited situations where we determine that professional services period is the longer period, upon the end of the PCS term, we recognize license and PCS revenues at that stage (on the residual basis), recognizing the remaining deferred revenue for the unfinished services over the remaining period of such services.
If consulting services are deemed to be essential to the functionality of the delivered software product, revenue from the entire arrangement is recognized on a percentage of completion method or not until the contract is completed in accordance with SOP 81-1,Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts, and Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 45,Long-Term Construction-Type Contracts. We measure progress under the percentage of completion method, depending on how the contract language is written, either by using the percentage of total project hours completed or by the completion of phases in the consulting project. Because the phases of our consulting projects are generally not of great duration (2-6 weeks on average), we believe that there are very limited circumstances where materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.

We work in conjunction with our established VARs, with whom we have formal contracts defining the rights and obligations of the parties, to license software to end-users. We license software to our VARs, less a discount, from a fixed price list. We require a binding purchase order as evidence of an unconditional order by an end user from our VARs, with no rights of return or acceptance. License revenue from our VARs is recognized when software is licensed to an end user.
Software Development Costs. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86,Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed, costs incurred in the research and development of new software products and significant enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility of the product has been established. After technological feasibility has been established, direct production costs, including programming and testing, are capitalized until general release of the product.
Capitalized costs of software to be sold, licensed or otherwise marketed are amortized using the greater of the amount computed using the ratio of current period product revenues to estimated total product revenues or the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic lives of the products. It is possible that estimated total product revenues, the estimated economic life of the product, or both, will be reduced in the future. As a result, the carrying amount of capitalized software costs may be reduced in the future, which could cause our operating results in future periods to be adversely affected.
Impairment of Goodwill.The value of our goodwill could be impacted by future adverse changes such as declines in our operating results or failure to meet the performance projections included in our forecasts of future operating results. We evaluate these assets on an annual basis or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. In the process of our annual impairment review, we primarily use a discounted cash flow method to determine the fair value of our assets. Significant management judgment is required in the forecasts of future operating results that are used in the discounted cash flow method of valuation. The estimates we have used are consistent with the plans and estimates that we use to manage our business. It is possible, however, that the plans and estimates used may be incorrect. If our actual results, or the plans and estimates used in future impairment analyses, are lower than the original estimates used to assess the recoverability of these assets, we could incur impairment charges.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required, which would result in an additional general and administrative expense in the period such determination is made. At the end of each reporting period, we perform a detailed review of outstanding balances by customer and invoice. We utilize statistical and account specific analysis to determine the adequacy of our reserve, as well as comparing balances to historical losses. If our assumptions or analysis are incorrect, our operating results for future periods may be adversely affected.
Deferred Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. At December 31, 2006, we had net deferred tax assets of $5.1 million. Due to the uncertainty of realizing these net deferred tax assets, we have recorded a valuation allowance of $5.1 million. Such uncertainty primarily relates to the potential for future taxable income as well as loss carryforwards and tax credits expiring in 2018 and 2012, respectively. In addition, pursuant to Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, annual use of our net operating loss carryforwards may be limited in the event of a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% within a three-year period. We will continue to assess the likelihood of realization of such assets; however, if future events occur which do not make the realization of such assets more likely than not, we will continue to record a valuation allowance against all or a portion of the remaining net deferred tax assets. Examples of future events that might occur which would make the realization of such assets not likely is a lack of taxable income resulting from poor operating results during 2007.

Year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005
The 12% increase in license fee revenue in 2006 over 2005 was primarily due to higher initial sales of ourxPressionEnterprise Suite and increased PCS revenues from our increasing base of licensed software users.
Services and other revenues increased 14% over 2005 amounts. A majority of growth was from the delivery of implementation and follow on services to customers who have licensed ourxPression software. Additionally, our results benefited from consulting services delivered by our Objectiva subsidiary.
The 5% decrease in license fees cost of revenue in 2006 was primarily due to a $600,000 decrease in amortization of software development costs from 2005, due to older products being fully amortized in 2005, somewhat offset by increased royalty costs, and increases in personnel costs of approximately $225,000 over 2005, to support our increasing customer base and product set.
Services and other cost of revenues in 2006 increased by 27% over 2005 due to an increase of approximately $2.0 million in personnel related costs and management, added primarily late in the fourth quarter of 2005. This staffing was required to sustain existing projects and to staff anticipated new projects. Increased facility costs both in the United States and at our facility in China also contributed to the increase.
The increase in research and development costs in 2006 was primarily due to an increase in payroll related costs of our software engineers and consulting fees related to the enhancement ofxPression. We did not capitalize any software development costs in 2006 because the establishment of technological feasibility coincided with the general releases of our products.
The 25% increase in 2006 selling and marketing expenses over 2005 was primarily due to an increase in salary related expenses and commissions of approximately $1.7 million caused by the increase in staffing in this area from 39 employees at the end of 2005 to 57 employees at the end of 2006. The remainder of the increase was primarily composed of increases in travel and entertainment, trade show and advertising expenses, somewhat offset by a decrease in allocated facilities expenses.
The 15% increase in 2006 general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increases in personnel costs and expenses associated with being a public company. When 2005 expenses are adjusted for a VAT refund credit of $391,000, 2006 general and administrative expenses increased over comparable amounts by 4%.
Interest and other income, net totaled $237,000 and $205,000 in 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in 2006 was the result of higher interest income due to higher 2006 monthly cash balances.
The provision for income taxes in 2006 and 2005, was $325,000 and $39,000 respectively. $50,000 of the 2006 amount and the entire 2005 amount were due to foreign taxes. In 2006, we recorded an additional $275,000 of tax expense due to an increase in the valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets recorded in prior years. We will continue to assess the likelihood of realization of our net deferred tax assets. If future events occur that do not make the realization of such assets more likely than not, a valuation allowance will be established against all or a portion of the net deferred tax assets.
Year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the year ended December 31, 2004
The 8% increase in license fee revenue in 2005 over 2004 was primarily due to higher initial sales of ourxPressionEnterprise Suite and increased PCS revenues from our increasing base of licensed software users, somewhat offset by reduced sales in our olderAutograph suite.
Services and other revenues increased 114% over 2004 amounts. A majority of growth was from the delivery of implementation services to customers who have licensed ourxPression software. Additionally, our results benefited from consulting services delivered by our Objectiva subsidiary.
23
Table of Contents
The 28% increase in license fees cost of revenue in 2005 was primarily due to a $420,000 increase in amortization of software development costs over 2004, due to the release ofxPression 2.0 in the fourth quarter of 2004, and increases in 2005 personnel costs of $263,000 over 2004, as additional staff was required to support our customer base and product set.
Services and other cost of revenues in 2005 increased by 130% over 2004 due to an increase in personnel related costs and management required to sustain existing projects and to staff anticipated new projects. Increased recruiting costs, computer and computer-related costs, facility costs related to our new headquarters facility, and outside consulting costs incurred to meet project deadlines while we staffed up our professional services group also contributed to the percentage growth in services costs in excess of the percentage growth in services revenues.
The decrease in gross research and development costs in 2005 was primarily due to a decrease in outside consultant costs of approximately $1,026,000 offset by an increase in employee-related costs of $697,000, largely driven by the impact of our acquisition of Objectiva. Capitalized software development costs mainly include payroll related costs of our software engineers and consulting fees related to the development ofxPression. We did not capitalize any software development costs in 2005 because the establishment of technological feasibility coincided with the general releases of our products.
The slight decrease in 2005 selling and marketing expenses from 2004 was primarily due to decreases in employee related costs and outside consultant costs partially offset by an increase in sales commissions.
The 10% increase in 2005 general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increases in personnel costs of $435,000, telephone and office costs of $131,000 and outside consultant costs of $78,000, partially offset by a French VAT refund of $391,000.
Interest and other income, net totaled $204,900 and $17,400 in 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in 2005 was largely the result of a gain on the sale of stock, as well as higher interest income due to higher cash balances.
The $39,000 and $24,700 provisions for income taxes in 2005 and 2004, respectively, were due to foreign taxes. We will continue to assess the likelihood of realization of our net deferred tax assets. If future events occur that do not make the realization of such assets more likely than not, a valuation allowance will be established against all or a portion of the net deferred tax assets.
Trends and Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results
Our total revenues and operating results can vary, sometimes substantially, from quarter to quarter and are expected to vary significantly in the future. Our revenues and operating results are difficult to forecast. Future results will depend upon many factors, including the demand for our products and services, the level of product and price competition, the length of our sales cycle, the size, elements and timing of individual software arrangements, the delay or deferral of customer implementations, the budget cycles of our customers, our success in expanding our direct sales force and indirect distribution channels, the timing of new product introductions and product enhancements by us and our competitors, the mix of products and services sold, levels of international sales, activities of and acquisitions by competitors, the timing of new hires, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, our ability to develop and market new products, the renewal rates for our annual software licenses, controlling costs and general domestic and international economic conditions. In addition, our sales generally reflect a relatively high amount of revenue per order, and, therefore, the loss or delay of individual orders could have a significant impact on our revenues and quarterly operating results. In addition, a significant amount of our revenues occur predominantly in the third month of each fiscal quarter and tend to be concentrated in the latter half of that third month.
24
Table of Contents
Our license fee revenues depend on when orders are received from and shipped to customers; however, because of our revenue recognition policies, our customers’ implementation schedules and the complexity of the implementation process, revenue from some software shipments may not be recognized in the same quarter as the shipment occurs. The timing of receipt of these license fees is also difficult to predict because of the length of our sales cycle. ForAutograph products, our sales cycle is typically three to nine months from initial contact. ForxPression products, our sales cycle is typically nine months to over one year from initial contact. Because our operating expenses are based on anticipated revenue trends and because a high percentage of our expenses are relatively fixed, a delay in the recognition of revenue from a limited number of initial license transactions could cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter and could result in losses. To the extent such expenses precede, or are not subsequently followed by, increased revenues, our operating results could be materially adversely affected.
Due to the foregoing factors, revenues and operating results for any quarter are subject to significant variation, and we believe that period-to-period comparisons are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indications of future performance.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our sources of cash are derived primarily from operations and sales and maturities of short-term investments. We currently do not have any debt from borrowed money. Our short-term investments are invested in U.S. government agency obligations and high quality commercial paper.
We believe that our existing cash balances and anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures at least through the next twelve months. In this regard, a portion of our cash could be used to acquire or invest in complementary businesses or products or to obtain the right to use complementary technologies. We have no material current understandings, commitments or agreements with respect to any acquisition in whole of other businesses, products or technologies.
At December 31, 2006, we had approximately $7.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, a decrease of approximately $778,000 from the December 31, 2005 balance. Our loss for the year was somewhat offset by non-cash depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $1.2 million, much of which relates to amortization of previously capitalized software development costs, $577,000 of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and an increase in deferred revenue of $1.9 million. Also contributing to cash growth was $244,000 in proceeds from the issuance of common stock in conjunction with the exercise of our stock options and purchases through our employee stock purchase plan. Offsetting these items were an increase in accounts receivable of $3.6 million, purchases of fixed assets of $224,000 and a net increase in the remaining operating liabilities over operating assets of $579,000.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2005 and 2006, we did not have any other relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, which clarifies the accounting for income taxes, by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We will adopt FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, as required. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 will be recorded in retained earnings and other accounts as applicable. We are evaluating the potential impact of this interpretation on our future results of operations and financial condition.
On September 13, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108,Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The guidance is applicable for our fiscal 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157,Fair Value Measurements. This statement provides a single definition of fair value, a framework for measuring fair value, and expanded disclosures concerning fair value. Previously, different definitions of fair value were contained in various accounting pronouncements creating inconsistencies in measurement and disclosures. SFAS 157 applies under those previously issued pronouncements that prescribe fair value as the relevant measure of value, except SFAS 123(R) and related interpretations and pronouncements that require or permit measurement similar to fair value but are not intended to measure fair value. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
ITEM 7A. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Our earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To a certain extent, foreign currency exchange rate movements also affect our competitive position, as exchange rate changes may affect business practices and/or pricing strategies on non-U.S. based competitors. Our primary foreign currency risk exposures are related to U.S. Dollar to Euro and U.S. Dollar to Chinese Yuan conversions. Our subsidiary in China conducts business primarily in the Chinese Yuan. Considering the anticipated cash flows from firm sales commitments and anticipated sales for the next quarter, a hypothetical 10% weakening of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro would not materially adversely affect expected first quarter 2007 earnings or cash flows. This analysis is dependent on actual export sales during the next quarter occurring within 90% of budgeted

forecasts. The effect of the hypothetical change in exchange rates ignores the effect this movement may have on other variables including competitive risk. If it were possible to quantify this competitive impact, the results could well be different than the sensitivity effects described above. Each month, we review our position for expected currency exchange rate movements.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily from our short-term available-for-sale investments. Under our current policies, we do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. A hypothetical 100 basis point adverse move in interest rates along the entire interest rate yield curve would not materially affect the fair value of our interest sensitive financial instruments at December 31, 2006. Declines in interest rates over time will, however, reduce our interest income.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established and currently maintain disclosure controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any control or procedure, no matter how well designed and functioning, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management applied its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Additionally, the design of any system of controls is partially based upon certain assumptions of the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will achieve its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changing conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate. Consequently, because of the inherent limitations of a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness and the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2006, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due to the identification of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.
Notwithstanding the material weaknesses described below, management believes the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the preparation of our 2006 consolidated financial statements, we have identified the following control deficiencies, which represent material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006:
Inability to Appropriately Analyze Certain Accounts. We did not maintain effective controls with respect to the analysis of our revenue recognition and various accrual accounts. Specifically, we did not perform a complete and timely review of two of our customer agreements, which resulted in audit adjustments related to the improper recognition of revenue during the three-month period ended December 31, 2006. In addition, we did not perform a complete analysis of various accrual accounts, including accrued commissions expenses, resulting in audit adjustments in the 2006 consolidated financial statements. Additionally, these control deficiencies could result in a misstatement in the aforementioned accounts that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has concluded that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
Ineffective Segregation of Duties Within Key Information Systems Applications. We did not maintain effective segregation of duties within the administration of certain of our key information systems applications. We did not adequately segregate duties between those employees with everyday duties to initiate, process and record transactions from those who administer the application. Accordingly, management has concluded that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
During the first quarter of 2007, we began remediation of these material weaknesses as follows:
• | We implemented compensating controls to ensure that revenue is not recognized if the customer agreement has not been signed by both parties. We also implemented controls to ensure that revenue is not recognized until any right of return from the customer expires. |
• | We implemented an enhanced quarterly and annual financial statement close, review and reporting process to include additional levels of analysis and review to ensure that appropriate accrued expenses are recorded in the proper period. |
• | We are revising the administration of the aforementioned information system applications to segregate duties of employees in such a manner so as to separate administrative functions from transaction processing functions. |
Notwithstanding the remediation initiatives described above, the control deficiencies will not be considered remediated until new controls are implemented, in operation for a sufficient period of time, are tested and our management concludes that the new controls are operating effectively
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the changes described above, we have made no significant change in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter covered by this report on Form 10-K that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Document Sciences Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Document Sciences Corporation as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Document Sciences Corporation at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2006, Document Sciences Corporation changed its method of accounting for share-based payments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Document Sciences Corporation was incorporated on October 18, 1991 in Delaware as a subsidiary of Xerox Corporation (Xerox). We develop, market and support a family of dynamic content publishing software products and services used in high volume print and transactional web-based applications. Our products enable automated publishing solutions for many industries, including insurance, financial services, managed healthcare and commercial outsourcing.
We currently derive all of our license revenues from licenses of ourxPression andAutographproducts. Our service revenues come from fees for services related to these products, as well as fees for outsourced development through our subsidiary, Objectiva Software Solutions, Inc. (Objectiva).
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all our operations. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Operations
The functional currency of Objectiva’s subsidiary, Objectiva Software Solutions (Beijing), is the Chinese Yuan. The balance sheet accounts of our subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars at exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. Dollars at the average rates of exchange during the period. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in selling and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and were not significant during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments that include debt securities with remaining maturities when acquired of three months or less and are stated at fair market value. We evaluate the financial strength of institutions at which significant investments are made and believe the related credit risk is limited to an acceptable level.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115,Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, we have classified our investments as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are reported in stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary, if any, on available-for-sale securities will be included in investment income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Concentration of Credit Risk
We sell our products primarily to large, multinational customers in the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia and South America. We derived 14%, 17% and 25% of our total revenues from customers outside the United States for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. A significant concentration of our customers is in the insurance, finance and commercial print service industries. Xerox was the only customer that accounted for more than 10% of our revenue in any one year. It accounted for 10%, 13% and 18% for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and a cash deposit is generally not required. We estimate our potential losses on trade receivables on an ongoing basis.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required, which would result in an additional general and administrative expense in the period such determination is made.
Net Deferred Tax Assets
We follow the liability method of accounting for income taxes, as set forth in SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. At December 31, 2006, we had net deferred tax assets of $5.1 million. Due to the uncertainty of realizing these net deferred tax assets, we have a valuation allowance of $5.1 million on our deferred tax assets. Such uncertainty primarily relates to the potential for future taxable income as well as loss carryforwards and tax credits expiring in 2018 and 2012, respectively.
Property and Equipment, Depreciation and Amortization
Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (generally three to seven years). Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided over the lesser of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvements.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We review the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets, primarily property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and software development costs, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. Should indicators of impairment exist, the carrying values of the assets are evaluated in relation to the operating performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying asset. The net book value of an asset is adjusted to fair value if its expected future undiscounted cash flow is less than its book value. We have identified no such impairment losses as of December 31, 2006 and 2005.
Software Development Costs
In accordance with SFAS 86,Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed, costs incurred in the research and development of new software products and significant enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility of the product has been established. After technological feasibility has been established, direct production costs, including programming and testing, are capitalized until general release of the product.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Capitalized costs of software to be sold, licensed or otherwise marketed are amortized using the greater of the amount computed using the ratio of current period product revenues to estimated total product revenues or the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic lives of the products. It is possible that estimated total product revenues, the estimated economic life of the product, or both, will be reduced in the future. As a result, the carrying amount of capitalized software costs may be reduced in the future, which could cause our operating results in future periods to be adversely affected. We expect to expense the remaining software development cost balance in 2007.
Goodwill
Upon acquisition of a business, we allocate the purchase price to tangible assets and liabilities acquired and identifiable intangible assets. Any residual purchase price is recorded as goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price requires management to make significant estimates in determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, especially with respect to intangible assets. These estimates are based on historical experience and information obtained from the management from the acquired company. Estimates used in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are inherently uncertain and unpredictable.
We have recorded goodwill in connection with our acquisitions of Objectiva and Data Retrieval. Under SFAS 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. We annually assess the underlying value of our goodwill by analyzing the related future net cash flows and determine whether an adjustment to the carrying value is required. For 2006 and 2005, no adjustment was required. Separable intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. We assess the impairment of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Guarantees
In the ordinary course of business, we include standard indemnification provisions in our customer and distributor agreements. Pursuant to these agreements, we typically indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse the indemnified party for those losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party arising from any trade secret, trademark, copyright, patent or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to our software and services. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual. The maximum potential amount of future payments that we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, we have never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. We believe the estimated fair value of our obligation under these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2006 and 2005.
We currently provide software product warranties to our customers. The product warranties generally provide that the licensed software will operate substantially in accordance with the applicable user documentation for a period typically 90 days from delivery. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, we did not have material product warranty liabilities.
We have agreements in place with our directors and officers whereby we indemnify them for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at our request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, we have a director and officer insurance policy that may enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.

Revenue Recognition
We derive our revenues principally from the licensing of software, post contract support fees (PCS) and professional services. We recognize revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2,Software Revenue Recognition. Although some software is licensed on a perpetual basis, the majority of our licenses are currently time-based licenses that are required to be renewed annually. Revenues are recognized when a contract exists, the fee is fixed and determinable, software delivery has occurred and collection of the receivable is deemed probable. Amounts billed or payments received in advance of revenue recognition are recorded as deferred revenue.
If an arrangement includes multiple elements, we allocate the contract amount to the various elements based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value, regardless of any separate prices stated within the contracts for each element. We base our VSOE on the price charged when the same element is sold separately. If an undelivered element of the arrangement exists, revenue is deferred based on VSOE of the fair value of the undelivered element. If VSOE of fair value does not exist for all undelivered elements, all revenue is deferred until sufficient evidence exists or all elements have been delivered. We use the residual method to recognize revenue when an arrangement includes one or more elements to be delivered at a future date and VSOE of the fair value of all undelivered elements exists.
We recognize fees for annual licensing arrangements ratably over the contract term of twelve months because we are unable to establish VSOE for the license and support elements under this type of bundled arrangement.
For perpetual license arrangements, VSOE of fair value for ongoing maintenance and support obligations (PCS) is determined based upon the historical, stand-alone renewal rates or pricing. We recognize revenue relating to the perpetual software license arrangements at inception of the arrangement using the residual method as discussed above.
Our contracts do not provide for specific upgrades. In addition, our standard contracts do not provide for rights of return or conditions of acceptance; however, in cases where acceptance criteria are provided, revenue is deferred and not recognized until all conditions are satisfied and written customer acceptance is obtained.
Professional services revenue includes consulting services and training related to our software products. Revenues generated from consulting services and training are recognized as the related services are performed and collectibility is deemed probable, based on VSOE of fair value of the services. VSOE of fair value for professional services is determined based upon the price charged when these services are sold separately. For professional services that are bundled with annual software licenses and are not deemed to be essential to the functionality of the delivered software product, we recognize the entire arrangement fee ratably over the longer of the period over which the professional services are expected to be rendered, or the PCS period, beginning with delivery of the software and commencement of the professional services. In the vast majority of cases, the arrangement fee is recognized ratably over the twelve month PCS period. In certain limited situations where we determine that professional services period is the longer period, upon the end of the PCS term, we recognize license and PCS revenues at that stage (on the residual basis), recognizing the remaining deferred revenue for the unfinished services over the remaining period of such services.
If consulting services are deemed to be essential to the functionality of the delivered software product, revenue from the entire arrangement is recognized on a percentage of completion method or not until the contract is completed in accordance with SOP 81-1,Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts, and Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 45,Long-Term Construction-Type
F-10

DOCUMENT SCIENCES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Contracts. We measure progress under the percentage of completion method, depending on how the contract language is written, either by using the percentage of total project hours completed or by the completion of phases in the consulting project. Because the phases of our consulting projects are generally not of great duration (2-6 weeks on average), we believe that there are very limited circumstances where materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.
We work in conjunction with our established VARs, with whom we have formal contracts defining the rights and obligations of the parties, to license software to end-users. We license software to our VARs, less a discount, from a fixed price list. We require a binding purchase order as evidence of an unconditional order by an end user from our VARs, with no rights of return or acceptance. License revenue from our VARs is recognized when software is licensed to an end user.
Computation of Net Income (Loss) Per Share
We present our net income (loss) per share information in accordance with SFAS 128,Earnings per Share (EPS). Basic EPS is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. Shares issued during the period and shares reacquired during the period are weighted for the portion of the period that they were outstanding. Basic EPS excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities.
The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the common shares underlying outstanding options and warrants had been issued. The dilutive effect of outstanding options and warrants has been reflected in EPS by application of the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method recognizes the use of proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options and warrants in computing diluted EPS. It assumes that any proceeds would be used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Options and warrants will have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options or warrants. Common stock options to purchase 49,482, 28,121 and 185,439 shares were excluded from the calculation of weighted-average shares used in determining diluted EPS for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, as their effect would have been antidilutive.
The following table reconciles the shares used in computing basic and diluted EPS for the periods indicated:
Years Ended December 31, | ||||||
2006 | 2005 | 2004 | ||||
Weighted average common shares outstanding used in basic EPS calculation | 4,264,482 | 4,147,622 | 3,624,362 | |||

Shares used in diluted EPS calculation | 4,264,482 | 5,333,868 | 4,729,373 | |||
Stock-Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 123(R)Share-Based Payment, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options and employee stock purchases, based on estimated fair values. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107 relating to SFAS 123(R). We have applied the provisions of SAB 107 in our adoption of SFAS 123(R).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
In November 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) SFAS 123R-3,Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards. FSP SFAS 123R-3 provides an elective alternative transition method, to SFAS 123R, in accounting for the tax effects of share-based payment awards to employees. The elective method utilizes a computational component that establishes a beginning balance of the Additional Paid-In Capital (APIC) pool related to employee compensation and a simplified method to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool of employee awards that are fully vested and outstanding upon the adoption of SFAS 123R. The impact on the APIC pool of awards partially vested upon, or granted after, the adoption of SFAS 123R should be determined in accordance with the guidance in SFAS 123R. We have adopted the transition election of FSP SFAS 123R-3. The adoption of FAS 123R-3 for the year ended December 31, 2006 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our consolidated income statement. SFAS 123(R) supersedes our previous accounting under the provisions of SFAS 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. As permitted by SFAS 123, we measured compensation cost for options granted prior to January 1, 2006, in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Accordingly, no accounting recognition was given to stock options granted at fair market value until they are exercised. Upon exercise, net proceeds, including tax benefits realized, were credited to equity.
We adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of our fiscal year 2006. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, our consolidated financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123(R). Stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) for the year ended December 31, 2006 consisted of stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options and employee stock purchases of approximately $202,000, or $0.05 per share (basic). There was no stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options and employee stock purchases recognized during the year ended December 31, 2005.
The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options and stock purchases under SFAS 123(R) for the year ended December 31, 2006 which was allocated as follows:
2006 | |||
Cost of sales | $ | 117,000 | |
Research and development | 28,000 | ||
Selling, general and administrative | 57,000 | ||
Total | $ | 202,000 | |
We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following weighted average assumptions:
2006 | 2005 | 2004 | |||||||
Expected life of options (in years) | 5.5 – 5.7 | 5.7 | 5.7 | ||||||
Expected volatility | 55 – 85 | % | 52 | % | 51 | % | |||
Risk-free interest rates | 4.4 – 4.6 | % | 4.5 | % | 4 | % | |||
Dividend yields | 0 | % | 0 | % | 0 | % |

DOCUMENT SCIENCES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
In determining fair value, we used the following criteria:
Expected Life.The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that the option is expected to be outstanding. We estimate the expected term of the option grants based on historical exercise patterns that are believed to be representative of future behavior as well as other various factors.
Expected Volatility.We estimate our volatility using our historical share price performance over the expected term of the options, which management believes is materially indicative of expectations about expected future volatility.
Risk-Free Interest Rate.We use risk-free interest rates in the Black-Scholes option valuation model that are based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options.
Dividend Rate.We do not issue dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, we use an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option valuation model.
Forfeitures. SFAS 123R requires companies to estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revise those estimates in subsequent reporting periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We use historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and record share-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. For purposes of calculating pro forma information under SFAS 123 for periods prior to the date of adoption of SFAS 123R, we accounted for forfeitures as they occurred.
For purposes of adjusted pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the option’s vesting period. The effect of applying SFAS 123 for purposes of providing pro forma disclosures is not likely to be representative of the effects on our operating results for future years because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect future value estimates. Our pro forma information is as follows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004:
Years ended December 31, | ||||||||
2005 | 2004 | |||||||
Net income (loss), as reported | $ | 19,255 | $ | 598,280 | ||||
Less stock-based compensation expense | (995,603 | ) | (688,841 | ) | ||||
Net income (loss), as reported less stock-based compensation expense | $ | (976,348 | ) | $ | (90,561 | ) | ||
Pro forma basic and diluted net income (loss) per share | $ | (0.24 | ) | $ | (0.03 | ) |
As of December 31, 2006, there was approximately $149,000 of total compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements for stock options granted under the plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.17 years. During the year ended December 31, 2006, we recognized approximately $145,000 in compensation expense related to nonvested shares.
As of December 31, 2006, there was approximately $776,000 of total compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements for restricted stock granted under the plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.83 years. During the year ended December 31, 2006, we recognized approximately $375,000 in compensation expense related to nonvested restricted shares.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
In 1998, we adopted SFAS 130,Reporting Comprehensive Income. SFAS 130 requires that all components of comprehensive income (loss), including net income (loss), be reported in the financial statements in the period they are recognized. Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity during a period from
F-13

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss), including foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on investments, shall be reported, net of their related tax effect, to arrive at comprehensive income (loss). We have disclosed comprehensive income (loss) in our financial statements accordingly.
Segment Information
Operating segments, as defined in SFAS 131,Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by a company in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. This financial information is required to be reported on the basis that is used internally for evaluating the segment performance. The chief operating decision maker has determined that we operate in one business segment, which is software development. Geographic information, however, has been disclosed in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 131.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, which clarifies the accounting for income taxes, by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We will adopt FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, as required. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 will be recorded in retained earnings and other accounts as applicable. We are evaluating the potential impact of this interpretation on our future results of operations and financial condition.
On September 13, 2006, the SEC issued SAB 108,Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The guidance is applicable for our fiscal 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157,Fair Value Measurements. This statement provides a single definition of fair value, a framework for measuring fair value, and expanded disclosures concerning fair value. Previously, different definitions of fair value were contained in various accounting pronouncements creating inconsistencies in measurement and disclosures. SFAS 157 applies under those previously issued pronouncements that prescribe fair value as the relevant measure of value, except SFAS 123(R) and related interpretations and pronouncements that require or permit measurement similar to fair value but are not intended to measure fair value. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Short-term Investments
We have classified all of our short-term investment securities as available-for-sale. The following table summarizes available-for-sale securities at December 31, 2006 and 2005:

$ | 1,180,193 | $ | — | $ | (342 | ) | $ | 1,179,851 | |||||
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of available-for-sale securities at December 31, 2006 have contractual maturities of one year or less.
The following table shows the gross unrealized losses and fair value of our investments with unrealized losses that are not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at December 31, 2006:
Less than 12 Months | |||||||

Corporate debentures/bonds | 545,180 | (86 | ) | ||||
$ | 1,437,214 | $ | (89 | ) | |||
The unrealized losses on our investments are due to increased interest rates and not credit quality. Because we have the ability and intent to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, we do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2006.

At December 31, 2006, we had net deferred tax assets of $5.1 million. Due to the uncertainty of realizing these net deferred tax assets, we recorded a valuation allowance of $5.1 million on our net deferred tax assets. Such uncertainty primarily relates to the potential for future taxable income as well as loss carryforwards and tax credits expiring in 2018 and 2012, respectively. We will continue to assess the likelihood of realization of such assets; however, if future events occur which do not make the realization of such assets more likely than not, we will continue to maintain a valuation allowance against all or a portion of these net deferred tax assets. Examples of future events that may occur which would make the realization of such assets not likely are a lack of taxable income resulting from poor operating results.
At December 31, 2006, we have federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively, that will begin expiring in 2018 unless previously utilized. At December 31, 2006, we have federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $665,000 and $278,000, respectively, that will begin expiring in 2012 unless previously utilized.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Pursuant to Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, annual use of our net operating loss carryforwards may be limited in the event of a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% within a three-year period.
We do not provide for income taxes which would be payable if undistributed earnings of our Chinese subsidiary were remitted because we consider these earnings to be permanently reinvested. As of December 31, 2006, the undistributed earnings of this foreign subsidiary are approximately $2.0 million.

7. Employee Retirement Plan
401(k) Plan
We have an employee savings and retirement plan (401(k) Plan) that is intended to be tax-qualified covering substantially all employees. Under the terms of the 401(k) Plan, employees may elect to contribute up to 15% of their compensation, or the statutory prescribed limit, if less, to the 401(k) Plan as a savings contribution. We may, in our discretion, match employee contributions, at such rate as we determine, up to a maximum of $3,000 or 10% of the employee’s compensation. The 401(k) Plan has a profit sharing element whereby we can contribute annually an amount determined by the Board of Directors. An employee’s interest in matching contributions and profit sharing contributions generally vest over four years from the date of employment. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, we made discretionary contributions of $381,000, $341,000 and $314,000, respectively.
