EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A amends our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, filed on April 15, 2005 (the “Original Form 10-K”) to reflect the restatement of our balance sheet as of December 31, 2004. The restatement of the balance sheet reflects a reclassification of $4,902,000 from deferred revenue, long-term to deferred revenue, current in order to correct a clerical error relating to a contract signed in June 2004 of $4,398,000 and two computational errors totaling $504,000. This restatement is described in more detail in Notes 2 and 16 to the Financial Statements.
We have amended and restated in its entirety each item of the Original Form 10-K that has been changed to reflect the restatement. These items are Part II, Item 6 – Selected Financial Data; Part II, Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data; Part II, Item 9A — Controls and Procedures; and certain Exhibits.
Except as stated above, this Report speaks only as of the date of the Original Form 10-K. Except as specified above, this filing does not reflect any events occurring after April 15, 2005.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Scientific Learning Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Scientific Learning Corporation as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the related statements of operations, stockholders deficit, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 15 (a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of Scientific Learning Corporation’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 financial position of Scientific Learning Corporation as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, 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.

Description of Business
Scientific Learning Corporation (the “Company”) provides neuroscience-based software products that develop underlying cognitive skills required for reading and learning. The Company’s Fast ForWord® products are a series of reading intervention products for children, adolescents and adults. We sell primarily to K-12 schools through a direct sales force. The Company also sells to speech and language professionals. To support our products, we provide on-site and remote training and implementation services, as well as technical, professional and customer support and a wide variety of Web-based resources.
The Company was incorporated in 1995 in the State of California and was reincorporated in 1997 in the State of Delaware.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results may differ from those estimated.
Revenue Recognition
We derive revenue from the sale of licenses to our software and from service and support fees. Software license revenue is recognized in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by Statement of Position 98-9 (SOP 97-2). SOP 97-2 provides specific industry guidance and four basic criteria, which must be met to recognize revenue. These are: 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement; 2) delivery of the product; 3) a fixed or determinable fee; and 4) the probability that the fee will be collected.
Sales to our school customers typically include multiple elements (e.g. Fast ForWord software licenses, Progress Tracker, our Internet-based participant tracking service, support, training, implementation management, and other services). The Company allocates revenue to each element of a transaction based upon its fair value as determined in reliance on “vendor specific objective evidence” (“VSOE”). VSOE of fair value for each element of an arrangement is based upon the normal pricing and discounting practices for those products and services when sold separately and, for support services, is also measured by the renewal price.
The value of software licenses, services and support invoiced during a particular period is recorded as deferred revenue until recognized. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue as discussed below.
License revenue
Revenue from the licensing of software is recognized as follows:
Perpetual licenses – software licensed on a perpetual basis. Revenue is recognized at the later of product delivery date or contract start date using the residual method. If VSOE does not exist for all the undelivered elements, all revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the service period if the undelivered element is services or when all elements have been delivered.
Term licenses – software licensed for a specific time period, generally three to twelve months. Revenue is recognized ratably over the license term.
Individual participant licenses – software licensed for a single participant. Revenue is recognized over the average period of use, typically six weeks.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Service and support revenue
Service and support revenue is derived from a combination of training, implementation, technical and professional services, online services and customer support. Training, technical and other professional services are typically sold on a per day basis. If VSOE exists for all elements of an arrangement or all elements except software licenses, services revenue is recognized as performed. If VSOE does not exist for all the elements in an arrangement except software licenses, service revenue is recognized over the longest contractual period in an arrangement. Revenue from services sold alone or with support is recognized as performed.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the time of purchase.
Accounts Receivable
The Company conducts business primarily with public school districts and speech and language professionals in the United States. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed on customers and collateral is generally not required. Allowances for uncollectible accounts are made for potential credit issues based on past experience and management assessment of current risks.
Inventories
Product inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using a weighted average approach, which approximates the first-in first-out method. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to obsolescence or lack of demand, reserves are recorded for the difference between the cost and the market value.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable from current and former officers, and accounts payable approximate fair value.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
Cash and cash equivalents are invested in major financial institutions in the United States. Such deposits may be in excess of insured limits and are not insured in other jurisdictions. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s investments are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments.
The accounts receivable of the Company are derived from sales to customers located primarily in the United States. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. The Company does not require collateral.
An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined with respect to those accounts that the Company has determined to be doubtful of collection. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, no customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable.
The company has no off-balance sheet concentration of credit risk, such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other hedging arrangements.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to five years.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Software Development Costs
The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed,”under which certain software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility are capitalized and amortized over the estimated lives of the related products. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. In 2003 and 2004, costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility were not significant, and were charged to research and development expense. The Company capitalized $116,000 of software development costs for the year ended December 31, 2002. Software costs are amortized to cost of product revenues over the estimated useful life of the software, which is three years. Amortization was $351,000, $617,000 and $718,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company regularly reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets. We continually make estimates regarding future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges for these assets.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock issued to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”),“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 (“SFAS 123”),“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”and SFAS No. 148 (“SFAS 148”),“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.” Under APB 25, compensation expense of fixed stock options is based on the difference, if any, on the date of the grant between the fair value of the Company’s stock and the exercise price of the option. The Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 and EITF No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.”
Pro Forma Disclosures of the Effect of Stock-Based Compensation
Pro forma information regarding the results of operations and net income (loss) per share is determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options and employee stock purchase plan stock using the fair value method. The fair value of each option granted and employee stock purchase plan stock issued is estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year ended December 31, | |
Employee & Director Stock Options | | 2004 | | | 2003 | | | 2002 | |
Weighted average expected life of option (in years) | | | 5 | | | | 5 | | | | 5 | |

Weighted average fair value | | $ | 2.06 | | | $ | 1.56 | | | $ | 1.08 | |
Page 12
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Company has elected to use the intrinsic value method in accounting for its employee stock options because, as discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting requires the use of option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under the intrinsic value method, when the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
The option valuation models were developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the option.
Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock-based compensation plans been determined using the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans calculated using the Black Scholes valuation model, the Company’s pro forma net income (loss) and basic and diluted net income (loss) per share would have been as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended December 31, |
| | 2004 | | | 2003 | | | 2002 | | |
Net income (loss), as reported | | $ | (693 | ) | | $ | 2,130 | | | $ | (8,695 | ) | |
Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards | | | (1,668 | ) | | | (1,465 | ) | | | (2,472 | ) | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Pro forma net income (loss), per share | | $ | (2,361 | ) | | $ | 665 | | | $ | (11,167 | ) | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Basic, as reported | | $ | (0.04 | ) | | $ | 0.13 | | | $ | (0.56 | ) | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Diluted, as reported | | $ | (0.04 | ) | | $ | 0.13 | | | $ | (0.56 | ) | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Basic, pro forma | | $ | (0.14 | ) | | $ | 0.04 | | | $ | (0.71 | ) | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Diluted, pro forma | | $ | (0.14 | ) | | $ | 0.04 | | | $ | (0.71 | ) | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
The pro forma impact of options on the net income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, is not representative of the effects on net income (loss) for future years, as future years will include the effects of additional years of stock option grants.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $13,000, $1,000 and $4,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires the use of the liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the net amount expected to be realized.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128,“Earnings per Share,”basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by adding common stock equivalents (computed using the treasury stock method) to the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, if dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their inclusion is antidilutive.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The following table sets forth the computation of net income (loss) per share (in thousands, except share and per share data):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended December 31, | |
| | 2004 | | | 2003 | | | 2002 | |
Net income (loss) | | $ | (693 | ) | | $ | 2,130 | | | $ | (8,695 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | |
Weighted average shares used in calculation of basic net income (loss) per share | | | 16,408,039 | | | | 16,006,565 | | | | 15,641,849 | |
Effect of dilutive securities: | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Employee stock options | | | — | | | | 901,796 | | | | — | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Weighted-average diluted common share | | | 16,408,039 | | | | 16,908,361 | | | | 15,641,849 | |

Net income (loss) per common share- basic: | | $ | (0.04 | ) | | $ | 0.13 | | | $ | (0.56 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | |
Net income (loss) per common share- diluted: | | $ | (0.04 | ) | | $ | 0.13 | | | $ | (0.56 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | |
If the Company had reported net income in 2004 or 2002, the calculation of diluted earnings per share would have included the shares used in the computation of basic net loss per share as well as an additional 1,101,352 and 64,000 common equivalent shares (computed using the treasury stock method) related to outstanding stock options not included in the calculations above for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2002, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
SFAS 123(R),“Share-Based Payment”
On December 16, 2004 the FASB issued SFAS 123 (revised 2004),“Share-Based Payment,”which is a revision of SFAS 123,“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.”Statement 123(R) supercedes APB 25,“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,”and amends SFAS 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” Generally, the approach in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. However, SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options and purchases under employee stock purchase plans, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure of fair value recognition will no longer be an alternative.
SFAS 123(R) is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005, with earlier adoption permitted. We are required to adopt this new standard in our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006. SFAS 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods:
| 1. | A “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date that remain unvested on the effective date. |
|
| 2. | A “modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above but also permits restatement using amounts previously disclosed under the pro forma provisions of SFAS 123 either for (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption. |
We have not yet chosen a method of adoption for SFAS 123(R).
Page 14
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
As permitted by SFAS 123, we currently account for share-based payments to employees using APB 25’s intrinsic value method. As a consequence, we generally recognize no compensation cost for employee stock options and purchases under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Although the adoption of SFAS 123(R)’s fair value method will have no adverse impact on our balance sheet or net cash flows, it will have a significant adverse impact on our net income and net income per share. The pro forma effects on net income and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to share-based payments to employees in prior periods are disclosed in Note 1 under“Stock-Based Incentive Programs.”Although the pro forma effects of applying SFAS 123 may be indicative of the effects of applying SFAS 123(R), the provisions of these two statements differ in some important respects. The actual effects of adopting SFAS 123(R) will depend on numerous factors including the valuation model we use to value future share-based payments to employees, estimated forfeiture rates and the accounting policies we adopt concerning the method of recognizing the fair value of awards over the requisite service period.
Reclassifications
Certain other asset items from prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
2. Restatement
The Company has restated its previously reported balance sheet as of December 31, 2004. This restatement reflects a correction in the Company’s classification of the short and long term deferred revenues totaling $4,902,000. The restatement of deferred revenues resulted from a clerical error in the classification between long and short term amounts for a contract executed in June 2004 of $4,398,000 and two computational errors totaling $504,000. The following table summarizes the change to the balance sheet at December 31, 2004:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Previously reported | | | Adjustment | | | Restated | |
Current liabilities | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Deferred revenue | | | 15,079 | | | | 4,902 | | | | 19,981 | |
Total current liabilities | | | 20,020 | | | | 4,902 | | | | 24,922 | |
Deferred revenue, long term | | | 10,705 | | | | (4,902 | ) | | | 5,803 | |
3. Restructuring, Lease and Asset Impairment Write Downs
In 2004, the Company completed lease termination payments of $1.8 million. There were no other restructuring activities during the year and no accrued restructuring costs as of December 31, 2004.
In October 2003 the Company entered into a lease termination agreement with its landlord to terminate the lease on its Oakland headquarters and entered into a new lease agreement for a reduced amount of space in the same building. The reduction in space is expected to reduce future lease payments by $6.5 million (net of lease termination fees described below) through 2008. Under the lease termination agreement the Company paid an increased security deposit of $550,000 and lease termination fees totaling $490,000 in 2003. A net credit adjustment of $7,000 was charged to operations. The adjustment represented an addition to the restructuring reserve of $350,000 for lease and asset impairment charges, offset by a reduction in deferred rent of $357,000 to account for the reduction in space under the new lease agreement.
In 2002 the Company recorded restructuring, lease and asset impairment charges of $3.4 million in operating expenses. The restructuring resulted in a workforce reduction of approximately 30 employees and a total charge to operations for severance benefits of $1.1 million. All affected employees had been terminated or notified of their severance benefits by December 31, 2002. Most of the employees affected by the workforce reduction were located in the Company’s Oakland office in the marketing and customer service departments.
Page 15
Notes to Financial Statements
3. Restructuring, Lease and Asset Impairment Write Downs (continued)
Due to continued weakness in the commercial real estate market in 2002 the Company recorded an additional charge for excess office space at the Company’s Oakland headquarters of $2.3 million. This charge reflected adjustments to the assumptions on which the 2001 write down for excess office space had been made, including assumptions about the time period that the excess office space would be vacant and potential sublease terms. The Company calculated the estimated costs for the additional facilities restructuring charge based on current market information provided by a commercial real estate broker. We estimated the $3.0 million accrued at December 31, 2002 would be paid over the next two years.
The following table sets forth the restructuring activity during the three years ended December 31, 2004 (in thousands).

9. Bank Line of Credit
On January 30, 2004 the Company entered into a revolving line of credit agreement with Comerica Bank. The line totaled $7.0 million through July 22, 2004; after that date, the maximum that can be borrowed under the agreement is $5.0 million. The line expires on July 14, 2005. Borrowing under the line of credit bears interest at prime plus 0.5%, currently 5.75%. The facility was partially secured by a letter of credit provided by WPV, Inc., an affiliate of Warburg, Pincus Ventures, a significant stockholder of the Company. The letter of credit was for $4.0 million through May 30, 2004 and $3.0 million from May 31, 2004 to July 30, 2004. The non–guaranteed portion of the line is subject to limitations based on the Company’s accounts receivable balance. To further secure the line the Company granted Comerica a security interest in all of our assets other than our intellectual property, and agreed not to restrict our ability to grant a security interest in our intellectual property. Borrowings under the line are subject to various covenants. There were no borrowings outstanding on the line of credit at December 31, 2004.
In consideration of the original guarantee the Company granted a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets and issued WPV, Inc. a fully vested and non-forfeitable warrant to purchase 1,375,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $8.00. The warrant will expire if unexercised by March 9, 2008. The fair value of the warrant at the date of issuance was $3.6 million; this amount was amortized as deferred financing costs by a charge to interest expense through July 31, 2004.

10. Income Tax
The Company recorded a tax benefit of $43,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 relating to the reversal of a provision for U.S. federal alternative minimum tax for the year ended December 31, 2003. The Company has made no provision for U.S. federal, U.S. state or foreign income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 as the Company has incurred tax losses in all periods and for all jurisdictions.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows, (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | |
Net deferred tax assets | | $ | — | | | $ | — | |
| | |
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Accordingly, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance decreased from December 31, 2002 to December 31, 2003 in the amount of $357,000.
As of December 31, 2004, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $77,286,000, which expire in the years 2011 through 2024 and federal research tax credits of approximately $823,000, which expire in the years 2011 through 2024. The Company also had net operating loss carryforwards for state income tax purposes of approximately $30,315,000 expiring in the years 2006 through 2014 and state research tax credits of approximately $372,000 which carry forward indefinitely.
Utilization of the company’s net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitation provided by the Internal Revenue Code and a similar state provision. Such an annual limitation could result in the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards before utilization.

Common Stock
At December 31, 2004, the Company had reserved shares of common stock for future issuance as follows:
| | | | |
Stock Options outstanding | | | 3,103,102 | |
Stock Options available for future grants | | | 1,026,439 | |
Employee stock purchase plan | | | 225,675 | |
Common stock warrants | | | 1,375,000 | |
| | | |
| | | 5,730,216 | |
| | | |
Stock Options
The Company’s employee stock option plans provide for the issuance of incentive stock options (ISO), nonstatutory stock options (NSO) and stock awards to eligible participants. The ISOs may be granted at a price per share not less than the fair market value at the date of grant. The NSOs may be granted at a price per share not less than 85% of the fair market value at the date of grant. Certain options previously granted can be exercised prior to vesting, but, if so exercised, these unvested shares are subject to repurchase by the Company. Options and unvested shares granted generally vest over a period of four years. Options under the employee plans have a maximum term of ten years. In the event option holders cease to be employed by the Company, all unvested options are forfeited and all vested options may be exercised within a 90-day period after termination. The 90-day exercise period is sometimes extended by agreement with the optionee, which could result in a modification charge to operations.
In May 1999, the Company’s stockholders approved the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan, which amended and restated the Company’s previous stock option plan. 3,292,666 shares of common stock were authorized for issuance under the plan, including shares originally authorized under predecessor plans and shares added to the plan in 2001. In May 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and in May 2003, the shareholders subsequently approved, adding 1,350,000 shares to the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan. In January 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and in June 2004, the shareholders subsequently approved, adding an additional 850,000 shares to the 1999 Equity Plan. The total number of shares authorized for issuance under the plan is now 5,492,666. The Board of Directors also approved the 2002 CEO Stock Option Plan in May 2002, which was subsequently approved by the shareholders in May 2003. This plan reserved an aggregate of 470,588 shares for grants of stock options under the plan.
In May 1999, the Company’s stockholders approved the 1999 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan and reserved an aggregate of 75,000 shares of common stock for grants of stock options under the plan. In May 2003, the Company’s stockholders approved an increase in the number of shares authorized for issue under the plan from 75,000 shares to a total of 150,000 shares.
The Company has, on occasion, granted stock options and stock to non-employees and directors. A compensation charge has been recorded in these instances. In 2004 10,797 shares were issued to directors as payment for their services; an expense of $71,000 was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Common Stock Warrants
In 2001, the Company issued a fully vested non-forfeitable warrant to purchase 1,375,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $8.00 per share. The warrant was issued to WPV, Inc., an affiliate of a significant stockholder of the Company, in connection with the guarantee of a line of credit to the Company. The warrant is outstanding and will expire if unexercised by March 9, 2008. The fair value of the warrant at the date of issuance was $3.6 million. The value of the warrant was determined using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: a share price of $3.88, volatility of .85, a risk-free interest rate of 4.94%, no dividend yield and an expected life of seven years.

1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In May 1999 the stockholders approved the 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which became effective upon the completion of the initial public offering of the Company’s common stock. The Company initially reserved a total of 350,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the plan. In May 2002 the Company’s shareholders approved an additional 350,000 shares for a total of 700,000 shares. Eligible employees may purchase common stock at 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the first day of the applicable one-year offering period or the last day of the applicable six-month purchase period. The Company issued 78,468 and 52,912 shares of common stock under the plan during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. At December 31, 2004, 225,675 shares were available for issuance under the Plan.
12. Commitments
Leases
The Company leases its corporate office facility under a non-cancelable operating lease with a term expiring in 2013. Future minimum payments under this lease as of December 31, 2004 are as follows (in thousands):
| | | | |
2005 | | $ | 940 | |
2006 | | | 940 | |
2007 | | | 940 | |
2008 | | | 940 | |
2009 | | | 984 | |
2010 and thereafter | | | 4,423 | |
| | | |
| | $ | 9,167 | |
| | | |
Rent expense under all operating leases net of sublease income was $1 million, $1 million and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
License Agreement
In September 1996, the Company entered into a license agreement with a university for the use of the intellectual property underlying its most significant current products. In exchange for the license, which expires in 2014, the Company issued stock and paid a license-issue fee. The agreement also provided for milestone payments, all of which have been made, and for royalties based on sales of products using the licensed technology. Royalty expenses were $746,000, $898,000 and $723,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and are included in cost of revenues. Annual minimum guaranteed royalty payments are $150,000.
If the Company loses or is unable to maintain the license agreement during the term of the underlying patents, it would materially harm its business. The university may terminate the license agreement if the Company fails to perform or violates its terms without curing the violation within 60 days of receiving written notice of the violation.
13. Warranties; Indemnification
The Company generally provides a warranty that its software products substantially operate as described in the manuals and guides that accompany the software for a period of 90 days. The warranty does not apply in the event of misuse, accident, and certain other circumstances. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs associated with these warranties and has no accrual for such items at December 31, 2004.
Page 21
Notes to Financial Statements
13. Warranties; Indemnification (continued)
From time to time, the Company enters into contracts that require the Company, upon the occurrence of certain contingencies, to indemnify parties against third party claims. These contingent obligations primarily relate to (i) claims against the Company’s customers for violation of third party intellectual property rights caused by the Company’s products; (ii) claims resulting from personal injury or property damage resulting from the Company’s activities or products; (iii) claims by the Company’s office lessor arising out of the Company’s use of the premises; and (iv) agreements with the Company’s officers and directors under which the Company may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their activities on behalf of the Company. Because the obligated amounts for these types of agreements usually are not explicitly stated, the overall maximum amount of these obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. No liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on the Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 or 2003.
14. Employee Retirement and Benefit Plan
The Company has a defined contribution retirement plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, which covers substantially all employees. Eligible employees may contribute amounts to the plan, via payroll withholding, subject to certain limitations. The Company does not presently match contributions by plan participants.
15. Related Party Transaction
On September 30, 2003 the Company entered into an agreement with Posit Science Corporation (“PSC”), formerly Neuroscience Solutions Corporation, to provide PSC with exclusive rights in the healthcare field to certain intellectual property, patents and software owned or licensed by the Company, along with transfer of certain healthcare research projects. A co-founder, substantial shareholder, and member of the Board of Directors of the Company is a co-founder, officer, director and substantial shareholder of PSC.
The rights were acquired by PSC for a combination of cash, stock and future royalties. PSC paid $500,000 cash, of which $448,000 was recognized at December 31, 2003. The balance will be recognized over the next nine months as services are provided to PSC. Amounts received to date and any future receipts are being reported as other income as the Company does not consider the sale of these rights to be part of its recurring operations. Under the agreement, the Company will receive net royalties between 2% to 4% on products sold by PSC that use the Company’s patents or software. We did not record a value for the 1.8 million shares of PSC received in the transaction, because PSC was a private start-up venture, the shares of which had no determinable value.

The Company has restated its previously reported balance sheets as of June 30 and September 30, 2004. This restatement reflects a correction in the Company’s classification of short and long term deferred revenues totaling $4,398,000 as of June 30, 2004 and $4,615,000 as of September 30, 2004. As of June 30, 2004, the restatement of deferred revenues resulted from a clerical error in the classification between long and short term amounts for a contract executed in June 2004. As of September 30, 2004, the restatement of deferred revenues resulted from a clerical error in the classification of the same contract and a computation error.
The following table summarizes the change to the balance sheet at September 30, 2004:

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods. These procedures are also designed to ensure 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 disclosure.
In connection with the Original Form 10-K, as required under Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded in the Original Form 10-K that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2004. This determination was based on need to correct the Company’s revenue recognition method that that led to the restatement of the Company’s historical financial statements from 2000 through June 30, 2004. This restatement was effected by through filings with the SEC on February 15, 2005.
The Original Form 10-K was filed on April 15, 2005. In May 2005, in the course of preparing the first quarter 2005 financial statements, the Company’s management determined that the balance sheets at June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2004 incorrectly classified a portion of deferred revenue as long term deferred revenue when it should have been classified as current deferred revenue. As a result, the Company’s management and the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors concluded that the Company should, and in this filing the Company has, restated its balance sheet at December 31, 2004.
As a result of these circumstances, management has concluded that there is a material weakness in the Company’s internal controls, as defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
As required under Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Because of the revenue and deferred revenue issues discussed above, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2004. We are committed to implementing changes in our internal controls over financial reporting with respect to revenue and deferred revenue. We have hired additional accounting staff and we are in the process of evaluating what changes should be made in our controls. Except for these changes, during the year ended December 31, 2004, there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
It should be noted that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. As a result, there can be no assurance that a control system will succeed in preventing all possible instances of error and fraud. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and the conclusions of our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer are made at the “reasonable assurance” level.
