TABLE OF CONTENTS
EXPLANATORY NOTE
BindView Development Corporation, Inc. (“BindView” or the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2004, which was originally filed on May 14, 2004 (the “Form 10-Q”), to restate the consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures for the three months ended March 31, 2004 to correct a $131,000 overstatement of revenues in our Latin America operations. As more fully described in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, this overstatement was comprised of (i) two separate transactions with a single reseller and an end-user customer for which professional services revenues were overstated by $122,000; and (ii) maintenance revenue of $9,000 associated with a December 2003 transaction. The overstatement of professional services revenues resulted from the recording of revenues based on invalid documents that had been submitted to the Company’s accounting department by certain personnel in Latin America. In addition, the Company has revised Part I Item 4 to include information about the impact of the restatements on its internal controls. This Amendment No. 1 amends only the portions of the Form 10-Q listed in the next paragraph below; the remainder of the Form 10-Q is substantively unchanged but is reproduced in this Amendment No. 1 for convenient reference. This Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events occurring after the original filing date of the Form 10-Q except as otherwise indicated.

BINDVIEW DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of BindView Development Corporation, a Texas corporation (the “Company” or “BindView”), included herein have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. The Company believes that the presentations and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not misleading. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the interim periods. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s consolidated financial statements to conform with the current year presentation.
The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, Amendment No. 1 for the year ended December 31, 2003.
2. LOSS PER SHARE
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Options to purchase 9.2 million and 7.0 million shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
3. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for all stock-based employee compensation plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company’s common shares at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to
6
acquire the common shares. The Company generally grants options at prices equal to the market price of common shares on the date of the grant. However, if options are granted at a price below fair market value, compensation expense is recorded in accordance with the provisions of APB 25. Compensation expense may also be recognized for certain options which are considered variable option grants. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – an Amendment to FAS 123,” requires companies that continue to account for stock-based compensation in accordance with APB 25 to disclose certain information using tabular presentation as presented below. This table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, to stock-based employee compensation (in thousands, except per share amounts):

4. RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS
In January 2003, the Company approved a sales and marketing reorganization plan (the “2003 Restructuring Plan”). The cost of this plan totaled approximately $0.5 million and consisted primarily of (i) involuntary employee separation for approximately 20 employees (a reduction in workforce of approximately 4 percent), (ii) closing the Company’s Netherlands sales office, and (iii) reserves for leasehold abandonment. All actions under the 2003 Restructuring Plan were completed by December 31, 2003.
In July 2002, the Company approved a restructuring plan to improve operating efficiency and improve sales and marketing productivity (the “2002 Restructuring Plan”). The cost of this plan totaled approximately $1.9 million and consisted primarily of (i) involuntary employee separation for approximately 30 employees (a reduction in workforce of approximately 5 percent), (ii) closing the Company’s Boston development center and certain European sales offices, (iii) reserves for leasehold abandonment, and (iv) various non-personnel related cuts.
The 2002 Restructuring Plan activity from December 31, 2003 to March 31, 2004 was as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

|
Lease commitments | | $ | 1,538 | | | $ | (128 | ) | | $ | 1,410 | |
The remaining accrual for the 2002 Restructuring Plan at March 31, 2004 is comprised of the estimated carrying costs for our remaining excess space in Houston, Texas. Adjustments to this accrual could be required in
7
future periods if there are significant changes in the commercial real estate sublease market in Houston, Texas.
In 2001, the Company completed a corporate reorganization and implemented a number of cost-cutting measures to improve operating efficiency and to accelerate our return to profitability (the “2001 Restructuring Plan”). The cost of this plan totaled approximately $6.6 million and consisted primarily of: (i) involuntary employee separation expenses for approximately 160 employees (a reduction in workforce of approximately 21 percent), (ii) downsizing or closing of the Company’s Boston and Arlington development centers and certain European sales offices, (iii) reserves for leasehold abandonment, and (iv) various non-personnel related costs. The restructuring costs included a $1.2 million charge related to asset impairments of leasehold improvements, equipment and other assets of the closed or downsized offices.
The 2001 Restructuring Plan activity from December 31, 2003 to March 31, 2004 was as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | REMAINING | | | | | | REMAINING |

| | EXPENDITURES
| | 3/31/2004
|
Lease commitments | | $ | 453 | | | $ | (58 | ) | | $ | 395 | |
The remaining accrual for the 2001 Restructuring Plan consists of excess carrying costs until the lease cancellation for the Company’s two floors abandoned as part of said Plan is effective in September of 2004.
5. INCOME TAXES
The Company continues to provide a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. As in its prior assessments, the Company considered current and previous performance and other relevant factors in determining the sufficiency of its valuation allowance. Objective factors, such as current and previous operating losses, were given substantially more weight than management’s outlook for future profitability. Until such time as a consistent pattern of sufficient profitability is established, no tax benefit will be recognized associated with the Company’s pre-tax accounting losses and a full income tax provision will not be provided on any future pre-tax accounting income.
6. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In May 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program for the second quarter of 2004. Under this program, management of the Company may, at its discretion, spend up to $2.5 million for the repurchase of the Company’s common stock in the open market, subject to Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines and restrictions set forth in Rule 10b-18.
7. RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIALS
In October 2004, as a result of information obtained by the Company in its efforts to collect certain receivables from Latin America resellers, the Company’s Audit Committee commenced an investigation of the Company’s Latin American operations. The Audit Committee retained independent legal counsel and consultants to assist with the investigation. On December 6, 2004 with the investigation substantially complete, the Audit Committee concluded that the Company had inappropriately recognized approximately $1.0 million in revenues, involving six transactions in Latin America. The Company’s reported revenues were overstated by $173,000 in the fourth quarter of 2003; $131,000 in the first quarter of 2004; and $698,000 in the second quarter of 2004. As a result of the overstatement of revenues, the Audit Committee concluded the Company would restate its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the first two quarters of 2004, and also concluded that previously issued financial statements for those periods should no longer be relied upon. These conclusions were set forth in the Form 8-K dated December 6, 2004. The Audit Committee investigation was completed on December 8, 2004.
Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2003 were overstated by $173,000 related to a product return, which certain Company personnel in Latin America knew to have occurred within the contractually allowable return period, but which they did not report to the Company’s accounting department. If this return had been reported in a timely manner to the Company’s accounting department, revenues from this transaction would not have been recognized in the fourth quarter of 2003. Certain personnel in Latin America who knew of the product return also made inaccurate representations as to status of the receivable in response to the on-going collection efforts of the Company’s accounting department.
Revenues for the first quarter of 2004 were overstated by $131,000. This was comprised of (i) two separate transactions with a single reseller and an end-user customer for which professional services revenues were overstated by $122,000; and (ii) maintenance revenue of $9,000 on the fourth quarter 2003 transaction referred to above. The overstatement of professional services revenues resulted from the recording of revenues based on invalid contracts and statements of work that had been submitted to the Company’s accounting department by certain personnel in Latin America. These documents, certain of which the Company now believes were falsified prior to being submitted to its accounting department, purported to show that the Company had entered into an arrangement with a subsidiary of the reseller to provide services to the end-user customer on behalf of the Company.
For the three months ended March 31, 2004, total revenue decreased $130,000 to $14.8 million, gross profit decreased $130,000 to $12.9 million and net loss increased $130,000 to $2.8 million, each as compared to the amounts previously reported by the Company on its Form 10-Q on May 14, 2004. There was no effect on basic and diluted loss per share as a result of the adjustments.
Consequently, the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2004 are restated in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, Amendment No. 1. The following table summarizes the impact of these adjustments on the Company’s previously reported quarterly results filed on Form 10-Q (in thousands):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contain forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include those discussed in the “Cautionary Statements” set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, Amendment No. 1, for the year ended December 31, 2003. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements included with this report and our consolidated financial statements and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, Amendment No. 1.
In October 2004, as a result of information obtained by the Company in its efforts to collect certain receivables from Latin America resellers, the Company’s Audit Committee commenced an investigation of the Company’s Latin American operations. The Audit Committee retained independent legal counsel and consultants to assist with the investigation. On December 6, 2004 with the investigation substantially complete, the Audit Committee concluded that the Company had inappropriately recognized approximately $1.0 million in revenues involving six transactions in Latin America. The Company’s reported revenues were overstated by $173,000 in the fourth quarter of 2003; $131,000 in the first quarter for 2004; and $698,000 in the second quarter of 2004. As a result of the overstatement of revenues, the Audit Committee concluded the Company would restate its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the first two quarters of 2004 and also concluded that previously issued financial statements for those periods should no longer be relied upon. These conclusions were set forth in the Form 8-K dated December 6, 2004. The Audit Committee investigation was completed on December 8, 2004.
Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2003 were overstated by $173,000 related to a product return, which certain Company personnel in Latin America knew to have occurred within the contractually allowable return period, but which they did not report to the Company’s accounting department. If this return had been reported in a timely manner to the Company’s accounting department, revenues from this transaction would not have been recognized in the fourth quarter of 2003. Certain personnel in Latin America who knew of the product return also made inaccurate representations as to status of the receivable in response to the on-going collection efforts of the Company’s accounting department.
Revenues for the first quarter of 2004 were overstated by $131,000. This was comprised of (i) two separate transactions with a single reseller and an end-user customer for which professional services revenues were overstated by $122,000; and (ii) maintenance revenue of $9,000 on the fourth quarter 2003 transaction referred to above. The overstatement of professional services revenues resulted from the recording of revenues based on invalid contracts and statements of work that had been submitted to the Company’s accounting department by certain personnel in Latin America. These documents, certain of which the Company now believes were falsified prior to being submitted to its accounting department, purported to show that the Company had entered into an arrangement with a subsidiary of the reseller to provide services to the end-user customer on behalf of the Company.
Consequently, the effects of the restatement have been reflected in the discussion of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Amendment No. 1 to the Form 10-Q. This Amendment No. 1 to the Form 10-Q does not reflect any other events occurring after the original filing of the Form 10-Q.
Overview
See discussion under Item 1, “General” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, Amendment No. 1 for the year ended December 31, 2003 for an overview of our business.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared with those disclosed in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, Amendment No. 1 for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 Compared with the Three Months Ended March 31, 2003
Revenues.Revenues for the current quarter were $14.8 million compared with $13.0 million for the first quarter of 2003. License revenues for the first quarter of 2004 were $5.9 million, or 39.6 percent of total revenues, up from $5.2 million, or 39.8 percent of total revenues, in the first quarter of 2003. Services revenues for the first quarter of 2004 were $8.9 million, or 60.1 percent of total revenues, up from $7.9 million, or 60.2 percent of total revenues, in the first quarter of 2003. Services revenues for the first quarter of 2004 were comprised of maintenance revenues of $7.5 million and professional services revenues of $1.4 million, up from $7.0 million in maintenance revenues and $0.9 million in professional services revenues in the first quarter of 2003. The increase in services revenues was primarily due to an increase in our installed customer base and a higher focus on selling value-added consulting services.
During the first quarter of 2004, revenues from our products for Microsoft-based platforms totaled $10.1 million, an increase of 15.7 percent over 2003. Revenues from these products accounted for approximately 68 percent of
11
total revenues in the first quarter of 2004, up from 67 percent of total revenues for the first quarter of 2003. License revenues for our Microsoft-related products for the first quarter of 2004 were $5.1 million compared with $4.5 million in the first quarter of 2003. Maintenance revenues for our Microsoft-related products in the first quarter of 2004 were $5.0 million compared with $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2003. We expect revenues from our products and maintenance for Microsoft-based platforms will continue to grow as a percentage of total revenues.
Revenues from our products for Novell-based platforms for the first quarter of 2004 were $2.5 million, or 17 percent of total revenues, compared with $2.7 million in first quarter of 2003, or 21 percent of total revenues. Consistent with the trend seen in past quarters, total revenues from these products were down year-over-year, reflecting both the maturity and our penetration of the Novell market. License revenues for Novell-based platforms for the first quarter of 2004 were $0.6 million compared with $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2003. Maintenance revenues for Novell-based platforms in the first quarter of 2004 were $1.8 million compared with $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2003. While we expect our Novell revenues will continue to decline in the future, we expect the revenue decline will be modest relative to the declines over the past two years and expect the decline will be offset by higher revenues from our products and maintenance for other platforms.
Sales of our security focused bv-Control product line accounted for approximately 84 percent of our license revenue in the first quarter of 2004 compared with 78 percent in the first quarter of 2003. Sales of our system administration focused bv-Admin product line accounted for approximately 16 percent of our license revenue in the first quarter of 2004 compared with 22 percent in the first quarter of 2003.
No customer accounted for more than 10 percent of our revenues during the first quarter of 2004 or 2003. Revenues recognized from sales to customers outside North America, primarily in Europe, accounted for approximately 10 percent of total revenues in the first quarter of 2004 compared with 9 percent in the first quarter of 2003.
Gross Profit.Gross profit for the current quarter totaled $12.9 million, up 12 percent from the first quarter of 2003, due to the increase in revenues. Gross margin for the current quarter was 86.7 percent, down from 88.1 percent in the first quarter of 2003. The decline in gross margin related to the increase in professional services revenues, which have a lower gross margin than the Company’s license and maintenance revenues.
Gross profit generated from license revenue for the first quarter of 2004 was $5.8 million, compared with $5.1 million for the first quarter of 2003. The gross margin from license revenue for the first quarter of 2004 was 97.6 percent, compared with 97.8 percent for the first quarter of 2003.
Gross profit from services revenue for the first quarter of 2004 was $7.1 million, compared with $6.4 million for the first quarter of 2003. Gross margin from services revenue for the first quarter of 2004 was 79.5 percent compared with 81.8 percent for the first quarter of 2003. The decline in gross margin reflected higher personnel costs associated with our technical-support and professional-services units. While we do not track and measure costs of performing services (technical support, professional services) by product platform (i.e., Microsoft, Novell, etc), we do not believe there is a material difference in the gross margin by product line.
Operating Costs and Expenses.Operating costs and expenses for the first quarter of 2004 totaled $15.7 million, up from $14.3 million for the first quarter of 2003, which included a restructuring charge of $0.5 million. Excluding the $0.5 million charge in the first quarter of 2003, operating costs and expenses were approximately $1.9 million, or 13.7 percent, higher in the first quarter of 2004 due to significant investments in sales and marketing since the first quarter of 2003, costs related to our planned expansion of our R&D operations in India, higher wage and health care costs and expenses associated with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.
Sales and marketing expenses for the first quarter of 2004 were $9.2 million (61.9 percent of revenues), up from $7.8 million (59.5 percent of revenues) for the first quarter of 2003. The increase in sales and marketing expenses primarily related to investments in areas where we see long-term growth opportunities, specifically our Federal, Latin American and European operations. We also added personnel to our inside sales force and increased spending on marketing programs to grow our working sales pipeline. We expect sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenues to be lower in the second quarter of 2004 as a result of anticipated revenue growth.
12
Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2004 were $4.6 million (30.9 percent of revenues), up from $4.2 million (32.5 percent of revenues) for the first quarter of 2003. This increase primarily related to our actions taken to affect the planned expansion of our R&D operations in India to better execute on our product strategy, as well as increased personnel costs in our Houston location. Primarily as a result of the expansion in India, we expect R&D expenses in 2004 will be up $2.0 to $2.5 million over 2003. Approximately $1.0 million of this increase relates to one-time expenses; we therefore expect R&D expenses in 2005 will be below the expense level for 2004. We also expect that this initiative coupled with anticipated revenue growth will result in a decrease in research and development expenses as a percentage of revenues.
General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2004 were $1.9 million (12.8 percent of revenues), up from $1.8 million (13.6 percent of revenues) for the first quarter of 2003. We expect future general and administrative expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenues as a result of our restructuring initiatives to date to improve operating efficiencies, as well as anticipated revenue growth.
In January 2003, we approved a sales and marketing reorganization plan (the “2003 Restructuring Plan”). The cost of this plan totaled approximately $0.5 million and consisted primarily of (i) involuntary employee separation for approximately 20 employees (a reduction in workforce of approximately 4 percent), (ii) closing our Netherlands sales office, and (iii) reserves for leasehold abandonment. All actions under the 2003 Restructuring Plan were completed by December 31, 2003. The 2003 Restructuring Plan resulted in an estimated reduction in annual operating expenses of approximately $1.4 million.
In July 2002, we approved a restructuring plan to improve operating efficiency and improve sales and marketing productivity (the “2002 Restructuring Plan”). The cost of this plan totaled approximately $1.9 million and consisted primarily of (i) involuntary employee separation for approximately 30 employees (a reduction in workforce of approximately 5 percent), (ii) closing our Boston development center and certain European sales offices, (iii) reserves for leasehold abandonment, and (iv) various non-personnel related cuts.
The 2002 Restructuring Plan activity from December 31, 2003 to March 31, 2004 was as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | REMAINING | | | | | | REMAINING |

|
Lease commitments | | $ | 1,538 | | | $ | (128 | ) | | $ | 1,410 | |
The remaining accrual for the 2002 Restructuring Plan at March 31, 2004 is comprised of the estimated carrying costs for our remaining excess space in Houston, Texas. Adjustments to this balance could be required in future periods based on the economic outlook of the real estate market in Houston, Texas. The 2002 Restructuring Plan resulted in an estimated reduction in annual operating expenses of approximately $2.9 million.
In 2001, we completed a corporate reorganization and implemented a number of cost-cutting measures to improve operating efficiency and to accelerate our return to profitability (the “2001 Restructuring Plan”). The cost of this plan totaled approximately $6.6 million and consisted primarily of: (i) involuntary employee separation expenses for approximately 160 employees (a reduction in workforce of approximately 21 percent), (ii) downsizing or closing of our Boston and Arlington development centers and certain of our European sales offices, (iii) reserves for leasehold abandonment, and (iv) various non-personnel related costs. The restructuring costs included a $1.2 million charge related to asset impairments of leasehold improvements, equipment and other assets of the closed or downsized offices.
The 2001 Restructuring Plan activity from December 31, 2003 to March 31, 2004 was as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | REMAINING | | | | | | REMAINING |

|

13
The remaining accrual for the 2001 Restructuring Plan consists of excess carrying costs until the lease cancellation for our two floors abandoned as part of said Plan is effective in September of 2004. The 2001 Restructuring Plan resulted in an estimated reduction in annual operating expenses of approximately $11.8 million.
Provision for Income Taxes.We did not record an income tax provision for our domestic operations in either the first quarter of 2004 or 2003, as we continue to provide a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. As in our prior assessments, we considered current and previous performance and other relevant factors in determining the sufficiency of our valuation allowance. Objective factors, such as current and previous operating losses, were given substantially more weight than our outlook for future profitability. Until such time as a consistent pattern of sufficient profitability is established, no tax benefit will be recognized associated with the Company’s pre-tax accounting losses and a full income tax provision will not be provided on any future pre-tax accounting income. A provision of $0.1 million was recorded for taxes related to our foreign operations during the first quarter of 2004.
Net Loss.Due to the factors described above, net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 was $2.8 million compared with $2.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our capital requirements have principally related to working capital needs and capital expenditures. These requirements have been met through a combination of issuances of securities and internally generated funds.
We had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $39.2 million at March 31, 2004 compared with $35.4 million at December 31, 2003. Our working capital has decreased approximately $1.2 million since December 31, 2003 to $27.3 million at March 31, 2004 primarily due to an increase in our deferred revenues and the effects of accruals for incentive based compensation. At March 31, 2004, we had no outstanding debt.
Cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities were $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2004 compared with $(0.5) million in the first quarter of 2003. The increase in cash provided by operating activities in 2004 was primarily the result of an increase in our cash collections on accounts receivables of approximately $3.1 million over the first quarter of 2003.
Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities were $(0.1) million in the first quarter of 2004 compared with $(0.3) million in the first quarter of 2003. The increase in cash generated from investing activities was the result of (i) a $0.3 million reimbursement received from our landlord for tenant improvements during the first quarter of 2004 and (ii) a $0.1 million reduction in capital expenditures. This increase was partially offset by a $0.2 million cash deposit made to a financial institution in order to issue performance guaranties.
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2004 compared with $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2003. Cash provided by financing activities during the first quarter of 2004 was the result of (i) $0.7 million in cash provided by the issuance of common stock for employee stock options and (ii) $0.3 million in cash provided by the issuance of common stock under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Cash provided by financing activities during the first quarter of 2003 was primarily attributable to cash provided by the issuance of common stock under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
We conduct operations in leased facilities under operating leases expiring at various dates through 2011. The contractual obligations under these lease commitments were comprised of the following as of March 31, 2004 (in thousands):

* We have sub-leased portions of these facilities under operating leases. Anticipated cash receipts from these executed sub-lease arrangements have been taken into account when deriving expected cash outflow on operating lease commitments in the preceding table.
Our expected principal cash requirements for the remainder of 2004 are: (i) capital expenditures between $2.3 and $2.7 million, primarily for computer and software equipment, (ii) working capital requirements, (iii) net payments on operating leases of approximately $3.4 million, and (iv) stock repurchases up to $2.5 million. We believe there is sufficient cash on hand to meet these cash requirements, as well as our cash requirements for the foreseeable future.
Stock Repurchase Program
In May 2004, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program for the second quarter of 2004. Under this program, management may, at its discretion, spend up to $2.5 million for the repurchase of our common stock in the open market, subject to Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines and restrictions set forth in Rule 10b-18.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes since December 31, 2003. See the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, Amendment No. 1.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The management of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of March 31, 2004 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that all material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, required to be filed in this quarterly report have been made known to them in a timely manner. However, as more fully described below in “Revenue Recognition Issues in BindView’s Latin American Operations”, management later determined that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2004, because the Company had a material weakness in revenue reporting for its Latin American operations.
There have been no significant changes made during the period covered by this Report in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls over financial reporting. As discussed below, however, we have implemented additional measures to improve our internal controls over financial reporting. These measures took effect after the period covered by this report.
Revenue Recognition Issues in BindView’s Latin American Operations
In October 2004, as a result of information obtained by the Company in its efforts to collect certain receivables from Latin American resellers, the Company’s Audit Committee commenced an investigation of the Company’s Latin American operations. The Audit Committee retained independent legal counsel and consultants to assist with the investigation. On December 6, 2004, with the investigation substantially complete, the Audit Committee concluded that due to errors with the transactions described below, the Company would restate its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the first two quarters of 2004, and also concluded that previously issued financial statements for those periods should no longer be relied upon. These conclusions were set forth in the Form 8-K dated December 6, 2004, and were also discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee investigation was completed on December 8, 2004.

The Company’s previously issued financial statements for the periods referenced above have been restated to correct for an overstatement of approximately $1.0 million in revenues, involving six transactions in Latin America. As a result, the Company’s reported revenues were overstated by $173,000 in the fourth quarter of 2003; $131,000 in the first quarter of 2004; and $698,000 in the second quarter of 2004.
Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2003 were overstated by $173,000 related to a product return, which certain Company personnel in Latin America knew to have occurred within the contractually allowable return period, but which they did not report to the Company’s accounting department. If this return had been reported in a timely manner to the Company’s accounting department, revenues from this transaction would not have been recognized in the fourth quarter of 2003. Certain personnel in Latin America who knew of the product return also made inaccurate representations as to the status of the receivable in response to the on-going collection efforts of the Company’s accounting department.
Revenues for the first quarter of 2004 were overstated by $131,000. This was comprised of (i) two separate transactions with a single reseller and an end-user customer for which professional services revenues were overstated by $122,000; and (ii) maintenance revenue of $9,000 on the fourth quarter 2003 transaction referred to above. The overstatement of professional services revenues resulted from the recording of revenues based on invalid contracts and statements of work that had been submitted to the Company’s accounting department by certain personnel in Latin America. These documents, certain of which the Company believes were falsified prior to being submitted to its accounting department, purported to show that the Company had entered into an arrangement with a subsidiary of the reseller to provide services to the end-user customer on behalf of the Company.
Revenues for the second quarter of 2004 were overstated by $698,000, resulting from the recording of three transactions based on invalid documents that had been submitted to the Company’s accounting department by certain personnel in its Latin American operations. These documents, certain of which the Company believes were falsified prior to being submitted to its accounting department, included contracts and professional services statements of work and time sheets that purported to show that valid arrangements supporting the underlying transactions had been entered into with third parties. Certain personnel in Latin America also made inaccurate representations as to status of these receivables in response to the on-going collection efforts of the Company’s accounting department.
Individuals who the Company believes were culpably involved in these transactions are no longer employed by the Company. The Company has terminated relationships with resellers that it believes may have been culpably involved in these transactions.
As a result of the investigation into the above matters, the Company has determined that it has a “material weakness” with respect to the reporting of revenues from its Latin American operations. In addition to the actions taken with respect to personnel and resellers, as mentioned above, the Company has also designed and implemented new procedures to improve controls to better ensure that revenues are recognized only on transactions that are based on valid arrangements, which meet the Company’s revenue recognition criteria. The significant enhancements to our procedures and controls that have been implemented include:
| • | | We will obtain signed written representations from each sales and professional services representative, manager, director and vice president prior to finalizing results for a quarterly or annual period and prior to payment of sales commissions or any incentive-based compensation for that period. Generally speaking, these representations state that to the best of the individual’s knowledge, (i) he or she has complied with the Company’s Code of Conduct, (ii) the documentation supporting the sales transactions with which he or she was involved is valid, appropriately authorized and complete and (iii) no conditions to any sales transaction have been agreed to with the customer that have not been explicitly stated in the documentation supporting that sales transaction. |
|
| • | | In geographies where the Company has a limited operating history (e.g. Latin America or any other new geography the Company may enter), payment of commissions will be deferred until collection of accounts receivable has occurred. |
16
| • | | We are assigning non-sales personnel to communicate directly with foreign resellers and end-user customers regarding past due accounts receivable. |
|
| • | | We have made changes to our reporting structure to provide for more direct communication. These changes include sales operations now reports to our chief operating officer and the head of professional services now reports directly to non-sales management. |
|
| • | | We have implemented more extensive background and reference checks to be performed on all prospective employees. |
|
| • | | We have expanded the Company’s disclosure committee to include representations from a broader cross section of departments. |
|
| • | | We are implementing enhanced pre-close analytical review procedures to identify emerging changes in our business. |
By implementing its planned internal control improvements, the Company expects to remediate this “material weakness”. However, if the Company is unable to (i) demonstrate that its internal controls over financial reporting are designed appropriately and operating effectively for a sufficient period of time, (ii) assert that its internal controls over financial reporting are effective as of December 31, 2004, and (iii) complete its evaluation on a timely enough basis for its independent registered public accounting firm to complete their assessment of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting by the due date for the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company will have to report the material weakness in such Form 10-K.
