Forward Looking Statements Certain written and oral statements made by the Company may constitute “forward-looking statements” as defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements made in this report and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Generally, the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “will” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. All statements which address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future including statements relating to volume growth, share of sales and earnings per share growth and statements expressing general optimism about future operating results are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our Company’s historical experience and our present expectations or projections. As and when made, management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements since such statements speak only as of the date when made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The following are some of the factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the expected results described in or underlying the Company’s forward-looking statements: The Company has had a history of operating losses and may incur future losses; if the Company is unable to achieve profitability, the Company’s stock price will likely suffer and steps which the Company may take to reduce its expenditures or preserve its existing funds could harm its sales and financial results The Company believes that its future profitability will depend on its ability to effectively market existing and newly developed software products through a balanced multi-channel distribution network and on its ability to commercially launch its Web indexing initiative. The Company cannot assure that its costs to develop, introduce and promote enhanced or new products will not exceed its expectations, or that these products will generate revenues sufficient to offset these expenses. The Company has operated at a loss for each of the past three fiscal years. For the fiscal years ended January 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, the Company’s net losses were approximately $19.8 million, $18.1 million, and $29.1 million, respectively. These losses include the Company’s expenditures associated with selling software products and further developing software products during these years. The Company plans to continue to invest in these programs and, accordingly, it cannot assure that its operating losses will not continue in the future. Continued losses could reduce the Company’s liquidity andnegatively affect its stock price. As of April 30, 2005, the Company’s balances of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were approximately $21.8 million. The Company believes its current balance of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, combined with any funds generated from its operations and available from credit facilities will be sufficient to fund its operations for at least the next twelve months based upon its estimates of funds required to operate its business during such period. However, if, at any point, due to continued losses, the Company ceases to have sufficient funds to continue its operations, it would need to decrease its expenditures including those associated with the Web indexing initiative. As a result of any decrease in expenditures, the Company may need to terminate employees,curtail research and development programs and take other steps to reduce the amount of funds it expends in its operations. This could have a negative effect on the Company’s ability to develop product improvements or new products that will achieve market acceptance. This could in turn, have a negative impact on the Company’s sales and financial results. The Company experiences quarterly fluctuations in its operating results, which may adversely affect its stock price; for example, the Company’s total revenues for the last four quarters were $5.1 million, $6.1 million, 6.3 million, $5.1 million respectively, and the price per share of its common stock during those quarters ranged from $2.16 to $6.06. The Company’s quarterly operating results have varied substantially in the past and are likely to continue to vary substantially from quarter to quarter in the future, due to a variety of factors including the following: |
