INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Aprisma Holdings, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Aprisma Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (formerly GTG Acquisition Corp.) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2002 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated July 30, 2003, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

APRISMA HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004, 2003 AND 2002
1. | OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
| Description of Business—Aprisma Holdings, Inc., formerly GTG Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, was formed on January 5, 1999 with no substantial operations until August 9, 2002 when it purchased Aprisma Management Technologies, Inc. (“Aprisma”). Aprisma, which includes international subsidiaries in the UK, Canada, Germany, Malaysia and Australia, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and was the sole subsidiary of the Company as of December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002. Aprisma is a provider of service assurance software that enables enterprises and service providers to ensure high levels of information technology infrastructure availability and performance to end users who rely upon their infrastructure for mission-critical business applications. Aprisma’s software, the SPECTRUM® suite, is designed to enable customers to monitor, analyze and repair large, complex information technology infrastructures in real-time, allowing them to quickly identify and remedy infrastructure performance and availability problems. |
|
| Aprisma’s primary vertical markets include financial services, government, healthcare, manufacturing and telecommunication/service providers. Aprisma targets both enterprise and service provider markets. Aprisma licenses its software primarily to large enterprises and service providers who rely upon sophisticated information technology infrastructures for their core business processes. Aprisma markets and sells software worldwide primarily through a direct sales force, as well as through distributors, system integrators and consultants. |
|
| The Company has one reportable segment, which has one product group. This segment structure was determined based upon how management views and evaluates the Company’s operations. |
|
| Principles of Consolidation—The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Aprisma, as well as Aprisma’s wholly owned international subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As discussed in Note 2, on March 31, 2003, the Company acquired all of the common stock of Resonate, Inc. (“Resonate”). On September 24, 2003, the Company sold all of its interest in Resonate. The operations of Resonate have been reflected as a discontinued operation in these consolidated financial statements. |
|
| Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature are based on judgment and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates used in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements relate to the determination of the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities, estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, and reserves for allowance of doubtful accounts. |
|
| Cash and Cash Equivalents—At December 31, 2004 and 2003, substantially all of the Company’s cash was held in demand deposit accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with remaining maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. |
-6-
| Financial Instruments—The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and debt. The carrying values of the cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt approximate their fair values primarily due to their short-term nature. |
|
| Concentration of Credit Risk—Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, are principally cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. One customer accounted for 16% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2004; no other customer accounted for more than 10% of total accounts receivable at December 31, 2004 and 2003. |
|
| The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet risk for accounting loss, such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts, or other foreign hedging arrangements. |
|
| The Company maintains the majority of its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions in the form of demand deposits. Such deposit accounts are insured against theft by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the cash on hand at one financial institution exceeded the FDIC limit by approximately $2,866,000 and $2,146,000, respectively. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts. |
|
| Short-term Investments—Short term investments consist primarily of US Treasury debt securities held to maturity and stated at cost. Fair market value approximates cost. |
|
| Restricted Cash—At December 31, 2004 and 2003, restricted cash was $525,000 and $584,000 respectively, which represents letters of credit held in favor of the lessor for certain properties the Company leases. At the conclusion of the leases, the restricted cash will be returned to the original lessee, Enterasys. |
|
| Revenue Recognition—Aprisma generates revenue from licensing its software and providing professional services, training and maintenance. Software license and resold third-party software license revenue is recognized in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants” Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 97-2,Software Revenue Recognition,as modified by SOP No. 98-9, Modification of SOP No. 97-2,Software Revenue Recognition, with Respect to Certain Transactions. |
|
| Software license revenue is recognized upon delivery of the software provided that the customer has executed a contractual arrangement that contains a fixed and determinable fee which management believes is collectible. If the contractual arrangement contains significant implementation or customization services, recognition is delayed until these services have been completed. License arrangements generally do not include acceptance provisions. However, if an arrangement includes an acceptance provision, revenue is recognized upon the earlier of receipt of a written customer acceptance or expiration of the customer acceptance period. |
|
| Maintenance services generally include rights to unspecified upgrades (when and if available), telephone support, updates, and bug fixes. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract on a straight-line basis when all of the revenue recognition requirements are met. Maintenance revenue is derived from customer support agreements generally entered into in connection with initial license sales and subsequent renewals. |
-7-
| Software arrangements may include professional services sold separately under consulting engagement contracts that generally include implementation. These services may be provided completely or partially by independent third-parties experienced in providing such consulting and implementation in coordination with dedicated customer personnel. Revenue from these arrangements is generally accounted for separately from the license revenue because it meets the criteria for separate accounting. |
|
| Professional services revenue is generally recognized as the services are performed. Professional services revenue for fixed-priced contracts is recognized using the completed-contract method. If there is a significant uncertainty about the project completion or receipt of payment for the consulting services, revenue is deferred until the uncertainty is resolved. Service revenue, such as training, is recognized as the services are performed. |
|
| Aprisma uses the residual method when fair value does not exist for one of the delivered elements in an arrangement. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and subsequently recognized when the services are performed. Aprisma has established sufficient vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value for professional services, training and maintenance services based upon the price charged when these elements are sold separately. In some cases, Aprisma executes some separate agreements that govern the terms and conditions of purchase software license, maintenance arrangements, and professional services arrangements. If these contracts are an element in a multiple element arrangement, which may include several different software products or services sold together, revenue is allocated to each element using the residual method. |
|
| Aprisma recognizes revenue from software subscription arrangements ratably over the term of the contract on a straight-line basis. A portion of all software subscription fees is allocated to maintenance revenue at a rate consistent with the Aprisma’s established rate for determining maintenance fees. |
|
| Cost of Revenue—Cost of revenue includes direct costs to manufacture and distribute product, royalties for third-party product and the direct costs of providing consulting, product support, and training. |
|
| Deferred Revenue—Deferred revenue primarily consists of maintenance contracts, where revenue is recognized over the contract period. For all software license transactions in which there are significant outstanding obligations, the associated revenue is deferred and recognized as such obligations are fulfilled. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, amounts included in deferred revenue that are also included in accounts receivable totaled $6,145,000 and $6,197,000, respectively. |
|
| Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts—Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company establishes reserves against accounts receivable for potential credit losses when it is determined that receivables are at risk for collection, based on the length of time the receivables are outstanding, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Account balances are charged-off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. |

| Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets—Goodwill represents the excess of total purchase price over the fair value of the assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment. In 2003, the Company recorded post-acquisition purchase price adjustments resulting in a decrease in goodwill of approximately $673,000 relating to acquisition liabilities recorded in the purchase of Aprisma that were deemed to have been unnecessary and were therefore released. In 2004, the Company increased goodwill by $35,000 reflecting the foreign currency translation effects of goodwill related to foreign subsidiaries. |
|
| Intangible assets, principally patents and customer lists, consisted of the following as of December 31 (in thousands): |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | Net | |
| | | | | | | Accumulated | | | Carrying | |
| | | Cost | | | Amortization | | | Amount | |
| 2004 | | $ | 14,057 | | | $ | 4,205 | | | $ | 9,852 | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
| 2003 | | $ | 14,057 | | | $ | 2,444 | | | $ | 11,613 | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
| Amortization of intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 was $1,761,000, $1,759,000, and $685,000, respectively. The Company expects to record estimated amortization expense of $1,757,000 for each of the next five years. |
|
| Impairment of Long-Lived Assets—The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet. |
|
| The Company performs an impairment test on goodwill on an annual basis or on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred. The Company determines impairment by comparing the fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit. Fair value of the reporting unit is based on discounted future cash flows using a discount rate reflecting the Company’s average cost of funds. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. The Company completed its annual impairment test in the third quarter of 2004 and 2003 and determined that the fair value of the Company’s assets exceeded the carrying amount and therefore the Company did not record an impairment loss. |
-9-
| Research and Development and Software Development Costs—All research and development expenses are charged to operations in the period incurred. The Company evaluates the establishment of technological feasibility of various products during the development phase. Due to the dynamic changes in the market, the Company concluded that technological feasibility is not established until the development phase of the project is nearly complete. The time period during which costs could be capitalized from the point of reaching technological feasibility until the time of general product release is very short and, consequently, the amounts that could be capitalized are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. |
|
| Advertising Costs—Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were not material for the years presented. |
|
| Foreign Currency Translation—Assets and liabilities of the foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates, and income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Unrealized gains and losses arising from translation are accumulated as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in other comprehensive income (loss) and realized transaction gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are included in other income/expense. |
|
| Property and Equipment—Property and equipment are stated at cost or estimated value upon acquisition and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the life of the lease for leasehold improvements, whichever is less. Maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred; additions and improvements that extend the life of the assets are capitalized. Upon retirement or disposition, the cost and accumulated depreciation of the assets are removed from the accounts, with any resulting gain or loss included in current operations. The estimated useful lives by asset class are as follows: |
| | | |
| Asset Classification | | Estimated Useful Lives |
| Computer equipment and software | | 3 years |
| Furniture and fixtures | | 10 years |
| Leasehold improvements | | Shorter of initial lease term or useful life |
| Other Assets—Other assets consist of $324,000 of debt issuance costs which were amortized over a two year period, using the straight-line method, which is not materially different from the effective-interest-rate method. During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, amortization expense was $139,000, $139,000, and $27,000, respectively. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, accumulated amortization was $324,000 and $185,000, respectively. |
|
| Income Taxes—Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company provides a valuation allowance to the extent that management believes net deferred tax assets amounts may not be realized in the future. |

2. | ACCOUNTING FOR BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS |
|
| Acquisition of Aprisma—On August 9, 2002, Aprisma, which was a wholly owned subsidiary of Enterasys Networks, Inc. (Enterasys), was purchased by the Company. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The aggregate purchase price, excluding assumed liabilities, was $10.0 million of which $8,349,122 was paid in cash on the purchase date and $650,878 was paid by the Company on behalf of Enterasys for severance obligations. The remaining $1.0 million of the purchase price was subject to a holdback arrangement, which provided for the $1.0 million holdback to be payable 15 months from the date of acquisition. The $1.0 million holdback provision was recorded as a note payable in 2002. During October 2004, the Company reached an agreement with Enterasys to settle various issues related to the acquisition of Aprisma including the $1.0 million holdback note which resulted in the Company recording a purchase price adjustment of $507,000. The reduction in purchase price has been recorded in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 as other income. |
|
| Allocation of the purchase price for the acquisition of Aprisma in 2002 was based on the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These allocations were as follows (in thousands): |
| | | | | |
| Current assets | | $ | 7,283 | |
| Property and equipment | | | 7,152 | |
| Intangible assets (1) | | | 14,057 | |
| Goodwill | | | 4,824 | |
| Other assets | | | 918 | |
| | | | |
| Total assets acquired | | | 34,234 | |
| Current liabilities (2) | | | 23,639 | |
| Other long-term liabilities | | | 595 | |
| | | | |
| Total liabilities assumed | | | 24,234 | |
| | | | |
| Net assets acquired | | $ | 10,000 | |
| | | | |
(1) | | Identifiable intangible assets consisted of two primary categories: patents and customer lists. These intangible assets are integral to the Company’s business operations and are expected to generate revenue and cash flow on an ongoing basis. The average remaining life of the Company’s patents as of August 9, 2002 was 12 years, but because of rapid changes in technology which is inherent in the software industry the Company estimates an eight-year horizon for which to amortize the patent portion of the Company’s identifiable intangible asset. While the Company believes that its customer list (and concomitant customer base) is stable, it does not believe that it is prudent to amortize the customer list beyond the period for which the patented technology is to be amortized—therefore, the Company used an eight-year horizon for which to amortize the customer list portion of the Company’s identifiable intangible asset. The discount rate used to value the Company’s future cash flows was 22% which takes into account the Company’s highest interest rate paid on its debt for the period, 7.25%, and added a risk factor of 14.75% which the Company believed is necessary to reflect the volatile nature of high technology business cycles along with the inherent risk of increased competition. |
-11-
(2) | | Included in liabilities is the acquired value of deferred revenue which reflects the estimated cost to provide contractual obligations plus a normal profit margin. As a result, the acquired deferred revenue balance was reduced by approximately $4.6 million at the acquisition date. This purchase accounting adjustment resulted in a $4.0 million reduction in 2002 maintenance revenue and $555,000 in 2003 and $59,000 in 2004. Also included in liabilities in the above table is $4,149,000 of restructuring charges related to exiting excess lease space as discussed in Note 8. |
| Acquisition of Resonate—On March 31, 2003, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Resonate for approximately $53.7 million. The purchase price was comprised of a $53.2 million distribution of Resonate’s cash acquired in connection with the acquisition to buy-out the existing shareholders and $0.5 million of cash to cancel outstanding stock options. |
|
| Pursuant to SFAS No. 141, as the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the purchase price, the Company recorded negative goodwill of approximately $1.04 million. The valuation of Resonate’s assets and assumed liabilities were based on market values at the date of acquisition and after the purchase price was allocated to the tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the difference was recorded as an extraordinary gain in the statement of operations which is included in discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. |
|
| The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at March 30, 2003 (in thousands): |
| | | | | |
| Current assets | | $ | 61,768 | |
| Property, plant and equipment | | | 303 | |
| | | | |
| Total assets acquired | | | 62,071 | |
| Current liabilities assumed | | | 7,297 | |
| Negative goodwill | | | 1,039 | |
| | | | |
| Net assets acquired | | $ | 53,735 | |
| | | | |
| Soon after the acquisition, management decided to dispose of the operations of Resonate. Therefore, pursuant to SFAS No. 144, Resonate was classified as held-for-sale during the period of ownership. |
|
| Sale of Resonate, Inc—Discontinued Operation—On September 24, 2003, the Company sold Resonate to Cay Holding, Inc. for $1. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company retained all trade accounts receivable balances outstanding more than 90 days and placed $91,000 in an escrow account. The escrow account balance was paid to Cay Holding, Inc. in full prior to December 31, 2003. |

6. | FINANCING AGREEMENTS |
|
| Term Loan and Revolver Facility—The Company has a $9,000,000 term loan and $2,000,000 maximum revolver facility with a lender entered into October 14, 2002, amended July 29, 2003 and July 2, 2004 and which matures on October 10, 2005. Interest on the term loan is payable monthly based on the prime rate as announced by Wells Fargo Bank plus 3% (8.25% at December 31, 2004 and 7.25% at December 31, 2003 and 2002). Advances under the revolver facility are limited to 85% of eligible trade accounts receivable. Beginning in April 2003, the term loan is payable in monthly installments of $300,000 plus accrued interest. Any outstanding unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest under the term loan is due and payable at the maturity date. The term loan agreement contains financial covenants that must be met for the loan to stay in effect. Borrowings are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. There were $165,000 of bank fees paid to the lender at the time the term loan was obtained and these fees were capitalized as financing costs and are included in other noncurrent assets. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company’s term loan balance was $2,700,000 and $6,300,000, respectively. There were no advances outstanding under the revolver facility at December 31, 2004 and 2003. |
|
| Note Payable—Affiliate—Aprisma has a loan agreement with an affiliate of the ultimate parent which includes a term loan and a revolving loan (advances) facility. The interest rate on the loan agreement is 8%. The loan agreement with the affiliate is subordinate to the term loan agreement with the lender and the Company may not pay any of its outstanding obligations to the affiliate, without approval from the holder of the term loan, until indebtedness to the holder of the term loan has been paid in full. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company’s term loan balance payable to the affiliate, including accrued interest, was $2,199,000 and $2,031,000, respectively. |
|

| In April 2002, the Company abandoned its office in Greenwood Village, Colorado. At the time of abandonment of the space, the Company was obligated under the terms of the lease agreement for the minimum rental payments through the end of the lease term (June 30, 2005), and the Company had no foreseeable plans to occupy the building. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 95-3,Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination,and pursuant to the acquisition plan to restructure the Company, a liability of $412,380 was recorded at the date of acquisition to recognize the undiscounted value of the remaining minimum lease obligations. In 2004, the Company reached a settlement agreement with the landlord whereby the Company paid $210,000 in consideration for early termination of the lease, which resulted in a reversal of the remaining accrual of $189,469. |
|
| In May 2002, the Company abandoned its office in New South Wales, Australia. While the Company remains obligated under the terms of the lease agreement for the minimum rental payments through the end of the lease term (March 31, 2005), the Company had no foreseeable plans to occupy the building. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 95-3 and pursuant to the acquisition plan to restructure the Company, a liability of $153,216 was recorded at the date of acquisition to recognize the undiscounted value of the remaining minimum lease obligations. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company made two additional rental payments to the landlord of $9,568. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the landlord redeemed a stand-by letter of credit issued by the Company as security on the lease for $35,189. At December 31 2004 and 2003, there was $108,459 remaining in the restructuring accrual related to this facility. |
|
| At August 9, 2002, the Company’s office in Herndon, Virginia was at approximately 23% capacity. While the Company remains obligated under the terms of the lease agreement for the full amount of minimum rental payments through the end of the lease term (July 31, 2008), the Company had no foreseeable plans to fully occupy the building.
