NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 1 GENERAL
In management's opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements for HNC Software Inc. (the "Company") for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and
include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) that the
Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position,
results of operations, and cash flows for such periods. However, the
accompanying financial statements do not contain all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. All such financial statements are unaudited except the
December 31, 1996 balance sheet. This report and the accompanying unaudited and
audited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
audited financial statements and notes thereto presented in its Annual Report
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. Footnotes which would substantially
duplicate the disclosures in the Company's audited financial statements for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 contained in the 1996 Annual Report have
been omitted. The interim financial information contained herein is not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim
period or for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 1997.
Note 2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements and related notes give retroactive
effect tot he mergers on August 30, 1996 with Risk Data Corporation and on
November 29, 1996 with Retek Distribution Corporation, for all periods
presented, accounted for as poolings of interests.
Note 3 PENDING ACQUISITION
On July 15, 1997, the Company announced that it had signed a definitive
agreement to acquire CompReview, Inc. ("CompReview"). CompReview develops and
markets integrated payment system and medical bill review software products and
services that are used primarily by insurance carriers, managed care companies,
state funds, large corporate self insurers, and third-party administrators
("TPA's") who pay or administer workers' compensation and personal injury
insurance claims. This transaction has not yet been consummated and remains
subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including approval of the
Company's stockholders, clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act, and qualification of the transaction
6
7
for "pooling of interests" accounting treatment. Under the current terms of the
pending transaction, the consideration payable by the Company to acquire all of
CompReview's stock would consist of an aggregate total of approximately
5,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. HNC stock options will be issued
in exchange for outstanding CompReview stock options.
Note 4 LINE OF CREDIT
During July 1997, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement
with Wells Fargo Bank to provide for a $15 million unsecured revolving line of
credit through July 11, 1999. The line of credit bears interest at the bank's
prime rate or LIBOR plus 1.5% and requires an annual $5,000 commitment fee. The
agreement requires that the Company maintain certain financial ratios and levels
of working capital, tangible net worth and profitability, and also restricts the
Company's ability to pay cash dividends, make loans, advances or investments
without the bank's consent.
Note 5 NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128 ("FAS128"), "Earnings Per
Share," which the Company will adopt as required for all periods ending after
December 15, 1997. Pursuant to this Statement, companies will replace the
reporting of "primary" earnings per share ("EPS") with "basic" EPS. Basic EPS is
calculated by dividing the income available to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, not
including potential common stock. "Fully diluted" EPS will be replaced by
"diluted" EPS. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to fully diluted EPS under the
provisions of APB Opinion No. 15.
The pro forma effect of the adoption of FAS128 is as follows:
THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED
------------------ ----------------
6/30/97 6/30/96 6/30/97 6/30/96
------- ------- ------- -------
Basic earnings (loss) per share $0.13 $0.02 $0.24 $(0.02)
Diluted earnings (loss) per share $0.12 $0.02 $0.23 $(0.02)
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 ("FAS130"), "Reporting Comprehensive
Income." The Company will adopt FAS130 as required for all periods beginning
after December 15, 1997. This statement establishes standards for reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components in financial statements.
Comprehensive income is defined as "the change in equity (net assets) of a
business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and
circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a
period except those resulting from
7
8
investments by owners and distributions to owners." The Company is currently
evaluating the impact that the adoption of FAS130 will have on its financial
statements.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("FAS131"), "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." The Company will adopt
FAS131 as required for all periods beginning after December 15, 1997, commencing
with its annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998. This
statement requires the disclosure of certain information about operating
segments in the financial statements. It also requires that public business
enterprises report certain information about their products and services, the
geographic areas in which they operate, and their major customers. The Company
is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FAS131 will have on its
financial statements.
Note 6 LEASES
On May 30, 1997, the Company's Retek subsidiary entered into a new lease
for approximately 42,226 square feet in which to locate its Minneapolis
headquarters. This facility will be leased to Retek through the year 2004 with
an option to extend the lease for two additional periods of five years each.
Note 7 RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the
current period presentation.

Item 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: NO ASSURANCES INTENDED
This Item 2 contains certain forward-looking statements regarding the
Company, its business, prospects and results of operations that are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties posed by many factors and events that could
cause the Company's actual business, prospects and results of operations to
differ materially from those that may be anticipated by such forward-looking
statements. Factors that may affect such forward-looking statements include,
without limitation: the Company's ability to successfully develop new products
for both new markets and markets currently served by the Company; the Company's
ability to successfully market its products to international customers; customer
acceptance of new products; the Company's loss of a large customer or key
personnel; the Company's acquisition of (or failure to acquire) other
businesses; the Company's ability to manage growth and to successfully integrate
acquired businesses; the impact of competition (including competition from
customers' internal development staffs) on the Company's revenues, market share
or ability to maintain its premium usage-based pricing terms and to generate
recurring revenue from certain products; the availability to the Company, at
reasonable cost, of data required to operate or update its intelligent decision
software products; changes in law or regulatory requirements that adversely
affect or preclude customers from using the Company's products for certain
applications; the Company's inability to secure new government contracts for
technology development; delays in the Company's introduction of new products;
and failure by the Company to keep pace with emerging technologies. Accordingly,
no assurances can be given that events or results mentioned in any such
forward-looking statements will in fact occur.
When used in this discussion, words such as "believes", "anticipates",
"expects", "intends" and similar expressions related to future events are
intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means
of identifying forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the
date of this report. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise any
forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances that may
subsequently arise. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the
various disclosures made by the Company in this report and in the Company's
other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company's quarterly revenues and operating results have varied
significantly in the past and may do so in the future. Although to date a
significant portion of the Company's revenues has come from monthly usage fees
under long-term contracts, there can be no assurance that the Company will
continue to realize such
9
10
recurring revenues or that customers under such contracts would not seek to
cancel such contracts if the Company's products were not competitive or did not
achieve effective results. A significant portion of the Company's business has
been derived from substantial orders placed by large organizations, and the
timing of such orders has caused material fluctuations in the Company's
operating results. In addition, because the Company provides certain of its
products to customers under perpetual licenses with no significant continuing
obligations for which collection of the related receivable is probable, it
recognizes the majority of its revenue upon the delivery of the software and
acceptance by the customer. Thus, revenues derived by the Company may be more
likely to be recognized in irregular patterns that may result in quarterly
variations in the Company's revenues.
The Company's expense levels are based in part on its expectations
regarding future revenues and in the short term are fixed to a large extent.
Therefore, the Company may be unable to adjust its spending in a timely manner
to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. As a result, if anticipated
revenues in any quarter do not occur or are delayed, the Company's operating
results for the quarter would be disproportionately affected. Operating results
also may fluctuate due to factors such as the demand for the Company's products,
product life cycles, the introduction and acceptance of new products and product
enhancements by the Company or its competitors, changes in the mix of
distribution channels through which the Company's products are offered, changes
in the level of operating expenses, customer order deferrals in anticipation of
new products, competitive conditions in the industry and economic conditions
generally or in various industry segments.
The Company expects quarterly fluctuations to continue for the
foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company believes that period-to-period
comparisons of its financial results should not be relied upon as an indication
of the Company's future performance. No assurance can be given that the Company
will be able to achieve or maintain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis
in the future. Due to all of the foregoing factors, it is possible that in some
future quarter the Company's operating results will be below the expectations of
public market analysts and investors. In such event, the price of the Company's
Common Stock would likely be materially adversely affected.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996
REVENUES. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were $21.0
million, an increase of 67% over revenues of $12.6 million for the same period
in the prior year. This increase was due to greater license and maintenance
revenues, which were $17.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, an
increase of 105% from $8.3 million for the comparable quarter in 1996. The
Company's license and maintenance revenues are derived from periodic recurring
license fees, perpetual license fees and maintenance fees. This increase in
license and maintenance revenues was due primarily to the growth of license fee
revenues from products of recently acquired companies,
10
11
including the Retek Merchandising System, which provides management solutions
for retailers, and PMAdvisor, a product developed by the Company's Risk Data
subsidiary that automates the comparison of therapy treatments against clinical
guidelines. Other products contributing to the increase in license and
maintenance revenues were Capstone, which processes credit card applications,
ProfitMax, which detects fraud in credit card applications, and growth in
revenue from Falcon license fees.
Installation and implementation revenues for the quarter ended June 30,
1997 were $2.2 million, an increase of 80% as compared to installation and
implementation revenues of $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.
This increase was primarily due to new installations of ProfitMax and Capstone,
as these products moved from the development phase into production.
Contracts and other revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1997
were $1.8 million, a decrease of 41% as compared to $3.1 million for the same
period in the prior year. Contracts and other revenues are derived primarily
from development and consulting contracts with commercial customers and research
and development contracts with the United States Government. All revenues for
new product pilots (i.e., the first production installation of a product) are
also reported as contract and other revenues. The Company had a fewer number of
new product pilot installations in process during the quarter ended June 30,
1997 than during the quarter ended June 30, 1996, which accounted in part for
the decrease in contracts and other revenues during that quarter. Revenues from
contract services are generally recognized as the services are performed using
the percentage of completion method based on costs incurred to date compared to
total estimated costs at completion.
During 1996, the Company had a significant number of new product
development projects in process consisting of new product pilot installations,
most of which the Company began shipping in production versions in 1997. Any
significant delay in the completion of these or other new products, or the
failure of such products, if and when installed, to achieve any significant
market acceptance, would have a material adverse effect upon the Company's
business.
The Company's success depends upon its ability to successfully enter new
markets by developing new products for those markets on a timely and
cost-effective basis. The Company's products often require customer data to
develop the decision models and rules that comprise a product's decision engine
system installation. As a result, completion of new products may be delayed
while the Company extracts sufficient amounts of statistically relevant data and
develops the statistical models that form a product's core. During this
development process, the Company relies on its potential customers in the new
market to provide relevant industry data and to help train Company personnel in
the use, relevance and meaning of the data in the specific industry. These
relationships also assist the Company in establishing presence and credibility
in the new market. There can be no assurance the Company will succeed in
developing products that satisfy customers in new markets or that potential
customers and other companies, most of which have significantly greater
financial and marketing
11
12
resources than the Company, will not compete with the Company in the future or
will not otherwise discontinue their relationships with or support of the
Company, either during development of the Company's products or thereafter.
The Company's success is also dependent on its ability to develop
successful "follow on" products that are marketed to existing customers in
markets already served by the Company.
The sales cycle associated with the purchase of the Company's products
is typically lengthy and subject to a number of significant risks, including
customers' budgetary constraints and internal acceptance reviews, over which the
Company has little or no control.
The Company's success also depends upon its ability to maintain
competitive technologies, enhance its current products and develop new products
for varied markets in a timely and cost-effective manner that meets changing
market conditions, including evolving customer needs, new competitive product
offerings, emerging industry standards and changing technology.
LICENSE AND MAINTENANCE EXPENSES. License and maintenance expenses
primarily consist of the Company's expenses for personnel engaged in customer
support activities, costs of travel to customer sites and the costs of
documentation materials. License and maintenance expenses for the second quarter
of 1997 were $3.0 million and constituted 18% of license and maintenance
revenues for the quarter, whereas such expenses were $2.1 million and
represented 25% of license and maintenance revenues in the second quarter of
1996. The primary reason for the increase in these expenses in absolute dollars
was increased staffing and associated costs in client services to support the
increased volume of business. License and maintenance expenses represented a
lower percentage of license and maintenance revenues in the quarter ended June
30, 1997 than in the comparable quarter in the prior year. This increase in
gross margins was due to increased shipments of new products, including the
Retek Merchandising System, PMAdvisor, Capstone and ProfitMax, outpacing the
growth in costs. Consequently, the Company's margins may vary from quarter to
quarter depending upon, among other things, the relative mix of early adopter
priced product revenues versus full priced product revenues for the quarter.
INSTALLATION AND IMPLEMENTATION EXPENSES. Installation and
implementation expenses for the second quarter of 1997 were $1.3 million and 57%
of installation and implementation revenues, whereas such expenses were $597,000
and 49% of installation and implementation revenues during the second quarter of
1996. The primary reason for the increase in these expenses in absolute dollars
was increased staffing and associated costs to support the increased volume of
business. Installation and implementation expenses as a percent of installation
and implementation revenues increased during the quarter ended June 30, 1997 as
compared to the quarter ended
12
13
June 30, 1996. The decrease in gross margins was due in part to the fact that
the Company had a higher volume of early adopter transactions for the quarter
ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the same period of the prior year. Early
adopter installations typically yield lower margins due to price discounts given
to early adopter customers of new products.
CONTRACTS AND OTHER EXPENSES. Contracts and other expenses consist
primarily of personnel-related expenses associated with the Company's
performance of such contracts. Contracts and other expenses in the second
quarter of 1997 were $1.5 million or 81% of contracts and other revenues as
compared to $1.9 million or 64% of such revenues in the second quarter of 1996.
The increase in these expenses as a percent of revenues is due to the completion
of several higher margin commercial development contracts during the second
quarter of 1997. The remaining development contracts are primarily government
contacts and on-going model development projects, which typically yield lower
margins than commercial new product pilot contracts.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses in
the second quarter of 1997 were $4.8 million or 23% of total revenues compared
to $3.2 million or 26% of total revenues in the second quarter of the prior
year. The increase in these expenses in absolute dollars was due primarily to
increases in staffing and related costs to support increased product development
activities, primarily related to enhancements to Retek Merchandising, Retek Data
Warehouse, and Retek's ARI product, and to a lesser extent, CompCompare,
ProviderCompare, and Capstone.
SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES. Sales and marketing expenses were $4.9
million or 23% of total revenues in the second quarter of 1997 compared to $2.6
million or 21% of total revenues in the second quarter of 1996. The increase in
sales and marketing expenses was due primarily to increased staffing related to
the Company's expansion of its direct sales and marketing staff, including
opening sales offices in Germany, South Africa and France, and increased
expenses for trade shows, advertising and other marketing programs to support
the roll-out of new products.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses
were $2.2 million or 10% of total revenues in the second quarter of 1997,
compared to $1.5 million or 12% of total revenues in the prior year. The
increase in these costs was due to increased staffing and related expenses,
including recruiting costs, to support higher levels of sales and development
activity of the Company resulting in part from the fiscal 1996 acquisitions of
Risk Data Corporation and Retek Distribution Corporation. The decrease in
general and administrative expenses as a percent of total revenues is due to
relatively higher increases in revenues as compared to the increase in general
and administrative expenses.
13
14
OPERATING INCOME. The above factors resulted in operating income of $3.5
million, constituting 17% of total revenues for the second quarter of 1997,
compared to operating income of $609,000 or 5% of total revenues in the same
quarter of the prior year.
OTHER INCOME, NET. Other income for the second quarter of 1997 was
$438,000 compared to $395,000 in the second quarter of the prior year. The
increase was due to an increase in interest income during the second quarter of
1997 as a result of higher cash and investment balances due to the cash
generated by operating activities.
INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAX PROVISION. The resulting income before income
tax provision for the second quarter of 1997 was $3.9 million or 19% of total
revenues, compared to income before tax provision of $1.0 million or 8% of total
revenues for the comparable quarter of 1996.
INCOME TAX PROVISION. The income tax provisions of $1.4 million and
$638,000 in the second quarters of 1997 and 1996, respectively, are based on
management's estimates of the effective tax rates to be incurred by the Company
during those respective full fiscal years. The income before income tax
provision of $1.0 for the second quarter of 1996 includes losses incurred by
Risk Data Corporation for which no tax benefit was available during that period,
resulting in a higher than normal effective tax rate.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996
REVENUES. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $39.5
million, an increase of 76% over revenues of $22.5 million for the same period
in the prior year. This increase was due to greater license and maintenance
revenues, which were $30.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, an
increase of 120% from $14.0 million for the comparable period in 1996. The
Company's license and maintenance revenues are derived from periodic license
fees, perpetual license fees and maintenance fees. This increase in license and
maintenance revenues was due primarily to the growth of license fee revenues
from products of recently acquired companies, including the Retek Merchandising
System, which provides management solutions for retailers, and PMAdvisor, which
automates the comparison of therapy treatments against clinical guidelines. Also
contributing to the increase in license and maintenance revenues was growth in
revenue from Falcon license fees, Capstone, which processes credit card
applications, ProfitMax, which detects fraud in credit card applications and, to
a lesser extent, revenue from CompCompare, which permits insurers to compare
historical costs of workers' compensation insurance claims.

Installation and implementation revenues for the six months ended June
30, 1997 were $4.1 million, an increase of 71% over revenues of $2.4 million
during the first six months of 1996. This increase was due primarily to new
installations of ProfitMax and Capstone, and to a lesser extent, Colleague.
Contracts and other revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were
$4.5 million, a decrease of 25% as compared to $6.0 million for the same period
in the prior year. The Company had a fewer number of new product pilot
installations in process during the six months ended June 30, 1997 than during
the six months ended June 30, 1996, which accounted in part for the decrease in
contracts and other revenues during that period. Revenues from contract services
are generally recognized as the services are performed using the percentage of
completion method based on costs incurred to date compared to total estimated
costs at completion.
During 1996, the Company had a significant number of new product
development projects in process consisting of new product pilot installations,
most of which the Company began shipping in production versions in 1997. Any
significant delay in the completion of these or other new products, or the
failure of such products, if and when installed, to achieve any significant
market acceptance, would have a material adverse effect upon the Company's
business.
LICENSE AND MAINTENANCE EXPENSES. License and maintenance expenses
primarily consist of the Company's expenses for personnel engaged in customer
support, costs of travel to customer sites and the costs of documentation
materials. License and maintenance expenses for the first six months of 1997
were $5.4 million and constituted 18% of license and maintenance revenues for
the period, whereas such expenses were $4.1 million and represented 29% of
license and maintenance revenues in the first six months of 1996. The primary
reason for the increase in these expenses was increased staffing and associated
costs in client services to support the increased volume of business. License
and maintenance expenses represented a lower percentage of license and
maintenance revenues in the period ended June 30, 1997 than in the comparable
period in the prior year. This increase in gross margins was due to increased
shipments of new products, including the Retek Merchandising System, PMAdvisor,
Capstone and ProfitMax, outpacing the growth in costs. Consequently, the
Company's margins may vary from period to period depending upon, among other
things, the relative mix of early adopter priced product revenues versus full
priced product revenues for the period.
INSTALLATION AND IMPLEMENTATION EXPENSES. Installation and
implementation expenses for the first six months of 1997 were $2.1 million and
50% of installation and implementation revenues, whereas such expenses were $1.2
million and 49% of installation and implementation revenues during the same
period of 1996. The primary reason for the increase in these expenses in
absolute dollars was increased staffing and associated costs to support the
increased volume of business.
15
16
CONTRACTS AND OTHER EXPENSES. Contracts and other expenses consist
primarily of personnel-related expenses associated with the Company's
performance of such contracts. Contracts and other expenses in the first six
months of 1997 were $3.3 million or 73% of contracts and other revenues as
compared to $4.0 million or 66% of such revenues in the first six months of
1996. The increase in these expenses as a percent of revenues is due to the
completion of several higher margin commercial development contracts during the
second quarter of 1997. The remaining development contracts are primarily
government contacts and on-going model development projects which typically
yield lower margins than commercial new product pilot contracts.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses in
the first six months of 1997 were $9.0 million or 23% of total revenues compared
to $5.6 million or 25% of total revenues in the first six months of the prior
year. The increase in these expenses in absolute dollars was due primarily to
increases in staffing and related costs to support increased product development
activities, primarily related to enhancements to Retek Merchandising, Retek Data
Warehouse, and Retek's ARI product, and to a lesser extent, CompCompare,
ProviderCompare, and Capstone.
SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES. Sales and marketing expenses were $9.1
million or 23% of total revenues in the first six months of 1997 compared to
$4.8 million or 21% of total revenues in the first six months of 1996. The
increase in sales and marketing expenses was due primarily to increased staffing
related to the Company's expansion of its direct sales and marketing staff,
including opening sales offices in the United Kingdom, Japan, South Africa,
Germany, and France, and increased expenses for trade shows, advertising and
other marketing programs to support the roll-out of new products.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses
were $4.0 million or 10% of total revenues in the first six months of 1997,
compared to $2.8 million or 13% of total revenues in the prior year. The
increase in these costs was due to increased staffing and related expenses,
including recruiting costs, to support higher levels of sales and development
activity of the Company resulting in part from the fiscal 1996 acquisitions of
Risk Data Corporation and Retek Distribution Corporation. The decrease in
general and administrative expenses as a percent of total revenues is due to
relatively higher increases in revenues as compared to the increase in general
and administrative expenses.
OPERATING INCOME (LOSS). The above factors resulted in operating income
of $6.5 million, constituting 17% of total revenues for the first six months of
1997, compared to an operating loss of $18,000 in the same period of the prior
year.
16
17
OTHER INCOME, NET. Other income for the first six months of 1997 was
$842,000 compared to $832,000 in the first six months of the prior year. The
increase was due to an increase in interest income during the first six months
of 1997 as a result of higher cash and investment balances due to the cash
generated by operating activities. Interest income in the first six months of
1996 is offset by interest expense of $286,000 related to Risk Data's bank notes
payable.
INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAX PROVISION. The resulting income before income
tax provision for the first six months of 1997 was $7.4 million or 19% of total
revenues, compared to income before tax provision of $814,000 or 4% of total
revenues for the comparable period of 1996.
INCOME TAX PROVISION. The income tax provisions of $2.7 million and $1.2
million in the first six months of 1997 and 1996, respectively, are based on
management's estimates of the effective tax rates to be incurred by the Company
during those respective full fiscal years. The income before income tax
provision of $814,000 for the first six months of 1996 includes losses incurred
by Risk Data Corporation and Retek Distribution Corporation for which no tax
benefit was available during that period, resulting in a higher than normal
effective tax rate.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities during the first six months of
1997 was $6.7 million, which represented net income before depreciation and
amortization of approximately $6.7 million, further increased by increases in
accrued liabilities of $1.4 million and deferred revenue of $1.1 million,
related to contract and license prepayments, and offset by increases in accounts
receivable of $1.6 million and other assets of $295,000, and a decrease accounts
payable of $519,000. Net cash used in operating activities during the first six
months of 1996 of $90,000 represented net income before depreciation and
amortization of approximately $950,000. This was increased by increases in
deferred revenue of $1.7 million related to contract and license prepayments and
accounts payable of $1.5 million, and a decrease in deferred tax assets of $1.1
million offset by increases in accounts receivable of $4.1 million and other
assets of $1.2 million.
Net cash used in investing activities was $12.7 million during the first
six months of 1997, primarily due to net purchases of investments of $10.2
million. In addition, the Company expended $2.5 million for property and
equipment during the first six months of 1997, including $2.2 million for
computer equipment to support the increased staffing across the Company. Net
cash used in investing activities was $19.6 million during the first six months
of 1996 as a result of net purchases of investments of $17.9 million. The
Company also acquired approximately $1.7 million of property and equipment
(primarily computer equipment) during the first six months of 1996.
17
18
Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.9 million during the
first six months of 1997 primarily due to the tax benefit from stock option
exercises of $2.4 million and the net proceeds from the issuance of common stock
of $1.7 million, offset by capital lease repayments. Net cash provided by
financing activities was $1.7 million during the first six months of 1996,
primarily as a result of proceeds from Risk Data Corporation's bridge loan and
bank line of credit totaling $2.3 million and the net proceeds from the issuance
of common stock of $1.0 million, offset by repayments of the revolving line of
credit, notes payable to stockholders and capital lease obligations totaling
$1.6 million.
At June 30, 1997, the Company had $42.3 million in cash, cash
equivalents and investments. Management believes that the Company's cash and
investments and cash generated from operations will be adequate for the
Company's cash requirements for the next twelve months. Management intends to
invest the Company's cash in excess of current operating requirements in
short-term, interest-bearing, investment grade securities. A portion of the
Company's cash could be used to acquire or invest in complementary businesses or
products or to obtain the right to use complementary technologies or data. From
time to time, in the ordinary course of business, the Company evaluates
potential acquisitions of such businesses, products, technologies or data.
