NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(1) UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements contained herein
are unaudited, but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation
of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods
presented. Results of operations for the periods presented herein are not
necessarily indicative of results of operations for the entire year.
Reference should be made to the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K,
which includes audited financial statements for the year ended December 31,
1998.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and regulations.
(2) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
In March, 1999 the Company acquired all of the outstanding share capital of
Braid Group Limited, ("Braid") a privately held Bermuda corporation pursuant to
a Stock Purchase Agreement by and among the Company and each of the stockholders
of Braid.
TSI Software purchased all of the outstanding share capital of Braid for
approximately $110.2 million excluding approximately $20 million of contingent
consideration to be paid upon the achievement of certain performance criteria.
The purchase price included (1) $30 million in cash, (2) 2,207,258 shares of TSI
Software common stock valued at approximately $63.7 million, (3) the issuance of
options to purchase 434,622 shares of the company's common stock, with a fair
value of approximately $12.0 million, in exchange for all outstanding Braid
stock options, and (4) approximately $4.5 million in fees and acquisition
related expenses. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. The excess of the purchase price, excluding the contingent
consideration, over the fair value of the assets is approximately $125.2 million
including the effect of recording $14.8 million of deferred tax liability,
related to nondeductible identifiable intangible assets. Of this amount, $39.0
million was allocated to identifiable intangible assets which are amortized over
periods of 3 to 5 years, with the remainder allocated to goodwill which is
amortized over 5 years.
(3) NEWLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," (SFAS 133) which establishes accounting and
reporting standards for
8
derivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS 137,
(Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -- Deferral of
the effective date of SFAS no. 133 -- an Amendment of SFAS no. 133) is effective
for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. This
statement is not expected to effect the Company as the Company currently does
not have any significant derivative instruments or hedging activities.
On December 15, 1998 the AICPA issued SOP 98-9, "Modification of SOP 97-2,
Software Revenue Recognition, with Respect to Certain Transactions" which is
effective for transactions entered into in fiscal years beginning after March
15,1999. SOP 98-9 requires the application of the "residual method" of
recognition for certain components of a multiple element arrangement. Under this
method, the arrangement fee is recognized as follows: (1) the total fair value
of the undelivered elements, as indicated by vendor-specific objective evidence,
is deferred and subsequently recognized in accordance with the relevant sections
of SOP 97-2 and (2) the difference between the total arrangement fee and the
amount deferred for the undelivered elements is to be recognized as revenue. All
other provisions of SOP 97-2 remain in effect. The Company will adopt SOP 98-9
for software transactions in the year which begins on January 1, 2000. The
Company believes that its current accounting policies substantially comply with
SOP 98-9 and therefore does not expect the adoption of 98-9 to have a material
effect on our operations.
Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting
standard groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not
significant to the financial statements of the Company.
(4) STOCK ACTIVITIES
Effective April 5, 1999, the company completed a 2 for 1 common stock split in
the form of a stock dividend. The accompanying financial statements have been
retroactively adjusted to reflect this common stock split.
On March 26, 1999, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's
1997 Equity Incentive Plan. The shares reserved for issuance under the plan
were increased from 2,500,000 to an aggregate of 4,750,000.
(5) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income" during 1998. SFAS 130 requires the Company to report comprehensive
income in its financial statements, in addition to its net income. Comprehensive
income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and foreign currency translation
adjustments. Comprehensive income (loss) was ($4.8 million) and $2.1 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 respectively.
(6) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share is presented in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.
128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128) and SEC staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98.
Under SFAS 128, basic earnings per share ("EPS") excludes dilution for common
stock equivalents and is computed by dividing income or loss available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
and resulted in the issuance of common stock.
Diluted loss per share has not been presented separately for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1999, as the outstanding stock options and warrants are
anti-dilutive for each of the periods presented. Antidilutive potential common
shares outstanding were 3,012,935 and 3,346,322 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1999, respectively.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This report contains or may contain certain forward-looking statements and
information that are based on beliefs of, and information currently available
to, the Company's management as well as estimates and assumptions made by the
Company's management. When used in this report, words such as "anticipate,"
"believe," "estimate," "expect," "future," "intend," "plan,"
9
and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company's
management, identify forward-looking statements. The Company's actual results
may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking
statements. Factors that might cause such difference include, but are not
limited to, (1) the effects of rapid technological change and the need to make
frequent product transitions, (2) the potential for software defects, (3) the
impact of competitive products and pricing, (4) less than anticipated growth in
the enterprise resource planning software market and related services, (5)
uncertainties in attracting and retaining needed management, marketing, sales,
professional services and product development personnel, (6) the Company's
ability to manage growth and integrate the operations of its recent
acquisitions, (7) the success of the Company's Mercator product line, (8)
the Company's ability to develop additional distribution channels, and (9)
those discussed in "Factors That Many Affect Future Results" contained herein
and in the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including but not limited to those discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in
the Company's Registration Statement on Form, S-1 (File No. 333-52007). Should
one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the
underlying estimates or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results or outcomes
may vary significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected,
intended or planned.
OVERVIEW
The Company was incorporated in Connecticut in 1985 and reincorporated in
Delaware in September 1993. In June 1991, the Company began developing its
Mercator product and in December 1993 released Version 1.0 of Mercator. The
Company released the latest version of Mercator, in December 1998.
Historically, the Company has derived a majority of its revenues from products
other than Mercator, primarily its Trading Partner family of products and its
KEY/MASTER product. However, revenue related to Mercator has grown significantly
in each of the last three years and has increased as a percentage of total
revenues. The Company believes that a future growth in revenues, if any, will be
mainly attributable to its Mercator product line and the acquisition of new
products. In view of the relatively recent introduction of Mercator and the
recent acquisition of Braid, the Company believes it cannot accurately predict
the amount of revenues that will be attributable to such products or other
acquired products or the life of such products. To the extent the Company's
Mercator products do not achieve market acceptance, the Company's business,
operating results and financial condition will be materially and adversely
affected.
The Company's revenues are derived principally from two sources: (1) license
fees for the use of the Company's software products and (2) service fees for
maintenance, consulting services and training related to the Company's software
products. The Company recognizes revenue from software license fees based on
the following four criteria: persuasive evidence of an agreement exists,
delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable, and the fee is
collectible. The Company's KEY/MASTER product is licensed under term-use
contracts rather than for a one-time license fee, and the Company recognizes
revenue from such arrangements on a present-value basis at the inception of the
contract. Revenues from consulting and training are recognized as services are
performed, and maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over the maintenance
period, typically one year. The Company does not actively market new contracts
10
for KEY/MASTER but continues to receive KEY/MASTER related revenues, which are
principally maintenance revenues. As a result, KEY/MASTER accounts for a larger
proportion of maintenance revenues than license revenues. The Company has
increased the scope of its service offerings insofar as they support the sale of
its products. The Company believes that software licensing will continue to
account for a larger portion of its total revenues in the future.
Mercator can be used by IT professionals as well as Value Added Resellers
(VARs), independent software vendors (ISV'S), systems integrators (SI's) or
other third parties who resell, embed or otherwise bundle Mercator with their
products. To date, license fee revenues have been derived principally from
direct sales of software products through the Company's direct sales force.
Although the Company believes that such direct sales will continue to account
for a significant portion of software licensing revenues, the Company intends to
increase its use of distributors and resellers. Furthermore, the Company's
planned expansion of its sales organization is expected to cause sales and
marketing expenses to increase.
The Company markets its products in North America primarily through its direct
sales and telesales organizations. In addition, the Company markets its
products and services outside North America through sales offices located in the
United Kingdom, Germany, France, and, with the acquisition of Braid, through
offices located in Singapore, Australia and Hong Kong, as well as through
indirect channels. International sales are recorded in their local currency and
converted in consolidation. Revenues from international customers were
approximately 20% and 12% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The Company anticipates that revenues from international
customers will represent a larger percentage of total revenue in the future.
The size of the Company's orders can range from a few thousand dollars to over
$150,000 per order. The loss or delay of large individual orders, therefore,
can have a significant impact on the revenues and other quarterly results of the
Company. In addition, the Company has generally recognized a substantial
portion of its quarterly software licensing revenues in the last month of each
quarter, and as a result, revenue from a limited number of license transactions
could cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter
which may be difficult to predict and could result in significant losses. To the
extent such expenses preceed, or are not subsequently followed by, increased
revenue, the Company's operating results could be materially and adversely
affected. As a result of these and other factors, operating results for any
quarter are subject to variation, and the Company believes that period-to-period
comparisons of its results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and
should not be relied upon as indications of future performance.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED WITH THREE
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998
REVENUES:
Total Revenues. The Company's total revenues increased 133% to $23.6 million
in the second quarter of 1999 from $10.1 million in the comparable period of
1998. This increase resulted primarily from increased license sales as well as
from increased billings for professional services.
11
Braid contributed $6.5 million in total revenues for the three month period
ending June 30, 1999.
Software Licensing. Software licensing revenues increased 89% to $12.5
million in the second quarter of 1999 from $6.6 million in the comparable period
of 1998, primarily due to an increase in Mercator license revenues and license
revenues of $2.9 million from Braid.
Service, Maintenance and Other. Service, maintenance and other revenues
increased 218% to $11.1 million in the second quarter of 1999 from $3.5 million
in the comparable period of 1998, primarily due to higher professional services
associated with sales of Mercator, Contribution of services and
maintenance from Braid of $3.6 million and, to a lesser extent, an increase in
Mercator maintenance revenue, partially offset by a decrease attributable to
declining KEY/MASTER maintenance revenues.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of software licensing revenues consists primarily of
media, manuals, distribution costs and the cost of third party software that the
Company resells. Cost of service, maintenance and other revenues consists
primarily of personnel-related costs in providing maintenance, technical
support, consulting and training to customers. Gross margin on software
licensing revenues is higher than gross margin on service, maintenance and other
revenues, reflecting the low materials, packaging and other costs of software
products compared with the relatively high personnel costs associated with
providing maintenance, technical support, consulting and training services. Cost
of service, maintenance and other revenues also varies based upon the mix of
maintenance, technical support, consulting and training services.
Total Cost of Revenues. Total cost of revenues increased 286% to $5.6 million
in the second quarter of 1999 from $1.5 million in the comparable period of
1998.
Cost of Software Licensing. Cost of software licensing revenues decreased 31%
to $381,300 in the second quarter of 1999 from $501,400 in the comparable period
of 1998. Software licensing gross margin increased to 97% for the second
quarter of 1999 as compared to 92% for the same period in 1998.
Cost of Service, Maintenance and Other. Cost of service, maintenance and
other revenues increased 448% to $5.2 million in the second quarter of 1999 from
$955,700 in the comparable period of 1998, primarily due to the acquisition of
Software Consulting Partners and Braid and the related costs, and an increase in
professional services rendered, and therefore higher professional services
personnel costs, particularly Mercator-related services. Service, maintenance
and other gross margin was 53% and 73% for the second quarter of 1999 and 1998,
respectively.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Product Development. Product development expenses include expenses associated
with the development of new products and enhancements to existing products and
consist primarily of salaries, recruiting and other personnel- related expenses,
depreciation of development equipment, supplies, travel, and allocated
facilities and communications costs.
Product development costs increased 160% to $3.7 million in the second quarter
of 1999 from
12
$1.4 million in the second quarter of 1998, primarily due to increased product
development activities related to the Mercator product line. Product development
expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 16% in the second quarter
of 1999 from 14% in the second quarter of 1998. The Company believes that a
significant level of research and development expenditures is required to remain
competitive. Accordingly, the Company anticipates that it will continue to
devote substantial resources to research and development. The Company expects
that the absolute dollar amount of research and development expenses will
increase through at least the remainder of 1999. To date, all research and
development expenditures have been expensed as incurred.
Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist of sales and
marketing personnel costs, including sales commissions, recruiting, travel,
advertising, public relations, seminars, trade shows, product descriptive
literature and allocated facilities and communications costs.
Selling and marketing costs increased 99% to $10.0 million in the second
quarter of 1999 from $5.0 million in the second quarter of 1998, primarily due
to the increased number of sales and marketing personnel and increased
expenditures for Mercator related marketing and advertising programs. Selling
and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 42% in the
second quarter of 1999 from 49% in the second quarter of 1998. The Company
expects to continue hiring additional sales and marketing personnel and to
increase promotional expenses through the remainder of 1999 to focus on the
Mercator product line and the newly acquired Braid products. The Company
anticipates that sales and marketing expenses will continue to increase in
absolute dollar amount.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries, recruiting and other personnel-related expenses for the
Company's administrative, executive and finance personnel as well as outside
legal and audit costs.
General and administrative expenses increased 68% to $2.0 million in the
second quarter of 1999 from $1.2 million in the second quarter of 1998,
primarily due to increased administrative costs to support the Company's growth.
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased
to 8% for the second quarter of 1999 from 12% for the first quarter of 1998. The
Company believes that the absolute dollar amount of its general and
administrative expenses will continue to increase as the Company expands its
administrative staff to support the Company's worldwide expansion.
Amortization of intangibles. The amortization of goodwill and other
intangibles resulting from the acquisition of Software Consulting Partners
("SCP") in November 1998 and Braid in March 1999 was $7.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) NET
Net other income, (net) represents income earned on the Company's cash
balances and interest on term contracts. Net interest income decreased to
$230,800 in the second quarter of 1999 from $363,500 in the comparable period of
1998, due to lower cash balances resulting from the acquisition of Braid Inc.
in March of 1999.
13
INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense decreased to $102,000 for the second quarter of 1999 from
$209,800 for the second quarter of 1998. The provision for income taxes for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 reflects the anticipated effective tax rate on
projected income for the year ended December 31, 1999, which is affected by the
amortization of goodwill which is non deductible for income tax purposes. The
provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 1999 has been
reduced by the release of the valuation allowance related to $1.0 million in
research and development tax credits as the Company determined that it was more
likely than not these credits will be utilized in the year ended December 31,
1999.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED WITH SIX
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998
REVENUES:
Total Revenues. The Company's total revenues increased 123% to $40.9 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from $18.3 million in the comparable
period of 1998. This increase primarily resulted from increased license sales as
well as increased billings for professional services. Braid contributed $8.4
million in total revenues for the six month period ending June 30, 1999.
Software Licensing. Software licensing revenues increased 89% to $22.3 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from $11.8 million in the comparable
period of 1998, primarily due to an increase in Mercator license revenues and
license revenues of $3.5 million from Braid.
Service, Maintenance and Other. Service, maintenance and other revenues
increased 186% to $18.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from $6.5
million in the comparable period of 1998, primarily due to higher professional
services associated with sales of Mercator, Braid contribution of services and
maintenance of $4.9 million and, to a lesser extent, an increase in Mercator
maintenance revenue, partially offset by a decrease attributable to KEY/MASTER
maintenance revenues.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of software licensing revenues consists primarily of
media, manuals, distribution costs and the cost of third party software that the
Company resells. Cost of service, maintenance and other revenues consists
primarily of personnel-related costs in providing maintenance, technical
support, consulting and training to customers. Gross margin on software
licensing revenues is higher than gross margin on service, maintenance and other
revenues, reflecting the low materials, packaging and other costs of software
products compared with the relatively high personnel costs associated with
providing maintenance, technical support, consulting and training services. Cost
of service, maintenance and other revenues also varies based upon the mix of
maintenance, technical support, consulting and training services.
Total Cost of Revenues. Total cost of revenues increased 320% to $10.3
million in the first six months of 1999 from $2.5 million in the comparable
period of 1998.
Cost of Software Licensing. Cost of software licensing revenues increased 10%
to $817,400 in the first six months of 1999 from $740,600 in the comparable
period of 1998. Software licensing gross margin was 96% and 94% for the six
month period ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Cost of Service, Maintenance and Other. Cost of service, maintenance and
other revenues increased 453% to $9.5 million for the first six months of 1999
from $1.7 million in the
14
comparable period of 1998, primarily due to the acquisition of Software
Consulting Partners and Braid and the related costs, and an increase in
professional services rendered, and therefore higher professional services
personnel costs, particularly Mercator-related services. Service, maintenance
and other gross margin was 49% and 74% for the six months ended June 30, 1999
and 1998, respectively.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Product Development. Product development expenses include expenses associated
with the development of new products and enhancements to existing products and
consist primarily of salaries, recruiting and other personnel- related expenses,
depreciation of development equipment, supplies, travel, and allocated
facilities and communications costs.
Product development costs increased 124% to $5.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 from $2.7 million in the comparable period of 1998,
primarily due to increased product development activities related to the
Mercator product line. Product development expenses as a percentage of total
revenue increased to 15% in the first six months of 1999 from 14% in the first
six months of 1998. The Company believes that a significant level of research
and development expenditures is required to remain competitive. Accordingly, the
Company anticipates that it will continue to devote substantial resources to
research and development. The Company expects that the dollar amount of research
and development expenses will increase through at least the remainder of 1999.
To date, all research and development expenditures have been expensed as
incurred.
Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist of sales and
marketing personnel costs, including sales commissions, recruiting, travel,
advertising, public relations, seminars, trade shows, product descriptive
literature and allocated facilities and communications costs.
Selling and marketing costs increased 82% to $16.6 million in the first half
of 1999 from $9.1 million in the first half of 1998, primarily due to the
increased number of sales and marketing personnel and increased expenditures for
Mercator related marketing and advertising programs. Selling and marketing
expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 41% in the first six
months of 1999 from 50% in the first six months of 1998. The Company expects to
continue hiring additional sales and marketing personnel and to increase
promotional expenses through the remainder of 1999 to focus on the Mercator
product line and the newly acquired Braid products. The Company anticipates that
sales and marketing expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollar
amount.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries, recruiting and other personnel-related expenses for the
Company's administrative, executive and finance personnel as well as outside
legal and audit costs.
General and administrative expenses increased 68% to $4.0 million in the first
six months of 1999 from $2.4 million in the first six months of 1998, primarily
due to increased administrative costs to support the Company's growth. General
and administrative expenses as a percentage of
15
total revenues decreased to 10% for the first half of 1999 from 13% for the
first half of 1998. The Company believes that the dollar amount of its general
and administrative expenses will continue to increase as the Company expands its
administrative staff to support the Company's worldwide expansion.
Amortization of intangibles. The amortization of goodwill and other
intangibles resulting from the acquisition of SOP in November 1998 and Braid in
March 1999 was $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) NET
Net other income, net represents income earned on the Company's cash
balances and interest on term contracts. Net interest income increased to
$741,900 in the first six months of 1999 from $686,700 in the comparable period
of 1998.
INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense decreased to $172,000 for the six months ending June 30,
1999 from $314,800 for the second quarter of 1998. The provision for income
taxes for the six months ended 1999 reflects the anticipated effective tax rate
on projected income for the year ended December 31, 1999 which is effected by
the amortization of goodwill which is non deductible for income tax purposes.
The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1999 has been
reduced by the release of the valuation allowance related to $1.0 million in
research and development tax credits as the Company determined that it was more
likely than not that these credits will be utilized in the year ended December
31, 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On June 30, 1999, the Company had net working capital of $21.6 million, which
included cash and marketable securities of $14.9 million.
Operating activities (used in) provided by net cash of ($3.5 million) and
$559,800 during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The cash provided in the six months ended June 30, 1999 was due to changes in
accounts receivable and the timing of payments to certain vendors.
Investing activities (used in) net cash of ($9.8 million) during the six
months ended June 30, 1999. The reduction in cash was due to the acquisition of
Braid Ltd., offset by the sale of marketable securities. Investing activities
(used) cash of ($12.5 million) during the six months ended June 30, 1998 due
primarily to the purchase of marketable securities during the year.
Financing activities provided net cash of $1.0 million and $22.7 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The cash provided
for 1999 was due to proceeds from sale of stock through employee stock option
exercises and employee stock purchase plan purchases, and for 1998 from the
proceeds from a secondary offering of the Company's stock.
Net accounts receivable was $26.3 million at June 30, 1999 compared to $11.7
million at June 30, 1998. The number of days sales in accounts receivables was
100 at June 30, 1999 compared to 104 at June 30, 1998. The decrease in days
sales outstanding is the result of reducing the extension of payment terms for
certain customers and the timing of collections.
Capital expenditures have been, and future capital expenditures are
anticipated to be primarily
16
for facilities, equipment and computer software to support expansion of the
Company's operation. As of June 30, 1999, the Company had no material
commitments for capital expenditures.
The Company believes that its current cash and cash equivalent balances and
any net cash generated by operations will be sufficient to meet its anticipated
cash needs for working capital, capital expenditures and business expansion for
at least the next 12 months. Thereafter, if cash balances generated by
operations are insufficient to satisfy the Company's operating requirements, the
Company may seek additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance
that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company and the
Company's stockholders. As was the case with the Braid acquisition, a portion
of the Company's cash could also be used to acquire or invest in complementary
businesses or products or otherwise to obtain the right to use complementary
technologies. From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, the
Company evaluates potential acquisitions of such businesses, products or
technologies.
YEAR 2000 READINESS
Awareness: The Company is aware of the issues associated with the
programming code in existing computer systems as the millennium ("Year 2000")
approaches. Many currently installed computer systems and software products are
unable to distinguish between twentieth century dates and twenty-first century
dates because such systems may have been developed using two digits rather than
four to determine the applicable year. For example, computer programs that have
date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather
than the year 2000. This error could result in system failures, generation of
erroneous data or miscalculations causing disruption of operations, including
among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices
or engage in similar normal business activities. As a result, many companies'
software and computer systems may need to be upgraded or replaced to comply with
such Year 2000 requirements. The Year 2000 problem is pervasive and complex.
Significant uncertainty exists in the software industry concerning the potential
impact of Year 2000 problems. Demand for certain of the Company's products may
be generated by customers who are replacing or upgrading computer systems to
accomodate the Year 2000 date change. The Company is assessing the potential
overall impact of the impending century change on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.
State of Readiness: Based on the Company's assessment to date, the Company
believes the current versions of its software products and services are "Year
2000 ready" that is, they are capable of adequately distinguishing twenty-first
century dates from twentieth century dates. New products are being designed to
be Year 2000 ready. Although the Company's products have undergone the
Company's normal quality testing procedures, there can, however, be no assurance
that the Company's products will contain all necessary date code changes.
Furthermore, use of the Company's products in connection with other products
which are not Year 2000 compliant, including non-compliant hardware, software
and firmware may result in the inaccurate exchange of dates and result in
performance problems or system failure. In addition, OEM derivative versions of
older products may not be year 2000 ready. Any failure of the Company's
products to perform, including system malfunctions associated with the onset of
Year 2000, could result in claims against the Company. However, the success of
the Company's Year 2000 readiness efforts may depend on the success of its
customers in dealing with the Year
17
2000 issue. We have issued disclosure statements to all our existing
customers and have posted these statements on our website.
Although the Company has not been a party to any litigation or arbitration
proceeding to date that involves Year 2000 compliance issues with its products
or services, it could be required to defend its products or services in such
proceedings, or to negotiate resolutions of claims based on Year 2000 issues.
The costs of defending and resolving Year 2000-related disputes, regardless of
the merits of such disputes, and any liability of the Company for Year 2000-
related damages, excluding consequential damages, could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business.
In addition, the Company believes that the purchasing patterns of customers
and potential customers of the Company may be affected by Year 2000 compliance
issues as organizations expend significant resources to correct their current
software systems for Year 2000 compliance. These expenditures may result in
reduced funding available to such entities for other information technology
purchases, such as those products and services offered by the Company.
Furthermore, customers and potential customers may defer information technology
purchases until early in the next millennium to avoid Year 2000 compliance
problems. As a result, demand for some of the Company's products may diminish as
the Year 2000 arrives, which could negatively impact the Company revenue growth
rate. Any such deferral of purchases by the Company's customers or potential
customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
operating results and financial condition.
The Company's business depends on numerous systems that could potentially be
impacted by Year 2000 related problems. Those systems include, among others:
hardware and software systems used by the Company to deliver products and
services to its customers (including software supplied by third parties);
communications networks such as the wide area network and local area networks
upon which the Company depends to communicate product orders to its
manufacturing and distribution operations and to develop products; the internal
systems of the Company's customers and suppliers; software products sold to
customers; the hardware and software systems used internally by the Company in
the management of its business; and non-information technology systems and
services used by the Company in the management of its business, such as power,
telephone systems and building systems.
The Company has currently evaluated its information technology infrastructure
in order to identify and modify any products, services or systems that are not
Year 2000 compliant. Based on its analysis of the systems potentially impacted
by conducting business in the twenty-first century, the Company is applying a
phased approach to making such systems, and accordingly, the Company's
operations, ready for Year 2000. Beyond awareness of the issues and scope of
systems involved, the phases of activities in process include: an assessment of
specific underlying computer systems, programs and hardware; renovation or
replacement of Year 2000 non-compliant technology; validation and testing of
critical systems certified by third-party suppliers to be Year 2000 compliant;
and implementation of Year 2000 compliant systems. The table below describes
the status and timing of such phased activities:

Testing and implementation
19
Extensive Year 2000 Testing will be conducted on all systems considered
critical to the Company. To date, the Company has not encountered any material
problems in this regard with its computer systems or any other equipment that
might be subject to such problems. In the event that any of the Company's
significant suppliers or customers do not successfully and timely achieve Year
2000 compliance, the Company's business or operations could be adversely
affected. This could result in system failures or generation of erroneous
information and could cause significant disruption to business activities. The
Company is reviewing what further actions are required to make all software
systems used internally Year 2000 compliant as well as actions needed to
mitigate vulnerability to problems with suppliers and other third parties'
systems. Such actions include a review of vendor contracts and formal
communication with suppliers to request certification that products are Year
2000 compliant.
Costs to Address Year 2000 Issues: The total cost of these Year 2000
compliance activities has not been, and is not anticipated to be, material to
the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. These
costs and the timing in which the Company plans to complete its Year 2000
modification and testing processes are based on management's estimates.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will timely identify and
remedy all significant Year 2000 problems, that remediation efforts will not
involve significant time and expense, or that such problems will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and
financial condition.
Contingency Plans: The Company does not presently have a contingency plan for
handling Year 2000 problems that are not detected and corrected prior to their
occurrence. Any failure of the Company to address any unforeseen Year 2000
issue could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.
CONVERSION TO A SINGLE EUROPEAN CURRENCY
The Company has sales in a number of foreign countries, but at the present
time they are not significant and the conversion to a single European currency
has not had a material impact on the Company's financial results. With the
acquisition of Braid Ltd. and increased selling efforts in international
markets, conversion impact will increase during 1999.
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
Market acceptance of the Company's product line may not increase or remain at
current levels. The Company may not be able to successfully market the Mercator
product line and develop extensions and enhancements to these product lines on a
long-term basis. In the event the Company's current or future competitors
release new products that provide, or are perceived as providing, more advanced
features, greater functionality, better performance, better compatibility with
other systems or lower prices than the Company's products, demand for the
Company's products and services would likely decline. A decline in demand for,
or market acceptance of, the Company's products as a result of competition,
technological change or other
20
factors would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.
TSI Software depends on ERP System Implementations. A substantial portion of
the Company's sales of its Mercator products and related services has been
attributable to sales of Mercator for use with ERP Systems and related services.
The Company believes that its future revenue growth, if any, will also depend in
significant part upon continued sale of Mercator for use in ERP System
implementations. The Company has devoted and must continue to devote
substantial resources to identifying potential customers in the ERP market,
building strategic relationships and attracting and retaining skilled technical,
sales and professional services personnel with expertise in ERP systems.
Personnel with expertise in the ERP system are in high demand and as such are
typically difficult to hire and retain. Regardless of the investments the
Company makes in pursuing this new market, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be successful in implementing a sales and marketing strategy
appropriate for this market or in attracting and retaining the necessary skilled
personnel.
Demand for and market acceptance of Mercator for R/3 and related services
will be dependent on the continued market acceptance of the SAP R/3 system. As
a result, any factor adversely affecting demand for or use of SAP R/3 systems
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating
results and financial condition. Implementation of the SAP R/3 system is a
costly and time-consuming process and there can be no assurance that businesses
will choose to purchase such systems. Furthermore, there can be no assurance
that businesses which may implement such systems will wish to commit the
additional resources required to implement Mercator for R/3. In addition, SAP
could in the future introduce business application integration solutions
competitive with Mercator for R/3 and related services. Moreover, any changes
in or new versions of SAP's R/3 system could materially and adversely affect the
Company's business, operating results and financial condition if the Company
were not able to successfully develop or implement any related changes to
Mercator for R/3 in a timely fashion. The Company will also be required to
maintain ALE, EDI, and DMI certifications for Mercator for R/3. In order to
maintain such certification, the Company's product must adhere to SAP's
technical specifications which are updated by SAP from time to time, and the
Company has no control over whether or when such specifications will be changed.
Any material change by SAP in such specifications could require the Company to
devote significant development resources to updating this product to comply with
such specifications. In such event, there can be no assurance that the Company
would be able to successfully modify Mercator for R/3 on a timely basis, if at
all, and any failure to do so could materially and adversely affect the
Company's business, operating results and financial condition.
The Company may, in the future, seek to develop and market enhancements to
existing products or new products which are targeted for applications, systems
or platforms which the Company believes will achieve commercial acceptance.
These efforts could require the Company to devote significant development and
sales and marketing personnel as well as other resources to such efforts which
would otherwise be available for other purposes. The Company may not be able to
successfully identify such applications, systems or platforms. Also these
applications, systems or platforms will have to achieve commercial acceptance or
the Company may not realize a sufficient return on its investment.
21
In addition, the introduction or announcement by the Company, or by one or
more of its current or future competitors, of products embodying new
technologies or features could render the Company's existing products obsolete
or unmarketable.
Dependence upon Development of Distribution Channels. An integral part of the
Company's strategy is to expand both its direct sales force and its indirect
sales channels such as Value-Added Resellers (or VARs), Independent Software
Vendors (or ISVs), Systems Integrators (or SIs) and distributors. Although
VAR's, ISVs, SIs and distributors have not accounted for a substantial
percentage of the Company's total revenues historically, the Company is
increasing resources dedicated to developing and expanding its indirect
distribution channels. TSI Software may not be successful in expanding the
number of indirect distribution channels for its products. Furthermore, any new
VARs, ISV, SIs or distributors may offer competing products, or have no minimum
purchase requirements of the Company's products. These third parties also may
not provide adequate levels of services and technical support. The inability of
the Company to enter into additional indirect distribution arrangements, the
failure of these third parties to perform under agreements with the Company and
to penetrate their markets, or the inability of the Company to retain and
manage VARs, ISVs, SIs and distributors with the technical and industry
expertise required to market the Company's products successfully could have
material adverse effect on the Company's business. The Company's planned
efforts to expand its use of VARs, ISVs, SIs and distributors may not be
successful. To the extent that the Company is successful in increasing its
sales through indirect sales channels, it expects that those sales will be at
lower per-unit prices than sales through direct channels. Therefore revenue to
the Company for each such sale will be less than if the Company had licensed the
same product to the customer directly.
Selling through indirect channels may limit the Company's contacts with its
customers. As a result, the Company's ability to accurately forecast sales,
evaluate customer satisfaction and recognize emerging customer requirements may
be hindered.
The Company's strategy of marketing its products directly to end-users and
indirectly through VARs, ISVs, SIs, and distributors may also result in
distribution channel conflicts. The Company's direct sales efforts may compete
with those of its indirect channels and, to the extent different resellers
target the same customer, resellers may also come into conflict with each other.
Although the Company has attempted to manage its distribution channels to avoid
potential conflicts, channel conflicts could materially and adversely affect its
relationships with existing VARs, ISVs, SIs or distributors or adversely affect
its ability to attract new VARs, ISVs, SIs and distributors.
Management growth. The growth of the Company's business has placed, and is
expected to continue to place, a strain on the Company's administrative,
financial, sales and operational resources and increased demands on its systems
and controls.
The Company has implemented, or is in the process of implementing, and will be
required to implement in the future a variety of new and upgraded operational
and financial systems, procedures and controls and to hire additional
administrative personnel. TSI Software may not be able to complete the
implementation of these systems, procedures and controls or hire such
22
personnel in a timely manner. The failure of the Company or its management to
respond to, and manage, its growth and changing business conditions, or to adapt
its operational, management and financial control systems to accommodate its
growth could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. To
promote growth in the Company's sales and operations, the Company will also
continue to expand its sales and marketing organizations, expand and develop its
distribution channels, fund increasing levels of product development and
increase the size of its training, professional services and customer support
organization to accommodate expanded operations. The Company may not be
successful in these endeavors.
Risks associated with International expansion. With its recent acquisition of
Braid, the Company has expanded its administrative, sales and marketing
resources outside of the United States, which will require significant
management attention and financial resources. The Company also expects to commit
additional time and development resources to customizing its products for
selected international markets and developing international sales and support
channels. International operations involve a number of additional risks,
including the impact of possible recessionary environments in economies outside
the United States, longer receivables collections periods and greater difficulty
in accounts receivable collection, unexpected changes in regulatory
requirements, dependence on independent resellers, reduced protection for
intellectual property rights in some countries, tariffs and other trade
barriers, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, difficulties in staffing
and managing foreign operations, the burdens of complying with a variety of
foreign laws, potentially adverse tax consequences and political and economic
instability.
To the extent the Company's international operations continue to expand, the
Company expects that an increasing portion of its international license and
service and other revenues will be denominated in foreign currencies, subjecting
the Company to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company
does not currently engage in foreign currency hedging transactions. However, as
the company continues to expand its international operations, exposures to gains
and losses on foreign currency transactions may increase. The Company may
choose to limit such exposure by the purchase of forward foreign exchange
contracts or similar hedging strategies. There can be no assurance that any
currency exchange strategy would be successful in avoiding exchange-related
losses. There can be no assurance that the foregoing factors will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's future international revenue and, the
Company believes that its growth will require expansion of its sales in the
foreign market. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
sustain or increase revenue derived from international sources.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
TSI is exposed to market risk primarily through its investments in marketable
securities. TSI's investment policy calls for investment in short term, low
risk instruments. As of June 30, 1999, investments in marketable securities
were $12.1 million. Due to the nature of these investments, any decrease in
rates would not have material impact on the Company's financial statements.
