BMC SOFTWARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of BMC Software, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively,
the Company or BMC). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts previously reported have been
reclassified to ensure comparability among the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods
presented. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2000, as filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K.
The Company acquired New Dimension Software, Ltd. (New Dimension) effective
April 14, 1999, Evity, Inc. (Evity) effective April 25, 2000, and OptiSystems
Solutions, Ltd. (OptiSystems) effective August 8, 2000, in purchase
transactions. As such, their results have been included in the Company's fiscal
2000 and 2001 financial results from their respective acquisition dates.
(2) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share" requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS).
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income 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 into common stock. For purposes of this calculation,
outstanding stock options and unearned restricted stock are considered potential
common shares using the treasury stock method. For the three months ended
September 30, 2000, the treasury stock method effect of 40.5 million weighted
options and 1.1 million weighted unearned restricted shares has been excluded
from the calculation of EPS as it is anti-dilutive. For the six months ended
September 30, 2000, the treasury stock method effect of 38.1 million weighted
options and 0.9 million weighted unearned restricted shares has been excluded
from the calculation of EPS as it is anti-dilutive. The following table
summarizes the basic and diluted EPS computations for the three months and six
months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000:

(3) TECHNOLOGY ACQUISITIONS
On April 25, 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Evity in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. The aggregate purchase price
totaled $67.3 million, including cash consideration of $10.0 million, 1.0
million shares of common stock, 0.4 million common stock options and transaction
costs, and was allocated as follows: $2.5 million to acquired technology, $57.8
million to goodwill and other intangibles and $7.0 million (10% of the purchase
price) to purchased in-process research and development (IPR&D). Net tangible
assets acquired were insignificant. All intangible assets are being amortized on
a straight-line basis over three years, which represents the estimated future
periods to be benefited.
On August 8, 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
OptiSystems in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. The aggregate purchase
price totaled $71.5 million in cash, including transaction costs, and was
allocated as follows: $6.3 million to acquired technology, $55.2 million to
goodwill and other intangibles, $4.0 million to equipment, receivables and other
non-software assets, net of liabilities assumed, and $6.0 million (8% of the
purchase price) to purchased in-process research and development. All
intangibles are being amortized on a straight-line basis over three years, which
represents the estimated future periods to be benefited.
The amounts allocated to purchased IPR&D were charged to expense in the
quarters ended June 30, 2000, and September 30, 2000, respectively, and
represent the present value of the estimated after-tax cash flows expected to be
generated by the purchased technology, which at the acquisition dates, had not
yet reached technological feasibility. The cash flow estimates for revenues, for
both completed and in-process technologies, were based on estimates of relevant
market sizes and growth factors, expected trends in technology, and the nature
and expected timing of new product introductions by the Company and its
competitors. Estimated operating expenses and income taxes were deducted from
estimated revenue projections to arrive at estimated after-tax cash flows.
Estimated operating expenses included cost of goods sold, selling and marketing
expenses, general and administrative expenses, and research and development,
including estimated costs to maintain the products once they have been
introduced into the market and are generating revenue. The rates utilized to
discount the estimated cash flows for in-process technologies and developed
technologies, respectively, were 30% and 20% for Evity and 25% and 20% for
OptiSystems, and were based primarily on estimated cost of capital calculations.
The following unaudited pro forma results of operations for the three months
and six months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, are as if the acquisitions of
Evity and OptiSystems had occurred at the beginning of each period presented.
The pro forma consolidated results do not purport to be indicative of results
that would have occurred had the acquisitions been in effect for the periods
presented, nor do they purport to be indicative of the results that will be
obtained in the future. The pro forma net earnings exclude the effect of the
$7.0 million and $6.0 million write-offs of IPR&D associated with the
acquisitions, respectively, in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.

In connection with the Evity acquisition, 0.6 million restricted shares of
common stock were issued to certain employee shareholders of Evity. These shares
vest monthly over a two-year period based on continued employment with the
Company. The $25.1 million fair value of these shares was recorded as unearned
restricted stock compensation within stockholders' equity at the acquisition
date, and is being charged to expense as merger-related costs and compensation
charges over the service period.
During fiscal 1999, the Company entered into a technology agreement with
Envive Corporation and allocated $6.4 million of the committed transaction costs
to software assets, prepaid royalties and interest. During the first quarter of
fiscal 2001, this agreement was terminated and the remaining assets, totaling
$4.7 million, were charged to expense. This expense is included as an acquired
research and development charge in the accompanying statement of earnings and
comprehensive income for the six months ended September 30, 2000.

(4) SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company operates primarily in one segment, distributing its enterprise
systems management software products. The Company also provides consulting and
education services related to these software products. During the first quarter
of fiscal 2001, management began reviewing the results and assessing the
performance of the professional services operations as a separate segment within
the Company. The following table reflects the results of the software and
professional services segments for the three months and six months ended
September 30, 1999 and 2000. Performance is measured based on operating margins,
which reflect only the direct controllable expenses of the segment and do not
include allocation of general and administrative expenses, amortization of
goodwill, acquired technology and intangibles, one-time charges, other income,
net, and income taxes. Total assets of the professional services segment are not
significant.

Product Line Revenues
At September 30, 2000, we marketed over 450 software products designed to
improve the availability, performance and recoverability of enterprise
applications, databases and other information technology ("IT") systems
components operating in mainframe, distributed computing and Internet
environments. Our mainframe products accounted for 63% and 52% of total
revenues, respectively, in the quarters ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, and
66% and 58% of total revenues, respectively, for the six-month periods ended
September 30, 1999 and 2000. Total revenues from mainframe products for the
three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2000 declined 35% and 25%
as compared to the respective prior year periods. In general, the revenues from
these products are driven largely by the growth in customers' processing
capacity. The decline in the fiscal 2001 periods resulted primarily from a
decrease in enterprise license transactions during those periods and a reduction
in license upgrade fees as discussed below. Demand weakness was experienced
across the board in the June and September quarters by independent software
vendors with mainframe product portfolios. We believe that this indicates that
external market factors contributed significantly to this weakness. While it is
impossible to assign weights to any individual factors, market factors that may
have contributed to this weakness and the resultant negative effect on license
revenues experienced by us and our competitors included uncertainties associated
with the roll-out of IBM's Z-series mainframe product family and workload-based
pricing model and continued customer absorption of MIPS capacity purchased in
association with Year 2000 compliance programs.
The high performance utilities and administrative tools for IBM's IMS and
DB2 database management systems comprise the largest portion of our
mainframe-based revenues. Our tools and utilities for IMS and DB2 databases
collectively contributed 40% and 29% of total revenues for the three months
ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, and 42% and 34% of total revenues for the
six-month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively. Total
revenues and license revenues from these product lines combined decreased 44%
and 63%, respectively, in the second quarter of fiscal 2001, and decreased 31%
and 45% in the six-month period ended September 30, 2000, compared to the
respective prior year periods. The balance of our mainframe products contributed
23% of total revenues for the three-month periods ended September 30, 1999 and
2000, and 24% of total revenues for the six-month periods ended September 30,
1999 and 2000. Total revenues and license revenues for these other mainframe
products declined 18% and 32%, respectively, in the second quarter of fiscal
2001 and declined 15% and 25% in the six-month period ended September 30, 2000.
Our principal distributed systems management product lines are the PATROL
application and data management suite, the PATROL for Performance Management
products, the PATROL for Prediction and Capacity Management products, the PATROL
Enterprise Manager products, the INCONTROL Control-M job scheduling, Control-D
output management and Control-SA security administration products, the PATROL DB
database administration products, and a management suite for IBM's MQSeries
middleware technology. Late in the first quarter of fiscal 2001, we introduced
PATROL 2000, the first major integration of the PATROL, BEST/1 and COMMAND/POST
products into a comprehensive solution for distributed systems. In total, the
distributed systems product lines contributed 34% and 41% of total revenues for
the quarters ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively, and 39% and 54% of
license revenues for the same periods. In the six months ended September 30,
1999 and 2000, these product lines contributed 31% and 37% of total revenues and
36% and 45% of license revenues, respectively. Total distributed systems
revenues decreased 5% and license revenues from distributed systems declined 15%
in the second quarter of fiscal 2001, and grew 1% and declined 10%,
respectively, for the six months ended September 30, 2000. In addition to the
various external factors that we believe may have affected our mainframe license
revenues, our distributed systems license revenues may have been negatively
affected
11
12
because many of our mainframe customers are also customers of our distributed
systems products and sometimes purchase distributed systems products together
with mainframe products in enterprise solutions. The revenues from our
distributed systems product offerings also depend upon the continued market
acceptance of our existing products and our ability to successfully develop and
deliver additional products for the distributed systems environment. Despite the
license revenue decrease in the first half of fiscal 2001, overall we have
experienced rapid growth in our distributed systems product lines since their
introduction in late fiscal 1994. The distributed systems market is highly
competitive and dynamic and there can be no assurance that this growth will
resume.
Product License Revenues
Our product license revenues consist of product license fees and license
upgrade fees. Product license fees are all fees associated with a customer's
licensing of a given software product for the first time. License upgrade fees
are all fees associated with a customer's purchase of the right to run a
previously licensed product on a larger computer, additional computers or
additional processing capacity. License upgrade fees are primarily generated by
our mainframe products and include fees associated both with current and future
additional processing capacity.
Our North American operations generated 69% and 53% of license revenues in
the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, and 71% and 62% of total
license revenues for the six-month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 2000.
Decreased capacity-based license upgrade fees were the largest contributor to
the 53% and 37% decline in North American license revenues in the three months
and six months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, followed by a decline in
distributed systems license revenues. International license revenues represented
31% and 47% of license revenues for the quarters ended September 30, 1999 and
2000, respectively, and 29% and 38% of license revenues in the six-month periods
ended on such dates. International license revenues declined 7% from the second
quarter of fiscal 2000 to the comparable quarter of fiscal 2001 and 6% for the
six months ended September 30, 2000. The decline in the second quarter was
principally due to foreign currency exchange rate changes from the comparable
fiscal 2000 quarter, after giving effect to our foreign currency hedging
program. Decreased international upgrade fees associated with mainframe products
offset increased product license fees generated from initial licenses during the
period.
The sustainability and growth of our mainframe-based license revenues are
dependent upon capacity-based license upgrade fees, particularly within our
largest customer accounts. During the quarters ended September 30, 1999 and
2000, mainframe license upgrade fees (for current and future processing
capacity) accounted for 28% and 11% of our total revenues. Most of our largest
mainframe customers have entered into enterprise license agreements allowing
them to install our products on any number of CPUs, subject to a maximum limit
on the aggregate processing power of the CPUs as measured in millions of
instructions per second (MIPS). Additional license upgrade fees are due if the
MIPS limit is exceeded. Substantially all of these transactions include license
upgrade fees associated with additional processing capacity beyond the
customers' current usage levels, and some include product license fees for
additional products. In our typical enterprise license transactions, the fees
associated with future additional mainframe processing capacity comprise from
one-half to substantially all of the license fees received in these
transactions. Prior to fiscal 2000, we experienced several years of increasing
demand from our mainframe customers for the right to run our products on
increased future mainframe processing capacity. This led to larger single
transactions with higher per MIPS discounts. Growth in mainframe capacity-based
license upgrade fees slowed in fiscal 2000 and such fees actually declined in
the first half of fiscal 2001. Because we expect that we will continue to be
dependent upon these capacity-related license upgrade fees, continued slowing of
this demand would adversely impact our mainframe license revenues and operating
results. See the discussion below under the heading "Certain Risks and
Uncertainties that Could Affect Future Operating Results."
Maintenance and Support Revenues
Maintenance and support revenues represent the ratable recognition of fees
to enroll licensed products in our software maintenance, enhancement and support
program. Maintenance and support enrollment entitles customers to product
enhancements, technical support services and ongoing compatibility with
third-party operating systems, database management systems and applications.
These fees are generally charged annually and equal 15% to 20% of the discounted
price of the product. In addition, customers are entitled to reduced maintenance
percentages for prepayment of annual maintenance fees. Maintenance revenues also
include the ratable recognition of the bundled fees for any initial maintenance
services covered by the related perpetual license agreement.
12
13
Maintenance revenues have increased for the three-month and six-month
periods ended September 30, 2000 over the comparable prior year periods as a
result of the continuing growth in the base of installed products and the
processing capacity on which they run. Maintenance fees increase in proportion
to the aggregate processing capacity on which the products are installed;
consequently, we receive higher absolute maintenance fees as customers install
our products on additional processing capacity. Due to the increased discounting
for higher levels of additional processing capacity, the maintenance fees on a
per MIPS basis are typically reduced in enterprise license agreements for
mainframe products. Historically, we have enjoyed high maintenance renewal rates
for our mainframe-based products. Should customers migrate from their mainframe
applications or find alternatives to our products, increased cancellations could
adversely impact the sustainability and growth of our maintenance revenues. To
date, we have been successful in extending our traditional maintenance and
support pricing model to the distributed systems market.
Professional Services Revenues
Professional services revenues, representing fees from implementation,
integration and education services performed during the period, increased 38%
and 60%, respectively, during the three-month and six-month periods ended
September 30, 2000, over the comparable prior year periods. Our professional
services headcount has increased significantly over the last twelve months to
meet the increasing demand for our expanding service offerings.

Selling and Marketing
Our selling and marketing expenses include personnel and related costs,
sales commissions and costs associated with advertising, industry trade shows
and sales seminars. Decreased sales commissions due to the 38% license revenue
decline were the largest single contributor to the expense reduction in the
three months ended September 30, 2000, along with a decrease related to the
major re-branding during the first half of the prior year which did not recur in
fiscal 2001. These reductions offset increased personnel costs during the
quarter related to increased sales and marketing headcount over the prior year.
For the six months ended September 30, 2000, the expense increase also related
to additional headcount during the period as well as the global user conference
held during the first quarter. In general, marketing costs have continued to
increase to meet the requirements of marketing a greater number of increasingly
complex distributed systems products and to support a growing indirect
distribution channel.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses mainly comprise personnel costs related to
software developers and development support personnel, including software
programmers, testing and quality assurance personnel and writers of technical
documentation such as product manuals and installation guides. These expenses
also include computer hardware/software costs and telecommunications expenses
necessary to maintain our data processing center. Increases in our research and
development expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 were the result of
increased compensation costs associated with both software developers and
development support personnel, as well as associated benefits and facilities
costs. Research and development costs were reduced by amounts capitalized in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86,
"Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise
Marketed." We capitalize our software development costs when the projects under
development reach technological feasibility as defined by SFAS No. 86. During
the second quarters of fiscal 2000 and 2001, we capitalized approximately $16.1
million and $25.3 million, respectively, of internal software development costs.
Capitalized software development costs for the six months ended September 30,
1999 and 2000 were $33.1 million and $44.3 million, respectively. The growth in
capitalized costs is primarily due to increases in distributed systems product
development and platform compatibility efforts.
13
14
Cost of Maintenance Services and Product Licenses
Cost of maintenance services and product licenses consists of amortization
of purchased and internally developed software, costs associated with the
maintenance, enhancement and support of our products and royalty fees.
Maintenance, enhancement and support costs are increasing as a percentage of
maintenance fees as our product revenue mix shifts to distributed systems, which
require a higher level of support. We amortized $5.6 million and $8.9 million in
the second quarters of fiscal 2000 and 2001, respectively, of capitalized
internal software development costs pursuant to SFAS No. 86, including a minimal
amount in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 to accelerate the amortization of
certain software products. For the six months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000,
we amortized $11.5 million and $16.9 million, respectively. We accelerated the
amortization of certain software products during the second quarter of fiscal
2001 as they were not expected to generate sufficient future revenues which
would be required for us to realize the carrying value of the assets.
We expect our cost of maintenance services and product licenses will
continue to increase as we capitalize a higher level of software development
costs and as we build our distributed systems product support organization,
which is less cost-effective than our mainframe support organization because of
the complexity and variability of the environments in which the products
operate. Our distributed systems products operate in a high number of operating
environments, including operating systems, database management systems and ERP
applications, and require greater ongoing platform support development activity
relative to our OS/390 mainframe products.
Cost of Professional Services
Cost of professional services consists primarily of personnel costs
associated with implementation, integration and education services that we
perform for our customers, and the related infrastructure to support this
business. The increase in these costs for the three months and six months ended
September 30, 2000, over the comparable prior year periods resulted from
increased headcount to support the 38% and 60% growth in professional services
revenues, respectively, during these periods.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses are comprised primarily of compensation
and personnel costs within executive management, finance and accounting, product
distribution, facilities management and human resources. Other expenses included
in general and administrative expenses are fees paid for legal and accounting
services, consulting projects, insurance and costs of managing our foreign
currency exposure. Growth in general and administrative expenses for both the
three months and six months ended September 30, 2000 over the same periods in
the prior year was primarily attributable to increased personnel costs and bad
debt expense, which offset reduced management bonuses for the periods.
Acquired Research and Development and Related Costs
Acquired IPR&D costs for the six months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000,
were $80.8 million and $17.7 million, respectively. These technology charges
relate to the acquisitions of New Dimension in the first quarter of fiscal 2000,
Evity in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 and OptiSystems in the second quarter
of fiscal 2001. The acquired IPR&D charge for the six months ended September 30,
2000, also includes the write-off of assets totaling $4.7 million, related to a
technology agreement with Envive Corporation that was terminated during the
first quarter of fiscal 2001.

On April 25, 2000, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Evity in a
transaction accounted for as a purchase. The aggregate purchase price totaled
$67.3 million, including cash consideration of $10.0 million, 1.0 million shares
of common stock, 0.4 million common stock options and transaction costs, and was
allocated as follows: $2.5 million to acquired technology, $57.8 million to
goodwill and other intangibles and $7.0 million (10% of the purchase price) to
purchased in-process research and development (IPR&D). Net tangible assets
acquired were insignificant. The amount allocated to purchased IPR&D represents
the estimated fair value, based on risk-adjusted cash flows, related to Evity's
research and development projects not yet completed. At the date of acquisition,
the development of these projects had not yet reached technological feasibility,
and the research and development in progress had no alternative future uses.
Accordingly, these costs were expensed as of the acquisition date, during the
quarter ended June 30, 2000.
At the acquisition date, Evity was conducting design, development,
engineering and testing activities associated with the completion of SiteAngel
2.0, an enhanced version of Evity's SiteAngel Website performance monitoring
product, as well as new technologies in the areas of load testing and network
infrastructure. The projects under development at the valuation date represent
next-generation technologies that are expected to address emerging market
demands for the Web performance market.
At the acquisition date, the technologies under development were
approximately 45% complete based on engineering man-month data and technological
progress. Evity had spent nearly $1 million on the in-process projects, and
expected to spend approximately $1.3 million to complete all phases of the
research and development. Anticipated completion dates ranged from 4 to 18
months, at which times we expect to begin benefiting from the developed
technologies.
On August 8, 2000, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of OptiSystems
in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. The aggregate purchase price
totaled $71.5 million in cash, including transaction costs, and was allocated as
follows: $6.3 million to acquired technology, $55.2 million to goodwill and
other intangibles, $4.0 million to equipment, receivables and other non-software
assets, net of liabilities assumed, and $6.0 million (8% of the purchase price)
to purchased in-process research and development. The amount allocated to
purchased IPR&D represents the estimated fair value, based on risk-adjusted cash
flows, related to OptiSystems' incomplete research and development projects. At
the date of acquisition, the development of these projects had not yet reached
technological feasibility, and the research and development in progress had no
alternative future uses. Accordingly, these costs were expensed as of the
acquisition date, during the quarter ended September 30, 2000.
At the acquisition date, OptiSystems was conducting design, development,
engineering and testing activities associated with the completion of several
components of its Energizer for R/3 product. The projects under development at
the valuation date represent next-generation technologies that are expected to
address emerging market demands for the enterprise application performance
market.
At the acquisition date, the technologies under development were
approximately 50% complete based on engineering man-month data and technological
progress. OptiSystems had spent approximately $1.0 million on the in-process
projects, and expected to spend approximately $1.2 million to complete all
phases of the research and development. Anticipated completion dates ranged from
2 to 11 months, at which times we expect to begin benefiting from the developed
technologies.
15
16
In making the purchase price allocations for Evity and OptiSystems, we
considered present value calculations of income, analyses of project
accomplishments and remaining outstanding items, assessments of overall
contributions, as well as project risks. The values assigned to purchased
in-process technology were determined by estimating the costs to develop the
acquired technologies into commercially viable products, estimating the
resulting net cash flows from the projects, and discounting the net cash flows
to their present value. The revenue projections used to value the in-process
research and development were based on estimates of relevant market sizes and
growth factors, expected trends in technology, and the nature and expected
timing of new product introductions by us and our competitors. The resulting net
cash flows from such projects are based on our estimates of cost of sales,
operating expenses, and income taxes from such projects.
Aggregate revenues for the Evity and OptiSystems developed, in-process and
future products were estimated to grow at compounded annual growth rates of
approximately 155% and 43%, respectively, for the five years following
acquisition, assuming the successful completion and market acceptance of the
major current and future research and development programs. The estimated
revenues for the in-process projects were expected to peak within three years of
acquisition and then decline sharply as other new products and technologies are
expected to enter the market.
The rates utilized to discount the net cash flows to their present value
were based on estimated cost of capital calculations. Due to the nature of the
forecasts and the risks associated with the projected growth and profitability
of the developmental projects, discount rates of 30% for Evity and 25% for
OptiSystems, were considered appropriate for the in-process R&D. These discount
rates were commensurate with Evity's and OptiSystems' stages of development and
the uncertainties in the economic estimates described above.
If these projects are not successfully developed, the sales and
profitability of the combined company may be adversely affected in future
periods. Additionally, the value of other acquired intangible assets may become
impaired.
Amortization of Goodwill, Acquired Technology and Intangibles
In connection with the application of the purchase accounting method to
certain of our acquisitions, portions of the purchase prices were allocated to
goodwill, workforce, customer base, software and other intangible assets. We are
amortizing these intangibles over three to five-year periods, which reflect the
estimated useful lives of the respective assets. The increase in amortization
expense is primarily related to the acquisitions of Evity and OptiSystems
discussed above.
Merger-Related Costs and Compensation Charges
In conjunction with our merger with Boole in March 1999, management approved
a formal plan of restructuring (the "Plan") which included steps to be taken to
integrate the operations of the two companies, consolidate duplicate facilities
and streamline operations to achieve reductions in overhead expenses in future
periods. In connection with the Plan, we charged $1.4 million to expense during
the second quarter of fiscal 2000. No additional charges related to the Plan
have been recorded during fiscal 2001 and as of September 30, 2000, we have
remaining accrued merger-related costs of approximately $5.1 million for
facility and termination costs to be paid in future periods. During the three
months and six months ended September 30, 2000, we recorded compensation charges
of $3.3 million and $5.4 million, respectively, related to the vesting of common
stock issued as part of the Evity acquisition to certain Evity employee
shareholders who we employed after the acquisition.
OTHER INCOME, NET
For the three months and six months ended September 30, 2000, other income,
net was $19.4 million and $31.8 million, reflecting an increase of 98% and 54%
from the same periods of fiscal 2000. Other income, net consists primarily of
interest earned on cash, cash equivalents and investment securities and interest
expense on short-term borrowings. The increase in other income, net is primarily
due to a one-time gain of $2.9 million related to the sale of a financial
instrument in the second quarter of fiscal 2001, decreased borrowings and
increased investment income.
INCOME TAXES
For the three months and six months ended September 30, 2000, income taxes
were a benefit of $3.9 million and expense of $0.1 million, respectively,
compared to expense of $13.8 million and $16.0 million for the same periods in
fiscal 2000. The reduction in income tax expense is directly attributable to the
decline in pre-tax earnings discussed above.

In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities - A Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125." This
Statement revises the standards for accounting for securitizations and other
transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures,
but it carries over most of SFAS No. 125's provisions without reconsideration.
SFAS No. 140 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and
extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. It is effective
for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for disclosures relating
to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after
December 15, 2000. We believe that adoption of SFAS No. 140 will not have a
material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We continue to primarily finance our growth through funds generated from
operations. For the six months ended September 30, 2000, net cash provided by
operating activities was $292.1 million. As of September 30, 1999, we had cash,
cash equivalents and investment securities of $1.0 billion and short-term
borrowings of $175.0 million.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, our board of directors authorized
us to purchase up to $500 million in common stock. We have repurchased 2.0
million common shares on the open market for $51.6 million through September 30,
2000.
We believe that existing cash balances and funds generated from operations
will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements for the foreseeable
future.
B. CERTAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT COULD AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS.
Our Stock Price is Volatile.
Our stock price has been and is highly volatile. Our stock price is highly
influenced by current expectations of future revenue and earnings growth rates.
Any failure to meet anticipated revenue and earnings levels in a period or any
negative change in our perceived long-term growth prospects would likely have a
significant adverse effect on our stock price. Our historical financial results
should not be seen as indicative of future results.
The Timing and Size of License Contracts Could Cause Our Quarterly Revenues and
Earnings to Fluctuate.
Our revenues and results of operations are difficult to predict and may
fluctuate substantially quarter to quarter. The timing and amount of our license
revenues are subject to a number of factors that make estimation of operating
results prior to the end of a quarter extremely uncertain. We generally operate
with little or no sales backlog and, as a result, license revenues in any
quarter are dependent upon contracts entered into or orders booked and shipped
in that quarter. Most of our sales are closed at the end of each quarter. Our
business remains dependent on closing large enterprise license transactions,
which can have sales cycles of up to a year or more and require approval by a
customer's upper management. These transactions are typically difficult to
manage and predict. Failure to close an expected individually significant
transaction or multiple expected transactions could cause our revenues and
earnings in a period to fall short of expectations. We generally do not know
whether revenues and earnings will meet expectations until the final days or day
of a quarter.
We have a High Degree of Operating Leverage.
Our business model is characterized by a very high degree of operating
leverage. A substantial portion of our operating costs and expenses consists of
employee and facility related costs, which are relatively fixed over the short
term. In addition, our expense levels and hiring plans are based substantially
on our projections of future revenues. If near term demand weakens in a given
quarter, there would likely be a material adverse effect on operating results
and a resultant drop in our stock price.
17
18
Our Operating Margins May Decline Further.
There is a risk that our historically high operating margins may not be
sustainable and may continue to decline, which would adversely affect our
earnings. Our operating margins, excluding amortization of goodwill, acquired
technology and intangibles, merger-related compensation and one-time charges,
declined during fiscal 2000 and declined further during the first half of fiscal
2001 as compared to fiscal 1999 and prior periods. We do not compile margin
analysis other than on an aggregated basis; however, we are aware that operating
expenses as a percentage of revenues associated with our distributed systems
products are higher than those associated with our traditional mainframe
products. Since our mix of business continues to shift to distributed systems,
operating margins will experience more pressure. In addition, we are not
currently profitable in our growing professional services business. We may be
unable to increase or even maintain our current level of profitability on a
quarterly or annual basis in the future. Additionally, we have acquired
businesses experiencing lower operating margins than us.
We May Not be Able to Attract and Retain Qualified Personnel.
Our future success depends on the continued service of our executive
officers and other key administrative, sales and marketing, development and
support personnel. There is currently a shortage of individuals possessing the
technical background necessary to sell, support and develop our products
effectively. Competition for skilled personnel is intense, and we may not be
able to attract, assimilate or retain highly qualified personnel in the future.
Hiring qualified sales, marketing, administrative, research and development and
customer support personnel is very competitive in our industry, particularly in
some of the markets where our development teams are located, such as San Jose,
California, Austin, Texas and Waltham, Massachusetts. In addition to our direct
competitors, we are competing for qualified personnel with start-ups and small
companies, many of which are offering significant ownership interests in the
form of stock options to attract employees. In competing with start-ups and
other high growth companies, our recent stock price performance, with our shares
trading well below the average stock price over the last two years, has made it
more difficult for us to attract and retain employees. Consequently, our growth
rates may be limited by our ability to attract qualified personnel.
Decreasing Demand for Mainframe Processing Capacity Could Adversely Affect
Revenues.
Fees from enterprise license transactions have historically been a
fundamental component of our revenues and the primary source of mainframe
license revenues. These revenues depend on our customers planning to grow their
mainframe capacity and continuing to perceive an increasing need to use our
existing software products on substantially greater mainframe processing
capacity in future periods. Over the past year, IBM has experienced a decline in
shipments of new mainframe hardware. In addition, the continued growth of
distributed database management systems may have an adverse effect on growth
rates for mainframe computing systems. Although we believe that businesses will
continue to demand greater mainframe computing capacity and that e-business will
be a driver of this demand, there can be no assurance as to whether future
demand for mainframe capacity will continue to grow or not. Slower growth in our
customers' mainframe processing capacity will adversely affect our revenues.
Increased Competition and Pricing Pressures Could Adversely Affect Our Sales.
The market for systems management software has been increasingly competitive
for the past number of years and is currently intensifying. We compete with a
variety of software vendors including IBM and Computer Associates International,
Inc. (CA). We derived approximately 64% of our total revenues in fiscal 2000 and
58% of our total revenues in the first half of fiscal 2001 from software
products for IBM and IBM-compatible mainframe computers. IBM continues to focus
on reducing the overall software costs associated with the OS/390 mainframe
platform. IBM continues, directly and through third parties, to aggressively
enhance its utilities for IMS and DB2 to provide lower cost alternatives to the
products provided by us and other independent software vendors. IBM has
significantly increased its level of activity in the IMS and DB2 high-speed
utility markets over the last two years and recently announced a significant R&D
commitment to compete in these markets. If IBM is successful with its efforts to
achieve performance and functional equivalence with our IMS, DB2 and other
products at a lower cost, our business will be materially adversely affected. CA
entered the mainframe database tools and utilities market with its acquisition
of Platinum Technology International, Inc. (DB2 tools and utilities) and
Innovative Designs, Inc. (IMS tools and utilities) and is competing with us in
these markets. Microsoft entered the distributed systems monitoring and
management market through its relationship with Net IQ and is now competing with
us in the market for management tools for the Windows operating system.
18
19
Capacity-based upgrade fees associated with both current and future
processing capacity contributed approximately one-fourth to one-third of our
total revenues in each of fiscal years 1998, 1999 and 2000. Due to the decreases
in our mainframe business during fiscal 2001, such mainframe upgrade fees have
declined to 19% of total revenues for the first half of fiscal 2001. The
charging of upgrade fees based on the capacity to which the product is licensed
is standard among mainframe systems software vendors, including IBM. While we
believe our current pricing policies properly reflect the value provided by our
products, the pricing of mainframe systems software and particularly the
charging of capacity-based upgrade fees is under constant pressure from
customers and competitive vendors. IBM continues to reduce the costs of its
mainframe systems software to increase the overall cost competitiveness of its
mainframe hardware and software products and generally charges less for its
software products. In connection with the introduction of its Z-series server,
IBM has announced changes to its mainframe software pricing, including a new
workload-based pricing model. These actions continue to increase pricing
pressures within the mainframe systems software markets. We continue to reduce
the cost of our mainframe tools and utilities in response to these and other
competitive pressures. We have also announced that we will support the new
workload-based pricing structure for the Z-series, but the effect of this change
on our future mainframe license revenues cannot be determined.
Maintenance Revenue Growth Could Slow.
Maintenance revenues have increased over the last three fiscal years and the
first half of fiscal 2001 as a result of the continuing growth in the base of
installed products and the processing capacity on which they run. Maintenance
fees increase as the processing capacity on which the products are installed
increases; consequently, we receive higher absolute maintenance fees as
customers install our products on additional processing capacity. Due to
increased discounting for higher levels of additional processing capacity, the
maintenance fees on a per MIPS basis are typically reduced in enterprise license
agreements for our mainframe products. Historically, we have enjoyed high
maintenance renewal rates for our mainframe-based products. Should customers
migrate from their mainframe applications or find alternatives to our products,
increased cancellations could adversely impact the sustainability and growth of
our maintenance revenues. To date, we have been successful in extending our
traditional maintenance and support pricing model to the distributed systems
market. Renewal rates for maintenance on our distributed systems products are
lower than on our mainframe products.
Failure to Adapt to Technological Change Could Adversely Affect Our Earnings.
If we fail to keep pace with technological change in our industry, such
failure would have an adverse effect on our revenues and earnings. We operate in
a highly competitive industry characterized by rapid technological change,
evolving industry standards, changes in customer requirements and frequent new
product introductions and enhancements. During the past two years, funding for
new ventures and start-ups in our industry has been at an all-time high with
many new technological advancements and competing products entering the
marketplace. The distributed systems and application management markets in which
we operate are far more crowded and competitive than our traditional mainframe
systems management markets. Our ability to compete effectively and our growth
prospects depend upon many factors, including the success of our existing
distributed systems products, the timely introduction and success of future
software products, and the ability of our products to interoperate and perform
well with existing and future leading databases and other platforms supported by
our products. We have experienced long development cycles and product delays in
the past, particularly with some of our distributed systems products, and expect
to have delays in the future. Delays in new mainframe or distributed systems
product introductions or less-than-anticipated market acceptance of these new
products are possible and would have an adverse effect on our revenues and
earnings. New products or new versions of existing products may, despite
testing, contain undetected errors or bugs that will delay the introduction or
adversely affect commercial acceptance of such products.
Because the Market for E-Business Solutions is New and Evolving, We Cannot
Accurately Predict the Future Growth Rate of this Market or its Ultimate Size.
We are increasingly focusing our selling and marketing efforts on
providing solutions for e-business applications. This is a new and evolving
market, and there can be no assurance that customers will perceive a need for or
accept our e-business solutions. In addition, our success in the e-business
market may ultimately depend on the success of the Internet as a medium for
conducting business transactions. As the Internet continues to experience
significant growth in the number of users and the complexity of Web-based
applications increases, the Internet infrastructure may not be able to support
the demands placed on it or the performance or reliability of the Internet might
be adversely affected. Failure of a significant market to develop for e-business
application solutions, failure of our e-business solutions to achieve broad
market acceptance, or reduced growth in the Internet as a medium for business
transactions could adversely affect our business, operating results and
financial condition.
19
20
Changes in Pricing Practices Could Adversely Affect Revenues and Earnings.
We may choose in fiscal 2001 or a future fiscal year to make changes to our
product packaging, pricing or licensing programs. If made, such changes may have
a material adverse impact on revenues or earnings.
Our Customers May Not Accept our Product Strategies.
Historically, we have focused on selling software products to address
specific customer problems associated with their applications. We are now
increasingly moving toward integrating multiple software products and offering
packaged solutions for customers' systems. There can be no assurance that
customers will perceive a need for such solutions. In addition, there may be
technical difficulties in integrating individual products into a combined
solution that may delay the introduction of such solutions to the market or
adversely affect the demand for such solutions.
Risks Related to Business Combinations.
As part of our overall strategy, we have acquired or invested in, and plan
to continue to acquire or invest in, complementary companies, products, and
technologies and to enter into joint ventures and strategic alliances with other
companies. Our acquisitions of BGS Systems, Inc. (BGS) in March 1998, Boole in
March 1999, New Dimension in April 1999, Evity in April 2000 and OptiSystems in
August 2000 are the results of this strategy. Risks commonly encountered in such
transactions include: the difficulty of assimilating the operations and
personnel of the combined companies; the risk that we may not be able to
integrate the acquired technologies or products with our current products and
technologies; the potential disruption of our ongoing business; the inability to
retain key technical and managerial personnel; the inability of management to
maximize our financial and strategic position through the successful integration
of acquired businesses; and decreases in reported earnings as a result of
charges for in-process research and development and amortization of goodwill and
acquired intangible assets.
In order for us to maximize the return on our investments in acquired
companies, the products of these entities must be integrated with our existing
products. These integrations can be difficult and unpredictable, especially
given the complexity of software and that acquired technology is typically
developed independently and designed with no regard to integration. The
difficulties are compounded when the products involved are well established
because compatibility with the existing base of installed products must be
preserved. Successful integration also requires coordination of different
development and engineering teams. This too can be difficult and unpredictable
because of possible cultural conflicts and different opinions on technical
decisions and product roadmaps. There can be no assurance that we will be
successful in our product integration efforts or that we will realize the
expected benefits.
With each of our acquisitions, we have initiated efforts to integrate the
disparate cultures, employees, systems and products of these companies.
Retention of key employees is critical to ensure the continued advancement,
development, support, sales and marketing efforts pertaining to the acquired
products. We have implemented retention programs to keep many of the key
technical, sales and marketing employees; nonetheless, we have lost some key
employees and may lose others in the future.
Risks Associated With Managing Growth.
We have experienced an extended period of: (i) significant revenue growth
prior to fiscal 2001; (ii) acquisitions; (iii) expansion of our software product
lines and supported platforms; (iv) significant expansion in our number of
employees; (v) increased pressure on the viability and scope of our operating
and financial systems; and (vi) expansion in the geographic scope of our
operations. This growth has resulted in new and increased responsibilities for
management personnel and has placed a significant strain upon our management,
operating and financial controls and resources, including our information
systems and services and development organizations. To accommodate growth,
compete effectively and manage potential future growth, we must continue to
implement and improve the speed and quality of our information decision support
systems, management decisions, reporting systems, procedures and controls. Our
personnel, procedures, systems and controls may not be adequate to support our
future operations.
20
21
Enforcement of Our Intellectual Property Rights.
We rely on a combination of copyright, patent, trademark, trade secrets,
confidentiality procedures and contractual procedures to protect our
intellectual property rights. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual
property rights, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy
certain portions of our products or to reverse engineer or obtain and use
technology or other information that we regard as proprietary. There can also be
no assurance that our intellectual property rights would survive a legal
challenge to their validity or provide significant protection for us. In
addition, the laws of certain countries do not protect our proprietary rights to
the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Accordingly, there can be
no assurance that we will be able to protect our proprietary technology against
unauthorized third party copying or use, which could adversely affect our
competitive position.
Possibility of Infringement Claims.
From time to time, we receive notices from third parties claiming
infringement by our products of third party patent and other intellectual
property rights. We expect that software products will increasingly be subject
to such claims as the number of products and competitors in our industry
segments grow and the functionality of products overlap. In addition, we expect
to receive more patent infringement claims as companies increasingly seek to
patent their software and business methods, especially in light of recent
developments in the law that extend the ability to patent software and business
methods. Regardless of its merit, responding to any such claim could be
time-consuming, result in costly litigation and require us to enter into royalty
and licensing agreements which may not be offered or available on terms
acceptable to us. If a successful claim is made against us and we fail to
develop or license a substitute technology, our business, results of operations
or financial position could be materially adversely affected.
Risk of Year 2000 Related Problems.
Through the ten months following January 1, 2000, we have not experienced
any material failures related to Year 2000; however, there remains a risk that
latent Year 2000 problems could affect us or our products. We have tested the
ability of our software products to process Year 2000 data without interruption
or errors and believe that our products are substantially Year 2000 compliant.
Despite these tests, there can be no assurance that undetected errors or defects
do not exist that could cause these software products to fail to process Year
2000 data correctly. There is a risk that such undetected errors or defects
could surface at a later date, and that customers may assert claims against us
for any losses resulting from such errors or defects. To date, we are not aware
of any material claims being asserted or made against us related to Year 2000
failures. However, we cannot predict whether or to what extent any legal claims
will be brought, or whether we will suffer any liability as a result of any
adverse consequences to our customers related to Year 2000 failures.
Risks Related to International Operations and the Euro Currency.
We have committed, and expect to continue to commit, substantial resources
and funding to build our international service and support infrastructure.
Operating costs in many countries, including many of those in which we operate,
are higher than in the United States. In order to increase international sales
in fiscal 2001 and subsequent periods, we must continue to globalize our
software product lines; expand existing and establish additional foreign
operations; hire additional personnel; identify suitable locations for sales,
marketing, customer service and development; and recruit international
distributors and resellers in selected territories. Future operating results are
dependent on sustained performance improvement by our international offices,
particularly our European operations. Revenue growth by our European operations
has generally been slower than revenue growth in North America. There can be no
assurance that we will be successful in accelerating the revenue growth of our
European operations. Our operations and financial results internationally could
be significantly adversely affected by several risks such as changes in foreign
currency exchange rates, sluggish regional economic conditions and difficulties
in staffing and managing international operations. Generally, our foreign sales
are denominated in our foreign subsidiaries' local currencies. If these foreign
currency exchange rates change unexpectedly, we could have significant gains or
losses. Many systems and applications software vendors are experiencing
difficulties internationally.
The European Union's adoption of the Euro single currency raises a variety
of issues associated with our European operations. Although the transition will
be phased in over several years, the Euro became Europe's single currency on
January 1, 1999. Our foreign exchange exposures to legacy sovereign currencies
of the participating countries in the Euro became foreign exchange exposures to
the Euro upon its introduction. Although we are not aware of any material
adverse financial risk consequences of the change from legacy sovereign
currencies to the Euro, conversion may result in problems, which may have an
adverse impact on our business since we may be required to incur unanticipated
expenses to remedy these problems.
21
22
Conditions in Israel.
Our INCONTROL and R/3 operations are conducted partially in Israel and,
accordingly, we are directly affected by economic, political and military
conditions in Israel. Any major hostilities involving Israel or the interruption
or curtailment of trade between Israel and its present trading partners could
materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial
condition.
Israel's economy has been subject to numerous destabilizing factors,
including a period of rampant inflation in the early to mid-1980's, low foreign
exchange reserves, fluctuations in world commodity prices, military conflicts
and civil unrest. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a
state of hostility has existed, varying in degree and intensity, between Israel
and the Arab countries. In addition, Israel and companies doing business with
Israel have been the subject of an economic boycott by the Arab countries since
Israel's establishment. Although Israel has entered into various agreements with
certain Arab countries and the Palestinian Authority, and various declarations
have been signed in connection with efforts to resolve some of the economic and
political problems in the Middle East, we cannot predict whether or in what
manner these problems will be resolved. To date, the current unrest in the
region has not caused disruption of our operations located in Israel.
In addition, certain of our INCONTROL and R/3 employees are currently
obligated to perform annual reserve duty in the Israel Defense Forces and are
subject to being called for active military duty at any time. Although our
businesses located in Israel have historically operated effectively under these
requirements, we cannot predict the effect of these obligations on our
operations in the future.
Possible Adverse Impact Of Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
On April 1, 1998 and 1999 we adopted AICPA SOP 97-2, "Software Revenue
Recognition," and SOP 98-9 "Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue
Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions," respectively. The adoption
of these standards did not have a material impact on the Company's financial
position or results of operations. Based on our reading and interpretation of
these SOPs, we believe that our current sales contract terms and business
arrangements have been properly reported. However, the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants and its Software Revenue Recognition Task Force
continue to issue interpretations and guidance for applying the relevant
standards to a wide range of sales contract terms and business arrangements that
are prevalent in the software industry. Also, the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) has issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements," which provides guidance related to revenue
recognition based on interpretations and practices followed by the SEC. Future
interpretations of existing accounting standards or changes in our business
practices could result in future changes in our revenue accounting policies that
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to a variety of risks, including foreign currency exchange
rate fluctuations and changes in the market value of our investments. In the
normal course of business, we employ established policies and procedures to
manage these risks including the use of derivative instruments. There have been
no material changes in our foreign exchange risk management strategy or our
investment securities subsequent to March 31, 2000, therefore our foreign
currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk related to investments remain
substantially unchanged from the description in our Form 10-K for the year ended
March 31, 2000.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
On February 4, 2000, an action styled Dov Klein v. BMC Software, Inc.,
Richard P. Gardner, Stephen B. Solcher, Roy J. Wilson, Kevin M. Weiss, Kevin M.
Klausmeyer, Max P. Watson, Jr., William M. Austin, Wayne S. Morris, M. Brinkley
Morse, Robert E. Beauchamp, and Theodore W. Van Duyn, No. 00-CV-359, was filed
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston
Division. The plaintiff alleges that BMC Software and eleven current and former
senior executives violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act and Rule 10b-5. The plaintiff contends that BMC Software and the individual
defendants artificially inflated our stock by extending unusual payment terms to
purchasers of our products, failing to disclose softening demand and increasing
competition for our products, and failing to disclose difficulties in managing
our sales force. The plaintiff seeks unspecified compensatory damages, interest
and costs, including legal fees. The action is subject to the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "PSLRA"). On March 9, 2000, the court
consolidated four similar actions, ordered that all subsequently filed similar
actions be consolidated, and set out a briefing schedule. Subsequently, six
additional cases were filed that made similar allegations. These cases were also
consolidated into the main action. On August 14, 2000, the plaintiff filed a
consolidated amended complaint. This complaint alleges a class of all persons
who purchased BMC stock between July 29, 1999 and July 5, 2000. We intend to
deny the allegations in the consolidated amended complaint and defend the
consolidated action vigorously. We anticipate that we will file a motion to
dismiss the case. At this early stage of the litigation, it is not possible to
estimate potential damages, but it appears that if liability were established,
an unfavorable judgment or settlement could have a material adverse effect on
our financial position or results of operations.
We are subject to various other legal proceedings and claims, either
asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business.
Management does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will
have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of
operations.
