GENERAL The accompanying consolidated financial statements of BindView Development Corporation, a Texas corporation (the "Company" or "BindView"), included herein have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. The Company believes that the presentations and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not misleading. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2002. 2. LOSS PER SHARE The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share (in thousands, except per share amounts): <Table> <Caption> THREE MONTHS NINE MONTHS ENDED ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, -------------------------------- -------------------------------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- Numerator: Net loss - numerator for loss per share - basic and diluted $ (1,146) $ (2,941) $ (5,990) $ (25,831) ============== ============== ============== ============== Denominator: Denominator for basic loss per share - weighted-average shares 46,816 51,050 46,623 51,314 Effect of dilutive securities -- -- -- -- -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- Total diluted shares 46,816 51,050 46,623 51,314 ============== ============== ============== ============== Loss per common share - basic and diluted $ (0.02) $ (0.06) $ (0.13) $ (0.50) ============== ============== ============== ============== </Table> Options and warrants to purchase 9.7 million shares of common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 8.7 million shares of common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. 3. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION The Company accounts for all stock-based employee compensation plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," ("APB 25") and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's common shares at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the common shares. The Company generally grants options at prices equal to the market price of common shares on the date of the grant. However, if options are granted at a price below fair market value, compensation expense is recorded in accordance with the provisions of APB 25. Compensation expense may also be recognized 5 for certain options which are considered variable option grants. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - an Amendment to FAS 123," requires companies that continue to account for stock-based compensation in accordance with APB 25 to disclose certain information using tabular presentation as presented below. This table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", to stock-based employee compensation (in thousands, except per share amounts): <Table> <Caption> THREE MONTHS NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, --------------------- --------------------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 --------- --------- --------- --------- Net loss as reported $ (1,146) $ (2,941) $ (5,990) $ (25,831) Add: Stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net loss, net of related tax effects 79 -- 79 -- Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value method for all awards, net of related tax effects (1,674) (2,041) (4,669) (5,933) --------- --------- --------- --------- Pro forma net loss $ (2,741) $ (4,982) $ (10,580) $ (31,764) ========= ========= ========= ========= Loss per common share (basic and diluted): - - As reported $ (0.02) $ (0.06) $ (0.13) $ (0.50) - - Pro forma $ (0.06) $ (0.10) $ (0.23) $ (0.62) </Table> 4. RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS In January 2003, the Company approved a sales and marketing reorganization plan (the "2003 Restructuring Plan"). The cost of this plan totaled approximately $0.6 million and consisted primarily of (i) involuntary employee separation for approximately 20 employees (a reduction in workforce of approximately 4 percent), (ii) closing the Company's Netherlands sales office, and (iii) reserves for leasehold abandonment. The 2003 Restructuring Plan activity from January 1, 2003 to September 30, 2003 was as follows (in thousands): <Table> <Caption> REMAINING RESTRUCTURING CASH ACCRUAL CHARGES EXPENDITURES 9/30/2003 -------------- -------------- -------------- Employee severance ......... $ 442 $ (436) $ 6 Lease commitments .......... 27 (13) 14 Office closure costs ....... 80 (80) -- -------------- -------------- ------------- $ 549 $ (529) $ 20 ============== ============== ============= </Table> The Company expects all actions under the 2003 Restructuring Plan to be completed by December 2003. In July 2002, the Company approved a restructuring plan to improve operating efficiency and improve sales and marketing productivity (the "2002 Restructuring Plan"). The cost of this plan totaled approximately $1.9 million and consisted primarily of (i) involuntary employee separation for approximately 30 employees (a reduction in workforce of approximately 5 percent), (ii) closing the Company's Boston development center and certain European sales offices, (iii) reserves for leasehold abandonment, and (iv) various non-personnel related cuts. The 2002 Restructuring Plan activity from December 31, 2002 to September 30, 2003 was as follows (in thousands): 6 <Table> <Caption> REMAINING REMAINING ACCRUAL CASH ACCRUAL 12/31/2002 EXPENDITURES 9/30/2003 -------------- -------------- -------------- Employee severance ..... $ 238 $ (194) $ 44 Lease commitments ...... 944 (366) 578 -------------- -------------- -------------- $ 1,182 $ (560) $ 622 ============== ============== ============== </Table> In 2001, we completed a corporate reorganization and implemented a number of cost-cutting measures to improve operating efficiency and to accelerate our return to profitability. The cost of this plan totaled approximately $7.7 million and consisted primarily of: (i) involuntary employee separation expenses for approximately 160 employees (a reduction in workforce of approximately 21 percent), (ii) downsizing or closing of our Boston and Arlington development centers and certain of our European sales offices, (iii) reserves for leasehold abandonment, and (iv) various non-personnel related costs. The restructuring costs included a $1.2 million charge related to asset impairments of leasehold improvements, equipment and other assets of the closed or downsized offices. At December 31, 2002, the remaining accrual totaled $1.4 million, which related to an accrual for lease commitments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, approximately $0.1 million was charged against that accrual. 5. INCOME TAXES In 2002, the Company provided a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of $19.6 million in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Management remains optimistic about the future prospects of the Company's business and the industry and continues to believe that over time, as the market improves, the Company should generate sufficient taxable income to utilize a substantial portion of its net operating loss carryforwards. Until such time as a consistent pattern of sufficient profitability is established, no tax benefit will be recognized associated with the Company's pre-tax accounting losses and a full income tax provision will not be provided on any future pre-tax accounting income. 6. OPTION EXCHANGE PROGRAM In July 2003, the Company completed a voluntary exchange program whereby employees could surrender options to purchase the Company's common stock having an option price of $3.00 or over for a lesser number of new options at a price equal to the market price on the date of issuance. The program was initiated in November 2002 and during 2003, extended in a manner that enabled participants who previously surrendered their options with the opportunity to rescind their participation. Under this program, the Company issued options to purchase 0.3 million shares of common stock in exchange for approximately 0.7 million options which were surrendered by the employees and cancelled by the Company. Additionally, the Company issued annual stock option grants to employees who participated in the exchange program totaling 0.2 million options. For accounting purposes, these options are variable and for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the company recognized a compensation charge of approximately $0.1 million and at September 30, 2003, had deferred compensation expense related to these options of approximately $0.3 million, which will be amortized over the remaining vesting period of the options. Such amounts will increase or decrease dependent upon the value of the Company's stock until the related option is exercised or expires. As part of its annual option awards to employees, the Company also issued options to purchase approximately 0.3 million shares of the Company's common stock to employees who had exercised their rescission right and opted out of the exchange program referred to above. These options were issued in July 2003 at the same option price for employees who received their annual option award earlier in the year. Since the exercise price of these options was lower than the market price of the Company's stock at the date of issuance, the Company will recognize compensation expense of approximately $0.3 million over the four year vesting term, of which $0.1 million was recognized in the quarter ended September 30, 2003. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contain forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include those discussed in the "Cautionary Statements" set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as 7 amended, for the year ended December 31, 2002. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements included with this report and our consolidated financial statements and related Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended. OVERVIEW See discussion under Item 1, "General" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2002 for an overview of our business. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared with those disclosed in Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2002. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 REVENUES. Revenues for the current quarter were $15.6 million compared with $15.9 million for the third quarter of 2002. The decline in revenues was the result of a decrease in license revenues partially offset by a modest increase in service revenues. License revenues for the quarter were $7.4 million, compared with $8.5 million for the third quarter of 2002. This decline in license revenue was primarily due to lower productivity of certain sales regions and the timing of large transactions. The regions where productivity was lower were those in which significant personnel changes have been made in the last three to four months. The company expects performance of these regions to improve in the fourth quarter and to be on par with its other sales regions in early 2004. Service revenues for the quarter increased 9.5 percent to $8.2 million, from $7.5 million for the third quarter of 2002. The increase in services revenues was primarily due to maintenance renewals on an increasing base of licensed customers and an increase in professional services revenues. During the quarter, we closed fewer transactions over $130 thousand than the number closed in the third quarter of 2002. We consider transactions over $130 thousand as large and at this level will generally result in license revenues of $100 thousand or more. During the quarter, we closed 19 transactions over $130 thousand, having an average sales price of $284 thousand, compared with 24 transactions over $130 thousand in the third quarter of 2002, having an average sales price of $296 thousand. The fewer number of large transactions was due to the low productivity of certain sales regions and the timing of large transactions mentioned above. During the third quarter of 2003, revenues from our products for Microsoft-based platforms totaled $10.1 million, a decrease of 8 percent over the third quarter of 2002. Revenues from these products accounted for approximately 65 percent of total revenues in the current quarter, down from 68 percent of total revenues for the same quarter in the prior year. Revenues from our products for Novell-based platforms for the current quarter were $3.0 million, or 20 percent of total revenues, compared with $3.5 million in the third quarter of 2002, or 22 percent of total revenues. Sales of our security focused bv-Control product line accounted for approximately 84 percent of our license revenue in the current quarter compared with 79 percent in the third quarter of 2002. Sales of our system administration focused bv-Admin product line accounted for approximately 16 percent of our license revenue in the third quarter of 2003 compared with 21 percent in the third quarter of 2002. No customer accounted for more than 10 percent of our revenues in the third quarter of 2003 or 2002. Revenues recognized from sales to customers outside North America, primarily in Europe, accounted for approximately 8 percent of total revenues in the current quarter down from 9 percent in the third quarter of 2002. 8 GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the current quarter totaled $13.5 million, which was down from $14.4 million in the third quarter of 2002. The decrease in gross profit primarily related to the decline in license revenues. Gross margin for the current quarter was 86.5 percent, down from 90.1 percent in the third quarter of 2002. This decline primarily related to a shift in business mix toward services revenues, which have a lower gross margin than license revenues, and an increase in technical support staff to improve the level of support provided to our customer base. OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES. Operating costs and expenses for the current quarter totaled $14.7 million, down from $17.5 million for the third quarter of 2002, which included a restructuring and asset impairment charge of $1.9 million. Excluding the $1.9 million charge in the third quarter of 2002, operating costs and expenses were approximately $0.9 million, or 6 percent, lower in the third quarter of 2003 due to improvements in our operating efficiency. Sales and marketing expenses for the current quarter were $8.3 million, down from $8.7 million for the third quarter of 2002. The reduction in sales and marketing expenses primarily relates to actions taken to improve sales efficiency and marketing effectiveness during the first quarter of 2003 and lower commissions and incentive based compensation on lower sales volume. We expect sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenues to be lower in the fourth quarter of 2003 due to anticipated revenue growth. Research and development expenses for the current quarter were $4.6 million, down from $5.0 million for the third quarter of 2002. This decrease primarily related to the transferring of development responsibilities for certain of our legacy products from Houston, Texas to our lower cost development center in Pune, India. General and administrative expenses for the current quarter were $1.9 million, down from $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2002. We expect future general and administrative expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenues as a result of our restructuring initiatives to date to improve operating efficiencies, as well as anticipated revenue growth. In January 2003, the Company approved a sales and marketing reorganization plan (the "2003 Restructuring Plan"). The cost of this plan totaled approximately $0.6 million and consisted primarily of (i) involuntary employee separation for approximately 20 employees (a reduction in workforce of approximately 4 percent), (ii) closing the Company's Netherlands sales office, and (iii) reserves for leasehold abandonment. The 2003 Restructuring Plan activity from January 1, 2003 to September 30, 2003 was as follows (in thousands): <Table> <Caption> REMAINING RESTRUCTURING CASH ACCRUAL CHARGES EXPENDITURES 9/30/2003 -------------- -------------- -------------- Employee severance ......... $ 442 $ (436) $ 6 Lease commitments .......... 27 (13) 14 Office closure costs ....... 80 (80) -- -------------- -------------- -------------- $ 549 $ (529) $ 20 ============== ============== ============== </Table> The Company expects all actions under the 2003 Restructuring Plan to be completed by December 2003.

The cost of this plan totaled approximately $1.9 million and consisted primarily of (i) involuntary employee separation for approximately 30 employees (a reduction in workforce of approximately 5 percent), (ii) closing the Company's Boston development center and certain European sales offices, (iii) reserves for leasehold abandonment, and (iv) various non-personnel related cuts. The 2002 Restructuring Plan activity from December 31, 2002 to September 30, 2003 was as follows (in thousands): 9 <Table> <Caption> REMAINING REMAINING ACCRUAL CASH ACCRUAL 12/31/2002 EXPENDITURES 9/30/2003 -------------- -------------- ------------- Employee severance ..... $ 238 $ (194) $ 44 Lease commitments ...... 944 (366) 578 -------------- -------------- ------------- $ 1,182 $ (560) $ 622 ============== ============== ============= </Table> In 2001, we completed a corporate reorganization and implemented a number of cost-cutting measures to improve operating efficiency and to accelerate our return to profitability. The cost of this plan totaled approximately $7.7 million and consisted primarily of: (i) involuntary employee separation expenses for approximately 160 employees (a reduction in workforce of approximately 21 percent), (ii) downsizing or closing of our Boston and Arlington development centers and certain of our European sales offices, (iii) reserves for leasehold abandonment, and (iv) various non-personnel related costs. The restructuring costs included a $1.2 million charge related to asset impairments of leasehold improvements, equipment and other assets of the closed or downsized offices. At December 31, 2002, the remaining accrual totaled $1.4 million, which related to an accrual for lease commitments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, approximately $0.1 million was charged against that accrual. NET LOSS. Due to the factors described above, net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 was $1.1 million compared with $2.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002. OUTLOOK. We expect revenues for the fourth quarter of 2003 to range between $19.5 million and $23.5 million. At these revenue levels, the Company expects to generate positive operating income and cash flows and net income ranging between $0.5 million, or $0.01 per share, and $4.2 million, or $0.09 per share. The Company's ability to achieve or exceed these estimates will depend on continued improvement in the Company's sales execution and the timing of large transactions currently in the working sales pipeline. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 COMPARED WITH THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 REVENUES. Revenues for the first nine months of 2003 decreased 8.0 percent to $43.9 million, from $47.8 million for the first nine months of 2002. The year-over-year decline related to the decrease in license sales, partially offset by increased services revenues. License revenues for the first nine months of 2003 were $19.9 million compared with $25.6 million in the first nine months of 2002. This decline was due to: (i) lower overall sales efficiency particularly in the first quarter due to the effects of major organizational and go-to-market changes in our sales department, (ii) fewer large transactions being closed during the first nine months of 2003, and (iii) customer budget and spending sensitivities, which we believe were driven by the weak economic outlook. Service revenues increased to $24.0 million, from $22.1 million for the first nine months of 2002. The increase in services revenues was primarily due to maintenance renewals on an increasing base of licensed customers and an increase in professional services revenues. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, we closed 49 transactions over $130 thousand, having an average sales price of $280 thousand, compared with 57 transactions over $130 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2002, having an average sales price of $301 thousand. The fewer number of large transactions was due to the low productivity of certain sales regions and the timing of large transactions mentioned above. GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the first nine months of 2003 totaled $38.5 million, which was down from $43.0 million in the first nine months of 2002. The decrease in gross profit primarily related to the decline in license revenues. Gross margin for the first nine months was 87.6 percent, down from 90.0 percent in the first nine months of 2002. This decline primarily related to a shift in business mix toward services revenues, which have a lower gross margin than license revenues and an increase in technical support staff to improve the level of support provided to our customer base. OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES. Operating costs and expenses for the first nine months of 2003 totaled $44.8 million, down from $51.2 million for the first nine months of 2002. Excluding the restructuring charge of $0.5 million in 2003 and the restructuring and asset impairment charge of $1.9 million in 2002, operating costs and expenses were approximately $5.0 million, or 10 percent, lower for the first nine months of 2003 due to improvements in our operating efficiency. 10 Sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $25.3 million, down from $28.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 primarily related to actions taken to improve sales efficiency and marketing effectiveness and lower commissions and incentive based compensation. We expect sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenues to be lower in the fourth quarter of 2003 due to anticipated revenue growth. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $13.4 million, down from $14.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This decrease primarily related to the transferring of development responsibilities for certain of our legacy products from Houston, Texas to our lower cost development center in Pune, India. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $5.6 million, down from $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. We expect future general and administrative expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenues as a result of our restructuring initiatives to date to improve operating efficiencies, as well as anticipated revenue growth. Restructuring and asset impairment charges were $0.5 and $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. (See discussion above within Results of Operation for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002) OTHER INCOME. Other income totaled $0.3 million and $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In 2002, other income was primarily comprised of a receipt of a $1.3 million settlement in the first quarter of 2002 of a business interruption claim related to flooding that occurred in June 2001. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. We provided a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets of $19.6 million in the second quarter of 2002. As required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", we continued our assessments of the realization of our deferred tax assets and as a result, concluded that a full valuation allowance was appropriate at June 30, 2002. Until such time as a consistent pattern of sufficient profitability is established, no tax benefit will be recognized associated with our pre-tax accounting losses and a full income tax provision will not be provided on any future pre-tax accounting income. NET LOSS. Due to the factors described above, net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $6.0 million compared with $25.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our capital requirements have principally related to working capital needs and capital expenditures. These requirements have been met through a combination of issuances of securities and internally generated funds. We had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $35.2 million at September 30, 2003 compared with $37.8 million at December 31, 2002. Our working capital has decreased $4.0 million since December 31, 2002 to $22.3 million at September 30, 2003 primarily due to our operating loss generated in 2003 and capital expenditures. At September 30, 2003, we had no outstanding debt. Cash flows used in operating activities were $2.1 million in the first nine months of 2003 compared with $1.5 million in the first nine months of 2002. The increase in cash used in operating activities in 2003 was primarily due to an increase in our net operating loss before restructuring and asset impairment charges. Cash flows (used in) provided by investing activities were $(1.5) million used in the first nine months of 2003 compared with $0.7 million generated in the first nine months of 2002. The change in cash flows associated with investing activities primarily related to a $3.3 million decrease in proceeds generated from the maturity of investments. Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2003 were $1.5 million compared with $2.6 million for the first nine months of 2002. Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2002 reflected investments in excess of $1.0 million in our customer relationship management systems made in order to enhance sales force efficiency. 11 Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities were $0.7 million generated in the first nine months of 2003 compared with $(1.2) million used in the first nine months of 2002. Cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of 2003 was due to $0.7 million in proceeds from employee purchases of common stock under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Cash provided by (used in) financing activities during the first nine months of 2002 was the result of (i) $0.6 million in proceeds from employee purchases of common stock through our Employee Stock Purchase Plan and (ii) $(1.8) million in cash used to repurchase 1.9 million shares of our common stock. We conduct operations in leased facilities under operating leases expiring at various dates through 2011. The contractual obligations under these lease commitments were comprised of the following as of September 30, 2003: <Table> <Caption> CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION TOTAL 2003 2004 -- 2006 2007 - 2008 2009 AND BEYOND -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- --------------- Operating leases ................. $ 32,049 $ 1,343 $ 14,073 $ 8,930 $ 7,703 Sub-leasing arrangements* ........

Anticipated cash receipts from these sub-lease arrangements have been taken into account when deriving expected cash outflow on operating lease commitments. Our expected principal uses of cash for the remainder of 2003 are: (i) capital expenditures between $0.1 million and $0.5 million, primarily for computer and software equipment, (ii) working capital requirements, if any, and (iii) net payments on operating leases of approximately $1.0 million. We believe there is sufficient cash on hand to meet these cash requirements, as well as our cash requirements for the foreseeable future. ITEM 3.
