Page 33 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Overview The Company was founded in April 1983 to develop, market and support customer management software solutions for financial services organizations. Product development began immediately and by the end of the year the Company had secured its first customer. The Company's revenue is derived from two sources: software license fees and services revenue. License fees, which have historically represented the majority of the Company's total revenue, are generally payable on a monthly basis under license agreements which typically have a five-year term and may be extended at the customer's option for an additional fixed period. Such license agreements are generally non-cancellable, although some may be terminated by the licensee for a fee prior to the expiration of the initial term but after a minimum specified period. The Company's licenses generally provide for annual license fee increases (the "inflation adjustments") based on recognized inflation indexes (sometimes subject to maximums). The Company believes that both it and its customers derive substantial benefits from the recurring fee model because it encourages the Company to be responsive to customer needs and provides the Company with additional revenue opportunities through license renewals. License revenue is generally recognized upon product acceptance. In the case of license agreement renewals or extensions, revenue is recognized upon execution of the renewal or the extension. The inflation adjustments are recognized ratably over the periods to which they apply. The amount of software license revenue recognized upon product acceptance or license renewal is equal to the present value of the payments due during the minimum initial or renewal term, as the case may be, plus the present value of any early termination fee. In 1995, and the three months ended March 31, 1996, the discount rate for purposes of the present value calculation was 7%; for the nine months ended December 31, 1996, such discount rate was 6.75%. Commencing with the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company established and intends to continue to establish the discount rate quarterly as a function of the Company's current marginal borrowing rate. In 1997, the discount rate for purposes of the present value calculation was 7%. The imputed interest portion of the license fees, which is reported as license interest income in the Company's consolidated statements of income, is recognized over the minimum initial or the renewal term, as the case may be. To date, a substantial majority of the Company's software licenses have been renewed upon expiration. The fact that a portion of the Company's revenue is derived from the renewal of license agreements with fixed expiration dates assists the Company in anticipating future revenue. The Company's services revenue is comprised of fees for implementation, consulting, maintenance and training services. Software license customers are offered the ability to enter into a maintenance contract requiring the customer to pay a monthly maintenance fee over the term of the related license agreement typically equal to approximately 18% of the license fee. Maintenance fees are recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement. The Company's software implementation agreements typically require the Company to provide a specified level of implementation services for a fixed fee, typically with additional implementation services available at an hourly rate. Implementation fees are payable upon the achievement of specified milestones. The Company generally recognizes implementation as well as consulting and training fees as the services are provided. The Company's export revenue has fluctuated considerably in the past due to the fact that such revenue has been largely attributable to a small number of product acceptances during a given period. Export revenue declined from $3.9 million to $2.3 million in 1995 due to the lack of large product acceptances during the year. In 1996, export revenue increased to $5.9 million, as a result of new customers in the European marketplace. In 1997, export revenue increased to $7.3 million as a result of new product acceptances and license renewals in Europe, Canada and Mexico. Most of the Company's contracts are denominated in U.S. dollars, although several are denominated in other currencies, primarily British pounds sterling. The Company expects that in the future more of its contracts will be denominated in foreign currencies. The Company has not experienced any significant foreign exchange gains or losses, and the Company does not expect that foreign currency fluctuations will significantly affect either its revenue or costs in the near term. Page 34 The Company's business has experienced and is expected to continue to experience significant seasonality. Historically, the Company has recognized a greater percentage of its revenue in its third and fourth quarters than in its first and second quarters due to the Company's sales commission structure and the impact of that structure on the timing of product acceptances and license renewals by customers. This pattern is reinforced by the Company's maintenance contracts, which generally entitle customers to, among other things, a fixed number of hours of service per calendar year. Once the annual allotment of service hours is exhausted, customers pay for additional services on an hourly basis, typically resulting in higher services revenue in the Company's second, third, and fourth quarters. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth for the years indicated the percentage of total revenue represented by certain items reflected in the Statements of Income of the Company: Years Ended December 31, ------------------------------------------------------------ 1995 1996 1997 ------------ ------------ --------------- (as a percentage of total revenue) Revenue: Software license 60.8% 66.4% 64.6% Services 39.2 33.6 35.4 ------------ ------------ --------------- Total revenue 100.0 100.0 100.0 ------------ ------------ --------------- Cost of revenue: Cost of software license 2.9 1.4 0.6 Cost of services 27.7 20.8 26.5 ------------ ------------ --------------- Total cost of revenue 30.6 22.2 27.1 ------------ ------------ --------------- Gross profit 69.4 77.8 72.9 ------------ ------------ --------------- Operating expenses: Research and development 31.7 24.5 34.1 Selling and marketing 16.1 17.9 39.4 General and administrative 6.9 5.5 7.0 ------------ ------------ --------------- Total operating expenses 54.7 47.9 80.5 ------------ ------------ --------------- Income (loss) from operations 14.7 29.9 (7.6) License interest income 6.7 4.7 4.0 Other interest income 0.1 1.8 7.5 Interest expense (0.5) (0.3) -- ------------ ------------ --------------- Income before provision for income taxes 21.0 36.1 3.9 Provision for income taxes 7.9 13.7 1.5 ============ ============ =============== Net income 13.1% 22.4% 2.4% ============ ============ =============== Page 35 YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 The Company restated its consolidated financial statements for the unaudited quarters ended March 31, 1997, June 30, 1997, and September 30, 1997. The restatements reflect changes in the timing of revenue recognition and expense on certain contracts and increased reserves for revenue and doubtful accounts. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary to correct the financial statements have been made. Revenue Total revenue for 1997 increased 32.2% to $44.4 million from $33.5 million for 1996. The increase was primarily due to an increase in software license revenue. Software license revenue for 1997 increased 28.7% to $28.7 million from $22.3 million for 1996. The increase in software license revenue was primarily attributable to software license acceptances by new customers, software license agreement renewals, expanded software usage by existing customers, the licensing of standard product templates, and inflation-based increases in monthly license fees. Services revenue for 1997 increased 39.1% to $15.7 million from $11.3 million for 1996. The increase in services revenue was primarily attributable to increased demand for implementation and consulting services. Cost of Revenue Cost of software license consists of amortization expense related to stock warrant and capitalized software costs, royalty payments to third party software vendors, and costs of product media, duplication and packaging. Cost of software license for 1997 decreased 46.4% to $0.3 million from $0.5 million for 1996, and decreased as a percentage of total revenue from 1.4% for 1996 to 0.6% for 1997. As a percentage of software license revenue, cost of software license decreased from 2.1% for 1996 to 0.9% for 1997. Such decreases were due to decreased amortization of purchased software costs partially offset by the costs associated with a stock purchase warrant issued by the Company in June 1997, which cost is being amortized through December 31, 2002. Cost of services consists primarily of the costs of providing implementation, consulting, maintenance, and training services. Cost of services for 1997 increased 68.9% to $11.8 million from $7.0 million for 1996. Cost of services as a percentage of total revenue increased from 20.8% for 1996 to 26.6% for 1997, and increased as a percentage of services revenue from 61.8% for 1996 to 75.0% for 1997. These increases in cost of services were mainly due to increased staffing in the Company's Client Services group worldwide. Operating Expenses Research and development expenses consist primarily of the cost of personnel and equipment needed to conduct the Company's research and development efforts. Research and development expenses for 1997 increased 83.8% to $15.1 million from $8.2 million for 1996. The increase in research and development expenses was due to the hiring of additional development personnel as well as the depreciation of purchased capitalized software. As a percentage of total revenue, research and development expenses increased from 24.5% for 1996 to 34.0% for 1997. The Company has been increasing spending on sales and marketing more rapidly then increases in development and intends to continue a strategy of leveraging existing product functionality by balancing its historical focus on research and development with an increased emphasis on sales and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses for 1997 increased 191.4% to $17.5 million from $6.0 million for 1996. As a percentage of total revenue, selling and marketing expenses increased from 17.9% for 1996 to 39.4% for 1997 as the Company invested in building its sales force. Such increases were attributable to the hiring of additional direct sales and marketing personnel, increased sales commission payments attributable to higher sales, and increased investment Page 36 in marketing support activities and materials. During 1997, the Company continued to build its sales and marketing infrastructure in its domestic and international offices. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of the salaries of the Company's executive, administrative and financial personnel, and associated expenses. General and administrative expenses for 1997 increased 68.2% to $3.1 million from $1.9 million for 1996 due to increased investment in the infrastructure needed to support the Company's growth. Such expenses increased as a percentage of total revenue from 5.5% for 1996 to 7.0% for 1997 due to the Company's investment in infrastructure. License Interest Income License interest income represents the portion of all license fees due under software license agreements which was not recognized upon product acceptance or license renewal. License interest income for 1997 increased 14.3% to $1.8 million from $1.6 million for 1996 reflecting a larger installed product base. Provision for Income Taxes The provisions for federal, state and foreign taxes were $4.6 million and $0.7 million for 1996 and 1997, respectively. The effective tax rates were 38.1% for 1996 and 38.0% for 1997. At December 31, 1997, the Company had $9.1 million in net operating loss and research and development tax credit carryforwards available to offset future federal taxable income. See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 Revenue Total revenue for 1996 increased 50.8% to $33.5 million from $22.2 million for 1995. The increase was primarily due to an increase in software license revenue. Software license revenue for 1996 increased 64.5% to $22.3 million from $13.5 million in 1995. The increase in software license revenue was primarily attributable to software license acceptances by new customers, software license agreement renewals, expanded software usage by existing customers, the licensing of standard product templates, and inflation-based increases in monthly license fees. Services revenue for 1996 increased 29.5% to $11.3 million from $8.7 million for 1995. The increase in services revenue was primarily attributable to increased demand for consulting and implementation services, and to a lesser extent, increased maintenance revenue from a larger installed product base. Cost of Revenue Cost of software license for 1996 decreased 24.9% to $0.5 million from $0.6 million for 1995, and decreased as a percentage of total revenue from 2.9% for 1995 to 1.4% for 1996. As a percentage of software license revenue, cost of software license decreased from 4.7% for 1995 to 2.1% for 1996. Such decreases were due to decreased amortization expense related to capitalized software development costs. No software development costs were capitalized in 1995 or 1996. Cost of services for 1996 increased 13.2% to $7.0 million from $6.2 million for 1995, mainly due to increased staffing in the Company's Reengineering and Client Services group in the United Kingdom and in the Company's domestic regional offices to meet growing client commitments. Cost of services as a percentage of total revenue declined from 27.7% for 1995 to 20.8% for 1996, and declined as a percentage of services revenue from 70.7% for 1995 to 61.8% for 1996, in both cases due to the growth in the Company's total revenue and increased utilization of service personnel. Page 37 Operating Expenses Research and development expenses for 1996 increased 16.4% to $8.2 million from $7.1 million for 1995. The increase in research and development expenses was due to the hiring of additional development personnel. As a percentage of total revenue, research and development expenses declined from 31.7% for 1995 to 24.5% for 1996, reflecting the Company's strategy of leveraging existing product functionality by balancing its historical focus on research and development with an increased emphasis on sales and marketing. In addition, research and development expenses declined as a percentage of total revenue due to the growth in the Company's total revenue. Selling and marketing expenses for 1996 increased 67.0% to $6.0 million from $3.6 million for 1995. As a percentage of total revenue, selling and marketing expenses increased from 16.1% for 1995 to 17.9% for 1996. Such increases were attributable to the hiring of additional direct sales and marketing personnel, increased sales commission payments attributable to higher sales, and increased investment in marketing support activities and materials. General and administrative expenses for 1996 increased 20.5% to $1.9 million from $1.5 million for 1995 due to increased investment in the infrastructure needed to support the Company's growth. Such expenses declined as a percentage of total revenue from 6.9% for 1995 to 5.5% for 1996 due to the growth in the Company's total revenue. License Interest Income License interest income for 1996 increased 5.3% to $1.6 million from $1.5 million for 1995, reflecting a larger installed product base. Provision for Income Taxes The provisions for federal, state and foreign taxes were $1.8 million and $4.6 million for 1995 and 1996, respectively. The effective tax rates were 38.0% for 1995 and 38.1% for 1996. At December 31, 1996, the Company had $0.8 million in research and development tax credit carryforwards available to offset future federal taxable income. See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Page 38 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Since its inception, the Company had funded its operations primarily through cash flow from operations and bank borrowings. In July 1996, the Company issued and sold 2.7 million shares of Common Stock in connection with its initial public offering. Net proceeds to the Company from such offering were approximately $29.4 million. In January 1997, the Company issued and sold 1.8 million shares of Common Stock in connection with a second public offering. Net proceeds to the Company from such second public offering were approximately $51.9 million. At December 31, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $52.0 million and working capital of approximately $62.7 million. The Company's approach of charging license fees payable in installments over the term of its licenses has historically deferred the receipt of cash and, prior to its initial public offering, had limited the availability of working capital. Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $0.8 million. Net cash used in operating activities for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997 was $2.9 million and $10.0 million, respectively. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to a reduction in net income, and an increase in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets. Net cash used by investing activities for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 was $1.4 million, $2.0 million and $14.5 million, respectively. This cash was used mainly to support the purchase of development software, in addition to the purchase of property and equipment consisting mainly of computer hardware and software and furniture and fixtures to support the Company's growing employee base. Page 39 Net cash provided by financing activities for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 was $0.7 million, $28.5 million and $52.6 million, respectively. This cash was provided mainly as a result of the Company completing an initial public stock offering in 1996 and a second public stock offering in 1997. The Company's capital commitments consist primarily of operating leases for office space and equipment. At December 31, 1997, the Company's commitments under non-cancellable operating leases for office space with terms in excess of one year totaled $1.6 million, $0.8 million and $0.3 million for 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively. The Company's total payments under such leases was $1.1 million, $1.4 million and $3.0 million for 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company's $5.0 million revolving credit line, which expired on June 30, 1997, was renewed with the same bank and has a maturity date of June 30, 1999. At December 31, 1997, the Company had no borrowings under such facility. The Company's credit agreement prohibits the payment of dividends, has profitability requirements and requires maintenance of specified levels of tangible net worth and certain financial ratios. The Company intends to renegotiate the term and the covenant requirements under the existing line of credit with the same bank. See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company recorded bad debt expense in the amounts of $0.8 million, $0.3 million and $1.9 million in 1995, 1996, and 1997, respectively, as a result of indications that certain receivables relating primarily to consulting and installation services rendered by the Company would not be collected in full. The Company believes that the net proceeds from its initial public offering in July of 1996, and its second public offering which was completed in January of 1997, together with cash generated by operations and availability under its bank credit facility will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations for at least the next year. However, there can be no assurance that additional capital beyond the amounts currently forecasted by the Company will not be required or that any such required additional capital will be available on reasonable terms, if at all, at such time as required by the Company. INFLATION Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's operating results to date, nor does the Company expect it to have a significant impact in the future due to the fact that the Company's license and maintenance fees are typically subject to annual increases based on recognized inflation indexes. SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS In 1995, the Company had three customers that accounted for 16.2%, 14.9% and 12.6%, respectively, of the Company's consolidated revenue. In 1996, the Company had three customers that accounted for 14.5%, 11.4% and 10.5%, respectively, of the Company's consolidated revenue. In 1997, the Company had two customers that accounted for 13.7% and 10.0%, respectively, of the Company's consolidated revenue.

Page 44 PEGASYSTEMS INC. - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - December 31, 1997 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a.) Business Pegasystems Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on April 21, 1983 and develops customer service management software used by large, transaction-intensive organizations to automate and manage their customer interactions. Customers of the Company include large banks and credit card processors and mutual fund companies and more recently major companies in non-financial service industries. The Company also offers consulting, training, and maintenance and support services to facilitate the installation and use of its solutions. The environment of rapid technological change and intense competition which is characteristic of the software development industry results in frequent new products and evolving industry standards. The Company's continued success depends upon its ability to penetrate vertical markets, enhance current products and develop new products on a timely basis that keep pace with the changes in technology and competitors' innovations. International revenue is subject to various risks, including imposition of government controls, export license requirements, political and economic conditions and instability, trade restrictions, currency fluctuations, changes in taxes, difficulties in staffing and managing international operations, and high local wage scales and other operating costs and expenses. (b.) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Pegasystems Limited, Pegasystems Investment Inc., Pegasystems Worldwide Inc., and Pegasystems Pty Ltd. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. (c.) Foreign Currency Translation The translation of assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiaries is made at year-end rates of exchange, while revenue and expense accounts are recorded at the average rates of exchange. The resulting translation adjustments are excluded from net income and are charged or credited to "Cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment" included as part of stockholders' equity. Realized and unrealized exchange gains or losses from transaction adjustments are reflected in operations and are not material. (d.) Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 91-1, "Software Revenue Recognition," issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Specifically, revenue from software licenses is generally recognized upon product acceptance pursuant to non-cancellable license agreements and is based on management's assessment that the collectibility on the long-term license installments is probable. Upon acceptance, the Company has no significant vendor obligations. The Company accrues the estimated cost of warranty and product returns in the period in which product revenue is recognized; historically these amounts have not been material. In the case of license agreement renewals or extensions, revenue is recognized upon execution of the renewal or the extension. Maintenance fees are recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement. The Company recognizes implementation as well as consulting and training fees as the services are provided. Page 45 Beginning in 1998, the Company will be required to adopt the provisions of SOP 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition." The adoption of the statement is not estimated to have a significant impact on the Company. Software license revenue represents the present value of future payments under non-cancellable license agreements which provide for payment in installments, typically over a five-year period. A portion of the revenue from each agreement is recognized as interest income over the term of the agreement. The discount rate in effect for 1995 and the three months ended March 31, 1996 was 7%. The discount rate for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1996 was 6.75%. In 1997, the discount rate for purposes of the present value calculation was 7%. The trade and installment accounts receivable recorded on the balance sheet are net of $5.1 million and $6.8 million as of December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively, which represents the imputed interest portion of future payments due under the Company's license agreements. Deferred revenue represents payments from customers, primarily for maintenance services, which are recognized as revenue as the related services are performed. (e.) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market, and consist of short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. (f.) Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of substantially all of the trade accounts receivable and long-term license installments receivable. The Company records long-term license installments in accordance with its revenue recognition policy, which results in receivables from customers (primarily large financial service organizations with strong credit ratings). (g.) Equipment and Improvements Equipment and improvements are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are three years for equipment and five years for furniture and fixtures. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease. (h.) Software Costs In compliance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed," certain software costs are capitalized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Capitalization of software costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility, defined by the Company as a working model or an operative version of the computer software product that is completed in the same language and is capable of running on all of the platforms as the product to be ultimately marketed. No costs were capitalized during 1995, 1996, or 1997. Amortization of capitalized software costs are included in cost of software license revenue. Total amortization expense charged to cost of software was $0.6 million and $0.5 million during 1995 and 1996, respectively. No amortization expense for capitalized software costs was charged to software license revenue in 1997. Page 46 (i.) Net Income Per Share The Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," effective December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 128 establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock. In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 98, the Company has determined that there were no nominal issuances of common stock or potential common stock in the period prior to the Company's initial public offering (IPO). The Company has applied the provisions of SFAS No. 128 and SAB No. 98 retroactively to all periods presented. Calculations of basic and diluted net income per share and potential common share are as follows: Years Ended December 31, 1995 1996 1997 ---------- --------- ------------ (in thousands, except per share data) Basic Net income $ 2,878 $7,500 $ 1,085 ========== ========= ============ Weighted average common shares outstanding 23,490 24,802 28,284 ========== ========= ============ Basic earnings per share $ 0.12 $ 0.30 $0.04 ========== ========= ============ Diluted Net income $ 2,878 $7,500 $ 1,085 ========== ========= ============ Weighted average common shares outstanding 23,490 24,802 28,284 Effect of: Assumed exercise of stock options 253 1,595 1,984 ---------- --------- ------------ Weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution 23,743 26,397 30,268 ========== ========= ============ Diluted earnings per share $ 0.12 $ 0.28 $ 0.04 ========== ========= ============ As of December 31, 1995, no outstanding options were excluded from the weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution. As of December 31, 1996 and 1997, 7,201 options and 185,481 options, respectively, were excluded from the weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. (j.) New Accounting Standards In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 requires disclosure of all components of comprehensive income on an annual and interim basis. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from nonowner sources. SFAS No. 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 requires certain financial and supplemental information to be disclosed on an annual and interim basis for each reportable segment of an enterprise. SFAS No. 131 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Page 47 (k.) Stock Options The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the shares at the date of the grant. The Company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and intends to continue to do so. During 1995, the Company granted stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees with an exercise price less than the then fair market value of the shares at the date of the grant. For the difference between the fair market value and the exercise price, the Company recorded deferred compensation in the consolidated statements of stockholders' equity, which is being expensed over the vesting period. The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions only of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and will continue to account for its stock option plans in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Statement No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." (l.) Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 2. EQUIPMENT AND IMPROVEMENTS The cost and accumulated depreciation of equipment and improvements consist of the following: (in thousands) December 31, ------------------------------------ 1996 1997 ----------- ------------ Equipment $3,956 $7,243 Furniture and fixtures 1,005 1,895 Leasehold improvements 527 838 ----------- ------------ 5,488 9,976 Less: accumulated depreciation (2,453) (4,398) =========== ============ Equipment and improvements, net $3,035 $5,578 =========== ============ Depreciation expense was approximately $0.8 million, $1.2 million and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Page 48 3. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES Accounts payable and accrued expenses consist of the following: December 31, ------------------------------- (in thousands) 1996 1997 ------------ ------------ Trade accounts payable $ 692 $ 863 Employee compensation and benefits 1,257 1,332 Accrued income taxes 160 754 Other accrued expenses 588 1,114 Sales return reserve -- 961 Accrued consulting costs -- 374 ============ ============ $ 2,697 $ 5,398 ============ ============ 4. DEBT The Company had no outstanding long-term debt at December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1997. As of December 31, 1997, the Company had a line of credit with a bank allowing for borrowings up to $5.0 million at the prime rate which will expire on June 30, 1999. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under the line of credit at December 31, 1997. Borrowings are subject to various covenants which call for a specified level of working capital and net worth, maintenance of certain financial ratios and restrictions on the payments of dividends. As of December 31, 1997, the Company was in compliance with all covenants, except for the profitability financial covenant, for which the Company received a non-compliance waiver. 5. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (a.) Secondary Public Offering On January 28, 1997, the Company issued and sold 1.8 million shares of common stock in connection with its second public offering. Net proceeds to the Company from this offering were approximately $51.9 million. (b.) Recapitalization and Stock Split On July 10, 1996, the Company increased the number of shares of common stock authorized from 9.0 million to 45.0 million shares. The Company's Board of Directors approved a three-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend effective on July 10, 1996. The financial statements give effect to the stock split for all periods presented. Page 49 The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to certain limitations prescribed by law, without further stockholder approval, to issue from time to time up to an aggregate 1.0 million shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix or alter the designations, preferences, rights and any qualifying limitations or restrictions of the shares of each such series thereof, including the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemptions (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any shares or designations of such series. (c.) Long-Term Incentive Plan In 1994, the Company adopted a Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "1994 Plan") to provide employees, directors and consultants with opportunities to purchase stock through incentive stock options and through options that do not qualify as incentive stock options. In addition to options, eligible participants under the 1994 Plan may be granted stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and long-term performance awards. As of December 31, 1997, a total of 5.0 million shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 1994 Plan. The option price per share is determined at the date of grant. For incentive stock options, the option price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the grant date. Incentive stock options granted to a person having greater than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock must have an exercise price of at least 110% of fair market value of the Company's common stock. Options granted under the 1994 Plan generally vest over five years and expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. (d.) 1996 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan The 1996 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the "Director Plan") was adopted by the Board of Directors on May 13, 1996 and approved by the stockholders on June 26, 1996. The Director Plan provides for the grant of options for the purchase of up to 250,000 shares of common stock of the Company. As of December 31, 1997, options to purchase 90,000 shares were outstanding under the Director Plan but no shares had been issued under the plan. The Director Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee and provides that each person who becomes a director of the Company after May 13, 1996, and who is not also an employee of the Company, will receive upon initial election to the Board of Directors an option to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock vesting in equal annual installments over five years. The exercise price for all options granted under the Director Plan is equal to the market price of the common stock as of the date of grant. (e.) 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan The 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Stock Purchase Plan") was adopted by the Board of Directors on May 13, 1996 and approved by the stockholders on June 26, 1996. An aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance pursuant to this plan. To date, there have been no offerings under the Stock Purchase Plan and no shares of common stock have been issued thereunder. Page 50 The following table presents the combined activity of the two option plans from which options have been granted during the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997: 1995 1996 1997 ---------------------------- -------------------------- ------------------------------ Number Weighted Number Weighted Number Weighted of Average of Average of Average Options Exercise Options Exercise Options Exercise (in thousands) Price (in thousands) Price (in thousands) Price --------------- ---------- -------------------------- ---------------- ------------ Outstanding options at beginning of year 1,672 $ 0.33 1,924 $ 0.34 $2,582 $ 5.04 Granted 335 $ 0.39 993 $13.19 1,214 $22.79 Exercised -- $ -- (202) $ 0.33 (316) $ 2.03 Cancelled (83) $ 0.48 (133) $ 4.94 (381) $20.52 -------- ------ ------- ------ ------- ------- Outstanding options at end of year 1,924 $ 0.34 2,582 $ 5.04 3,099 $10.40 ======== ====== ======= ====== ======= ====== Exercisable options at end of year 606 $ 0.33 679 $ 0.33 822 $ 2.13 ======== ====== ======= ====== ======== ====== Weighted average fair value of options granted $ 0.09 $ 8.84 $11.38 during the year ====== ====== ======= In December 1995, the Company granted options to purchase 335,250 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.39 per share. The Company recorded an increase to additional paid-in capital and a corresponding charge to deferred compensation in the amount of $91,000 to recognize the aggregate difference between the deemed fair value for accounting purposes of the stock options at the date of grant and the exercise price. The deferred compensation will be amortized over the option vesting period of five years. The following table presents weighted average price and life information about significant option groups outstanding at December 31, 1997: Options Outstanding Options Exercisable -------------------------------------- ------------------------ Weighted Average Weighted Weighted Number Remaining Average Number Average Outstanding Contractual Exercise Exercisable Exercise (in thousands) Life (years) Price (in thousands) Price ------------- ----------- -------- ------------- --------- Range of exercise prices $0.33 - $ 0.39 1,303 7.18 $ 0.34 698 $ 0.33 $6.00 - $10.00 615 8.37 $ 9.64 78 $10.00 $12.50 - $18.25 549 9.06 $17.37 46 $16.17 $20.56 - $31.88 632 9.51 $25.83 -- -- ----- --- 3,099 822 ===== === 51 Pursuant to the requirements of SFAS 123, the following are the pro forma net income and net income per share for 1995, 1996 and 1997, as if the compensation expense for the option plans had been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for grants in 1995, 1996 and 1997, consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123: 1995 1996 1997 ------------------------ ------------------------- ---------------------------- As Pro As Pro As Pro Reported Forma Reported Forma Reported Forma ----------- ----------- ----------- --------- ------------- --------- Net income (loss) (in thousands) $2,878 $2,878 $7,500 $7,122 $1,085 $ (774) Basic net income (loss) per share $ 0.12 $ 0.12 $ 0.30 $ 0.29 $ .04 $(0.03) Diluted net income (loss) per share $ 0.12 $ 0.12 $ 0.28 $ 0.26 $ .04 $(0.03) A range of expected vesting percentages were given to each range of exercise prices. In 1997, the range of exercise prices from $0.33 to $0.39, $6.00 to $10.00, $12.50 to $18.25and $20.56 to $31.88, it is expected that 95 percent, 90 percent, 75 percent and 50 percent of those options will vest, respectively. These ranges were based upon the Company's estimates that a more significant number of lower priced options as compared to higher priced options will vest. The fair value of options at the date of grant were estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted-average assumptions: Option ----------------------------------------- 1995 1996 1997 ------------ ----------- ------------ Volatility 0.0 0.0 - 9.9 0.5 Expected option life (years) 5.0 5.0 5.0 Interest rate (risk free) 5.51% 5.38 - 6.69% 6.13 - 6.57% Dividend yield 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% Volatility for 1997 was calculated on a quarterly basis and was determined to be 0.5. Volatility for 1996 was calculated on a monthly basis. For 1996, exclusive of one month's data where volatility was 9.9, volatility ranged from 0.0 to 1.4. The Company has never declared nor paid dividends on any of its capital stock and does not expect to in the foreseeable future. The effects on 1995, 1996, and 1997 pro forma net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share of expensing the estimated fair value of stock options and shares are not necessarily representative of the effects on reporting the results of operations for future years as the periods presented include only one, two and three years of option grants under the Company's plan. (6) Software License and Support and Warrant Agreements On June 27, 1997, the Company entered into Software License and Support and Warrant Agreements with First Data Resources, Inc. (FDR). The provisions of the Software License and Support Agreement give FDR the right to use the Company's software in connection with new products and also the exclusive right to market, distribute and sublicense the Company's software and new products to FDR customers and prospects.

The approximate income tax effect of the Company's net deferred tax liability as of December 31, 1996 and 1997 are as follows: (in thousands) December 31, ---------------------------- 1996 1997 ----------- ---------- Software revenue $(14,103) $(18,195) Depreciation (215) (76) Deferred state taxes 836 -- Vacation accrual 380 184 Receivable and other reserves 367 1,198 Net operating loss carryforwards -- 8,195 Tax credits 798 864 Other 217 183 ----------- ---------- Net deferred tax liabilities (11,720) (7,647) Less current portion (2,904) (3,978) ----------- ---------- $(8,816) $(3,669) =========== ========== 54 At December 31, 1997, the Company had alternative minimum tax (AMT) and research and development (R&D) credit carryforwards of approximately $864,000, available to offset future federal taxable income. The carryforward period for the AMT credit is unlimited. The R&D credit carryforwards generally expire from 2004 to 2008. As of December 31, 1997 the Company also has available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $20,932,000 expiring through 2012. These carryforwards may be used to offset future income taxes payable, if any, and are subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company has recorded a deferred tax asset for the effect of its net operating loss carryforward as management has concluded that it is more likely than not that the tax benefit will be realized. However, approximately $12,251,000 of the net operating loss carryforward relates to the excess tax benefit of disqualifying dispositions and the exercise of non-qualified stock options. Accordingly, approximately $4,769,000 of the deferred tax asset was recorded in additional paid in capital. 9. LITIGATION The Company is a defendant in two purported class action suits which have been consolidated and in which the Company and several of its officers are alleged to have violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), Rule 10(b) (5) promulgated thereunder and Section 20(a) of the 1934 Act.
