The Company has two reportable segments consisting of its Network Solutions
Division and Enterprise Integration Solutions Division. The Network Solutions
Division provides products and services that offer high-speed open systems
connectivity, access to legacy data and guaranteed data integrity for
applications such as remote storage, disk mirroring, remote tape vaulting and
disaster recovery. The Enterprise Integration Solutions Division provides
products and services that integrate legacy systems with client/server and
internet technologies, including e-commerce and customer relationship management
applications. The Company's two reportable segments are strategic business units
that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because
each business requires different technology and market strategies. The Company
evaluates performance based on operating profit or loss before special charges
and income taxes.

REVENUE
Revenue from Network Solutions Division products for the second quarter and
first half of 1999 totaled $21.8 million and $42.6 million, respectively,
increases of 9% and 12%, respectively, when compared to the same periods of
1998. Storage Area Networking (SAN) applications for both open systems and
mainframes continued to drive new product revenue. Revenue from SAN product
applications for the second quarter and first half of 1999 totaled $13.6 million
and $25.4 million, respectively, increases of 67% and 77%, respectively, when
compared to the same periods of 1998. Revenue from channel extension product
applications for the second quarter and first half of 1999 totaled $8.1 million
and $17.2 million, respectively, decreases of 31% and 27%, respectively, when
compared to the same periods of 1998. While we expect the sale of channel
extension products to decrease in the future, we do not expect the decline per
quarter to be as substantial as it was in the second quarter of 1999.
Service revenue, including maintenance and professional services, from the
Network Solutions Division for the second quarter and first half of 1999 totaled
$8.7 million and $17.1 million, respectively, increases of 29% and 30%,
respectively, when compared to the same periods of 1998. Professional service
revenue for the second quarter and first half of 1999 totaled $1.0 million and
$2.2 million, respectively, increases of 228% and 514%, respectively, when
compared to the same periods of 1998. The growing installed base of customers
using our products accounted for the remaining increase in service revenue.
Revenue from Enterprise Integration Solutions Division products for the second
quarter and first half of 1999 totaled $4.6 million and $9.5 million,
respectively, increases of 11% and 10%, respectively, when compared to the same
periods of 1998. Revenue from the sale of Enterprise Application Integration
(EAI) products for the second quarter and first half of 1999 totaled $1.5
million and $2.6 million, respectively, increases of 112% and 98%, respectively,
when compared to the same periods of 1998. The increase is primarily due to
growing customer demand for products that integrate legacy applications and
networks with new networks and applications so that users can access
business-critical information. Sales of server gateways and tools for the second
quarter and first half of 1999 totaled $3.1 million and $6.9 million,
respectively, decreases of 10% and 6%, respectively, when compared to the same
periods of 1998. The acquisition of IntelliFrame did not have a significant
impact on second quarter or first half 1999 revenue.
Service revenue, including maintenance and professional services, from the
Enterprise Integration Solutions Division for the second quarter and first half
of 1999 totaled $2.8 million and $5.5 million, respectively, increases of 11%
for both periods when compared to the same periods of 1998. Professional
services revenue for the second quarter and first half of 1999 totaled $1.1
million and $2.1 million, respectively, increases of 125% and 99%, respectively,
when compared to the same periods of 1998.
Revenue generated from the sale of products and services outside the United
States for the second quarter and first half of 1999 totaled $14.5 million and
$26.0 million, respectively, increases of 18% and 17%, respectively, when
compared to same periods of 1998. The increase is primarily due to growing
demand from international customers for SAN and EAI product applications.
Fluctuations in revenue for the second quarter and first half of 1999 were
primarily due to changes in sales volume.
9
Price increases did not have a significant impact on revenue.
We expect continued quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in revenue in both domestic
and international markets. The timing of sizable orders, because of their
relative impact on total quarterly sales, may contribute to such fluctuations.
The level of product sales reported by us in any given period will continue to
be affected by the receipt and fulfillment of sizable new orders in both
domestic and international markets.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit margin from the sale of Network Solutions Division products for the
second quarter and first half of 1999 were 61%, compared to 63% and 65%,
respectively, for the same periods of 1998. The decrease in gross profit margin
for both periods is primarily due to an increase in UltraNet product sales that
have a slightly lower gross margin during the product introduction period than
our traditional Channelink products. The decrease in gross profit margin during
the first half of 1999 was also due to favorable purchases of raw materials that
were realized in the first half of 1998.
Gross profit margin from Network Solutions Division services for the second
quarter and first half of 1999 were 47% and 46%, respectively, compared to 34%
and 35%, respectively, for the same periods of 1998. The improvement in gross
profit margin is attributable to new incremental revenue from professional
services which offer a higher gross margin than our traditional service
business.
Gross profit margin from the sale of Enterprise Integration Solutions Division
products for the second quarter and first half of 1999 were 88% and 90%,
respectively, compared to 88% and 81%, respectively, for the same periods of
1998. The increase in gross profit margin for the first half of 1999 can be
attributed to lower margin hardware sales accounting for a smaller percentage of
total product revenue.
Gross profit margin from Enterprise Integration Solutions Division services for
the second quarter and first half of 1999 were 31% and 33%, respectively,
compared to 41% and 38%, respectively, for the same periods of 1998. The
decrease in gross profit margin for both periods is primarily due to a reduced
installed base of server and gateway and tools products.
Actual gross profit margins on product sales in the second half of 1999 will
depend on a number of factors, including the mix of products, acceptance of our
new products, particularly in the SAN and EAI markets, the relative amount of
products sold through sales channels other than our direct sales force,
primarily OEM sales, and the level of price competition.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Sales and marketing expenses related to our Network Solutions Division for the
second quarter and first half of 1999 increased by $692,000 and $1.4 million,
respectively, increases of 8% and 9%, respectively, when compared to the same
periods of 1998. The increase resulted from the additional expense associated
with the higher level of product sales.
Engineering and development expense primarily relates to costs associated with
development of new products and enhancements to existing products. Engineering
and development expense related to our Network Solutions Division for the second
quarter and first half of 1999 increased by $788,000 and $1.8
10
million, respectively, increases of 22% and 27%, respectively, when compared to
the same periods of 1998. The increases are primarily due to continued
development of our UltraNet family of products that provide customers with
additional applications to satisfy their growing need for SAN capabilities.
Engineering and development and sales and marketing expense for our Enterprise
Integration Solutions Division for the second quarter and first half of 1999
decreased by $282,000 and $2.1 million, respectively, decreases of 6% and 19%,
respectively, when compared to the same periods of 1998. The decrease is due to
the completion of our initiatives in 1998 to reduce headcount and expense
associated with this division.
We anticipate investing approximately 15% of total revenue on engineering and
development in 1999, which includes investments in current and future products.
We believe a sustained high level of investment in engineering and development
is essential to customer satisfaction and future revenue. During 1999, we intend
to continue to invest in our UltraNet product line, particularly in the areas of
open systems and Fibre Channel to further enhance our SAN offerings. We also
intend to complete development of the Process Dynamics product that was acquired
as in-process research and development from IntelliFrame in December of 1998.
General and administrative expenses for the second quarter and first half of
1999 increased by $56,000 and $377,000, respectively, increases of 3% and 12%,
respectively, when compared to the same periods of 1998. The increase is
primarily attributable to the additional expense associated with the higher
level of revenue for the second quarter and first half of 1999 when compared to
the same periods of 1998.
The operating margin as a percentage of total revenue for our Network Solutions
Division for both the second quarter and first half of 1999 was 9%, compared to
7% and 9%, respectively, for the same periods of 1998. Operating margin as a
percentage of total revenue for our Enterprise Integration Solutions Division
for the second quarter and first half of 1999 improved to 0% and 4%,
respectively, compared to a negative 8% and a negative 21%, respectively, for
the same periods of 1998.
OTHER
We recognized other expense for the second quarter of 1999 of $67,000, compared
to other income of $145,000 for the same period of 1998. The decrease was
primarily due to recognition of foreign exchange losses. Other income for the
first half of 1999 increased to $559,000 from $214,000 for the same period of
1998 due to recognition of a $667,000 payment received in connection with the
sale of our vision product line. We presently anticipate, but cannot assure,
that two additional payments of $667,000 and $630,000 will be received and
recognized as other income in March 2000 and March 2001, respectively.
We recorded a provision for income taxes for the second quarter and first half
of 1999 at an effective rate of 34%, compared to 38% for the same periods of
1998. Fluctuations in our effective income tax rate are primarily due to the
amount of non-deductible foreign losses and fluctuations in the level of benefit
from our foreign sales corporation.
11
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have historically financed our operations through the private and public sale
of equity securities, bank borrowings under lines of credit, capital and
operating leases and cash generated by operations.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 1999 totaled
$22.3 million, an increase of $10.0 million since December 31, 1998. Operations
and proceeds from the exercise of stock options provided cash during the first
half of 1999 of $10.5 million and $6.2 million, respectively. Uses of cash in
the first half of 1999 included the purchase of property and equipment and field
support spares totaling $5.4 million. We also made a $1.0 million installment
payment in the first quarter of 1999 relating to our 1998 purchase of
IntelliFrame.
Expenditures for capital equipment and field support spares have been, and will
likely continue to be, a significant capital requirement. We have leased a new
building, presently under construction, for our principal business operations
with occupancy scheduled for the 1999 fourth quarter. We believe that our
current balances of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, when
combined with anticipated cash flows from operations, will be adequate to fund
our operating plans and meet our currently anticipated aggregate capital
requirements, at least for the next twelve months.
We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our operations or
liquidity to date.
YEAR 2000
We are aware of the issues relating to the year 2000 and continue to assess the
impact that year 2000 issues will have on our business. We have also initiated
corrective action with respect to the year 2000 issues uncovered during our
assessment. The following information outlines the current status of our plans
regarding year 2000 issues.
OUR STATE OF READINESS
We have established a cross functional team that has been charged with assessing
our year 2000 readiness and identifying year 2000 related issues that could
impact our business. The activities include a review of all year 2000 issues
relating to our internal business systems, products and third party suppliers
and vendors.
We have assessed our internal information systems to determine if they will meet
our needs into and beyond the year 2000. Based on this assessment, we determined
that one of our primary internal business systems was not year 2000 compliant.
We spent approximately $2.3 million on new hardware, software and services in
1998 to acquire and implement a new year 2000 compliant business system which
was installed and became operational in January 1999. Our old non-compliant
business system was fully depreciated by the end of 1998. We are continuing to
test and assess our internal information and business systems to ensure year
2000 compliance.
12
The primary purpose of our products is to carry data between systems. We define
year 2000 readiness for our products to mean that, as a result of date
transition relating to the year 2000, our products will not fail in their task
of transmitting data, or corrupt the data stream that they carry. To date, based
on our activities to assess the year 2000 readiness of our products, we have
determined that certain third party software imbedded in our products is not
year 2000 compliant. We are currently implementing a program that is expected to
correct the deficiency by August 31, 1999. A secondary issue relates to the
cosmetic appearance of displays and status reports produced by our products. Our
products utilize dates for logging alerts, messages, displays and reporting
network traffic. These functions are ancillary to the products' primary
operation of data transmission, and therefore are excluded from our definition
of year 2000 readiness. We are committed to making displays and reports from our
products clear and accurate. We tested our products for cosmetic appearance at
the same time we tested our products for year 2000 readiness. The dates
presented in certain versions of our software products are shown as two digits
or contain other report anomalies. The appearance related anomalies have been or
will be corrected in subsequent versions of our products that are scheduled to
ship prior to January 1, 2000.
We are also conducting an assessment of our key vendors and suppliers to ensure
that no interruption of material, service or product functionality occurs due to
year 2000 date transitions. Our assessment is ongoing and a completion date has
not been identified. However, we believe that alternate vendors could be
utilized to replace the products and services that are currently provided by our
key suppliers and vendors.
To date, the cost of the new business system and the allocation of employee
resources have been the only costs incurred by us to address year 2000
readiness. Based on the assessment activities completed to date, we do not
believe that we will incur significant extra expense relating to year 2000
issues.
YEAR 2000 RELATED RISKS
A worst case scenario relative to the year 2000 issue would be the discovery of
additional year 2000 deficiencies in our products that require significant extra
time and expense to correct. In addition, sales could be materially impacted in
1999 if customers were to stop, or significantly reduce, procurement of new
equipment for their data centers and networks until after the start of the year
2000. A critical year 2000 deficiency by a key supplier, coupled with a failure
to locate a suitable alternative source of supply, could have a material impact
on our business.
CONTINGENCY PLANS
We believe that we are addressing all known year 2000 related risks. While we do
not believe that developing a remediation plan for the worst case year 2000
risks noted above is practical, we are attempting to mitigate further risk by
continuing to test and assess our products, and the products and services of our
key suppliers and vendors, for year 2000 readiness. We continually work to
identify suitable alternative sources of supply for key products and services to
mitigate the risks relative to the year 2000 and other business interruption
issues. We intend to address any additional year 2000 related risks as they
become known.
ADDITIONAL INVENTORY PURCHASES
Two of our suppliers may not be year 2000 compliant. As a result, we are
purchasing additional inventory of approximately $500,000 from those suppliers
in advance of the year 2000. We believe this additional inventory allows us to
continue to operate without any disruption or delay caused by those suppliers'
13
potential failure to be year 2000 compliant. We anticipate that this additional
inventory will be consumed in the ordinary course of business during 2000.
NEW EUROPEAN CURRENCY
On January 1, 1999, eleven of the fifteen member countries of the European Union
established fixed conversion rates between their existing currencies and the
euro, a new European currency, and adopted the euro as their common legal
currency . Either the euro or a participating country's present currency will be
accepted as legal tender from January 1, 1999 to January 1, 2002, from which
date forward only the euro will be accepted. We have a significant number of
customers located in European Union countries participating in this conversion.
The conversion may have competitive implications for our pricing and marketing
strategies, which could be material in nature; however, any such impact is not
known at this time. Our new business system implemented as of January 1999 is
capable of handling the new euro currency. There is no assurance, however, that
all problems related to the conversion will be foreseen and corrected, or that
no material disruptions of our business will occur.
MARKET RISK
We have no derivative financial instruments in our cash and cash equivalents. We
invest our cash and cash equivalents in investment grade, highly liquid
investments, consisting of money market instruments, bank certificates of
deposit and investments in commercial paper.
We are exposed to certain market risks related to fluctuations in foreign
exchange rates because some sales transactions, and the assets and liabilities
of our foreign subsidiaries, are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily
French francs, the euro and British pounds sterling. We have not invested in any
derivitive financial instruments to manage this risk.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133), effective for us on January
1, 2001, establishes new standards for recognizing all derivatives as either
assets or liabilities, and measuring those instruments at fair value. Currently,
we do not anticipate that SFAS No. 133 will have a material impact on our
financial position or results of operations.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this Form 10-Q, other documents filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, our press releases and oral statements made by or with
the approval of our executive officers contain forward looking statements, which
may include statements about our anticipated receipt of orders and their impact
on quarterly sales, business strategy, expectations regarding future revenue
levels, timing of and plans for the introduction or phase-out of products or
services, enhancements of existing products or services, plans for hiring
additional personnel, entering into strategic partnerships, and other plans,
objectives, expectations and intentions that are not historical fact.
14
The words "may," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," estimate,"
"predict," "intend," "potential" or "continue" and similar expressions are
generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. Because these
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results could
differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
These statements are only predictions. Although we believe that the expectations
reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee
future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.
