Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements have been omitted or condensed pursuant to such rules and regulations. The information furnished reflects, in the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments, consisting primarily of recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations. The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use; SOP No. 98-5, Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities, and SOP No. 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, with Respect to Certain Transactions, effective April 1, 1999. The adoption of these pronouncements did not have a material effect on the Company's operating results. (2) Net Income (Loss) per Share Basic income (loss) per share represents net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share represents net income (loss) divided by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus shares derived from other potentially dilutive securities. For the Company, potentially dilutive securities include "in-the-money" fixed stock options and warrants and the amount of weighted average common shares which would be added by the conversion of outstanding convertible preferred stock. The number of shares added for stock options and warrants is determined by the treasury stock method, which assumes exercise of these options and warrants and the use of any proceeds from such exercise to repurchase a portion of these shares at the average market price for the period. When the results of operations are a loss, other potentially dilutive securities are not included in the calculation of loss per share. For the three and six month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, basic loss per share is the same as diluted loss per share because the effect of the inclusion of other potentially dilutive securities in the calculation of diluted loss per share was antidilutive. The number of option shares excluded from the calculation of potentially dilutive securities either because the exercise price exceeded the average market price or because their inclusion in a calculation of net loss per share would have been antidilutive was 1,148,689 and 648,896 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and 1,125,701 and 700,498 for the six months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The effect of conversion of the Company's convertible preferred stock was also excluded from the calculation of net loss per diluted share because the resulting impact would also have been antidilutive for the three and six months ended September 30, 1998. -5- SHOWCASE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued) (3) Deferred Compensation During the three months ended June 30, 1999, the Company granted to employees options to purchase 81,000 shares of common stock. The Company recorded deferred compensation of approximately $153,000, representing the difference between the deemed value of the common stock for accounting purposes and the option exercise price of such options on the date of grant. The Company accounts for these stock options in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and will recognize the deferred compensation cost over the five year vesting period of options granted. No stock options were granted during the three months ended September 30, 1999 for which the exercise price was less than the deemed value of the common stock for accounting purposes on the date of grant. (4) Cashless Exercise of Warrants During the three months ended September 30, 1999, a warrant holder exercised a warrant to purchase shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to a cashless exercise provision. The Company recognized an expense of approximately $79,000 and issued an aggregate of 8,182 shares of its common stock during the three months ended September 30, 1999 as a result of this exercise. (5) Initial Public Offering and Conversion of Preferred Stock On June 29, 1999, the Company's registration statement for its initial public offering of 3,000,000 shares of common stock at $9.00 per share was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The closing of the sale of such shares occurred on July 6, 1999 at which time the 3,000,000 common shares were issued and proceeds, net of the underwriting discount, of $25,110,000 were received. On July 6, 1999, the outstanding shares of the Company's Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock were converted into 1,895,028 and 864,198 shares of common stock, respectively. -6- Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations All statements, trend analysis and other information contained in the following discussion relative to markets for our products and trends in revenues, gross margins and anticipated expense levels, as well as other statements including words such as "anticipate," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "expect," "intend" and other similar expressions constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are subject to business and economic risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to those described in Exhibit 99.1 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, as well as those discussed in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-77223) (the "Registration Statement"). Our actual results of operations may differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this report are based on information available to us on the date of this report, and we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Overview We are the leading provider of fully integrated, end-to-end, business intelligence solutions for IBM AS/400 customers. Our ShowCase STRATEGY(R) product suite and related services are designed to enable organizations to rapidly implement business intelligence solutions that create increased value from their operational and customer data. The sophisticated data warehousing and management capabilities of our product suite provides our clients with highly scalable and tightly integrated solutions. Our products enable enterprise-wide distribution of information and allow end-user access and analysis through familiar applications and Internet browsers. We have eight years of experience delivering business intelligence solutions. Our ShowCase STRATEGY product suite, introduced in 1996, supports ad hoc information access, enterprise reporting and analytics. We were incorporated in 1988, and in 1991, introduced the first Windows-based query tool for the IBM AS/400, ShowCase VISTA. During the next four years, we continued to broaden our family of data access products, expand our comprehensive service and support programs, grow our telesales and indirect sales channels and invest in marketing and administrative functions. To support the introduction of the ShowCase STRATEGY product suite in 1996, we created a direct field sales force and increased our global distribution presence. Our revenues increased to $8.5 and $19.0 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 1999, respectively, from $8.4 and $15.7 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 1998, respectively. Although our revenues have increased significantly in recent periods, this growth may not continue. We intend to continue to invest significant resources in the development of our product suite, sales and marketing and general and administrative functions. Our revenues come from three principal sources: license fees, maintenance and support and professional service fees. We adopted the provisions of Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP No. 98-4, Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of SOP No. 97-2, effective April 1, 1998, and SOP No. 98-9, Modification of SOP No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, with Respect to Certain Transactions, effective April 1, 1999. Under SOP No. 97-2, we recognize license revenue when the software product has been delivered, if a signed contract exists, the fee is fixed and determinable, collection of resulting receivables is probable and product returns are reasonably estimable. License fee revenues that are contingent upon sale to an end user by distributors and other distribution partners are recognized upon receipt of a report of delivery to the end user. Maintenance and support fees committed as part of new product license sales and maintenance resulting from renewed -7- maintenance contracts are deferred and recognized ratably over the contract period. Professional service revenue is recognized when services are performed. We sell our products through a direct sales force and through indirect distribution channels. Direct sales are made by our telesales organization and direct field sales force in North American and by wholly-owned subsidiaries in Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Belgium, including its branch office in the Netherlands. Our distribution partners include IBM, software application vendors, resellers and distributors located in the United States, Italy, Switzerland, Mexico, Japan, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand and South Korea. Sales through indirect channels accounts for 22.2% and 31.1% of license fee revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and 19.6% and 26.5% for the six months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Revenues from clients outside North America represented 45.9% and 35.7% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and 37.8% and 40.7% for the six months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. A majority of these sales was derived from European sales. We intend to continue to expand our international operations and have committed, and will continue to commit, significant management time and financial resources to developing direct and indirect international sales channels. Results of Operations The following table sets forth certain statement of operations data as a percentage of total revenues for the periods indicated.

(18.4)% (1.5)% (7.3)% (6.1)% ===== ===== ===== ===== -8- Revenues Total revenues. Total revenues increased to $8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $8.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998, representing an increase of 1.0%. For the six months ended September 30, 1999, total revenues increased to $19.0 million from $15.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 1998, an increase of 20.9%. License fees. License fee revenues decreased to $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998, representing a decrease of 19.8%. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower license fee revenues from Asia, low volume from our IBM distribution channel and the deferral of purchase decisions by potential clients because of year 2000 concerns. For the six months ended September 30, 1999, license fee revenues increased to $10.1 million from $9.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 1998, an increase of 9.2%. This increase in license fee revenues was largely attributable to an increase in the number of licenses sold by our expanded direct field sales force during the three months ended June 30, 1999. License fee revenues as a percentage of total revenues were 47.3% and 59.6% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and 53.1% and 58.8% for the six months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Licensing fees for our Essbase/400 product represented 38.6% and 37.0% of our total license fee revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and 41.6% and 38.7% for the six months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Maintenance and support. Maintenance and support revenues increased to $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998, representing an increase of 39.6%. For the six months ended September 30, 1999, maintenance and support revenues increased to $6.5 million from $4.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 1998, an increase of 43.8%. Maintenance and support revenues as a percentage of total revenues were 38.8% and 28.1% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and 34.2% and 28.8% for the six months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. These increases in maintenance and support revenues were largely a result of the renewal of maintenance and support contracts, as well as new maintenance and support contracts associated with new product licenses. Professional service fees. Professional service fee revenues increased to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998, representing an increase of 13.6%. For the six months ended September 30, 1999, professional service fee revenues increased to $2.4 million from $2.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 1998, an increase of 23.7%. Professional service revenues as a percentage of total revenues were 13.8% and 12.3% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and 12.7% and 12.4% for the six months ended September 30, 1999. These increases in professional service revenues were largely a result of revenues associated with the sale of new product licenses. Costs of Revenues Cost of license fees. Cost of license fees consists primarily of the costs of product manuals, media, packaging, shipping and royalties paid to third parties. Cost of license fees decreased to $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998, representing 19.0% and 19.9% of license fee revenues for these periods, respectively. This decrease in cost of license fees in dollar amount was primarily attributable to lower license fee revenues. Cost of license fees was $1.8 million for each of the six months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, representing 18.2% and -9- 19.7% of license fee revenues for these periods, respectively. We anticipate that cost of license fees will increase in dollar amount in future periods as license fee revenues increase. Cost of license fees as a percentage of total license fees may increase if we enter into additional royalty arrangements or if sales of Essbase/400 or other products which carry a royalty obligation increase as a percentage of license fee revenues. Cost of maintenance and support. Cost of maintenance and support consists primarily of personnel costs associated with providing maintenance and support services and payments to third parties to provide maintenance and support, particularly with respect to Essbase/400. Cost of maintenance and support increased to $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998, representing 22.8% and 25.6% of maintenance and support revenues for these periods, respectively. Cost of maintenance and support increased to $1.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 1999 from $1.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 1998, representing 24.2% and 25.8% of maintenance and support revenues for these periods, respectively. These increases in the cost of maintenance and support in dollar amount were primarily due to the hiring of additional personnel. We anticipate that cost of maintenance and support will increase in dollar amount in future periods as maintenance and support revenues increase. Cost of professional service fees. Cost of professional service fees consists primarily of the costs of providing training and consulting services. Cost of professional service fees increased to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998, representing 94.3% and 55.6% of professional service fee revenues for these periods, respectively. Cost of professional service fees increased to $2.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 1999 from $1.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 1998, representing 88.9% and 61.0% of professional service fee revenues for these periods, respectively. These increases in cost of professional service fees were primarily due to the expansion of our professional services staff. Cost of professional service fees as a percentage of professional service fee revenues increased as a result of reduced utilization of our staff due to year 2000 concerns of potential clients. We anticipate that cost of professional service fees will increase in dollar amount in future periods as professional service fee revenues increase. Operating Expenses Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, bonuses, commissions and travel and promotional expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased to $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998, representing 61.5% and 52.0% of total revenues for these periods, respectively. Sales and marketing expenses increased as a percentage of total revenues primarily due to slower revenue growth during the three months ended September 30, 1999. Sales and marketing expenses increased to $10.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 1999 from $8.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 1998, representing 55.3% and 55.8% of total revenues for these periods, respectively. These increases in sales and marketing expenses in dollar amount reflect the hiring of additional sales and marketing personnel and expanded promotional activities. We anticipate that sales and marketing expenses will increase in dollar amount in future periods. Product development. Product development expenses consist primarily of development personnel compensation and related costs associated with the development of new products, the enhancement of existing products, quality assurance and testing. Product development expenses were $1.2 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, representing 14.7% and 14.5% of total revenues for -10- these periods, respectively. Product development expenses increased to $2.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 1999 from $2.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 1999, representing 12.7% and 14.0% of total revenues for these periods, respectively. These increases in dollar amount were due to expenses associated with the development of new products and the hiring of additional personnel. Product development expenses decreased as a percentage of total revenues for the six months ended September 30, 1999 primarily due to faster revenue growth during the three months ended June 30, 1999. We anticipate that we will continue to devote substantial resources to product development efforts and that product development expenses will increase in dollar amount in future periods. To date, all product development costs have been expensed as incurred. General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries of executive, financial, human resources and information services personnel as well as outside professional fees. General and administrative expenses increased to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998, representing 13.4% and 8.9% of total revenues for these periods, respectively. General and administrative expenses increased to $2.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 1999 from $1.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 1998, representing 10.9% and 9.4% of total revenues for these periods, respectively. These increases in dollar amount were primarily due to increased staffing and related expenses necessary to manage and support the expansion of operations. General and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of total revenues primarily due to slower revenue growth during the three months ended September 30, 1999. We anticipate that general and administrative expenses will increase in dollar amount in the future as a result of increased personnel and infrastructure costs necessary to support the expansion of operations. Other Income Other income for the periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 consisted primarily of interest income and interest expense. Other income increased to $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $25,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. Other income increased to $0.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 1999 from $0.1 for the six months ended September 30, 1998. These increases were primarily due to interest on the investment of the proceeds of our initial public offering of common stock which closed on July 6, 1999. Provision for Income Taxes Income taxes increased to $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $45,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. For the six months ended September 30, 1999, income taxes increased to $0.3 million from $85,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1999. These increases were primarily due to a reduction in the deferred tax asset as a result of the larger loss from operations. Liquidity and Capital Resources Historically, we have funded operations primarily through cash provided by operations, the sale of equity securities and bank borrowings. Operating activities used cash of $2.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 1999 and provided cash of $0.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 1998. This decrease in cash from operating activities was due primarily to decreased deferred revenue and a net loss of $1.4 million partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable. Investing activities used cash of $25.8 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended -11- September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The principal use of cash in investing activities for the six months ended September 30, 1999 was the investment of the proceeds from our initial public offering and capital expenditures related to the acquisition of computer equipment and furniture required to support the expansion of our operations. The principal use of cash in investing activities for the six months ended September 30, 1998 was capital expenditures related to the acquisition of computer equipment and furniture required to support the expansion of our operations. Financing activities provided cash of $24.3 million and used cash of $0.2 million in the six months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 1999, cash provided by financing activities consisted primarily of proceeds from our initial public offering. For the six months ended September 30, 1998, cash used by financing activities consisted primarily of long-term debt repayment, payments under capitalized lease obligations and the receipt of proceeds from the exercise of stock options. Our sources of liquidity at September 30, 1999 consisted principally of cash and marketable securities of $30.8 million. We believe that cash generated from operations, existing cash and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months. Year 2000 Many currently installed computer systems and software products store dates using two digits of the calendar year. These date code fields will need to accept four-digit entries to distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century dates. This problem could result in system failures or miscalculations causing disruptions of business operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices or engage in other similar business activities. As a result, many companies' computer systems and software will need to be upgraded or replaced in order to comply with Year 2000 requirements. The potential global impact of the Year 2000 problem is not known. If Year 2000 problems are not corrected in a timely manner, they could affect us and the U.S. and world economies generally. Even though our current products are Year 2000 compliant, we have lost, and may, in the future, lose potential sales because companies are diverting resources to assess and fix their internal systems that may not be Year 2000 compliant. We have surveyed and assessed our infrastructure that supports our information technology and communication systems. All critical computer hardware, databases, operating systems, network equipment and communication equipment have been assessed and identified as Year 2000 compliant. Personal computers and workstations have been inventoried and evaluated and all non-Year 2000 compliant hardware and software has been or is being replaced. Our Year 2000 compliance program for all of our significant internal systems will be completed at a cost of approximately $65,000. We surveyed our key suppliers to assess the potential impact on our operations if these suppliers are not successful in converting their systems in a timely manner. Responses received to date indicate that our suppliers are aware of the Year 2000 issues and are implementing necessary changes. Suppliers that have not responded to our surveys are being evaluated in greater detail, and contingency plans are being developed as appropriate. It is impossible to fully assess the potential consequences in the event interruptions from suppliers occur or in the event that there are disruptions in infrastructure areas as utilities, communications, transportation, banking or government. Based on our Year 2000 compliance program, we believe we will not experience any material -12- disruptions as a result of Year 2000 problems in internal processes, information processing, interfaces with major clients or with processing orders and billing. However, if suppliers or other third-party providers, such as those providing electricity, water or telephone services, experience difficulties in providing products or services to us because of their Year 2000 problems, we believe that the most reasonably likely worst case scenario would be that our ability to timely ship our products to our clients would be disrupted. This could result in the loss of current or potential clients which could seriously harm our business and results of operations. Assuming no major disruption in service from suppliers or other third-parties, we believe that we will be able to manage our total Year 2000 transition without any substantial harm to our business and operating results. New Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 established methods of accounting for derivative financial instruments and hedging activities related to those instruments as well as other hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 will be effective for us in April 2001. We are currently reviewing the potential impact of this accounting standard. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks There have been no material changes in our market risk during the three and six months ended September 30, 1999 from that set forth on page 25 of the Registration Statement under the heading "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks." PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings We are not a party to any material legal proceedings. Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds We issued and sold during the quarter ended September 30, 1999 an aggregate of 8,182 shares of our common stock to Comdisco, Inc. upon exercise of an outstanding warrant. The warrant was exercised pursuant to a cashless exercise provision and, as such, we received no proceeds from the exercise of the warrant. The issuance of our common stock upon exercise of the warrant was deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. Our registration statement, filed on Form S-1 under the Securities Act (File No. 333-77223), for our initial public offering became effective June 29, 1999. The closing of the sale of shares pursuant to the offering occurred on July 6, 1999, at which time we issued 3,000,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate offering price of $27.0 million. Upon the closing of the offering, all outstanding shares of our Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock were automatically converted into 2,759,226 shares of our common stock. Following the closing, we filed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Minnesota which eliminated the previously authorized convertible preferred stock and increased the authorized number of shares of capital stock to 50,000,000. -13- We received net proceeds from the initial public offering of approximately $24.4 million. These proceeds are currently invested in marketable securities pending the use of such proceeds. Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities None. Item 4.
