NOTE E - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
CHELVERUS CASE: In November 1997 and January 1998, complaints purporting to
be class actions were filed with the United States District Court for the
District of Massachusetts (the "Court") alleging that the Company and several
of its officers violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), Rule 10b-5 promulgated by the
Commission thereunder, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. A third
complaint was filed in April 1998 but has been voluntarily dismissed without
prejudice. In December 1998, the plaintiffs in the remaining class actions
filed their First Amended Consolidated Complaint (the "Amended Complaint")
which names the Company, the Company's President (Alan Trefler) and a former
officer and director (Ira Vishner), as defendants. The Amended Complaint
alleges that the defendants issued false and misleading financial statements
and press releases concerning the Company's publicly reported earnings. The
Amended Complaint seeks certification of a class of persons who purchased the
Company's Common Stock between July 2, 1997 and October 29, 1997, and does
not specify the amount of damages sought. The court has denied the
defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint. Discovery has recently
commenced. The matter is in a very preliminary stage of litigation, and the
Company gives no assurance as to its eventual outcome. The Company intends to
defend this matter vigorously.
GELFER CASE: In December 1998, a complaint also purporting to be a class
action was filed with the Court after the Company's announcement on November
24, 1998 that it might be recording revenue adjustments to prior periods. In
April 1999, the plaintiffs filed their First Amended Class Action Complaint
("Gelfer Complaint") in that action. The Gelfer Complaint alleges that the
Company, Mr. Trefler and Mr. Vishner violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange
Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated by the Commission thereunder, and that the
individuals also violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The Gelfer
Complaint is filed on behalf of a purported class of persons who purchased
the Company's common stock between April 2, 1998 through November 24, 1998
and does not specify the amount of damages sought. The defendants have filed
a motion to dismiss, which is pending, however. The matter is in a very
preliminary stage of litigation, and the Company gives no assurance as to its
eventual outcome.
FORMAL ORDER OF PRIVATE INVESTIGATION: In May, 1999, the Boston office of the
Securities and Exchange Commission issued a Formal Order of Private
Investigation of the Company and unidentified individuals, currently or
formerly associated with the Company, which concerns past accounting matters,
financial reports, other public disclosures and trading activity in the
Company's securities during 1997 and 1998. The Company has been cooperating
fully with the Commission. The investigation is confidential and ongoing.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1998
REVENUE
Total revenue for the three-month period ended June 30, 1999 (the "1999 Three
Month Period") increased 17.6% to $21.3 million from $18.2 million for the
three-month period ended June 30, 1998 (the "1998 Three Month Period"). Total
revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999 (the "1999 Six Month
Period") increased 12.4% to $36.4 million from $32.4 million for the six-month
period ended June 30, 1998 (the "1998 Six Month Period"). These increases were
due to an increase in services revenue partially offset by a decrease in
software license revenue.
Software license revenue for the 1999 Three Month Period decreased 8.3% to $9.1
million from $10.0 million for the 1998 Three Month Period. Software license
revenue for the 1999 Six Month Period decreased 16.6% to $15.1 million from
$18.2 million for the 1998 Six Month Period. The decrease in software license
revenue is due to prospect hesitance to expend resources due to their own
concern regarding the "Year 2000" problem, prospect hesitance in transacting
business with the Company in late 1998 and early 1999 while the Company was late
in its SEC filings, turnover in the Company's sales force and the allocation of
software license revenue to services revenue as required by Statement of
Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition," as issued by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants, ("SOP 97-2").
Services revenue for the 1999 Three Month Period increased 49.0% to $12.2
million from $8.2 million for the 1998 Three Month Period. Services revenue for
the 1999 Six Month Period increased 49.5% to $21.3 million from $14.2 million
for the 1998 Six Month Period. These increases in services revenue were
primarily attributable to additional consulting services provided to existing
customers and the completion of projects which had previously been deferred and
the allocation of software license revenue to services revenue as required by
SOP 97-2.
9
COST OF REVENUE
Cost of software license revenue for both the 1999 and 1998 Three and Six Month
Periods remained constant.
Cost of services for the 1999 Three Month Period increased 30.7% to $7.1
million from $5.4 million for the 1998 Three Month Period. Cost of services
for the 1999 Six Month Period increased 61.5% to $15.4 million from $9.5
million for the 1998 Six Month Period. These increases were due to costs
associated with increased staffing in the Company's Client Services and
Software Services groups worldwide. Cost of services as a percentage of
services revenue decreased to 58.2% for the 1999 Three Month Period from
66.4% for the 1998 Three Month Period. This increase in gross margin was
primarily due to the recognition of previously deferred services revenue and
the allocation of software license revenue to services revenue as required by
SOP 97-2, both with no current period cost. Cost of services as a percentage
of services revenue increased to 72.4% for the 1999 Six Month Period from
67.0% for the 1998 Six Month Period. This decrease in gross margin was due to
the Company incurring unrecoverable costs on contracts where fixed fees were
exceeded and the services revenue was deferred, partially offset by the
allocation of software license revenue to services revenue as required by SOP
97-2, with no current period cost.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Research and development expenses for the 1999 Three Month Period decreased
14.4% to $4.5 million from $5.3 million for the 1998 Three Month Period.
Research and development expenses for the 1999 Six Month Period decreased
11.0% to $9.4 million from $10.5 million for the 1998 Six Month Period. As a
percentage of total revenue, research and development expenses decreased to
21.3% for the 1999 Three Month Period from 29.2% for the 1998 Three Month
Period. As a percentage of total revenue, research and development expenses
decreased to 25.7% for the 1999 Six Month Period from 32.5% for the 1998 Six
Month Period. These decreases were primarily due to a transfer of certain of
the research and development staff to the Company's Client Services Group
early in the 1999 Six Month period. During the 1998 Three and Six Month
Periods, the Company had recorded approximately $0.5 and $0.9 million,
respectively, of software amortization costs associated with the Company's
acquisition of FDR's ESP software product in research and development
expenses. During the second half of 1998 the Company had its first sale of
software which included components of the ESP software product. Consistent
with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") No. 86 - "Accounting for
Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased of Otherwise Marketed" the Company
recorded these amortization costs in cost of software license during the 1999
Three Month and Six Month periods.
Selling and marketing expenses for the 1999 Three Month Period decreased 13.4%
to $5.0 million from $5.8 million for the 1998 Three Month Period. Selling and
marketing expenses for the 1999 Six Month Period decreased 7.6% to $10.3 million
from $11.1 million for the 1998 Six Month Period. As a percentage of total
revenue, selling and marketing expenses decreased to 23.6% for the 1999 Three
Month Period from 32.1% for the 1998 Three Month Period. As a percentage of
total revenue, selling and marketing expenses decreased to 28.2% for the 1999
Six Month Period from 34.3% for the 1998 Six Month Period. These decreases were
due primarily to a reduction in the Company's sales force and a reduction in
expenses relating to advertising and trade shows.
General and administrative expenses for the 1999 Three Month Period increased
243.2% to $4.2 million from $1.2 million for the 1998 Three Month Period.
General and administrative expenses for the 1999 Six Month Period increased
223.3% to $8.0 million from $2.5 million for the 1998 Six Month Period. As a
percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses increased to
19.9% for the 1999 Three Month Period from 6.8% for the 1998 Three Month Period.
10
As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses
increased to 22.1% for the 1999 Six Month Period from 7.7% for the 1998 Six
Month Period. These increases were primarily due to increased bad debt
expenses to recognize potentially uncollectable accounts, professional fees,
and higher staffing costs in the Company's General and Administrative Group.
Increased professional fees were incurred as a result of additional legal and
accounting costs associated with ongoing class action litigation and prior
period restatements.
LICENSE INTEREST INCOME
License interest income, which is the portion of all license fees due and
received under software license agreements that was not recognized upon product
acceptance or license renewal, increased to $0.8 million for the 1999 Three
Month Period from $0.6 million for the 1998 Three Month Period. License interest
income increased to $1.7 for the 1999 Six Month Period from $1.2 million for the
1998 Six Month Period. These changes were primarily due to the increase in
Company's installed customer base.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
As of June 30, 1999, the Company has net operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards available to offset future taxable income, if any. The Company
has provided a full valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets as
their realizability is uncertain. As a result, the Company has not provided a
tax benefit for the net loss incurred during the six-month period ended June
30, 1999. The tax provision for federal, state and foreign taxes was $0.3
million for the 1998 Three Month Period and $0.1 million for the 1998 Six
Month Period. The effective tax rate remained constant at 38.0% for the 1998
Three and Six Month Periods.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since its inception, the Company has funded its operations primarily through
cash flow from operations and bank borrowings and proceeds from the Company's
public stock offerings.
At June 30, 1999, the Company has cash and cash equivalents of approximately
$30.4 million and working capital of approximately $29.9 million. The Company's
approach of charging license fees payable in installments over the term of its
license has historically deferred the receipt of cash and limits the
availability of working capital.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the 1999 Six Month Period was $6.6
million, as compared to $5.6 million of net cash used for the 1998 Six Month
Period. This increase in cash was primarily due to a decrease in accounts
receivable, and prepaid expenses and other current assets, partially offset by
the operating loss, net of non-cash items.
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $1.5 million during the
1999 Six Month Period, as compared to $2.8 million for the 1998 Six Month
Period. This decrease in cash used was mainly due to fewer purchases of property
and equipment, consisting mainly of computer hardware and software, and
furniture and fixtures.
11
Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.3 million for both the 1999 and
1998 Six Month Periods, and consisted of amounts received from the exercise of
stock options, partially offset by payments on the Company's capital lease
obligation.
In addition to cash used for investing activities, the Company has operating
leases for office space, furniture and equipment. At June 30, 1999, the
Company's commitments under non-cancelable operating leases for office space
with terms in excess of one year totaled $2.1 million, $4.2 million, $4.2
million, $4.2 million, $2.1 million, and $1.3 million for 1999, 2000, 2001,
2002, 2003, and thereafter. The Company's total payments under such leases was
$2.0 million for the 1999 Six Month Period.
The Company's $5.0 million revolving bank credit line terminated on June 30,
1999. At that date the Company had no outstanding borrowings.
The Company believes that current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient
to fund the Company's operations for the near term. There can be no assurance
that additional capital which may be required to support further revenue growth
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.
EFFECT OF "YEAR 2000" ISSUES.
The "Year 2000" problem is pervasive and complex, as virtually every computer
operation will be affected in some way by the rollover of the two-digit year
value to "00." The issue is whether computer systems will properly recognize
date sensitive information when the year changes to 2000. Systems that do not
properly recognize such information (or other date changes) could generate
erroneous data or fail. Pegasystems' customers rely on date-sensitive operations
to calculate internal data and to service their customers. In addition, the
Company also uses other companies' products as part of market offerings and for
internal use; these programs may also be affected by the issue.
Year 2000 readiness issues may negatively affect the purchasing patterns of
existing and potential customers. Many organizations are spending significant
amounts and rededicating personnel to correct or patch their current systems to
achieve Year 2000 readiness. Thus, fewer funds may be available to purchase the
Company's products. Also, the issue may divert customers' and potential
customers' time, attention, and resources away from those projects which
typically lead to purchases of products or services. The Company does not
believe that there is any practical way to ascertain the extent of, and has no
plans to address problems associated with, any such reduction in purchasing
resources of its customers. Any such reduction could, however, result in a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and
financial condition.
Pegasystems has designed and tested the most current versions of its products to
be Year 2000 compliant. However, some customers are using earlier product
versions. In addition the Company's products are generally integrated with the
systems and products of its customers developed by other vendors. Year 2000
problems in these systems and products might significantly limit the ability of
the Company's customers to realize the intended benefit offered by the Company's
products. The Company may in the future be subject to claims based on Year 2000
problems in others' products or issues arising from the integration of multiple
products within an overall system. Although the Company has not been involved in
12
any litigation or proceeding to date involving its products or services
related to Year 2000 issues, there can be no assurance that the Company will
not in the future be required to defend its products or services or to
negotiate resolutions of claims based on Year 2000 issues. The costs of
defending and resolving Year 2000-related disputes, and any liabilities of
the Company for Year 2000-related damages, including consequential damages,
could have a material adverse effect on the Company business, operating
results and financial condition.
The Company also relies on certain computer technology and software that it
licenses from third parties, including software that is integrated with the
Company's products. These programs may also present Year 2000 problems. Although
the Company has not experienced any significant product claims to date, there
can be no assurance that unanticipated errors or defects will not result in
product liability or other claims in the future. Failure of third-party software
comprising any part of the Company's systems to operate properly with regard to
Year 2000 and thereafter could require the Company to incur unanticipated
expenses to address associated problems, which could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.
The Company has adopted standard industry practices to prepare for the effect of
the upcoming date change on internal data and information technology systems
(such as communications, development, accounting, billing, and other systems).
The Company's Year 2000 internal readiness program primarily covers: taking
inventory of hardware, software and embedded systems, assessing business and
customer satisfaction risks associated with such systems, creating action plans
to address known risks, executing and monitoring action plans, and contingency
planning. Pegasystems has completed its preliminary Year 2000 readiness
preparations with respect to core business systems. Secondary and tertiary
systems are now being evaluated for Y2K readiness. It is expected that this
process will be complete by November, 1999.
Although the Company does not believe that it will incur any material costs or
experience material disruptions in its business associated with preparing its
internal systems for the year 2000, there can be no assurances that the Company
will not experience serious unanticipated negative consequences and/or material
costs caused by undetected errors or defects in the technology used in its
internal system. The most reasonably likely worst case scenarios would include:
(i) corruption of data contained in internal information systems, (ii) hardware
failure, and (iii) the failure of infrastructure services provided by government
agencies and other third parties (e.g., electricity, phone service, water
transport, Internet services, etc.). The Company is in the process of completing
contingency planning for high risk areas (such as accounting, payroll, and
invoicing/billing systems) at this time and has commenced contingency planning
relating to other areas. The Company expects contingency plans to include, among
other things, manual "work-arounds" for software and hardware failures, as well
as substitution of systems, if necessary.
ADOPTION OF THE EURO
A new currency, "EURO", was introduced in certain Economic and Monetary Union
("EMU") countries. It is expected that by 2002 (at the latest) all participating
EMU countries will use the EURO as their single currency. As a result, software
used by many companies headquartered or maintaining a subsidiary in a
participating EMU country is expected to be EURO-enabled. In less than four
years, all companies headquartered or maintaining a subsidiary in an EMU country
will need to be EURO-enabled. These changes will change budgetary, accounting
and fiscal systems in companies and public administration, and require the
simultaneous handling of parallel currencies and conversion of legacy data.
These requirements (and the fact that the final rules and regulations are not
yet available) may curb market demand for the Company's products
13
because the budgets and priorities of our customers and prospective customers
may change. The Company is monitoring the rules and regulations as they become
known in order to make any changes to its software products that the Company
deems necessary to comply with such rules and regulations. Although the Company
believes that its most recent products address these requirements, there can be
no assurance that, once the final rules and regulations are completed, the
Company's software will contain all of the necessary changes or meet all of the
EURO requirements. Any inability to comply with the EURO requirements could have
an adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial
condition.
INFLATION
Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's operating results to
date, and the Company does not expect it to have a significant impact in the
future. The Company's license and maintenance fees are typically subject to
annual increases based on recognized inflation indexes.
