Background and Basis of Presentation E-Stamp Corporation, a Delaware corporation, was formed on August 23, 1996. The Company originally provided an Internet postage service that enabled users to purchase, download and print Internet postage directly from their personal computers without the need to maintain a persistent Internet connection. In May 2000, the Company acquired two companies, Infinity Logistics Corporation ("Infinity Logistics") and Automated Logistics Corp. ("Automated Logistics"), providers of transportation management and warehouse management products and services that allowed enterprise customers to review carrier rates and shipping options, select a carrier, print shipping labels, track shipments and create shipping reports. In July 2000, the Company restructured its organization to focus on the development, marketing and sales of its transportation management business and reduce its emphasis on the Internet postage business. In November 2000, the Company further restructured its organization and announced that it would phase-out its Internet postage service by the end of 2000. On April 19, 2001, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Learn2.com, Inc., a provider of e-learning products and services. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Learn2 will merge with the Company, with the Company remaining as the surviving corporation. The merger is subject to certain conditions set forth in the merger agreement, including a minimum net cash requirement, as defined in the merger agreement, at the closing date and the approval of the stockholders of the Company and Learn2. The Company also announced that it would discontinue its existing transportation management business prior to completion of the merger. Accordingly, the Company's condensed financial statements and notes included herein reflect its businesses as discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30. The results of discontinued operations do not include any interest income, interest expense or allocation of corporate expenses. In the event that the merger is completed, the Company intends to conduct the e-learning solutions business of Learn2. The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. At June 30, 2001, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $201.9 million. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to close the merger, and the discontinuance of the Company's remaining operations raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in the event that the merger with Learn2.com is not completed. The condensed financial statements of the Company as of and for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 included herein are unaudited, but include all adjustments, including adjustments for the impairment of long-lived assets of $2.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 and $7.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001, that the management of the Company believes necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position as of the reported dates and the results of operations for the respective periods presented. Interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2000 included in the Company's Form 10-K/A-2 for the year ended December 31, 2000. Other Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss includes all changes in stockholders' equity during a period, except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Other comprehensive loss comprises unrealized gains and losses on cash equivalents, which 6 7 have been immaterial to date. As a result, comprehensive loss approximates net loss for all periods presented. Income (loss) Per Share Income (loss) per share has been computed in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("FAS 128"), which requires disclosure of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, shares subject to repurchase, warrants, and convertible securities. The Company's potentially dilutive securities were antidilutive and therefore were not included in the computation of weighted-average shares used in computing diluted income (loss) per share. Therefore, the Company's basic and diluted income (loss) per share are the same. The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, -------------------- -------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 -------- -------- -------- -------- Loss from continuing operations ............................. $ (2,385) $ (1,042) $ (3,751) $ (1,686) Gain (loss) from discontinued operations .. 3,018 (27,096) (9,469) (56,140) -------- -------- -------- -------- Net income (loss) ......................... $ 633 $(28,138) $(13,220) $(57,826) ======== ======== ======== ======== Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding ............... 37,921 39,546 37,937 39,332 Less: Weighted average shares subject to repurchase .................. (241) (2,632) (328) (2,832) -------- -------- -------- -------- Shares used in computing basic and diluted loss per share .................................. 37,680 36,914 37,609 36,500 ======== ======== ======== ======== Income (loss) per share, basic and diluted: Continuing operations .................. $ (0.06) $ (0.03) $ (0.10) $ (0.04) Discontinued operations ................ 0.08 (0.73) (0.25) (1.54) -------- -------- -------- -------- Net income (loss) ...................... $ 0.02 $ (0.76) $ (0.35) $ (1.58) ======== ======== ======== ======== Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 establishes methods of accounting for business combinations entered into after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 establishes methods of accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets arising from a business combination. SFAS No. 142 also establishes methods of amortizing goodwill and other intangible assets and evaluating these assets for impairment. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company expects that its pending merger with Learn2.com, Inc. will result in negative goodwill, which will be allocated on a pro rata basis to reduce the fair values of the non-current assets acquired, including other identifiable intangible assets. Therefore, the Company does not expect that these pronouncements will have a significant effect on its results of operations or financial position or on its accounting for its pending merger with Learn2. 2. Pending Merger On April 19, 2001, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Learn2.com, Inc., a provider of e-learning solutions. Pursuant to the merger agreement, the Company and Learn2 will merge, with the Company remaining as the surviving corporation. The merger is subject to certain conditions set forth in the merger agreement, including a minimum net cash requirement, as defined in the merger agreement, at the closing date and the approval of the stockholders of the Company and Learn2. The merger agreement provides that if either the Company or Learn2 7 8 terminates the merger agreement as a result of the other company (i) failing to obtain the required vote of its stockholders or (ii) withdrawing or altering its approval or recommendation of the merger agreement, then a termination fee of $500,000 will be due and payable to the other party. In connection with the merger, the Company also announced that it would discontinue its remaining transportation management solutions business prior to the completion of the merger. On April 25, 2001, Learn2 issued to the Company a convertible promissory note in exchange for $2,000,000. The promissory note is convertible into 2,000 shares of Learn2 Series E preferred stock. The purchase and sale of the promissory note was a material term of the merger agreement between the Company and Learn2. 3. Discontinued Operations On April 19, 2001, the Company entered into a merger agreement under which it will merge with Learn2.com, an e-learning services provider. The Company also announced it would discontinue its existing transportation management business prior to the completion of the merger. Historically, the Company operated under a single reportable segment consisting of two product lines, Internet postage and transportation management products and services. The Company's condensed financial statements and notes included herein reflect its businesses as discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30. The results of discontinued operations do not include any interest income, interest expense or allocation of general corporate expenses. Summary operating results of discontinued operations are as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, -------------------- -------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 -------- -------- -------- -------- (In thousands) Net revenues ................... $ -- $ 1,632 $ 317 $ 3,122 Impairment of long-lived assets -- -- (5,709) -- Write off of in-process research and development .... -- (1,677) -- (1,677) Reversal of restructuring reserves ................... 839 -- 839 -- Reversal of excess allowance for doubtful accounts ....... 132 -- 132 -- Other operating expenses, net .. (68) (27,051) (7,163) (57,585) -------- -------- -------- -------- Income (loss) from discontinued operations .................. $ 903 $(27,096) $(11,584) $(56,140) ======== ======== ======== ======== For the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, income (loss) from discontinued operations reflects the operating expenses related to the transportation management business through the measurement date of April 17, 2001. In April 2001, the Company sold all of its patent and patent applications and certain trademarks and domain names related to its Internet postage business to Stamps.com, Inc. for cash proceeds of $7.5 million. In May 2001, the Company sold its DigitalShipper and e-Receive products, maintenance and support contracts and trademarks related to these products to Data Track Technologies of California, Inc. for cash proceeds of $55,000 and a promissory note of $110,000. The Company recorded income totaling approximately $7.7 million related to these transactions. Costs and expenses related to the disposal of the Company's operations consisted of $2.4 million related to shutdown costs, $2.1 million related to the impairment of assets and $1.1 million related to other reserves and accruals, primarily an accrual for lease termination costs. The resulting gain on the disposal of discontinued operations was $2.1 million. 8 9 The assets and liabilities of discontinued operations, which are included in the corresponding line item on the balance sheet, are as follows: June 30, Dec. 31, 2001 2001 -------- -------- (In thousands) Accounts receivable -- trade ............ $ 205 $ 369 Other receivables ....................... 514 430 Prepaid expenses and other current assets ........................ -- 300 Property and equipment, net ............. -- 4,514 Goodwill and other intangible assets, net -- 4,741 Other assets ............................ 960 960 -------- -------- 1,679 11,314 Deferred revenue ........................ -- (328) -------- -------- Net assets of discontinued operations ... $ 1,679 $ 10,986 ======== ======== 4. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets During the three months ended March 31, 2001, Company management identified indicators of possible impairment of long-lived assets, principally goodwill and other intangible assets initially recorded in connection with the Company's acquisition of Infinity Logistics and Automated Logistics. These indicators included deterioration in the business climate for technology companies, significant declines in the market values of companies operating in the technology sector and recent changes in the Company's operating results and cash flow projections for the transportation management solutions business. Company management reviewed the projected operations and cash flows for the transportation management solutions business and compared projected undiscounted cash flows to the carrying amount of goodwill and other intangible assets. Based on the result of this review, management determined that these assets were impaired and had a fair value of zero. Accordingly, an impairment write-down was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2001, consisting of $2.7 million of goodwill and $1.6 million of other intangible assets. These amounts are included in loss from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2001. In addition, as a result of a significant decrease in the Company's employee headcount during the three months ended March 31, 2001, Company management performed an inventory of computers, office furniture and other equipment held for disposal as of March 31, 2001. A write-down of $1.4 million was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2001 to reduce the carrying amount of property and equipment held for disposal to its estimated fair value less cost to sell. This amount is included in loss from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2001. During the three months ended June 30, 2001, management performed a further review of its property and equipment as a result of its decision in April 2001 to discontinue its transportation management business. Based on this review, an additional write-down of $2.1 million was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2001 to reduce the carrying value of property and equipment held for disposal to its estimated fair value less costs of disposal. This amount is included in gain on disposal of discontinued operations. 5. Restructuring Costs During 2000, the Company undertook two corporate restructurings and recorded restructuring charges totaling $20.3 million. In July 2000, the Company restructured its organization to focus on the development, marketing and sales of its transportation management solutions and reduce emphasis on its Internet postage business. In November 2000, the Company restructured the organization to phase out its Internet postage business. In connection with these restructurings, the Company terminated 52 employees, of which all had left the Company by April 30, 2001. The 9 10 windup of the Internet postage business was substantially completed by April 30, 2001. The following table sets forth the activity in accrued restructuring costs during the six months ended June 30, 2001. BALANCE BALANCE DECEMBER 31, AMOUNTS JUNE 30, 2000 CASH PAID REVERSED 2001 ------------ --------- -------- -------- (In thousands) Employee termination costs $ 824 $ (797) $ -- $ 27 Contract terminations .... 2,687 (2,189) (162) 336 Operations shut-down ..... 1,805 (1,408) (397) -- Reserve for sales returns 617 (337) (280) -- ------- ------- ------- ------- Total .................... $ 5,933 $(4,731) $ (839) $ 363 ======= ======= ======= ======= Amounts reversed are included in loss from discontinued operations in the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. In February 2001, the Company announced a further reduction in force and the elimination of 45 employees and contractors from its workforce. In connection with this action, the Company incurred severance expense of $392,000, which the Company paid during the six months ended June 30, 2001. This expense is included in loss from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2001. 6. Stockholders' Equity Stock Subject to Rescission Shares issued under the Company's 1996 Employee Plan, 1996 Director Plan and 1999 Stock Plan (the "Plans") prior to October 14, 1999 may not have qualified for exemption from registration or qualification under federal and state securities laws and therefore may be subject to rescission. On February 2, 2000, the Company filed a rescission offer for 5,682,341 shares of common stock pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering shares of common stock issued under the Plans. The Company currently intends to file a request to withdraw the registration statement. Because the Act does not provide that a rescission offer will terminate a purchaser's right to rescind a sale of stock and a significant portion of the shares have been resold for a price in excess of the original purchase price paid by the optionees, the Company does not intend to extend the rescission offer to the optionees. Management believes that the Company does not have a contingent liability resulting from the issuance of stock to these optionees that would materially and adversely impact the results of operations or financial position of the Company. Shares subject to rescission have been included in stockholders' equity in the accompanying balance sheets. 7. Related Party Transaction In June 2001, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the forgiveness of certain loans to officers in the aggregate amount of $367,000, together with a tax gross-up on the forgiveness. 8. Contingencies Pitney Bowes Litigation On June 18, 2001, E-Stamp entered into an agreement with Pitney Bowes, Inc. to settle all litigation between the companies. The litigation, which included patent infringement claims by Pitney Bowes and antitrust counterclaims by E-Stamp, was 10 11 resolved without admission of liability. Under the settlement agreement, each party released and covenanted not to sue the other in connection with past activities, E-Stamp agreed to an injunction against the infringement of any patents asserted by Pitney Bowes in the litigation and E-Stamp paid $2 million to Pitney Bowes. In connection with the settlement, E-Stamp recovered insurance proceeds of approximately $1.8 million. The net expense of approximately $200,000 related to the settlement is included in gain on disposal of discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. Consumer Class Action Suit On March 16, 2001, a prior customer of E-Stamp, Mr. Joseph Pavel, filed a purported consumer class action suit against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Kings. The suit alleges that the Company breached its contracts with the plaintiff and other customers. The plaintiff seeks unspecified damages and disgorgement of monies received in connection with the sale of Internet postage products. By agreement of the parties, the plaintiff dismissed the New York action and refiled in Santa Clara County on or about May 24, 2001. The Company filed its answer to the complaint on June 18, 2001. The Company is currently investigating the claims against it and intends to vigorously defend this action. Pendency of these legal proceedings can be expected to result in expenses to the Company and the diversion of management time and other resources. Francotyp-Postalia Litigation On April 9, 2001, the Company filed a complaint for declaratory relief against Francotyp-Postalia, AG & Co. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California seeking a declaratory judgment for a dispute arising under a letter agreement regarding certain marketing and promotional arrangements and Francotyp-Postalia's purchase in July 1998 of E-Stamp's Series B preferred stock for $3 million. On April 26, 2001, Francotyp-Postalia filed a complaint against the Company in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware, New Castle County regarding the dispute seeking rescission of the original purchase of the preferred stock. On May 21, 2001, the Company filed a motion to remove Francotyp-Postalia's action to the United States District Court in Delaware. The Company is continuing to investigate the claims against it. 9. Subsequent Events On August 2, 2001, the Company's common stock was delisted from the Nasdaq National Market and began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. On August 3, 2001, Sales and Marketing Technologies, Inc. filed suit against the Company and certain of its officers in the Superior Court of California, San Mateo County, California, alleging breach of contract, fraud and unfair competition in connection with a consulting agreement between the plaintiff and the Company. The plaintiff seeks unspecified general and compensatory damages, treble damages and equitable remedies. The Company is investigating the claims against it and intends to vigorously defend this action. 11 12 ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations This report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, those specifically identified as such, that involve risks and uncertainties. The statements contained in this report on Form 10-Q that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements, including without limitation statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. All forward-looking statements included in this report on Form 10-Q are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth in the "Risk Factors" contained in this management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations and elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q. Overview We originally provided an Internet postage service that enabled users to purchase, download and print Internet postage directly from their personal computers without the need to maintain a persistent Internet connection. In May 2000, we acquired two companies, Infinity Logistics Corporation and Automated Logistics Corp. These companies offered transportation management and warehouse management products and services that allowed enterprise customers to review carrier rates and shipping options, select a carrier, print shipping labels, track shipments and create shipping reports. During 2000, we undertook two corporate restructurings. In July 2000, we restructured our organization to focus on the development, marketing and sales of our transportation management products and services and reduce our emphasis on our Internet postage business. In November 2000, we restructured the organization to phase out our Internet postage business. We incurred charges of approximately $20.3 million related to these restructurings. On April 19, 2001, we entered into a merger agreement with Learn2.com, Inc., a provider of e-learning products and services. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Learn2 will merge with E-Stamp, with E-Stamp remaining as the surviving corporation. The merger is subject to certain conditions set forth in the merger agreement, including a minimum net cash requirement, as defined in the merger agreement, at the closing date and the approval of the stockholders of E-Stamp and Learn2. We also have discontinued our remaining transportation management business. Therefore, our condensed financial statements and notes included herein reflect our businesses as discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30. The results of discontinued operations do not include any interest income, interest expense or allocation of corporate expenses. In the event that the merger is completed, we intend to conduct the e-learning solutions business of Learn2. Results of Operations Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Continuing Operations General corporate expenses. General corporate expenses consist of general and administrative overhead expenses, including expenses associated with the general responsibilities of a public company, and exclude those costs associated with our transportation management and Internet postage businesses. These expenses include salaries and related costs for certain administrative functions, professional services, including legal and accounting services, insurance and an allocation of facilities costs. The increase in these expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2000 was primarily due to higher compensation costs resulting from the payment of retention and other bonuses and the forgiveness of loans to two officers. This increase was substantially offset by lower amortization of deferred stock compensation, which is recorded using the graded vesting method. 12 13 Interest income, net. Interest income, net, consists primarily of earnings on our cash and cash equivalents, net of interest expense. Interest income, net, was expense of $14,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, compared to income of $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. The decrease in interest income, net, was due to decreased interest earned as a result of lower average cash balances resulting from our continued use of cash to fund our operations. Discontinued operations Gain (loss) from discontinued operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, gain from discontinued operations reflects the operating expenses related to our transportation management solutions business through the measurement date of April 17, 2001 offset by the reversal of excess restructuring reserves and the reversal of an excess allowance for doubtful accounts recorded during the period. There were no revenues recorded during this period. For the three months ended June 30, 2000, loss from discontinued operations reflects the operating expenses related to our Internet postage and transportation management businesses net of revenues of $1.6 million. Gain on disposal of discontinued operations. In April 2001, we sold all of our patent and patent applications and certain trademarks and domain names related to our Internet postage business to Stamps.com, Inc. for cash proceeds of $7.5 million. In June 2001, we sold our maintenance contracts and trademarks related to our DigitalShipper and e-Receive products to Data Track Technologies of California, Inc. for cash proceeds of $55,000 and a promissory note of $110,000. We recorded gains totaling approximately $7.7 million related to these transactions. These gains were partially offset by costs of discontinuing the transportation management business, including costs related to shutting down the business's operations after the April 17, 2001 measurement date, charges for fixed asset impairment and an accrual for lease termination costs. Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Continuing operations General corporate expenses. General corporate expenses decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2000 primarily due to lower amortization of deferred stock compensation, which is recorded using the graded vesting method. This decrease was substantially offset by higher compensation costs resulting from the payment of retention and other bonuses and the forgiveness of loans to two officers, as well as higher professional services costs, including legal and accounting services. Interest income, net. Interest income, net, consists primarily of earnings on our cash and cash equivalents, net of interest expense. Interest income, net, was $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The decrease in interest income, net, was due to decreased interest earned as a result of lower average cash balances resulting from our continued use of cash to fund our operations. Discontinued operations Loss from discontinued operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, loss from discontinued operations reflects the operating expenses related to our transportation management business through the measurement date of April 17, 2001, net of revenues from that business of $0.3 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, loss from discontinued operations reflects the operating expenses related to our Internet postage and transportation management businesses net of revenues of $3.1 million. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2001 were significantly reduced from operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2000 primarily due to reduced headcount resulting from our restructuring efforts in 2000. In addition, we significantly reduced our advertising and promotional activities in the first half of 2001 compared to the first half of 2000. Amortization of deferred stock compensation, which is recorded using the graded vesting method, decreased by $3.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001 from the six months ended June 30, 2000. 13 14 These decreases in operating expenses were partially offset by charges totaling $4.7 million related to the amortization and write off of goodwill and other intangible assets related to our transportation management solutions business. During the first quarter of 2001 we identified possible indicators of impairment of these assets and determined that these assets had a fair value of zero. In addition, we wrote off property and equipment held for disposal as a result of reduced employee headcount totaling $1.4 million. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2001, loss from discontinued operations was partially offset by the reversal of excess restructuring accruals related to Internet postage refunds and to certain contract terminations. We also reversed an excess allowance for doubtful accounts. These reversals totaled $1.0 million. Gain on disposal of discontinued operations. In April 2001, we sold all of our patent and patent applications and certain trademarks and domain names related to our Internet postage business to Stamps.com, Inc. for cash proceeds of $7.5 million. In June 2001, we sold our maintenance contracts and trademarks related to our DigitalShipper and e-Receive products to Data Track Technologies of California, Inc. for cash proceeds of $55,000 and a promissory note of $110,000. We recorded income totaling approximately $7.7 million related to these transactions. This income was partially offset by costs of discontinuing the transportation management business, including costs related to shutting down the business's operations after the April 17, 2001 measurement date, charges for fixed asset impairment and an accrual for lease termination costs. Liquidity and Capital Resources Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through private and public sales of equity securities. We have received net proceeds of approximately $72.9 million in private placements of our equity securities and net proceeds of $125.4 million from the initial public offering of our common stock. As of June 30, 2001, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $17.1 million. Net cash used in operating activities totaled $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and $44.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Cash used in operating activities for the periods presented resulted primarily from net operating losses during those periods partially offset by non-cash charges. Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and net cash used in investing activities totaled $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash was provided from a decrease in restricted cash offset by an advance to Learn2 and amounts expended related to our pending merger with Learn2. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, cash was used to acquire Infinity and Automated Logistics and to purchase property and equipment. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. We have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. At June 30, 2001, we had an accumulated deficit of $201.9 million. There can be no assurance that we will be able to close the merger. Our discontinuance of our remaining operations raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern if we are unable to complete our merger with Learn2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 establishes methods of accounting for business combinations entered into after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 establishes methods of accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets arising from a business combination. SFAS No. 142 also establishes methods of amortizing goodwill and other intangible assets and evaluating these assets for impairment. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. We expect that our pending merger with Learn2.com, Inc. will result in negative 14 15 goodwill, which will be allocated on a pro rata basis to reduce the fair values of the non-current assets acquired, including other identifiable intangible assets. Therefore, we do not expect that these pronouncements will have a significant effect on our results of operations or financial position or on our accounting for our pending merger with Learn2. RISK FACTORS If the conditions to the merger with Learn2 are not met or waived, the merger may not occur. Specified conditions must be satisfied or waived to complete the merger with Learn2. The conditions relating to stockholder approval, the absence of laws, regulations or orders preventing the merger, and the effectiveness of the registration statement must be satisfied prior to the completion of the merger and may not be waived by us or Learn2. We cannot assure you that each of these conditions will be satisfied. The other conditions relating to the accuracy of each company's representations, compliance with covenants, the absence of a material adverse effect on either company and our minimum net cash may be waived by agreement of us and Learn 2. If the conditions are not satisfied or waived, as applicable, the merger will not occur or will be delayed, and the intended benefits of the merger may not occur. In particular, if we do not satisfy the minimum net cash requirement of $13 million, as determined in accordance with the merger agreement, Learn2 is not required to close. If the merger is not completed, we will have no ongoing operations and no revenues to support us as a going concern. We may not be able to implement successfully a new restructuring plan if the merger does not occur. Based on the fact that we discontinued our transportation management business, we will be unable to generate revenues going forward as a standalone entity. Upon consummation of the merger, we intend to continue and grow Learn2's business as a means of generating revenue. If the merger is not completed, we may not be able to implement successfully a new restructuring plan capable of generating sufficient revenues to support us as a going concern. Failure to complete the proposed merger could adversely affect our stock price and future business and operations. The merger is subject to the approval of E-Stamp's and Learn2's stockholders and specified closing conditions. In the event that the merger is not successfully completed, we may be subject to a number of material risks, including the following: - - the price of our common stock may decline to the extent that the current market price for its common stock reflects a market assumption that the proposed merger will be completed; and - - we must pay costs related to the proposed merger, such as legal, accounting, and financial advisory fees, even if the merger is not completed. In addition, in the event that the merger is not completed, our board of directors may not be able to secure a similar strategic transaction to provide us with a continuing business. The merger will result in substantial costs whether or not completed. The merger will result in significant costs to us. Transaction costs are estimated at approximately $5.0 million, of which E-Stamp will incur a substantial portion. These costs are expected to consist primarily of fees for investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, filing fees and financial printers. A substantial amount of these costs will be incurred whether or not the merger is completed. Our securities have been delisted from the Nasdaq National Market. Our securities were delisted from the Nasdaq National Market on August 2, 2001. The delisting may impact adversely the liquidity of our securities, not only in the 15 16 number of shares that can be bought or sold, but also through delays in timing of transactions and reductions in potential security analyst and media coverage. This may reduce the demand for our common stock and the trading price of our securities. The delisting will greatly impair our ability to raise additional working capital. Our common stock currently trades on the OTC Bulletin Board and is subject to regulation as a "penny stock." The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price or exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions, including listing on the Nasdaq National Market or the Nasdaq Small Cap Market. For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and must have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer is also subject to additional sales practice requirements. Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of holders to sell these securities in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities. If we were to reapply to list our securities on Nasdaq, we might reapply for listing on The Nasdaq Small Cap Market rather than The Nasdaq National Market. Compared to securities listed on The Nasdaq National Market, securities listed on The Nasdaq Small Cap Market are not quoted in regional newspapers, are less likely to receive analyst coverage and are less likely to be invested in by institutional investors. In addition, securities traded on The Nasdaq Small Cap Market are not exempt from state securities laws. We have a history of losses and an accumulated deficit; we may continue to experience losses. For the year ended December 31, 2000, we incurred a net loss of $112.8 million and for the six months ended June 30, 2001, we incurred a net loss of $13.2 million. At June 30, 2001, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $201.9 million. Learn2 has also incurred substantial losses to date. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. In addition, in connection with the acquisition of Learn2, we will incur significant accounting charges. These losses will be substantial, and we may not ever become profitable. We may incur additional liabilities and expenses in connection with the phase out of our business. We have discontinued our business of providing transportation management software products. We may incur additional liabilities and expenses in connection with the discontinuation of our transportation management business, including liabilities and expenses arising from the termination of existing contracts and other commitments, that could have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and results of operations. Costs and expenses directly related to the discontinuance of our DigitalShipper business include charges associated with the write-down of fixed assets, rent and other facilities-related expenses, costs associated with terminating contractual arrangements, employee termination costs and legal, accounting can consulting fees. At June 30, 2001, we accrued an estimate of the remaining costs and expenses related to the discontinuance of our DigitalShipper business. We expect that the proceeds derived from the sale of our assets, including our intellectual property, will exceed the costs of discontinuing our operations. While we believe that we have a reasonable basis for estimating these costs, there can be no assurance that additional costs in excess of those accrued will not be incurred. 16 17 A prior customer, Mr. Joseph Pavel, filed a purported consumer class action suit against us alleging that we breached our contract with the plaintiff and other customers. The plaintiff seeks unspecified damages and disgorgement of monies received in connection with the sale of our Internet postage products. Sales and Marketing Technologies, Inc. also has filed a complaint against us alleging breach of contract, fraud and unfair competition in connection with a consulting agreement with the plaintiff. The plaintiff seeks unspecified general and compensatory damages, treble damages and equitable remedies. In addition, Francotyp-Postalia, AG & Co. has filed a complaint against us alleging that we breached a letter agreement regarding marketing and promotional arrangements. Francotyp-Postalia is seeking the rescission of its original purchase in July 1998 of Series B preferred stock of E-Stamp for $3,000,000. Pendency of these litigation matters can be expected to result in expenses to us and the diversion of management time and other resources, the extent of which cannot be quantified with any reasonable accuracy given the early stage of these litigation matters. If these parties are successful in their claims against us, we may be liable for significant damages. ITEM 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosure about Market Risk Disclosures About Market Risk The following discusses our exposure to market risk related to changes in interest rates, equity prices and foreign currency exchange rates. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the caption "Risk Factors." Interest Rate Risk As of June 30, 2001, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $17.1 million invested in short term investments. Due to the short-term nature of these investments and our investment policies and procedures, we have determined that the risk associated with interest rate fluctuations related to these financial instruments does not pose a material risk to us. As of June 30, 2001, we did not have any outstanding short or long-term debt. Increases in interest rates could, however, increase the interest expense associated with our future borrowings, if any. We do not hedge against interest rate increases. Equity Price Risk As of June 30, 2001, we did not hold any equity investments. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk We do not believe we have any significant direct foreign currency exchange rate risk. We do not hedge against foreign currency exchange rate changes. PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings Pitney Bowes Litigation On June 18, 2001, we entered into an agreement with Pitney Bowes, Inc. to settle all litigation between the companies. The litigation, which included patent infringement claims by Pitney Bowes and antitrust counterclaims by E-Stamp, was resolved without admission of liability. Under the settlement agreement, each party released and covenanted not to sue the other in connection with past activities, we agreed to an injunction against the infringement of any patents asserted by Pitney Bowes in the litigation and we paid $2 million to Pitney Bowes. In connection with the settlement, we recovered insurance proceeds of approximately $1.8 million. 17 18 Consumer Class Action Suit On March 16, 2001, a prior customer of E-Stamp, Mr. Joseph Pavel, filed a purported consumer class action suit against us in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Kings. The suit alleges that we breached our contracts with the plaintiff and other customers. The plaintiff seeks unspecified damages and disgorgement of monies received in connection with the sale of Internet postage products. By agreement of the parties, the plaintiff dismissed the New York action and refiled in Santa Clara County on or about May 24, 2001. We filed our answer to the complaint on June 18, 2001. We are currently investigating the claims against us and intend to vigorously defend this action. Pendency of these legal proceedings can be expected to result in expenses to us and the diversion of management time and other resources. Francotyp-Postalia Litigation On April 9, 2001, we filed a complaint for declaratory relief against Francotyp-Postalia, AG & Co. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California seeking a declaratory judgment for a dispute arising under a letter agreement regarding certain marketing and promotional arrangements and Francotyp-Postalia's purchase in July 1998 of our Series B preferred stock for $3 million. On April 26, 2001, Francotyp-Postalia filed a complaint against us in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware, New Castle County regarding the dispute seeking rescission of the original purchase if the preferred stock. On May 21, 2001, we filed a motion to remove Francotyp-Postalia's action to the United States District Court in Delaware. We are continuing to investigate the claims against us. Sales and Marketing Technologies Litigation On August 3, 2001, Sales and Marketing Technologies, Inc. filed suit against E-Stamp and certain of its officers in the Superior Court of California, San Mateo County, California, alleging breach of contract, fraud and unfair competition in connection with a consulting agreement between the plaintiff and us. The plaintiff seeks unspecified general and compensatory damages, treble damages and equitable remedies. We are investigating the claims against us and intend to vigorously defend this action.
