Statements The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of CorVu Corporation and Subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The results for the periods indicated are unaudited, but reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which management considers necessary for a fair presentation of operating results. Operating results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2004. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2003. (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Revenue Recognition Software license revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria have been met: there is an executed license agreement, software has been delivered to the customer, the license fee is fixed and payable within twelve months, collection is deemed probable and product returns are reasonably estimable. Revenues related to multiple element arrangements are allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the fair values of elements such as license fees, maintenance, and professional services. Fair value is determined based on vendor specific objective evidence. Maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract, typically 12 to 36 months. Consulting and other revenues are recognized when services are performed. Deferred revenue represents payment received or amounts billed in advance of services to be performed. 5 (b) Net Income (Loss) per Common Share Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus all additional common stock that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common stock related to stock options and warrants had been issued. Weighted average shares outstanding-diluted includes 969,637 and 1,071,879 shares of dilutive securities for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2002, respectively. Dilutive common equivalent shares have not been included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2003 because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Following is a reconciliation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended December 31, December 31, ----------------------------------- ---------------------------------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 ---------------- ----------------- ---------------- ---------------- Net income (loss) $ (797,037) 937,943 (1,182,214) 1,968,875 Weighted average shares outstanding 22,448,705 22,277,197 22,369,380 21,693,305 Net income (loss) per common share--basic $ (0.04) 0.04 (0.05) 0.09 Net income (loss) per common share -- diluted: Net income (loss) $ (797,037) 937,943 (1,182,214) 1,968,875 Weighted average shares outstanding 22,448,705 22,277,197 22,369,380 21,693,305 Common stock equivalents 0 969,637 0 1,071,879 Weighted average shares and potential diluted shares outstanding 22,448,705 23,246,834 22,369,380 22,765,184 Net income (loss) per common share-- Diluted $ (0.04) 0.04 (0.05) 0.09 The Company uses the treasury method for calculating the dilutive effect of the stock options and warrants (using the average market price). 6 Options and warrants to purchase 4,205,077 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $2.24 were outstanding at December 31, 2002 but were excluded from the computation of common share equivalents for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002 because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares. Options and warrants outstanding at December 31, 2003 totaling 7,681,973 were excluded from the computation of common share equivalents for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2003 as they were anti-dilutive. (c) Stock-Based Compensation In accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations, the Company uses the intrinsic value-based method for measuring stock-based compensation cost which measures compensation cost as the excess, if any, of quoted market price of the Company's common stock at the grant date over the amount the employee must pay for the stock. The Company's general policy is to grant stock options at fair value at the date of grant. Options and warrants issued to non-employees are recorded at fair value, as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", using the Black Scholes pricing method. Has compensation cost been recognized based on the fair value of options at the grant dates consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income (loss) and basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share would have been changed to the following pro forma amounts: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended December 31, December 31, ----------------------------------- ---------------------------------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 ---------------- ----------------- ---------------- ---------------- Net income (loss): As reported $ (797,037) 937,943 (1,182,214) 1,968,875 Pro forma (853,173) 811,676 (1,286,043) 1,716,814 Basic net income (loss) per common share: As reported (0.04) 0.04 (0.05) 0.09 Pro forma (0.04) 0.04 (0.06) 0.08 Diluted net income (loss) per common share: As reported (0.04) 0.04 (0.05) 0.09 Pro forma (0.04) 0.03 (0.06) 0.08 Stock based compensation: As reported 97,516 0 108,504 64,194 Pro forma 56,136 126,267 103,829 252,061 In determining the compensation cost of options granted during the three and six months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, as specified by SFAS No. 123, the fair value of each option grant has been estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the weighted average assumptions used in these calculations are summarized as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended December 31, December 31, ----------------------------------- ---------------------------------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 ---------------- ----------------- ---------------- ---------------- Risk-free interest rate 3.25% 2.625-4.375% 2.625-3.25% 2.625-4.375% Expected life of options granted 7 years 7 years 7 years 7 years Expected volatility 84% 84% 84% 84% Expected dividend yield 0% 0% 0% 0% 7 (3) Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) and its components consist of the following:: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended -------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- December 31, December 31, December 31, December 31, 2003 2002 2003 2002 ------------------ ------------------ ----------------- ------------------ Net income (loss) $ (797,037) 937,943 (1,182,214) $ 1,968,875 Other comprehensive loss: Foreign currency translation adjustment (281,460) (59,636) (308,126) (133,635) ------------------ ------------------ ----------------- ------------------ Comprehensive income (loss) $ (1,078,497) $ 878,307 $ (1,490,340) $ 1,835,240 ================== ================== ================= ================== (4) Income Taxes Through June 30, 2003, the Company has U.S. net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $5,480,000. The net operating loss carryforwards expire in the years 2010 through 2021. The Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $2,615,000 as of June 30, 2003. Previous to that time, the Company fully reserved the deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of its use in future periods. The Company continues to evaluate the deferred tax asset and will record a valuation allowance accordingly. Federal tax laws impose significant restrictions on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in the event of a change in ownership of the Company which constitutes an "ownership change," as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, Section 382. The Company's net operating loss carryforward may be subject to the above limitations. (5) Notes Payable- Stockholder The Company has received interest-bearing advances from a stockholder under short-term notes. The notes bear interest at 8.5% and mature on December 31, 2006, with the right to demand payment after December 31, 2004. The notes are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. Interest expense was $15,384 and $14,932 for the three month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively and was $32,638 and $29,453 for the six month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. (6) Line of Credit In April 2003, the Company entered into a one-year revolving line of credit agreement with a bank with a credit limit of $300,000. The line of credit carries an interest rate based on the prime rate plus 2% (6.0% at December 31, 2003), is secured by the assets of its wholly-owned subsidiary CorVu North America, Inc. and is guaranteed by the Company. The amount outstanding as of December 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003 was $300,000 and $250,000, respectively, which is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Interest expense was $2,933 and $6,252 for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2003, respectively, which is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. 8 (7) Consulting Agreement In September 2002, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with GlobalNet Venture Partners, L.L.C. (GlobalNet) to provide management advisory services for a period of 30 months. In exchange for these services, the Company paid GlobalNet a fee of $26,500 per month. In addition, GlobalNet could earn additional fees under the agreement as a result of its involvement in obtaining financing and for introducing and developing strategic partnerships that result in revenue to the Company. The agreement could be terminated by either party upon 60 days written notice. As part of the services to be provided under this agreement, a principal of GlobalNet agreed to serve as the Company's Chairman of the Board for a period of 24 months. On July 1, 2003, the Company entered into a restructuring agreement with GlobalNet pursuant to which GlobalNet ceased to provide monthly consulting services to the Company. As part of the restructuring agreement, the principal of GlobalNet who was serving as the Company's Chairman of the Board resigned from that position effective July 31, 2003. In addition, the Company repurchased 560,000 shares of the Company's common stock that was previously held by GlobalNet for a price of $0.27 per share by canceling $151,200 of the promissory note that existed between the two parties and adjusting the balance of the note to $172,800. (8) Stock Purchase In September 2002, the Company sold 1.2 million shares of the Company's common stock to GlobalNet at a price of $0.27 per share under a stock purchase agreement. GlobalNet paid the entire purchase price by delivering a promissory note to the Company and pledged the stock purchased as security for the note. The note carried an interest rate of 5.5% per annum through September 2, 2009, with interest payable quarterly starting September 30, 2002. The note was a limited recourse note in that in the event of non-payment, the Company's only recourse was against the pledged shares. On September 15, 2003, under separate agreements, the Company exercised its option to repurchase 440,000 shares at a price of $0.62 per share from GlobalNet by reducing the principal balance of the promissory note held by $118,800 and agreeing to make cash payments totaling $154,000. In addition, for the remaining 200,000 shares of common stock held by GlobalNet, the Company converted those shares into 112,903 fully paid shares by reducing the remaining principal balance under the promissory note ($54,000) to zero. (9) Sale of Common Stock During the quarter ended December 31, 2003, the Company sold 1,800,001 shares of common stock at a price of $0.75 per share to several accredited investors under a private placement, the proceeds of which totaled approximately $1.2 million, net of associated expenses. In connection therewith, the Company issued three year warrants to the investors which allows them to purchase a total of 540,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.25 per share. In addition, the Company issued five year warrants in exchange for services performed in connection with the private placement for a total of 69,066 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $.90-$1.25 per share. 9 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations For the Three and Six Month Periods Ended December 31, 2003 versus December 31, 2002 REVENUES: Total revenue increased 1% for the three month period ended December 31, 2003 and decreased 10% for the six month period ended December 31, 2003, compared to the same periods a year ago. Overall, the weakening of the U.S. dollar, in relation to our foreign currencies (Australian dollar and U.K. pound) has increased revenues by approximately $200,000 for the six month period ended December 31, 2003. Software revenues decreased $352,712 (17%) and $1,593,280 (33%) for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2003, respectively, from the same periods last year. As was reported in the Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, software revenues were extremely favorable for the six month period ended December 31, 2002 due to the closing of several large license transactions. In addition, a significant turnover in the salesforce in the U.S. and Europe has contributed to the decline in revenues for the quarter as these new employees become trained and begin to build their pipelines. Although we continue to trail revenues from fiscal year 2003, software revenues increased in the three month period ended December 31, 2003 over the previous quarter (September 30, 2003) by 28% ($389,807), which shows the improvement in sales performance due in part to improved conditions as it relates to corporate spending on business software. Maintenance revenues increased $125,534 (12%) and $479,896 (24%) for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2003, respectively, from the same periods last year. These results reflect continued improvement of maintenance contract renewals and collections. Consulting and other revenues increased $278,955 (41%) and $308,503 (19%), for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2003, respectively, from the same periods last year. These results reflect continued utilization of our professional services personnel required to service the increased demand for consulting and training services. OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES: Operating expenses increased $1,080,078 (30%) and $1,646,759 (23%) for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2003, respectively, from the same periods last year. Overall, the weakening of the U.S. dollar, in relation to our foreign currencies (Australian dollar and U.K. pound) has increased operating costs and expenses by approximately $200,000 for the six month period ended December 31, 2003. Cost of maintenance, consulting and other expenses increased $28,744 (3%) and $111,817 (7%) for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2003, respectively, from the same periods last year due to continued demand for our consulting and training services. Product development costs increased $120,567 (37%) and $283,173 (46%) for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2003, respectively, from the same periods last year. Development staffing has increased by 11% (2 positions) as we continue to further enhance and improve our product offerings, as well as develop new products like our budgeting and financial consolidation module. In addition, we have reclassified certain overhead expenses to this category that had previously been categorized elsewhere. Sales and marketing expenses increased $544,761 (36%) and $927,297 (33%) for the three and six month periods ended December 31 2003, respectively, from the same periods last year. These increases are the result of a 23% increase in sales positions (an increase of 8 positions), primarily in the U.S. region. In addition, other increases have occurred in sales related expenses, such as travel expenses, and in marketing expenses, due to our increased activities in business shows and performance management and balanced scorecard seminars. General and administrative expenses increased $386,006 (40%) and $324,472 (16%) for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2003, respectively, from the same periods last year. Increases in insurance costs and investor relations activities, including non-cash charges for warrants issued for services of approximately $109,000, have contributed to these increases. 10 INTEREST EXPENSE, NET: Interest expense, net decreased $1,321 (6%) and $8,551 (17%) for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2003, respectively, compared to the same periods last year due to lower debt levels. BENEFIT FROM INCOME TAXES: For the three month period ended December 31, 2002, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $708,000. In previous periods, the Company had fully reserved the deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of its use in future periods.

The accounting policies used in preparing our interim 2004 consolidated financial statements are the same as those described in our annual report, and are as follows: We believe the critical accounting policies listed below affect significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenues in accordance with the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition," as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, as well as Technical Practice Aids issued from time to time by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition." We license software under non-cancelable license agreements and provide related professional services, including consulting, training, and implementation services, as well as ongoing customer support and maintenance. Consulting, training and implementation services are not essential to the functionality of our software products, are sold separately and also are available from a number of third-party service providers. Accordingly, revenues from these services are generally recorded separately from the license fee. Our specific revenue recognition policies are as follows: Software License Fees -- Software license fee revenues from end-users and resellers are generally recognized when there is an executed license agreement, software has been delivered to the customer, the license fee is fixed and payable within 12 months, collection is deemed probable and product returns are reasonably estimable. Revenues related to multiple element arrangements are allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the fair values of elements such as license fees, maintenance, and professional services. Fair value is determined based on vendor specific objective evidence. Maintenance, Consulting and other - Revenues from training and consulting services are recognized as services are provided to customers. Revenues from maintenance contracts are deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreements. Software Development Costs. Software development costs are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility is established. Software development costs incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful lives. Management is required to use professional judgment in determining whether development costs meet the criteria for immediate expense or capitalization. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required or revenue could be deferred until collectibility becomes probable. Contingencies. We are subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies in the normal course of business. We accrue for loss contingencies when a loss is estimable and probable. 12 Cautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, including the information incorporated by reference herein and the exhibits hereto, and other written and oral statements made from time to time by us may include "forward-looking" statements. Forward-looking statements broadly involve our current expectations for future results. Any statement that is not a historical fact, including estimates, projections, future trends and the outcome of events that have not yet occurred, are forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements generally relate to our financing plans, trends affecting our financial condition or results of operations, our growth and operating strategy, product development, competitive strengths, the scope of our intellectual property rights, sales efforts, and the declaration and payment of dividends. Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "could" "estimates," "expects," "forecast," "intend," "may," "plan," "possible," "project," "should," "will" and similar expressions generally identify our forward-looking statements. You must carefully consider forward-looking statements and understand that such statements involve a variety of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, and may be affected by a number of factors, including, among others, the factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2003. We also caution you that forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, but investors are advised to consult any further disclosures by us on this subject in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, especially on Forms 10-KSB, 10-QSB, and 8-K (if any), in which we discuss in more detail various important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected or historic results. We intend to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding our forward-looking statements, and are including this sentence for the express purpose of enabling us to use the protections of the safe harbor with respect to all forward-looking statements. Item 3 Controls and Procedures Management of the Company has evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management of the Company has also evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, any change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB. There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in that evaluation that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties due to the small number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial matters. However, management has decided that considering the employees involved and the control procedures in place, risks associated with such lack of segregation are insignificant and the potential benefits of adding employees to clearly segregate duties do not justify the expenses associated with such increases. 13 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
