    EDISON, N.J.--Feb. 3, 2004--I-many, Inc. (NASDAQ:IMNY), the leader
in enterprise contract management solutions, reported financial
results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2003.
    Net revenues for the fourth quarter totaled $10.8 million, an
increase of 48.2% versus the $7.3 million reported in the third
quarter of 2003 and a decrease of 7.6% versus the $11.7 million
reported in the fourth quarter of 2002. License revenue increased
249.7% from $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2003 and decreased
32.5% from $6.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2002. Service revenue
of $6.5 million represented an increase of 7.4% versus $6.1 million in
the third quarter and an increase of 22.1% from $5.3 million in the
fourth quarter of 2002.
    Net revenues for the full year 2003 totaled $39.4 million versus
$54.7 million for the full year 2002. Of this total, license revenue
decreased 53.6% to $14.3 million, and services revenue increased 5.0%
to $25.1 million, from the full year 2002.
    GAAP loss for the fourth quarter was $(0.11) per share versus
$(0.46) in the fourth quarter 2002. On a pro forma basis, the loss for
the fourth quarter 2003 was $(0.02) per share versus $(0.07) in fourth
quarter 2002. GAAP loss for 2003 was $(0.98) per share versus $(0.69)
in 2002. On a pro forma basis, the 2003 loss was $(0.31) per share

intangibles, depreciation expense, non-cash option and warrant
charges, restructuring and other charges, terminated deal transaction
costs and in-process research and development. A more detailed
reconciliation of the differences between pro forma and GAAP results
is included in the financial tables in this press release.
    Total deferred revenue at quarter-end was $11 million versus $7.6

Year-end cash including restricted cash and short-term investments
stood at $25.1 million as of December 31, 2003 versus $37.1 million as
of December 31, 2002.

    Significant achievements in the quarter include:

    --  5 new customers including: a top 20 pharmaceutical
        manufacturer; and Rona, Canada's leading home improvement
        products retailer and one of that country's largest retailers

    --  Broadened product sales to 7 existing customers

    --  Strengthened Silicon Valley product development team

    --  New versions of Contract Manager, Compliance Manager,

        Management Foundation

    I-many CEO and president A. Leigh Powell commented, "I am very
excited about our performance and overall achievements in the fourth
quarter. We delivered revenue at the high end of our guidance range;
further reduced our cost structure; landed significant new customers,
bringing us to 18 of the top 20 largest pharmaceutical companies in
the world; and supported a substantial number of successful customer
"go-lives." Additionally, we significantly strengthened our Silicon
Valley based development center team, released generation 2.0 of
I-many Enterprise Contract Management Platform (ECMF), a true
Enterprise Class Contract Management platform, and made meaningful
inroads into new vertical market segments."
    Mr. Powell continued, "I-many is leading the development of an
emerging market that is gaining traction with corporations across
industries. Our first-mover advantage put us far ahead of the contract
management development curve, and we are committed to extending this
lead with greater breadth of product, functionality, ease of use and
service. 2004 will be a year in which we focus on leveraging our
development investment to new verticals against the backdrop of a
leaner, stronger operating base. We are very excited about the
potential ahead and about the strength of our leadership position as
this market continues to fully develop."

    2004 Strategic Plan

    In 2004, I-many will launch an aggressive product introduction
plan that leverages a focused 2-plus year next generation R&D
development process and 14 years of experience as a Contract
Management pioneer with the next generation of ContractSphere and its
accompanying I-many ECMF platform. Elements of this plan include:

    --  Product - Release the next-generation enterprise platform,
        ECMF 3.0, an enhanced backbone supporting a wider variety of
        modular products; Launch industry-agnostic modular products to
        create a new suite designed to expand the breath and
        functionality of current generation ContractSphere; Extend
        core product capabilities via the ECMF platform to mirror
        industry specific needs and requirements.

    --  Sales and Service - Managed adoption and/or migration of
        existing and new customers onto ECMF 3.0; Cross-sell
        additional modules and seed new customers and new verticals
        with strong reference accounts.

    2004 Guidance

    Financial Goals

    --  Revenues of $20-22 million for the first half of 2004, with
        the Life Science segment sales planned flat and Non-Life
        Science revenue planned up;

    --  Total GAAP operating expenses including cost of revenue of
        $24.5 to $25.8 million for the first half of 2004 versus $49.9
        million for the first half of 2003;

    --  Total pro forma cash operating expenses of $20.5 to $21.5
        million for the first half of 2004 versus $28.2 million for
        the first half of 2003 (pro forma cash operating expenses
        differ from GAAP operating expenses as it excludes impairment
        of goodwill and acquired intangible assets, non-cash charges
        for amortization of acquired intangibles, depreciation
        expense, non-cash option and warrant charges, restructuring
        and other charges, terminated deal transaction costs and
        in-process research and development estimated to be $4.0 to
        $4.3 million in the first half of 2004);

    --  Cash and short term investments by the end of the first half
        of $21-$24 million

    Mr. Powell concluded, "I-many's next-gen ContractSphere suite is
designed to build on our existing product leadership to deliver broad
based, full contract life-cycle management capabilities across a wide
variety of industries and contract types, while offering the
flexibility to deploy industry specific capabilities in a common
infrastructure. In preparation, over the past 9 months we have
realigned and revitalized our selling staff, with new, highly capable
leadership. Our sales team is energized, and is aggressively
emphasizing to customers ContractSphere's competitive advantages of
expansive functionality, applicability for all contract types on
either the buy or the sell side of the enterprise, strong technology
and unparalleled value proposition. We believe we have the right
people who are committed to building solid and profitable reference
accounts in new verticals while driving repeat sales at existing
customers. We are already seeing stronger cohesiveness and a solid
pipeline of developing customer relationships."

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

    To supplement our GAAP financial statements, the Company uses
non-GAAP, or pro forma measures of operating results. This non-GAAP
financial information is provided as additional information for
investors and is not in accordance with or an alternative to GAAP.
These adjusted results exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and
losses, and we believe their exclusion can enhance an overall
understanding of our past financial performance and also our prospects
for the future. These adjustments to our GAAP results are made with
the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete
understanding of the operating performance of the Company as opposed
to GAAP results, which may include non-recurring, infrequent or other
non-cash charges associated with restructuring, amortization of
purchased intangibles or impairment losses that are not material to
the ongoing performance of the Company's business. Company management
uses these non-GAAP results as a basis for planning and forecasting
core business activity in future periods. The presentation of this
additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or
as a substitute for net earnings or diluted earnings per share
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States.
