NOTE 1 - GENERAL AND BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and accordingly, do not include all information and
footnotes required under accounting principals generally accepted in the United
States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these
interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal,
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position of Forgent Networks, Inc. ("Forgent") as of January 31, 2002 and July
31, 2001, the results of operations for the three and six months ended January
31, 2002 and 2001, and cash flows for the six months ended January 31, 2002 and
2001. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results
for a full fiscal year.

============= =============
Finished goods held for evaluation consist of completed digital visual
communications systems used for demonstration and evaluation purposes.
NOTE 3 - RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES
In August 2001, the Company restructured its organization, which
involved the termination of 65 employees, or 17% of the workforce, who were
assisted with outplacement support and severance. The reduction affected 16
employees in Austin, Texas, 30 employees in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, and
19 employees in remote and international locations. The restructuring was the
result of eliminating certain business elements that did not contribute to
Forgent's core competencies as well as efforts to increase efficiencies and to
significantly reduce administrative costs. All of the employees were terminated
and the Company recorded a one-time charge of $0.8 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 2002 for the restructuring. As of January 31, 2002, almost all of the
involuntary termination benefits had been paid. The remaining benefits will be
fully paid by March 31, 2002.
On August 23, 2000, the Company announced a new business charter and
the restructuring of its organization. The new business charter was intended to
execute a change in business strategy that leveraged Forgent's services and
systems integration capabilities in order to become the industry leader in
providing visual communication solutions over broadband enterprise networks. The
restructuring involved the involuntary termination of approximately 200
employees globally, or 34% of the Company's workforce and the consolidation of
leased office space in its Austin, Texas headquarters, as well as in Sunnyvale,
California and other remote facilities. These workforce reductions and
consolidations of office space reduced costs and focused resources on efforts to
support the new business strategy. The Company
5

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands, except per share and employee data unless otherwise

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
completed all terminations by January 31, 2001. During the three months ended
October 31, 2000, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $1.7 million,
all of which is included in the loss from discontinued operations.
NOTE 4 - COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
In accordance with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income," the Company's other comprehensive
income/(loss) is comprised of net loss, foreign currency translation
adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on short-term investments held as
available-for-sale securities. Comprehensive loss for the three and six months
ended January 31, 2002 was $8.4 million and $12.6 million, respectively, and
comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended January 31, 2001 was $7.7
million and $20.7 million, respectively.
NOTE 5 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
On August 31, 2000 the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as
derivatives) and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 requires the recognition
of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance
Sheet with changes in fair value recorded in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations.
The accounting for changes in fair value of a derivative depends upon
whether it has been designated in a hedging relationship and, further, on the
type of hedging relationship pursuant to SFAS No. 133. Changes in the fair value
of derivatives not designated in a hedging relationship are recognized each
period in earnings. Hedging relationships are established pursuant to the
Company's risk management policies, and are initially and regularly evaluated to
determine whether they are expected to be, and have been, highly effective
hedges. If a derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, hedge accounting
is discontinued prospectively, and future changes in the fair value of the
derivative is recognized in earnings each period. For derivatives designated as
hedges of the variability of cash flows related to a recognized asset or
liability (cash flow hedges), the effective portion of the change in fair value
of the derivatives is reported in other comprehensive income and reclassified
into earnings in the period in which the hedged items affect earnings. Gains or
losses deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income associated with
terminated derivatives remain in accumulated other comprehensive income until
the hedged items affect earnings. Forecasted transactions designated as the
hedged items in cash flow hedges are regularly evaluated to assess that they
continue to be probable of occurring, and if the forecasted transactions are no
longer probable of occurring, any gain or loss deferred in accumulated other
comprehensive income is recognized in earnings currently.
During the six months ended January 31, 2001, the Company utilized
forward currency exchange contracts to reduce the exposure to fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates related to the European Euro and the Australian
Dollar. The changes in these contracts are reflected in the Consolidated
Statement of Operations. The Company also utilized derivatives designated as
cash flow hedges to ensure a minimum level of cashflows as related to its
investment in the Polycom stock. The amount of ineffectiveness with respect to
these cash flow hedges was not material. During the three months ended October
31, 2001, the 77 shares of Polycom were sold under a cash flow hedge and $1.7
million was reclassed from other comprehensive income to earnings.

NOTE 6 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 addresses financial accounting and
reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. Since the standard
recognizes goodwill and certain intangible assets may have indefinite useful
lives, these assets are no longer required to be amortized but are evaluated at
least annually for impairment. Intangible assets with finite useful lives will
continue to be amortized over their useful lives, but without constraint of an
arbitrary ceiling. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company is required to
complete its transitional impairment test, with any resulting impairment loss
recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Subsequent
impairment losses will be reflected in operating income from continuing
operations on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Effective August 1,
2001, the Company chose early adoption of SFAS No. 142, and therefore did not
record any goodwill amortization expenses during the six months ended January
31, 2002. As a result of the transitional impairment test, the Company did not
record any impairment of its goodwill for the six months ended January 31, 2002.
The Company's goodwill, net of accumulated amortization, was $10.6 million at
January 31, 2002 and at July 31, 2001.
As required by SFAS No. 142, the results for the prior year's quarter
have not been restated. A reconciliation of the previously reported net loss and
earnings per share as if SFAS No. 142 had been adopted is presented as follows:

NOTE 7 - SEGMENT INFORMATION
During fiscal year 2001, the Company managed its business primarily
along the lines of three reportable segments: Solutions, Products, and Internet
Ventures. The Solutions segment provides a wide variety of maintenance, network
consulting and support services to customers, and designs and installs custom
integrated visual communication systems primarily in meetings spaces of large
corporations. The Company focused on this core business line, and the Solutions
segment evolved into Forgent Networks, Inc. The Products segment designed,
manufactured, and sold multi-media visual communication products to customers
primarily through a network of resellers, and to a lesser extent directly to
end-users. As a result of the sale of the Products segment, the Products
business was accounted for as discontinued operations for the quarters ending
January 31, 2002, and 2001. The Internet Ventures included OnScreen24(TM), which
delivered and marketed visual communication tools for the Internet and
ArticuLearn(TM), an e-learning portal provider for commercial and educational
businesses that deliver learning content in a Web

environment. OnScreen24's operations were folded back into the core businesses
as of January 31, 2001 and ArticuLearn's operations were terminated as of June
30, 2001.
The Company evaluates the performance as well as the financial results
of its segments. Included in the segment operating income (loss) is an
allocation of certain corporate operating expenses. The Company does not
identify assets or capital expenditures by reportable segments. Additionally,
the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer do not evaluate the
business groups based on these criteria.
The table below presents segment information about revenue from
unaffiliated customers, gross margins, and operating loss for the three and six
months ended January 31, 2002 and 2001:

NOTE 8 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In May 2001, the Company announced its plan to sell its Products
business unit and rename the remaining Solutions business unit as Forgent
Corporation, subject to the execution and consummation of a sale agreement and
shareholder approval. The Company submitted the sale of the Products business to
its shareholders at the 2001 annual meeting, and the proposal was passed. On
January 23, 2002, the Company consummated the sale of the Products business (see
Note 9) and renamed its remaining business as Forgent Networks, Inc. Therefore,
the Company has presented the Products business unit as discontinued operations
on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. For the three and six
months ended January 31, 2002, the Company recorded a $6.0 million and $8.7
million loss for its discontinued operations, respectively. For the three and
six months ended January 31, 2001, the Company recorded a $4.9 million and $12.8
million loss for its discontinued operations, respectively.

NOTE 9 - BUSINESS DISPOSITION
On October 2, 2001, Forgent announced that it had signed a definitive
sales agreement to sell the operations and certain assets of its VTEL Products
business unit, including the VTEL name, in order to devote its energies and
resources to the development of Forgent's services and software business. The
Company's shareholders approved the transaction during its 2001 annual meeting
and the sale was finalized on January 23, 2002. The sale of substantially all of
the assets used in the Products business unit was made to VTEL Products
Corporation ("VTEL"), a privately held company created by the former
Vice-President of Manufacturing of the Products business unit and two other
senior management members of the Products business unit. As a result, the
Company received cash of $0.5 million, a 90-day subordinated promissory note,
bearing interest at an annual rate of five percent, for approximately $1.0
million, a 5-year subordinated promissory note, bearing interest at an annual
rate of five percent, for $5.0 million and 1,045 shares of common stock, par
value $0.01 per share, representing 19.9% of the new company's fully diluted
equity. Additionally, Forgent and VTEL entered into a general license agreement,
in which VTEL was granted certain non-exclusive rights in and to certain
patents, software, proprietary know-how, and information of the Company that was
used in the daily operations of the Products business unit. Due to uncertainties
regarding VTEL's future business, Forgent fully reserved its equity interest in
VTEL. As of July 31, 2001, the Company estimated the loss from the disposal of
the VTEL Products business unit to be $1.1 million. During the three months
ended January 31, 2002, Forgent recorded an additional $0.2 million in expenses
associated with the completion of the sale. As of January 31, 2002, Forgent
employed 196 employees.
NOTE 10 - SALE OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
As of January 31, 2002, the Company had sold $4.2 million of its
outstanding accounts receivable, without any recourse, in efforts to recapture
cash balances lost due to the unanticipated significant drop in sales from
discontinued operations. Silicon Valley Bank purchased the assets for a fee of
1.7% of the value of the accounts receivable sold and a one time set-up fee of
$13 thousand. The Company received proceeds from Silicon Valley Bank of $4.1
million. Under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
and Extinguishments of Liabilities," which Forgent had adopted as of January 31,
2002, a transfer of receivables may be accounted for as a sale if the following
three conditions are met: (1) the transferred assets are isolated from the
transferor, (2) the transferee has the right to pledge or sell the transferred
assets, and (3) the transferor does not maintain control over the transferred
assets. Accordingly, the Company recorded the transfer of the accounts
receivable as a sale of asset, excluded the related receivables from the
Consolidated Balance Sheet and recorded a related expense of $86 thousand for
the three months ended January 31, 2002.
NOTE 11 - ASSET IMPAIRMENT
Initially, management intended to further develop its video streaming
technology, which is a server application with the abilities to create video
e-mail programs and to store streamed video for later non-real time playback, as
an added feature to its current VNP software. Based upon customer feedback
regarding the VNP software during the three months ended January 31, 2002,
customers do not need these advanced features but desire fundamental network
management applications with more robust device level support and value added
network level instrumentation for ISDN and IP networks to enable them to
understand and monitor how well their networks are performing. Therefore,
management reviewed its capitalized software development costs and determined
the video streaming technology will not be used immediately in the development
of VNP, in response to customer demands, but will be reserved for potential
future development. As a result, the $2.4 million capitalized software
development costs associated with technology was impaired as of January 31,
2002.

for the three months ended January 31, 2001. Revenues for the six months ended
January 31, 2002 were $17.1 million, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 17%, from
$20.6 million reported for the six months ended January 31, 2001. Revenues
represent the combined revenues including sale of Forgent's software, network
consulting, installation, training, and maintenance services as well as custom
videoconferencing integration solutions, and multi-vendor products. The revenues
do not include any revenues from the discontinued Products business, which
engages in the manufacture and sale of endpoint systems.
Service revenues decreased by $1.1 million, or 17%, to $5.4 million for
the quarter ended January 31, 2002 from $6.5 million for the quarter ended
January 31, 2001. Service revenues decreased by $2.2 million, or 17%, to $10.9
million for the six months ended January 31, 2002 from $13.1 million. Service
revenues include the maintenance and support of thousands of endpoints and
bridges under maintenance agreements. In the past, the service revenues were
generated primarily on VTEL equipment. During the six months ended January 31,
2002, Forgent witnessed a decrease in the renewal rate of service
10
contracts for VTEL products as they have been retired or replaced more quickly
than anticipated, which contributed to the decline in service revenues. However,
through established strategic relationships with multiple key players in the
video communications industry, Forgent is providing installation, training, and
maintenance to a wider array of videoconferencing devices, including end points,
multipoint control units, gateways, gatekeepers, and traditional network
switches and routers. This business strategy is resulting in other service
revenues that offset the decline in service revenues based primarily on VTEL
equipment. Additionally, management is discussing opportunities with original
equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") regarding exclusive service agreements, which
could increase service revenues. The Company's strategy is to stabilize this
line of business in order to provide cash and accessibility to customers as
Forgent continues to invest and focus on its network software and services.
Network software and services revenues were $0.4 million and $0.5 million
for the three and six months ended January 31, 2002, respectively. These
revenues include sales of Forgent Video Network Platform ("VNP") and other
software, network consulting services, and royalties . VNP, an enterprise-class
network management software that manages video, voice and other types of rich
media on multi-protocol and multi-vendor networks, is designed to schedule,
monitor and manage enterprise video networks from a central location, thus
improving ease-of-use, reliability, and manageability of video communications.
Forgent's network consulting services provide technical market research,
evaluation and analysis to customers as well as the means to test multiple
network systems for manageability, interoperability, and optimum network
connectivity prior to installation or a growth cycle. During the three months
ended January 31, 2002, Forgent sold four VNP licenses, and currently has
several companies evaluating VNP. Although Forgent fielded many inquires from
companies exploring videoconferencing as a viable alternative to business travel
as a result of the September 11, 2001 tragedy, sales activity have not been as
forthcoming as previously anticipated. Although several beta customers expressed
enthusiasm and even verbal commitments to purchase the VNP software, these
companies were unable to make the purchase as of January 31, 2002. However,
feedback from the beta sites, new customers, and new trial participants has been
positive. Respondents stated the software is of high quality, generates few
errors, works reliably, has significant and broad-based functionality, and
requires little support after installation. As a result of the lengthened sales
cycle, affected by the scarce capital spending which caused management to
evaluate and justify all purchases, Forgent is targeting potential customers who
recognize the importance of video networking and are focused on realizing the
functionality and cost-reducing benefits from implementing or enhancing its
videoconferencing infrastructure and is increasing its dedicated VNP sales force
to establish direct relationships with these customers. Futhermore, Forgent is
investigating opportunities to license its existing patent portfolio to generate
additional revenue from royalties.
Integration and other revenues decreased by $0.7 million, or 21%, to
$2.9 million for the quarter ended January 31, 2002 from $3.6 million for the
quarter ended January 31, 2001. Integration and other revenues decreased by $1.7
million, or 23%, to $5.7 million for the six months ended January 31, 2002 from
$7.4 million. Due to the reduction in capital expenditures in today's business
environment, large orders for integration solutions and equipment were either
put on hold or delayed, which resulted in the decline in revenues. Since
Forgent's business strategy is to become a software and services provider for
enterprise video networks, the Company is placing less emphasis on this part of
its legacy business which includes providing custom videoconferencing
integration solutions as well as marketing and distributing a variety of
third-party manufactured equipment through the Multi-Vendor Partners Program
(TM) ("MVP"). Traditionally, the gross margins on this line of business have
been low. Despite the decline in revenues, integration and other sales during
the three and six months ended January 31, 2002 have been more selective and
concentrated on value-added sales with higher margins to improve the Company's
profitability. Although management does not anticipate growing integration and
other revenues, Forgent's depth and breadth of experience and knowledge from
being in the industry over the past two decades allow the Company to provide
these additional offerings in order to distinguish itself from other players in
the industry.
11
Gross margin. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenues was 37%
and 35% for the three and six months ended January 31, 2002, respectively, an
increase from the gross margin as a percentage of total revenues of 23% and 24%
for the three and six months ended January 31, 2002, respectively. Gross margins
increased $0.8 million, or 34%, to $3.2 million for the three months ended
January 31, 2002 from $2.4 million for the three months ended January 31, 2001.
Gross margins increased $1.0 million, or 19%, to $6.0 million for the six months
ended January 31, 2002 from $5.0 million for the six months ended January 31,
2001. Despite the decline in total revenues, gross margins increased for the
three and six months ended January 31, 2002 as compared to the three and six
months ended January 31, 2001 due primarily to aggressive cost management and
competing more on value-added services instead of price.
The Company's margins are primarily generated from service revenues.
The costs associated with the service and maintenance business are labor
intensive and relatively fixed, which causes gross margins to be directly
affected by the level of revenue generated from new and renewed service
contracts. In August 2001, Forgent resized its infrastructure to incur costs
that more closely matched the projected revenue levels. As a result, gross
margins from the service business significantly increased by 54% from $1.6
million to $2.5 million for the three months ended January 31, 2002 and
increased by 35% from $3.5 million to $4.7 million for the six months ended
January 31, 2002. The Company's current infrastructure is capable of handling an
additional 20% volume of service calls without increasing its resources.
Therefore, any growth in service revenues will result in further strengthening
Forgent's margins.
Gross margins for the three and six months ended January 31, 2002 for
the network software and service revenues were negative primarily due to the
amortization of the capitalized software development costs. Since the
capitalized costs is amortized on a straight-line basis, the ramp-up of network
software revenues in subsequent quarters will generate positive gross margins.
Gross margins from integration and other revenues are subject to
product mix shifts based on the types of integration solutions produced and MVP
products sold. The improvement in integration and other margins is due largely
to Forgent's strategy of focusing its sales efforts on more profitable solutions
and competing more on value added solutions versus price. Since management does
not anticipate on growing this portion of the business, generating higher
margins on customized integrated systems and solutions will contribute to the
Company's overall goal of returning to profitability.
Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased by $1.4 million, or 35%, to $2.6 million for
the quarter ended January 31, 2002 from $4.0 million for the quarter ended
January 31, 2001. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $4.1
million, or 42%, to $5.5 million for the six months ended January 31, 2002 from
$9.6 million for the six months ended January 31, 2001. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 31% and 40% for the
three months ended January 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and were 32% and 47%
for the six months ended January 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Total selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") as well as
SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue, have significantly decreased during
the reporting periods in fiscal year 2002, as compared to the corresponding
periods in fiscal year 2001. The SG&A expenses incurred by the Company's
Internet subsidiaries, which were folded back into the core operations during
fiscal 2001, were $0.7 million and $1.8 million for the three and six months
ended January 31, 2001, respectively. Without the effect of the Internet
ventures, total SG&A expenses decreased $0.7 million, or 21% and $2.3 million,
or 29%, for the three and six months ended January 31, 2002, respectively.
12
In efforts to find efficiencies and to significantly reduce our
administrative costs as a percent of expected revenues, the Company reexamined
its overall staffing needs, restructured its operations and recorded a one-time
charge of $0.8 million during the three months ended October 31, 2001. Efforts
to reduce administrative costs during fiscal year 2001, including the closing of
the Sunnyvale, California facility, continue to be realized in fiscal 2002.
Despite the success thus far, management is committed to further decreasing any
unnecessary SG&A expenses that do not directly support the generation of
revenues for Forgent. Despite the cost reducing measures, there can be no
assurance that Forgent will be able to reduce costs enough to become profitable.
Research and development. Research and development expenses decreased
by $0.6 million, or 49%, to $0.7 million for the quarter ended January 31, 2002
from $1.3 million for the quarter ended January 31, 2001. Research and
development expenses decreased by $3.0 million, or 67%, to $1.5 million for the
six months ended January 31, 2002 from $4.5 million for the six months ended
January 31, 2001. Research and development as a percentage of revenues were 8%
and 13% for the three months ended January 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and
were 9% and 22% for the six months ended January 31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively.
During the three and six months ended January 31, 2001, the Company's
subsidiary, OnScreen24(TM), which was comprised primarily of Forgent research
and development engineers who developed visual communication delivery products
for use over the Internet, incurred $1.3 million and $4.5 million in research
and development expenses, respectively. Due to the weakening environment for
start-up businesses and related tightening of the venture capital marketplace,
the Company absorbed its OnScreen24 operations back into the operations of its
core business during fiscal year 2001.
Since the adoption of video as a mission-critical tool has been slow
due to the complexity of the numerous assortment of vendors, devices, and
protocols that have caused reliability, manageability and ease-of-use problems,
VNP is designed to schedule, monitor and manage enterprise video networks from a
central location, thus allowing network administrators to operate and manage
their networks more effectively and efficiently. During the three and six months
ended January 31, 2002, the Company incurred $0.7 million and $1.5 million,
respectively, in research and development expenses, which are related to efforts
on designing Forgent's VNP. These expenses are net of $0.8 million and $1.9
million capitalized during the three and six months ended January 31, 2002,
respectively. As of January 31, 2002, $1.9 million of the Company's capitalized
software expenses relate to the efforts on Forgent's VNP Version 1.0, which
started amortizing during the second fiscal quarter as sales on this software
was realized. The remaining $0.5 million of the Company's capitalized software
expenses relate to the efforts on Forgent's VNP Version 1.1, which will include
a simplified user interface, increased usability, device call control and
improved reporting, and is targeted to be released in June 2002.
The Company filed an additional nine VNP-related patents during the
three months ended January 31, 2002, which brings the total VNP filings count to
twenty-six. Forgent expects to file an additional eight patent applications
during the next fiscal quarter. The Company remains committed to developing its
intellectual property to protect its investment in research and development as
well as to exploring potential revenue streams from its existing patent
portfolio.
The Company's ability to successfully develop software solutions to
enable enterprise video networks will be a significant factor in Forgent's
success. As Forgent develops its research and development strategy, management
anticipates additional costs associated with the recruiting and retention of
engineering professionals adept at broadband technologies. Management will
attempt to maintain research and
13
development expenses at reasonable levels in terms of percentage of revenue.
However, management believes Forgent's ultimate future success is based
primarily on its commitment to the new business strategy and the success of
Forgent VNP.
Asset impairment. Initially, management intended to further develop its
video streaming technology, which is a server application with the abilities to
create video e-mail programs and to store streamed video for later non-real time
playback, as an added feature to its current VNP software. Based upon customer
feedback regarding the VNP software during the three months ended January 31,
2002, customers do not need these advanced features but desire fundamental
network management applications with more robust device level support and value
added network level instrumentation for ISDN and IP networks to enable them to
understand and monitor how well their networks are performing. Therefore,
management reviewed its capitalized software development costs and determined
the video streaming technology will not be used immediately in the development
of VNP, in response to customer demands, but will be reserved for potential
future development. As a result, the $2.4 million capitalized software
development costs associated with technology was impaired as of January 31,
2002.
Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization expenses were $0.3
million and $0.6 million during the three and six months ended January 31, 2001,
respectively. The expenses relate to the amortization of goodwill resulting from
certain acquisitions. Effective August 1, 2001, the Company chose early adoption
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets," which recognizes that since goodwill and certain
intangible assets may have indefinite useful lives, these assets are no longer
required to be amortized but are to be evaluated at least annually for
impairment. Therefore, no amortization expenses were recorded for the three and
six months ended January 31, 2002.
Restructuring charge. During the three months ended October 31, 2001,
the Company restructured its organization, which involved the termination of 65
employees or 17% of the workforce. The restructuring was the result of
eliminating certain business elements that did not contribute to Forgent's core
competencies as well as efforts to increase efficiencies and to significantly
reduce administrative costs. Forgent recorded a one-time charge of $0.8 million
in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 for the restructuring. As of January 31,
2002, almost all of the involuntary termination benefits had been paid. The
remaining benefits will be fully paid by March 31, 2002. During the three months
ended January 31, 2002, the Company has realized the benefits of the
restructuring through lower cost of sales and operating expenses.
Other income (expense). Other income decreased by $1.9 million to $0.0
million for the quarter ended January 31, 2002 from income of $1.9 million for
the quarter ended January 31, 2001. Other income decreased by $0.7 million to
$1.7 million for the six months ended January 31, 2002 from income of $2.4
million for the six months ended January 31, 2001. The decreases are primarily
attributable to two non-core business activities. During the three months ended
January 31, 2001, the Company partially sold its investment in common stock of
Accord Networks Ltd. ("Accord"), a networking equipment manufacturer, which
netted a $1.2 million gain. Polycom, Inc. subsequently acquired Accord and
during the first fiscal quarter of 2002, the Company sold its remaining 76,625
shares of Polycom common stock under a cash flow hedge, resulting in a $1.7
million realized gain. Additionally, during the three and six months ended
January 31, 2001, Forgent managed significantly more interest-earning cash and
short-term investments than the comparable periods ended January 31, 2002. As a
result, interest income decreased by 78% for the three and six months ended
January 31, 2002.
14
Loss from discontinued operations. On January 23, 2002, the Company
finalized the sale of the operations and substantially all of the assets of its
VTEL Products business unit, including the VTEL name. Accordingly, the Products
business has been accounted for and presented as discontinued operations in the
consolidated financial statements. Loss from discontinued operations was $6.0
million and $8.7 million for the three and six months ended January 31, 2002,
respectively. Loss from discontinued operations was $4.9 million and $12.8
million for the three and six months ended January 31, 2001, respectively. Loss
from discontinued operations was 69% and 51% of revenues for the three and six
months ended January 31, 2002, respectively. Loss from discontinued operations
was 48% and 62% of revenues for the three and six months ended January 31, 2001,
respectively. As of July 31, 2001, the Company estimated the loss from the
disposal of the VTEL Products business unit to be $1.1 million. During the three
months ended January 31, 2002, Forgent recorded an additional $0.2 million in
expenses associated with the completion of the sale.
Net loss. Forgent generated a net loss of $8.6 million, or $0.34 per
share, during the quarter ended January 31, 2002 compared to net loss of $6.3
million, or $0.25 per share, during the quarter ended January 31, 2001. Forgent
generated a net loss of $11.1 million, or $0.45 per share, during the six months
ended January 31, 2002 compared to net loss of $20.1 million, or $0.81 per
share, during the six months ended January 31, 2001. The decline in revenue,
asset impairment, and loss from discontinued operations resulted in higher net
losses incurred during the three months ended January 31, 2002, as compared to
the net losses incurred during the three months ended January 31, 2001. Despite
the decrease in revenue during the six months ended January 31, 2002 as compared
to the six months ended January 31, 2001, the improvement in gross margins,
decline in operating expenses and decline in loss from discontinued operations
contributed to the decrease in net loss for the six months ended January 31,
2002.
During fiscal year 2002, Forgent has taken steps to grow its revenues
through VNP sales and increased professional service offerings and video network
consulting, to improve gross margins, to reduce costs by resizing its
infrastructure, to maintain a strong cash balance, and to finalize the sale of
the Products business unit. Despite the current difficult economic business
environment in which companies are minimizing capital expenditures, these
significant milestones, as well as those achieved in the development, testing
and installation of Forgent's video network platform, continue to strengthen the
Company's prospects in the visual communications and network management industry
and to advance the Company's financial results towards growth and profitability.
However, uncertainties and challenges remain, and there can be no assurance that
the Company can successfully grow its revenues or achieve profitability.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On January 31, 2002, Forgent had working capital of $6.1 million,
including $20.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.
Cash provided by operating activities was $6.8 million for the six months ended
January 31, 2002 due primarily to the sale of $4.1 million in accounts
receivable and the change in accounts receivable. Cash used in operating
activities was $1.6 million for the six months ended January 31, 2001 and
largely resulted from operating losses and changes in accounts receivable and
accounts payable. The liquidation of the Internet ventures, which historically
required significant funding for operations, as well as the completion of the
restructuring efforts, improved the Company's cash flows from operations during
the six months ended January 31, 2002, as compared to the six months ended
January 31, 2001. As of January 31, 2002, the Company had sold $4.2 million of
its outstanding accounts receivable, without any recourse, in efforts to
recapture cash balances lost due to the unanticipated significant drop in sales
from discontinued operations. Silicon Valley Bank purchased the assets for a fee
of 1.7% of the value of the accounts receivable sold and a one time set-up fee
of $13 thousand. The Company received proceeds from Silicon Valley Bank of $4.1
million. As a result of the sale of accounts receivable, the Company excluded
the related receivables from the Consolidated Balance Sheet and recorded a
related expense of $86 thousand for the three months ended January 31, 2002.
15
Cash used in investing activities was $0.6 million for the six months
ended January 31, 2002 due primarily to the capitalization of software
development costs, which were offset by net sales of short-term investments.
Cash provided by investing activities was $13.8 million for the six months ended
January 31, 2001 and largely resulted from the net sales of short-term
investments. For fiscal 2002 management established a capital budget of $2.0
million primarily for investing in development tools, sales and marketing
demonstration equipment and for on-going operational requirements. Capital
expenditures incurred during the six months ended January 31, 2002 primarily
relate to the purchase of the Company's new accounting system.
Cash used in financing activities was $0.5 million for the six months
ended January 31, 2002 due primarily to the purchase of treasury stock, which
was offset by proceeds received from the issuance of stock. Cash used in
financing activities was $0.3 million for the six months ended January 31, 2001
and largely resulted from payments on notes payable. In fiscal 2001 Forgent
announced a stock repurchase program to purchase up to two million of the
Company's common stock. During the six months ended January 31, 2002, the
Company repurchased 445,100 shares for $1.4 million. Management is committed to
repurchasing additional shares in fiscal 2002, depending on the Company's cash
position, market conditions, and other factors. During the six months ended
January 31, 2002, Forgent entered into a three-year notes payable of $0.5
million for the purchase of the Company's new accounting system. At January 31,
2002, we did not have a line of credit in place. Based on the Company's strong
cash position, management does not expect to obtain any line of credit during
the current fiscal year.
Forgent's principal sources of liquidity at January 31, 2002 consisted
of $20.4 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, and the
ability to generate cash from operations. In essence, the Company's cash and
short-term investment balance has remained relatively flat over the past several
quarters. This level of liquidity reflects the Company's success in limiting its
cash consummation and preserving its cash balances in order to invest further in
improving Forgent's VNP software and services. There is no assurance, however,
that the Company will be able to continue to limit its cash consumption and
preserve its cash balances, and it is possible that the Company's business
demands may lead to cash utilization at levels greater than recently experienced
due to investments in research and developing, declining revenues, increased
expenses levels and other factors.
LEGAL MATTERS
Forgent is the defendant or plaintiff in various actions that arose in
the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate
disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse affect on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.
GENERAL
The markets for Forgent's software and services are characterized by a
highly competitive and rapidly changing environment in which operating results
are subject to the effects of frequent product introductions, manufacturing
technology innovations and rapid fluctuations in demand. While management
attempts to identify and respond to these changes as soon as possible,
prediction of and reaction to such events will be an ongoing challenge and may
result in revenue shortfalls during certain periods of time.
Forgent's future results of operations and financial condition could be
impacted by the following factors, among others: trends in the videoconferencing
market; introduction of new products or services by competitors; increased
competition due to the entrance of other companies into the videoconferencing
market, especially more established companies with greater resources than
Forgent's; market acceptance of new software and services the Company
introduces; price competition; interruption of the supply of low-cost products
from third-party manufacturers; changes in general economic conditions; and
adverse legal disputes.
16
Due to the factors noted above and elsewhere in the Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,
Forgent's past earnings and stock price have been, and future earnings and stock
price potentially may be, subject to significant volatility, particularly on a
quarterly basis. Past financial performance should not be considered a reliable
indicator of future performance and investors are cautioned in using historical
trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. Any shortfall in
revenue or earnings from the levels anticipated by securities analysts could
have an immediate and significant effect on the trading price of the Company's
common stock in any given period. Also, Forgent participates in a highly dynamic
industry, which often contributes to the volatility of its common stock price.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE
RESULTS
Certain portions of this report contain forward-looking statements that
reflect the Company's current expectations regarding future results of
operations, economic performance, financial condition and achievements. Whenever
possible, Forgent attempted to identify these forward-looking statements with
the words "believes," "estimates," "plans," "expects," "anticipates" and other
similar expressions. These statements reflect management's current plans and
expectations that rely on a number of assumptions and estimates that are subject
to risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to rapid changes in
technology, unexpected changes in customer order patterns or order mix, the
intensity of competition, economic conditions, the cost and availability of
certain key components, pricing pressures, interest rates fluctuations, changes
in the capital markets, litigation involving intellectual property, changes in
tax and other laws and governmental rules applicable to Forgent's business and
other risks indicated in Forgent's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. These risks and uncertainties are beyond the Company's control, and
in many cases, management cannot predict all of the risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the
forward-looking statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company's primary market risk exposure relates to interest rate
risk and foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Since Forgent's investment
portfolio primarily consists of money market funds and other marketable
securities including commercial paper and government securities, management
believes the interest rate risk is minimal due to the short-term nature of these
investments. Additionally, Forgent previously invested in common stock shares of
Accord Networks ("Accord"), an Israeli-based manufacturer of networking
equipment, which converted to Polycom, Inc. ("Polycom") common stock shares as a
result of Polycom's acquisition of Accord. During the first fiscal quarter of
2002, the remaining Polycom shares were sold under a cash flow hedge, realizing
$1.7 million in gain and $1.8 million in net cash flows. As of January 31, 2002,
the Company no longer had market risks related to the Polycom stock.
Management's objective in managing the exposure to foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations is to reduce the impact of adverse fluctuations in
earnings and cash flows associated with foreign currency exchange rate changes.
Management reviews the credit worthiness of Forgent's customers to mitigate the
foreign currency exchange risk and credit risk and historically utilized foreign
currency forward contracts to hedge its foreign currency exposure on firm
commitments, particularly related to the Euro and Australian dollar. Since most
of Forgent's foreign sales are predominantly in U.S. dollars, management
believes the foreign currency exposure to be relatively low and discontinued
using foreign currency contracts as of July 31, 2001.
For additional Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk reference is made to Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures about Market Risk, in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended July 31, 2001.
