FORGENT NETWORKS, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in thousands, except per share and employee data unless otherwise noted) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 October 31, 2002 and July 31, 2002 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full fiscal year. NOTE 2 - INVENTORIES Inventories consist of the following:
FORGENT NETWORKS, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in thousands, except per share and employee data unless otherwise noted) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As a result of the sale of its integration business, Forgent received $150 in cash and a $282 note receivable from SPL. SPL absorbed 15 members of Forgent's Professional Services Integration team and re-located to Forgent's facility in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, where the combined team of engineers and technicians manage and execute the delivery of audio-video system integration and support. The assets related to the integration business were sold for approximately their net book value and thus an immaterial amount of gain was recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2002. The sale allowed Forgent to focus its strengths and resources on growing its more profitable network software and professional services business while still providing multimedia systems to its customers through SPL. On October 2, 2001, Forgent announced that it had signed a definitive sales agreement to sell the operations and certain assets of its Products business unit, including the VTEL name, in order to devote its energies and resources to the development of Forgent's network software and professional services 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 $500, a 90-day subordinated promissory note, bearing interest at an annual rate of five percent, for $967, a 5-year subordinated promissory note, bearing interest at an annual rate of five percent, for $5,000 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. VTEL did not remit payment on its first subordinated promissory note due in April 2002, as stipulated in the sales agreement. As a result of this default and due to the uncertainty in collecting the two outstanding notes from VTEL, the Company recorded a $5,967 charge for the reserve of both notes from VTEL during the third fiscal quarter of 2002. Management is currently renegotiating the payment terms of the note in default. During the quarter ended October 31, 2002, management agreed with VTEL's management to offset Forgent's accounts payable to VTEL with its accounts receivable from VTEL. The net $499 Forgent liability was offset with the note in default, thus relieving $499 of the reserve on the notes receivable. No cash was exchanged with this transaction. As a result of the sales of the integration and products businesses, the Company has presented these businesses as discontinued operations on the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and recorded $499 in income for its discontinued operations for the three months ended October 31, 2002 and $2,567 in losses for its discontinued operations for the three months ended October 31, 2001. NOTE 5 - ACQUISITIONS As approved by each company's board of directors, Forgent acquired certain assets and liabilities of Global Scheduling Solutions, Inc., a global provider of enterprise conference room scheduling and resource management solutions, on June, 4, 2002. Forgent paid Global Scheduling Solutions, Inc. a combination of $4,000 in cash, $700 tied to certain future contingent "earn-out" payments and the assumption of certain liabilities. The contingent liability is recorded as part of the current notes payable on Forgent's consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2002 and July 31, 2002 because management 6
FORGENT NETWORKS, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in thousands, except per share and employee data unless otherwise noted) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- believes it is probable that this amount will be paid. The contingent liability will be finalized during the second fiscal quarter. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of assets. Accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Total cost in excess of tangible and intangible assets acquired of approximately $5,229 was recorded as goodwill. Forgent continues to market Global Scheduling Solutions, Inc.'s acquired flagship product, Global Scheduling System, an industry leading web-based application that combines the management of large-scale meeting environments and all necessary resources and services while reducing the cost and time associated with such management. As a result of the acquisition, Forgent became a leading vendor that provides complete one-stop video network scheduling, launching, monitoring and management solution. NOTE 6 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (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 income (loss), foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on short-term investments held as available-for-sale securities. Comprehensive income for the three months ended October 31, 2002 was $1,155 and comprehensive loss for the three months ended October 31, 2001 was $4,318. NOTE 7 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES On August 31, 2000 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("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. 7
FORGENT NETWORKS, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in thousands, except per share and employee data unless otherwise noted) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company utilized derivatives designated as cash flow hedges to ensure a minimum level of cash flows 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 remaining 77 thousand shares of Polycom were sold under a cash flow hedge and $1.7 million was reclassed from other comprehensive income to earnings. NOTE 8 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," as well as the accounting and reporting provisions relating to the disposal of a segment of a business as required by Accounting Principles Board No. 30. Effective August 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144, which did not have a significant impact on its financial statements. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS 146 addresses accounting for restructuring costs and supersedes previous accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability associated with exit or disposal activities be recognized when the liability is incurred. As a contrast under EITF 94-3, a liability for an exit cost is recognized when a Company commits to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that a liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. Accordingly, SFAS No. 146 may affect the timing and amount of recognizing restructuring costs. The Company will adopt the provisions of this statement for any restructuring activities initiated after December 31, 2002. NOTE 9 - SEGMENT INFORMATION As a result of the Company's current business strategy, the Company operates in three distinct segments: network software and professional services, technology licensing, and services and other. Forgent's network software and professional services business provides customers with video network management and scheduling software applications as well as network consulting, software installation, training, hardware devices, and other comprehensive related services. Forgent's technology licensing business is currently focused on generating license revenues relating to the Company's data compression technology embodied in U.S. Patent No. 4,698,672 and its foreign counterparts. The Company's services and other segment helps companies maximize their video communications investments through maintenance, hardware installation, technical support and resident engineer services. 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 prior year's segment information has been restated to present the Company's reportable segments as they are currently defined. 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 income (loss) for the three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001: 8
FORGENT NETWORKS, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in thousands, except per share and employee data unless otherwise noted) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following review of Forgent's financial position as of October 31, 2002 and July 31, 2002 and for the three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001 should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K and 2002 Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 29, 2002 and November 27, 2002, respectively. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth for the periods indicated the percentage of total revenues represented by certain items in Forgent's Consolidated Statements of Operations:
network management software designed to manage video, voice and web content on multi-protocol, multi-vendor networks, and 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, as well as cost of ownership. GSS offers a Microsoft Outlook interface as well as a web-based scheduling application designed for organizations needing to manage large-scale meeting environments effectively and efficiently. Forgent's network consulting services provide technical market research, evaluation and analysis to customers in addition to the means to test multiple network systems for manageability, interoperability, and optimum network connectivity prior to installation. During the three months ended October 31, 2002, Forgent sold fourteen software licenses and network software and professional services revenues grew by 31% over the fourth fiscal quarter of 2002. The growth is primarily attributable to an increase in the average selling price. Based on Forgent's new sales organization, positive market reaction to the software products and the successful addition of GSS, management anticipates continued similar growth in its network software and professional services revenues for the remaining quarters in fiscal 2003. Intellectual property licensing revenues were $6.2 million and represented 50% of total revenues for the three months ended October 31, 2002. No such revenues were generated during the three months ended October 31, 2001. The first fiscal quarter of 2003 marks the third consecutive quarter that Forgent has generated licensing revenues. These licensing revenues relate to the Company's data compression technology embodied in U.S. Patent No. 4,698,672 and its foreign counterparts, thus continuing the success of the Company's maturing Patent Licensing Program. Since October 31, 2002, Forgent has entered into additional licenses and the Company is continuing to actively seek to license other users of its technology. Forgent's licensing program involves risks inherent in technology licensing, including risks of protracted delays, possible legal challenges that would lead to disruption or curtailment of the licensing program, increasing expenditures associated with pursuit of the program, and other risks that could adversely affect the Company's licensing program. Additionally, the U.S. patent, which has generated the licensing revenues, expires in October 2006 and its foreign counterparts expire in September 2007. Thus, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to effectively license its technology to others. Service and other revenues were $5.1 million and $6.6 million for the three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Service and other revenues as a percentage of total revenues were 40% and 99% for the three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Service and other revenues include the maintenance and support of thousands of endpoints and bridges under maintenance agreements, as well as sales of a variety of third-party manufactured equipment through its Multi-Vendor Partners Program ("MVP"). The decline in service revenues is due primarily to the decrease in the renewal rate of service contracts for VTEL products and the decline in the average selling price of the hardware devices being supported, which correspondingly impacts the pricing on the service maintenance contracts. As a vendor-neutral service provider, offering installation, technical support, and maintenance to a wider array of videoconferencing devices, including endpoints, multipoint control units, gateways, gatekeepers, and traditional network switches and routers, Forgent is offsetting the decrease in renewal of VTEL contracts with service contracts for other third party products. Through focused attention to details, Forgent increased the number of end points, including VTEL end points, under service contracts by increasing the renewal rate of its existing maintenance contracts and adding new customers to yield a 13% increase in service revenues over the fourth fiscal quarter of 2002. Despite the improvement over the previous quarter, management anticipates a possible decline in service revenues during the second fiscal quarter, although rate of the decline is uncertain. Forgent will continue to sell equipment through its MVP program. 11
GROSS MARGIN. Gross margins increased $2.9 million, or 122%, to $5.2 million for the quarter ended October 31, 2002 from $2.3 million for the quarter ended October 31, 2001. Gross margins as a percentage of total revenues were 41% and 35% for the three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company's total gross margins grew significantly during the quarter ended October 31, 2002 as compared to the quarter ended October 31, 2001 and are primarily generated from intellectual property licensing revenues. The costs associated with Forgent's technology licensing business relates to the legal fees incurred on successfully achieving signed agreements. The contingent legal fees are based on a standard percentage of the signed agreement and are paid to a national law firm, which has personally invested and continues to invest in developing Forgent's licensing program. Thus, the Company's gross margin from its technology licensing business is fixed at 50%. Since the costs associated with the network software and professional services business result primarily from the amortization of the Company's capitalized software development costs on a straight-line basis and from minimal royalty payments to outside vendors, the cost of sales from this line of business is relatively fixed. During the quarter ended October 31, 2002, Forgent sold fourteen software licenses, increasing gross margins from the network software and professional services business by 75% over the quarter ended July 31, 2002. Gross margins as a percentage of revenues from the network software and professional services business were 40% and 30% for the quarters ending October 31, 2002 and July 31, 2002, respectively. As more licenses are sold, management expects to achieve higher gross margins from this segment, in absolute terms and in terms of percentage of revenue. Similarly, the costs associated with the service and other business are labor intensive and relatively fixed, which causes gross margins to be directly affected by the level of revenue generated primarily from new and renewed service contracts. The $1.5 million decrease in service and other revenues for the quarter ended October 31, 2002 as compared to the quarter ended October 31, 2001 directly contributed to the 35% decrease in the service and other gross margins. During the three months ended October 31, 2002, Forgent reduced headcount in its legacy services business and curtailed other related expenses to improve service and other margins by 26%, as compared to the three months ended July 31, 2002. This decrease in expenses did not impact the services provided to Forgent's customers. Gross margins as a percentage of revenues for the service and other business were 31% and 28% for the quarters ending October 31, 2002 and July 31, 2002, respectively. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.1 million, or 43%, to $3.7 million for the quarter ended October 31, 2002 from $2.6 million for the quarter ended October 31, 2001. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 29% and 39% for the three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. When Forgent acquired certain assets and liabilities of Global Scheduling Systems Inc. during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2002, Forgent's sales force more than doubled. Therefore, the increase in total selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") is due largely to increased spending related to the ramp-up efforts in the sales organization. Forgent's new sales structure was implemented during the first fiscal quarter and has made progress in delivering in-quarter revenue as well as building a substantial pipeline for future revenue. Furthermore, additional international travel and consulting expenses related to Forgent's Patent Licensing Program were incurred during the three months ended October 31, 2002. However, management is committed to maintaining SG&A expenses at reasonable levels in terms of percentage of revenue and to further decrease any unnecessary SG&A expenses that do not directly support the generation of revenues for Forgent. 12
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses increased by $0.4 million, or 51%, to $1.2 million for the quarter ended October 31, 2002 from $0.8 million for the quarter ended October 31, 2001. Research and development ("R&D") expenses as a percentage of revenues were 9% and 12% for the three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase in the R&D expenses during the three months ended October 31, 2002 as compared to the three months ended October 3, 2001 relates to the continued efforts on enhancing Forgent's award-winning VNP and GSS. VNP Version 2.5, the Company's latest version of its network management software, allows devices to be grouped by location, department, or company and then managed by different administrators, who can monitor their networks by discreet entities and according to the importance of particular calls. VNP Version 2.5 also allows administrators to remotely control camera functions and launch multipoint calls as well as offers several other advanced features to give administrators unprecedented levels of control over enterprise-wide videoconference operations while increasing overall efficiencies and productivity. GSS Version 3.9, Forgent's latest version of its scheduling and resource management software, is fully integrated with Microsoft(R) Outlook(R) and allows users to schedule rooms, equipment, catering service and other resources in addition to scheduling participants. Both enhanced versions of the Company's software were on time, on budget, and made available to the general public in the United States, Europe, and Australia starting in November 2002. Forgent will continue its research and development based on its strategy of thrusting its scheduling interface as the prevalent interface used by all corporate meetings and its focus on providing automated recoveries to further improve collaboration management. The R&D expenses are net of $0.8 million and $1.1 million capitalized during the three months ended October 31, 2002 and October 31, 2001, respectively. Software development costs are capitalized after a product is determined to be technologically feasible and is in the process of being developed for market. At the time the product is released for sale, the capitalized software is amortized over the estimated economic life of the related projects, generally three years. All of Forgent's capitalized software development costs for the first fiscal quarter relate to its VNP software. During the three months ended October 31, 2002, Forgent filed seven new collaboration management patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, which brings the total filings count to forty. Forgent currently holds approximately forty issued patents related to videoconferencing, data compression, video mail and other technology developed by the Company. Forgent's ability to successfully develop software solutions to enable enterprise video networks is a significant factor in the Company's success. As Forgent develops its research and development strategy, management anticipates additional costs associated with the recruiting and retention of engineering professionals. Management will attempt to maintain research and development expenses at reasonable levels in terms of percentage of revenue. However, management believes Forgent's ultimate future success is based primarily on the development and success of its software solution offerings. RESTRUCTURING CHARGE. During the three months ended October 31, 2001, the Company restructured its organization, which involved the termination of approximately 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 for the restructuring, which represented 12% of total revenues for the three months ended October 31, 2001. OTHER INCOME. Other income decreased by $1.7 million to $0.1 million for the quarter ended October 31, 2002 from income of $1.8 million for the quarter ended October 31, 2001. Other income as 13
a percentage of revenues was 1% and 28% for the three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease is due primarily to the 76,625 shares of Polycom common stock that were sold under a cash flow hedge, resulting in a $1.7 million realized gain for the first fiscal quarter of 2002. The Company no longer has any investment in Polycom as of October 31, 2001. INCOME (LOSS) FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS. During fiscal year 2002, the Company sold the operations and substantially all of the assets of its VTEL products business, including the VTEL name, to VTEL Products Corporation ("VTEL") and the operations and assets of its integration business to SPL Integrated Solutions. Accordingly, the products and integration businesses have been accounted for and presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements. Income from discontinued operations was $0.5 million for the three months ended October 3, 2002 and was solely due to the partial reversal of the reserve on the notes receivable from VTEL (see Note 4). Loss from discontinued operations was $2.6 million for the three months ended October 31, 2001. Income (loss) from discontinued operations was 4% and (38%) of revenues for the quarters ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. NET INCOME (LOSS). Forgent generated a net income of $0.9 million, or $0.04 per share, during the quarter ended October 31, 2002 compared to a net loss of $2.6 million, or $0.10 per share, during the quarter ended October 31, 2001. Net income (loss) as a percentage of revenues was 7% and (39%) for the three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The $3.5 million increase in the Company's net income is primarily attributable to the decrease in the loss from discontinued operations and the increase in gross margins. During the three months ended October 31, 2002 Forgent has grown revenues from its core network software and professional services business, demonstrated continued revenues and earnings from its intellectual property business, improved its legacy services operations and met other expectations to achieve its third consecutive quarter of profitability. These significant indicators, as well as those achieved in the research and development of the Company's software products, continue to strengthen the Company's prospects. However, uncertainties and challenges remain, and there can be no assurance that the Company can successfully grow its revenues or maintain profitability. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES On October 31, 2002, Forgent had working capital of $9.5 million, including $14.6 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Cash used in operating activities was $3.7 million for the three months ended October 31, 2002 due primarily to the increase in accounts receivable and decrease in accounts payable. Cash provided by operating activities was $3.4 million for the three months ended October 31, 2001 and largely resulted from the decrease in accounts receivable. As of October 31, 2002, Forgent had $2.5 million in accounts receivable related to its Patent Licensing Program. The Company continued to actively pursue collection on its other outstanding receivables. Cash used in investing activities was $1.0 million for the three months ended October 31, 2002 due largely to the capitalization of software development costs. Cash provided by investing activities was $1.1 million for the three months ended October 31, 2001 due primarily to net sales of short-term investments, which were offset by the capitalization of software development costs. For fiscal 2003, Forgent's capital budget is approximately $0.8 million and will be used principally to invest in demonstration equipment, spare parts to support the Company's warranties and services, and various other operational equipment as needed. Forgent took advantage of certain discounts; thus, capital 14
expenditures incurred during the three months ended October 31, 2002 were primarily for spare parts to support the Company's service contracts. During the three months ended October 31, 2001, Forgent sold its remaining investment in Polycom, resulting in a net cash inflow of $1.8 million, which significantly contributed to the cash provided by investing activities. Cash used in financing activities was $0.7 for the three months ended October 31, 2002 due primarily to the purchase of treasury stock. Cash used in financing activities was $0.2 for the three months ended October 31, 2001. In fiscal 2001 Forgent announced a stock repurchase program to purchase up to two million of the Company's common stock. During the first fiscal quarter of 2003, Forgent's board of directors approved the repurchase of an additional million shares of the Company's stock. During the three months ended October 31, 2002, the Company repurchased 354,686 shares for $0.7 million, bringing the total number of shares repurchased to date to 1.2 million shares. Management will continue to evaluate repurchasing additional shares in fiscal 2003, depending on the Company's cash position, market conditions, and other factors. During the three months ended October 31, 2001 Forgent entered into a three-year notes payable of $0.4 million for the purchase of the Company's new accounting system. At October 31, 2002, Forgent 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 October 31, 2002 consisted of $14.6 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Additionally, the Company's working capital has remained relatively stable over the last several quarters. As more license agreements are signed and related payments are received under the continued success of the Company's Patent Licensing Program, management expects the Company's cash position to strengthen. However, risks and uncertainties remain as to the timing of the receipts of license fees due, in part, to the inherent nature of a patent licensing program. Management plans to strategically utilize this positive cashflow to invest further in developing Forgent's VNP, GSS, and VideoWorks software and to explore other opportunities for growing the business. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to limit its cash consumption and continue to 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 development, increased expense 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. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and include the accounts of Forgent's wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements for continued reasonableness. Appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used are made prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation. 15
Management believes the following represent Forgent's critical accounting policies: REVENUE RECOGNITION In general, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, service delivery has occurred, fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. In accordance with Statement of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition," software and product revenues are recognized when the software or product is shipped and invoiced. When a sale contains both delivered and deferred elements, the Company utilizes vendor-specific objective evidence to allocate the sale price first to deferred elements and then the residual value is allocated to the delivered elements. Service revenues are recorded at the time the services are rendered. Revenues for maintenance agreements are recorded ratably over the contract period. Customer prepayments are deferred until services have been rendered and there are no significant further obligations to the customer. Gross intellectual property licensing revenue is recognized at the time a license agreement has been executed and related costs are recorded as cost of goods sold. SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS Costs incurred in connection with the development of software products are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed." Costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are charged to research and development expense. Amortization of capitalized software begins upon initial product shipment. Software development costs are amortized over the estimated life of the related product (generally thirty-six months), using the straight-line method. ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to estimate losses from uncollectable customer receivables. This estimate is based in the aggregate, on historical collection experience, age of receivables and general economic conditions. It also considers individual customers payment experience, credit-worthiness and age of receivable balances. IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS The Company adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets on August 1, 2001 and thus is required to review the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets annually. Forgent also reviews goodwill and other intangibles for possible impairment whenever specific events warrant. Events that may create an impairment review include, but are not limited to: significant and sustained decline in the Company's stock price or market capitalization; significant underperformance of operating units; significant changes in market conditions and trends. If a review event has occurred, the value of the goodwill or intangible is compared to the estimate of future cash flows, and if required, an impairment is recorded. 16
RISK FACTORS There are many factors that affect the Company's business, prospects and the results of its operations, some of which are beyond the control of the Company. The following is a discussion of some of these and other important risk factors that may cause the actual results of the Company's operations in future periods to differ materially from those currently expected or desired. GENERAL ECONOMIC AND INDUSTRY CONDITIONS Any adverse change in general economic, business or industry conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects and financial performance if those conditions caused customers or potential customers to reduce or delay their investments in network software and professional services or legacy services. Due to the current economic circumstances affecting U.S. businesses, there has been a slow down in capital spending, which adversely affects the willingness of companies to purchase enterprise software products, professional services and legacy services. If this slow down is prolonged, current economic conditions could have a continued adverse effect on the demand for the Company's products and services and could result in declining revenue and earnings growth rates for the Company. TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES AND PRODUCT TRANSITIONS The technology industry is characterized by continuing improvements in technology, which results in the frequent introduction of new products, short product life cycles and continual improvement in product price/performance characteristics. These improvements could render the Company's products noncompetitive, if the Company fails to anticipate and respond effectively to these improvements and new product introductions. While the Company believes that its experience in the videoconferencing industry affords it a competitive advantage over some of its competitors, rapid changes in technology present some of the greatest challenges and risks for any software and technology-based company. SALES CYCLE Forgent has a long sales cycle because it generally takes time to educate potential customers regarding the use and benefits of network software applications. The long sales cycle makes it difficult to predict the quarter in which sales may fall. Because the Company's expense levels are relatively fixed, the shift of sales from one quarter to a later quarter will adversely affect results in operations in an affected quarter, as the Company would not be able to adjust its expense levels to match fluctuations in revenues. If the Company failed to meet expectations by shareholders, analysts or others as to products sales anticipated in any particular quarter, the market price of the Company's stock may significantly decrease. PRODUCT IMPLEMENTATION The Company recognizes a portion of its revenue from product sales upon implementation of its software, and the timing of product implementation could cause significant variability in product license revenues and operating results for any particular period. NEW BUSINESS MODEL In accordance with its restructuring efforts previously described, the Company is currently transitioning its business and realigning its strategic focus towards a new core market, network software and professional services. Internal changes resulting from the business restructuring announced during 2001 and 2002 are substantially complete, but many factors may negatively impact the Company's ability to implement its strategic focus, including the ability or possible inability to manage the implementation and development of its new network product and service business, sustain the productivity of Forgent's workforce and retain key employees, manage operating expenses and quickly respond to and recover from unforeseen events associated with the restructuring. The Company may be required by market conditions and other factors to undertake additional restructuring efforts in the future. Forgent's business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected if it is unable to 17
manage the implementation and development of its new business strategy, sustain the productivity of its workforce and retain key employees, manage its operating expenses or quickly respond to and recover from unforeseen events associated with any future restructuring efforts. LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY Despite being founded in 1985, Forgent has a limited operating history because of the Company's recent transition to a network software and professional services company. As a result of its limited operating history, Forgent cannot forecast revenue and operating expenses based on historical results. The Company's ability to accurately forecast quarterly revenue is limited because Forgent's software products have a long sales cycle that makes it difficult to predict the quarter in which sales will occur. The Company's business, operating results and financial condition will be materially adversely affected if revenues do not meet projections and if results in a given quarter do not meet expectations. COMPETITION AND NEW ENTRANTS The Company may encounter new entrants or competition from competitors in some or all aspects of its business. The Company competes on the basis of price, technology availability, performance, quality, reliability, service and support. The Company believes that its experience and business model creates a competitive advantage over its competitors. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain this advantage. Many of the Company's current and possibly future competitors have greater resources than the Company and therefore, may be able to compete more effectively on price and other terms. SOFTWARE MARKETING AND SALES Forgent's network software product was introduced in the fall of 2001, and as such, it has limited market awareness and, to date, limited sales. The Company's future success will be dependent in significant part on its ability to generate demand for its network software products and professional services. To this end, Forgent's direct and indirect sales operations must increase market awareness of its products to generate increased revenue. The Company's products and services require a sophisticated sales effort targeted at the senior management of its prospective customers. All new hires will require training and will take time to achieve full productivity. Forgent cannot be certain that its new hires will become as productive as necessary or that it will be able to hire enough qualified individuals or retain existing employees in the future. The Company cannot be certain that it will be successful in its efforts to market and sell its products, and if it is not successful in building greater market awareness and generating increased sales, future results of operations will be adversely affected. NETWORK SOFTWARE AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES DEVELOPMENT Forgent expects that its future financial performance will depend significantly on revenue from existing and future enterprise software products and the related tools that the Company plans to develop, which is subject to significant risks. There are significant risks inherent in a new product introduction, such as its existing VNP and GSS software products. Market acceptance of these and future products will depend on continued market development for collaboration management. Forgent cannot be certain that its existing or future products offerings will meet customer performance needs or expectations when shipped or that it will be free of significant software defects or bugs. If the Company's products do not meet customer needs or expectations, for whatever reason, the Company's sales would be adversely affected and further, upgrading or enhancing the product could be costly and time consuming. LICENSE PROGRAM The Company's intellectual property licensing revenues are difficult to predict. The Company's licensing program involves risks inherent in technology licensing, including risks of protracted delays, possible legal challenges that would lead to disruption or curtailment of the program, increasing 18
expenditures associated with the pursuit of the program, and other risks that could adversely affect the Company's licensing program. Thus, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to license its technology to others. If the Company fails to meet the expectations of public market analysts or investors, the market price of Forgent's common stock may decrease significantly. Quarterly operating results may fail to meet these expectations for a number of reasons, including the inability of licensees to pay our license and other fees, a decline in the demand for the Company's patented technology, higher than expected operating expenses, and license delays due to legal and other factors. PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS The Company's success and ability to compete are substantially dependent on its proprietary technology and trademarks. The Company seeks to protect these assets through a combination of patent, copyright, trade secret, and trademark laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions. These legal protections afford only limited protection and enforcement of these rights may be time consuming and expensive. Furthermore, despite best efforts, the Company may be unable to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating its intellectual property. Also, competitors may independently develop similar, but not infringing, technology, duplicate products, or design around the Company's patents or other intellectual property. The Company's patent applications or trademark registrations may not be approved. Moreover, even if approved, the resulting patents or trademarks may not provide Forgent with any competitive advantage or may be challenged by third parties. If challenged, patents might not be upheld or claims could be narrowed. Any litigation surrounding the Company's rights could force Forgent to divert important financial and other resources away from business operations ACQUISITION INTEGRATION The Company has made, and may continue to evaluate and make, strategic acquisitions in public and privately held technology companies. Because some of these companies may be early-stage ventures with either unproven business models, products that are not yet fully developed or products that have not yet achieved market acceptance, these transactions are inherently risky. Many factors outside of the Company's control determine whether or not the Company's investments will be successful. Such factors include the ability of a company to obtain additional private equity financing, to access the public capital markets, to affect a sale or merger, or to achieve commercial success with its products or services. Accordingly, there can be no assurances that any of the Company's investments will be successful or that the Company will be able to recover the amount invested. DIVESTITURE TRANSACTIONS As a result Forgent's transition to a network software and professional services company, it has substantially completed a program to divest certain non-core assets, including a videoconferencing endpoint manufacturing business as well as other related businesses. There can be no assurance that, having divested such non-core operations, Forgent will be able to achieve greater or any profitability, strengthen its core operations or compete more effectively in existing markets. In addition, the Company continues to evaluate the profitability realized or likely to be realized by our existing businesses and operations, and Forgent reviews from a strategic standpoint, which, if any, of its businesses or operations should be divested. Entering into, evaluating or consummating divestiture transactions may entail risks and uncertainties in addition to those which may result from the divestiture-related change in the Company's business operations, including but not limited to extraordinary transaction costs, unknown indemnification liabilities and unforeseen administrative complications, any of which could result in reduced revenues, increased charges, or post-transaction administrative costs or could otherwise have a material adverse effect on Forgent's business, financial condition or results of operations. 19
Due to the risk 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. 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, the intensity of competition, economic conditions, 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. Forgent's interest income is sensitive to changes in U.S. interest rates. However, due to the short-term nature of the Company's investments, Forgent does not consider these risks to be significant. The Company previously invested in Accord Networks ("Accord") an Israeli-based manufacturer of networking equipment. In June of 2000, Accord filed an initial public offering on the NASDAQ stock exchange in which the Company was apportioned 1.3 million shares. In February 2001, Accord was acquired by Polycom Inc. ("Polycom") and Forgent's investment in Accord converted to 399,000 shares of Polycom. The Company sold 246,000 shares and then entered into a cash flow hedge to ensure a minimum level of cash flow from the 153,000 remaining shares. These hedges settled in July and October 2001. During the three months ended October 31, 2001, 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 October 31, 2001, the Company no longer had market risks related to the Polycom stock. Forgent's objective in managing its 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. Accordingly, the Company historically utilized forward contracts to hedge its foreign currency exposure on firm commitments denominated in the Euro and Australian dollar. As of October 31, 2002 and October 31, 2001, the Company held no foreign currency contracts. Due to the Company's reduction in international offices and related reduction in foreign exchange risks, management does not anticipate any additional foreign currency hedges. 20
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, 2002. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management of the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) and Rule 15d-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the date of the evaluation, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to the material information relating to the Company required to be included in its periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. During the period covered by this report, there were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or, to management's knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 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 our financial condition or results of operations. ITEM 2.
