NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
September 30, 2000
NOTE 1 -- General and Basis of Financial Statements
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Vignette Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Company" or "Vignette"). All material intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States and are presented in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to interim
financial information. Accordingly, certain footnote disclosures have been
condensed or omitted. In the Company's opinion, the interim unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only
normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods
presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. The results of operations for
the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim
period or for the full fiscal year.
The preparation of 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 periods. These estimates include levels of reserves for accounts
receivable and value of the Company's capital stock. Actual results could
differ from these estimates.
NOTE 2 -- Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is based on the weighted effect of all common shares
issued and outstanding and is calculated by dividing net loss available to
common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss available
to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares used in
the basic net loss per share calculation plus the number of common shares that
would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares
outstanding. Diluted net loss per share has not been presented as the effect of
the assumed exercise of stock options, warrants and contingently issued shares
is antidilutive due to the Company's net loss for the indicated period.
The Company's historical capital structure is not indicative of its prospective
structure due to the automatic conversion of all shares of convertible preferred
stock and redeemable convertible preferred stock into common stock concurrent
with the closing of the Company's initial public offering which occurred in
February 1999. Accordingly, a pro forma calculation assuming the conversion of
all outstanding shares as of September 30, 1999 of convertible preferred stock
and redeemable convertible preferred stock into common stock upon the Company's
initial public offering using the if-converted method from their respective
dates of issuance is presented below.

NOTE 4-- Business Combinations
During the first nine months of fiscal year 2000, Vignette acquired all of the
outstanding common stock and assumed all outstanding stock options of three
individual companies: Engine 5, Ltd., DataSage, Inc. and OnDisplay, Inc. The
acquisitions were accounted for as business purchase combinations.
Engine 5. Effective January 18, 2000, the Company acquired Engine 5, Ltd.
("Engine 5"), a developer of enterprise-wide Java server technology, in exchange
for 248,012 shares of Vignette common stock and approximately $4.9 million in
cash. Of the common stock initially exchanged, approximately 143,397 shares
related to the assumption of Engine 5's existing pre-acquisition stock option
grants. The total cost of the acquisition, including transaction costs of
$400,000, was approximately $20.0 million. The acquired net assets were
recorded at their estimated fair values at the effective date of acquisition.
The following table presents the allocation of the purchase price (in
thousands):
Acquired technology.................................... $ 1,000
Workforce.............................................. 300
Excess of cost over fair value of net assets
acquired............................................. 19,831
Net fair value of tangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed.................................. (1,153)
-------
Purchase price......................................... $19,978
=======
Additionally, contingent consideration of approximately 88,461 shares of
Vignette common stock and approximately $4.3 million in cash will be based upon
defined future employment requirements earned through the first quarter of
fiscal year 2002. The contingent consideration related to the Engine 5
acquisition is not included in the total purchase price above, but will be
expensed when the future employment requirements have been satisfied.
The amounts allocated to acquired technology and workforce are being amortized
over the assets' estimated useful life which is equivalent to a two-year period.
Similarly, the excess of cost over fair value of net liabilities acquired is
being amortized over the asset's estimated useful life which is equivalent to a
two-year period.
DataSage. Effective February 15, 2000, the Company acquired all of the
outstanding stock and assumed all outstanding stock options of DataSage, Inc.
("DataSage"), a leading provider of e-Marketing and personalization applications
that help organizations create a comprehensive single enterprise-wide view of
their customers, in exchange for 9,479,229 shares of Vignette common stock. The
total cost of the acquisition, including transaction costs of $1.1 million, was
approximately $586.6 million. The acquired net assets were recorded at their
estimated fair values at the effective date of acquisition. The following table
presents the allocation of the purchase price (in thousands):
In-process research and development.................... $ 43,400
Acquired technology.................................... 4,000
Workforce.............................................. 3,300
Trademark.............................................. 800
Excess of cost over fair value of net assets
acquired............................................. 517,824
Net fair value of tangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed.................................. 17,272
--------
Purchase price......................................... $586,596
========
The amounts allocated to acquired technology, workforce and trademark are being
amortized over the assets' estimated useful life which is equivalent to a three-
year period. Similarly, the excess of cost over fair value of net assets
acquired is being amortized over the asset's estimated useful life which is
equivalent to a three-year period. The amount allocated to in-process research
and development is expensed immediately due to the fact that there is no
alternate future use.
OnDisplay. Effective July 5, 2000, the Company acquired OnDisplay, Inc.
("OnDisplay"), a leading
7
<PAGE>
provider of e-business infrastructure software for powering e-business portals
and e-marketplaces, in exchange for 35,869,056 shares of Vignette common stock.
The total cost of the acquisition, including transaction costs of $14.0 million,
was approximately $1.5 billion. The acquired net assets were recorded at their
estimated fair values at the effective date of the acquisition. The following
table presents the allocation of the purchase price (in thousands):
In-process research and development................... $ 103,200
Acquired technology................................... 24,800
Workforce............................................. 19,100
Deferred compensation................................. 52,865
Excess of cost over fair value of net assets
acquired............................................ 1,197,167
Net fair value of tangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed................................. 100,778
----------
Purchase price........................................ $1,497,910
==========
The amount allocated to workforce is being amortized over the asset's estimated
useful life, which is equivalent to a three-year period. Similarly, the amount
allocated to acquired technology and the excess of cost over fair value of net
liabilities acquired are being amortized over the assets' estimated useful life
which is equivalent to a four-year period. The amount allocated to in-process
research and development is expensed immediately due to the fact that there is
no alternative future use.
During the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company consummated its
acquisition of OnDisplay, Inc. Because Vignette acquired OnDisplay employee
stock options as part of the business combination, the Company was subject to
the requirements of Interpretation 44. Using the Black-Scholes methodology of
valuing options, the estimated fair value of employee stock options assumed was
$168.5 million. Approximately $52.9 million was recorded as deferred stock
compensation and is being amortized over the options' remaining life. The
remaining $115.6 was included in the excess of cost over fair value of net
liabilities acquired and is being amortized over the asset's estimated useful
life which is equivalent to a four-year period.
In connection with our respective acquisitions of Engine 5, DataSage and
OnDisplay, we incurred one-time acquisition costs and integration-related
charges, which included costs associated with product integration, cross
training and other merger-related costs. Additionally, a portion of the
OnDisplay and DataSage purchase price was allocated to in-process research and
development based upon an independent third party appraisal and expensed upon
the consummation of the transactions. These acquisition costs and integration-
related charges totaled $107.3 million and $166.9 million for the three-month
and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000, respectively.
Because these respective acquisitions were accounted for as purchases, the
results of operations of the acquired entities have been included with those of
the Company for periods subsequent to their respective acquisition dates. The
following presents the unaudited pro forma combined results of operations of
Vignette with Engine 5, DataSage and OnDisplay for the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999, after giving effect to certain pro forma
adjustments. These pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of what the
actual consolidated results of operations might have been if the acquisition had
been effective on January 1, 1999 or of future results of operations of the
consolidated entities (in thousands, except for per share data):

The pro forma amounts reflected above exclude one-time acquisition charges,
including in-process research and development charges, of $146.6 million and
$11.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.
NOTE 5 -- Capital Structure
In November 1999, the Company announced a two-for-one stock split in the form of
a stock dividend. Stockholders received one additional share for each share of
Vignette common stock held on the record date of November 15, 1999. These shares
were paid after market close on December 1, 1999. All financial information
contained herein retroactively reflects the effect of this stock dividend.
In April 2000, the Company effected a three-for-one stock split in the form of a
stock dividend. Stockholders received two additional shares for each share of
Vignette common stock held on the record date of March 27, 2000. These shares

ITEM 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The statements contained in this Report on Form 10-Q that are not purely
historical statements are forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements
regarding our expectations, beliefs, hopes, intentions or strategies regarding
the future. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties.
Actual results may differ materially from those indicated in such forward-
looking statements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking
statements after the date of this Report on Form 10-Q to conform these
statements to actual results. See Item 3, "Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk."
Overview
We are a leading global provider of e-Business application software products and
services. Our e-Business solutions are designed to enable businesses to build
successful and sustainable online businesses. Our e-Business solutions allow
both traditional brick-and-mortar and startup dot-com businesses to create and
manage Internet business channels that are designed to attract, engage and
retain their customers, partners, and suppliers online. Using our solutions, our
clients build e-Business applications that are focused on personalized and mass
customized multiple touchpoints and communication channels. We were founded in
December 1995. To date, we have developed and released several versions of our
product and have sold our products and services to 1,151 clients. We market and
sell our products worldwide primarily through our direct sales force but also
market through third party providers.
We derive our revenue from the sale of software product licenses and from
professional consulting, maintenance and support services. Product license
revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the
product has been delivered, we have no remaining significant obligations with
regard to implementation, the license fee is fixed or determinable and
collection of the fee is probable. Services revenue consists of fees from
professional services and from maintenance and telephone support. Professional
services include integration of software, application development, training and
software installation. We bill professional services fees on a time-and-
materials basis. We recognize professional services fees billed on a time-and-
materials basis as the services are performed. Our clients typically purchase
maintenance agreements annually, and we price maintenance agreements based on a
percentage of our current product list price. We price telephone support based
on differing levels of support. Clients purchasing maintenance agreements
receive unspecified product upgrades and electronic, Web-based technical
support, while purchasers of support contracts receive additional telephone
support. We recognize revenue from maintenance and support agreements ratably
over the term of the agreement, which is typically one year. We record cash
receipts from clients and billed amounts due from clients in excess of revenue
recognized as deferred revenue. The timing and amount of cash receipts from
clients can vary significantly depending on specific contract terms and can
therefore have a significant impact on the amount of deferred revenue in any
given period.
Since our inception, we have incurred substantial costs to develop our
technology and products, to recruit and train personnel for our engineering,
sales and marketing and professional services departments, and to establish an
administrative organization. As a result of these investments and charges
related to acquisitions, we have incurred significant losses since inception
and, as of September 30, 2000, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately
$473.3 million. We believe our success depends on further increasing our client
base and on growth in the emerging e-Business solutions market. Accordingly, we
intend to continue to invest heavily in sales, marketing, professional services,
research and development and in our operational and financial systems.
Furthermore, we expect to continue to incur operating losses, excluding
amortization of intangibles and stock-based compensation, at least through the
first quarter of 2001, and our expected increase in operating expenses will
require significant increases in revenues before we become profitable on an
operating basis.
We had 2,151 full-time employees at September 30, 2000, up from 542 at September
30, 1999. This rapid growth places a significant demand on our management and
operational resources. In order to manage growth effectively, we must implement
and improve our operational systems, procedures and controls on a
10
<PAGE>
timely basis. In addition, we expect that future expansion will continue to
challenge our ability to hire, train, motivate, and manage our employees.
Competition is intense for highly qualified technical, sales and marketing and
management personnel. If our total revenue does not increase relative to our
operating expenses, our management systems do not expand to meet increasing
demands, we fail to attract, assimilate and retain qualified personnel, or our
management otherwise fails to manage our expansion effectively, there would be a
material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial
condition.
Effective January 18, 2000, we acquired Engine 5, Ltd. ("Engine 5"), a developer
of enterprise-wide Java server technology, in exchange for 248,012 shares of
Vignette common stock and approximately $4.9 million in cash. Of the common
stock initially exchanged, approximately 143,397 shares related to the
assumption of Engine 5's existing pre-acquisition stock option grants. The
total cost of the acquisition, including transaction costs of $400,000, was
approximately $20.0 million. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase
business combination. Accordingly, the acquired net liabilities were recorded
at their estimated fair values at the effective date of the acquisition and the
results of operations of Engine 5 have been included with those of the Company
for the periods subsequent to the date of the acquisition.
Additionally, contingent consideration of approximately 88,461 shares of
Vignette common stock and approximately $4.3 million in cash will be based upon
defined future employment requirements earned through the first quarter of
fiscal year 2002. The contingent consideration related to the Engine 5
acquisition is not included in the total purchase price, above, but will be
expensed when the future employment requirements have been met.
Effective February 15, 2000, we acquired all of the outstanding stock and
assumed all outstanding stock options of DataSage, Inc. ("DataSage"), a leading
provider of e-Marketing and personalization applications that help organizations
create a comprehensive single enterprise-wide view of their customers, in
exchange for 9,479,229 shares of Vignette common stock. The total cost of the
acquisition, including transaction costs, was approximately $586.6 million. The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business combination. Accordingly,
the acquired net assets were recorded at their estimated fair values at the
effective date of the acquisition and the results of operations of DataSage have
been included with those of the Company for the periods subsequent to the date
of the acquisition.
Effective July 5, 2000, we acquired all of the outstanding stock and assumed all
outstanding stock options of OnDisplay, Inc. ("OnDisplay"), a leading provider
of e-business infrastructure software for powering e-business portals and e-
marketplaces, in exchange for 35,869,056 shares of Vignette common stock. The
total cost of the acquisition, including transaction costs of $14.0 million, was
approximately $1.5 billion. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase
business combination. Accordingly, the acquired net assets were recorded at
their estimated fair values at the effective date of the acquisition and the
results of OnDisplay have been included with those of the Company for the
periods subsequent to the date of the acquisition.
In connection with our respective acquisitions of Engine 5, DataSage and
OnDisplay, we incurred one-time acquisition costs and integration-related
charges, which included costs associated with product integration, cross
training, and other merger-related costs. Additionally, a portion of the
OnDisplay and DataSage purchase price was allocated to in-process research and
development based upon an independent third party appraisal and expensed upon
the consummation of the transactions. These related charges totaled $107.3
million and $166.9 million for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2000, respectively.

Revenue
Total revenue increased 355% to $110.4 million in the three months ended
September 30, 2000 from $24.2 million in the three months ended September 30,
1999. Total revenue increased 403% to $242.7 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 from $48.2 million in the nine months ended September 30,
1999. This increase was attributable to an increase in our client base, which
grew from 393 at the end of the third quarter of 1999 to 1,151 at the end of the
third quarter of 2000, an increase in the average size of new client orders and
follow-on orders from existing clients. Although our total revenue has increased
in recent periods, we cannot be certain that total revenue will grow in future
periods or that it will grow at similar rates as in the past.
Product License. Product license revenue increased 435% to $66.2 million in the
three months ended September 30, 2000 from $12.4 million in the three months
ended September 30, 1999, representing 60% and 51% of total revenue,
respectively. Product license revenue increased 460% to $137.5 million in the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $24.6 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, representing 57% and 51% of total revenue, respectively. The
increase in product license revenue in absolute dollars was due to increases in
the number of clients and the average deal size of new client orders, resulting
from growing market acceptance of our product lines over prior periods, as well
as an increase in follow-on orders from existing clients.
Services. Services revenue increased 272% to $44.2 million in the three months
ended September 30, 2000 from $11.9 million in the three months ended September
30, 1999, representing 40% and 49% of total
12
<PAGE>
revenue, respectively. Services revenue increased 344% to $105.2 million in the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $23.7 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, representing 43% and 49% of total revenue, respectively.
Services revenue from professional services fees continues to be the primary
component of total services revenue, representing 30% of total revenues in the
three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to 40% in the three months
ended September 30, 1999. The increase in all types of services revenue in
absolute dollars was due primarily to an increase in the number of clients,
which generally include or lead to contracts to perform professional services
and training and purchases of software maintenance and technical support service
agreements.
We believe that growth in our product license sales depends on our ability to
provide our clients with support, training, consulting and implementation
services and educating third-party resellers on how to implement our products.
As a result, we continued to expand our professional services organization
throughout 2000 and intend to continue expanding our professional services
organization for the foreseeable future.
Cost of Revenue
Product License. Product license costs consist of expenses we incur to
manufacture, package and distribute our products and related documentation and
costs of licensing third-party software incorporated into our products. Product
license costs increased to $2.4 million in the three months ended September 30,
2000 from $777,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1999, representing 4%
and 6% of product license revenue, respectively. Product license costs increased
to $6.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $1.9 million in
the nine months ended September 30, 1999, representing 4% and 8% of product
license revenue, respectively. The increase in absolute dollars for the three
and nine month periods was principally a result of both product license sales
growth and royalties paid to third party vendors for technology embedded in our
product offerings. Product license costs decreased as a percentage of product
license revenue primarily because significant product license revenue growth
outpaced increases in product license costs in addition to a higher average
sales price in 2000 relative to 1999. We generally expect product license costs
to increase in the future in absolute dollar terms due to additional clients
licensing our products and the acquisition of OEM licenses to third-party
technology that we may choose to embed in our product offerings.
Services. Services costs include salary expense and other related costs for our
professional service, maintenance and customer support staffs, as well as third-
party contractor expenses. Services costs increased to $33.2 million in the
three months ended September 30, 2000 from $9.7 million in the three months
ended September 30, 1999, representing 75% and 82% of services revenue,
respectively. Services costs increased to $78.7 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 from $20.0 million in the nine months ended September 30,
1999, representing 75% and 84% of services revenue, respectively. The increase
in absolute dollars resulted from the rapid expansion of our services
organization. The overall improvement in services gross profit margin reflects
increased leverage from the productivity of support, training, consulting and
implementation activities. We expect services costs to increase in the future in
absolute dollars to the extent that services revenues increase. We expect
services costs as a percentage of services revenue to decrease over time.
Services costs as a percentage of services revenue can be expected to vary
significantly from period to period depending on the mix of services we provide,
whether such services are provided by us or by third-party contractors, and
overall utilization rates.
Professional services-related costs increased to $31.1 million in the three
months ended September 30, 2000 from $9.2 million in the three months ended
September 30, 1999, representing 94% and 95% of professional services-related
revenue, respectively. Professional services-related costs increased to $74.5
million in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $18.6 million in the
nine months ended September 30, 1999, representing 92% and 97% of professional
services-related revenue, respectively. Maintenance and support-related costs
increased to $2.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2000 from
$558,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1999, representing 19% and 25%
of maintenance and support-related revenue, respectively. Maintenance and
support-related costs increased to $4.2 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 from $1.4 million in the nine months ended
13
<PAGE>
September 30, 1999, representing 18% and 30% of maintenance and support-related
revenue, respectively.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily
of personnel costs to support product development. Research and development
expenses increased to $17.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2000
from $4.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 1999, representing 16%
and 19% of total revenue, respectively. Research and development expenses
increased to $35.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from
$10.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1999, representing 15% and
21% of total revenue, respectively. The increase in absolute dollars was due to
the increase in engineering personnel and to the expansion of our product
offerings. The decrease in research and development as a percentage of total
revenue resulted primarily because significant revenue growth outpaced increases
in research and development expenditures. We believe that continued investment
in research and development is critical to maintaining a competitive advantage,
and, as a result, we expect research and development expenses to increase in
absolute dollars in future periods. Software development costs that were
eligible for capitalization in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold,
Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, were insignificant during the periods presented
as technological feasibility of our software is generally not established until
substantially all product development is complete. Accordingly, such
development costs have been expensed in the period incurred.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries
and other related costs for sales and marketing personnel, sales commissions,
travel, public relations and marketing materials and tradeshows. Sales and
marketing expenses increased to $53.1 million in the three months ended
September 30, 2000 from $12.2 million in the three months ended September 30,
1999, representing 48% and 50% of total revenue, respectively. Sales and
marketing expenses increased to $114.8 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 from $28.8 million in the nine months ended September 30,
1999, representing 47% and 60% of total revenue, respectively. Sales and
marketing expenses increased in absolute dollars due to a significant increase
in sales and marketing personnel, increased marketing program expenditures as
well as higher commissions resulting from the absolute dollar growth in our
customer bookings. We believe these expenses will continue to increase in
absolute dollars in future periods as we expect to continue to expand our sales
and marketing efforts to promote further growth. We also anticipate that sales
and marketing expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue from
period to period as new sales personnel are hired and begin to achieve
productivity and achieve commission accelerators as well as the timing of new
product releases.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries and other related costs for operations, finance,
accounting, information technology, and legal employees and certain facilities-
related expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $13.1 million
in the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $2.6 million in the three
months ended September 30, 1999, representing 12% and 11% of total revenue,
respectively. General and administrative expenses increased to $25.5 million in
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $6.0 million in the nine months
ended September 30, 1999, representing 11% and 12% of total revenue,
respectively. The increase in absolute dollars for these periods was due to
increased personnel, information technology and facility expenses necessary to
support our expanding operations. We believe general and administrative expenses
will increase in absolute dollars as we expect to increase staffing and
infrastructure expenses to support our continued growth.
Purchased In-Process Research and Development, Acquisition-Related and Other
Charges. In connection with our acquisitions of Engine 5, DataSage and
OnDisplay, we incurred one-time acquisition costs and integration-related
charges, which include costs associated with product integration, cross
training, and other merger-related costs. Additionally, a portion of the
OnDisplay and DataSage purchase price was allocated to in-process research and
development based upon an independent third party appraisal and was expensed
upon the consummation of the transaction. These related charges totaled $107.3
million and $166.9 million for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2000, respectively.
14
<PAGE>
Amortization of Deferred Stock Compensation. We have recorded deferred stock
compensation for the difference between the exercise price of certain stock
option grants and the estimated fair value of our common stock at the time of
such grants. We are amortizing this amount over the vesting periods of the
applicable options, resulting in amortization expense of $22.4 million and $1.2
million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. Amortization expense related to deferred stock compensation was
$25.4 million and $4.1 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30,
2000 and 1999, respectively.
Amortization of Intangibles. In conjunction with our acquisition of Diffusion
Inc., effective June 30, 1999, the purchase price amounts allocated to acquired
technology of $6.3 million and workforce of $900,000, as well as excess of cost
over fair value of net assets acquired of $14.1 million, are being amortized
over the assets' estimated useful lives of three years.
In conjunction with our acquisition of Engine 5, effective January 18, 2000, the
purchase price amounts allocated to acquired technology of $1.0 million and
workforce of $300,000, as well as excess of cost over fair value of net assets
acquired of $19.8 million, are being amortized over the assets' estimated useful
lives of two years.
In conjunction with our acquisition of DataSage, effective February 15, 2000,
the purchase price amounts allocated to acquired technology of $4.0 million,
workforce of $3.3 million and trademark of $800,000, as well as excess of cost
over fair value of net assets acquired of $517.8 million, are being amortized
over the assets' estimated useful lives of three years.
Similarly, in conjunction with our acquisition of OnDisplay, effective July 5,
2000, the purchase price amounts allocated to acquired technology of $24.8
million, workforce of $19.1 million, as well as excess of cost over fair value
of net assets acquired of $1.2 billion, are being amortized over the assets'
estimated useful lives, which range from three to four years.
Intangible amortization expense resulting from the above acquisitions was $126.8
million and $201.4 million for the three months and nine months ended September
30, 2000, respectively.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net consists primarily of interest income and expense. Other
income, net increased to $6.7 million in the three months ended September 30,
2000 from $829,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1999. Other income,
net increased to $18.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from
$2.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The increase was due
to larger cash balances, cash equivalents and short term investments resulting
from our initial and secondary public offerings in February 1999 and December
1999, respectively, and cash acquired through purchases of businesses.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes. The Company has incurred income tax expense of
approximately $440,000 in the three months and nine months ended September 30,
2000. The income tax expense consists primarily of foreign withholding taxes on
income generated in non-US tax jurisdictions.
We have provided a full valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets,
which include net operating loss and research and development carryforwards,
because of the uncertainty regarding their realization. Our accounting for
deferred taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes, involves the evaluation of a number of factors
concerning the realizability of our deferred tax assets. In concluding that a
full valuation allowance was required, management primarily considered such
factors as our history of operating losses and expected future losses and the
nature of our deferred tax assets.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash inflows from operating activities were $10.6 million during the nine
months ended September 30,
15
<PAGE>
2000, as compared to net cash operating outflows of $3.7 million during the nine
months ended September 30, 1999. The improvement in operating cash flows
resulted principally from the reduction in core net losses, which excludes
noncash charges such as the write-off of purchased research and development,
amortization of intangibles and amortization of deferred compensation.
Net cash inflows from investing activities were $59.4 million during the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to net cash investing outflows of
$9.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Our investing
activities consisted largely of capital expenditures totaling $31.6 million and
$5.4 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively, to acquire property and equipment, mainly computer hardware and
software and leasehold improvements for facilities expansions for our growing
employee base. In addition, during the first nine months of 2000, our investing
activities included purchases of equity securities totaling $26.8 million for
strategic investments in companies, as compared to purchases of $4.0 million for
the comparable period in 1999. These investing outflows were offset by net cash
acquired through purchase of businesses of $123.4 million and $56,000 for the
nine-month periods ending September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. We expect
that our investing activities will continue to increase in the foreseeable
future as we support our continued growth.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September
30, 2000 and 1999 was $26.6 million and $74.3 million, respectively. Our
financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 resulted
primarily from proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and purchase
of employee stock purchase plan shares. Our financing activities during the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 resulted primarily from our initial public
offering in the first quarter of 1999.
At September 30, 2000, we had $499.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and
short-term investments and $417.9 million in working capital. Based on our
current operating plan, we believe that our cash on hand, cash equivalents and
short-term investments will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for the
foreseeable future, including working capital requirements and planned capital
expenditures. We may require additional funds for other purposes and may seek to
raise such additional funds through public and private equity financings from
other sources. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be
available at all or that, if available, such financing will be obtainable on
terms favorable to us or that any additional financing will not be dilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
("Statement 133"). In June 1999, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities--Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133 ("Statement
137"), which defers for one year the effective date of Statement 133. As a
result of the deferral provisions of Statement 137, Statement 133 is now
effective for our fiscal year 2001. We have minimal use of derivatives, except
for our strategic investments which are generally in the form of redeemable
convertible preferred stock. We have not determined the impact, if any, that the
adoption of Statement 133 will have on our results of operations or financial
position.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff released Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition ("SAB 101"), which provides
guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial
statements. In June 2000, SAB 101B was released which delays the effective date
of SAB 101 until no later than the fourth quarter of fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1999. The Company does not expect the adoption of SAB 101 to
have a material impact on our results of operations or our financial position.
In March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain
Transactions Involving Stock Compensation ("Interpretation 44"), with an
effective date of July 1, 2000. Interpretation 44 clarifies guidance for
certain issues that arose in the application of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). During the three months ended September
30, 2000, the Company consummated its acquisition of OnDisplay, Inc. Because
Vignette acquired OnDisplay employee stock
16
<PAGE>
options as part of the business combination, the Company was subject to the
requirements of Interpretation 44. Using the Black-Scholes methodology of
valuing options, the estimated fair value of employee stock options assumed was
$168.5 million. Approximately $52.9 million was recorded as deferred stock
compensation and is being amortized over the options' remaining life. The
remaining $115.6 was included in the excess of cost over fair value of net
liabilities acquired and is being amortized over the asset's estimated useful
life which is equivalent to a four-year period.

ITEM 3 -- QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The majority of our operations are based in the U.S. and, accordingly, the
majority of our transactions are denominated in U.S. Dollars. However, we do
have foreign-based operations where transactions are denominated in foreign
currencies and are subject to market risk with respect to fluctuations in the
relative value of currencies. Currently, we have operations in Europe and the
Asia Pacific region and conduct transactions in the local currency of each
location. The impact of fluctuations in the relative value of other currencies
was not material for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
Our interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S.
interest rates, particularly since the majority of our investments are in short-
term instruments. Due to the nature of our short-term investments, we have
concluded that we do not have material market risk exposure. Our investment
policy requires us to invest funds in excess of current operating requirements
in:
. obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies;
. investment grade state and local government obligations;
. securities of U.S. corporations rated A1 or P1 by Standard & Poor's or the
Moody's equivalents; and/or
. money market funds, deposits or notes issued or guaranteed by U.S. and non-
U.S. commercial banks meeting certain credit rating and net worth
requirements with maturities of less than two years.
At September 30, 2000, our cash and cash equivalents consisted primarily of
demand deposits and money market funds held by large institutions in the U.S.,
and our short-term investments were invested in corporate debt maturing in less
than 90 days.
You should carefully consider the following risks before making an investment
decision. The risks described below are not the only ones that we face. Our
business, operating results or financial condition could be materially adversely
affected by any of the following risks. The trading price of our common stock
could decline due to any of these risks, and you as an investor may lose all or
part of your investment. You should also refer to the other information set
forth in this report, including our financial statements and the related notes.
Risks Related to Our Business
We Expect to Incur Future Losses
We incurred net losses of $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1996,
$7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, $26.2 million for the year
ended December 31, 1998, $42.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 and
$393.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. As of September 30,
2000, we had an accumulated deficit of $473.3 million. We have not achieved
profitability and we expect to incur net operating losses at least through the
first quarter of 2001. To date, we have primarily funded our operations from
the sale of equity securities. We expect to continue to incur significant
product development, sales and marketing, and administrative expenses and, as a
result, we will need to generate significant revenues to achieve and maintain
profitability. Although our revenues have grown significantly in recent
quarters, we cannot be certain that we can sustain these growth rates or that we
will achieve sufficient revenues for profitability. If we do achieve
profitability, we cannot be certain that we can sustain or increase
profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.
Our Limited Operating History Makes Financial Forecasting Difficult
We were founded in December 1995 and thus have a limited operating history. As
a result of our limited operating history, we cannot forecast operating expenses
based on our historical results. Accordingly, we base our expenses in part on
future revenue projections. Most of our expenses are fixed in the short term and
we may not be able to quickly reduce spending if our revenues are lower than we
had projected. Our ability to forecast accurately our quarterly revenue is
limited because our software products have a long sales cycle that makes it
difficult to predict the quarter in which sales will occur. We would expect our
18
<PAGE>
business, operating results and financial condition to be materially adversely
affected if our revenues do not meet our projections and that net losses in a
given quarter would be even greater than expected.
We Expect Our Quarterly Revenues and Operating Results to Fluctuate
Our revenues and operating results have varied significantly from quarter to
quarter in the past and we expect our operating results will continue to vary
significantly from quarter to quarter. A number of factors are likely to cause
these variations, including:
. Demand for our products and services;
. The timing of sales of our products and services;
. The timing of customer orders and product implementations;
. Unexpected delays in introducing new products and services;
. Increased expenses, whether related to sales and marketing, product
development or administration;
. Changes in the rapidly evolving market for e-Business solutions;
. The mix of product license and services revenue, as well as the mix of
products licensed;
. The mix of services provided and whether services are provided by our
own staff or third-party contractors;
. The mix of domestic and international sales; and
. Costs related to possible acquisitions of technology or businesses.
Accordingly, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating
results are not necessarily meaningful. Investors should not rely on the results
of one quarter as an indication of future performance.
We plan to increase our operating expenses to expand sales and marketing
operations, develop new distribution channels, fund greater levels of research
and development, broaden professional services and support and improve
operational and financial systems. If our revenues do not increase along with
these expenses, our business, operating results or financial condition could be
materially adversely affected and net losses in a given quarter would be even
greater than expected.
Although we have a limited operating history, we believe that our quarterly
operating results may experience seasonal fluctuations. For instance, quarterly
results may fluctuate based on client calendar year budgeting cycles, slow
summer purchasing patterns in Europe and our compensation policies that tend to
compensate sales personnel, typically in the latter half of the year, for
achieving annual quotas.
We Depend on Increased Business from Our Current and New Customers and If We
Fail to Grow Our Customer Base or Generate Repeat Business, Our Operating
Results Could Be Harmed
If we fail to grow our customer base or generate repeat and expanded business
from our current and new customers, our business and operating results would be
seriously harmed. Most of our customers initially make a limited purchase of our
products and services for pilot programs. Many of these customers may not choose
to purchase additional licenses to expand their use of our products. Many of
these customers have not yet developed or deployed initial applications based on
our products. If these customers do not successfully develop and deploy such
initial applications, they may not choose to purchase deployment licenses or
additional development licenses. Our business model depends on the expanded use
of our products within our customers' organizations.
In addition, as we introduce new versions of our products or new products, our
current customers may not require the functionality of our new products and may
not ultimately license these products. Because the total amount of maintenance
and support fees we receive in any period depends in large part on the size and
number of licenses that we have previously sold, any downturn in our software
license revenue would negatively impact our future services revenue. In
addition, if customers elect not to renew their maintenance agreements, our
services revenue could be significantly adversely affected.
19
<PAGE>
Our Operating Results May Be Adversely Affected By Small Delays in Customer
Orders or Product Implementations
Small delays in customer orders or product implementations can cause significant
variability in our license revenues and operating results for any particular
period. We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from the sale of products
with related services. In certain cases, our revenue recognition policy requires
us to substantially complete the implementation of our product before we can
recognize software license revenue, and any end of quarter delays in product
implementation could materially adversely affect operating results for that
quarter.
In Order to Increase Market Awareness of Our Products and Generate Increased
Revenue We Need to Expand Our Sales and Distribution Capabilities
We must expand our direct and indirect sales operations to increase market
awareness of our products and generate increased revenue. We cannot be certain
that we will be successful in these efforts. We have recently expanded our
direct sales force and plan to hire additional sales personnel. Our products and
services require a sophisticated sales effort targeted at the senior management
of our prospective clients. New hires will require training and take time to
achieve full productivity. We cannot be certain that our recent hires will
become as productive as necessary or that we will be able to hire enough
qualified individuals in the future. We also plan to expand our relationships
with value-added resellers, systems integrators and other third-party resellers
to build an indirect sales channel. In addition, we will need to manage
potential conflicts between our direct sales force and third-party reselling
efforts.
Failure To Maintain The Support Of Third Party e-Business Consultants May Limit
Our Ability To Penetrate Our Markets
A significant portion of our sales are influenced by the recommendations of our
products made by systems integrators, consulting firms and other third parties
that help develop and deploy e-business applications for our clients. Losing
the support of these third parties may limit our ability to penetrate our
markets. These third parties are under no obligation to recommend or support our
products. These companies could recommend or give higher priority to the
products of other companies or to their own products. A significant shift by
these companies toward favoring competing products could negatively affect our
license and service revenue.
Our Lengthy Sales Cycle and Product Implementation Makes It Difficult to Predict
Our Quarterly Results
We have a long sales cycle because we generally need to educate potential
clients regarding the use and benefits of e-Business applications. Our long
sales cycle makes it difficult to predict the quarter in which sales may fall.
In addition, since we recognize the majority of our revenue from product sales
upon implementation of our product, the timing of product implementation could
cause significant variability in our license revenues and operating results for
any particular period. The implementation of our products requires a significant
commitment of resources by our clients, third-party professional services
organizations or our professional services organization, which makes it
difficult to predict the quarter when implementation will be completed.
We May Be Unable to Adequately Develop A Profitable Professional Services
Organization Which Could Affect Both Our Operating Results and Our Ability to
Assist Our Clients with the Implementation of Our Products.
We cannot be certain that we can attract or retain a sufficient number of the
highly qualified services personnel that our business needs and we cannot be
certain that our services business will ever achieve profitability. Clients that
license our software typically engage our professional services organization to
assist with support, training, consulting and implementation of their Web
solutions. We believe that growth in our product sales depends on our ability to
provide our clients with these services and to educate third-party resellers on
how to use our products. As a result, we plan to increase the number of service
personnel to meet these needs. New services personnel will require training and
education and take time to reach full
20
<PAGE>
productivity. To meet our needs for services personnel, we may also need to use
more costly third-party consultants to supplement our own professional services
organization. We expect our services revenue to increase in absolute dollars as
we continue to provide consulting and training services that complement our
products and as our installed base of clients grows. To date, services costs
related to professional services have exceeded, or have been substantially equal
to, professional services-related revenue. Although we expect that our
professional services-related revenue will exceed professional services-related
costs in future periods, we cannot be certain that this will occur. We generally
bill our clients for our services on a "time and materials" basis. However, from
time to time we enter into fixed-price contracts for services. On occasion, the
costs of providing the services have exceeded our fees from these contracts and,
from time to time, we may misprice future contracts to our detriment. In
addition, competition for qualified services personnel with the appropriate
Internet specific knowledge is intense. We are in a new market and there is a
limited number of people who have acquired the skills needed to provide the
services that our clients demand.
We May Be Unable to Attract Necessary Third Party Service Providers Which Could
Affect Our Ability to Provide Support, Consulting and Implementation Services
for Our Products
There may be a shortage of third party service providers to assist our clients
with the implementation of our products. We do not believe our professional
services organization will be able to fulfill the expected demand for support,
consulting and implementation services for our products. We are actively
attempting to supplement the capabilities of our services organization by
attracting and educating third party service providers and consultants to also
provide these services. We may not be successful in attracting these third party
providers or maintaining the interest of current third party providers. In
addition, these third parties may not devote enough resources to these
activities. A shortfall in service capabilities may affect our ability to sell
our software.
Our Business May Become Increasingly Susceptible to Numerous Risks Associated
with International Operations
International operations are generally subject to a number of risks, including:
. Expenses associated with customizing products for foreign countries;
. Protectionist laws and business practices that favor local
competition;
. Dependence on local vendors;
. Multiple, conflicting and changing governmental laws and regulations;
. Longer sales cycles;
. Difficulties in collecting accounts receivable;
. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; and
. Political and economic instability.
We recorded 24% of our total revenue in the quarter ended September 30, 2000,
through licenses and services sold to clients located outside of the United
States. We expect international revenue to account for an increasing percentage
of total revenue in the future and we believe that we must continue to expand
our international sales activities in order to be successful. Our international
sales growth will be limited if we are unable to establish additional foreign
operations, expand international sales channel management and support
organizations, hire additional personnel, customize products for local markets,
develop relationships with international service providers and establish
relationships with additional distributors and third party integrators. In that
case, our business, operating results and financial condition could be
materially adversely affected. Even if we are able to successfully expand
international operations, we cannot be certain that we will be able to maintain
or increase international market demand for our products.
To date, a majority of our international revenues and costs have been
denominated in foreign currencies. We believe that an increasing portion of our
international revenues and costs will be denominated in foreign currencies in
the future. In addition, although we cannot predict the potential consequences
to our business as a result of the adoption of the Euro as a common currency in
the European Economic
21
<PAGE>
Community, the transition to the Euro presents a number of risks, including
increased competition from European firms as a result of pricing transparency.
To date, we have not engaged in any foreign exchange hedging transactions and we
are therefore subject to foreign currency risk.
In Order to Properly Manage Growth, We May Need to Implement and Improve Our
Operational Systems on a Timely Basis
We have expanded our operations rapidly since inception. We intend to continue
to expand in the foreseeable future to pursue existing and potential market
opportunities. This rapid growth places a significant demand on management and
operational resources. In order to manage growth effectively, we must implement
and improve our operational systems, procedures and controls on a timely basis.
If we fail to implement and improve these systems, our business, operating
results and financial condition will be materially adversely affected.
We May Be Adversely Affected If We Lose Key Personnel
Our success depends largely on the skills, experience and performance of some
key members of our management. If we lose one or more of these key employees,
our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially
adversely affected. In addition, our future success will depend largely on our
ability to continue attracting and retaining highly skilled personnel. Like
other software companies, we face intense competition for qualified personnel,
particularly in the Austin, Texas area. We cannot be certain that we will be
successful in attracting, assimilating or retaining qualified personnel in the
future.
We Have Relied and Expect to Continue to Rely on Sales of Our V/5 Product Line
for Our Revenue
We currently derive substantially all of our revenues from the license and
related upgrades, professional services and support of our V/5 software
products. We expect that we will continue to depend on revenue related to new
and enhanced versions of our V/5 product line for at least the next several
quarters. We cannot be certain that we will be successful in upgrading and
marketing our products or that we will successfully develop and market new
products and services. If we do not continue to increase revenue related to our
existing products or generate revenue from new products and services, our
business, operating results and financial condition would be materially
adversely affected.
Our Future Revenue is Dependent Upon Our Ability to Successfully Market Our
Existing and Future Products
We expect that our future financial performance will depend significantly on
revenue from existing and future software products and the related tools that we
plan to develop, which is subject to significant risks. There are significant
risks inherent in a product introduction such as our existing V/Series and
eSeries software products. Market acceptance of these and future products will
depend on continued market development for Internet products and services and
the commercial adoption of standards on which the V/Series and eSeries is based.
We cannot be certain that either will occur. We cannot be certain that our
existing or future products offering will meet customer performance needs or
expectations when shipped or that it will be free of significant software
defects or bugs. If our products do not meet customer needs or expectations, for
whatever reason, upgrading or enhancing the product could be costly and time
consuming.
If We are Unable to Meet the Rapid Changes in e-Business Applications Technology
Our Existing Products Could Become Obsolete
The market for our products is marked by rapid technological change, frequent
new product introductions and Internet-related technology enhancements,
uncertain product life cycles, changes in client demands and evolving industry
standards. We cannot be certain that we will successfully develop and market new
products, new product enhancements or new products compliant with present or
emerging Internet technology standards. New products based on new technologies
or new industry standards can render
22
<PAGE>
existing products obsolete and unmarketable. To succeed, we will need to enhance
our current products and develop new products on a timely basis to keep pace
with developments related to Internet technology and to satisfy the increasingly
sophisticated requirements of our clients. Internet commerce technology,
particularly e-Business applications technology, is complex and new products and
product enhancements can require long development and testing periods. Any
delays in developing and releasing enhanced or new products could have a
material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial
condition.
We Face Intense Competition for e-Business Applications Software Which Could
Make it Difficult to Acquire and Retain Clients Now and in the Future
The Internet software market is intensely competitive. Our clients'
requirements and the technology available to satisfy those requirements
continually change. We expect competition to persist and intensify in the
future.
Our principal competitors include: in-house development efforts by potential
clients or partners; other vendors of software that directly address elements of
e-Business applications, such as BroadVision; and developers of software that
address only certain technology components of e-Business applications (e.g.,
content management), such as Interwoven.
Many of these companies, as well as some other competitors, have longer
operating histories and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing
and other resources than we do. Many of these companies can also leverage
extensive customer bases and adopt aggressive pricing policies to gain market
share. Potential competitors such as Netscape and Microsoft may bundle their
products in a manner that many discourage users from purchasing our products.
In addition, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among competitors
may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share.
Competitive pressures may make it difficult for us to acquire and retain clients
and may require us to reduce the price of our software. We cannot be certain
that we will be able to compete successfully with existing or new competitors.
If we fail to compete successfully against current or future competitors, our
business, operating results and financial condition would be materially
adversely affected.
We must Successfully Integrate Our Recent Acquisitions of, Engine 5, Ltd.,
DataSage, Inc. and OnDisplay, Inc.
We acquired Engine 5, Ltd., DataSage, Inc. and OnDisplay Inc. on January 18,
2000, February 15, 2000, and July 5, 2000, respectively. Our failure to
successfully address the risks associated with our acquisitions of these
companies could have a material adverse effect on our ability to develop and
market products based on their respective technologies. In particular, we are
developing integrated products and, accordingly, are devoting significant
resources to product development, sales and marketing. The success of these
acquisitions will depend on our ability to:
. Successfully integrate and manage their operations;
. Retain their key employees; and
. Develop and market products based on the acquired technology.
Potential Future Acquisitions Could Be Difficult to Integrate, Disrupt Our
Business, Dilute Stockholder Value and Adversely Affect Our Operating Results
We may acquire other businesses in the future, which would complicate our
management tasks. We may need to integrate widely dispersed operations that have
different and unfamiliar corporate cultures. These integration efforts may not
succeed or may distract management's attention from existing business
operations. Our failure to successfully manage future acquisitions could
seriously harm our business. Also, our existing stockholders would be diluted if
we financed the acquisitions by issuing equity securities.
23

The Internet is Generating Privacy Concerns in the Public and Within
Governments, Which Could Result in Legislation Materially and Adversely
Affecting Our Business or Result in Reduced Sales of Our Products, or Both
Businesses use our V/5 products to develop and maintain profiles to tailor the
content to be provided to Web site visitors. Typically, the software captures
profile information when consumers, business customers or employees visit a Web
site and volunteer information in response to survey questions. Usage data
collected over time augments the profiles. However, privacy concerns may
nevertheless cause visitors to resist providing the personal data necessary to
support this profiling capability. More importantly, even the perception of
security and privacy concerns, whether or not valid, may indirectly inhibit
market acceptance of our products. In addition, legislative or regulatory
requirements may heighten these concerns if businesses must notify Web site
users that the data captured after visiting certain Web sites may be used by
marketing entities to unilaterally direct product promotion and advertising to
that user. We are not aware of any such legislation or regulatory requirements
currently in effect in the United States. Other countries and political
entities, such as the European Economic Community, have adopted such legislation
or regulatory requirements. The United States may adopt similar legislation or
regulatory requirements. If consumer privacy concerns are not adequately
addressed, our business, financial condition and operating results could be
materially adversely affected.
Our V/5 products use "cookies" to track demographic information and user
preferences. A "cookie" is information keyed to a specific server, file pathway
or directory location that is stored on a user's hard drive, possibly without
the user's knowledge, but generally removable by the user. Germany has imposed
laws limiting the use of cookies, and a number of Internet commentators,
advocates and governmental bodies in the United States and other countries have
urged passage of laws limiting or abolishing the use of cookies. If such laws
are passed, our business, operating results and financial condition could be
materially adversely affected.
We Develop Complex Software Products Susceptible to Software Errors or Defects
that Could Result in Lost Revenues, or Delayed or Limited Market Acceptance
Complex software products such as ours often contain errors or defects,
particularly when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are
released. Despite internal testing and testing by current and potential
customers, our current and future products may contain serious defects. Serious
defects or errors could result in lost revenues or a delay in market acceptance,
which would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results
and financial condition.
If We Experienced a Product Liability Claim We Could Incur Substantial
Litigation Costs
Since our clients use our products for mission critical applications such as
Internet commerce, errors, defects or other performance problems could result in
financial or other damages to our clients. They could seek damages for losses
from us, which, if successful, could have a material adverse effect on our
business, operating results or financial condition. Although our license
agreements typically contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to
product liability claims, existing or future laws or unfavorable judicial
decisions could negate such limitation of liability provisions. We have not
experienced any product liability claims to date. However, a product liability
claim brought against us, even if not successful, would likely be time consuming
and costly.
Our Product Shipments Could Be Delayed if Third Party Software Incorporated in
Our Products is No Longer Available
We integrate third-party software as a component of our software. The third-
party software may not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable
terms. If we cannot maintain licenses to key third-party software, shipments of
our products could be delayed until equivalent software could be developed or
licensed and integrated into our products, which could materially adversely
affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
24
<PAGE>
Our Business is Based on Our Intellectual Property and We Could Incur
Substantial Costs Defending Our Intellectual Property From Infringement or a
Claim of Infringement
In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States
involving patents and other intellectual property rights. We could incur
substantial costs to prosecute or defend any such litigation. Although we are
not currently involved in any intellectual property litigation, we may be a
party to litigation in the future to protect our intellectual property or as a
result of an alleged infringement of other's intellectual property, forcing us
to do one or more of the following:
. Cease selling, incorporating or using products or services that
incorporate the challenged intellectual property;
. Obtain from the holder of the infringed intellectual property right a
license to sell or use the relevant technology, which license may not
be available on reasonable terms; and
. Redesign those products or services that incorporate such technology.
We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, trade secret and copyright law
and contractual restrictions to protect our technology. These legal protections
provide only limited protection. If we litigated to enforce our rights, it would
be expensive, divert management resources and may not be adequate to protect our
business.
Anti-Takeover Provisions in Our Charter Documents and Delaware Law Could Prevent
or Delay a Change in Control of Our Company
Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may
discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that a stockholder may
consider favorable. Such provisions include:
. Authorizing the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock;
. Providing for a classified board of directors with staggered, three-
year terms;
. Prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors;
. Requiring super-majority voting to effect certain amendments to our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws;
. Limiting the persons who may call special meetings of stockholders;
. Prohibiting stockholder action by written consent; and
. Establishing advance notice requirements for nominations for election
to the board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted
on by stockholders at stockholder meetings.
Certain provisions of Delaware law and our stock incentive plans may also
discourage, delay or prevent someone from acquiring or merging with us.
Risks Related to the Internet Industry
Our Performance Will Depend on the Growth of the Internet for Commerce
Our future success depends heavily on the Internet being accepted and widely
used for commerce. If Internet commerce does not continue to grow or grows more
slowly than expected, our business, operating results and financial condition
would be materially adversely affected. Consumers and businesses may reject the
Internet as a viable commercial medium for a number of reasons, including
potentially inadequate network infrastructure, slow development of enabling
technologies or insufficient commercial support. The Internet infrastructure may
not be able to support the demands placed on it by increased Internet usage and
bandwidth requirements. In addition, delays in the development or adoption of
new standards and protocols required to handle increased levels of Internet
activity, or increased government regulation could cause the Internet to lose
its viability as a commercial medium. Even if the required infrastructure,
standards, protocols or complementary products, services or facilities are
developed, we may incur substantial expenses adapting our solutions to changing
or emerging technologies.
25
<PAGE>
Our Performance Will Depend on the New Market for e-Business Applications
Software
The market for e-Business applications software is new and rapidly evolving. We
expect that we will continue to need intensive marketing and sales efforts to
educate prospective clients about the uses and benefits of our products and
services. Accordingly, we cannot be certain that a viable market for our
products will emerge or be sustainable. Enterprises that have already invested
substantial resources in other methods of conducting business may be reluctant
or slow to adopt a new approach that may replace, limit or compete with their
existing systems. Similarly, individuals have established patterns of purchasing
goods and services. They may be reluctant to alter those patterns. They may also
resist providing the personal data necessary to support our existing and
potential product uses. Any of these factors could inhibit the growth of online
business generally and the market's acceptance of our products and services in
particular.
There is Substantial Risk that Future Regulations Could Be Enacted that Either
Directly Restrict Our Business or Indirectly Impact Our Business By Limiting the
Growth of Internet Commerce
As Internet commerce evolves, we expect that federal, state or foreign agencies
will adopt regulations covering issues such as user privacy, pricing, content
and quality of products and services. If enacted, such laws, rules or
regulations could limit the market for our products and services, which could
materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating
results. Although many of these regulations may not apply to our business
directly, we expect that laws regulating the solicitation, collection or
processing of personal/consumer information could indirectly affect our
business. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 prohibits certain types of
information and content from being transmitted over the Internet. The
prohibition's scope and the liability associated with a Telecommunications Act
violation are currently unsettled. In addition, although substantial portions of
the Communications Decency Act were held to be unconstitutional, we cannot be
certain that similar legislation will not be enacted and upheld in the future.
It is possible that such legislation could expose companies involved in Internet
commerce to liability, which could limit the growth of Internet commerce
generally. Legislation like the Telecommunications Act and the Communications
Decency Act could dampen the growth in Web usage and decrease its acceptance as
a communications and commercial medium.
The United States government also regulates the export of encryption technology,
which our products incorporate. If our export authority is revoked or modified,
if our software is unlawfully exported or if the United States government adopts
new legislation or regulation restricting export of software and encryption
technology, our business, operating results and financial condition could be
materially adversely affected. Current or future export regulations may limit
our ability to distribute our software outside the United States. Although we
take precautions against unlawful export of our software, we cannot effectively
control the unauthorized distribution of software across the Internet.
Risks Related to the Securities Markets
Our Stock Price May Be Volatile
The market price of our common stock has been highly volatile and has fluctuated
significantly in the past. We believe that it may continue to fluctuate
significantly in the future in response to the following factors, some of which
are beyond our control:
. Variations in quarterly operating results;
. Changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;
. Changes in market valuations of Internet software companies;
. Announcements by us of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic
partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
. Loss of a major client or failure to complete significant license
transactions;
. Additions or departures of key personnel;
. Sales of common stock in the future; and
. Fluctuations in stock market price and volume, which are particularly
common among highly
26
<PAGE>
volatile securities of Internet and software companies.
Our Business May Be Adversely Affected By Class Action Litigation Due to Stock
Price Volatility
In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a
company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities.
We may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation
could result in substantial costs and divert management's attention and
resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating
results and financial condition.
We May Be Unable to Meet Our Future Capital Requirements
We expect the cash on hand, cash equivalents, marketable securities and short-
term investments, and commercial credit facilities to meet our working capital
and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months. After that time,
we may need to raise additional funds and we cannot be certain that we would be
able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, if at all. Further, if
we issue equity securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or
the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to
those of existing holders of common stock. If we cannot raise funds, if needed,
on acceptable terms, we may not be able to develop or enhance our products, take
advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or
unanticipated requirements, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, operating results and financial condition.
