NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation
Interim Financial Statements. The accompanying financial statements of
Evolving Systems, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the
Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. The unaudited financial statements included herein
have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and
reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments,
necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. The results for the period ended March 31, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter
or full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended
December 31, 1999 included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(2) Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic EPS was computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS was computed
using the weighted average number of common shares plus all dilutive potential
common shares outstanding during the period unless the effect of the potential
common shares is anti-dilutive.
The following is the reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the
basic and diluted EPS computations (in thousands, except per share data):

(3) Contingencies, Litigation Settlement and Legal Fees
In June 1998, four securities class action complaints were filed against the
Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors in the
Federal Court for the District of Colorado alleging violations of the federal
securities laws. The complaints were consolidated. The plaintiffs purported to
represent a class of persons who purchased the Company's securities during the
period of May 12, 1998 through July 23, 1998. The complaints alleged that the
Company and certain of its officers misled the investing public regarding the
financial prospects of the Company. The Company denied these allegations. The
parties reached a settlement of $10 million, of which the Company paid $2.5
million in April 1999. The settlement was approved by the Court on October 4,
1999. The Company incurred approximately $719,000 in legal costs associated with
the lawsuit.
The Company is currently involved in a dispute with a former officer
concerning amounts allegedly owed to the former officer in connection with his
employment. The Company believes the former officer's claims are without merit
and the parties are currently seeking to resolve the dispute through mediation.
Although it is too early to evaluate the outcome of this dispute, in the event
the parties are unable to reach a mutually agreeable resolution and the employee
subsequently succeeds in his claim, the outcome could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operation.
From time to time the Company is involved in various legal proceedings
arising in the normal course of business operations. Management does not expect
that any such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
---------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
GENERAL
- -------
Evolving Systems provides the telecommunications industry with software
products and systems integration for a full range of business and operational
support systems solutions.
For contracts entered into subsequent to January 1, 1998, the Company
recognizes revenue in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position
97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition". The Company derives revenue from license
fees and services under the terms of both fixed price and time and materials
contracts. License fees and related services revenue consists of revenue from
contracts involving the Company's LNP software products and related services.
Other services revenue consists of revenue from custom programming, systems
integration of third-party products, annual maintenance contracts and training.
License fees and related services revenue is generated from fixed price
contracts that provide for both licenses and services. Revenue under these
arrangements, where the services are essential to the functionality of the
delivered software, is generally
<PAGE>
recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. The
percentage-of-completion for each contract is determined based on the ratio of
direct labor hours incurred to total estimated direct labor hours. Amounts
billed in advance of services being performed are recorded as unearned revenue.
Unbilled work-in-progress represents revenue earned but not yet billable under
the terms of the fixed price contracts and all such amounts are expected to be
billed and collected during the succeeding 12 months.
In arrangements where the services are not essential to the functionality of
the delivered software, the Company recognizes license revenue when a license
agreement has been signed, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or
determinable and collectibility is probable. Where applicable, fees from
multiple element arrangements are unbundled and recorded as revenue as the
elements are delivered to the extent that vendor specific objective evidence of
fair value exists. If vendor specific objective evidence of fair value does not
exist, fees from such arrangements are deferred until the earlier of the date
that vendor specific objective evidence of fair value does exist or all of the
elements are delivered.
Services revenue provided under fixed price contracts is generally
recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting described
above. Revenue from other services provided pursuant to time-and-materials
contracts is recognized as the services are performed.
Annual maintenance revenue is recorded as deferred revenue and is recognized
ratably over the service period, which is generally 12 months. Revenue from
training services is recognized as the training services are performed. When
maintenance or training services are bundled with the original license fee
arrangement, their fair value is deferred and recognized during the periods such
services are provided.
The Company may encounter budget and schedule overruns on fixed price
contracts caused by increased material, labor or overhead costs. Adjustments to
cost estimates are made in the periods in which the facts requiring such
revisions become known. Estimated losses, if any, are recorded in the period in
which current estimates of total contract revenue and contract costs indicate a
loss.

The three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the three months ended March
31, 1999
Revenue. Total revenue increased approximately $2.8 million or 32% to $11.7
million in the three months-ended March 31, 2000 from $8.9 million in the three
months ended March 31, 1999. License fees and related services revenue increased
by $2.6 million or 369% to $3.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000
from $699,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1999, reflecting the increased
demand for LNP in the three months ended March 31, 2000 due to increased demand
from ILEC customers. The Company had one customer that purchased software where
the services were not essential to the functionality of the software. For this
customer, the software revenue was booked upon shipment. Other services revenue
increased by $249,000 or 3% to $8.4 million in the three months ended March 31,
2000 from $8.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 1999, reflecting
growth in consulting and custom programming projects with long-standing
customers in 2000. As a percentage of total revenue, license fees and related
services revenue increased to 28% for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from
8% for the three months ended March 31, 1999.
Cost of revenue. Total cost of revenue increased by $380,000 or 6% to $7.2
million in the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $6.8 million in the three
months ended March 31, 1999. As a percentage of total revenue, costs decreased
to 61.3% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from 76.6% of
revenue in the three months ended March 31, 1999. This is due to the mix in
revenues moving to a higher percentage of license fees and related services in
the three months ended March 31, 2000 that have a lower associated cost of
revenues. Cost of license fees and related services decreased by $168,000 or 8%
to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $2.0 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1999. As a percentage of total revenue, cost of
license fees and related services decreased to 15.8% for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 from 22.7% in the three months ended March 31, 1999. The decline
in costs of license fees and related services reflects the decreases in
personnel assigned to LNP product development and maintenance efforts, with the
maturity of the product, and reassignment of this staff to custom programming
and systems integration efforts. Cost of other services increased by $548,000 or
12% to $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $4.8 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The increase in other services
revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was due to costs related to
the increase in other services revenues and expense controls initiated in late
1998, which favorably impacted cost of other services for the three months ended
March 31, 1999. The increase in other services gross margin is primarily
attributable to the increasing cost of labor. The Company experienced an
increase to total gross margin in the three months ended March 31, 2000 of 39%
from 23% for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The change can be attributed
to the increase in product related revenues with higher gross margins as
previously discussed. The Company's expense levels are based significantly on
its expectations regarding future revenues. The Company's revenue is difficult
to forecast because the market for the Company's products and services is
rapidly evolving, and the Company's sales cycle and the size and timing of
significant contracts vary substantially among customers.
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $1.4 million or
204% to $2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $672,000 in the
three months ended March 31, 1999. As a percentage of revenue, sales and
marketing increased to 17.5% of revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2000
from 7.6% in the three months ended March 31, 1999. This percentage increase
reflects management's decision to increase the sales staff in 2000 to generate
further demand for the Company's products and services. The sales and marketing
headcount for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was 33 compared to 11 for
the three months ended March 31, 1999.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased by
$18,000 or 1% to $2.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $2.4
million in the three months ended March 31, 1999. As a percentage of revenue,
general and administrative expenses decreased to 20.6% in the three months ended
March 31, 2000 from 27.4% in the three months ended March 31, 1999. The
percentage decrease is a result of the relatively constant general and
administrative expenses compared to increased revenues from the prior period.
Research and development. In the first Quarter of 2000, all Research and
development expenses were charged to cost of revenue. This results from the
Company entering into licenses with customers prior to the completion of the
internal development.
Other income. Other income increased income by $64,000, or 36%, to $242,000 in
the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $178,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 1999. Interest expense declined $19,000 or 37% in the three months
ended March 31, 2000 from $51,000 to $32,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1999. This expense results principally from interest expense on the
Company's outstanding long term leases, which the Company has been steadily
paying down. The increase in other income for the three months ended March 31,
2000 is due to interest income on increased customer deposits for work not yet
performed.
Litigation settlement and expense. In June 1998, four securities class action
complaints were filed against the Company and certain of its current and former
officers and directors in the Federal Court for the District of Colorado
alleging violations of the federal securities laws. The complaints were
consolidated. The plaintiffs purported to represent a class of persons who
purchased the Company's securities during the period of May 12, 1998 through
July 23, 1998. The complaints alleged that the Company and certain of its
officers misled the investing public regarding the financial prospects of the
Company. The Company denied these allegations. The parties reached a settlement
of $10 million, of which the Company paid $2.5 million in April 1999. The
settlement was approved by the Court on October 4, 1999. The Company incurred
approximately $719,000 in legal costs associated with the lawsuit.
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes. The Company has recorded a partial
valuation allowance against its carryforward tax benefits to the extent that it
believes that it is more likely than not that all of such benefits will not be
realized in the foreseeable future. The Company's assessment of this valuation
allowance was made using all available evidence, both positive and negative. In
particular, the Company considered both its historical results and its
projections of profitability for only reasonably foreseeable future periods. The
Company recorded no income tax benefit related to 1999 operating losses, as
management deems it
<PAGE>
inappropriate to book such benefits until projected operating results reflect
greater certainty of profitability and the ability to realize such benefits. The
Company's realization of its recorded net deferred tax assets is dependent on
future taxable income and therefore, the Company is not assured that such
benefits will be realized.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
The Company has historically financed its operations through a combination
of cash flows from operations and borrowings. At March 31, 2000, the Company's
principal sources of liquidity included $5.8 million in cash and cash
equivalents, $7.2 million in unrestricted short term investments, and a $5.0
million secured bank line of credit, which expires in September 2000. As of
March 31, 2000, the Company had no outstanding balance under the line of credit
and the Company was in compliance with all related covenants.
Net cash used by operating activities was $2.3 million in the three months
ended March 31, 2000 compared to $24,000 provided by operations in the three
months ended March 31, 1999. The primary uses of cash by operations in the three
months ended March 31, 2000 were a decrease in unearned revenue and customer
deposits of $2.2 million, an increase of $2.1 million in unbilled work-in-
progress, a decrease of $927,000 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and
an increase in prepaid and other assets of $178,000. Receivables provided cash
of $1.8 million during this period reflecting increased collections on major
accounts. The main contributors to the provision of cash by operations in the
three months ended March 31, 1999 were a decrease in prepaid and other assets of
$1 million, partially offset by a decrease in unearned revenue and customer
deposits of $263,000 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities
of $2.6 million, primarily caused by the $2.5 million accrual of the litigation
settlement. Receivables provided cash of $618,000 during this period reflecting
increased collections on major accounts.
Net cash provided from investing activities during the three months ended
March 31, 2000 and used in investing activities during the three months ended
March 31, 1999 was $3.8 million and $4.0 million respectively. Cash was provided
from the sale of short term investments and used to acquire equipment and
facilities to support operations.
The Company's financing activities provided for $98,000 in cash through a
combination of stock option exercises resulting in $267,000 and $169,000 in
repayments of capital lease obligations for the period ended March 31, 2000.
This compares to $258,000 in cash used in financing activities in the three
months ended March 31, 1999 primarily for the repayment of capital leases.
The Company believes that its current cash and short-term investments,
together with anticipated cash flow from operations and its existing credit
facilities will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital
expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. Thereafter, the
Company may require additional funds to support such activity through public or
private equity financing or 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 the Company and would not be
dilutive.
Factors that might affect operating results.
The Company's operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past
and are likely to continue to fluctuate significantly in the future.
Fluctuations in operating results have may continue to result in volatility in
the price of the Company's Common Stock. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be profitable in the future or that the Company's level of
profitability will not vary significantly between quarters. These quarterly
fluctuations may result from a number of factors, including the magnitude,
timing and signing of new contracts; the Company's rate of progress under such
contracts; the timing of customer and market acceptance of the Company's product
and service offerings; actual or anticipated changes in government laws and
regulations related to the telecommunications market or judicial or
administrative actions with respect to such laws or regulations; the nature and
pace of enforcement of the Telecommunications Act of 1996; changes in
management; product lifecycles; the mix of products and services sold; changes
in demand for the Company's products and services; the timing of third-party
contractors' delivery of software and hardware; budgeting cycles of the
Company's customers; changes in the renewal rate of support agreements; the
timing and amount of expenditures made by the Company for research and
development and sales, general and administrative expenses; competition by
existing and emerging competitors in the telecommunications software markets;
the Company's success in developing and marketing new products, controlling
costs, attracting and retaining qualified personnel and expanding its sales and
marketing programs; regional office expansion; software defects and other
product quality problems; changes in the Company's strategy; the extent of
industry consolidation; expansion into international markets, and general
economic conditions.
A significant portion of the Company's revenue has been and is expected to
continue to be derived from a small number of customers. Accordingly, the loss
of any significant customer, delays in delivery or acceptance of any of the
Company's products or delays in the performance of services could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations. Historically, the Company has generally recognized both
license fees and service fee revenue under its customer contracts using the
percentage-of-completion method. The Company is broadening its strategy to
include the development and sale of its software products and third party
software products. To the extent that the Company is successful in doing so, the
Company expects that it may be able to record future revenue from license fees
upon the delivery of a software product to a customer. The Company's ability to
recognize revenue on software licenses as packaged software solutions at the
time of delivery depends on its ability to engage third parties to implement its
software and to separately license the software and separately sell
implementation services, as well as technical factors and customer expectations
and requirements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
achieve or maintain a sales model that allows the Company to record license fees
<PAGE>
when software products are delivered to customers. Furthermore,
software companies that account for revenue from license fees upon delivery of
software products may be exposed to increased risk of quarterly fluctuations.
To the extent that this pattern develops at the Company, any failure or delay in
the delivery of orders during any given quarter could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
The timing of revenue recognition from the Company's contracts has caused, and
may continue to cause, material fluctuations in the Company's operating results,
particularly on a quarterly basis.
The Company's expense levels are based in significant part on its
expectations regarding future revenue. The Company's revenue is difficult to
forecast because the market for the Company's products and services is rapidly
evolving, and the Company's sales cycle and the size and timing of significant
contracts vary substantially among customers. Accordingly, the Company may be
unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected
shortfall in revenue. Any significant shortfall from anticipated levels of
demand for the Company's products and services could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Based on all of the foregoing, the Company believes that future revenue,
expenses and operating results are likely to vary significantly from quarter to
quarter. As a result, quarter-to-quarter comparisons of operating results are
not necessarily meaningful or indicative of future performance. Furthermore,
the Company believes it is likely that in some future quarter the Company's
operating results will be below the expectations of public market analysts or
investors. In such event, or in the event that adverse conditions prevail, or
are perceived to prevail, with respect to the Company's business or generally,
the market price of the Company's Common Stock would likely be materially
adversely affected.
These results should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1999. Statements contained in this Form 10-Q
with respect to future revenue and expenses are "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Actual results may differ. Among the factors that could cause actual
results to differ are the following: (i) the Company's dependence on the rapidly
evolving telecommunications industry, (ii) delays in enforcement and
implementation of the Telecommunications Act of 1996; (iii) customer's
acceptance of Local Number Portability Products, (iv) delays associated with
customers' internal approval and contracting procedures, procurement practices,
and testing and acceptance process (v) changes in management; and (vi) rapid
technological change and intense competition in the Company's industry.
Year 2000 Capability
To date, the Company has not encountered any significant problems with
either the software sold to customers or to internal systems run by the Company.
The Company had developed a detailed contingency plan and worked closely with
customers and vendors to avoid Y2K problems. In 1999, expenses related to this
effort were approximately $1,000,000. The Company does not expect to encounter
any Y2K issues going forward and any additional resources needed to address Y2K
if any, are not expected to be material.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In June 1998, four securities class action complaints were filed against the
Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors in the
Federal Court for the District of Colorado alleging violations of the federal
securities laws. The complaints were consolidated. The plaintiffs purported to
represent a class of persons who purchased the Company's securities during the
period of May 12, 1998 through July 23, 1998. The complaints alleged that the
Company and certain of its officers misled the investing public regarding the
financial prospects of the Company. The Company denied these allegations. The
parties reached a settlement of $10 million, of which the Company paid $2.5
million in April 1999. The settlement was approved by the Court on October 4,
1999. The Company incurred approximately $719,000 in legal costs associated with
the lawsuit.
