PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary highlights information we present more fully
elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the
information you should consider before buying shares in the offering. You should
read the entire prospectus carefully.
COSINE COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
We develop, market and sell a communications platform designed to enable
network service providers to rapidly deliver computer applications and
communications services from within their networks.
Our communications platform is a combination of hardware and software that
uses IP, or internet protocol, and consists of three independent elements:
- IPSX 9000 processing switch;
- InVision service management system for network management; and
- InGage customer network management software.
Our IP service delivery platform is designed to allow simultaneous
delivery of applications and services to thousands of subscribers. It addresses
cost, management complexity and scalability issues of existing systems by moving
the implementation of network services from the customers' premises to the
service provider's facilities.
Our products are designed to offer customers potential benefits such as:
- fewer pieces of equipment;
- a centralized platform that allows automated delivery of services,
customer activation of services, centralized billing and fewer service
calls;
- enhanced reliability and ease of expansion;
- network management software that can be accessed securely through the
internet; and
- an architecture that supports network standards and permits the
implementation of third-party applications.
Our objective is to become the leading supplier of network systems
designed to enable the delivery of applications and services from within a
service provider's network.
We began shipping the IPSX 9000 and InVision in the first quarter of 2000,
and we have made InGage generally available in the third quarter of 2000.
Our customers potentially include traditional local, regional, national
and international communications carriers, IP carriers and internet service
providers, or ISPs. We have entered into contracts with Qwest Communications
Corporation, AduroNet Ltd., BroadBand Office, Inc., Nissho Electronics
Corporation, Internet Initiative Japan Inc., Telia TeleCom, Telenordia AB, and
American MetroComm Corporation. Qwest, AduroNet and Broadband Office have
received warrants to purchase CoSine stock, Nissho Electronics and Internet
Initiative Japan are investors in CoSine, and American MetroComm will receive a
warrant to purchase CoSine stock if it receives financing for the purchase of
the products it has ordered.
We ceased being a development stage company when we began shipping
products and recognizing revenue during the first quarter of 2000. We have
recognized substantially all of our revenue during the first six months of 2000
from sales to two customers. We anticipate that our IP service delivery
platform, which is our only product line, and related software applications will
constitute the majority of our future revenue.
We had an accumulated deficit of $104.2 million as of June 30, 2000 and
expect to continue to incur substantial operating losses in the future. At June
30, 2000, we had $88.8 million in cash and short-term investments.
Our principal executive offices are located at 3200 Bridge Parkway,
Redwood City, California 94065 and our telephone number is (650) 637-4777. We do
not intend for information contained on our website, www.cosinecom.com, to
constitute part of this prospectus. We were incorporated in the State of
California in April 1997. We reincorporated in the State of Delaware in August
2000.

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an
investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our
business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously
harmed. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, and
you may lose all or part of your investment.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES THAT WE EXPECT WILL CONTINUE, AND IF WE NEVER
ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY WE MAY CEASE OPERATIONS.
At June 30, 2000, we had an accumulated deficit of $104.2 million. We have
incurred net losses since our incorporation. We have only recently begun to
recognize revenue, and we cannot be certain that our revenue will grow or that
we will generate sufficient revenue to become profitable. If we do not achieve
profitability, we may cease operations.
We have incurred significant expenses in the past. For example, for the
six months ended June 30, 2000, we incurred research and development, sales and
marketing, and general and administrative expenses of $58.7 million. Although we
cannot quantify the amount, we expect expenses to continue to increase for the
balance of 2000 and to continue to incur losses.
THE LIMITED SALES HISTORY OF OUR IP SERVICE DELIVERY PLATFORM MAKES FORECASTING
OUR REVENUE DIFFICULT, WHICH MAY IMPAIR OUR ABILITY TO MANAGE OUR BUSINESS AND
YOUR ABILITY TO ASSESS OUR PROSPECTS.
We were founded in April 1997, shipped our first test IP service delivery
platform product in March 1999, and sold our first IP service delivery platform
product in March 2000. We have limited meaningful historical financial data upon
which to forecast our revenues and upon which you may evaluate us and our
prospects.
IF OUR CUSTOMERS ARE UNABLE TO GENERATE SALES OF SERVICES DELIVERED USING OUR
PRODUCTS AND TO MANAGE DELIVERY OF THESE SERVICES TO THEIR CUSTOMERS, WE MAY BE
UNABLE TO SELL OUR PRODUCTS.
Our future success depends on network service providers, which are our
customers, generating revenue from the sale of services delivered using our
products. Sales of our products may decline or be delayed if our customers do
not successfully introduce commercial services derived from our IP service
delivery platform or if our customers do not generate revenue from these
services sufficient to realize an attractive return on their investment in our
IP service delivery platform.
Our ability to generate future revenue also depends on whether network
service providers successfully:
- sell and deliver services using our IP service delivery platform to their
customers; and
- forecast market trends and identify the services and features that our
products should offer their customers.
IF OUR IP SERVICE DELIVERY PLATFORM DOES NOT RAPIDLY ACHIEVE MARKET ACCEPTANCE,
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY.
Our products offer a new approach for delivering services by network
service providers, which may perceive our products as being more expensive than
the other technologies and products they purchase. If network service providers
do not accept our IP service delivery platform as a method for delivering
services to their customers, our ability to increase our revenue, achieve
profitability and continue operations would be harmed. Our success also depends
on third-party software providers recognizing the advantages of our service
delivery method and on our ability to effectively support their software
development efforts.
OUR IP SERVICE DELIVERY PLATFORM IS OUR ONLY PRODUCT LINE, AND OUR FUTURE
REVENUE DEPENDS ON ITS COMMERCIAL SUCCESS.
Our IPSX 9000 and InVision products are the only products that have been
shipped
7
<PAGE> 9
to our customers. Our future revenue depends on the commercial success of our IP
service delivery platform product line. If customers do not adopt, purchase and
successfully implement our IP service delivery platform in large numbers, our
revenue will not grow.
OUR PRODUCTS ARE TECHNICALLY COMPLEX AND MAY CONTAIN ERRORS OR DEFECTS THAT ARE
NOT FOUND UNTIL OUR PRODUCTS ARE PUT TO FULL USE BY OUR CUSTOMERS. ERRORS OR
DEFECTS IN OUR PRODUCTS COULD SERIOUSLY HARM OUR REPUTATION AND OUR ABILITY TO
SELL OUR PRODUCTS.
Our products are more complicated than most networking products. They can
be adequately tested only when put to full use in very large and diverse
networks with high amounts of traffic. Because none of our customers has put our
products to full use, we are unable to assess the likelihood or magnitude of
this risk. Errors or defects in our products could result in:
- loss of current customers and failure to attract new customers or achieve
market acceptance; and
- increased service and warranty costs.
THE LONG SALES CYCLE FOR OUR PLATFORM, AS WELL AS THE EXPECTATION THAT CUSTOMERS
WILL SPORADICALLY PLACE LARGE ORDERS, MAY CAUSE OUR REVENUE AND OPERATING
RESULTS TO VARY SIGNIFICANTLY FROM QUARTER TO QUARTER, AND THE PRICE OF OUR
STOCK TO DECLINE.
A customer's decision to purchase our IP service delivery platform
involves a significant commitment of its resources and a lengthy evaluation,
testing and product qualification process. Network service providers and other
customers with complex networks usually expand their networks in large
increments on a periodic basis. We may receive purchase orders for significant
dollar amounts on an irregular and unpredictable basis. These events may cause
our revenue and operating results to vary significantly and unexpectedly from
quarter to quarter, which could cause our stock price to decline.
IF WE FAIL TO DEVELOP NEW PRODUCTS OR FEATURES, WE WILL HAVE DIFFICULTY
ATTRACTING CUSTOMERS.
Based on our prior experience, we expect that our customers will require
product features that our current IP service delivery platform does not have.
Our products are technically complex, and the development of new products or
features is an uncertain, time-consuming and labor intensive process. We may
experience design, manufacturing or marketing problems with new products. If we
fail to develop new or enhanced products that meet customer requirements, our
ability to attract and retain customers will be hindered.
WE RELY UPON A LIMITED NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS, AND ANY DECREASE IN REVENUE FROM
THESE CUSTOMERS OR FAILURE TO INCREASE OUR CUSTOMER BASE COULD HARM OUR
OPERATING RESULTS.
We have received substantially all of our revenue from two customers and
have received additional purchase orders from six other customers. Six of these
customers, directly or indirectly, hold or may be issued our equity securities.
The loss of one or more of our customers, a reduction in purchases of our
products by our customers or the decline of our customers' business may limit
our revenue growth and harm our operating results. We do not have long-term
contracts with our customers, and our customers may reduce or discontinue
purchases of our products at any time.
Our future success will depend on attracting additional customers. Failure
to increase our customer base would hinder our growth and harm our operating
results.
IF WE DO NOT EFFECTIVELY MANAGE OUR GROWTH, INTEGRATE NEWLY-HIRED KEY PERSONNEL
AND HIRE ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL, OUR OPERATIONS WILL SUFFER.
The growth of our operations places a significant strain on our management
systems and resources. If we do not effectively manage our growth and improve
our financial and managerial controls and systems, we may be unable to provide
adequate service and support to our customers and our
8
<PAGE> 10
operations will suffer. At December 31, 1999, we had 185 employees, and at
August 11, 2000, we had 428 employees. We plan to continue to hire a significant
number of employees this year, but we may be unable to hire and retain the kind
and number that we need.
We recently hired many of our key executives, including our chief
financial officer and other managerial personnel. These personnel have worked
together for only a short period of time and must learn our business while
performing their regular duties. Our operations could be disrupted if we do not
rapidly integrate these new key personnel.
A FAILURE OF OUR CONTRACT MANUFACTURERS OR OUR SOLE SOURCE AND LIMITED SOURCE
SUPPLIERS TO MEET OUR NEEDS WOULD SERIOUSLY HARM OUR ABILITY TO TIMELY FILL
CUSTOMER ORDERS.
We use three third-party contract manufacturers: Solectron, SMTC
Manufacturing and Sonic Manufacturing. If any of them terminates its
relationship with us or is unable to produce sufficient quantities of our
products in a timely manner and at satisfactory quality levels, our ability to
fill customer orders on time, our reputation and our operating results will
suffer. Our contract manufacturers do not have a long-term obligation to supply
products to us. Qualifying new contract manufacturers and starting volume
production is expensive and time consuming and would disrupt our business.
We currently purchase several key components, including field programmable
gate arrays, some integrated circuits and memory devices, and power supplies
from a single source or limited sources. We do not have long-term supply
contracts for these components. If our supply of these components is
interrupted, we may be unable to locate an alternate source in a timely manner
or at favorable prices. Interruption or delay in the supply of these components
could cause us to lose sales to existing and potential customers.
IF WE FAIL TO PREDICT OUR MANUFACTURING REQUIREMENTS ACCURATELY, WE COULD INCUR
ADDITIONAL COSTS OR MANUFACTURING DELAYS.
We provide forecasts of our demand to our contract manufacturers up to
twelve months before scheduled delivery of products to our customers. If we
overestimate our manufacturing requirements, our contract manufacturers may have
excess or obsolete inventory, which would harm our operating results if we were
required to purchase the excess or obsolete inventory. If we underestimate our
requirements, our contract manufacturers may have an inadequate inventory, which
could interrupt manufacturing of our products and result in delays in shipments
and revenue. If we do not accurately anticipate lead times for components, we
may experience component shortages.
IF NECESSARY LICENSES OF THIRD-PARTY TECHNOLOGY ARE TERMINATED OR BECOME
UNAVAILABLE OR TOO EXPENSIVE, OUR COMPETITIVE POSITION AND OUR PRODUCT OFFERING
WILL SUFFER.
We license from third-party suppliers several key software applications
incorporated in our IP service delivery platform, such as firewall software from
Network Associates, Inc. and database software from Oracle Corporation. We will
be required to license technology from other third-party suppliers to enable us
to develop new products or features. Our inability to renew or obtain any
third-party license that we need could require us to obtain substitute
technology of lower quality or at greater cost. Either of these outcomes could
seriously impair our ability to sell our products and harm our operating
results.

<PAGE> 11
RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY
WE PARTICIPATE IN SEVERAL HIGHLY COMPETITIVE MARKETS, AND OUR FAILURE TO COMPETE
SUCCESSFULLY WOULD LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO INCREASE OUR MARKET SHARE AND HARM OUR
BUSINESS.
Competition in the network infrastructure market is intense, and we expect
that competition in the market for IP networking services will also be intense.
If we are unable to compete effectively, our revenue and market share will be
reduced.
We face competition from:
- companies in the network infrastructure market, including Cisco Systems, Inc.,
Lucent Technologies, Inc., Nortel Networks Corporation, Alcatel, Ericsson
Business Networks AB and Siemens AG; and
- companies, including Cisco, that market products for installation on the
premises of network service providers' customers and which offer some services
that compete with the services delivered using our IP service delivery
platform.
We believe that there is likely to be consolidation in this industry. We
expect to face increased competition from larger companies with significantly
greater resources than we have.
Some of these larger competitors have pre-existing relationships involving
a range of product lines with the network service providers who are the
principal potential customers for our IP service delivery platform. These
competitors may offer vendor financing, which we do not offer, undercut our
prices or use their pre-existing relationships with our customers to induce them
not to use our IP service delivery platform.
IF ANY OF OUR SIGNIFICANT SUPPLIERS WERE TO TERMINATE THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
US OR COMPETE AGAINST US, OUR REVENUE AND MARKET SHARE WILL LIKELY BE REDUCED.
Many of our suppliers also have significant development and marketing
relationships with our competitors and have significantly greater financial and
marketing resources than we do. If they develop and market products in the
future in competition with us, or form or strengthen arrangements with our
competitors, our revenue and market share will likely be reduced.
IF WE BECOME SUBJECT TO UNFAIR HIRING CLAIMS, WE COULD BE PREVENTED FROM HIRING
NEEDED PERSONNEL, OR FROM PURSUING OR IMPLEMENTING OUR RESEARCH, AND COULD INCUR
SUBSTANTIAL LIABILITIES OR COSTS.
Companies in our industry whose employees accept positions with
competitors frequently claim that these competitors have engaged in unfair
hiring practices or that the employment of these persons would involve the
disclosure or use of trade secrets. In June 2000, Ericsson Inc. filed a
complaint against us, which they subsequently agreed to withdraw, alleging that
we misappropriated trade secrets known to several employees who recently joined
us from Ericsson. We have been threatened with claims like this in the past and
may receive claims of this kind in the future. These claims could prevent us
from hiring personnel or from using the intellectual property alleged to be
trade secrets brought to us by the personnel that we hired. We could also incur
substantial costs and damages in defending ourselves or our employees against
these claims, regardless of their merits. Defending ourselves from these claims
could divert the attention of our management away from our operations.
IF OUR PRODUCTS DO NOT WORK THE WAY OUR CUSTOMERS EXPECT, ORDERS FOR OUR
PRODUCTS MAY BE CANCELLED AND THE MARKET PERCEPTION OF OUR PRODUCTS COULD BE
HARMED.
If our products do not work with our customers' or their end users'
networks, the market perception of our products could be harmed and orders for
our products could be cancelled. In particular, if an actual or perceived breach
of network security occurs in a customer's or its end-user's network that uses
our products, we may be subject to lawsuits for losses suffered by customers or
their end-users.
10
<PAGE> 12
If we have to redesign or modify our products to make them compatible with
a customer's or end user's network, our sales cycle could be extended, our
research and development expenses may increase, and profit margins on our
products may be reduced.
BECAUSE THE MARKETS IN WHICH WE COMPETE ARE PRONE TO RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE
AND THE ADOPTION OF STANDARDS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE THAT WE USE, OUR PRODUCTS
COULD BECOME OBSOLETE, AND WE COULD BE REQUIRED TO INCUR SUBSTANTIAL EXPENSES TO
MODIFY OUR PRODUCTS TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE.
The market for our IP service delivery platform is prone to rapid
technological change, the adoption of new standards, frequent new product
introductions and changes in customer and end user requirements. We may be
unable to respond quickly or effectively to these developments. We may
experience difficulties that could prevent our development of new products and
features. The introduction of new products or technologies by competitors, or
the emergence of new industry standards could render our products obsolete or
could require us to incur expenses to redesign our products.
WE RELY ON OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS TO BE COMPETITIVE, AND IF WE ARE
UNABLE TO PROTECT THESE RIGHTS, WE MAY NEVER BECOME PROFITABLE.
We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and
restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights.
Monitoring unauthorized use of our products is difficult, and we cannot be
certain that the steps we have taken will prevent unauthorized use of our
technology. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, our
ability to supply our products as they have been designed could suffer, and our
ability to become profitable could be harmed.
IF WE BECOME INVOLVED IN AN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY DISPUTE, WE COULD BE SUBJECT
TO SIGNIFICANT LIABILITY, THE TIME AND ATTENTION OF OUR MANAGEMENT COULD BE
DIVERTED AND WE COULD BE PREVENTED FROM SELLING OUR PRODUCTS.
We may become a party to litigation in the future to protect our
intellectual property or because others may allege infringement of their
intellectual property. These claims and any resulting lawsuit could subject us
to significant liability for damages and invalidate our proprietary rights.
These lawsuits, regardless of their merits, likely would be time-consuming and
expensive to resolve and would divert management time and attention. Any
potential intellectual property litigation alleging our infringement of a
third-party's intellectual property also could force us to do one or more of the
following:
- stop selling our products or services that use the challenged intellectual
property;
- obtain from the owner of the infringed intellectual property right a license
to sell the relevant technology, which license may not be available on
reasonable terms, or at all; or
- redesign those products or services that use the infringed technology.
WE HAVE LIMITED EXPERIENCE MARKETING AND SELLING OUR PRODUCTS INTERNATIONALLY.
WE INTEND TO EXPAND OUR OPERATIONS INTERNATIONALLY, AND OUR OPERATING RESULTS
WILL SUFFER IF WE DO NOT GENERATE REVENUE FROM INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS THAT
EXCEEDS THE COST OF ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING THE OPERATIONS.
We intend to enter new markets in Europe and Asia. We have limited
experience in marketing and distributing our products internationally and may be
unable to develop international market demand for our products. If we are unable
to generate revenue from international operations that exceed the cost of
establishing and maintaining these operations, our operating results will
suffer.
11
<PAGE> 13
The success of our international operations may be affected by:
- our ability to establish relationships with international distributors who can
effectively market and support our products; and
- difficulties inherent in developing versions of our products that comply with
local standards or regulatory requirements.
RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING
INSIDERS WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE SUBSTANTIAL CONTROL OVER US AFTER THIS OFFERING,
AND THEY COULD DELAY OR PREVENT A CHANGE IN OUR CORPORATE CONTROL EVEN IF OUR
OTHER STOCKHOLDERS WANTED IT TO OCCUR.
Upon completion of this offering, our executive officers, directors and
principal stockholders who hold 5% or more of the outstanding common stock and
their affiliates will beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 23.60%
of our outstanding common stock. These stockholders will be able to exercise
significant control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including
the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions.
This could delay or prevent an outside party from acquiring or merging with us
even if our other stockholders wanted it to occur.
THE SUBSTANTIAL MAJORITY OF OUR 100,079,828 SHARES TO BE OUTSTANDING AFTER THE
OFFERING WILL BE EITHER FREELY TRADEABLE UPON CONSUMMATION OF THE OFFERING OR
SALEABLE UPON EXPIRATION OF THE LOCK-UP AGREEMENTS COVERING THESE SHARES. THIS
COULD CAUSE THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DROP SIGNIFICANTLY,
REGARDLESS OF THE PERFORMANCE OF OUR BUSINESS.
After this offering, we will have outstanding 100,079,828 shares of common
stock. This includes the shares we are selling in this offering, which may be
resold in the public market immediately. Stockholders holding an aggregate of
89,854,508 of these securities have entered into to lock-up agreements with the
underwriters. Approximately 15% of these shares may be released from the lock-up
and sold into the market as early as 2 days after our fourth quarter operating
results are released, and approximately 25% of these shares may be released from
the lock-up and sold into the market as early as 30 days after our fourth
quarter operating results are released, and the remaining shares subject to the
lock-up agreement with the underwriters will be eligible for sale into the
market 180 days after the date of this prospectus. In addition, Goldman, Sachs &
Co. can waive the restrictions of these lock-up agreements at an earlier time
without prior notice or announcement and allow stockholders to sell their
shares. Stockholders holding an aggregate of 211,103 shares are subject to
lock-up agreements they have entered into with us, but are not subject to a
lock-up arrangement with the underwriters. We have agreed with the underwriters
that these 211,103 shares will not be eligible for sale until 180 days after the
date of this prospectus, without the prior written consent of the underwriters.
However, our agreement with the holders of these shares is not as restrictive as
the agreement the stockholders have entered into with the underwriters. For
example, our agreement with the holders of these 211,103 shares does not
prohibit certain types of hedging transactions.
The market price of our common stock could drop significantly if the
holders of these shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to
sell them.

YOU SHOULD NOT RELY ON FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS BECAUSE THEY ARE INHERENTLY
UNCERTAIN
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. We use words such as anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future,
intend and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Our
actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these
forward-looking statements because of any of the risks to our business described
in this prospectus. You should not unduly rely on these forward-looking
statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus.

<PAGE> 15
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds from the sale of the 10,000,000 shares of common stock
offered by us are estimated to be $145.8 million, or $168.1 million if the
underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares in the
offering. These estimates are calculated based on an assumed initial public
offering price of $16.00 per share and after deducting an assumed underwriting
discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
The principal purposes of this offering are to:
- increase our working capital;
- create a public market for our common stock;
- facilitate our future access to public equity markets; and
- provide us with increased visibility and credibility.
We have no specific plans for the use of the net proceeds of this
offering. We intend to use the net proceeds primarily for general corporate
purposes, including working capital, expansion of our sales and marketing
organization and capital expenditures.
We may, when and if the opportunity arises, use a portion of the net
proceeds to acquire complementary products, technologies or businesses. Until we
use the net proceeds of this offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds in
interest-bearing, investment-grade securities.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We
currently expect to retain future earnings, if any, for use in the operation and
expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends. Our
lease lines and bank lines of credit prohibit the payment of dividends without
prior approval.

ADDITIONAL SHARE INFORMATION
The number of outstanding shares excludes:
- 9,860,629 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options at June
30, 2000, with a weighted average exercise price of $4.18 per share;
- an additional 4,748,587 shares reserved for future issuance under our 1997
stock plan at June 30, 2000, including the options for 2,544,200 shares of
common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options granted subsequent to
June 30, 2000, with a weighted average exercise price of $10.55 per share;
- an additional 5,400,000 shares reserved for issuance under our 2000 stock
plan, director option plan and employee stock purchase plan; and
- 895,915 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants outstanding
at June 30, 2000 at a weighted average exercise price of $2.60 per share,
which are not automatically exercisable before or upon the closing of this
offering.

DILUTION
If you invest in our common stock, your interest per share will be diluted
by an amount equal to the difference between the initial public offering price
per share of our common stock and the pro forma net tangible book value per
share of our common stock after this offering. We calculate net tangible book
value per share by dividing the net tangible book value, or total assets less
intangible assets and total liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares of
common stock.
PRO FORMA NET TANGIBLE BOOK VALUE
Our pro forma net tangible book value per share is based on 90,079,828
shares outstanding at June 30, 2000, after reflecting:
- the assumed exercise of warrants that are automatically exercisable before or
upon the closing of this offering; and
- automatic conversion into common stock of our outstanding preferred stock.
DILUTION AFTER THIS OFFERING
After reflecting the sale of the 10,000,000 shares of common stock at an
assumed initial public offering price of $16.00 per share less an assumed
underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro
forma net tangible book value at June 30, 2000 would be $253.6 million, or $2.53
per share. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book
value of $1.33 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in
pro forma net tangible book value of $13.47 per share to new investors, or
approximately 84% of the assumed initial public offering price of $16.00 per
share.
The table below illustrates this per share dilution:

The discussion and table above are based on the number of outstanding
shares of our common stock after this offering, which excludes:
- 9,860,629 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options as
of June 30, 2000, with a weighted average exercise price of $4.18 per
share;
- an additional 4,748,587 shares reserved for future issuance under our
1997 stock plan at June 30, 2000, including the options for 2,544,200
shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options granted
subsequent to June 30, 2000, with a weighted average exercise price of

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
From our incorporation on April 14, 1997 through June 30, 2000, our
operating activities were primarily devoted to increasing our research and
development capabilities, designing our hardware, developing our software and
testing our products. In March 2000, after extensive field testing of our IP
service delivery platform, we began shipping to our first customers. We market
our products through our direct sales force to service providers in Asia, North
America and Europe. We provide customer service and support for our products.
REVENUE. Substantially all of our revenue has been derived from sales of
the IPSX 9000 product and InVision service management software. Substantially
all of our revenue has been generated from two customers. We expect that the
majority of our future revenue will continue to come from sales of our IP
service delivery platform and related software applications to a small number of
customers. We expect to receive a substantial portion of our revenue from these
initial customers until we can sufficiently penetrate additional accounts.
Because the market for our IP service delivery platform is new and
evolving, the volume and timing of orders are difficult to predict. A customer's
decision to purchase our platform typically involves a significant commitment of
its resources and a lengthy evaluation, testing and product qualification
process. Long sales and implementation cycles for our platform, as well as the
expectation that customers will tend to sporadically place large orders with
short lead times, may cause our revenue and operating results to vary
significantly and unexpectedly from quarter to quarter.
The standard payment terms offered to our customers are net 30 days. In
the case of our first two customers, Qwest and AduroNet, the payment terms were
negotiated to be net 45 days.
REVENUE RECOGNITION. We generally recognize product revenue at the time of
shipment, assuming that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales
price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable, unless we have
future obligations for installation or have to obtain customer acceptance, in
which case we defer recognizing revenue until these obligations are met.
Our product incorporates software that is not incidental to the related
hardware, and accordingly, we recognize revenue as indicated above, which
complies with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement
of Position 97-2 "Software Revenue Recognition". For arrangements that include
the delivery of multiple products, the revenue is allocated to the various
products based on vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value, or VSOE. We
establish VSOE based on either the price charged for the product when the same
product is sold separately, or for products not yet sold separately, VSOE is
based on the prices established for such products by management with the
relevant authority to do so. In establishing VSOE for products not yet sold
separately, we believe that the price of these products likely will not change
before they are sold separately in the marketplace. Revenue from post-contract
support obligations for specified future periods is deferred and recognized on a
straight-line basis over the service period. Revenue from consulting services is
recognized as the services are provided. Amounts billed in excess of revenue
recognized are included as deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets.
At June 30, 2000, a total of $6.3 million of revenue was deferred. We
expect that this deferred revenue will be recognized in 2000 and 2001. Our
initial customer was provided limited price protection rights which expire in
October 2000. We believe that the likelihood
21
<PAGE> 23
of a price adjustment is remote, primarily because:
- our products are technologically advanced and are of a unique design;
- we expect our products to have long sales and deployment cycles; and
- the length of time until the price protection rights expire is short compared
to these lengthy sales and deployment cycles.
We reserve for warranty costs based on our experience in the networking
industry.
NON-CASH CHARGES RELATED TO EQUITY ISSUANCES. Non-cash charges related to
equity issuances significantly affect our reporting of revenue, cost of goods
sold and operating expense. The non-cash charges relate to warrants granted to
customers and suppliers in exchange for services, stock options granted to
employees and consultants and stock granted in lieu of cash compensation to
suppliers.
REVENUES
Our reporting of revenue is affected significantly by warrants issued to
our initial customers, including Qwest, AduroNet and Broadband Office. These
warrants were issued upon receipt of substantial purchase orders which were
preceded by a period of cooperation with us in the marketing, development and
refinement of our products.
We have issued the following warrants to customers:
- A warrant exercisable for 1,233,499 shares of our Series C preferred stock at
an exercise price of $0.81 per share issued to Qwest upon receipt of a
purchase order from Qwest for $18.3 million of our products and services;
- A warrant exercisable for 200,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise
price of $4.00 per share issued to AduroNet upon receipt of a purchase order
from AduroNet for $20.7 million of our products and services; and
- A warrant exercisable for 468,849 shares of our common stock at an exercise
price of $3.73 per share issued to BroadBand Office upon receipt of a purchase
order from BroadBand Office for $20.0 million of our products and services.
We calculate the fair value of these customer-related warrants to be $16.2
million ($10.3 million in the case of Qwest, $1.8 million in the case of
AduroNet, and $4.1 million in the case of BroadBand Office). These values were
calculated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, using volatility of 0.6,
a risk-free interest rate of 5% and an expected life of 4 years. Of this amount,
$3.7 million ($3.2 million related to Qwest and $0.5 million related to
AduroNet) was recognized as an offset to gross revenue during the six months
ended June 30, 2000. The remaining $12.5 million will be amortized in future
periods as an offset to gross revenue to the extent of and as the revenue
associated with these customers' orders is recognized.
COST OF SALES AND OPERATING EXPENSES
Our reporting of cost of sales and operating expenses is also affected
significantly by charges related to warrants and options issued for services,
which are shown on the statement of operations under the appropriate line items.
On the balance sheet, deferred compensation is presented as a reduction of
stockholders' equity and is amortized over the vesting period of the applicable
options using the graded vesting method. We accrued deferred compensation of
$34.0 million during 1999 and $55.5 million during the six months ended June 30,
2000, in connection with stock options granted to employees, representing the
difference between the fair values of the common stock, as reevaluated after our
initial offering process began, and the exercise price of these options at the
date of grant. We expect that we will accrue deferred compensation of $12.3
million in periods subsequent to June 30, 2000, as a result of 2,544,200 options
issued to employees since that date.
We amortized $3.6 million of deferred compensation during 1999 and $19.8
million of deferred compensation during the six months ended June 30, 2000.
Based on options granted through June 30, 2000, we expect to amortize additional
deferred compensation of $24.8 million during the
22
<PAGE> 24
remainder of 2000 using the accelerated method.
We incurred $0.2 million, $0.9 million, and $0.9 million of non-cash
charges in 1998, 1999, and during the six months ended June 30, 2000,
respectively, in connection with stock, warrants and stock options granted to
suppliers and nonemployees in lieu of cash compensation.
In connection with consulting services, we have issued warrants to
purchase 43,067 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share.
The warrants have a variable measurement date and accordingly the unvested
portions are revalued at each balance sheet date. The fair value of the warrants
is being amortized over the expected life of the warrants and is charged to
sales and marketing. We have also issued 640,979 options to nonemployees for
services provided to CoSine. The fair value of these options, of which the
unvested portions are periodically remeasured using the Black-Scholes model, is
being amortized over the related service period and is charged to research and
development expense.
COST OF GOODS SOLD. Cost of goods sold includes all costs of producing our
products, including the cost of outsourced manufacturing, software royalties,
warranties, related manufacturing overhead costs, as well as costs of providing
our service offerings, including personnel engaged in providing maintenance and
consulting to our customers. We have also incurred non-cash charges arising from
equity issuances as discussed above. We have outsourced the majority of our
manufacturing, repair and supply chain management operations. A significant
portion of our cost of goods sold consists of payments to Solectron, SMTC
Manufacturing, and Sonic Manufacturing, our contract manufacturers. We conduct
manufacturing engineering, final assembly, configuration testing and
documentation control at our facility in Redwood City, California.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses
consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs, fees paid to
contractors and outside service providers, laboratory equipment and prototype
costs related to the design, development and testing of our products. We have
also incurred non-cash charges arising from the issuance of stock options to
purchase common stock to members of our technical advisory boards and
consultants. We expense our research and development costs as they are incurred.
Several components of our research and development effort require significant
expenditures, the timing of which can cause significant quarterly variability in
our expenses. The number of prototypes required to build and test a complex
product such as the IP service delivery platform is large, and this building and
testing process occurs over a short period of time.
We are devoting substantial resources to the continued development and
enhancement of our products. We believe that our research and development is
critical to our strategic product development objectives and that to take
advantage of our technology and meet the changing requirements of our customers,
we will need to fund several development projects simultaneously. Because of
these needs we expect that research and development expenses, excluding non-cash
charges resulting from the issuance of stock options to employees, will increase
in absolute dollars in the future.
SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES. Sales and marketing expenses consist
primarily of salaries and related expenses for personnel engaged in marketing,
sales and customer evaluations, as well as the costs of customer evaluation
units and other promotional and marketing expenses. The complexity of our IP
service delivery platform and the networks in which it is installed and
integrated require highly trained systems engineers and service and support
personnel. We have also incurred non-cash charges arising from equity issuances
as discussed above.
We expect to hire additional systems engineers and to expand our customer
support organization to organize and administer the increasing number of
customer evaluations and trials. We expect that sales and marketing expenses,
excluding non-cash charges resulting from the issuance of stock
23
<PAGE> 25
options to employees, will increase substantially in absolute dollars as we hire
additional sales and marketing personnel, initiate additional marketing programs
to support the IP service delivery platform, establish additional sales offices
and expand existing direct sales offices in the United States and abroad, and
engage in more customer evaluations and trials.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses
consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for executive, business
development, finance and accounting and human resources personnel as well as
other corporate expenses, including non-cash charges resulting from the issuance
of stock options to employees. We expect general and administrative expenses,
excluding stock-based compensation, to increase in absolute dollars as we add
personnel and incur additional costs related to the growth of our business and
our operation as a public company. We have also incurred non-cash charges
arising from equity issuances as discussed above.
NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYFORWARDS. At December 31, 1999, we had $25.6
million of federal net operating loss carryforwards and $28.9 million of state
net operating loss carryforwards for tax reporting purposes available to offset
future taxable income. These net operating loss carryforwards expire at various
dates beginning 2005 if they are not used. We have not recognized any benefit
from the future use of net operating loss carryforwards for these periods, or
for any other periods, since our incorporation. We are not recognizing the
potential tax benefits of our net operating loss carryforwards because we do not
have sufficient evidence that we will generate adequate profits to use them.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999
REVENUE. From inception through the year ended December 31, 1999, we were
a development stage company and had no revenue. Revenue for the six months ended
June 30, 2000, was $11.3 million, of which:
- $9.8 million was from hardware sales;
- $1.4 million was from software sales; and
- $0.1 million was from services.
During the six-months ended June 30, 2000, we recognized, as an offset to
gross revenue, approximately $3.7 million of non-cash charges related to
warrants issued to our initial customers upon receipt of substantial purchase
orders from those customers.
During the six months ended June 30, 2000, we also deferred recognizing
$6.3 million of revenue from hardware and software sales from contracts that
allow for immediate invoicing but provide for subsequent customer acceptance,
consulting services and post-contract support services. We will recognize this
deferred revenue in future periods in accordance with the revenue recognition
policy discussed above.
COST OF SALES. Cost of Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2000, was
$7.3 million, of which:
- $4.8 million represented materials, labor and production overhead;
- $1.5 million represented warranty costs; and
- $0.9 million represented amortization of deferred compensation on stock
options granted to employees in manufacturing operations.
We expect warranty costs to decline as a percentage of revenue over the
next two years. In addition, we anticipate our cost of sales increasing in
future periods as our revenues increase.
GROSS MARGIN. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, gross margin was
$0.3 million. We expect our gross margin to increase in future periods as we
achieve economies of scale, and because we do not expect to distribute warrants
to future customers for technical, marketing and market-related product
development services. Gross margins are highly variable and dependent on many
factors, some of which
24
<PAGE> 26
are outside our control, such as the demand for our products and the mix of
products sold.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses were
$34.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of $22.6
million or 197% over the comparable period in 1999. The increase resulted from:
- amortization of $10.0 million of non-cash charges resulting from the issuance
of stock options to employees and consultants;
- $6.1 million of expenses for additional research and development personnel;
- $1.9 million of prototype development expenses;
- $1.8 million of facilities costs;
- $1.7 million of information technology costs; and
- $1.1 million of equipment and software depreciation.
SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES. Sales and marketing expenses were $16.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of $14.5 million
over the comparable period in 1999. The increase resulted from:
- $5.0 million of expenses for additional sales and marketing personnel;
- $4.6 million of amortization of non-cash charges resulting from the issuance
of stock options to employees and consultants;
- $1.6 million of travel, lodging and other travel related expenses;
- $1.0 million of marketing and advertising programs and public relations
events;
- $1.0 million in infrastructure and depreciation costs;
- $0.8 million in expenses related to evaluation units; and
- $0.5 million in rent expense and other facilities costs.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses
were $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of $6.4
million over the comparable period in 1999. The increase resulted from:
- $4.5 million of amortization of non-cash charges resulting from the issuance
of stock options to employees and consultants;
- $1.9 million of expenses for additional general and administrative personnel,
facilities and professional services.
INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME. Interest and other income was $2.1 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of $1.8 million over the
comparable period in 1999. The increase was due to larger cash balances
available for investing resulting from sales of preferred stock in prior
periods.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense was $0.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2000, an increase of $0.6 million over the comparable period in
1999. The increase resulted from an increase in equipment loans and an increase
in interest expense resulting from the issuance of warrants to holders of bridge
loans.
DEEMED DIVIDEND. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, we sold
625,000 shares of series D redeemable convertible preferred stock at $8.00 per
share for which we received proceeds of approximately $5.0 million. At the date
of issuance, we believed that the per share price of $8.00 represented the fair
value of the preferred stock. After our initial public offering process began,
we reevaluated and increased the fair value of our common stock at March 2000.
The increase in fair value has resulted in a beneficial conversion feature of
$2.5 million, which has been recorded as a deemed dividend to preferred
stockholders in 2000. We recorded the deemed dividend at the date of issuance by
offsetting charges and credits to stockholders' equity. The preferred stock
dividend increased the net loss allocable to common stockholders in the
calculation of basic and diluted net loss per common share for the six months
ended June 30, 2000.
25
<PAGE> 27
Our order backlog as of June 30, 2000, based on orders and billings, was
$49.8 million. Our first order was in January 2000. Accordingly, we did not have
a backlog at June 30, 1999.
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses were
$27.3 million in 1999, an increase of $20.0 million compared to 1998. The
increase resulted from:
- $9.9 million of expenses for additional research and development personnel;
- $3.0 million of prototype development expenses;
- $2.8 million of outside engineering services and other;
- $2.2 million of amortization for non-cash charges resulting from the issuance
of stock options to employees and consultants;
- $1.1 million of facilities costs; and
- $1.0 million of equipment depreciation.
SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES. Sales and marketing expenses were $6.1
million in 1999, an increase of $5.5 million compared to 1998. The increase
resulted from:
- $2.4 million of expenses for additional sales and marketing personnel;
- $1.5 million of amortization of non-cash charges resulting from the issuance
of stock options to employees and consultants;
- $1.0 million for marketing programs and public relations events and other; and
- $0.6 million for travel.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses
were $5.0 million in 1999, an increase of $3.9 million compared to 1998. The
increase resulted from:
- $1.8 million of expenses for additional general and administrative personnel;
- $0.8 million in outside legal and accounting costs and other;
- $0.7 million of amortization for non-cash charges resulting from the issuance
of stock options to employees and consultants; and
- $0.6 million of accounting, customer management and manufacturing software
installation cost.
INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME. Interest and other income was $1.3 million in
1999, an increase of $1.2 million compared to 1998. The increase was due to
larger cash balances available for investing resulting from the proceeds of the
issuance of preferred stock.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense was $0.6 million in 1999, an increase
of $0.3 million compared to 1998. The increase resulted from an increase in
equipment loans, which was partially offset by a decrease in the interest
expense resulting from the issuance of warrants to the holders of bridge loans.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
From incorporation through June 30, 2000, we have financed our operations
primarily through the sale of convertible preferred stock for net proceeds of
$164.1 million, plus equipment and working capital loans.
CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS. At June 30, 2000, cash,
cash equivalents and short-term investments were $88.8 million. This compares
with $54.6 million at December 31, 1999. The increase from December 31, 1999
resulted from sales of our series E convertible preferred stock in May 2000.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $6.6 million at December
31, 1998. Most of the increase at December 31, 1999 resulted from the receipt of
$79.2 million from sales of preferred stock in March, September and October
1999.
OPERATING ACTIVITIES. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, we used
$34.5 million in cash for operations, an increase of $22.8 million from the
$11.7 million used in the
26
<PAGE> 28
comparable period in 1999. The increase resulted from the increase in our net
loss from $15.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $57.0 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2000, offset, in part, by $24.4 million
increase in non-cash expense from the issuance of warrants and options and
amortization of deferred stock compensation. In 1999, we used $30.8 million in
cash for operations, an increase of $25.5 million from the $5.3 million used in
1998. The increase resulted from an increase in our net loss from $9.3 million
in 1998 to $37.7 million in 1999.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, we used
$23.0 million in cash for investing activities, an increase of $20.7 million
from the $2.3 million used in the comparable period in 1999. The increase
resulted from proceeds of $30.2 million from the sale and maturity of short-term
investments during the six months ended June 30, 2000, offset, in part, by $13.4
million of capital equipment purchases and the purchase of $39.8 million of
short-term investments. In 1999, we used $41.3 million in cash for investing
activities, an increase of $38.3 million from $3.0 million used in 1998. The
increase resulted from investments of $34.5 million in short-term securities and
the purchase of $6.8 million of capital equipment in 1999, most of which was
financed through equipment loans.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, we generated
$82.1 million in cash from financing activities, an increase of $57.8 million
from the $24.3 million generated in the comparable period in 1999. The majority
of the increase resulted from proceeds of $75.0 million from the issuance of
convertible preferred stock and $7.1 million in proceeds from equipment and
working capital loans during the six months ended June 30, 2000, offset, in
part, by $1.4 million in principal payments of equipment and working capital
loans. In 1999, we generated $85.6 million in cash from financing activities, an
increase of $72.0 million from the $13.6 million generated in 1998. The increase
resulted from the issuance of convertible preferred stock in 1999. We have used
equipment loans to partially finance capital equipment purchases.
USE OF CAPITAL RESOURCES. We expect to devote substantial capital
resources to continue our research and development efforts, to hire and expand
sales, customer service and support and marketing organizations, to increase our
marketing programs and to expand our general corporate support activities. We
believe that the net proceeds from this offering plus our existing cash balances
and equipment loans will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital
requirements through the next 12 months. Our capital requirements during 2000
and for the long term will depend on numerous factors, including market
acceptance of our products, the resources we devote to developing, marketing,
selling and supporting our products, and the timing and extent of establishing
international operations. Our capital commitments were approximately $1.0
million at December 31, 1999 and approximately $3.8 million at June 30, 2000.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, or
AICPA, issued Statement of Position No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use". SOP No. 98-1 requires
entities to capitalize some costs related to internal-use software once some
criteria have been met. We expect that the adoption of SOP No. 98-1 will not
have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. We
adopted SOP No. 98-1 effective January 1, 1999.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". FAS No. 133
establishes accounting methods for derivative financial instruments and hedging
activities related to those instruments, as well as other hedging activities.
Because we do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in hedging
activities, we expect that the adoption of FAS No. 133 will not have a material
impact on our financial position or
27
<PAGE> 29
results of operations. We adopted FAS No. 133 effective January 1, 1999.
In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,
"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements". This bulletin summarizes some of
the SEC's views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue
recognition in financial statements. We believe that our revenue recognition
policy complies with the bulletin at June 30, 2000.
In March 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue
00-2, "Accounting for the Costs of Developing a Web Site". In general, EITF 00-2
states that the costs of developing a web site should be accounted for under
provisions of Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use". Although we intend to comply
with EITF 00-2, the adoption of EITF 00-2 will not have a significant impact on
our financial position, results of operations or cash flows because although we
maintain a web site, it is not a significant focus of our business. EITF 00-2 is
effective for costs incurred after June 30, 2000.
In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation No. 44 "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensation". FIN 44 provides guidance for issues arising in the application of
APB Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". We believe that
our accounting policy for stock issued to employees complies with FIN 44 at June
30, 2000.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
Our exposure to market risks from changes in interest rates relates
primarily to corporate debt securities. We place our investments with high
credit quality issuers and, by policy, limit the amount of the credit exposure
to any one issuer.
Our general policy is to limit the risk of principal loss and ensure the
safety of invested funds by limiting market and credit risk. All highly liquid
investments with a maturity of less than three months at the date of purchase
are considered to be cash equivalents, and all investments with maturities of
three months or greater are classified as available-for-sale and considered to
be short-term investments.
The following table presents the amounts of our cash equivalents and
short-term investments that are subject to market risk by range of expected
maturity and weighted average interest rates at December 31, 1999. This table
does not include money market funds because those funds are not subject to
market risk.

EXCHANGE RATE SENSITIVITY
We operate primarily in the United States. All of our sales have been made
in U.S. dollars; however, a small portion of our operational expenses have not
been denominated in U.S. dollars. The effect of changes in foreign currency
exchange rates on operating expenses has not been material. In the future, we
intend to transact business in various foreign currencies and will be subject to
exposure from adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. We intend to
assess the need to use financial instruments to hedge currency exposures on an
ongoing basis.
We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative trading
purposes.

BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
We develop, market and sell a communications platform designed to enable
network service providers to rapidly deliver computer applications and
communications services from within their networks. Examples include:
- virtual private networks, which are secure private networks that run on the
internet and other communications networks;
- firewalls, which are security programs designed to prevent unwanted network
traffic; and
- secure broadband access, which is secure high-speed access to the internet and
other communications networks.
Our IP service delivery platform consists of three independent elements:
our IPSX 9000 processing switch, InVision service management system for network
management and InGage customer network management software.
Our platform is designed to:
- allow delivery of applications and services simultaneously to thousands of
subscribers;
- help address the cost, management complexity and scalability issues of service
delivery; and
- reduce the need for equipment on a customer's premises to provide these
applications and services.
INDUSTRY BACKGROUND
Data networks, including the internet, have rapidly evolved to become
critical for the communications needs of many businesses and consumers. The
explosive growth in the number of users and applications has created an enormous
need for communications bandwidth. Numerous service providers have emerged to
offer high-speed connectivity services to businesses and consumers. These
service providers are building high-capacity networks using the latest broadband
access, switching and routing products from both traditional and emerging
communications equipment vendors.
As new entrants in the service provider market emerge, the delivery of
high-speed connectivity is becoming intensely competitive. This competition is
making it difficult for service providers to differentiate their service
offerings on price alone.
As businesses have become more dependent on the internet and other data
networks, they are increasingly seeking other communications services in
addition to high-speed connectivity. To enable these services, a secure and
reliable networking environment is required. The internet, however, suffers from
an inherent lack of security and dependability, which businesses have struggled
to overcome by using technologies installed on customer premises equipment, or
CPE. These technologies include firewalls, computer virus detection, intrusion
detection, which is the detection of unauthorized network access, and
encryption, which is the coding of data for security purposes. Businesses use
additional CPE as more services are needed. This equipment can be costly to
install and maintain, requiring large numbers of expensive networking personnel
to manage. We believe that most businesses will have difficulty implementing
these new technologies and that many businesses will increasingly seek to
outsource these activities.
Network service providers have begun to provide management of CPE to
address this demand and achieve three important business objectives:
- attracting subscribers through differentiated services that can be layered on
top of basic high-speed connectivity services;
- increasing revenue from business subscribers who are demanding additional
services; and
- reducing subscriber turnover, because customers must consider the total cost
of replacing multiple services and to evaluate the risk of moving critical
business services to a new service provider.
29
<PAGE> 31
Although network service providers have started to offer additional
services through the CPE-based approach, this approach is subject to a number of
limitations.
THE PROBLEMS OF A CPE-BASED APPROACH
The following diagram illustrates a typical CPE-based model for a single
corporate customer linked by encrypted connections dedicated to individual
sites:
[DIAGRAM]
This diagram contains 9 building icons laid out in a circle. The icons represent
customer sites, and they are connected to each other by lines representing
CPE-based encrypted connections, which means customer premises equipment that
includes coded data for security purposes.
Each customer site requires multiple pieces of on-site equipment provided
by numerous vendors. This equipment enables various functions, including
routing, firewall protection and detection of unauthorized intrusion.
We believe that the CPE-based model creates the following challenges that
constrain the delivery of services for both network service providers as well as
their customers.
HIGH COST TO INSTALL AND MANAGE. Installing and managing equipment located
at dispersed customer sites can result in high costs for both service providers
and their customers. Each new customer site or service requires new CPE, or the
modification of existing CPE, as well as on-site service calls. This approach is
costly and time consuming and often leads to delays in establishing service.
Both service providers and their subscribers can incur significant maintenance
and monitoring expenses for the CPE and for expensive personnel needed to manage
these complex networks.
DIFFICULT TO EXPAND. We believe that the CPE-based service delivery model
is difficult to expand because on-site installation is required for each new
site or service. Implementation challenges increase significantly as new
services and devices are added, since each new network site must be connected to
all existing network sites.
LIMITED NETWORK SERVICES. In a CPE-based model, a subscriber's data is
typically encrypted before entering the service provider's network. This
encryption limits the service provider to simple data transmission because
additional services must be implemented before encryption.
DIFFICULT TO INTEGRATE. CPE-based services often involve the integration
of hardware and software from a variety of vendors. We believe that integrating
and ensuring compatibility among diverse hardware and software is a significant
challenge.
INCONSISTENT QUALITY OF SERVICE. Service providers may have difficulty
offering consistent quality of service across all of these disparate network
devices and implementing and supporting agreed levels of service.
THE NEED FOR A NEW NETWORK-BASED
SERVICE DELIVERY MODEL
We believe that the problems with CPE-based service delivery models have
created a significant need for service providers to offer network-based services
that operate on equipment located within the service providers' networks.
Delivering services in this manner requires the creation of a new and more
intelligent network, through which services can be delivered quickly and cost-
effectively. It also must serve thousands of customer sites from within a
service provider's network, without the need for equipment to be installed or
managed on customers' premises. We believe that this network must also be based
on an open architecture, which will support network standards and allow for the
implementation of third-party applications.
30
<PAGE> 32
LIMITATIONS OF EXISTING NETWORK-BASED APPROACHES
RELOCATION OF CUSTOMER PREMISES EQUIPMENT. While reducing the installation
and management costs resulting from broad geographic dispersion of customer
premises equipment, relocating this equipment in the service providers'
facilities does not fully address the remaining problems of CPE-based
approaches. For example, this approach introduces costs incurred in requiring
large numbers of devices to be located in the already constrained space of the
service providers' facilities.
CARRIER SWITCHES AND ROUTERS. Switches and routers used by service
providers are specifically designed to forward packets of data through networks.
We believe that this equipment lacks the flexibility and general-purpose
computing capacity necessary to directly provide a wide range of services.
LARGE GENERAL-PURPOSE COMPUTERS. Large general-purpose computers, commonly
used in computer data centers, do not have routing capabilities or network
access interfaces and are not designed specifically for data forwarding. We
believe that these computers do not have the network management and operational
systems required to meet stringent service provider standards.
NEED FOR AN OPEN ARCHITECTURE
Most of today's network equipment is designed around proprietary
architectures and operating systems. This equipment has not been designed to
support the use of third-party applications in the network. Since network
equipment vendors generally do not maintain core competencies in all application
technologies, we believe that service providers need a system that employs an
open architecture, facilitating the development of new applications and the
adaptation of existing applications by third parties, for use on that device. An
open architecture also allows service providers to rapidly change services and
implement new applications without having to replace existing equipment.
We believe there is substantial demand for systems that enable the
delivery of network-based services and applications in a scalable and reliable
manner.
THE COSINE COMMUNICATIONS SOLUTION
Our IP service delivery platform provides a solution that is designed to
allow service providers to build intelligent data networks and deliver a variety
of third-party applications to their end-users. Intelligent data networks are
those designed to deliver applications from within a network without the need
for specialized customer premises equipment.
Each IPSX 9000 is designed to deliver applications to thousands of
subscribers simultaneously. The following diagram illustrates an intelligent
data network using the CoSine solution for a single organization with multiple
sites.
[DIAGRAM]
This diagram contains three images of the CoSine service processing switchbox,
called the CoSine IPSX 9000. The boxes are labeled Seattle IPSX 9000, San
Francisco IPSX 9000 and New York IPSX 9000. An icon labeled InVision lies at the
center of the diagram. The three IPSX 9000s are connected by lines to each
other, and each is also connected to three building icons.
Our IP service delivery platform consists of three independent key
elements: our IPSX 9000 service processing switch, InVision service management
system and InGage customer network management software. We began shipping the
IPSX 9000 and InVision in the first quarter of 2000, and we have made InGage
generally available in the third quarter of 2000.

We believe our products will offer the following benefits for service
providers and their customers:
- the ability for service providers to increase revenue by delivering a variety
of services to their customers;
- faster availability of new services for delivery by service providers;
- reduced operating expenses for service providers through automated delivery,
customer activation, centralized billing and fewer on-site service calls;
- the ability of service providers to attract new customers and reduce customer
turnover;
- the ability for subscribers to monitor and control services;
- reliability and scalability;
- software-based network management capabilities for service providers and their
customers;
- a flexible open architecture that can support third-party applications and
services; and
- the ability to support and operate with existing network standards and
applications.
Our IP service delivery platform is designed for a wide range of service
providers that potentially includes traditional local, regional, national and
international communications carriers, IP carriers and ISPs.
STRATEGY
Our objective is to become the leading supplier of network systems
designed to enable the delivery of applications and services from within a
service provider's network. The key elements of our strategy are:
- USE OUR ARCHITECTURE TO OFFER THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS. The open
architecture approach of the IPSX 9000 enables us to offer service providers
the capability of using third-party software technologies. We currently offer
several of these technologies from a number of software providers. Our goal is
to continue developing relationships with additional third-party software
providers to expand our portfolio of services.
- ESTABLISH OUR PLATFORM AS THE LEADING SOLUTION IN KEY MARKETS. We focus on
achieving commercial acceptance of our products by customers representing
various types of service providers to allow us to demonstrate and validate
distinct applications. We believe that early success with these customers will
better enable us to market our products to other similar service providers,
which will enable us to establish our products as their primary service
delivery platform.
- WORK CLOSELY WITH CUSTOMERS TO FACILITATE NEW SERVICES. We work closely with
our customers to develop features to meet their complex and distinct needs. We
believe that our customers' input and cooperation are essential to the design
of our platform and its use in their networks.
- EXPAND SALES, DISTRIBUTION, SUPPORT AND SERVICE CAPABILITIES. We intend to
rapidly expand our domestic and international sales and distribution
capabilities. We have built a team of support and service professionals to
assist our customers with the design, implementation and efficient operation
of our platform within their networks.
- DEVELOP NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND PRODUCTS. We have developed a modular and
scalable hardware and software architecture that we believe will allow us to
rapidly develop future products and enhancements. We intend to continue our
significant investment in research and development to create new technologies
and products.
- PURSUE STRATEGIC ALLIANCES AND ACQUISITIONS. We intend to expand our products
and services through selected acquisitions and alliances. These may include
acquisitions of complementary products, technologies and businesses that
enhance our technology leadership and product breadth. We also believe that
working with companies that provide complementary products or services for
32

intelligent data networks will assist us in bringing greater value to our
customers.
PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGY
IP SERVICE DELIVERY PLATFORM
In January 2000, we released our IPSX 9000 service processing switch and
InVision service management system for general availability. We released our
InGage customer network management software for customer trials in the second
quarter of 2000, and we have made InGage generally available in the third
quarter of 2000.
Our products are offered in various configurations and combinations
depending on the size of the service provider and the specific service
offerings. The IPSX 9000 processing switch comes with the operating system
software already loaded. A network service provider may buy the IPSX 9000
processing switch with no additional software applications. However, the IPSX
9000 will often be ordered with the InVision service management system. The
InGage software can be purchased at a later date as the service providers'
customers request network management capability. Additional ISPX 9000 processing
switches may also be purchased at a later date.
The operating system software is loaded into the IPSX 9000 switch at the
time of manufacture. As the product is fully functional at the time of shipment,
no significant installation services are necessary once the product has been
received at the customer's site.
The list price for our IP service delivery platform ranges from $73,000 to
several million dollars, depending on the hardware and software configuration.
IPSX 9000 SERVICE PROCESSING SWITCH
Our IPSX 9000 service processing switch combines the functionality of
high-performance networking hardware, distributed computing hardware and
operating system software. It is designed to be installed in a service
provider's facility and is the product from which services are delivered.
Our platform is based on a computing architecture that allows distributed
computing to occur simultaneously within a multi-processor system. This approach
combines the computing power of multiple computer processors, or processing
engines, to deliver the performance of a more powerful computing system.
This approach, which is designed to be scalable, allows additional
processing resources to be added as they are needed. Our architecture enables
applications to be distributed among available processing resources. These
processing resources are located within processing engines on printed circuit
board assemblies, which we refer to as blades.
IPSX HARDWARE ARCHITECTURE. The IPSX hardware architecture involves two
key design elements, our chassis design and blade design, that create a modular
and flexible platform. Our IPSX 9000 is shown below.
[DIAGRAM]
This diagram contains an image of the CoSine service processing switch box,
called the IPSX 9000 box. The diagram indicates that the IPSX 9000 contains 13
front main system blade slots and 13 rear main system blade slots.
Our chassis design provides a total of 26 slots for system blades, 13 in
the front and 13 in the rear. This chassis supports four types of system blades:
- access blades -- interfaces to subscriber networks;
- trunk blades -- interfaces to the carrier backbone;
- processing blades -- multiple processing engines for service applications; and
- control blades -- processing for shelf management and administrative
functions.
33
<PAGE> 35
Access, trunk and control blades can also support multiple processing
engines for the delivery of services.
We offer the following blades for the IPSX 9000:

PROCESSOR BLADES
4 Processor Service Blade
CONTROL BLADES
Control Blade with Fast Ethernet
IPNOS SOFTWARE. Our operating system software, or IPNOS, is designed to
provide:
- real-time processing, which allows the IPSX 9000 to perform its functions
without significant delay;
- an object-oriented environment, which provides a simple framework for multiple
instances of the same application to operate securely and independently;
- fault-tolerance, with the goal that if any component fails, a backup will
immediately take its place with no loss of service; and
- distributed computing, which spreads applications and data over multiple
processors at the same time.
IPNOS combines the capabilities of real-time operating system software
typically found in networking infrastructure products with the capabilities of
large scale general-purpose computing operating system software typically found
in large scale general-purpose computers and traditional servers. IPNOS is a
distributed operating system designed to allow applications to easily take
advantage of our processing capabilities.
IPNOS is designed to support high-performance routing and data
transmission. It also provides an application programming interface, or API,
which is designed to allow applications to be adapted and transferred from
traditional general-purpose operating systems, such as UNIX or Windows. Finally,
IPNOS provides a framework for secure system communications.
INVISION SERVICE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Our InVision service management system is a scalable network management
software product that is designed to allow service providers to manage our IPSX
9000 platforms and the services being offered to their customers. It is designed
to be installed in the service provider's network operations center and provides
a broad range of management services for each application. It also enables
service providers to develop templates and tools to facilitate the process of
delivering new services.
InVision is designed for scalability to meet the needs of the largest
service provider networks and conforms to telecom industry network management
standards. The InVision system runs on the Sun Solaris and Microsoft Windows NT
operating systems. InVision also is designed to operate with network management
systems from Hewlett-Packard Company, Concord Communications, Inc., VERITAS
Software Corporation and Micromuse Inc.
INGAGE CUSTOMER NETWORK MANAGEMENT
InGage is designed to be a scalable network management software product,
allowing subscribers to securely manage their services through an interface that
can be securely accessed through the internet. We expect InGage to enable a
subscriber to remotely manage services without affecting the services of any
other subscriber and monitor the usage of various services. We expect InGage to
provide subscribers with the ability to activate various service capabilities
directly without contacting the service provider. We have made InGage, an
optional enhancement to the IPSX 9000 and InVision, generally available in the
third quarter of 2000.

IPSX SERVICE APPLICATIONS
A service provider can deliver a variety of service applications running
on our platform based on individual subscriber needs. Our IP service delivery
platform is designed to enable each service to be available independently and
privately for each enterprise subscriber.
Although we license many of our service applications from application
software vendors, we have also developed several of our own enterprise
subscriber service applications. We plan to continue to add new services
developed internally as well as by third parties. The table below shows service
applications available for use on our IP service delivery platform.

SERVICE OFFERING EXAMPLES
Our IP services delivery platform can provide the following network
applications:
- enterprise virtual private network, or VPN, service;
- wholesale VPN service;
- secure broadband service;
- combined traditional and IP networking service; and
- frame relay transported over IP service.
ENTERPRISE VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK SERVICE
[DIAGRAM]
This diagram contains a cloud icon labeled Enterprise ISP, that means enterprise
internet service provider. The cloud contains one CoSine service processing
switch box labeled IPSX 9000 San Francisco and another box labeled IPSX 9000 New
York. On the right and left sides of the cloud icon, there are three boxes
labeled customers. Solid lines show the point to point connections between each
of the IPSX 9000s and the customers. Broken lines show the Encrypted IP Traffic,
or internet protocol traffic that contains coded data for security purposes,
that travels between the IPSX 9000s.
Our platform is designed to enable service providers with IP backbone
networks to offer their enterprise subscribers virtual private network, or VPN,
services without the need for costly customer premises equipment. Using
traditional connections, enterprise subscribers can access our IP service
delivery platform located at their service provider's closest facility. Each
IPSX 9000 acts as a private aggregation point for these connections and can
provide secure routing services between all of a customer's sites within a
virtual network.
Service providers can install our platform at the edge of their networks
to reduce the distance that must be traversed using costly traditional
connections from each enterprise subscriber to the nearest service provider
facility. Once the traffic reaches the IPSX 9000, our platform can provide
encryption and authentication services. The traffic can then be securely
transmitted less expensively over public IP networks or the internet.
36
<PAGE> 38
WHOLESALE VPN SERVICE
[DIAGRAM]
At the center of this diagram there is a cloud icon labeled Wholesale ISP, which
provides wholesale virtual private networks and other services to regional
internet service providers. The cloud icon contains one CoSine service
processing switch box labeled IPSX 9000 San Francisco and one box labeled IPSX
9000 New York. On the right and left sides of the cloud icon, there are three
boxes labeled customers. Dotted lines show the Encrypted IP Traffic, which means
internet protocol traffic that contains coded data for security purposes, that
travels from customers to each of the IPSX 9000 boxes. Small clouds labeled
Multiple Regional ISPs, or internet service providers, intercept each of the
dotted lines. Broken lines show the Encrypted IP Traffic that travels between
the IPSX 9000 boxes.
A wholesale ISP, which provides wholesale VPN and other services to
regional ISPs, can use our IP service delivery platform to offer these regional
ISPs services for resale to their subscribers. ISPs using CPE-based encryption
cannot easily offer network-based services because traffic is encrypted on the
customer's premises before being sent to the network. Once encrypted by the
customer, the service provider cannot interpret the contents of the packet and,
as a result, cannot layer on any services.
When CPE-based encrypted traffic from a customer site is directed by the
regional ISP to our IPSX 9000 within the wholesale ISP's network, the wholesale
ISP can decrypt the traffic and offer services on behalf of regional ISPs. The
wholesale ISP can then re-encrypt the traffic and forward it to its next
destination. This allows the regional ISP to offer a wide range of services to
its customers from the wholesale ISP's network in a cost-effective, scalable
manner.
37
<PAGE> 39
SECURE BROADBAND SERVICE
[DIAGRAM]
This diagram contains a CoSine internet processing switch box labeled IPSX 9000
connected to 9 house icons positioned to the left of the box. Each of the nine
house icons represents a telecommuter, which is a customer that accesses the
virtual network. Each telecommuter is connected to the IPSX 9000 box by DSL, or
digital subscriber line, connections. On the right side of the diagram, there is
a cloud image labeled Frame Relay, ATM or IP, which means frame relay,
asynchronous transfer mode or internet protocol, that connects to three images
labeled ISPs, or internet service providers.
Broadband local access carriers installing digital subscriber line, or
DSL, cable modem or broadband wireless data services control consumer and
business access to the internet and other data networks. These carriers are very
often in the position of providing wholesale broadband access to their service
provider customers. We believe that wholesale broadband connectivity is becoming
a commodity, and these data carriers are seeking ways to lower costs of
providing this connectivity and to increase revenues through services. Our
platform is designed to enable broadband data carriers to provide traffic
aggregation and service switching. Additionally, our platform potentially lowers
the cost of operation for carriers by allowing them to transport the aggregated
traffic over IP networks instead of using traditional connections to reach their
wholesale customers.
Our platform also gives data carriers and their service provider customers
several new revenue-generating opportunities.

COMBINED TRADITIONAL AND IP NETWORKING SERVICE
[DIAGRAM]
This diagram contains a CoSine service processing switch box labeled IPSX 9000
at the center. To the left of the CoSine IPSX 9000 box there are two lines. The
top line is connected to an icon labeled New Remote Office, and the bottom line
is connected to an icon labeled Telecommuter, which is a customer that accesses
the virtual network. Each line passes through another CoSine IPSX 9000 box that
connects back to the center box. To the right of the center IPSX 9000 box there
are three lines. Each line is connected to an icon labeled a Remote Office and
ends at the center box.
Many traditional domestic and international carriers have invested in
frame relay and asynchronous transfer mode, or ATM, network equipment. Frame
relay is a data communications service which puts data into variable-sized units
for transmission, while ATM is a communications switching technology which
organizes data into standard-sized units for transmission. We believe that these
networks and the enterprises using them will continue to grow. Large enterprise
customers using these networks generally cannot afford to quickly migrate their
entire organization to a new IP-based network. Our platform is designed to
enable traditional service providers to use their frame relay or ATM networks to
emulate IP networks and offer network-based services. We believe that this will
enable service providers to pursue revenue opportunities from new services using
their significant investments in equipment.
39
<PAGE> 41
FRAME RELAY TRANSPORTED OVER IP
[DIAGRAM]
This diagram shows the connection between a Remote Office icon and a
Headquarters icon. The Remote Office icon is connected to a CoSine service
processing switch box, called an IPSX 9000 box, that connects to another CoSine
IPSX 9000 box, that then connects to Headquarters. Between the IPSX 9000 boxes
is a network cloud image through which the encrypted frame relay data is
transported over the IP, or internet protocol.
We believe that IP service providers will sometimes need to offer services
enabling frame relay traffic to be transported over IP. We believe that these
service providers are likely to continue to have customers that need to use
traditional services to transport many traditional protocols, such as Novell,
Inc.'s IPX. Although we believe that these services will not grow as quickly as
next generation services, Frame relay connections are likely to continue to grow
with the volume of traffic from large enterprises. Our IPSX 9000 is designed to
permit frame relay traffic to be carried without requiring an IP-based carrier
to invest in any frame relay equipment.

CUSTOMERS
Through August 11, 2000, we have received orders for our products and
services from Qwest Communications, Nissho Electronics, Internet Initiative
Japan, BroadBand Office, AduroNet, Telia, Telenordia and American MetroComm.
Although we have received a purchase order from American MetroComm, it is
contingent on American MetroComm's receipt of financing, which has not yet been
obtained, and we understand that American MetroComm has sought protection under
Chapter 11 of the United States federal bankruptcy code. There can be no
assurance that American MetroComm will purchase the products ordered.
SALES AND MARKETING
We sell our products primarily through our direct sales organization,
which we intend to complement with resellers that target specific countries and
international partners. At August 11, 2000, we had 69 people in our sales and
marketing organization.
DIRECT SALES
Our North American direct sales organization is divided into western,
central, and eastern regions and concentrates on network service providers
offering IP-based services. Territory sales managers cover specified
geographies, and account managers focus on large individual customers. Both
types of sales managers work with our global sales and support organization
systems engineers to provide customers with network design and buildout
proposals. Sales and account managers are directed by regional vice presidents
in the western, central and eastern regions who report directly to the vice
president of worldwide sales.
As part of our direct selling model, we use our field sales, engineering,
and executive personnel to establish multiple contacts within a potential
customer's business organization. We believe that maintaining ongoing customer
relationships with key individuals in a customer's engineering, operations,
marketing and executive departments is important to our success.
INTERNATIONAL SALES AND RESELLERS
We believe that to effectively market our products in other countries, we
need to use local sales organizations that understand the business and network
environment in their countries. We expect that the international sales
organizations and resellers that we are selecting will enhance our ability to
sell our products in complex international environments and provide high quality
support for our foreign customers.
CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SUPPORT
Customer service and support play a key role in ensuring our customers'
success in using the IP services delivery platform. The goal of our service
organization is to enable service providers to generate sustainable new revenues
in a short period of time. We seek to achieve this goal by providing a
comprehensive set of service offerings ranging from professional services
targeted at network architecture, design, and installation to product support.
Our support offerings include hardware and software warranty services, access to
our technical assistance center, on-site network engineers, and technical
information and assistance.
Our professional services include consulting offerings designed to support
service providers from initial planning through implementation and ongoing
operation. Our network engineers and consultants are skilled in network design
and architecture, virtual private network technologies, IP security, IP routing
protocols and network performance and availability.
At August 11, 2000, we had 45 employees in customer service and support,
with the majority located at our Redwood City, California corporate
headquarters.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
We have a team of skilled engineers with extensive experience in
designing:
- scalable internet software;
41
<PAGE> 43
- high performance computing platforms;
- application specific integrated circuits with advanced packaging
technologies;
- network communications protocols;
- internet security protocols;
- internet firewalls;
- managed network services;
- operating system design; and
- network management software.
These individuals have come from data networking, computer systems,
computer security and telecommunications companies.
Our research and development group is organized into teams that work on
multiple generations of products. We seek to offer our customers new products as
they are needed, as well as enhancements to existing products.
We plan to enhance our core technology and develop additional applications
for our IP service delivery platform. We are dedicating substantial resources to
the development of new features for the IPSX 9000. We are in the design phase of
these features and expect a minimum nine to 12 month development cycle.
Our research and development efforts are driven by the availability of new
technology, market demand and customer feedback. We have invested significant
time and resources in creating a structured process for undertaking all product
development projects. Following an assessment of market demand, our research and
development team develops a set of functional product specifications based on
input from the product management, sales, and service organizations. This
process is designed to provide a framework for defining and addressing the
steps, tasks, and activities required to bring product concepts and development
projects to market.
We work closely with our customers to determine the features and
functionality they want from our products. We use their feedback to define and
prioritize our product development efforts. To further the development of
additional applications for our IP service delivery platform, we intend to
continue working with current and potential customers to develop products that
address the needs of the market.
At August 11, 2000, we had 223 employees in our research and development
group.
Our research and development expenses totaled $34.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000, $27.3 million in 1999, $7.4 million in 1998, and
$87,000 for the period from incorporation to December 31, 1997.
MANUFACTURING
We outsource manufacturing to three contract manufacturers: Solectron,
SMTC Manufacturing and Sonic Manufacturing. These suppliers procure material and
assemble and test all printed circuit boards and chassis assemblies used in our
products. These printed circuit boards and chassis assemblies are delivered to
our Redwood City, California facilities, where we perform the final testing,
packaging and shipping. Our manufacturers produce our products within 30 miles
of our Redwood City facilities. All manufacturing is done on a purchase order
basis. We anticipate that Solectron will provide additional manufacturing
services through systems integration, test and direct shipment to our customers
by the end of 2000.
We believe that our use of outsourced manufacturing minimizes the space
and inventory investment needed for manufacturing operations and enables us to:
- adjust manufacturing volumes quickly to meet changes in customer demand;
- focus on production planning and key commodity management; and
- take advantage of the purchasing power of our contract manufacturers.
At August 11, 2000, we had 29 employees in our manufacturing operations
group.

COMPETITION
The networking equipment business is extremely competitive, with numerous
vendors offering products that enhance the functionality of a service provider's
network. Because our IP service delivery platform enables a broad suite of
services, our capabilities place us in direct competition with a variety of
networking equipment vendors who can offer specific products addressing these
customer needs.
In specific service areas, our competitors include Alcatel, Cisco, Lucent,
Nortel, Siemens and Spring Tide which was recently acquired by Lucent
Technologies, Inc. Our competitors market and sell products offering virtual
private network capabilities and firewall solutions. These competitors and other
new entrants are developing new infrastructure solutions for use within a
service provider's network.
We also compete with companies that provide traditional enterprise
products because our IP service delivery platform may reduce the need for these
products. These vendors include Check Point Software Technologies, Ltd. and
AXENT Technologies, Inc. for firewalls, and VPNet Technologies, Inc. and
RedCreek Communications, Inc. for virtual private network encryption. Although
we believe no single competitor is dominant in the market, we believe our single
largest competitor is Nortel, which produces the Shasta Network application.
Nortel has significant market penetration and sales strength.
Many of these companies, particularly the large public companies, have
substantially greater financial, marketing and development resources. Many of
them have existing relationships with network service providers, which will make
it more difficult for us to sell our products to those customers. Some
competitors may seek to use intellectual property rights to limit our ability to
compete.
We believe that the principal methods of competition in these markets are
product performance, reliability, expandability and the ability of a product to
deliver cost-effective results. We believe that to be competitive in these
markets, we must deliver products that:
- provide extremely high network reliability;
- provide high performance capabilities;
- scale easily and efficiently with minimum disruption to the network;
- operate with existing network designs and equipment vendors;
- reduce the complexity of the network by decreasing the need for multiple
layers of equipment;
- provide a cost-effective solution for service providers; and
- are supported by responsive customer service and support.
We believe that positive factors pertaining to our competitive position
include our technology, the expertise of our research and development personnel,
our service and support organization and our intellectual property rights. We
believe that negative factors pertaining to our competitive position include our
relative newness in the market and the fact that some of our competitors have
large financial resources available to promote sales of their products and to
develop products more directly competitive with ours.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Our IPNOS software, InVision service management system and InGage customer
network management system were developed internally and are protected by United
States and foreign copyright laws. Our IP service delivery platform system
architecture and hardware were developed internally, and we own all rights to
the core interfaces and protocols between subsystems.
Although we rely on copyright, trade secret and trademark law to protect
our intellectual property, we believe that the technological and creative skills
of our personnel, new product developments and frequent product enhancements are
essential to maintain our technology leadership.
43
<PAGE> 45
We license software from network software application companies for
integration into our IP service delivery platform. These licenses are terminable
after a specified period or upon the occurrence of specified events. If one or
more of these licenses is terminated, we may need to locate and incorporate
alternative software providing comparable services to the customer.
Our success will depend upon our ability to obtain necessary intellectual
property rights and protect our intellectual rights. We cannot be certain that
we will be able to obtain the necessary intellectual property rights or that
other parties will not contest our intellectual property rights.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Except as described below, we are not subject to any material legal
proceedings.
On June 6, 2000, Ericsson Inc. filed a complaint against us and five of
our employees in the Superior Court of Wake County in North Carolina. The
complaint alleged that we misappropriated trade secrets known to the five
employees who had recently left Ericsson's employ and that we induced the
employees to breach their contractual obligations to Ericsson. The complaint
seeks injunctive relief and unspecified monetary damages, as well as punitive
and treble damages.
On June 16, 2000, the Court entered a modified temporary restraining order
that prohibits CoSine from:
- allowing the CoSine employees formerly employed by Ericsson to work on some
projects involving multi protocol label switching and virtual private
networks;
- soliciting Ericsson employees to leave Ericsson; and
- using Ericsson's trade secrets and confidential information.
Subsequent to a hearing on July 13, 2000, we signed a settlement terms
sheet, under which we have agreed not to solicit the employment of any of
Ericsson's employees. Under the agreement, we do not anticipate that we will
incur financial liability.
EMPLOYEES
At August 11, 2000, we had 428 full-time employees, 223 of whom were
engaged in research and development, 69 in sales and marketing, 45 in customer
support, 62 in general corporate, finance and administration, and 29 in
manufacturing. None of our employees is represented by a labor union. None of
our officers or key employees is bound by an employment agreement for any
specific term. We have not experienced any work stoppages, and we consider our
relations with our employees to be good.
FACILITIES
We lease approximately 131,000 square feet located in San Carlos,
California and Redwood City, California under leases which expire in July 2001,
August 2002 and December 2011. Although we believe that our facilities are
adequate to meet our current requirements, we expect that by the end of 2000 we
will need additional space to accommodate our growth.

LIMITATIONS ON DIRECTORS' AND OFFICER'S LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
DELAWARE LAW. Delaware law provides that directors of a corporation will
not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary
duties as directors, except liability for:
- any breach of their duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;
- acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or
a knowing violation of law;
- unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions;
or
- any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
This limitation of liability does not apply to liabilities arising under the
federal securities laws and does not affect the availability of equitable
remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.
INDEMNIFICATION UNDER OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS. Our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. We also have the
power to indemnify other employees and agents to the extent permitted by law. We
believe that indemnification under our bylaws covers at least negligence and
gross negligence of indemnified parties. Our bylaws permit us to maintain
insurance covering our officers, directors, employees or other agents for any
liability arising out of their actions in our service, regardless of whether
applicable laws would permit indemnification.
INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENTS. We intend to enter into agreements to
indemnify our directors and officers, in addition to the indemnification
provided for in our bylaws. These agreements provide for indemnification of our
directors and officers for expenses including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines
and settlement amounts incurred in any action or proceeding, including any
action by us or on our behalf. Indemnifiable actions must
48
<PAGE> 50
arise out of a director's or officer's service for us, any subsidiary, or other
companies or enterprises if done so at our request. These indemnification
agreements also provide that we will pay any taxes imposed on our officers and
directors due to our payments to them under the agreement.
We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract
and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. None of our directors,
officers or employees is involved in any litigation or proceeding in which
indemnification is sought, and we are unaware of any threatened litigation that
may result in claims for indemnification.

OPTION GRANTS IN LAST FISCAL YEAR. This table provides information about
the stock options granted to the named executive officers during the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1999. All of these options were granted under our 1997 stock
plan and have a term of ten years. An option may terminate earlier if the option
holder stops providing services to us.
We granted options to purchase 12,604,225 shares of our common stock in
1999. The percentage of total options in the table below was calculated based on
options to purchase an aggregate of 12,150,370 shares of our common stock
granted to our employees in 1999.
Options were granted at an exercise price that we believed represented the
fair value of our common stock, as determined in good faith by our board of
directors. After our initial public offering process began, we reevaluated the
grant date value of the common stock underlying the options.
The grant date present value represents the value of the shares underlying
each option multiplied by the per share present value of the common stock on the
date that the option was granted. Each per share grant date present value was
determined based on the:
most recent sales price of our preferred stock to third-party investors prior to
the grant date;
assumed initial public offering price of $16.00 per share; and
business milestones achieved prior to the grant date.

AGGREGATE OPTION EXERCISES AND OPTION VALUES. The following table sets
forth information about the named executive officers concerning option exercises
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, and exercisable and unexercisable
options held as of December 31, 1999.
The value realized is based on the fair value of our stock as
re-determined by the board of directors after our initial public offering
process began, minus the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares
issued upon exercise of the option.
The value of unexercised in-the-money options at fiscal year-end is based
on an assumed initial public offering price of $16.00 per share minus the actual
exercise price of the option, multiplied by the number of shares underlying the
option.

STOCK PLANS
1997 STOCK PLAN
ADOPTION AND SHARES RESERVED. Our 1997 stock plan was adopted by our board
of directors and by our stockholders in October 1997. Through June 30, 2000, we
had reserved for issuance under the 1997 plan 27,620,000 shares of common stock,
of which 9,860,629 shares were subject to outstanding options having a weighted
average exercise price of approximately $4.18 per share and 4,748,587 shares
remained available for future grant.
OPTIONS. We expect that upon the adoption of the 2000 stock plan that no
further options will be granted under the 1997 plan. However, its provisions
will still govern outstanding options issued under the 1997 plan. Our 1997 plan
provides for the grant of incentive stock options as defined in Section 422 of
the Internal Revenue Code to our employees, and for the grant of nonstatutory
stock options to our employees, directors and consultants. An incentive stock
option means an option granted to a company's employee if:
- the option is granted under a plan approved by the stockholders of the company
within 12 months before or after the plan is adopted;
- the option is granted within 10 years from the earlier of the date the plan is
adopted or the date the plan was approved by the stockholders;
- the option is not exercisable after 10 years from the date of grant;
- the option price is at least 100% of the fair market value of the underlying
stock on the date of grant; and
- the option holder, at the time the option is granted, does not own stock equal
to 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of
the company.
ADJUSTMENTS UPON MERGER OR ASSET SALE. Our 1997 plan provides that if we
merge with or into another corporation or sell all or substantially all of our
assets, the successor corporation will assume or substitute each option or stock
purchase
51
<PAGE> 53
right. If the outstanding options or stock purchase rights are not assumed or
substituted, the administrator will provide notice to holders of options and
stock purchase rights that they have the right to exercise options or stock
purchase rights for all of the shares subject to the options or stock purchase
rights, including shares which would not otherwise be exercisable, for a period
of 15 days from the date of the notice. The options or stock purchase rights
will terminate upon the expiration of the 15-day period.
2000 STOCK PLAN
ADOPTION AND SHARES RESERVED. Our 2000 stock plan was approved by our
board of directors in May 2000 and approved by our stockholders in July 2000.
The 2000 plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, to our
employees, and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options and stock purchase
rights to our employees, directors and consultants.
If this offering is completed, 2,500,000 shares of common stock plus the
number of shares then reserved and unissued under our 1997 stock plan will be
reserved for issuance under the 2000 stock plan. At June 30, 2000, 4,748,587
shares of our common stock remained available for issuance under the 1997 plan.
Any shares of common stock that are subsequently returned to the 1997 plan
because of termination of options or our repurchase of shares previously issued
under that plan will be reserved for issuance under the 2000 plan. The 2000 plan
provides for annual increases in the number of shares available for issuance on
the first day of each fiscal year, beginning with our fiscal year 2001, equal to
the lesser of:
- 12,500,000 shares;
- 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock on the first day of our fiscal
year; or
- an amount determined by our board of directors.
ADMINISTRATION. Our board of directors or a committee of our board
administers the 2000 plan. If the options are intended to qualify as
performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue
Code, a committee of two or more outside directors within the meaning of Section
162(m) will administer the 2000 plan. The administrator has the power to
determine the terms of the options or stock purchase rights granted, including
the exercise price, the number of shares subject to each option or stock
purchase right, the exercisability of the options and the form of consideration
payable upon exercise.
EXERCISE PRICE. The administrator determines the exercise price of options
granted under the 2000 plan, but for nonstatutory stock options intended to
qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) and all incentive
stock options, the exercise price must at least be equal to the fair market
value of our common stock on the date of grant. The term of an incentive stock
option may not exceed ten years and the administrator determines the term of all
other options.
No person may be granted an option to purchase more than 2,000,000 shares
in any fiscal year. For his initial service, a person may be granted an
additional option to purchase up to 8,000,000 shares.
TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. After termination of one of our employees,
directors or consultants, the person may exercise an option for the period of
time stated in the option agreement. In the absence of a period of time in the
option agreement, the option will remain exercisable for 12 months if
termination is due to death or disability. In all other cases, the option will
generally remain exercisable for three months. However, an option may never be
exercised later than the expiration of its term.
REPURCHASE OPTION. The administrator determines the exercise price of
stock purchase rights granted under our 2000 plan. Unless the administrator
determines otherwise, a restricted stock purchase agreement will grant us a
repurchase option that we may exercise upon the voluntary or involuntary
termination of the purchaser's service with us for any reason including death or
disability. The purchase price for shares
52
<PAGE> 54
we repurchase will generally be the original price paid by the purchaser and may
be paid by cancellation of any indebtedness of the purchaser to us. The
administrator determines the rate at which our repurchase option will lapse.
NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. Our 2000 plan generally does not allow for
the transfer of options or stock purchase rights and only the holder of an
option or stock purchase right may exercise the option or stock purchase right
during the holder's lifetime.
ADJUSTMENTS UPON MERGER OR ASSET SALE. Our 2000 plan provides that if we
merge with another corporation or sell all or substantially all of our assets,
the successor corporation will assume or substitute each option or stock
purchase right. If the outstanding options or stock purchase rights are not
assumed or substituted, the administrator will provide notice to holders of
options and stock purchase rights that they have the right to exercise the
options or stock purchase rights for all of the shares subject to the options or
stock purchase rights, including shares which would not otherwise be
exercisable, for a period of 15 days from the date of the notice. The options or
stock purchase rights will terminate upon the expiration of the 15-day period.
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. Our 2000 plan will automatically terminate in
2010, unless we terminate it sooner. Our board of directors has the authority to
amend, suspend or terminate the 2000 plan provided it does not adversely affect
any option previously granted under it.
2000 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
ADOPTION AND SHARES RESERVED. In May 2000, our board of directors adopted
the 2000 employee stock purchase plan, and we will submit the purchase plan to
our stockholders for approval before completion of this offering.
If this offering is completed, a total of 2,500,000 shares of common stock
will be reserved for issuance under the purchase plan, plus annual increases
equal to the lesser of:
- 5,000,000 shares,
- 2% of the outstanding shares on that date, or
- an amount determined by our board of directors.
OFFERING PERIODS. The purchase plan contains consecutive six month
offering and purchase periods. The offering periods generally start on the first
trading day on or after May 15 and November 15 of each year, except for the
first offering period which begins on the first trading day on or after the
effective date of this offering and ends on the last trading day on or after May
15, 2002.
ELIGIBILITY. Employees are eligible to participate if they are employed by
us or any participating subsidiary for at least 20 hours per week and more than
five months in any calendar year. However, any employee who:
- immediately after grant owns stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined
voting power or value of all classes of our capital stock; or
- whose rights to purchase stock under all of our employee stock purchase plans
accrues at a rate which exceeds $25,000 worth of stock for each calendar year
may not be granted an option to purchase stock under this plan.
OPTION TERMS. The purchase plan permits participants to purchase common
stock through payroll deductions of up to 10% of the participant's compensation.
Compensation includes the participant's base gross earnings and commissions but
is exclusive of payments for overtime, shift premium payments, incentive
compensation, incentive payments, bonuses and other compensation. The maximum
number of shares a participant may purchase during a single purchase period is
5,000 shares.
Amounts deducted and accumulated by the participant are used to purchase
shares of common stock at the end of each purchase period. The price of stock
purchased under
53
<PAGE> 55
the purchase plan is 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the common
stock:
- at the beginning of the offering period; or
- at the end of the purchase period.
Participants may end their participation at any time during an offering period,
and they will be paid their payroll deductions to date. Participation ends
automatically upon termination of employment with us.
NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. Rights granted under the purchase plan are
not transferable by a participant other than by will, the laws of descent and
distribution or as otherwise provided under the plan.
ADJUSTMENTS UPON MERGER OR ASSET SALE. The purchase plan provides that if
we merge with another corporation or sell all or substantially all our assets,
each outstanding option may be assumed or substituted for by the successor
corporation. If the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for
the outstanding options, the offering period then in progress will be shortened
and a new exercise date will be set. The purchase plan will terminate
automatically in 2010, unless terminated earlier. The board of directors has the
authority to amend or terminate the purchase plan, except that the board of
directors may not adversely affect any outstanding rights to purchase stock
under the purchase plan. The board of directors has the exclusive authority to
interpret and apply the provisions of the purchase plan.
2000 DIRECTOR OPTION PLAN
ADOPTION AND INITIAL RESERVE. In May 2000, our board of directors adopted
the 2000 director option plan, and we will submit the director plan to our
stockholders for approval before completion of this offering.
If this offering is completed, a total of 400,000 shares of common stock
will be reserved for issuance under the director plan, plus annual increases
equal to the lesser of:
- the number of shares granted under the director plan during our last fiscal
year; or
- an amount determined by our board of directors.
No awards will be made under the director plan until completion of this
offering. The purpose of the director plan is to attract and retain the best
available non-employee directors and to provide them additional incentives to
promote the success of our business.
OPTIONS. The director plan will automatically grant an option to purchase
80,000 shares of common stock to each non-employee director appointed or elected
after this offering is completed. The director plan also provides that each
non-employee director who has been a member of our board of directors for at
least six months before the date of our annual stockholders' meeting will
receive automatic annual grants of options to acquire 20,000 shares of our
common stock.
The options will have an exercise price per share equal to the fair market
value of our common stock at the date of grant and will have a term of ten
years. Initial options vest and become exercisable in four equal annual
increments. Later options vest and become exercisable on the fourth anniversary
of the date of grant.
ADJUSTMENTS UPON MERGER OR ASSET SALE. If we merge with another
corporation or sell all or substantially all of our assets, the successor
corporation will assume or substitute each option. If assumption or substitution
occurs, the options will continue to be exercisable according to the same terms
as before the merger or sale of assets. Following assumption or substitution, if
a non-employee director is terminated other than by voluntary resignation, the
option will become fully exercisable and generally will remain exercisable for a
period of three months. If the outstanding options are not assumed or
substituted for, our board of directors will notify each non-employee director
that he or she has the right to exercise the option for all shares subject to
the option for a period of 30 days following the date of the notice. The option
will terminate upon the expiration of the 30-day period.
54
<PAGE> 56
EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. Options granted under the director option plan must
be exercised within three months of the end of the non-employee director's
tenure as a member of our board of directors, or within 12 months after a
non-employee director's termination by death or disability, provided that the
option does not terminate by its terms earlier.
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. Our director option plan, unless earlier
terminated, terminates automatically in 2010. Our board of directors may amend,
suspend or terminate the plan, unless stockholder approval of an amendment is
required by law or the action impairs an outstanding option, requiring the
option holder's consent previously granted under the plan, unless agreed to by
the affected non-employee director.
401(k) PLAN
In July 1998, we adopted a 401(k) plan for which our employees generally
will be eligible. The plan is intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code, so that contributions to the plan by employees or by us
and the investment earnings on the contributions are not taxable to the
employees until withdrawn. If our plan qualifies under Section 401(k), our
contributions will be deductible by us when made. Our employees may elect to
reduce their current compensation by an amount up to the annual limit permitted
by law, $10,500 in 2000, and to have those funds contributed to the plan.
Although we may make matching contributions to the plan on behalf of all
participants, we have not made any contributions.
CHANGE OF CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS
Some options awarded under our 1997 stock plan provide that the options
will become fully exercisable and fully vested if, anytime within 24 months
following a change of control, the option holder's employment is terminated
other than for cause or if a constructive termination of the option holder's
employment occurs. Events constituting a constructive termination include a
significant reduction in the option holder's duties, position or
responsibilities without the option holder's prior written consent. Options
containing these change of control provisions were granted to our named
executive officers and other employees.

PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS
The following table sets forth information about the beneficial ownership
of our common stock at June 30, 2000, and as adjusted to reflect the sale of
common stock offered by this prospectus, by:
- the individuals listed on the "Summary Compensation Table" above;
- our directors;
- each person or group of affiliated persons who is known to us to own
beneficially 5% or more of our common stock; and
- all directors and executive officers as a group.
BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP. Beneficial ownership is determined under the rules
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In computing the number of shares
beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person,
shares of common stock subject to options held by that person that are
exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of June 30, 2000, are assumed to be
issued and outstanding. These shares, however, are not assumed to be outstanding
for purposes of computing percentage ownership of each other stockholder.
Except as indicated in the footnotes to this table and subject to
applicable community property laws, each stockholder named in the table has sole
voting and investment power over the shares shown as beneficially owned by them.
This table also includes shares owned by a spouse as community property.
PERCENT BENEFICIALLY OWNED. The percentage of common stock beneficially
owned is based on 90,079,828 shares of common stock outstanding on June 30, 2000
and 100,079,828 shares of common stock outstanding after completion of this
offering. The percentage of common stock beneficially owned is calculated in
accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The pro
forma calculation of common stock outstanding at June 30, 2000, assumes:
- the exercise of warrants that are automatically exercisable before or upon the
closing of this offering; and
- the automatic conversion into common stock upon the closing of this offering
of preferred stock outstanding at June 30, 2000.
This table assumes no exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase
additional shares in this offering.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
GENERAL
Upon the closing of this offering, we will be authorized to issue
300,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value, and 3,000,000 shares of
undesignated preferred stock, $0.0001 par value.
COMMON STOCK
At June 30, 2000, 90,079,828 shares of common stock were outstanding and
were held of record by approximately 450 stockholders. The number of outstanding
shares of common stock assumes the exercise of warrants containing automatic
exercise provisions and the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of
preferred stock.
Our amended certificate of incorporation provides that each share of
series E preferred stock will be initially convertible into one share of common
stock upon completion of this offering. However, if the initial public offering
price is less than $15.00, the series E conversion rate will increase to a
number equal to $15.00 divided by the greater of $7.00 and the initial public
offering price. For example, if the initial public offering price was $14.00,
the series E conversion rate would increase to 1.0714, resulting in the issuance
of an additional 333,310 shares of common stock upon conversion of the 4,666,667
outstanding shares of series E preferred stock.
The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all
matters to be voted upon by the stockholders. Subject to preferences that may be
applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, the holders of common stock are
entitled to ratably receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to
time by the board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose.
If we liquidate, dissolve or wind up our affairs, the holders of common stock
are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of
liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of the holders of preferred
stock, if any, then outstanding. The common stock has no preemptive or
conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or
sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. All outstanding shares
of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable, and the shares of common stock
to be issued upon the closing of this offering will be fully paid and
nonassessable.
PREFERRED STOCK
The board of directors has the authority, without action by the
stockholders, to designate and issue preferred stock in one or more series and
to designate the rights, preferences and privileges of each series, any or all
of which may be greater than the rights of the common stock. It is not possible
to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock upon
the rights of holders of the common stock until the board of directors
determines the specific rights of the holders of preferred stock. However, the
effects might include restricting dividends on the common stock, diluting the
voting power of the common stock, impairing the liquidation rights of the common
stock and delaying or preventing a change of our control without further action
by the stockholders. No shares of preferred stock will be outstanding upon the
completion of this offering.
WARRANTS
At June 30, 2000, there were warrants outstanding to purchase a total of
749,416 shares of common stock, 643,631 shares of series B preferred stock,
1,875,403 shares of series C preferred stock and 154,064 shares of series D
preferred stock. Unless earlier exercised, warrants to purchase 243,067 shares

REGISTRATION RIGHTS
At June 30, 2000, the holders of 74,651,699 shares of common stock, as
converted, and warrants to purchase 2,591,800 shares of common stock, as
converted, are entitled to have these shares registered under the Securities Act
at any time after 180 days following the closing of this offering.
The holders of the registrable securities, by written request of holders
holding at least 50% of the outstanding registrable securities, may require on
two occasions that we register their shares at our expense.
Holders of at least 20% of the registrable securities may request that we
register their shares for public resale on form S-3 or similar short-form
registration at our expense. We will be obligated to register the shares only
if:
- we are eligible to use form S-3 or similar short-form registration;
- at least 180 days has elapsed since the most recent registration of our common
stock; and
- the value of the securities to be registered is at least $1,000,000.
If we register any of our securities for sale to the public for cash after
this offering, the holders of registrable securities generally are entitled, at
our expense, to include their shares of common stock in the registration,
subject to the right of the underwriter to reduce the number of shares proposed
to be registered in view of market conditions.
DELAWARE ANTI-TAKEOVER LAW AND PROVISIONS OF OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
AND BYLAWS
Delaware law and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could make it
more difficult for another person to acquire us and to remove incumbent officers
and directors. These provisions are intended to discourage coercive takeover
practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to
acquire control of us to first negotiate with us. We believe that protecting our
ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited takeover
proposal outweighs the disadvantages of discouraging a takeover proposal because
negotiation of a proposal could result in an improvement of its terms.
SECTION 203 OF THE DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW. We are subject to
section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, an anti-takeover law. In
general, section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from
engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period
of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder.
Section 203 generally does not apply if the business combination or the
transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in
advance. Generally, a business combination includes a merger, asset or stock
sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested
stockholder. Generally, an interested stockholder is a person who, with
affiliates and associates, owns or, within three years before the determination
of interested stockholder status, did own 15% or more of a corporation's voting
stock. Section 203 may delay or prevent a change in control of us without
further action by the stockholders.
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS. Upon the closing of the offering,
our certificate of incorporation and bylaws will:
- provide that stockholders must hold an annual or special meeting to take
action and may not act by written consent;
- not provide for cumulative voting;
- provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by the board
of directors, specified officers or holders of 50% or more of our outstanding
shares;
- require stockholders to provide advance notice of nominations for election to
the board of directors and proposals they intend to submit for approval at
stockholder meetings;
- provide that our board of directors will be divided into three classes, with
each class serving staggered three-year terms; and
66
<PAGE> 68
- require that:
- significant amendments by the stockholders of the certificate of
incorporation and of the bylaws; and
- removal of directors without good reason,
require the approval of holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all
outstanding stock.
Our certificate of incorporation allows our board of directors to issue
preferred stock without stockholder approval. These provisions may discourage or
delay a hostile takeover of us or changes in our control or management.
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
The transfer agent and registrar for the common stock is ChaseMellon

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
SALES IN THE PUBLIC MARKET COULD HURT THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR STOCK
Immediately before this offering, there was no public market for our
common stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public
market could adversely affect the market price of the common stock.
WHAT SHARES ARE OUTSTANDING AND WHAT SHARES ARE FREELY TRADABLE
Upon completion of this offering, we will have outstanding 100,079,828
shares of common stock. This assumes the issuance of the offered shares, no
exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares and no
exercise of options or warrants after June 30, 2000, other than warrants that
are automatically exercisable because of or that expire immediately before the
closing of this offering. The 10,000,000 shares sold in the offering will be
freely tradable under the Securities Act, unless purchased by affiliates, as
that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, generally officers,
directors or 10% stockholders.
WHAT SHARES ARE RESTRICTED AND NOT FREELY TRADABLE
The remaining 90,079,828 outstanding shares of common stock held by
existing stockholders will be restricted securities under Rule 144. Restricted
securities may be sold in the public market only if they are registered or if
they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rules 144, 144(k) or 701
under the Securities Act, which are summarized below. We have the right to
repurchase shares received by our employees, directors and consultants upon the
early exercise of options if the holder of the shares ceases to be an employee,
director or consultant and our right has not lapsed.
EFFECTS OF THE 180-DAY LOCK-UP AGREEMENT ON SALES OF STOCK
Stockholders holding an aggregate of 90,065,611 of these restricted
securities are either subject to contractual restrictions on resale contained in
agreements with the underwriters or with us. These restrictions generally
provide that stockholders will not offer, sell or transfer any of their shares
for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus. Goldman, Sachs & Co.
may, without notice, release all or any portion of the shares subject to the
contractual restrictions with the underwriters. We have agreed not to release
any of the shares subject to the contractual restrictions with us.
We also have entered into an agreement with the underwriters that we will
not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of common stock for a period of 180 days
from the date of this prospectus.
Taking into account the lock-up agreements and assuming Goldman, Sachs &
Co. does not release stockholders from these agreements, the following shares
will be eligible for sale in the public market at the following times:
- on the date of this prospectus, the shares sold in the offering will be
immediately available for sale in the public market;
- 2 business days after our December 31, 2000 quarterly results are released,
15% of the shares subject to contractual restrictions with the underwriters
will be released and may be sold if the shares are eligible for sale under
Rule 144 or Rule 701;
- 30 business days after our December 31, 2000 quarterly results are released,
an additional 25% of the shares subject to contractual restrictions with the
underwriters will be released and may be sold if the shares are eligible for
sale under Rule 144 or Rule 701;
- 180 days after the effective date of this prospectus, approximately 12,751,070
shares could be eligible for sale under Rule 701; and
- shares not subject to lock up agreements may be eligible for sale under Rule
144 as
68
<PAGE> 70
early as 90 days following the date of this prospectus subject to volume,
manner of sale and other limitations under Rule 144. The remaining shares may
be eligible for sale under Rule 144, after the expiration of the lock up
agreements.
The preceding table assumes that quarterly results are released on January
25, 2001 and that the effective date of the offering is September 25, 2000. The
automatic partial release of shares is subject to the last reported trading
price of the shares for at least 20 of the 30 trading days before the relevant
date being at least twice the initial public offering price per share.
REGISTRATION OF SHARES ISSUABLE UNDER OUR EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
At June 30, 2000, there were outstanding options to purchase 9,860,629
shares of common stock. After the completion of the offering, we intend to file
one or more registration statements on form S-8 under the Securities Act to
register all of the shares of common stock issued or reserved for future
issuance under our 1997 stock plan, 2000 stock plan, 2000 employee stock
purchase plan and 2000 director option plan. Although the registration statement
will become effective automatically upon filing, sales of shares under the
registration statement are subject to the lock-up restrictions and repurchase
rights described above.
STOCKHOLDER REGISTRATION RIGHTS
Following this offering, the holders of 74,651,699 shares of outstanding
common stock, as converted, and warrants to purchase 2,591,800 shares of common
stock, as converted, will, under some circumstances, have the right to require
us to register their shares for future sale.
EFFECTS OF RULE 144 ON SALES OF RESTRICTED SHARES
In general, under Rule 144, beginning 90 days after the date of this
prospectus, a person, including an affiliate, who has beneficially owned shares
of our common stock for at least one year is entitled to sell, within any
three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of
- 1% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding, which will equal
approximately 1,000,798 shares immediately after this offering; or
- the average weekly trading volume of the common stock on the Nasdaq National
Market during the four calendar weeks before the filing of a notice on Form
144 for the sale.
Sales under Rule 144 are subject to requirements about the manner of sale,
notice filing and the availability of current public information about us.
EFFECTS OF RULE 144(k) ON SALES OF RESTRICTED SHARES
Under Rule 144(k), a person who has not been one of our affiliates at any
time during the 90 days before a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares
proposed to be sold for at least two years, including the holding period of any
prior owner other than an affiliate, is entitled to sell the shares without
complying with the manner of sale, notice filing, volume limitation provisions
of Rule 144 and without current public information about us being available.
Unless otherwise restricted, those shares may be sold immediately upon the
effective date of this offering.
EFFECTS OF RULE 701 ON SALES OF RESTRICTED SHARES
In general, under Rule 701, any of our employees, directors, officers,
consultants or advisors who purchases shares from us under a written
compensatory stock purchase or option plan or other written agreement before the
effective date of this offering is entitled to resell the shares 90 days after
the effective date of this offering in reliance on the resale provisions of Rule
701. Rule 701, permits non-affiliates to sell their Rule 701 shares without
complying with the public-information, holding-period, volume limitation or
notice provisions of Rule 144. Rule 701 also permits affiliates to sell their
Rule 701 shares without having to comply with the holding-period provisions of
Rule 144. Unless otherwise restricted, Rule 701 shares may be sold 90 days after
the effective date of this offering.

UNDERWRITING
CoSine and the underwriters for the offering named below have entered into
an underwriting agreement for the shares being offered. Subject to conditions in
the underwriting agreement, each underwriter has severally agreed to purchase
the number of shares indicated in the following table. Goldman, Sachs & Co.,
Chase Securities Inc., FleetBoston Robertson Stephens Inc. and J.P. Morgan
Securities Inc. are the representatives of the underwriters.

</TABLE>
If the underwriters sell more shares than the total number in the table
above, the underwriters have an option to buy up to an additional 1,500,000
shares from CoSine to cover these sales. They may exercise that option for 30
days. If any shares are purchased under this option, the underwriters will
severally purchase shares in approximately the same proportion as set forth in
the table above.
The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discounts
and commissions to be paid to the underwriters by CoSine. Such amounts are shown
assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters' option to
purchase additional shares.

Shares sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at
the initial public offering price on the cover of this prospectus. Any shares
sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount of up
to $ per share from the initial public offering price. Any of these
securities dealers may resell any shares purchased from the underwriters to
other brokers or dealers at a discount of up to $ per share from the initial
public offering price. If all the shares are not sold at the initial offering
price, the representatives may change the offering price and the other selling
terms.
Before the offering, there has been no public market for the common stock.
The initial public offering price will be negotiated among CoSine and the
representatives. Among the factors to be considered in determining the initial
public offering price of the shares will be prevailing market conditions and
CoSine's historical performance, estimates of the business potential and
earnings prospects of CoSine, an assessment of CoSine's management and the
consideration of the above factors in relation to market valuation of companies
in related businesses.
CoSine and its executive officers, directors and stockholders holding
shares have agreed with the underwriters not to dispose of or hedge
any of their common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for
shares of common stock during the period from the date of this prospectus
continuing through the date 180 days after the date of this prospectus, except
with the prior written consent of Goldman, Sachs & Co. On the second business
day following the public release of CoSine's operating results for the fiscal
70
<PAGE> 72
quarter ended December 31, 2000, these
restrictions shall cease to apply to 15% of the shares of our capital stock
owned by stockholders as of the date of this prospectus if the reported last
sale price of CoSine's common stock on the Nasdaq National Market for at least
20 of the 30 trading days ending on the last trading day preceding that date is
at least twice the initial public offering price per share in this offering. On
the thirtieth day following the public release of CoSine's operating results for
the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2000, these restrictions shall cease to
apply to 25% of the shares of our capital stock owned by stockholders as of the
date of this prospectus if the reported last sale price of CoSine's common stock
on the Nasdaq National Market for at least 20 of the 30 trading days ending on
the last trading day preceding that date is at least twice the initial public
offering price per share in this offering. These agreements do not apply to
employee stock option or stock purchase plans described under "Executive
Compensation", or upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of convertible or
exchangeable securities or other securities or rights outstanding or existing on
the date of this prospectus. In addition, stockholders holding 211,103 shares
have agreed with CoSine not to sell, make a short sale of, grant any option for
the purchase of or otherwise dispose of any shares without the prior written
consent of the underwriters. These agreements with CoSine do not restrict all
transactions by those stockholders to hedge their shares, for example through
the purchase of a put option or similar derivative security. Those hedging
transactions, if they were to occur, could result in sales of additional shares
in the open market by one or more third parties participating in the
transactions. CoSine has agreed to take reasonable steps to enforce and, without
the prior written consent of the underwriters, not to waive these agreements.
See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale" for a discussion of certain transfer
restrictions.
At the request of CoSine, the underwriters have reserved at the initial
public offering price up to ten percent of the shares of common stock offered in
this offering for sale to directors, officers, employees, business associates
and related persons of CoSine. The number of shares of common stock available
for sale to the general public will be reduced to the extent these individuals
purchase these reserved shares. Any reserved shares which are not so purchased
will be offered by the underwriters to the general public on the same basis as
the other shares offered by this prospectus.
In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell
shares of common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short
sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by
short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater
number of shares than they are required to purchase in the offering. "Covered"
short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters'
option to purchase additional shares from CoSine in the offering. The
underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their
option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In
determining the source of shares to close out the covered short position, the
underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available
for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may
purchase shares through the overallotment option. "Naked" short sales are any
sales in excess of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares from
CoSine. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing
shares on the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created
if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the
price of the common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely
affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist
of various bids for or purchases of common stock made by the underwriters in the
open market prior to the completion of the offering.
The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a
particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting
discount received
71
<PAGE> 73
by it because the representatives have repurchased shares sold by or for the
account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.
Purchases to cover a short position and stabilizing transactions may have
the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of CoSine's
stock, and together with the imposition of the penalty bid, may stabilize,
maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the common stock. As a result,
the price of the common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might
exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be
discontinued at any time. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq
National Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
The underwriters do not expect sales to discretionary accounts to exceed
five percent of the total number of shares offered.
The common stock will be quoted on the Nasdaq National Market under the
symbol "COSN".
Entities affiliated with Goldman, Sachs & Co. beneficially own an
aggregate of 798,859 shares of CoSine's series D preferred stock, which were
purchased for $3.505 per share, and 66,667 shares of CoSine's series E preferred
stock, which were purchased for $15.00 per share. Entities affiliated with Chase
Securities Inc. beneficially own an aggregate of 159,772 shares of Cosine's
series D preferred stock, which were purchased for $3.505 per share, and 9,333
shares of CoSine's series E preferred stock, which were purchased for $15.00 per
share. Entities affiliated with Goldman, Sachs & Co. and entities affiliated
with Chase Securities, Inc. have agreed that none of the shares of common stock
held by them upon conversion of the series D preferred stock will be sold,
transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 90 days following
the effective date of the offering, except to any underwriter or to officers or
partners of the underwriters, and members of the selling group or their officers
or partners. Entities affiliated with Goldman, Sachs & Co. and entities
affiliated with Chase Securities, Inc. have agreed that none of the shares of
common stock held by them upon conversion of the series E preferred stock will
be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of one year
following the effective date of the offering, except to any underwriter or to
officers or partners of the underwriters, and members of the selling group or
their officers or partners. Additionally, Access Technology Partners, L.P., a
fund of outside investors that is managed by an affiliate of Chase Securities
Inc., owns 639,087 shares of series D preferred stock, which were purchased for
$3.505 per share, and 37,333 shares of series E preferred stock, which were
purchased for $15.00 per share. Entities affiliated with Chase Securities Inc.
also hold warrants that are immediately exercisable to purchase 154,064 shares
of CoSine's series D preferred stock for $3.505 per share. Entities affiliated
with Chase Securities Inc. have agreed that none of the shares of common stock
held by them upon exercise of warrants to purchase shares of series D preferred
stock and upon conversion of the series D preferred stock will be sold,
transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 90 days following
the effective date of the offering, except to any underwriter or to officers or
partners of the underwriters, and members of the selling group or their officers
or partners.
A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the web sites
maintained by one or more underwriters. The underwriters may agree to allocate a
number of shares to underwriters for sale to their online brokerage account
holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the lead managers to
underwriters that may make Internet distributions on the same basis as other
allocations.
CoSine estimates that its share of the total expenses of the offering,
excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately
$3,000,000.
CoSine has agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
CoSine Communications, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CoSine
Communications, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 1998 and
1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations, redeemable
convertible preferred stock and stockholders' equity (net capital deficiency),
and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999 and for the
periods from inception (April 14, 1997) to December 31, 1997 and 1999. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of CoSine
Communications, Inc. (a development stage company) at December 31, 1998 and
1999, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999, and for the periods from inception
(April 14, 1997) to December 31, 1997 and 1999, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

(INFORMATION AS OF JUNE 30, 2000 AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1999 AND 2000 IS UNAUDITED)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
CoSine Communications, Inc. was incorporated in California on April 14,
1997 and is engaged in the development of network-based, high-performance
internet service delivery platforms for the global business IP Service Provider
market. Since inception, CoSine's principal activities have been recruiting
personnel, raising capital, and performing product development. Accordingly,
CoSine is classified as a development stage enterprise at December 31, 1999.
During the first half of 2000, CoSine began shipping product and
recognizing revenue, and therefore ceased to be classified as a development
stage enterprise.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of
CoSine and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated.
MANAGEMENT'S PLANS
As of December 31, 1999, CoSine had an accumulated deficit of
approximately $47.1 million. Even though CoSine began shipping product and
recognizing revenue in the first half of 2000, management expects to continue to
incur substantial operating losses for the foreseeable future primarily because
of expected increases in expenses for:
- Sales and marketing activities
- Research and product development activities
- General and administrative activities
CoSine does not have a credit facility or committed sources of capital. If
operating and capital resources are insufficient to meet future requirements,
CoSine will have to raise additional funds to continue the development and
commercialization of future technologies. These funds may not be available on
favorable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available on attractive
terms, CoSine may be required to curtail operations significantly or to obtain
funds by entering into financing, supply or operating agreements on unattractive
terms. CoSine may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or
strategic considerations even if it has sufficient funds for current or future
operating plans.
CoSine believes that its available cash, cash equivalents, and short-term
investments of $54.6 million as of December 31, 1999 plus the cash proceeds
raised from the issuance of series E redeemable convertible preferred stock (see
Note 11) will be adequate to fund its operations through December 31, 2000.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA INFORMATION
In February 2000, the Board of Directors authorized the management of
CoSine to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission permitting CoSine to sell shares of its common stock to the public.
If the initial public offering is consummated under the terms presently
anticipated, all of the convertible preferred stock outstanding, and certain of
the warrants to purchase common and preferred stock which are automatically
exercised upon the closing of an initial public offering of CoSine's common
stock, will automatically convert into common stock. Unaudited pro forma
stockholders' equity, as adjusted for the assumed conversion of the preferred
stock, and the automatic and assumed exercise of certain of the warrants to
purchase common and preferred stock, is shown on the consolidated balance sheet.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
(INFORMATION AS OF JUNE 30, 2000 AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1999 AND 2000 IS UNAUDITED)
INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA
The consolidated financial information at June 30, 2000 and for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 and 2000 is unaudited but has been prepared on the
same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion
of management, includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, that CoSine considers necessary for a fair presentation of the
consolidated financial position at these dates and the consolidated operating
results and cash flows for these periods. Results for the interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent
period.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results
could differ from these estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
CoSine generally recognizes product revenue at the time of shipment,
assuming that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is
fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable, unless CoSine has future
obligations for installation or has to obtain customer acceptance, in which case
revenue is deferred until these obligations are met. The Company's product
incorporates software that is not incidental to the related hardware and,
accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 97-2
"Software Revenue Recognition". For arrangements that include the delivery of
multiple products, the revenue is allocated to the various products based on
"vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value" ("VSOE"). The Company
establishes VSOE based on either the price charged for the product when the same
product is sold separately or for products not yet sold separately, based on the
prices of such products individually established by management with the relevant
authority to do so. In such cases, the Company believes that it is probable that
the price will not change before the separate introduction of the products into
the marketplace. Revenue from post-contract support obligations for specified
future periods is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the
service period. Revenue from consulting services is recognized as the services
are provided. Amounts billed in excess of revenue recognized are included as
deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
CoSine's initial customer was provided limited price protection rights
which expire in October 2000. CoSine believes that the likelihood of a price
adjustment is remote primarily because:
- our products are technologically advanced and of a unique design;
- we expect our products to have long sales and deployment cycles; and
- the length of time until the price protection rights expire is short compared
to the lengthy sale and deployment cycles.
During the six month period ended June 30, 2000, the Company issued
warrants to its initial customers. The warrants were issued upon receipt of
substantial purchase orders which were preceded by a period of cooperation with
the Company in the marketing, development and refinement of its product. The
fair value of these customer-related warrants was calculated to be $16.2

million. Approximately $3.7 million was recognized as an offset to gross revenue
during the six months ended June 30, 2000. The remaining $12.5 million will be
amortized in future periods as an offset to gross revenue to the extent of and
as the revenue associated with these orders is recognized.
COST OF SALES
Cost of goods sold is comprised primarily of material, labor, overhead and
estimated warranty reserves. In addition, cost of sales includes non-cash stock
based expense arising from the issuance suppliers of options to purchase common
stock.
WARRANTY RESERVES
The warranty period for CoSine's product is generally outlined in the
specific sales agreements. Estimated expenses for warranty obligations are
accrued as revenue is recognized and included in cost of goods sold.
CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
CoSine considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original
maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash
equivalents. Investments with maturities in excess of three months and less than
one year are considered to be short-term investments. Management determines the
appropriate classification of its cash equivalents and investment securities at
the time of purchase and reevaluates its determination as of each balance sheet
date. Management has classified CoSine's marketable securities as
available-for-sale securities in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses reported in a separate component of stockholders'
equity. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be
other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in interest
income. Interest on securities classified as available-for-sale is also included
in interest income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific
identification method.
CoSine invests its excess cash in U.S. government and agency securities,
debt instruments of financial institutions and corporations, and money market
funds with strong credit ratings. CoSine has established guidelines about the
diversification of its investments and their maturities which should maintain
safety and liquidity.
INVENTORIES
Inventories, stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market,
consist principally of raw materials at December 31, 1998 and 1999, and
work-in-process at June 30, 2000.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated
depreciation. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line
method over estimated useful lives of the assets (ranging from three to five
years) or the related lease term.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", CoSine reviews long-lived assets,
including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in
business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not
be fully recoverable. Under SFAS 121, an impairment loss would be recognized
when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of
the asset and its eventual disposition

is less than its carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is assessed using
discounted cash flows. Through December 31, 1999, there have been no impairment
losses.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development expenditures, consisting primarily of materials,
labor, and overhead costs for the development and testing of prototypes and
salaries and related personnel costs associated with independent research, are
generally charged to operations as incurred.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the
Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed," requires
the capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the
establishment of technological feasibility. Based on CoSine's product
development process, technological feasibility is established upon the
completion of a working model. Through December 31, 1999, capitalizable costs
incurred after achieving technological feasibility have not been significant for
any development project. Accordingly, CoSine has charged all costs to research
and development expense in the periods they were incurred.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
CoSine accounts for employee and director stock option grants using the
intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" which does not require the
recognition of compensation expense for options granted to employees and
directors with exercise prices equal to the fair value of the common stock at
the date of grant. The fair value disclosures required by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" are
included in Note 8. SFAS 123 requires the disclosure of pro forma information
about net loss and net loss per share as if CoSine had accounted for its stock
options under the fair value method.
Stock options granted to non-employees are accounted for in accordance
with SFAS 123 and the Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus No. 96-18,
"Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for
Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services" which requires the
value of the options to be periodically re-measured as they vest over a
performance period. The fair value of the options is determined using the Black-
Scholes model.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
As of January 1, 1998, CoSine adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". SFAS 130 requires
unrealized gains or losses on CoSine's available-for-sale securities to be
included in other comprehensive income. For the year ended December 31, 1999,
comprehensive loss was reduced by $11,000 in unrealized gains on
available-for-sale securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2000,
comprehensive loss was decreased by $3,000 in unrealized gains on
available-for-sale securities. For the period from the date of incorporation to
December 31, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1998, comprehensive loss
equaled net loss.
SEGMENT REPORTING
Effective January 1, 1998, CoSine adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information". SFAS 131 establishes annual and interim reporting
standards for an enterprise's operating segments and related disclosures about
its products, services, geographic areas and major customers.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
(INFORMATION AS OF JUNE 30, 2000 AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1999 AND 2000 IS UNAUDITED)
CoSine has determined that it operates in only one segment. Accordingly, the
adoption of SFAS 131 had no impact on CoSine's financial statements.
For the six months ended June 30, 2000, CoSine generated $5,609,000 of
gross revenue from a customer based in Europe. Approximately $500,000 of charges
associated with warrants issued to the customer upon issuance of a purchase
order was amortized as an offset to gross revenues during the six months ended
June 30, 2000. Substantially all of CoSine's assets are located in the United
States at December 31, 1998 and 1999 and at June 30, 2000.
SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATIONS
Financial instruments that potentially subject CoSine to concentrations of
credit risk primarily consist of cash equivalents and short-term investments
(see Note 2).
CoSine relies on a few companies as the sole source of various materials
in its production process. CoSine also utilizes a few third-party subcontractors
to manufacture all of the product that it sells. If these suppliers were unable
to satisfy CoSine's material and production requirements, CoSine may be unable
to meet customer demand.
For the six months ended June 30, 2000, two customers accounted for all of
CoSine's revenue.
ADVERTISING EXPENSE
The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. CoSine's advertising
costs through December 31, 1999 have been immaterial.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Financial
Instruments and for Hedging Activities" which provides a comprehensive and
consistent standard for the recognition and measurement of derivatives and
hedging activities. SFAS 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2000. CoSine will assess the impact of SFAS 133 if it uses derivatives or
conducts hedging activities.
In March 1998, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting
for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use". SOP
98-1 requires that entities capitalize some costs related to internal use
software once specific criteria have been met. CoSine adopted the provisions of
SOP 98-1 on January 1, 1999.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements". The
bulletin summarizes some of the commission's views in applying generally
accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements.
CoSine believes its revenue recognition policy complied with the bulletin as of
June 30, 2000.
In March 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue
00-2, "Accounting for the Costs of Developing a Web Site". In general, EITF 00-2
states that the costs of developing a web site should be accounted for under
provisions of Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." Although CoSine intends to
comply with EITF 00-2, the adoption of EITF 00-2 will not have a significant
impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows because
while CoSine maintains a website, it is not a significant focus of its business.
EITF 00-2 is effective for costs incurred after June 30, 2000.

(INFORMATION AS OF JUNE 30, 2000 AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1999 AND 2000 IS UNAUDITED)
In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation No. 44 "Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock
Compensation". FIN 44 provides guidance for certain issues arising in the
application of APB Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees".
CoSine believes that its accounting policy for stock issued to employees is in
compliance with FIN 44 as of June 30, 2000.
NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net loss per common share is calculated based on the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods
presented, less the weighted-average shares outstanding which are subject to
CoSine's right of repurchase. Diluted net loss per common share would give
effect to the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents consisting of
convertible preferred stock, stock options and warrants (calculated using the
treasury stock method). Potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from
the diluted net loss per common share computations as their inclusion would be
antidilutive.
The computation of pro forma basic and diluted net loss per common share
includes shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding shares of
convertible preferred stock (using the as-if converted method) from the original
date of issuance. Shares issuable upon exercise of some of CoSine's warrants for
common and preferred stock, which are automatically exercised upon closing of an
initial public offering, do not affect the computation, because the shares are
issued on the date of the assumed conversion.

CoSine subleases a portion of the space at its facility. Rental income
relating to the sublease was $0 for the period from inception (April 14, 1997)
to December 31, 1997, $13,000 in 1998 and $323,000 in 1999. The sublease
arrangements, which expire on June 30, 2001, provide for income of $531,000 in
2000 and $261,000 in 2001.
For its facility lease, CoSine has issued a noninterest-bearing promissory
note due January 2001 for approximately $222,000 relating to a security deposit,
which is included in other long-term liabilities at December 31, 1999.
During the six months ended June 30, 2000, CoSine leased additional

5. EQUIPMENT AND WORKING CAPITAL LOANS
As of December 31, 1999, CoSine has entered into equipment and working
capital loan agreements totaling $9,854,000 that are secured by the assets
purchased using the loans. Principal and interest are due in monthly
installments through 2003. Interest accrues at annual rates between 12.9% and
14.1%. As of December 31, 1999, total principal payments due under these
agreements are $8,311,000. The fair value of the loans is estimated based on
current interest rates available to CoSine for debt instruments with similar
terms, degrees of risk, and remaining maturities. The carrying value of the
loans approximates their fair value.
Future minimum principal payments under these equipment and working capital
loans at December 31, 1999 are as follows:

CoSine has a defined contribution benefit plan established under the
provisions of section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. All employees may
elect to contribute up to 20% of their compensation to the plan through salary
deferrals, subject to IRS limits. CoSine may contribute a discretionary matching

share, or at the election of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding
shares of series A convertible preferred stock.
Series A convertible preferred stock is not redeemable by CoSine.
The series A convertible preferred stockholders have voting rights equal
to the common shares issuable upon conversion. In addition, the holders of

the class are outstanding).
Series A convertible preferred stock ranks senior to the common stock as
to dividends. Each fiscal year, series A convertible stockholders are entitled
to cumulative dividends of $0.16 per share. Dividends will be paid only when
declared by the board of directors, out of legally available funds. No dividends
have been declared.

of approximately $5 million or $8.00 per share. At the date of issuance, CoSine
believed the per share price of $8.00 represented the fair value of the
preferred stock. After CoSine's initial public offering process began, CoSine
reevaluated the fair value of its common stock as of March 2000. Accordingly,
the increase in fair value has resulted in a beneficial conversion feature of
$2.5 million, which has been recorded as a deemed dividend to preferred
stockholders in 2000. CoSine recorded the deemed dividend at the date of
issuance by offsetting charges and credits to stockholders' equity. The
preferred stock dividend increases the net loss allocable to common stockholders
in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per common share for the six
months ended June 30, 2000.
RESERVED SHARES
At December 31, 1999, CoSine has reserved a total of 159,105 shares of
series A convertible preferred stock, 694,444 shares of series B convertible
preferred stock, 641,904 shares of series C convertible preferred stock, and
154,064 shares of series D convertible preferred stock for issuance under
warrant agreements. As of December 31, 1999, warrants were outstanding and
exercisable for similar amounts of shares of series A, B, C, and D preferred
stock.
COMMON STOCK
In September 1997, January and February 1998, 6,666,664 shares of common
stock were issued to founders of CoSine for cash and full-recourse notes. The
outstanding shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions. These shares
are also subject to repurchase at the issuance price upon termination of
employment. CoSine's right of repurchase expires ratably over periods ranging
from 3 to 4 years.
As of December 31, 1999, 1,666,666 shares of common stock issued to the
two founders are subject to repurchase.
CoSine issued 4,023,820 shares of common stock in 1999 and 9,047,564
shares of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2000, upon stock
option exercises for cash and notes.
At December 31, 1999, CoSine has reserved shares of common stock for future
issuance as follows:

STOCK DIVIDEND
In May 1998, a stock dividend was authorized for the issuance of three
common shares for every common share held on the record date (effectively a
4-for-1 stock split). As a result, the conversion price for series A preferred
stock was reduced from $1.60 to $0.40. Holders of options for shares of common
stock on the record date are entitled to receive four times the number of shares
of common stock for the same aggregate price upon exercise. The stock dividend

accounted for as a stock split and common share numbers have been adjusted
accordingly.
1997 STOCK OPTION PLAN
In October 1997, the board of directors adopted the 1997 stock plan for
issuance of common stock and grants of options for common stock to employees,
consultants and directors. Incentive stock options granted under the plan are at
prices not less than the fair value of stock at the date of grant, except in the
case of a sale to a person who owns stock representing more than 10% of all the
voting power of all classes of stock of CoSine, in which case the purchase price
will be 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.
Nonstatutory stock options granted under the plan are at prices not less than
85% of the fair value of stock at the date of grant, except in the case of a
sale to a person who owns stock representing more than 10% of all the voting
power of all classes of stock of CoSine, in which case the purchase price will
be 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.
Options granted under the plan generally vest over four years at a rate of 25%
one year from the grant date and ratably monthly thereafter and expire ten years
after the grant, or earlier upon termination. Options may be granted with
different vesting terms.
The plan also allows for the exercise of options before vesting and the
related issuance of restricted stock that is subject to right of repurchase by
CoSine. The right of repurchase generally lapses at the rate noted above. An
aggregate 2,782,227 and 10,412,422 shares of common stock acquired through the
exercise of options are subject to repurchase at an aggregate repurchase price
of $1,485,000 as of December 31, 1999 and $20,280,000 as of June 30, 2000.
As discussed in Note 1, CoSine has elected to follow APB 25 and related
interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB 25, when
the exercise price of CoSine's employee stock options equals the fair value of
the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is
recognized.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
During the year ended December 31, 1999 and the six months ended June 30,
2000, CoSine issued stock options to employees with exercise prices which it
believed represented the fair value of the stock. In March 2000, after CoSine
began the initial offering process, CoSine reevaluated

the fair value of its common stock. In connection with the reevaluation, CoSine
recorded deferred stock compensation for these stock option grants of
$33,955,000 in the year ended December 31, 1999 and $55,496,000 in the six
months ended June 30, 2000 representing the difference between the fair value of
the common stock for financial reporting purposes and the exercise price of the
underlying options. This amount is recorded as a reduction of stockholders'
equity and is being amortized over the vesting period of the individual options,
generally four years, using the graded vesting method. CoSine recorded
amortization of deferred stock compensation of $3,569,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1999 and $19,766,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
During the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999 and the six months ended
June 30, 2000, CoSine granted common stock options to nonemployees at exercise
prices that range from $0.15 to $9.50 per share for services provided to CoSine.
These options are included in the option tables disclosed above. The options
generally vest over four years at a rate of 25% one year from the grant date and
ratably monthly thereafter and expire ten years after the grant date. CoSine
recognized expense of $211,000 in 1999 and $708,000 during the six months ended
June 30, 2000, for these transactions. The related expense in 1998 was not
material. The fair value of these options is periodically re-measured as they
vest over the performance period and was estimated using the Black-Scholes model
with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 5%, expected life of
10 years, a dividend yield of zero, and an expected volatility of CoSine's
common stock of 0.6.
PRO FORMA INFORMATION
Pro forma information about net loss and net loss per share is required by
FAS 123, which also requires the information to be determined as if CoSine has
accounted for its employee stock options granted under the fair value method of
that statement. The fair value of CoSine's options was estimated at the grant
date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
assumptions: volatility of 0.6, risk-free interest rate of 5%, an expected life
of four years, and a dividend yield of zero. The weighted-average fair value of
options granted during 1998 and 1999 was $0.02 and $2.92, respectively.
Pro forma information is as follows:

WARRANTS
In November 1998, in connection with consulting services, CoSine issued
warrants to purchase 43,067 shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable
at any time at $0.15 per share and expire on the earlier of ten years following
the issue date or a corporate reorganization. The warrants are automatically
exercised upon the closing of an initial public offering or other defined
events. The warrants have a variable measurement date and accordingly they are
periodically revalued based on the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force
Consensus No. 96-18. The warrants vest over a period of four years and their
fair value was calculated to be $260,000 at December 31, 1999 and $479,000 at
June 30, 2000 using the Black-Scholes valuation method, utilizing a volatility
factor of 0.6, risk-free interest rate of 5%, and an initial expected life of 10
years. The fair value of the warrants is being amortized over the expected life
of the warrants.
In August 1998, in connection with a facilities lease arrangement, CoSine
issued warrants to purchase 157,915 shares of series A preferred stock. The
warrants are exercisable at any time at no cost to the holder and expire on the
earlier of five years following the issue date or a corporate reorganization.
The warrants have a variable measurement date and accordingly they are
periodically revalued based on the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force
Consensus No. 96-18. The warrants vest over a period of one year and their fair
value was calculated to be $767,000 at December 31, 1999 using the Black-Scholes
valuation method, utilizing a volatility factor of 0.6, risk-free interest rate

and $30,000 as of December 31, 1999, from officers of CoSine. In addition, the
notes are secured by a pledge of CoSine's common stock and bear an annual
interest at 6.13%. The notes and interest accrued but unpaid are due and payable
during 2008.
As of December 31, 1999, CoSine had full recourse promissory notes
totaling $873,000 from employees of CoSine for the payment of stock option
exercises (none at December 31, 1998). Yearly interest on the notes ranges from

In 1999, CoSine issued 18,604 shares of common stock to a firm of
immigration attorneys in lieu of compensation. A partner of that firm is a
relative of an officer of CoSine.
10. INCOME TAXES
Due to operating losses and CoSine's inability to recognize an income tax
benefit from these losses, there is no provision for income taxes for the period
from inception (April 14, 1997) to December 31, 1997, and for the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1999.
The difference between the provision (benefit) for income taxes and the
amount computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate to income
(loss) before taxes is explained below:

Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109 provides for the
recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of the deferred tax assets is
more likely than not. Based upon the weight of available evidence, which
includes CoSine's historical operating performance and the reported cumulative
net losses in all prior years, CoSine has provided a full valuation allowance
against its net deferred tax assets.
The valuation allowance increased by $10,530,000 in 1998 and $3,925,000 in
1999.
As of December 31, 1999, CoSine had federal and state net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $25,600,000 and $28,900,000, respectively. As of
December 31, 1999, CoSine also had federal and state research and development
tax credit carryforwards of approximately $600,000 and $500,000, respectively.
The net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards will expire at various dates
beginning in 2005, if not utilized.
Use of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject
to substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations
provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and similar state provisions. The
annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards before utilization.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
CAPITAL LEASES
During the six months ended June 30, 2000, CoSine entered into various
capital leases under sale and leaseback agreements to finance the purchase of
computer and other equipment. Capitalized costs of $5,625,000 and accumulated
amortization of $215,000 are included in property and equipment at June 30,
2000.
Future minimum payments under this capital lease as of June 30, 2000 are

SERIES E REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
On May 10, 2000, CoSine sold 4,666,667 shares of series E redeemable
convertible preferred stock at $15.00 per share. The shares automatically
convert into common stock upon the closing of an underwritten public offering of
common stock in which CoSine receives gross proceeds of at least $15,000,000,
and the price per share is at least $7.00. The conversion price upon the closing
of an underwritten public offering is $15.00 per share. If the offering price is
less than $15.00 per share, the conversion price will be reduced to the actual
offering price. However, it will not be reduced to less than $7.00 per share.
The shares are redeemable on substantially the same terms as those described
above for series D (Note 8) except that the redemption price will be the higher
of $15.00 per share or the fair market value of the shares as determined by a
qualified independent appraiser. Series E redeemable convertible preferred stock
ranks senior to Series A preferred stock and pari passu with Series B, C and D
preferred stock as to liquidation preference.

2000 STOCK OPTION PLAN
In May 2000, the board of directors adopted the 2000 Stock Plan (2000
Plan), which will be submitted to the stockholders for approval before
completion of the initial public offering. The 2000 Plan provides for the grant
of incentive stock options to employees, and for the grant of nonstatutory stock
options and stock purchase rights to employees, directors and consultants.
Incentive stock options granted under the 2000 Plan will be at prices not less
than the fair value of the common stock at the date of grant.
The term of each option will be determined by the administrator of the
plan, generally 10 years or less.
Shares issued under the plan are subject to repurchase rights at a rate to
be determined by the administrator.
If the initial public offering is completed, 2,500,000 shares of common
stock, plus the number of shares reserved and unissued under the 1997 Stock
Plan, will be reserved for issuance under the 2000 Plan.
2000 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
In May 2000, the board of directors adopted the 2000 Employee Stock
Purchase (Purchase Plan), which will be effective upon the closing of the
initial public offering if it is approved by the stockholders. The Purchase Plan
is intended to qualify under the provisions of section 423 of the 1986 Internal
Revenue Code of the United States. A total of 2,500,000 shares have been
reserved for issuance under the Purchase Plan. Under the terms of the Purchase
Plan, employees may contribute via payroll deductions up to 10% of their
compensation to purchase shares at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the fair
market value of the common stock at the beginning of the offering period or at
the end of the offering period.
2000 DIRECTOR OPTION PLAN
In May 2000, the board of directors adopted the 2000 Director Option Plan
(Director's Plan), which will be effective upon the closing of the initial
public offering if it is approved by the stockholders. A total number of 400,000
shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the Director's
Plan.
The Director's Plan will automatically grant an option to purchase 80,000
shares of common stock to each non-employee director when he or she is first
elected to CoSine's board of directors following completion of this offering.
The Director's Plan also provides that each non-employee director who has been a
member of the board of directors for at least six months before the date of the
annual stockholders' meeting will receive an automatic annual grant of options
to acquire 20,000 shares of common stock.
The options will have an exercise price per share equal to the fair market
value of common stock at the date of grant and will have a term of ten years.
Initial options vest and become exercisable in four equal annual increments
immediately following the date of grant. Later options vest and become
exercisable on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On June 6, 2000, Ericsson Inc. filed a complaint against CoSine and five
of its employees in the Superior Court of Wake County in North Carolina. The
complaint alleged that CoSine misappropriated trade secrets known to the five
employees who had recently left Ericsson's employ and that CoSine induced the
employees to breach their contractual obligations to Ericsson. The complaint
seeks injunctive relief and unspecified monetary damages, as well as punitive
and treble damages.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Sections 145(a) and (b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permit us
to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact
that the person is or was one of our directors, officers, employees or agents,
or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the
person if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person's
conduct was unlawful; provided, that with respect to actions or suits brought on
our behalf, the person may only be indemnified with respect to expenses
(including attorneys' fees) and may not be indemnified with respect to any
claim, issue or matter for which the person is adjudged to be liable unless a
court determines otherwise. Under Section 145(c), to the extent that one of our
present or former directors or officers is successful on the merits or otherwise
in defense of any of these actions, suits or proceedings, or in defense of any
claim, issue or matter, the director or officer shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) that the director or officer actually and
reasonably incurs because of the action, suit or proceeding. Section 145 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to include in its charter
documents, and in agreements between the corporation and its directors and
officers, provisions expanding the scope of indemnification beyond that
specifically provided by the current law.
Article XI of our certificate of incorporation requires us to indemnify our
directors, officers, employees and agents if permitted by law. Article XI also
requires us or our stockholders, if permitted by Delaware law, to indemnify our
directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.
Article VI of our bylaws requires us to indemnify our directors, officers,
employees, and agents if permitted by Sections 145(a) and (b) of the Delaware
General Corporation Law. Article VI also provides that, to the extent that a
director, officer, employee or agent has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any such action, suit or proceeding, or in
II-1
<PAGE> 111
defense of any claim, issue or matter, we shall indemnify the person for his
reasonable expenses incurred because of his defense.
In addition to the indemnification provided for in our restated certificate
of incorporation and bylaws, we intend to enter into indemnification agreements
with our existing and future directors and officers. We also intend to obtain,
as permitted by Article VI of our bylaws, liability insurance for the benefit of
our directors and officers.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
We hereby undertake to provide to the Underwriters at the closing specified
in the Underwriting Agreement certificates in such denominations and registered
in such names as required by the Underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each
purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification by Registrant for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of Registrant pursuant to the provisions referenced in Item 14 of this
Registration Statement or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore,
unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such liabilities other
than the payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer, or controlling person of Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding is asserted by a director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, Registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
Registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
the information omitted from the form of Prospectus filed as part of this
Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form
of Prospectus filed by Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or
497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of Prospectus shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
