NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1999
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The information at June 30, 1998 and 1999 and for the three and six
month periods then ended is unaudited, but includes all adjustments (consisting
only of normal, recurring adjustments) which the Company's management believes
to be necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of
operations, and changes in cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported
periods. Despite management's best effort to establish good faith estimates and
assumptions, and to manage the achievement of the same, actual results may
differ. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current period presentation.
Momentum Business Applications, Inc. ("Momentum Business Applications")
was consolidated with the Company's results through March 15, 1999. The
Consolidated Statement of Operations includes Momentum Business Applications'
results through that date. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 1999
excludes the accounts of Momentum Business Applications.
The accompanying interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes
included in the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders (Form 10-K) for the year
ended December 31, 1998. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the
Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. Interim results of
operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of operating results or performance levels that can be
expected for the full fiscal year.
2. PER SHARE DATA
Basic income per share is computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is
computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common
equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares
consist of the shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants
(using the treasury stock method). Common equivalent shares of 17.7 million are
excluded from the computation for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 as
their effect is antidilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of
basic and diluted income per share (in thousands except per share amounts):

3. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable are comprised of billed receivables arising from
recognized and deferred revenues, and unbilled receivables, which include
accrued license fees for payments not yet due and accrued services. The Company
does not require collateral for its receivables. Reserves are maintained for
potential losses. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and
1999 actual loss experience has been within management's estimates. Future
credit losses may differ from the Company's estimates and could have a material
impact on the Company's future results of operations. The principal components
of accounts receivable at December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1999 were as follows

4. DEFERRED REVENUE
Deferred revenue is comprised of deferrals for license fees,
maintenance, training and other services. Due to uncertainties surrounding
product acceptance in the second quarter of 1999, the Company deferred revenue
totaling approximately $10 million for two business units. The Company has not
yet determined the date that such revenue can be recognized. Long term deferred
revenue represents amounts received for maintenance and support services to be
provided beginning in periods on or after July 1, 2000. The principal components
of deferred revenue at December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1999 were as follows (in
thousands):

5. TRANSFER OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
The Company transfers the accounts receivable under certain software
license and service agreements with customers to financing institutions, on a
non-recourse basis. The Company records such transfers as sales of the related
accounts receivable when it is considered to have surrendered control of such
receivables under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities." The Company does not maintain any servicing
obligations under these arrangements.
6. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The Company has determined that the functional currency of each foreign
operation is the local currency. The effects of translation rate changes related
to assets and liabilities located outside the United States are included as a
component of stockholders' equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses
are included in Other income, interest expense and other on the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations. Through the second quarter of 1999, such
gains and losses have not been significant.
The Company has a hedging program designed to mitigate the potential for
future adverse impact on intercompany balances due to changes in foreign
exchange rates. The program uses forward foreign exchange contracts as the
vehicle for hedging these intercompany balances. In general, these forward
foreign exchange contracts have terms of three months or less. The Company
currently settles all of its hedge contracts on the last day of the second month
of each quarter and concurrently opens new contracts to cover the upcoming
quarter. Gains and losses on the settled contracts are recognized as other
income or expense in the current period, consistent with the period in which the
gain or loss of the underlying transaction is recognized. The Company recorded
net losses from these settled contracts and underlying foreign currency
exposures of approximately $0.1
7
<PAGE> 8
million for the three month period ended June 30, 1998. No net losses from
settled contracts were recorded for the three month period ended June 30, 1999.
The Company recorded net losses from settled contracts of $1.0 million and $0.4
million for the six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively. At
December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1999, hedge positions totaled $11.0 million and
$20.7 million, respectively. At June 30, 1999, the Company had forward foreign
exchange contracts denominated in Euros, Singapore dollars and New Zealand
dollars. At June 30, 1999, each of these contracts has a maturity date of
September 2, 1999 and a book value that approximates market value. The foreign
exchange hedging program is managed in accordance with a corporate policy
approved by the Company's Board of Directors.
In addition to hedging existing transaction exposures, the Company's
foreign exchange management policy allows for the hedging of anticipated
transactions, and exposures resulting from the translation of foreign subsidiary
financial results into U.S. dollars. Such hedges can only be undertaken to the
extent that the exposures are highly certain, reasonably estimable, and
significant in amount. No such hedges have occurred through June 30, 1999. These
hedges will only be undertaken should the Company deem them necessary to protect
the U.S. dollar value of the underlying exposure. The Company expects that
hedges of such anticipated transactions and translation exposures will be done
in the future using forward and option contracts.
7. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," ("SFAS
131") on January 1, 1998. SFAS 131 establishes standards for the way in which
public companies disclose certain information about operating segments in the
Company's financial reports.
Based on the criteria of SFAS 131, the Company identified its operating
committee as the chief operating decision-makers. The Company's operating
committee evaluated revenue performance based on three segments: domestic,
international and middle market. The middle market segment does not meet
materiality requirements of the statement and thus is not required to be
separately disclosed. Data for the two remaining segments is presented below.
Within the operating committee, employee headcount and operating costs are
managed by functional areas, rather than by revenue segments, and are only
reviewed by the operating committee on a company-wide basis. In addition, the
Company does not account for or report to the operating committee its assets or
capital expenditures by any segment other than the geographic segments, as
disclosed below.

8. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
In May 1999, the Company acquired the assets and assumed certain
liabilities of TriMark Technologies, Inc. ("TriMark"). The assets acquired
included Transcend, TriMark's UNIX based client/server administration solution
for annuity and life insurance processing. This enterprise software application
automates the complete cycle of the insurance contract. The Company paid an
aggregate purchase price of $29.9 million. The acquisition was accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of
operations are included in the financial statements since the acquisition date,
and the assets and liabilities have been recorded based upon their fair values
at the date of acquisition. Significant components of the $29.9 million purchase
price included
8
<PAGE> 9
issuance of common stock with a fair value of $18.1 million, issuance of common
stock options to TriMark employees with a fair value of $8.2 million, and
forgiveness of debt of $3.6 million.
The Company has allocated the excess purchase price over the fair value
of net tangible assets acquired to the following identifiable intangible assets:
$10.6 million to completed product and technology, $4.9 million to customer
list, $.4 million to assembled workforce, and $14.1 million to goodwill. The
capitalized intangible assets will be amortized over their estimated useful
lives of three to five years.
In performing this allocation, the Company considered, among other
factors, its intentions for future use of the acquired assets and analyses of
historical financial performance and estimates of future performance of
TriMark's product. The Company determined that technological feasibility had
been reached for the Transcend product prior to the date of acquisition and
therefore, none of the purchase price was allocated to in-process research and
development. The projected incremental cash flows were discounted back to their
present value using discount rate of 20% for developed technology. This discount
rate was determined after consideration of the Company's cost of capital, the
weighted average return on assets, venture capital rates of return, and revenue
growth assumptions. Associated risks include achieving anticipated levels of
market acceptance and penetration, market growth rates and risks related to the
impact of potential changes in future target markets.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The acquisition of Distinction Software, Inc. ("Distinction") was
completed in early August 1999 with the Company acquiring all of Distinction's
outstanding equity interests for approximately $12 million in common stock. The
transaction will be recorded in the Company's third quarter and will be
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method
of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the net assets acquired,
including in-process research and development, if applicable, based on their
fair values. The valuation to determine the fair value of the net assets
acquired has not been completed. Accordingly, the Company cannot estimate the
amount of the in-process research and development but believes it will not be a
significant portion of the purchase price.

REVENUES
The Company licenses software under non-cancelable license agreements
and provides services including training, installation, consulting and
maintenance, consisting of product support services and periodic updates.
License fee revenues are generally recognized when a non-cancelable license
agreement has been signed, the software product has been shipped, there are no
uncertainties surrounding product acceptance, the fees are fixed and
determinable, and collection is considered probable. For customer license
agreements, which meet these recognition criteria, the portion of fees related
to software licenses will generally be recognized in the current period, while
the portion of the fees related to services is recognized as the services are
performed. When the Company enters into a license agreement with a customer
requiring significant customization of the software products, the Company
recognizes revenue related to the license agreement using contract accounting.
The Company allocates a portion of contractual license fees to post-contract
support activities covered under its contracts including first year maintenance,
installation assistance and limited training services. Revenues from maintenance
agreements are recognized ratably over the maintenance period, which in most
instances is one year.
Revenues from licensing fees decreased by 61% from $148.5 million in the
three month period ended June 30, 1998 to $57.9 million for the same period in
1999. Year to date, licensing fees decreased 53% from $285.5 million in 1998 to
$134.5 million in 1999. The decrease in license fee revenues was attributable to
an industry wide slowdown in customer license sales, in part as a result of Year
2000 projects in process at many organizations, as well as those other factors
described in Factors That May Affect Future Results. In addition, due to
uncertainties arising from product related issues in the second quarter of 1999,
the Company deferred revenue totaling approximately $10 million for two business
units. The Company has not yet determined the date that these revenues can be
recognized. Additional deferred revenues may result in future quarters for any
sales contracts which the Company believes may be impacted by certain product
related issues. In the first half of 1999, the Company's deferred license
revenue increased by $5.1 million, due primarily to the $10 million of deferrals
related to product related issues, partially offset by other items.
The reported deferred license revenue amounts do not include items which
are both deferred and unbilled. The Company's practice is to net such deferred
items against the related receivables balances. As of December 31, 1998 and June
30, 1999, $29.2 million and $29.5 million in unbilled receivables was netted
against deferred license revenue, respectively.

<PAGE> 12
Revenues from services increased by 45% from $172.0 million in the three
month period ended June 30, 1998 to $248.7 million for the same period in 1999.
Year to date service revenues increased by 53% from $312.7 million in 1998 to
$477.0 million in 1999. Service revenues as a percentage of total revenues were
54% and 80% for the quarters ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively and 52%
and 77% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively. The
increase in the relative percentage of service revenues to total revenues in
these periods was attributable to three primary factors: increases in the
installed base of customers receiving ongoing maintenance, training and other
support services from approximately 2,545 customers as of June 30, 1998 to 3,150
as of June 30, 1999, $110.7 million increase in consulting revenue, as a
result of expanded demand for the Company's consulting services in enterprise
implementation projects, and the decrease in license revenue of 61% and 53% in
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999, respectively.
Per the terms of the development contract with Momentum Business
Applications, the Company performed development services on behalf on Momentum
Business Applications during the first half of 1999. The Company recognized $5.6
million and $6.2 million for such services during the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1999. Momentum Business Applications pays the Company one
hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Company's fully burdened costs relating to
the research and development provided by the Company. The Company recognized
this as revenue from development services.
Total revenues decreased from $320.5 million in the three month period
ended June 30, 1998 to $312.2 million for the same period in 1999. Year to date
total revenues increased 3% from $598.2 million in 1998 to $617.6 million in
1999. For the quarters ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, the Company's international
revenues were approximately 14% and 24% of total revenues, respectively.
Revenues from international operations increased 64% from $46.4 million in the
three month period ended June 30, 1998 to $76.0 million in the same quarter in
1999. The revenues from Europe represented 12% of total revenues. No other
region had revenues greater than 10% of total revenues. The dollar increase in
international revenues resulted from expanded international operations and the
introduction of Release 7.5, which incorporated additional global features and
functionality.
COSTS AND EXPENSES
Cost of license fees consists principally of royalties, technology
access fees for certain third party software products and amortization of
capitalized software development costs. Cost of license fees decreased 19% from
$11.0 million in the three month period ended June 30, 1998 to $8.9 million for
the same period in 1999, representing 3% of total revenues in each quarter and
7% and 15% of license fee revenues in each quarter, respectively. The Company
billed $2 million of royalty costs to Momentum Business Applications in the
second quarter, representing the royalty costs incurred for products now
licensed from Momentum Business Applications. Cost of license fees in the six
month period ended June 30, 1998 and 1999 were $22.2 million and $20.9 million,
respectively and represented 4% and 3% of total revenues and 8% and 16% of
license fee revenues in the six month period ended June 30, 1998 and 1999,
respectively. Royalty costs in the first quarter of 1998 included a one time
$2.5 million buy out of royalty fees related to providing certain technology
embedded in Release 7.5 to its existing customer installed base. Cost of license
fees for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 includes
$1.4 million per quarter in amortization of purchased software acquired through
the business combination with Intrepid Systems, Inc. in October 1998. The
Company expects to amortize approximately $1.4 million per quarter through the
third quarter of 2003 for this software. An additional $.4 million in
amortization of purchased software was incurred during the quarter ended June
30, 1999 related to intangible assets acquired in the business combination with
TriMark Technologies, Inc. The Company expects to amortize $.7 million per
quarter through the second quarter of 2003. However, in the event the related
forecasted revenues are not realized, the related capitalized amounts of the
software purchased in the above business combinations may be expensed over a
shorter period. Cost of license fees has grown as a percentage of license
revenues due to royalty agreements related to OLAP tools embedded within the
Company's products and royalties related to the Student Administration and
Treasury products. The Company's system solutions are based on a combination of
internally developed technology and application software products, as well as
bundled third party software products and technology. Cost of license fees as a
percentage of license fee revenues may fluctuate from period to period due
principally to the mix of sales of royalty-bearing software products in each
period and seasonal fluctuations in revenues contrasted with certain fixed
expenses such as the amortization of capitalized software development and
purchase costs and fixed dollar
12
<PAGE> 13
royalty agreements. Royalties associated with certain software products
currently under development by joint business arrangements and charges
associated with software products and technologies acquired from various third
party vendors may cause the cost of license fees as a percentage of license fee
revenues to increase in future periods.
Cost of services consists principally of expenses relating to
consulting, customer care center administrative support, account management
field support, training, and product support. These costs increased 26% from
$98.2 million in the three month period ended June 30, 1998 to $123.7 million
for the same period in 1999, representing 31% and 40% of total revenues in each
quarter, respectively; and 57% and 50% of service revenues in each of those
quarters, respectively. Costs increased by 35% from $185.0 million in the six
month period ended June 30, 1998 to $248.9 million for the same period in 1999,
representing 31% and 40% of total revenues and 59% and 52% of services revenues
in those periods, respectively. The increase in cost of services is due to
significant expansion of the Company's customer service resources, including
consulting, telephone support, training, and customer care center administrative
support. In particular, the Company has made a significant investment in its
professional consulting services organization which has grown substantially over
the past two years in response to customer demand. The decrease of cost of
services as a percentage of service revenues is due to cost containment and
efficiency initiatives. The Company anticipates cost of services will increase
in dollar amount, and may increase as a percentage of total revenues and service
revenues, in future periods.
Sales and marketing expenses increased by 13% from $81.4 million in the
three month period ended June 30, 1998 to $92.1 million for the same period in
1999, representing 26% and 29% of total revenues in each period, respectively.
These expenses increased by 14% from $151.3 million in the six month period
ended June 30, 1998 to $172.0 million for the same period in 1999, representing
25% and 28% of total revenues in each period, respectively. Sales and marketing
expenses may increase as a percentage of total revenues in future periods as the
Company increases its marketing and advertising costs. In addition, the Company
may choose to invest in sales resources for new product areas(1).
Software product development expenses increased by 15% from $54.2
million in the three month period ended June 30, 1998 to $62.5 million for the
same period in 1999, representing 17% and 20% of total revenues in each quarter,
respectively. These expenses increased by 26% from $99.8 million in the six
month period ended June 30, 1998 to $125.7 million for the same period in 1999,
representing 17% and 20% of total revenues in each period, respectively.
Software product development expenditure consists of costs related to the
Company's staff of software developers and outside consultants, and the
associated infrastructure costs required to support software product development
initiatives in the following areas: (i) expansion and enhancement of the
Company's core software product offerings in the areas of Enterprise Performance
Management, internet focused enhancements to the eBackbone such as eCommerce
capabilities and HTML clients, internet based communities, HRMS, Financial
Management Systems, and Distribution/Materials Management Systems and Supply
Chain Management software; (ii) the enhancement of the Company's platform
development, certification, software product testing and overall release
management capabilities; (iii) the continued enhancement of the Company's
client/server and internet architectures including its software development
tools and the integration of these tools with various third party purchased or
licensed technologies; (iv) the localization and translation of certain versions
of the Company's software products for specific foreign markets; and (v) the
development of certain industry market products and versions of its core
products suitable to the unique needs of customers within certain industries.
General and administrative expenses increased 12% from $17.4 million in
the three month period ended June 30, 1998 to $19.4 million for the same period
in 1999, representing 5% and 6% of total revenues in each quarter, respectively.
These expenses increased by 26% from $30.6 million in the six month period ended
June 30, 1998 to $38.6 million for the same period in 1999, representing 5% and
6% of total revenues respectively. The increase in general and administrative
expenses resulted primarily from the 4% increase in the staffing from June 30,
1998 to support the Company's growth. Additionally, included in the first half
of 1999 are legal expenses, facilities project costs, and additional bad debt
write offs which were greater than the prior period.
During the first quarter of 1999, the Company redeployed approximately
100 employees to new product development, global product support, and other
strategic customer value added programs. Additionally, PeopleSoft eliminated
approximately 430 staff from other redundant and unnecessary positions primarily
in the administration, sales support, and marketing support areas.
13
<PAGE> 14
The reduction in staff represented approximately 6 percent of the Company's
total workforce with over 90 percent of the reductions in North America. The
Company incurred a one-time charge of $4.4 million for the separation
arrangements.
During 1998, PeopleSoft formed a new company, Momentum Business
Applications, to select and develop certain software application products, and
to commercialize such products, most likely through licensing to the Company.
The Company contributed $250.0 million to Momentum Business Applications and
distributed all of the outstanding shares of Momentum Business Applications
Class A Common Stock to the Company's shareholders. At December 31, 1998, the
Company recorded a dividend for the stock distribution based on the fair value
of Momentum Business Applications stock on the date of the distribution.
Momentum Business Applications was consolidated with the Company's financial
position, results of operations and cash flows as of December 31, 1998. During
the first quarter of 1999, Momentum Business Applications no longer met the
requirements for consolidation. As a result, the Company incurred a charge of
$176.4 million, which represents the $250.0 million contribution less the $78.6
million dividend recorded as of December 31, 1998, investment banker fees of
$2.9 million and other expenses related to the formation of Momentum Business
Applications, and expenses incurred by Momentum Business Applications while
consolidated with the Company.
Operating margins for the three month period ended June 30, 1999
decreased to 0.1% compared to 18.2% for the same period last year. Operating
margins for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 decreased to .9% (excluding
the impact of the charges related to Momentum Business Applications and the
reduction in force) compared to 18.3% for the same period in 1998.
Other income, consisting primarily of interest, decreased from $4.9
million in the three month period ended June 30, 1998 to $4.4 million for the
same quarter in 1999, and increased from $8.4 million in the six month period
ended June 30, 1998 to $11.3 million for the same period in 1999. The year to
date increase was due to higher average cash balances and higher pre-tax return
on investments based on a shift into higher yield taxable securities. The
Company expects other income to continue to decrease in the future due to the
$250 million cash contribution to Momentum Business Applications, which was
consolidated with the Company's results through March 15, 1999 but is excluded
from the Company's consolidated financial position after that date.
TRIMARK TECHNOLOGIES, INC ("TriMark")
In May 1999, the Company acquired the assets and assumed certain
liabilities of TriMark. The Company paid an aggregate purchase price of $29.9
million. The assets acquired included Transcend, TriMark's UNIX based
client/server administration solution for annuity and life insurance processing.
This enterprise software application automates the complete cycle of the
insurance contract.
The Company allocated the purchase price to the fair value of the net
tangible assets and identified intangible assets acquired. In performing this
allocation, the Company considered, among other factors, intentions for future
use of the acquired assets and analyses of historical financial performance and
estimates of future performance of TriMark's product. The Company determined
that technological feasibility had been reached for the Transcend product prior
to the date of acquisition and, therefore, none of the purchase price was
allocated to in-process research and development. The projected incremental cash
flows were discounted back to their present value using discount rate of 20% for
developed technology. This discount rate was determined after consideration of
the Company's cost of capital, the weighted average return on assets, venture
capital rates of return, and revenue growth assumptions. Associated risks
include achieving anticipated levels of market acceptance and penetration,
market growth rates and risks related to the impact of potential changes in
future target markets.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The Company's income tax provision decreased from $24.0 million in the
three month period ended June 30, 1998 to $1.9 million for the same quarter in
1999, and decreased from $44.7 million in the six month period ended June 30,
1998 to $4.9 million for the same period in 1999. The effective tax rate was 38%
and 38.5% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999 respectively,
excluding the impact of non-recurring charges and adjustments related to
Momentum Business Applications and the staff reductions completed in the first
quarter. The net deferred tax assets at June 30, 1999 were $64.9 million. The
valuation of these net deferred tax assets is based on historical tax positions
and expectations about future taxable income.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
14
<PAGE> 15
The Company's earnings (loss) per share amounts are calculated in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings
Per Share", which requires calculation of both a basic earnings per share and a
diluted earnings per share. The basic earnings per share excludes the dilutive
effect of common stock equivalents such as stock options and warrants, while the
diluted earnings per share includes such dilutive effects. Basic earnings (loss)
per share decreased from $0.17 in the three month period ended June 30, 1998 to
$ 0.01 for the same period in 1999 and from $0.32 for the six month period ended
June 30, 1998 to ($0.71) for the same period in 1999. Diluted earnings per share
decreased from $0.15 in the three month period ended June 30, 1998 to $0.01 per
share for the same period in 1999. Diluted earnings (loss) per share was the
same as basic earnings (loss) per share for the first six months of 1999 since
all stock options and warrants were antidilutive. Excluding the impact of the
charges related to Momentum Business Applications and the reduction in force,
diluted earnings per share would have been $0.04 for the six months ended June
30, 1999 compared to $0.28 for same period in 1998. Earnings per share for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 decreased as a result of the decrease in net
income from $73.0 million for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 to $10.5
million for the same period of 1999 (excluding the impact of the charges related
to Momentum Business Applications and the reduction in force, net of the related
tax impact of these charges). Shares outstanding during the remainder of 1999
will be impacted by at least the following factors: (i) the ongoing issuance of
common stock associated with stock option exercises; (ii) the potential exercise
during the fourth quarter of 1999 of warrants for approximately 3.2 million
shares; (iii) any fluctuations in the Company's stock price, which could cause
changes in the number of common stock equivalents included in the diluted
earnings per share computation; and, (iv) the issuance of common stock to
complete the acquisition of Distinction Software (see BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
below), and to affect other business combinations should the Company enter into
such transactions.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's operating activities used cash of $114.6 million during
the six month period ended June 30, 1999, compared to generating $150.5 million
in the same period in 1998. Excluding the cash contribution to Momentum Business
Applications (net of the dividend), the cash provided by operations for the
first six months of 1999 would have been $61.8 million. The cash provided from
operations was primarily a result of net income of $10.5 million (excluding the
tax effected impact of the charges related to Momentum Business Applications and
the reduction in force) plus the non-cash charges for amortization and
depreciation of $40.9 million.
The Company calculates accounts receivable days sales outstanding
("DSO") as the ratio of the quarter-end accounts receivable to the sum of
quarterly revenues and the net change in quarter-end current deferred revenues,
multiplied by 90. The Company believes this calculation is appropriate because
license fees are typically billable regardless of whether revenue has been
recognized or deferred. Under this method, DSO was 86 days as of June 30, 1998,
88 days as of December 31, 1998 and 98 days as of June 30, 1999. The increase in
the DSO was primarily due to the decline in customer financing from $51.9
million and $76.2 million in the second and fourth quarters of 1998,
respectively to $8.3 million in the second quarter of 1999. Additionally the
change in the revenue mix towards services and more timely billing of upcoming
maintenance periods has resulted in higher accounts receivable and deferred
maintenance. Since billing terms of the Company's agreements typically are
spread out over a sequence of events (including contract execution through
standard acceptance) or dates that generally span four to nine months, and
contracting activity is concentrated at the end of each quarter, the Company
anticipates that its DSO will continue to be substantial in future periods.
During the first six months of 1998 and 1999, the Company's principal
use of cash for investing activities included net purchases of investments and
property and equipment, comprised of computer and network equipment, to
accommodate facility expansions and to support the Company's growing training
capacity requirements. During 1998, the Company entered into agreements to sell
one of its Pleasanton, California office buildings and related land, and lease
back a substantial portion of the premises. Additionally, the Company purchased
two parcels of land for $50.0 million during 1998. These transactions were
structured as a like-kind exchange for tax purposes and, therefore do not impact
immediate cash flow. The Company is committed to lease facilities worth $110.0
million, which will be constructed on one of the sites. The construction is
expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2000. The lease term is for
five years with the option to purchase the building for $110.0 million at the
end of the lease term. The Company also entered into a five year lease for a new
facility in Pleasanton, California in 1998. The lessor funded $70.0 million for
the construction of this facility, which was completed in the fourth quarter of
1998. The Company has an option to purchase the building at the end of the lease
term for $70.0 million. In the event the Company exercises either or both of the
options to purchase these buildings at the end of the terms of the
15
<PAGE> 16
respective arrangements, the Company plans on utilizing cash flow from
operations to fund the purchase(s), however there can be no assurance that in
the future the Company will have sufficient cash flows from operations.
Financing activity for the first six months of 1998 and 1999 related to
the proceeds from the exercise of common stock options by employees and issuance
of stock under the employee stock purchase program. The Company believes
granting stock options is essential to its ability to attract and retain key
employees who are critical to the Company's success. The Company anticipates
that it will continue to grant a significant number of options each year. The
actual number of options granted each year is based on a variety of factors
including the Company's historical and anticipated employee count, the level of
hiring activity, competitive factors associated with the labor market, and
comparison of the Company's compensation philosophy and practice to other
similar technology companies. If the stock price stays the same or decreases in
value, there can be no assurance that employee stock activity will continue to
generate substantial funds in the future. Additionally, during the first quarter
of 1999, the distribution of Momentum Business Applications shares was made to
PeopleSoft shareholders.
As of June 30, 1999, the Company had $287.6 million in working capital,
including $309.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $188.3 million in
short term investments, consisting principally of investments in
interest-bearing demand deposit accounts with financial institutions,
tax-advantaged money market funds and highly liquid debt and equity securities
of corporations, municipalities and the U.S. Government. The Company believes
that existing cash and short term investment balances, proceeds from sales of
stock under the employee purchase plan and stock option exercises, potential
proceeds from issuance of stock for warrants, and potential cash flow from
operations will be sufficient to meet its operating cash requirements, at least
through the third quarter of 2000(1).
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
The acquisition of Distinction Software, Inc. ("Distinction") was
completed in early August 1999 with the Company acquiring all of Distinction's
outstanding equity interests for approximately $12 million in common stock. The
transaction will be recorded in the Company's third quarter and will be
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method
of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the net assets acquired,
including in-process research and development, if applicable, based on their
fair values. The valuation to determine the fair value of the net assets
acquired has not been completed. Accordingly, the Company cannot estimate the
amount of the in-process research and development but believes it will not be a
significant portion of the purchase price.
YEAR 2000
The Company has established a Year 2000 Program Management Office
("PMO") to ensure that it has adequately addressed exposures related to the Year
2000 and is Year 2000 Ready. "Year 2000 Ready" means that the performance or
functionality of the Company's internal systems will not be significantly
affected by the dates prior to, during, and after the Year 2000, to include leap
year calculations and specific day-of-the-week calculations. Through an
extensive risk analysis the Company has identified critical processes that will
require Level One Year 2000 Readiness testing. Level One testing will involve
full Year 2000 system and end-to-end testing. In cases where Level One testing
is not feasible, Level Two Readiness testing at the vendor site will be
employed. Additionally, all hardware and software associated with the Company's
identified critical business processes will be subject to Level Three Readiness
certification which consists of verification from the vendor indicating that the
item is Year 2000 Ready. The building of the environment and testing is based on
a comprehensive methodology, a collaborative effort between the Company and
Compuware. Testing of critical processes began during the fourth quarter of
1998.
Costs directly attributed to the Company's internal Year 2000
initiative, are currently estimated at approximately $4.0 million. The amount
spent to date is approximately $2.8 million. This estimate is comprised
primarily of the costs of hardware and software required to complete Year 2000
testing within the enterprise and consulting fees. This cost estimate excludes
internal resource costs for individuals outside of the PMO, however, these costs
are not considered to be material.
The Company, which was established in 1987, is a relatively new company
that does not have the level of exposure to Year 2000 issues as many older
companies. There are no legacy mainframe applications within the
16
<PAGE> 17
organization. The Company's commercial application software products generally
offered for license by the Company are also used to develop internal business
information systems within the enterprise. In addition, third party software,
hardware, and telecommunication products are also used for the development of
the Company's systems. As a matter of strategic direction, the Company attempts
to utilize the most recent release versions/models of in-house and third party
products. With respect to embedded systems consisting of facilities, utilities,
and third-party interfaces on which the enterprise is dependent but does not
have direct control, the Company is in the process of developing detailed
contingency plans for its core support centers. The Company currently
anticipates that the approach described above will enable it to achieve Year
2000 readiness with respect to its critical internal processes and therefore,
the Company does not expect that Year 2000 issues will have a material adverse
impact on the Company's financial condition(1). However, because of the vast
scope of potential Year 2000 issues, the Company cannot be certain to what
extent the Company may be impacted.
Although the Company feels confident that its internal critical
processes will be Year 2000 Ready, the Company does recognize that it is
vulnerable, as are most organizations, to the inability of significant
suppliers, third-party external interface suppliers, and utility organizations
to achieve Year 2000 Readiness. In light of these possibilities, the Company is
in the process of developing detailed contingency plans for its core support
centers to ensure the continuity of its operations.
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Foreign Exchange
The Company's revenue originating outside the United States was 21% of
total revenues in the first six months of 1999 and 15% for the same period in
1998. International sales from each geographic region were less than 10% of
total revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 1999. International sales
are made mostly from the Company's foreign sales subsidiaries in the local
countries and are typically denominated in the local currency of each country.
These subsidiaries also incur most of their expenses in the local currency.
Accordingly, all foreign subsidiaries use the local currency as their functional
currency.
The Company's international business is subject to risks typical of an
international business, including, but not limited to: differing economic
conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other
regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility. Accordingly,
the Company's future results could be materially adversely impacted by changes
in these or other factors.
The Company's exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations arise in
part from intercompany accounts in which cost of software, including certain
development costs, incurred in the United States is charged to the Company's
foreign sales subsidiaries. These intercompany accounts are typically
denominated in the functional currency of the foreign subsidiary in order to
centralize foreign exchange risk with the parent company in the United States.
The Company is also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the
financial results of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars in
consolidation. As exchange rates vary, these results, when translated, may vary
from expectations and adversely impact overall expected profitability.
The Company has a hedging program designed to mitigate the potential for
future adverse impact on intercompany balances due to changes in foreign
exchange rates. The program uses forward foreign exchange contracts as the
vehicle for hedging these intercompany balances. In general, these forward
foreign exchange contracts have terms of three months or less. The Company
currently settles all of its hedge contracts on the last day of the second month
of each quarter and concurrently opens new contracts to cover the upcoming
quarter. Gains and losses on the settled contracts are recognized as other
income or expense in the current period, consistent with the period in which the
gain or loss of the underlying transaction is recognized. The Company recorded
net losses from these settled contracts and underlying foreign currency
exposures of approximately $0.1 million for the three month period ended June
30, 1998. No net losses from settled contracts were recorded for the three month
period ended June 30, 1999. The Company recorded net losses from settled
contracts of $1.0 million and $0.4 million for the six month periods ended June
30, 1998 and 1999, respectively. At December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1999, hedge
positions totaled $11.0 million and $20.7 million, respectively. At June 30,
1999, the Company had forward foreign exchange contracts denominated in Euros,
Singapore dollars and New Zealand dollars. At June 30, 1999, each of these
contracts has a maturity date of September 2, 1999 and a book value that
approximates market value. The foreign exchange hedging program is managed in
accordance with a corporate policy approved by the Company's Board of Directors.

<PAGE> 18
For the six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, the Company's
revenues in the Asia/Pacific region, which includes Far East countries and
Australia and New Zealand, were less than 5% of total revenues. As of June 30,
1999, less than 5% of the Company's assets are in the Asia/Pacific region. To
date, the Company's operations in the region are generating losses and negative
cash flows. As the Asia/Pacific currencies devalue, the translated loss reported
on the consolidated financial statements decreases. In addition, such currency
devaluations cause the Company's U.S. dollar cash funding requirements of these
foreign subsidiaries to decrease.
Interest Rates
The Company invests its cash in a variety of financial instruments,
consisting principally of investments in interest-bearing demand deposit
accounts with financial institutions, tax-advantaged money market funds and
highly liquid debt and equity securities of corporations, municipalities, and
the U.S. Government. These investments are denominated in U.S. dollars. Cash
balances in foreign currencies overseas are operating balances and are only
invested in short term time deposits of the local operating bank.
The Company accounts for its investment instruments in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS 115"). All of the cash
equivalent, short term, and long term investments are treated as
"available-for-sale" under SFAS 115.
Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning
instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have
their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates,
while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest
rates fall. Due in part to these factors, the Company's future investment income
may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or the Company
may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities which have seen a
decline in market value due to changes in interest rates.
The Company's investments are made in accordance with an investment
policy approved by the Board of Directors. At June 30, 1999, the average
maturity of the Company's investment securities was approximately four months.
No investment securities had maturities exceeding two years. The following table
presents certain information about the Company's financial instruments at June
30, 1999 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. These instruments are
not leveraged and are held for purposes other than trading. For
available-for-sale investment securities, the table presents principal cash
flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates.
The Company believes its available-for-sale securities, comprised of highly
liquid debt securities of corporations, municipalities, and the U.S. Government,
are similar enough to aggregate. Because of the Company's effective tax rate,
the Company finds it advantageous to invest largely in tax-advantaged
securities. The average interest rates below reflect a weighted average rate for
both taxable investments and tax-exempt investments. Below is a tabular
presentation of the maturity profile of the available-for-sale investment
securities held by the Company at June 30, 1999:

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
The Company has identified certain forward-looking statements in the
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations with a footnote (1) symbol. The Company may also make oral
forward-looking statements from time to time. Actual results may differ
materially from those projected in any such forward-looking statements due to a
number of factors, including those set forth below and elsewhere in this Form
10-Q.
The Company operates in a dynamic and rapidly changing environment that
involves numerous risks and uncertainties. The following section lists some, but
not all, of these risks and uncertainties that may have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.
This section should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Part I -- Item 1
of this Quarterly Report and the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and
Notes thereto, and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1998, contained in the
Company's 1998 Annual Report to Stockholders (Form 10-K).
PEOPLESOFT COULD EXPERIENCE FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS
PeopleSoft's revenues and results of operations are difficult to predict
and may fluctuate substantially from quarter to quarter. License fee revenues in
any quarter depend substantially upon PeopleSoft's total contracting activity
and its ability to recognize revenue in that quarter in accordance with its
revenue recognition policies. PeopleSoft's contracting activity is difficult to
forecast for a variety of reasons, including the following:
o a significant portion of PeopleSoft's license agreements are
completed within the last few weeks of each quarter;
o PeopleSoft's sales cycle is relatively long and increasingly
variable since PeopleSoft has broadened its marketing emphasis
to include software product solutions for each customer's
overall business, thus increasing the financial value of
individual transactions and the complexity of the customer
selection, negotiation and approval process;
o the size of license transactions can vary significantly;
o customers may postpone or cancel system replacement or new
system evaluations due to changes in their strategic priorities,
project objectives, budgetary constraints or company management;
o customer evaluations and purchasing processes vary significantly
from company to company, and a customer's internal approval and
expenditure authorization process can be difficult, even after
selection of a vendor; and
o the number, timing and significance of software product
enhancements and new software product announcements by
PeopleSoft and its competitors may affect purchase decisions.
In addition, each customer's evaluation of its need to achieve Year 2000
compliance may affect the purchase decision. PeopleSoft believes that many
customers and potential customers are heavily engaged in testing and correcting
system Year 2000 problems, and therefore such customers may choose to defer
system investments during 1999, negatively impacting the Company's revenues. In
addition, prior year sales may have been increased due to customers' urgent need
to address Year 2000 issues. Such Year 2000 related demand should be eliminated
in 1999 due to the lead time required to implement new systems, negatively
impacting the Company's revenues. In addition, the Company's sales cycles may
lengthen in 1999 and future years due to lessened urgency of customers' system
investment decisions. Because Year 2000 related impacts on customer purchasing
decisions are unprecedented, PeopleSoft has a limited ability to forecast
accurately the impact of the Year 2000 issue on its quarter-to-quarter revenues.
In addition, changes in PeopleSoft's sales incentive plans have had and
may continue to have an unpredictable impact on seasonal business patterns.
Finally, changes in economic, political and market conditions may adversely
impact PeopleSoft's business opportunities at any time.
Several factors may require PeopleSoft to defer recognition of license
fee revenue for a significant period of time after entering into a license
agreement, including:
19
<PAGE> 20
o whether the license agreement relates entirely to then currently
undeliverable software products;
o whether enterprise transactions include both software products
that are then currently deliverable and software products that
are still under development or other undeliverable elements (If
PeopleSoft enters into a license agreement to provide both
software product categories, then, in order to recognize revenue
on currently delivered products under the license agreement, it
must be able to establish separate values for all elements under
the license agreement, and the license agreement and supporting
schedules must contain precise contractual provisions consistent
with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"));
o whether the customer demands services that include significant
modifications, customizations or complex interfaces;
o whether the license agreement includes non-standard acceptance
criteria that may preclude revenue recognition prior to customer
acceptance or if there are identified product related issues;
and
o whether the license agreement includes fees with extended
payment terms or fees that depend upon acceptance of services or
other contingencies.
Because of the factors listed above and other specific requirements
under published GAAP standards for software revenue recognition, PeopleSoft must
have very precise terms in its license agreements in order to recognize revenue
when it initially delivers software. Although PeopleSoft has a standard form of
license agreement that meets the criteria under GAAP for current revenue
recognition on delivered elements, it must often negotiate and revise certain
terms and conditions in large enterprise transactions. Negotiation of mutually
acceptable terms and conditions can extend the sales cycle and, sometimes
PeopleSoft does not obtain terms and conditions that permit revenue recognition
at the time of delivery or even as work on the project is completed. In
addition, PeopleSoft deferred approximately $10 million of license fees in the
second quarter of 1999 due to uncertainty arising from certain product related
issues. There is no assurance that such deferrals will not recur in future
quarters including the third and fourth quarters of 1999, and such deferrals may
have a significant impact on earnings for future quarters and years.
Variances or slowdowns in PeopleSoft's prior quarter contracting
activity may impact its current and future service revenues since service
revenues typically lag license fee revenues. PeopleSoft's ability to maintain or
increase service revenue (such as fees derived from consulting, training and
maintenance services) primarily depends on its ability to increase the number of
its licensing agreements. In particular, the significant decrease in license
revenues in 1999 versus the prior year may have a significant impact on service
revenues and earnings in the second half of 1999.
PEOPLESOFT DEPENDS ON THIRD PARTY TECHNOLOGY
PeopleSoft licenses numerous critical third-party software products that
it incorporates into its own software products. The termination of any of
PeopleSoft's licenses to this third-party software could have a material adverse
effect on PeopleSoft's business, financial condition and results of operations.
These adverse effects include, for example, PeopleSoft's products becoming
inoperable or their performance being materially reduced. If any of the
third-party software vendors change their product offerings, PeopleSoft may need
to incur additional development costs to ensure continued performance of its
products. In addition, if the cost of licensing any of these third-party
software products materially increases, PeopleSoft's gross margin levels could
materially decrease.
PeopleSoft relies on existing partnerships with certain other software
vendors who are also competitors. For example, PeopleSoft partners with Oracle
when PeopleSoft customers select an Oracle database to run in conjunction with
PeopleSoft's financial package. However, Oracle competes with PeopleSoft in the
enterprise software area. If these partners/competitors change their business
practices in the future, PeopleSoft may be compelled to find alternative vendors
of complementary software, which may not be as popular or provide the same
functionality as the software provided by PeopleSoft's existing
partners/competitors.
THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CREATION OF MOMENTUM BUSINESS APPLICATIONS
PeopleSoft faces a number of risks as of a result of the creation of
Momentum Business Applications and the distribution of the Momentum Business
Applications Class A Common Stock to PeopleSoft stockholders. These include:
o PeopleSoft has less control over important research and
development projects. PeopleSoft and Momentum must agree on
project selection, budgets, timetables and specifications for
each project
20
<PAGE> 21
and Momentum will be responsible for overseeing the actual
product development.
o PeopleSoft contributed a substantial portion of its cash
reserves to Momentum. As a result, PeopleSoft's credit rating
may be adversely affected and its ability to raise additional
funds may be impaired. In addition, the Company has increased
risk of having insufficient cash resources to address adverse
conditions that may impact its business results.
o PeopleSoft may lose the tax benefits associated with the
research and development expenditures on the projects pursued by
Momentum. Though PeopleSoft may be able to recapture these
benefits if it chooses to acquire Momentum, it will likely face
restrictions on the amount and timing of its utilization of
these tax benefits.
o If PeopleSoft chooses to acquire Momentum, it will likely be
required to record significant accounting charges relating to
acquisition of in-process research and development and
amortization of goodwill.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS COULD ADVERSELY IMPACT PEOPLESOFT
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement
of Position ("SOP") 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition", SOP 98-4, "Deferral of
the Effective Date of a Provision of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition",
and SOP 98-9, "Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With
Respect to Certain Transactions" in October 1997, March 1998, and December 1998,
respectively. These standards address software revenue recognition matters
primarily from a conceptual level and do not include specific implementation
guidance. These standards supersede an earlier Statement of Position and, in
part, are effective for transactions entered into for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1997. Based on its reading and interpretation of SOPs 97-2
and 98-4, PeopleSoft believes that it is currently in compliance with these
standards. However, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants has
only issued some implementation guidelines for these standards and the
accounting profession is discussing a wide range of potential interpretations.
Once available, these implementation guidelines could lead to unanticipated
changes in PeopleSoft's current revenue accounting practices that could have a
material adverse effect on PeopleSoft's business, financial condition and
results of operations.
PeopleSoft has not fully assessed its ability to comply with SOP 98-9
using current contracting and business practices. However, PeopleSoft believes
that SOP 98-9 may require significantly more revenue to be deferred for certain
types of transactions. Although this new standard is not effective until the
year 2000, PeopleSoft, in accordance with its historical practice of complying
with new revenue recognition standards as soon as issued, may choose to adopt
the standard in 1999, requiring either changes in revenue recognition practices
or changes in PeopleSoft's sales and contracting practices in order to comply.
Such changes may have a significant adverse impact on revenues and margins in
the quarter and year they are implemented.
The implementation guidelines for these standards, when issued, may also
require PeopleSoft to change significantly its business practices in order to
continue to recognize a substantial portion of its license fee revenue when it
delivers its software products. These changes may reduce demand, extend sales
cycles, increase administrative costs and otherwise adversely affect
PeopleSoft's business, financial condition and results of operations.
PEOPLESOFT MAY CHANGE PRICING PRACTICES
We may choose in 1999, or a future year, to make changes to our pricing
practices, including additional discounts to customers, reduction of
transactions that involve a perpetual use license to its software products,
changes in maintenance pricing, or other changes which may negatively impact
revenues in the quarter and year implemented, and for succeeding quarters and
years. Such changes may have a material adverse impact on revenues, income, and
financial condition.
THERE IS A HIGH DEGREE OF OPERATING LEVERAGE
Like many of its competitors, PeopleSoft's business model is
characterized by a very high degree of operating leverage. A substantial portion
of PeopleSoft's operating costs and expenses consist of employee and facility
related costs, which are relatively fixed over the short term. In addition,
PeopleSoft's expense levels and hiring plans are based substantially on
PeopleSoft's projections of future revenue. If PeopleSoft's actual revenues
21
<PAGE> 22
fall below expectations, its net income is likely to be disproportionately
adversely affected. PeopleSoft may be unable to increase or even maintain its
current level of profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.
FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS ARE UNCERTAIN AND THE BUSINESS IS SEASONAL
Segments of the software industry have in the past, and are expected in
the future, to experience significant economic downturns characterized by
decreased product demand, price erosion, technological shifts, work slowdowns
and layoffs. PeopleSoft's operations may, in the future, fluctuate substantially
from period to period because of these industry patterns, general economic
conditions affecting the timing of orders from customers and other factors
affecting capital spending.
THERE IS INTENSE COMPETITION IN THE INDUSTRY
The market for business application software has been intensely
competitive for the past 18 months and is currently intensifying. PeopleSoft
competes with a variety of software vendors. Although PeopleSoft believes its
success has been due in part to its early emphasis on the client/server
architecture, virtually all of PeopleSoft's competitors now offer software
products based on a client/server architecture. Consequently, PeopleSoft must
differentiate itself through different or more subtle architectural and
technological factors, including: internet focused application development;
enterprise software product breadth and individual product features; service
reputation; product flexibility; ease of implementation; international software
product version availability and support; and price. Price competition has
significantly increased over the past year and this trend may continue in the
future.
In the enterprise application software market, PeopleSoft faces
significant competition from SAP and Oracle and, to a lesser degree, J.D.
Edwards, Dun & Bradstreet Software (now operating as two separate divisions of
Geac Computer Systems, Inc.), Computer Associates International, Inc. and other
companies such as System Software Associates who previously focused primarily on
the AS/400 marketplace. In addition, the Company faces increasing competition
from internet focused application vendors. In this market, the chief competitive
factors include:
o the breadth and completeness of the enterprise solution offered
by each vendor, and the competitive advantages the solution
offers to its customers;
o the extent of software product integration across the enterprise
solution; and
o the availability of localized software products and technical
support in key markets outside the United States.
Both SAP and Oracle have certain competitive advantages over PeopleSoft
in these areas primarily due to their significant worldwide presence and longer
operating and product development history. Both SAP and Oracle have
substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than
PeopleSoft. In addition, SAP has a larger installed base than PeopleSoft.
Furthermore, Oracle's RDBMS (relational database management system) underlies a
significant portion of PeopleSoft's installed applications.
PeopleSoft entered the manufacturing software application markets in
1996. In these markets, PeopleSoft's existing competitors include those listed
immediately above, and others such as Baan, QAD, Ross Systems and a large number
of niche competitors already in the manufacturing market.
In addition, since it acquired Red Pepper Software in the fourth quarter
of 1996, PeopleSoft has competed in the emerging enterprise resource
optimization software solutions market. PeopleSoft's current and potential
competitors in this market include:
22
<PAGE> 23
o companies such as i2 Technologies, Manugistics and Numetrix
Software, which have developed or are attempting to develop
advanced planning and scheduling software products that
complement or compete with MRP (material requirements planning)
solutions;
o other companies that provide specialized planning and scheduling
software for niche markets, including Chesapeake Systems,
Waterloo Manufacturing Software, MAPICS, Inc., and Marcam
Solutions, Inc.;
o other business application software vendors that may broaden
their product offerings by internally developing (such as SAP's
initiatives in this area), acquiring (such as Baan's
acquisitions of Berclain Group, Inc. and Antalys, Inc.) or
partnering with independent developers of advanced planning and
scheduling software;
o internal development efforts by potential customers' corporate
information technology departments; and
o companies offering standardized or customized products on
mainframe and/or mid-range computer systems.
PeopleSoft also competes with: providers of HRMS software products,
including Cyborg Systems, Lawson Associates, Integral Systems, Inc., InPower,
Inc. and Ceridian: and providers of financial management systems software
products, including Computron Software, Inc., Flexiware International, Hyperion
Software, Lawson Associates and other smaller companies.
In addition, PeopleSoft competes with numerous small firms who offer
products across its product lines with either new or advanced features than may
not yet be available from PeopleSoft.
In addition, as the Year 2000 approaches, potential customers may
consider outsourcing options, including data center outsourcing and service
bureaus, as viable alternatives to purchasing PeopleSoft's software products.
This may result in increased competition from outsource services such as
Computer Science Corporation ("CSC"), Electronic Data Systems Corporation
("EDS"), IBM, ADP, Ceridian and other smaller companies. During the third
quarter of 1998, PeopleSoft signed agreements with IT service providers CIBER,
Inc., CSC, Corio, KPMG Peat Marwick, reSOURCE PARTNER, and USinternetworking to
provide industry-specific outsourcing solutions encompassing software
implementation and management services. Although PeopleSoft is pursuing an
outsourcing partner program that it believes will address the needs of the
marketplace, this program may not be successful.
Intense competition could lead to increased price competition in the
market, forcing PeopleSoft to reduce prices. As a result, PeopleSoft's gross
margins may decline and it may lose market share which, in turn, could have a
material adverse effect on PeopleSoft's business, financial condition and
results of operations. During 1998 and continuing into 1999, certain competitors
became more aggressive with their product pricing reductions, payment terms
and/or issuance of contractual implementation terms or guarantees. PeopleSoft
may be unable to continue to compete successfully with its existing competitors
or to compete successfully with new competitors.
THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
As part of its overall strategy, PeopleSoft plans to continue to acquire
or invest in complementary companies, products, and technologies and to enter
into joint ventures and strategic alliances with other companies. Risks commonly
encountered in such transactions include:
o the difficulty of assimilating the operations and personnel of
the combined companies;
o the risk that PeopleSoft may not be able to integrate the
acquired technologies or products with its current products and
technologies;
o the potential disruption of PeopleSoft's ongoing business;
o the inability to retain key technical and managerial personnel;
o the inability of management to maximize the financial and
strategic position of PeopleSoft through the successful
integration of acquired businesses;
23
<PAGE> 24
o decreases in reported earnings as a result of charges for
in-process research and development and amortization of acquired
intangible assets;
o adverse impact on PeopleSoft's annual effective tax rate;
o dilution of existing equity holders;
o difficulty in maintaining controls, procedures, and policies;
potential adverse impact on the PeopleSoft's relationships with
partner companies or third party providers of technology or
products;
o the impairment of relationships with employees and customers as
a result of any integration of new personnel; and
o issues with product quality architecture, legal contingencies,
product development issues, or other significant issues that may
not be detected through the Company's due diligence process.
In addition, PeopleSoft may not qualify for pooling of interests
accounting for acquisitions of companies, and thus may need to account for
acquisitions of other companies using the purchase method, in addition to using
the purchase method for acquisitions of technologies or products. The purchase
method of accounting for acquisitions would require large write-offs of any in
process research and development costs related to companies acquired, as well as
ongoing amortization costs for goodwill and other intangible assets valued in
the acquisition of companies, products, or technologies. Such writeoffs and
ongoing amortization charges may have a material adverse impact on operating
margins and net income in the quarter of the acquisition and for several
subsequent years. PeopleSoft may not be successful in overcoming these risks or
any other problems encountered in connection with such transactions.
PEOPLESOFT RELIES ON PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
Our software products include a suite of proprietary software
development tools, known as PeopleTools, which are fundamental to the effective
use of PeopleSoft's software products. While no industry standard exists for
software development tools, several companies have focused on providing software
development tools and each of them is attempting to establish its software
development tools as the accepted industry standard. In addition, Microsoft is
attempting to establish several standards in the marketplace. If a software
product other than PeopleTools becomes the clearly established and widely
accepted industry standard, PeopleSoft may be compelled to abandon or modify
PeopleTools in favor of such an established standard; be forced to redesign its
software products to operate with such third party's software development tools;
or face the potential sales obstacle of marketing a proprietary software product
against other vendors' software products that incorporate a standardized
software development toolset. PeopleSoft may not be able to respond
appropriately or sufficiently rapidly to the emergence of an industry standard.
THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
PeopleSoft has committed, and expects to continue to commit, substantial
resources and funding to build its international service and support
infrastructure. Operating costs in many countries, including many of those in
which PeopleSoft operates, are higher than in the United States. In order to
increase international sales in 1999 and subsequent periods, PeopleSoft must:
o continue to globalize its software product lines;
o expand existing and establish additional foreign operations;
o hire additional personnel;
o identify suitable locations for sales, marketing, customer
service and development; and
o recruit international distributors and resellers in selected
territories.
If PeopleSoft's international expansion and/or product globalization efforts are
not successful, its operating results will likely be negatively affected.
24
<PAGE> 25
Generally, PeopleSoft's foreign sales are denominated in its foreign
subsidiaries' currencies. If these foreign currency exchange rates change
unexpectedly, PeopleSoft's could have significant gains or losses. PeopleSoft
has a hedging program designed to mitigate the potential impact of exchange rate
fluctuations. Under this foreign exchange management policy, PeopleSoft may
hedge existing transaction exposures, anticipated transactions and exposure
resulting from the translation of foreign financial results into U.S. Dollars.
PeopleSoft can hedge anticipated transactions and translation exposures only if
they are highly certain, reasonably estimable and significant in amount.
PeopleSoft's inability to hedge potential significant exposures due to
uncertainty or inability to estimate reasonably its foreign exchange exposure
could materially adversely affect its operating results.
WE RELY ON THIRD PARTIES FOR SALES AND MARKETING
A key aspect of PeopleSoft's sales and marketing strategy is to build
and maintain strong working relationships with businesses that PeopleSoft
believes play an important role in the successful marketing of its software
products. PeopleSoft's customers and potential customers often rely on
third-party system integrators to develop, deploy and manage client/server
applications. PeopleSoft believes that its marketing and sales efforts are
enhanced by the worldwide presence of these companies. However, these companies,
most of which have significantly greater financial and marketing resources than
PeopleSoft, may start, or in some cases increase, the marketing of business
application software in competition with PeopleSoft, or may otherwise
discontinue their relationships with or support of PeopleSoft. If PeopleSoft or
its partners are unable to recruit and adequately train a sufficient number of
consulting personnel to support the implementation of PeopleSoft's software
products, demand for these software products could be materially adversely
affected. In addition, integrators who generate consulting fees from customers
by providing implementation services may be less likely to recommend
PeopleSoft's software application architecture, including PeopleTools, if these
products facilitate less implementation effort than competitors' similar product
offerings.
OUR SOFTWARE PRODUCTS AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT ARE COMPLEX
The market for PeopleSoft's software products is characterized by rapid
technological change, evolving industry standards, changes in customer
requirements and frequent new product introductions and enhancements.
PeopleSoft's future success will depend in part upon its ability to; (i)
continue to enhance and expand its core applications; (ii) continue to provide
enterprise solutions; (iii) enter new markets; and (iv) develop and introduce
new products that keep pace with technological developments, including
developments related to the internet, satisfy increasingly sophisticated
customer requirements and achieve market acceptance. PeopleSoft may not be able
to enhance existing products or develop and introduce new products in a timely
manner.
PeopleSoft's software products can be licensed for use with a variety of
popular industry standard RDBMSs. There may be future or existing RDBMS
platforms that achieve popularity within the business application marketplace
and on which PeopleSoft may desire to offer its applications. These future or
existing RDBMS products may or may not be architecturally compatible with
PeopleSoft's software product design. PeopleSoft may not be able to develop
software products on additional platforms with the specifications and within the
time frame necessary for market success.
Beginning with Release 6, PeopleSoft integrated certain features of
BEA's Tuxedo product into its applications. Over the next several releases,
PeopleSoft will continue to integrate Tuxedo features to allow applications to
run on a distributed basis using a multi-tiered client/server architecture.
PeopleSoft also will continue to bundle Cognos' Powerplay product and Arbor's
Essbase product to incorporate desktop OLAP capabilities, and will continue to
bundle products from Informatica and Information Advantage into its Enterprise
Performance Management products. These third party products may be critical to
the competitiveness of PeopleSoft's software products in the future. Integration
of these and other products is complex and PeopleSoft's efforts may not be
successful or may not result in significant software product enhancements.
Despite testing by PeopleSoft and by third-parties, software programs as
complex as those offered by PeopleSoft are likely to contain a number of
undetected errors or "bugs" when they are first introduced or as new releases
are subsequently released. This may result in reduced acceptance of PeopleSoft's
software products in the marketplace. The effort and expense of developing,
testing and maintaining software product lines will increase with the increasing
number of possible combinations of: (i) vendor hardware platforms; (ii)
operating systems and updated versions; (iii) PeopleSoft application software
products and updated versions; and (iv) RDBMS platforms and updated versions.
Developing consistent software product performance characteristics across all of
these combinations could place a significant strain on PeopleSoft's development
resources and software product release schedules.

PEOPLESOFT RELIES ON CLIENT INTERFACES
Currently, PeopleSoft supports client platforms using browsers certified
to run its Java-based Web client, or Microsoft's Windows family of software
products, including Windows 3.1 (PeopleSoft releases prior to Release 6 only),
Windows NT and Windows 95. If Microsoft fundamentally changes the architecture
of its software product so that users of PeopleSoft's software applications
experience significant performance degradation or become incompatible with
future versions of Microsoft's Windows Operating System, it could have a
material adverse effect on PeopleSoft's business, financial condition and
results of operations. The use of a Web client as a primary user interface is
emerging as an alternative to the traditional desktop access through Microsoft
Windows based personal computers. This client access via the Internet or
intranet involves numerous risks inherent in using the Internet, including
security, availability and reliability. PeopleSoft may wish to offer its
applications on future or existing client platforms that achieve popularity
within the business application marketplace. These future or existing client
platforms may or may not be architecturally compatible with PeopleSoft's current
software product design. PeopleSoft may not be able to support new client
interfaces and achieve market acceptance of new client interfaces which it does
support.
PEOPLESOFT RELIES ON JOINT BUSINESS ARRANGEMENTS
PeopleSoft has in the past entered into, and may in the future enter
into, various development or joint business arrangements to develop new software
products or extensions to its existing software products. Under these
arrangements, PeopleSoft has in the past and expects in the future to be the
exclusive remarketer of the developed software products and pays a royalty to
the business partner based on end user license fees for the developed products.
Under these joint business arrangements, PeopleSoft may distribute or jointly
sell with its business partner an integrated software product. While PeopleSoft
intends to develop business applications that are integrated with its software
products, these software products may not in fact be integrated or the market
may not accept an integrated enterprise solution. Also, these arrangements may
require additional investments from third parties or business partners to
complete development or to enhance the software product. These investments may
not be available on terms mutually acceptable to PeopleSoft and its business
partner or the existing or other potential third-party funding source(s).
If PeopleSoft acquires title to the software products or technology from
its business partner, it may account for this acquisition using the purchase
method, which is likely to result in either or both of the following accounting
treatments: (i) a charge to earnings for in-process research and development
which PeopleSoft would record in its statement of income in the period it
completed the acquisition; or (ii) allocation of a substantial portion of the
purchase price to acquired technology or other intangible assets, creating
significant intangible assets. These intangible assets would be amortized in
future periods as a cost of operations. If either of these scenarios occur,
PeopleSoft's results of operations in one or more future periods could be
materially adversely affected.
POTENTIAL SECURITY BREACHES ARE POSSIBLE
PeopleSoft's application software products incorporate extensive
security features designed to prevent unauthorized retrieval or modification of
sensitive data. PeopleSoft has developed a security architecture using: the
capabilities of its own applications; the client operating system software; some
of the security features contained in the RDBMS platforms on which the
applications run; and certain third party security products. To date, PeopleSoft
is not aware of any violations of its application security architecture within
its installed base. Although these security features are subject to constant
review and enhancement, they may not be successfully implemented or may not be
effective within a particular customer's operating environment. If a breach of
security or a suspected breach of security occurs, the accompanying publicity or
any subsequent claims against PeopleSoft could adversely impact the demand for
PeopleSoft's software products and/or could cause a decline in the market price
of PeopleSoft's stock and/or could adversely impact PeopleSoft's financial
results due to lost or delayed closing of software licensing opportunities.
PEOPLESOFT HAS LIMITED PROTECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND PROPRIETARY
RIGHTS AND MAY POTENTIALLY INFRINGE THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
PeopleSoft considers certain aspects of its internal operations,
software and documentation to be proprietary, and relies on a combination of
contract, patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and other measures
to protect this information. Outstanding applications may not result in issued
patents and, even if issued, the patents may not provide any meaningful
competitive advantage. Existing copyright laws afford only limited protection.
PeopleSoft believes that the rapid pace of technological change in the computer
software industry has made patent, trade secret and copyright protection less
significant than factors such as:
26
<PAGE> 27
o knowledge, ability and experience of PeopleSoft's employees;
o frequent software product enhancements; and
o timeliness and quality of support services.
Patent, trade secret and copyright protections may be inadequate, and
PeopleSoft's competitors may independently develop technologies that are
substantially equivalent or superior to PeopleSoft's technology. Through an
escrow arrangement, PeopleSoft has granted many of its customers a future right
to use PeopleSoft's source code solely for internal maintenance services. This
possible access to PeopleSoft's source code may increase the likelihood of
misappropriation or other misuse of PeopleSoft's intellectual property. Finally,
the laws of some countries in which PeopleSoft's software products are or may be
licensed do not protect PeopleSoft's software products and intellectual property
rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States.
PeopleSoft does not believe that its software products, software
products acquired from previous acquisitions, third party software products
PeopleSoft offers under sublicense agreements, PeopleSoft trademarks or other
PeopleSoft proprietary rights infringe the property rights of any third parties.
However, third parties may assert infringement claims against PeopleSoft and its
products. These assertions could require PeopleSoft to enter into royalty
arrangements or could result in costly litigation.
PEOPLESOFT MAY EXPERIENCE PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS
PeopleSoft's license agreements contain provisions designed to limit its
exposure to potential product liability claims. However, these provisions could
be invalidated by unfavorable judicial decisions or by federal, state or local
laws or ordinances. Although PeopleSoft has not experienced any product
liability claims to date, use of its software in mission critical applications
creates the risk that a third party may pursue a claim against PeopleSoft. If a
product liability claim against PeopleSoft were successful, the resulting
damages or injunctive relief could have a material adverse affect on
PeopleSoft's business, financial condition and results of operations. In
addition, as PeopleSoft begins to compete in the manufacturing software
application market, the mission critical nature of these products may increase
PeopleSoft's exposure to product liability claims.
THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MANAGING GROWTH
PeopleSoft has experienced an extended period of growth in the following
areas: revenue; customer base; software product lines and supported platforms;
employees; and international operations. In addition, we have experienced
increased pressure on the viability and scope of our operating and financial
systems. This growth has resulted in new and increased responsibilities for
management personnel and has placed a significant strain upon PeopleSoft's
management, operating and financial controls and resources, including its
services and development organizations. To accommodate recent growth, compete
effectively and manage potential future growth, PeopleSoft must continue to
implement and improve the speed and quality of its information decision support
systems, management decisions, reporting systems, procedures and controls.
PeopleSoft's personnel, procedures, systems and controls may not be adequate to
support its future operations.
PEOPLESOFT MAY BE DEPENDENT ON KEY PERSONNEL
PeopleSoft believes that its future prospects will depend in large part
upon its ability to attract, train and retain highly-skilled technical,
managerial, sales and marketing personnel. However, competition for personnel in
the software industry is intense, and, at times, PeopleSoft has had difficulty
locating candidates with appropriate qualifications within various desired
geographic locations, or with certain industry-specific domain expertise. If
PeopleSoft's competitors increase their use of non-compete agreements, the pool
of available technical personnel may further narrow in certain jurisdictions,
even if the non-compete agreements are ultimately unenforceable. The failure to
attract, train, retain and manage productive sales and sales support personnel
would have a material adverse effect on PeopleSoft's business, financial
condition and results of operations.
If PeopleSoft loses the services of one or more of its key employees,
its business, operating results, financial condition or business prospects could
be materially adversely affected. PeopleSoft has several programs in place to
retain key personnel, including granting of stock options that vest annually
over four or five years. A
27
<PAGE> 28
number of key employees have vested stock options with exercise prices lower
than PeopleSoft's current stock price. These potential gains provide these
employees the economic freedom to explore personal objectives both within and
outside PeopleSoft, which may result in the loss of one or more key employees
during the coming years.
It is widely recognized that the software industry in which PeopleSoft
competes is at or beyond a condition of full employment. PeopleSoft may not be
able to attract, train and retain the personnel it requires to develop, market,
sell and support new or existing software or to continue to grow. Also, to
penetrate successfully key vertical markets, PeopleSoft must attract, train and
retain personnel with industry-specific domain expertise.
Since the fourth quarter of 1998, PeopleSoft has experienced turnover of
several senior executives. PeopleSoft has hired or promoted qualified candidates
to fill these positions. However, since the employees are new to the positions,
it is possible that the newly hired or promoted employees will not easily
transition into these leadership roles or be able to successfully lead
PeopleSoft as it continues to grow.
CERTAIN THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS MAY NOT BE YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT
PeopleSoft's internal business information systems are comprised
primarily of the same commercial application software products it generally
offers for license to customers. These applications have been tested for Year
2000 compliance and are certified by the Information Technology Association of
America as Year 2000 compliant. Therefore, PeopleSoft does not expect any Year
2000 compliance issues to arise related to its primary internal business
information systems. Costs directly attributable to PeopleSoft's internal year
2000 initiative as currently estimated to at approximately $4.0 million. The
amount spent to date is approximately $2.8 million. This estimate is comprised
primarily of hardware and software required to complete Year 2000 testing within
the enterprise and consulting fees.
However, PeopleSoft uses other third party vendor network equipment,
telecommunication products, and software products that may or may not be Year
2000 compliant. PeopleSoft currently is taking steps to address the impact, if
any, of the Year 2000 issue surrounding these third party products. The failure
of any critical technology components to operate properly in the Year 2000 could
have a material adverse effect on PeopleSoft's business, financial condition and
results of operations, and PeopleSoft may incur unanticipated expenses to remedy
any problems.
THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE EUROPEAN MONETARY UNION ("EMU")
Our internal business information systems are primarily comprised of the
same commercial application software products generally offered for license by
the Company to end user customers. PeopleSoft's latest software release (Release
7.5) contains EMU functionality that allows for dual currency reporting and
information management. We are not aware of any material operational issues or
costs that were incurred in preparing internal systems in advance of the EMU.
However, since the Euro is not the sole legally required currency in any of the
member nations until the year 2002, it is possible that all issues related to
conversion to EMU have not surfaced yet, and may not have been adequately
addressed. In addition, we utilize third party vendor network equipment and
software products that may or may not yet be EMU compliant. Although PeopleSoft
continues to take steps to address the impact, if any, of EMU compliance for
such third party products, failure of any critical technology components to
operate properly under EMU may adversely affect business operations or require
us to incur unanticipated expenses to remedy any problems.
Our foreign exchange exposures to legacy sovereign currencies of the
participating countries in the EMU became foreign exchange exposures to the Euro
upon its introduction. Therefore, hedging transactions entered for exposures
after January 1, 1999, are denominated in Euros and hedges to legacy currencies
which were entered prior to December 31, 1998 were converted to Euros as
applicable. Although we are not aware of any material adverse financial risk
consequences of the change from legacy sovereign currencies to the Euro, since
complete conversion with the elimination of legacy currencies will not occur
until 2002, it is possible conversion may yet result in problems, which may have
an adverse impact on our business since we may be required to incur
unanticipated expenses to remedy these problems.

OUR STOCK PRICE IS VOLATILE AND THERE IS A RISK OF LITIGATION
The trading price of PeopleSoft common stock has in past and may in the
future be subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as the
following:
o revenue or results of operations in any quarter failing to meet
the expectations (published or otherwise) of the investment
community;
o announcements of technological innovations by PeopleSoft or our
competitors;
o new products or the acquisition of significant customers by
PeopleSoft or our competitors;
o developments with respect to patents, copyrights or other
proprietary rights of PeopleSoft or our competitors;
o changes in recommendations or financial estimates by securities
analysts;
o conditions and trends in the software industry generally;
o adoption of new accounting standards affecting the software
industry; and
o general market conditions and other factors.
Further, the stock market has experienced in recent months and may
continue in the future to experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that
particularly affect the market prices of equity securities of high technology
companies that often are not related to or are disproportionate to the operating
performance of such companies. These broad market fluctuations, as well as
general economic, political and market conditions have, and may continue to
have, a material adverse effect on the trading price of PeopleSoft common stock.
Fluctuations in the price of our common stock may expose PeopleSoft to the risk
of securities class action lawsuits. As a result of the significant declines in
the price of our common stock during the second half of fiscal 1998 and the
first half of fiscal 1999, several such lawsuits were filed against PeopleSoft.
Though PeopleSoft believes that these lawsuits are without merit, defending
against them could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's
attention and resources. In addition, any settlement or adverse determination of
these lawsuits could subject PeopleSoft to significant liabilities. We cannot
assure you that there will not be additional lawsuits in the future or that
current or future lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
THERE COULD BE ADVERSE EFFECTS OF POTENTIAL SECURITIES ISSUANCES
If holders of warrants and/or options to purchase our common stock
exercise any significant number of these securities and resell the underlying
shares, the market price of our common stock could be materially adversely
affected. At August 10, 1999, warrants to purchase 3,200,000 shares of our
common stock were outstanding. As of August 10, 1999, these warrants had
exercise prices above the current market price of PeopleSoft common stock. In
addition, at June 30, 1999, there were outstanding exercisable options to
purchase 11,647,535 shares of PeopleSoft common stock issued under employee
stock plans, of which 9,115,663 had exercise prices below the current market
price of PeopleSoft common stock.
PEOPLESOFT MAY NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING
PeopleSoft's short-term and long-term investments in marketable
securities consist primarily of high quality municipal bonds, U.S. government
securities, corporate debt securities and tax-advantaged money
29
<PAGE> 30
market funds. Although these investments have favorable credit ratings, it is
possible that the issuers will default on their obligations, and PeopleSoft may
lose principal and accrued interest. In times of growth, PeopleSoft's operating
and investing activities may use more cash than they provide, thus requiring
PeopleSoft to obtain additional sources of financing. In addition, PeopleSoft
may need additional sources of financing for capital expenditures and material
acquisitions of complementary businesses, products or technologies. PeopleSoft
may be unable to obtain additional sources of financing on favorable terms, if
at all.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Securities Class Actions: Beginning on January 29, 1999, a series of
class actions were filed alleging that the Company and various of its officers
and directors violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The first action was entitled Gulio Suttovia
v. David Duffield et al., No. C 99-0472 MJJ and all other actions were
consolidated into this action during June 1999 with the appointment of lead
plaintiffs counsel at that time. There were varying combinations of defendants
named in these actions, but the universe of defendants named in one or more
actions, all of whom are represented by Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP is:
PeopleSoft, Inc., David A. Duffield, Ronald E.F. Codd, Albert W. Duffield,
Kenneth R. Morris, George J. Still, Jr., Margaret L. Taylor, Aneel Bhusri, Cyril
Yansouni and Momentum Business Applications, Inc.
The First-Amended Consolidated Complaint is currently due to be filed on
or before September 23, 1999. All defendants anticipate filing a motion to
dismiss within forty-five days after the filing of the amended complaint. In the
interim, no discovery or motion practice is contemplated.
The class periods alleged in the existing complaints vary slightly, but
generally run from early February 1997, when the Company's 1996 financial
results were released, until late January 1999, when its 1998 results were
announced. The allegations of the complaints focused on three general areas.
First, the complaints alleged that the Company improperly accounted for the
acquisition of PeopleMan, L.P., which was acquired by the Company in 1996. The
complaints allege that, instead of writing off approximately $22 million of
in-process research and development ("IPR&D") in 1996 as a one-time charge, the
Company should have written off a lesser amount in 1996, capitalized the
remainder and amortized such amount over its useful life, which would have
increased reported earnings in 1996 but reduced reported operating earnings in
later years. The allegations in this regard appeared to be based on the
Company's announcement, on January 28, 1999, that the Securities and Exchange
Commission was reviewing the Company's accounting treatment for this transaction
(as well as for the acquisition of Intrepid Systems. Inc. in 1998, which
resulted in a $13.9 million charge for IPR&D in the fourth quarter), and that
the Company may be required to restate its 1996 and 1997 financial statements
with respect to the accounting for IPR&D on the PeopleMan transaction (and take
a lesser charge than expected for the Intrepid acquisition in the fourth quarter
of 1998). The Company has subsequently been advised by the SEC that it will not
require restatement of the 1996 or 1997 financial statements with respect to the
PeopleMan transaction and that it does not take exception to the accounting for
IPR&D with respect to the Intrepid transaction.
Second, certain of the complaints alleged that the Company has
improperly accounted for (or intends improperly to account for) the spin-off of
its subsidiary, Momentum Business Applications, Inc. ("Momentum Business
Applications"). In late 1998, the Company transferred $250 million to Momentum
Business Applications pursuant to a contract under which Momentum Business
Applications is to conduct research and development. The Company has a right of
first refusal with respect to the products generated by such research and
development and has an option to purchase the outstanding shares of Momentum
Business Applications in the future. Momentum Business Applications has one
employee, the former CFO of the Company, and contracts with the Company to
provide personnel to conduct its operations and for administrative services. On
December 31, 1998, the Company, pursuant to a Registration Statement filed with
the SEC, distributed the shares of Momentum Business Applications to the holders
of the Company's shares which resulted in a dividend of approximately $79
million being segregated in the Company's equity accounts in December 1998. Upon
the election of independent directors of Momentum Business Applications, which
occurred in the first quarter of 1999, Momentum Business Applications no longer
meets the requirements for consolidation with the Company. This resulted in a
one-time charge of approximately $177 million by the Company in the first
quarter of 1999. The complaints alleged that this structure was designed to
artificially inflate future operating earnings by allegedly converting what
would be ongoing research and development charges into a one-time write-off.
This structure was disclosed in detail in the above-referenced Registration
statement, and the SEC has not taken exception to the deconsolidation of the
financial statements upon the election of independent Momentum Business
Applications directors.
Third, the complaints alleged that the Company misled the investing
public as to the Company's future prospects and failed to disclose facts that it
knew would result in decreased demand for its products and/or decreased
operating margins. The complaints alleged further that various officers and
directors intended to profit thereby by artificially inflating the price of the
Company's stock so that they could sell significant amounts of their stock at
inflated prices. The allegations appeared to have been triggered by the
Company's 1999 forecast issued on January 28, 1999, which indicated lower growth
than experienced in prior years. The Company also announced that it was reducing
its workforce by approximately 6%. Due to uncertainties in the current business
environment, the Company no longer is forecasting financial results for 1999 or
subsequent fiscal years.
31
<PAGE> 32
It is currently unknown which, if any, of the foregoing allegations set
forth in the various complaints will appear in the First-Amended Consolidated
Complaint.
The Company believes these allegations to be without merit and intends
to vigorously defend them. However depending on the amount and timing, an
unfavorable resolution of some or all these matters could materially affect the
Company's future financial position or results of operations or cash flows in a
particular period.
