REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors of
Concord Communications, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Concord
Communications, Inc. (a Massachusetts corporation) as of December 31, 1999 and
December 31, 1998, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the
financial statements of FirstSense Software, Inc., a company acquired during
2000 in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests, as discussed in
Note 3(b). Such statements are included in the consolidated financial statements
of Concord Communications, Inc. and reflect total assets of 6% and 12% as of
December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively and total revenues of 2%,
1% and 1%, respectively, for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1999, of the related consolidated totals. These statements were
audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us and our opinion,
insofar as it relates to amounts included for FirstSense Software, Inc., is
based solely on the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of the other auditors
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Concord Communications, Inc. as of December 31, 1999
and December 31, 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in United States.

CONCORD COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999
(1) Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Concord Communications, Inc. (the Company or Concord) is primarily
engaged in the development and sale of next-generation performance and
availability management solutions to companies principally in the United States
and Europe.
The Company is subject to the risks associated with emerging,
technology-oriented companies. Primary among these risks are competition from
substitute products and the ability to successfully develop and market the
Company's current and future products.
(a) Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and all its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material inter-company
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
(b) Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities. The Company has classified its cash equivalents and marketable
securities as available-for-sale and recorded them at fair value, with the
unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders'
equity. The Company considers cash and highly liquid investments, purchased with
an original maturity of 90 days or less, to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash
and cash equivalents are $63,569,201 and $56,618,777 at December 31, 1999 and
December 31, 1998, respectively.
(c) Revenue Recognition
The Company's revenues consist of software license revenues and service
revenues. Software license revenues are recognized in accordance with the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position
("SOP") No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as modified by SOP 98-9,
Modification of SOP 97-2,Software Revenue Recognition with respect to Certain
Transactions. Software license revenues are recognized upon execution of a
contract and delivery of software, provided that the license fee is fixed and
determinable, no significant production, modification or customization of the
software is required and collection is considered probable by management.
Service revenues are recognized as the services are performed. Maintenance
revenues are derived from customer support agreements generally entered into in
connection with initial license sales and subsequent renewals. Maintenance
revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance period.
Payments for maintenance fees are generally made in advance. All payments
received in advance of the services rendered are recorded as deferred revenue.
(d) Equipment and Improvements
Equipment and improvements are recorded at cost. Depreciation is
provided for on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets, which
are estimated to be three to five years for all assets except leasehold
improvements, which are amortized over the life of the lease.
F-6
<PAGE> 8
(e) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
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 and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(f) Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
SFAS No. 105, Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments
with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations of
Credit Risk, requires disclosure of any significant off-balance-sheet and credit
risk concentrations. The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet
concentration of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option
contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains its cash,
cash equivalent and marketable securities with established financial
institutions. The Company does not believe it has accounts receivable collection
risk in excess of existing reserves. For the years ended December 31, 1999,
December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, no individual customer accounted for
more than 10% of revenue or accounts receivable.
(g) Software Development Costs
SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold,
Leased or Otherwise Marketed, requires the capitalization of certain computer
software development costs incurred after technological feasibility is
established. The Company believes that once technological feasibility of a
software product has been established, the additional development costs incurred
to bring the product to a commercially acceptable level are not significant.
There were no capitalized software development costs at December 31, 1999 or
December 31, 1998.
(h) Net Income (Loss) per Share
The Company computes earnings per share following the provisions of SFAS No.
128, Earnings per Share. SFAS No. 128 establishes standards for computing and
presenting earnings per share and applies to entities with publicly held common
stock or potential common stock. The dilutive effect of potential common shares
in 1999 and 1998, consisting of outstanding stock options and redeemable
convertible preferred stock, is determined using the treasury stock method and
the if-converted method, respectively, in accordance with SFAS No. 128; such
amounts have been excluded in 1997 because their inclusion would be
anti-dilutive. Pro forma diluted net income per common and potential common
share assumes earnings from Empire Technologies, Inc., an acquired Subchapter
S-Corporation accounted for as a pooling-of- interests (Note 3), were taxed at
the Company's effective tax rate. Pro forma diluted net income per share for
1997 also assumes the conversion of preferred stock to common stock prior to the
Company's initial public offering. Calculations of basic, diluted and pro forma
diluted net income per common share and potential common share are as follows:

and 1997, respectively, as their effect would have been antidilutive.
(2) Marketable securities
It is the Company's intent to maintain a liquid investment portfolio to
support current operations and to take advantage of investment opportunities;
therefore, all marketable securities are considered to be available-for-sale and
are classified as current assets.
The amortized cost, unrealized gains (losses) and fair value of marketable
securities available-for-sale as of December 31, 1999 with maturity dates from
January 1, 2000 through April 20, 2004, are as follows:

(3) Acquisitions
(a) Empire Technologies, Inc.
On October 29, 1999, the Company issued 815,248 shares of common stock
for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Empire Technologies, Inc.
(Empire) in a transaction accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. Accordingly,
all prior period financial statements presented have been restated as required
by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16, Accounting for Business
Combinations. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated as a result of
the business combination.
As a part of the transaction, the Company incurred direct,
acquisition-related charges of approximately $551,000. All of such costs have
been expensed. Also, as part of the transaction, the Company assumed an
obligation related to Empire's existing stock appreciation rights plan. Pursuant
to the terms of the only grant under this plan, the Company settled this
obligation in cash within 30 days of closing. The expense relating to the grant
was recognized from the date of grant through the date of settlement.
(b) FirstSense Software, Inc.
On February 4, 2000, the Company consummated a transaction pursuant to
which it acquired FirstSense Software, Inc. (FirstSense). Under the terms of
the agreement, the shareholders and option holders of FirstSense received an
aggregate of 1,940,000 equivalent Concord shares to effect the business
combination. The transaction is being accounted for as a pooling of interests.
All inter-company transactions have been eliminated as a result of the business
combination.
As a part of the transaction, the Company incurred direct,
acquisition-related charges of approximately $4,300,000. All of such costs have
been expensed in fiscal 2000 upon consummation of the FirstSense acquisition in
February 2000.
Separate and combined results of Concord, Empire and FirstSense during the
periods preceding the merger were as follows:

</TABLE>

the combinations
(4) Line of Credit, Term Loan and Subordinated Debenture
Prior to the Company's acquisition of FirstSense, FirstSense had a
revolving line of credit (the Revolving Loan) and a term loan (the Term Loan)
with a bank. At December 31, 1999 borrowings of $0 and $298,567 were outstanding
under the Revolver Loan and the Term Loan, respectively. Immediately following
the acquisition, the Company repaid all amounts due and the related agreements
terminated.
F-9
<PAGE> 11
FirstSense also entered into a subordinated debt agreement with another
lender in July 1999. Under the terms of this agreement, FirstSense borrowed
$3,000,000 in 1999. FirstSense also granted the lender a warrant to purchase its
Series B Preferred Stock. FirstSense allocated $357,486 to the value of the
warrant, based on the relative fair value of the subordinated note and warrant
at the date of issuance. FirstSense was amortizing the resulting original
issuance discount over the life of the subordinated note. As of December 31,
1999, the carrying value of the debt and unamortized original issue discount
were $2,961,883 and $297,984 respectively. Immediately following the
acquisition, the Company repaid all amounts due under this agreement; upon the
early extinguishments of this debt, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss
of $288,010 in fiscal 2000.
Pursuant to the terms of the related warrant agreement, certain of the
warrant's terms did not become fixed until the Company's acquisition of
FirstSense. The Company applied the applicable provisions of SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and determined that no further value
should be attributed to the warrant. Concurrent with the closing of the
acquisition, the warrant holder exercised the warrant.
(5) Stock Option Plans
In 1995, the Company's Board of Directors (the Board) approved the 1995
Stock Plan, which provides for the granting of incentive stock options (ISOs)
and nonqualified stock options. Prior to the adoption of the 1995 Stock Plan,
the Board granted options under the 1982 Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan,
the 1986 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan and the 1986 Stock Plan. Following the
completion of the IPO, the Company adopted the 1997 Stock Plan, the 1997
Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the 1997 Non-Employee Director Stock Option
Plan. As amended, these plans allow for issuances of up to 2,500,000, 375,000
and 95,000 shares of common stock, respectively; the Company has reserved such
shares for future issuance.
Under the 1995 and 1997 Stock Plans (the Plans), the Company may issue
options to purchase up to 2,963,798 shares of common stock, of which 137,658
options are available for grant as of December 31, 1999. ISOs may be granted at
an exercise price not less than the fair market value per share of common stock
on the date of grant, as determined by the Board. The price per share relating
to each nonqualified option granted under the Plans shall not be less than the
lesser of (i) the book value per share of common stock as of the end of the
Company's fiscal year immediately preceding the date of grant or (ii) 50% of the
fair market value per share of common stock on the date of grant. Vesting of the
options is determined by the Board, and the options expire 8 years from the date
of grant. An employee may convert his or her unexercised ISOs into nonqualified
options at any time prior to the expiration of such ISOs. Concurrent with the
merger, the Company assumed the 1996 and 1997 FirstSense option plans. The
total number of shares which may be issued under the 1996 and 1997 Plans are
4,552, and 280,991, respectively.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which requires the measurement
of the fair value of stock options or warrants to be included in the statement
of operations or disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. As
permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company will continue to account for stock-based
compensation for employees under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and
has elected the disclosure-only alternative under SFAS No. 123 for options
granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model prescribed by SFAS No. 123.
The weighted average fair value per share of options granted during 1999, 1998
and 1997 was $44.24, $25.86 and $7.85, respectively. The weighted average
assumptions are as follows:
<TABLE>

Had compensation cost for these plans been determined consistent with

forma diluted net income (loss) per common and potential common share would
have been as follows:

</TABLE>
Because the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123 has not been applied to
options granted prior to January 1, 1995, the resulting pro forma
compensation may not be representative of that to be expected in future
years.

</TABLE>
In 1997, the Company granted one officer and one director options to
purchase in total 143,750 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.90
per share. At the date of grant, the estimated fair value per share of the
Company's common stock exceeded the exercise price of the options, and
accordingly, the Company has recorded deferred compensation of $191,875 related
to this difference at the date of grant. Prior to the Company's acquisition of
FirstSense, FirstSense recorded deferred compensation of $3,417,025, $484,500
and $195,750 in 1999, 1998 and 1997 respectively, representing the difference
between the exercise price of stock options granted and the estimated fair
market value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant. The difference
is recorded as a reduction of stockholders' equity and is being amortized over
the vesting period of applicable options, typically four years. The Company
amortized $489,796, $125,156 and $59,030 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The amortization of deferred compensation is recorded as an operating expense.
The exercise price of all other options outstanding represents the fair
market value per share of common stock as of the date of grant.
(6) Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
Prior to the combination with the Company, FirstSense had issued Series
A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") and
Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred
Stock"). Concurrent with the acquisition of FirstSense by the Company (Note 3),
the Preferred Stockholders converted all of such shares into FirstSense common
stock; such common stock was then exchanged for Company common stock.
(7) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes. This standard requires, among other things,
recognition of future tax effects, measured by enacted tax rates, attributable
to deductible temporary differences between the financial statement and income
tax bases of assets and liabilities.
The approximate income tax effects of these temporary differences are as
follows:

The Company has available net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $26,800,000 and federal research and development tax credit
carryforwards of approximately $2,548,000 as of December 31, 1999 to reduce
future income tax liabilities. These carryforwards are subject to review and
possible adjustment by the appropriate taxing authorities and expire through
2019 as follows:

Pursuant to the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the utilization of net operating
loss carryforwards for tax purposes may be subject to an annual limitation if a
cumulative change of ownership of more than 50% occurs over a three-year period.
As a result of the Company's 1995 preferred stock financings, such a change in
ownership has occurred. As a result of this ownership change, the use of the net
operating loss (NOL) carryforwards will be limited. The Company has determined
that its initial public offering did not cause another ownership change. In
addition, NOL carryforwards acquired as a result of the FirstSense acquisition
are also restricted as a result of a prior ownership change. The Company has
deferred tax assets of approximately $19.7 million composed primarily of net
operating loss carryforwards and research and development credits. The Company
has partially reserved for these deferred tax assets by recording a valuation
allowance of $16.7 million. The net tax asset is based on the Company's estimate
of NOL carryforwards it expects to use in the next two years; all other tax
assets have been fully reserved.
Pursuant to paragraphs 20 to 25 of SFAS No. 109, the Company considered both
positive and negative evidence in assessing the need for a valuation allowance
at December 31, 1998 and 1999. The factors that weighed most heavily on the
Company's decision to record a valuation allowance were (i) the substantial
restrictions on the use of certain of its existing NOL carryforwards and (ii)
the uncertainty of future profitability.
As a result of the Company's ownership change described above, the future
use of approximately $10.9 million of the Company's NOL carryforwards are
limited to only $330,000 per year; the substantial majority of such NOL
carryforwards will expire before they can be used. The FirstSense NOL
carryforwards are limited to $4.2 million per year. Pursuant to the provisions
of SFAS No. 109, the Company used all of its remaining unrestricted NOL and
credit carryforwards in computing the 1998 tax provision. As a part of restating
its financial statements to reflect the FirstSense acquisition, the Company
determined that approximately $3.0 million of valuation allowance previously
recorded by FirstSense prior to the acquisition was not necessary, given the
Company's estimates of future taxable income. Accordingly, pursuant to SFAS No.
109, the Company recorded an asset and reduced its provision for income taxes in
the period in which such NOL carryforwards were generated by FirstSense. The
Company is also subject to rapid technological change, competition from
substantially larger competitors, a limited family of products and other related
risks, as more thoroughly described in the "Risk Factors" section of the
Company's Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. The Company's
dependence on a single product family in an emerging market makes the prediction
of future results difficult, if not impossible, especially in the highly
competitive software industry. As a result, the Company found the evidence
described above to be the most reliable objective evidence available in
determining that a valuation allowance against its tax assets would be
necessary.
The Company's net operating loss deferred tax asset includes approximately
$3.4 million pertaining to the benefit associated with the exercise and
subsequent disqualifying disposition of incentive stock options by the Company's
employees. When and if the Company realizes this asset, the resulting change in
the valuation allowance will be credited directly to additional paid-in capital,
pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 109.
The Company received a tax benefit of approximately $4.9 million and
$500,000 in 1999 and 1998, respectively, pursuant to the exercise of employee
stock options. The Company recorded this benefit as a component of additional
paid-in capital.

The difference between the expected combined federal and state tax rate and
the Company's effective tax rate in 1999 relates primarily to the use of
currently-generated tax credits and tax assets acquired as a part of the Empire
and FirstSense acquisitions (Note 3). The difference in 1998 and 1997 relates
primarily to the use of substantially all of the Company's unrestricted NOL
carryforwards and NOL carryforwards acquired in the FirstSense acquisition.
(8) Commitments and Contingencies
(a) Leases
In March 1999, the Company signed a 7 year operating lease for its principal
operating facilities. Following the abandonment of the Company's former office
space, the Company recorded a third quarter charge of $700,000, representing the
remaining lease commitment, less expected sublease income. The approximate
future minimum rental payments under both leases are as follows:
Amount
------
2000.......................................... 1,926,000
2001.......................................... 2,321,000
2002.......................................... 2,327,000
2003.......................................... 2,036,000
2004.......................................... 2,073,000
Thereafter.................................... 3,218,000
------------
$ 13,901,000
============
Rent expense was approximately $2.6 million, $549,000 and $359,000 for
the years ended December 31, 1999, December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997,
respectively.
(b) Royalties
The Company has entered into several software license agreements that
provide the Company with exclusive worldwide licenses to distribute or utilize
certain patented computer software. The Company is required to pay royalties on
all related sales. Under one software license agreement, as amended, the Company
is obligated to make minimum quarterly royalty payments from 1995 through 1999.
The minimum payments are noncancelable and nonrefundable, but any minimum
payments in excess of amounts due for actual license sales in any quarter may be
used as a credit against future royalty fees in excess of the specified minimum
payments. The minimum royalty payments were paid in full in 1999. Royalty
expense under royalty agreements was approximately $1.0 million, $665,000 and
$903,000 for 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
(c) Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company may be exposed to litigation relating to
its products and operations. The Company is not engaged in any legal proceedings
that are expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial conditions or results of operations.

(12) Segment Reporting and International Information
The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.
SFAS 131 establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating
segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for
those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to
stockholders. SFAS 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as
components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information
is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision
making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess
performance. The Company's chief decision making group, as defined under SFAS
131, is the Executive Management Committee. To date, the Executive Management
Committee has viewed the Company's operations as principally one segment,
software sales and associated services. As a result, the financial information
disclosed herein, materially represents all of the financial information related
to the Company's principal operating segment. Revenues from international
locations were $16.3 million, $7.3 million and $2.4 million in 1999, 1998 and
1997, respectively. The Company's revenues from international locations were
primarily generated from customers located in Europe. Revenues from customers
located in Europe accounted for 13.1%, 12.6% and 10.3% of total revenues in
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. No one country accounts for greater than 10%
of total revenues. Substantially all of the Company's assets are located in the
United States.
