ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, including statements as to the sufficiency of funds to meet operating requirements for the next 12 months. Actual results could differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and presented elsewhere by management from time to time. In addition to the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the issues and risks contained in the section entitled "Outlook: Issues and Risks" of the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, among others, should be considered in evaluating MapInfo's outlook and future.
MapInfo Corporation (the "Company" or "MapInfo") designs, develops, licenses, markets and supports software and data products, application development tools and industry-focused solutions, together with a range of consulting, training and technical support services. These software-based solutions enable users to correlate, visualize and analyze location-based information in their databases and to deploy applications throughout their organizations. Enterprise applications using MapInfo's integrated suite of software and data products allow organizations to use location to transform information into better business intelligence.
MapInfo's business strategy emphasizes the development of enterprise applications that can be used by several departments in a customer's organization to improve core business processes. These applications are developed directly by MapInfo or in partnership with the Company's value-added resellers channel and industry partners. MapInfo markets these applications through a worldwide network that comprises a direct and field sales organization, value-added resellers, systems integrators and distributors. When deployed throughout organizations, MapInfo technology allows decision-makers to "see and analyze" their customer and asset data; when used in Internet applications, it enables organizations to serve their customers directly and more efficiently.
MapInfo targets customers whose business needs require location-based solutions. These include the telecommunications/wireless industry, the public sector, the customer relationship management market ("CRM") and e-businesses. In telecommunications, for example, customers employ MapInfo's solutions to plan networks efficiently, reduce customer churn, improve services, and forecast demand. In the public sector, customers deploy MapInfo technology in Web-based applications to better manage municipal planning, emergency response and public safety programs, as well as communicate new services more effectively to the general public. In other service industries, such as financial services and retail, customers use MapInfo technology in site selection, resource allocation, customer relations and sales and marketing.
The Company has a partnership with Oracle Corporation that includes a technology and sales and marketing relationship. In addition, MapInfo technology supports the IBM DB2® Extender and Informix® Universal Server DataBlade® technologies for customers using these databases.
MapInfo's corporate headquarters is in Troy, New York and the Company is incorporated in the state of Delaware.
BACKGROUND
In today's competitive business environment, organizations are under constant competitive pressure to acquire and retain customers, reduce costs and improve operating efficiencies. Applying location-based solutions to core business applications has become an increasingly important way to gain better business intelligence about assets, customers and markets. The vast majority of corporate data has a location component, such as an address, area code or postal code. By maximizing the use of location components in their corporate data, MapInfo customers are able to make meaningful decisions by seeing and analyzing patterns, relationships and trends not easily recognized with conventional analysis and reporting methods.
PRODUCTS AND SOLUTIONS
MapInfo offers an extensive set of software-based development tools and Internet and desktop applications, as well as geographic, demographic, business and industry data for use with MapInfo's software and applications. The Company's engineering approach is founded on state-of-the-art coding and quality assurance standards, multi-platform Java and Internet deployment and integration with leading database environments.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
The software industry is characterized by extremely rapid changes in technology, which require continuous expenditure on product research and development to enhance existing products and create new products. The Company believes that the timely development of new products and ongoing enhancements to existing products is essential to maintain its competitive position in the marketplace. The Company is committed to an open systems, standards-based product architecture to provide software products that can be integrated into existing mainstream business environments and be adaptable as environments change.
Most of the Company's software products are developed internally. Internal development allows the Company to maintain close technical control over products in terms of enhancements and modifications based on customer needs, and allows the Company to create a family of products that provides natural migration paths for customers as their business information needs change.
The Company also has an active program of licensing products developed and owned by other parties for distribution by MapInfo. Most such products are licenses to MapInfo in exchange for royalties paid on MapInfo's net revenues from such products. This product licensing program is an important element of MapInfo's strategy to deliver complete solutions to customers.
MARKETING & DISTRIBUTION
The Company has established multiple distribution channels to reach an array of industries while simultaneously addressing specific vertical markets. Distribution channels include an indirect channel of value-added resellers, OEMs and distributors, a corporate accounts sales force, and a telemarketing sales group. MapInfo markets its products worldwide through sales offices in North America, Europe, Japan and Australia, and throughout the rest of Europe and the Asia-Pacific region through exclusive and nonexclusive distribution relationships.
The Company's direct and field sales and marketing organization is complemented by a network of corporate partners including resellers, system integrators, OEMs and distributors who purchase the Company's products at a discount for resale to end-users. These partners may provide training, consulting services, application development, customization and data products to end-users. In Greater China and certain other countries outside the U.S. the Company has appointed master distributors. These master distributors generally build their own value-added reseller network in addition to directly selling data products and consulting services.
To build corporate identity and generate demand in support of the sales effort, the Company conducts various marketing programs, which include advertising, public relations, trade shows, direct mail, Web-based promotions, online seminars and ongoing communications to customers about new products. The Company also offers cooperative advertising and other marketing support to its value-added reseller partners. The Company sponsors annual partner conferences in North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.
In addition to desktop applications, the Company has successfully moved with the IT industry into client/server and Web-based applications. Today, the Company views the emergence of the wireless Web as an opportunity to evolve further with the industry into a new medium - the wireless Web - and is currently developing prototype applications with wireless infrastructure providers and wireless carriers.
COMPETITION
The Company encounters competition in the United States and foreign markets from various companies offering mapping software and data products. In the traditional GIS market, these competitors include Environmental Systems Research Institute, the GIS division of AutoDesk, and the GIS division of Intergraph. However, in recent years the Company has moved into higher-growth markets, such as CRM, with particular expertise in serving the telecommunications market.
As the Company moves into new areas, such as CRM and the emerging wireless Web market, it may also face new competition from potential entrants into the mapping software and data markets and more focused competition from companies in related markets. Some of the Company's current and future competition may have significant name recognition, as well as substantially greater capital resources, marketing experience, research and development staffs and production facilities than the Company. Although the Company believes it has a technology advantage over many existing competitors in the mapping software markets, maintaining that advantage will require continued investment by the Company in new product development.
The Company believes that it competes principally on the basis of product features and functionality (including cross-platform availability, interoperability, integration and extensibility), product price, reliability, ease of use and supportability. In addition, the Company believes it has a technological edge over many competitors in the telecommunications industry through its development of industry-focused solutions that incorporate industry data with its software to solve specific business problems for its customers, which are mission critical. Many of the leading telecommunications companies around the world use MapInfo technology to build out their networks, forecast demand and reduce customer churn and have invested in multi-year contracts with the Company to address these problems. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to compete successfully against current and future competition and that the competitive pressures faced by the Company will not adversely affect its financial performance.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Company regards its software and data products as proprietary and attempts to protect them with a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, employee and third-party non-disclosure agreements, and other methods of protection. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy certain portions of the Company's products or reverse engineer or obtain and use information the Company regards as proprietary. While the Company's competitive position may be affected by its ability to protect its proprietary information, the Company believes that the trademark and copyright protections are less significant to the Company's success than other factors, such as the knowledge, ability and experience of the Company's personnel, MapInfo name recognition and ongoing product development and support.
The Company supplies MapInfo software products primarily under shrinkwrap licenses. Shrinkwrap licenses are not negotiated with or signed by individual licensees and take effect upon the opening of the product package. Certain provisions of such licenses, including provisions protecting against unauthorized use, copying, transfer and disclosure of the license program, may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect the Company's proprietary rights to the same extent, as do the laws of the United States. Accordingly, the Company supplies its MapInfo products using software copy protection technology in many countries. There can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against the Company in the future with respect to current or future products. Any such assertion could require the Company to enter into royalty arrangements or result in costly litigation.

In 2000, revenues increased $21.8 million or 29% to $96.2 million. Of the increase, approximately $13.0 million was attributable to increased unit sales of data products and approximately $6.8 million was attributable to increased unit sales of software products. The strong growth in both data and software revenues was mainly attributable to the increased demand for MapInfo solutions, which frequently include software and data products. Included in the $13.0 million increase in data revenues mentioned above is $2.5 million of revenues from the sale of telecommunications data products acquired in the December 1998 acquisition of On Target Mapping (discussed below). Services revenues increased due to higher utilization rates in the consulting services groups in the Americas and Europe. On a geographic basis, revenues increased approximately 45%, 10% and 14% in the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific, respectively. Excluding the effects of foreign currency devaluation, Europe and Asia-Pacific revenues would have increased 16% and 18%, respectively. In total, the devaluation of certain foreign currencies reduced 2000 growth by approximately $1.9 million or 3 percentage points.
In 1999, revenues increased $13.8 million or 23% to $74.4 million. Approximately $8.9 million of the increase was attributable to increased unit sales of data products. The strong growth in data revenues resulted from $3.0 million of revenues from the December 1998 acquisition of On Target Mapping; a $1.0 million increase in revenues from The Data Consultancy (discussed below); and increased demand for the Company's data products in the Americas and Australia. Software revenues increased by $3.2 million, and services revenue increased by $1.7 million and reflects a 39% increase over the prior year services revenue. This is mainly the result of higher revenue production from the consulting and developer services groups in the Americas and Europe. On a geographic basis, revenues increased approximately 30% in the Americas and 27% in Europe. Asia-Pacific revenues decreased 9%, primarily due to lower revenues from Japan, partially offset by increases in China and Australia revenues.
The Americas represented 60%, 54% and 51% of Company revenues in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. Europe represented 29%, 33% and 32% and Asia-Pacific represented 11%, 13% and 17% of Company revenues in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.
The Company's operating results are affected by exchange rates. Approximately 26%, 31% and 31% of the Company's revenues were denominated in foreign currencies in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues increased by 0.8 percentage points in 2000. As a result, the gross profit margin decreased to 78.2% in 2000 from 79.0% in 1999. The gross profit margin decrease was mainly attributable to the increase in the percentage of data sales, which carry a higher cost of revenues than software products. Data products accounted for 39% of total revenues in 2000 and 33% of total revenues in 1999. In addition, gross profit margin on services improved due to increased utilization of consulting and developer services in revenue contracts.
Cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues decreased by 1.4 percentage points in 1999. As a result, the gross profit margin increased to 79.0% in 1999 from 77.6% in 1998. The gross profit margin increase was primarily attributable to improved gross profit margin on data product sales due to a shift from selling third-party products to selling the Company's own products. In addition, gross profit margin on services also improved due to increased utilization of consulting and developer services in revenue contracts.

Research and development. In 2000, research and development (R&D) expenses increased $3.3 million or 29% over 1999. The increase was primarily attributable to a 24% increase in headcount to support new development initiatives, including the Company's relationship with Oracle Corporation. In 1999, R&D expenses increased $1.0 million or 10% over 1998. The increase was primarily attributed to a 12% increase in headcount and to higher compensation costs. Research and development headcount increased from 110 at the end of fiscal 1998 to 123 at the end of fiscal 1999 and to 152 at the end of fiscal 2000. As a percentage of net revenues, R&D expenses remained constant in fiscal 2000 as compared with 1999 at 15.1%. Capitalized product development costs were $286 thousand, $615 thousand, and $438 thousand in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. These amounts represented 2%, 5% and 4% of total research and development costs in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Selling and marketing expenses. Selling and marketing expenses increased $5.4 million or 17% in fiscal 2000. The increase in selling and marketing expenses was primarily attributable to a 12% increase in headcount; increased commission and bonus incentives resulting from the strong revenue and earnings performance in 2000; and increased sales and marketing activity in the Asia-Pacific region, particularly in Japan. Selling and marketing expenses increased $5.9 million or 23% in 1999. The increase in selling and marketing expenses was primarily due to a 15% increase in sales and marketing headcount and a 28% increase in spending on marketing programs in the Americas. The increases in headcount and program spending relate to increased sales and product management activities in the Americas, including those in support of the Company's relationship with Oracle Corporation, and significant increases in sales and marketing activities throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Sales and marketing headcount increased from 170 at the end of 1998 to 195 at the end of 1999 to 218 at the end of 2000. As a percentage of net revenues, selling and marketing expenses declined to 38.5% from 42.4% in 1999.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative (G&A) expenses increased by $2.3 million or 23% in 2000. The increase was due to a 20% increase in headcount to support MIS initiatives, higher professional fees, and further expansion of the Asia-Pacific region, particularly Japan. Non-cash amortization of intangible assets including goodwill amounted to $1.2 million in 2000 and $1.0 million in 1999. General and administrative expenses increased approximately $2.2 million or 27% in 1999. The increase in G&A expenses was primarily due to an 8% increase in headcount to support expanded operations in Europe, additional MIS headcount, Y2K initiatives throughout the Company, and business development initiatives. In addition, approximately $600 thousand of the increase is due to additional amortization expense as a result of the acquisitions of The Data Consultancy and On Target Mapping. Non-cash amortization of intangible assets including goodwill amounted to $1.0 million in 1999 as compared to approximately $500 thousand in 1998. As a percentage of net revenues, G&A expenses decreased to 13.0% in 2000 from 13.7% in 1999.

The increase in the 2000 and the 1999 provision for income taxes was primarily attributable to increased pre-tax operating income, increased impact of state taxes and reduced benefit from foreign tax credit.
Financial Condition
The Company's cash and short-term investments totaled $39.0 million at September 30, 2000, and represented 43% of total assets. The portfolio is invested primarily in short-term, marketable securities. MapInfo has no long-term debt. The Company has a $10.0 million credit facility with a bank that expires in December 2000. The Company also has a $10.0 million line of credit with a bank that expires in January 2001. The Company anticipates that the credit facility and the line of credit will be renewed upon expiration for a one-year period on substantially the same terms. There were no outstanding borrowings under either facility at September 30, 2000 or 1999.
In August 2000, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase from time to time up to $5.0 million of the Company's Common Stock on the open market or in negotiated transactions. The repurchase program will be in effect during the Company's fiscal year ending September 30, 2001 unless discontinued earlier by the Board of Directors. The Company intends to use any repurchased shares for issuance upon exercise of employee stock options, purchases under the Company's stock purchase plan, or other corporate purposes. Under previous repurchase programs, the Company purchased 104,250 shares for $2.2 million at an average purchase price of $20.80 per share in fiscal 2000 and 202,500 shares for $1.8 million at an average purchase price of $8.75 per share in fiscal 1999.
Net cash flow from operating activities increased $10.1 million or 112% to $19.2 million in fiscal 2000, compared to $9.0 million in 1999. The increase in net cash flow from operating activities principally consisted of net income, deferred revenue and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, offset by an increase in accounts receivable. Net cash used for investing activities of $18.7 million included $5.2 million for an equity and debt with warrants investment in Alp Mapping Co., Ltd., $1.0 million for an equity investment in Karrtakeskus Oy, $5.6 million for purchases of computer equipment and property and $6.1 million in net purchases of short-term investments. Net cash from financing activities was $3.6 million and consisted of $5.8 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and share issuances under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan offset by $2.2 million of repurchased shares of common stock.
Management believes existing cash and short-term investments together with funds generated from operations should be sufficient to meet the Company's operating requirements for the next twelve months.
The On Target Communications, Inc. Acquisition
Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated December 15, 1998, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of On Target Communications, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation doing business as On Target Mapping. A MapInfo value-added reseller since 1992, On Target Mapping delivers data products and solutions for large telecommunications providers. The purchase price was approximately $2.2 million in cash, net of cash acquired. In addition, the Company will be obligated to make a contingent cash payment in March 2001, based on the financial performance of On Target Mapping in the two years following the acquisition. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase; and, accordingly, the Company has included On Target Mapping's results of operations in the financial statements from the date of acquisition. Intangible assets resulting from the acquisition, including goodwill, are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of five years.
Investment in Alps Mapping Co., Ltd.
In March 2000, the Company acquired 16.7% of the outstanding common stock of Alps Mapping Co., Ltd. ("Alps"), a leading data provider headquartered in Nagoya, Japan. The Company invested 100 million Yen (approximately $1.0 million) to acquire the 16.7% equity position and 400 million Yen (approximately $3.7 million) in three debt instruments with warrants that could be converted over time into as much as a 51% common stock ownership position. The companies have also executed an operating agreement whereby MapInfo will assist in the development of new data products for the Japanese market and the integration of these products with the full suite of MapInfo software products and solutions. In addition, the Company may be obligated to make a contingent cash payment in October 2004 of up to $2.0 million to the Company's investment bankers, based on the financial performance of Alps in the four years following the investment. This investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
Investment in Karttakeskus Oy
In January 2000, the Company paid $1.0 million for 19.9% of the outstanding common stock of its distributor in Finland, Karttakeskus Oy ("Karttakeskus"), a mapping technology and solutions company. From January 2000 to September 2000 this investment was accounted for under the equity method of accounting. In September 2000, the Company consented to a merger of Geodata Oy, a Finnish company and Karttakeskus. Geodata Oy is a wholly owned subsidiary of Werner Sö derström Osakeyhtiö, a publicly traded Finnish company. The Company's equity ownership in the new company is 10% of the outstanding common stock and accordingly the investment will be accounted for under the cost method of accounting, hereafter.
The Compusearch Inc. Acquisition
Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement executed on November 13, 2000, on December 7, 2000 the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Compusearch Inc. ("Compusearch"), a Canadian corporation. Compusearch is a leading provider of micro-marketing segmentation and market analysis solutions in Canada and has been a strategic data partner of the Company since 1998. The purchase price was approximately $6.3 million in cash. The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase; and, accordingly, the Company will include Compusearch's results of operations in the financial statements from the date of acquisition. Approximately ninety employees of Compusearch became employees of MapInfo Canada Inc. upon the acquisition.
Accounting standards
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. It requires that entities recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. In June 2000, SFAS No. 133 was amended by SFAS No. 138 "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities". Both SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Accordingly, the Company will adopt SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 effective October 1, 2000. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 will have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," which is effective no later than the fourth fiscal quarter of the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 1999. SAB No. 101 clarifies the SEC's views related to revenue recognition and disclosure. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SAB No. 101 will have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation - an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25" ("FIN 44"). FIN 44 clarifies the application of APB Opinion No. 25 and among other issues clarifies the following: the definition of an employee for purposes of applying APB Opinion No. 25; the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan; the accounting consequences of various modifications to the terms of previously fixed stock options or awards; and the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination. The Company adopted FIN 44 effective July 1, 2000.
Outlook: Issues and Risks
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, including statements as to the sufficiency of funds to meet operating requirements for the next 12 months. The following important factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and presented elsewhere by management from time to time. In addition to the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the following issues and risks, among others, should be considered in evaluating MapInfo's outlook and future.
New products and technological change. The mapping software and information business is characterized by extremely rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, and frequent new product introductions. These conditions require continuous expenditures on product research and development to enhance existing products and to create new products. The Company believes that the timely development of new products and continuing enhancements to existing products is essential to maintain its competitive position in the marketplace. During recent years, the Company introduced a number of new products, including SpatialWare®, TargetPro™, deciBel Planner™, MapXsite®, MapXtreme™ and MapInfo MapX®. The Company also recently began undertaking broad initiatives in wireless and CRM applications. The Company's future success depends, in part, upon customer and market acceptance of these new products and iniatives. Any failure to achieve acceptance of these and other new product offerings could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations.
There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully complete the development of new or enhanced products or successfully manage transitions from one product release to the next.
Competition. The Company encounters significant competition in the market for business mapping systems worldwide. Some of the Company's competition may have significant name recognition, as well as substantially greater capital resources, marketing experience, research and development staffs and production facilities than the Company. Increased competition may lead to pricing pressures that could adversely affect the Company's gross margins. Prices of software in Europe and Asia are generally higher than in the Americas to cover localization costs and higher costs of distribution. Such price uplifts could erode in the future.
Reliance on third parties. The Company relies in part on strategic partners and independent developers for the development of certain specialized software and data products that MapInfo licenses and markets. Failure by such strategic partners or independent developers to continue to develop such products, or changes in the contractual arrangements with such strategic partners or independent developers, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations.
Risks associated with international operations. Revenues outside the Americas represented approximately 40% of total Company revenues in fiscal 2000. The international portion of the Company's business is subject to a number of inherent risks, including the difficulties in building and managing international operations, reliance on financial commitments from certain international distributors, difficulties in localizing products and translating documentation into foreign languages, fluctuations in import/export duties and quotas, and regulatory, economic, or political changes in international markets. The Company's operating results are also affected by exchange rates. Approximately 26% of the Company's revenues were denominated in foreign currencies during fiscal 2000. Changes in international business conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations.
Prices. Future prices the Company is able to obtain for its products may decrease from previous levels depending upon market or competitive pressures or distribution channel factors. Any decrease could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations.
Intellectual property rights. The Company regards its software as proprietary and attempts to protect it with a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, employee and third-party non-disclosure agreements, and other methods of protection. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy certain portions of the Company's products, reverse engineer or obtain and use information the Company regards as proprietary. In addition, the Company's shrink-wrap licenses, under which the Company licenses its products, may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. Also, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect the Company's proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Any misappropriation of the Company's intellectual property could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against the Company in the future with respect to current or future products. Any such assertion could require the Company to enter into royalty arrangements or result in costly litigation.
Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues varies with the mix of technology development and licensing fees, product revenues, and services revenues, as well as with the distribution channel mix. Changes in the revenue mix, as well as the distribution model, may affect cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues in the future.
Risks associated with distribution channels. The Company primarily markets and distributes its products in North America, Europe and Australia through the Company's telesales, outside sales force and through third-party resellers. In the rest of the Asia-Pacific region, the Company's products are marketed and distributed through exclusive and non-exclusive distribution relationships. The Company has limited control over resellers and distributors that are not employees of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to retain its current resellers and distributors, that the resellers and distributors will perform to the Company's expectations, or that the Company will be able to expand its distribution channels by entering into arrangements with new resellers and distributors in the Company's current markets or in new markets.
Variability of quarterly operating results. The Company's quarterly operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter, depending upon factors such as the introduction and market acceptance of new products and new versions of existing products, the ability to reduce expenses, and the activities of competitors. Because a high percentage of the Company's expenses are relatively fixed in the near term, minor variations in the timing of orders and shipments can cause significant variations in quarterly operating results. The Company operates with little or no backlog and has no long-term contracts, and substantially all of its product revenues in each quarter result from software licenses issued in that quarter. Accordingly, the Company's ability to accurately forecast future revenues and income for any period is necessarily limited.
Potential volatility of stock price. There has been, and will likely continue to be, significant volatility in the market price of securities of technology companies. Factors such as announcements of new products by the Company or its competitors, quarterly fluctuations in the Company's financial results or other software companies' financial results, shortfalls in the Company's actual financial results compared to results previously forecasted by stock market analysts, and general conditions in the software industry and conditions in the financial markets could cause the market price of the Common Stock to fluctuate substantially. These market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of the Company's Common Stock.
Risks associated with acquisitions and investments. The Company has made a number of acquisitions and investments and will continue to review future acquisition opportunities. No assurances can be given that acquisition candidates will continue to be available on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including, among other things, possible dilution to existing shareholders, difficulties and expenses incurred in connection with the acquisitions and the subsequent assimilation of the operations and services or products of the acquired companies, the difficulty of operating new businesses, the diversion of management's attention from other business concerns and the potential loss of key employees of the acquired company. In the event that the operations of an acquired business do not meet expectations, the Company may be required to restructure the acquired business or write-off the value of some or all of the assets of the acquired business. There can be no assurance that any acquisition will be successfully integrated into the Company's operations.
Reliance on attracting and retaining key employees. The Company's continued success will depend in large part on its ability to attract and retain highly qualified technical, managerial, sales and marketing, executive, and other personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to attract or retain such personnel. Loss of key personnel or changes in management could have an adverse impact on the Company.

Report Of Independent Accountants
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Maplnfo Corporation and Subsidiaries:
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 14(a) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MapInfo Corporation and its subsidiaries at September 30, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 14(a) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

MapInfo Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except share data)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
MapInfo designs, develops, markets, licenses and supports software and data products, application development tools, and industry-focused solutions, together with a range of consulting, training and technical support services. These products are sold through multiple distribution channels, including an indirect channel of value-added resellers and distributors, a corporate account sales force, and a telemarketing sales group. The Company's products are translated into 20 languages and sold in 58 countries throughout the world. MapInfo markets its products worldwide through sales offices in North America, Europe and Australia, and throughout the rest of Europe and the Asia-Pacific region through exclusive and non-exclusive distribution relationships.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MapInfo Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the cash flows statements, the Company defines cash and cash equivalents as cash and investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market as determined on the average cost method and consist primarily of computer media, user manuals and software packaging supplies.
Short-term Investments
The Company's short-term investments consist of debt securities with maturity dates of one year or less. In accordance with SFAS No. 115, debt securities have been classified in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as held-to-maturity securities and are reported at amortized cost because the Company has the positive intent and the ability to hold these debt securities to maturity. Market value is determined by quoted market prices.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (two to seven years) for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for tax purposes. When assets are sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of, the applicable costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized.
Product Development Costs
Product development costs, including product enhancements, are capitalized after technological feasibility has been established. These costs are reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over two to five years, the estimated economic life of the products. Annual amortization under the straight-line method is greater than the ratio of current gross revenue to total expected product revenues method.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets represent the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. Intangible assets are being amortized over the estimated lives using the straight-line method over five to ten years. The Company continually evaluates the existence of impairment on the basis of whether the intangible asset is fully recoverable from projected, undiscounted net cash flows of the related business activity.
Revenue Recognition
Product revenue: Revenue from software and data product licenses and technology development fees is recognized upon the later of shipment of product or completion of significant obligations to customers, provided collectibility of the resulting receivable is probable.
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Revenue: Revenue from products licensed to original equipment manufacturers is recorded when the product has been shipped and all obligations of the Company have been satisfied, provided collectibility of the resulting receivable is probable.
Value Added Reseller (VAR) Sales: Revenue from product sales to distributors and VAR's is recorded when related products are shipped, provided collectibility of the resulting receivable is probable.
Postcontract customer support (PCS): PCS, inclusive of technical support and maintenance, may be bundled with an initial licensing fee or sold separately. In either case, the fair value of the PCS arrangement is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement, generally over a one to two year period, provided collectibility of the resulting receivable is probable.
Services revenue: Revenue from services such as training and consulting are recognized as the services are performed, provided collectibility of the resulting receivable is probable.
Reserve for Returns
The Company as a matter of policy provides the buyer the right to return certain products within a stated period ranging from 30-60 days, for a refund of the purchase price or replacement of the product. Accordingly, the Company accrues for estimated future returns.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses all advertising costs as they are incurred.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable for future years to differences between financial statement and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. The effect of tax rate changes on deferred taxes is recognized in the income tax provision in the period that includes the enactment date.
Business tax credits are recorded by the flow-through method of accounting, whereby they are applied as a reduction of income tax expense in the year the credits are utilized.
Foreign Currency
The assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are translated at year-end exchange rates, and the income statements are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Gains or losses resulting from translating non-U.S. currency financial statements are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders' equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net income. The Company's exposure to foreign currency risk is mitigated, in part, by the fact that it incurs certain operating costs in the same foreign currencies in which revenues are denominated.
Computation of Earnings Per Share
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128 - "Earnings Per Share", earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and diluted common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Diluted common equivalent shares consist of stock options using the treasury stock method.
Stock Split
During January 2000 and September 2000, the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock were split three-for-two, which were effected in the form of stock dividends. All prior share amounts have been restated to reflect the stock splits.
Segment Information
In 1999, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131 - "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 supercedes SFAS No. 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise." Under the new standard the Company is required to use the "management" approach to reporting its segments. The management approach designates that the internal organization that is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company's segments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. It requires that entities recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.
In June 2000, SFAS No. 133 was amended by SFAS No. 138 "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities". Both SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Accordingly, the Company will adopt SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 effective October 1, 2000. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 will have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," which is effective no later than the fourth fiscal quarter of the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 1999. SAB No. 101 clarifies the SEC's views related to revenue recognition and disclosure. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SAB No. 101 will have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation - an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25" ("FIN 44"). FIN 44 clarifies the application of APB Opinion No. 25 and among other issues clarifies the following: the definition of an employee for purposes of applying APB Opinion No. 25; the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan; the accounting consequences of various modifications to the terms of previously fixed stock options or awards; and the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination. The Company adopted FIN 44 effective July 1, 2000.

The Company invested 100,000 Yen (approximately $1,000) to acquire the 16.7% equity position and 400,000 Yen (approximately $3,700) in three debt instruments with warrants that could be converted over time into as much as a 51% common stock ownership position. The companies have also executed an operating agreement whereby MapInfo will assist in the development of new data products for the Japanese market and the integration of these products with the full suite of MapInfo software products and solutions. In addition, the Company may be obligated to make a contingent cash payment in October 2004 of up to $2,000 to the Company's investment bankers, based on the financial performance of Alps in the four years following the investment. This investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
Karttakeskus Oy
In January 2000, the Company paid $1,000 for 19.9% of the outstanding common stock of its distributor in Finland, Karttakeskus Oy ("Karttakeskus"), a mapping technology and solutions company. From January 2000 to September 2000 this investment was accounted for under the equity method of accounting. In September 2000, the Company consented to a merger of Geodata Oy, a Finnish company and Karttakeskus. Geodata Oy is a wholly owned subsidiary of Werner Söderström Osakeyhtiö, a publicly traded Finnish company.

There are no valuation allowances recorded against the Company's deferred tax assets, as it is more likely than not that all future tax benefits will be realized against future taxable income. However, the amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable could be reduced in the future if estimates of future taxable income are reduced.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Under the 1993 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the Company is authorized to issue up to 1,012,500 shares of common stock to its full-time employees, nearly all of whom are eligible to participate. Under the terms of the plan, shares of the Company's common stock may be purchased at six-month intervals at 85% of the lower of the fair value on the first or last day of each six-month period. Employees may purchase shares having a value not exceeding 10% of their gross compensation during an offering period. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998, employees purchased 125,800, 195,134 and 172,490 shares, respectively.
Stock Option Plans
The Company has stock option plans under which employees, officers, and directors are eligible to participate, which provide for non-qualified and incentive stock options. Typically, options granted under the plans provide for an option exercise price equal to the fair market value at the date of grant. Options granted prior to July 1996 typically vest over 5 years and 1 day and expire 10 years from the date of grant. Options granted after June 1996 typically vest over 4 years and expire 10 years from the date of grant.

The Company follows APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", to account for stock option and employee stock purchase plans. No compensation cost is recognized because the option exercise price is equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Had compensation cost for these plans been determined based on the Black-Scholes value at the grant dates for awards as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", pro forma net income and earnings per share would have been:

The weighted average fair value of options granted under the plans during fiscal years 2000, 1999 and 1998 were $8.92, $3.68 and $3.09, respectively. The weighted average assumptions for the various option plans range from:

13. Deferred Compensation Plans
The Company's deferred compensation arrangements consist principally of a 401(k) plan, which covers substantially all U.S.-based employees who have met certain service requirements. Employees may contribute up to 15% of their pretax income and 10% on an after-tax basis (up to the maximum established by the IRS each year) to the plan. Beginning January 1, 2000, the Company may at its option contribute up to $0.50 for each $1.00 contributed by a participant to the plan, up to a maximum of 4% of the participant's annual compensation. Deferred compensation expense for the years ended September 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $548, $265 and $240, respectively.
14. Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company's investment portfolio consists of short-term investment grade securities. At September 30, 2000, the Company had $1,100 in U.S. banks in excess of insured limits and $737 in uninsured foreign banks. The Company sells a significant portion of its product through third-party distributors.
15. Segment Information
The Company's operations involve the design, development, marketing, licensing and support of software and data products, application development tools, and industry-specific solutions, together with a range of consulting, training and technical support services.
The Company conducts business globally and is managed geographically. The Company's management relies on an internal management accounting system. This system includes revenue and cost information by geographic location. Revenues are attributed to a geographic location based on the origination of the order from the customer. The Company's management makes financial decisions and allocates resources based on the information it receives from this internal system. Based on the criteria set forth in SFAS No. 131, the Company has three reportable segments: the Americas, EAME (Europe, Africa and the Middle East) and Asia-Pacific.
Summarized financial information by segment for 2000, 1999 and 1998, as taken from the internal management accounting system discussed above, is as follows:

The operating income by segment above differs from the amounts recognized under generally accepted accounting principles because the Company does not allocate certain corporate costs for research and development, marketing, and general and administrative activities to the geographic locations. The table above reconciles the operating income by segment to operating income as reported on the Income Statements by including such adjustments.
Enterprise-wide information is provided in accordance with SFAS No. 131. Geographic revenue information is based on the ordering location of the customer. Long-lived assets information is based on the physical location of the assets.
The following is revenue and long-lived assets information for geographic locations.

The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase; and, accordingly, the Company has included On Target Mapping's results of operations in the financial statements from the date of acquisition. Intangible assets resulting from the acquisition, including goodwill, are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of five years.
