PIVOTAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(EXPRESSED IN UNITED STATES DOLLARS; ALL AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS
EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
(UNAUDITED)



1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for the presentation of interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. In Pivotal’s opinion, these financial statements include all adjustments necessary (which are of a normal and recurring nature) for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in Pivotal’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2002. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.

2.     BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On October 23, 2002, Pivotal acquired 100% of MarketFirst Software, Inc. (“MarketFirst”), a privately-held company based in Mountain View, California that provides technology to help companies automate their marketing processes. MarketFirst’s marketing automation software extends the Pivotal CRM suite and expands Pivotal’s revenue opportunity with new and existing customers. The results of operations of MarketFirst Software, Inc. are included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations since the acquisition date, and the related assets and liabilities were recorded based upon their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. Pivotal paid an aggregate purchase price of $584 consisting of 725 common shares and cash of $265, which includes acquisition related expenditures of $210.

The total consideration paid by Pivotal for MarketFirst, including acquisition costs, was allocated based on estimated fair values on the acquisition date as follows:

Assets acquired (including cash of    
   $2,780)  $ 5,499  
Liabilities assumed  8,354  

Net identifiable assets (liabilities)  (2,855 )
  acquired 
Goodwill and other intangibles  3,439  

Purchase price  $    584  

Consideration 
     Cash  $    265  
     Fair value of common shares issued  319  

   $    584  


Prior to the date of acquisition by the Company, MarketFirst implemented restructuring plans that included a reduction in headcount and facilities abandonment to align its expenses and revenue levels. The fair value of






obligations related to this restructuring, which consist principally of facilities lease obligations and employee severance, were recorded as liabilities on the consolidated financial statements of Pivotal as at the date of the acquisition. Of the remaining balance of this restructuring liability of $2,846 at December 31, 2002, $1,284 will be paid over the remainder of fiscal 2003 and the remaining balance of $1,562 will be paid over the associated lease terms, which range from one to two years.

The following table presents the unaudited pro forma results of operations for informational purposes assuming Pivotal had acquired MarketFirst at the beginning of the fiscal 2001 year.

Basic and diluted net loss per share  $  (0.59 ) $  (2.84 ) $  (1.01 ) $  (3.94 )


Included in the pro forma net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, are restructuring costs and other charges of $12,727 and $54,463. For the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, included are charges of $12,307 and $56,388 for restructuring costs and other charges, and charges of $0 and $1,268 for discontinued operations. This information may not necessarily be indicative of the future combined results of operations of Pivotal and MarketFirst.

3.     GOODWILL AND OTHER ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141 (SFAS 141), “Business Combinations” and Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 (SFAS 142), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.

SFAS 141 requires that business combinations be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and addresses the initial recognition and measurement of assets acquired, including goodwill and intangibles, and liabilities assumed in a business combination. The Company adopted SFAS 141 on a prospective basis effective July 1, 2001. The adoption of SFAS 141 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements, but will impact the accounting treatment of future acquisitions.

SFAS 142 requires goodwill to be allocated to, and assessed as part of, a reporting unit. Further, SFAS 142 specifies that goodwill will no longer be amortized but instead will be subject to impairment tests at least annually. In conjunction with the implementation of SFAS 142, Pivotal completed the first of the required SFAS 142 transitional impairment tests during the second quarter of fiscal 2003 and concluded that there was no impairment of recorded goodwill. The fair value of its reporting unit, determined based on a combination of the present value of expected future cash flows, analysis of qualitative factors, and consideration of market capitalization as of October 31, 2002 exceeded the carrying amount of recorded goodwill as of October 31, 2002. Therefore, the second step of the transitional impairment test under SFAS 142 was not required to be performed.

Changes to the estimates used in step one analysis, including estimated future cash flows, could cause the reporting unit to be valued differently in future periods. Future analysis could possibly result in a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of up to $10,895, depending on the estimated value of the reporting unit and the value of the net assets attributable to the reporting unit at that time.

The Company adopted SFAS 142 on a prospective basis at the beginning of fiscal 2003 and stopped amortizing goodwill totaling $7.3 million, thereby eliminating annual goodwill amortization of approximately $6.0 million in fiscal 2003. Net loss and net loss per share adjusted to exclude goodwill amortization for the comparative period ended December 31, 2002 are as follows:

7.    SEGMENTED INFORMATION

Pivotal’s business involves the development, marketing, and supporting of Internet and corporate network-based software applications used for managing customer and selling partner relationships. Pivotal licenses and markets products internationally and is in a single industry segment, specifically the license, implementation and support of its software. Pivotal’s chief operating decision maker reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues by geographic region for the purpose of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.

During the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of Pivotal’s total revenue.






8.    RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER CHARGES

During the year ended June 30, 2002, in light of the significant downturn in the North American and global economies, and the related impact on corporate capital spending, management approved restructuring plans to align Pivotal’s cost structure with management’s revised revenue expectations. In connection with these plans, Pivotal recorded charges of $53,576 related to both restructuring activities and intangible asset writedowns. These charges included restructuring costs of $20,589 associated with workforce reduction, consolidation of excess facilities, contract settlements and tangible asset impairments. In addition, Pivotal recorded a charge of $32,987 related to the impairment of previously recorded goodwill and other purchased intangible assets.

During the three month period ended December 31, 2002, restructuring plans were implemented to align Pivotal’s cost structure with changing market conditions and to create a more efficient organization. In connection with these plans, Pivotal recorded a charge of $8,596 in the quarter ended December 31, 2002. This charge included costs associated with workforce reduction, consolidation of excess facilities, contract settlements and asset impairments.

Pivotal does not currently expect to incur additional material restructuring charges in subsequent periods, however unforeseen changes in business circumstances could require additional restructuring initiatives. Adjustments to the restructuring reserves will be made in future periods, if necessary, based upon actual events and circumstances at the time.

Changes in the restructuring reserve were as follows:

  Workforce
Reduction
Excess
Facilities/Asset
Impairments
Contract
Settlement

Workforce reduction charges of $3,302 for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2002, were related to the cost of severance and benefits associated with approximately 120 employees notified of termination during






the three months ended December 31, 2002, across Pivotal’s sales, marketing, research and development, professional services and administrative departments.

In connection with the above noted workforce reduction, Pivotal identified a number of leased office facilities that were no longer required. As a result, Pivotal recorded net lease costs of approximately $8,807. The costs primarily related to Pivotal’s future contractual obligations under operating leases. The remaining lease commitments will be paid over the respective lease terms through to 2008. Offsetting the total lease charge was approximately $4,452 in net expected sublease revenue. The estimated costs to exit the facilities, including expected sublease revenues, are based on available commercial rates and an estimate of the time required to sublet the facilities. The charge may be increased in future periods if further consolidations are required or if sublease income is less than expected. In addition, leasehold improvements located at the closed facilities and associated furniture and equipment were determined to be impaired and were written down to estimated realizable value, net of estimated disposal costs. The total write down of capital assets in the three months ended December 31, 2002 amounted to $487.

Contract settlement and other costs of $452 for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2002 were comprised of the remaining commitments on operating lease contracts for equipment made redundant due to the restructuring activities. If additional contracts are cancelled in future periods, or if additional unforeseen costs are incurred in respect of current contracts, this charge may increase.

During the three months and six months ended December 31, 2001, Pivotal recorded workforce reduction charges of $2,844 and $3,176, respectively, related to severance and related benefits to approximately 50 and 150, respectively, terminated employees. The workforce reductions were primarily in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom and extended across all departments.

During the three months and six months ended December 31, 2001, Pivotal recorded charges of $949 and $9,695, respectively, related to the consolidation of facilities and impairment of certain assets. These charges for the three months ended December 31, 2001 included $4,842 of asset impairments for certain capital assets that were either abandoned during the period or for which the resulting estimated future reduced cash flows were insufficient to cover the carrying amounts of the related assets. The remainder of the charges related to the consolidation of facilities and represent remaining lease commitments, net of expected sublease income, and other costs related to the closure of certain corporate facilities, sales offices and research and development centers for activities that have been exited or restructured. The remaining lease commitments will be paid over the respective lease terms through to June 2007. The estimated costs to exit the facilities, including expected sublease revenues, are based on available commercial rates and an estimate of the time required to sublet the facilities. The charge may be increased in future periods if further consolidations are required or if sublease income is less than expected.

During the three months and six months ended December 31, 2001, Pivotal recorded charges of $644 and $4,058, respectively for contract settlement costs including penalties expected to be incurred due to Pivotal’s withdrawal from certain purchase and partner contracts and for various unrecoverable prepaid expenses related to future services forfeited as a direct result of the restructuring activities.

As part of Pivotal’s review of financial results during the three months ended December 31, 2001, Pivotal performed an impairment assessment of identifiable intangible assets and goodwill recorded in connection with its past acquisitions. The impairment assessment was performed due to changes in overall economic conditions that had negatively impacted Pivotal’s revenues and forecasted revenue growth rate. As a result, an impairment charge of $32,987 was recorded to reduce goodwill associated with acquisitions and other purchased intangibles to their estimated fair values. This impairment charge was primarily associated with the acquisitions of Exactium Ltd., Digital Conversations Inc. (formerly Simba Technologies Inc.), Software Spectrum CRM, Inc. and Project One Business Technologies Inc.

9.     RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”(“SFAS No. 146”). SFAS No. 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities. SFAS No. 146 also






addresses recognition of certain costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease, costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees, and termination benefits provided to employees that are involuntarily terminated under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred-compensation contract. As SFAS No. 146 is effective only for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, Pivotal does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.” SFAS 148 amends SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of that statement. The disclosure provisions of this statement are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2002 and will become effective for us commencing with the third quarter of its 2003 fiscal year. Pivotal does not currently have plans to change to the fair value method of accounting for its stock-based compensation.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (“FIN 45”) FIN 45 requires a company, at the time it issues a guarantee, to recognize an initial liability for the fair value of obligations assumed under the guarantee and elaborates on existing disclosure requirements related to guarantees and warranties. The initial recognition requirements of FIN 45 are effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and adoption of the disclosure requirements are effective for us for the second quarter ending December 31, 2002. Pivotal does not expect the adoption of FIN 45 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

As part of our standard software license agreement, we normally provide our customers with a limited warranty concerning the operations of our software and an indemnification with respect to damages suffered by our customers as a result of any infringement by our software products of third intellectual property rights. The warranties generally expire after one year, and the indemnities continue indefinitely for all customers using the then current version of our software products. In our experience, the cost of these warranties and indemnifications have not been significant and therefore the recognition of a separate liability reserve has not been considered necessary.

10.    EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN

Under APB Opinion No. 25, because the exercise price of Pivotal’s employee stock options generally equals the fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. An alternative method of accounting for stock options is SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Under SFAS No. 123, employee stock options are valued at the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model and the resultant compensation cost is recognized ratably over the vesting period. Had compensation cost for Pivotal’s share option plan been determined based on the Black-Scholes value at the grant dates for awards as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the pro forma net loss and basic and diluted loss per share would have been as follows:






  Three months ended
December 31,
Six months ended
December 31,
  2002       2001       2002       2001      




Net loss under APB 25   (11,815 ) (63,004 ) (20,630 ) (85,591 )
   Add back deferred share-based compensation  6   14   12   28  
   Less stock compensation expense using fair 
     value method  (783 ) (6,628 ) (6,999 ) (13,256 )




Net loss under SFAS 123  (12,592 ) (69,618 ) (27,617 ) (98,819 )




Basic and diluted loss per share: 
   As reported  (0.47 ) (2.63 ) (0.83 ) (3.57 )
   SFAS No. 123 pro forma  (0.50 ) (2.90 ) (1.12 ) (4.12 )

Compensation expense recognized in providing pro forma disclosures may not be representative of the effects on pro forma earnings for future years since SFAS No. 123 applies only to options granted after 1996.

The weighted average Black-Scholes option pricing model value of options granted under the share option plan during the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 were U.S. $0.55, and U.S. $3.46 per share, respectively. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the following weighted average assumptions:

11.    CREDIT FACILITIES

On December 30, 2002, Pivotal signed a credit agreement with a U.S. based bank. The agreement provides Pivotal with a $7,000 credit facility and is secured by a charge on all accounts receivable, inventory, chattel paper, equipment and fixtures and a negative pledge relating to Pivotal’s general intangibles. As at December 31, 2002, Pivotal had issued standby letters of credit totaling $6,454 under the facility, and was in compliance with all associated covenants.

On December 24, 2002, Pivotal amended its existing credit agreement with a Canadian based bank. Under the amended agreement, the facility is limited to the amount of outstanding letters of credit and is secured by either cash or back-to-back letters of credit. At December 31, 2002 $1,240 of the outstanding letters of credit were secured by cash and the remaining $5,214 million were secured by back-to-back letters of credit.

12.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the year ended June 30, 2001, Pivotal loaned Cdn$124 to its General Counsel and Assistant Secretary. This loan is non-interest bearing and is unsecured. Pursuant to an agreement dated May 29, 2002, Cdn$33 of the loan has been repaid and the outstanding balance of the loan will be repaid through the offset of future incentive compensation, and will become due and payable in full in the event Pivotal’s General Counsel and Assistant Secretary ceases to be employed by Pivotal.

On October 1, 2001, Pivotal entered into a consulting agreement with Christopher Lochhead. Mr. Lochhead was appointed to Pivotal’s Board of Directors on November 27, 2001. Pursant to the consulting agreement, Pivotal agreed to pay Mr. Lochhead a retainer of $12 per month in exchange for Mr. Lochhead providing a pre-determined number of monthly consulting hours. Mr. Lochhead may charge an additional fee if the pre-determined number of monthly consulting hours is exceeded. During the three month and six month periods ended December 31, 2002, Pivotal paid Mr. Lochhead $0 and $47 overall, respectively, pursuant to the agreement. The consulting agreement with Christopher Lochhead was terminated effective September 30, 2002.

Developments in Fiscal Year 2003

On October 3, 2002, we announced corporate restructuring initiatives, which included a company-wide workforce reduction representing approximately 27% of our total workforce, consolidation of excess facilities and restructuring of certain business functions. We believe that this new headcount enables us to align with both the current demand in the market for customer relationship management software products as well as the anticipated growth within that same market. We incurred a charge to operations of $8.6 million related to the restructuring in the quarter ending December 31, 2002. Total cash outlays under the restructuring were $2.3 million during the quarter ended December






31, 2002 and the non-cash portion was $0.5 million. Of the remaining balance, which relates principally to lease payments on redundant facilities and equipment, $4.2 million will be paid over the remainder of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2003 and the remaining balance will be paid over the associated lease terms, which range from one to ten years. The total restructuring charge and related cash outlay are based on management’s estimates, which may change as the restructuring plan is finalized. Additional charges may be incurred in future periods depending on business conditions and management’s ability to achieve targeted expense levels.

In October 2002 we opened a development center in Bangalore, India and incorporated a wholly-owned Indian subsidiary. As of December 31, 2002 we had four full-time employees in India. We intend to continue to increase head count in India over the next 12 months. The Indian development center will primarily perform software development to augment our North American development teams. We expect that our total research and development costs will remain approximately flat for the remainder of fiscal 2003 as costs related to the Indian operation will be offset by a reduction of contractor and other costs in North America.

On October 23, 2002, we acquired 100% of MarketFirst Software, Inc. (“MarketFirst”), a privately-held company based in Mountain View, California that provides technology to help companies automate and manage their marketing processes. Accordingly, the results of operations of MarketFirst Software Inc. are included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations since the acquisition date, and the related assets and liabilities were recorded based upon their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. We paid an aggregate purchase price of $0.6 million consisting of 725,000 common shares and cash of $0.3 million, which includes acquisition related expenditures of $0.2 million. The impact of the acquisition on operations for the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2002 is not considered material.

Sources of Revenue and Revenue Recognition Policy

We derive our revenues from the sale of (a) licenses and, (b) services and maintenance. License and maintenance revenues are normally generated from licensing our products to end-users, value added resellers and application service providers and, to a lesser extent, through distribution of third-party products. Service revenues are generated from consulting services and education services sold to end-users.

We recognize license revenues on delivery of our solutions to the customer when all of the following conditions have been satisfied:

 

there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement (we consider a binding, non-cancelable agreement signed by us and the customer to be persuasive evidence of an arrangement);


 

the fee is fixed or determinable (we consider the fee to be fixed or determinable if the fee is not subject to refund or adjustment and if we have not granted extended payment terms to the customer); and


 

the collection of the license fee is probable (we consider collection to be probable if our internal credit analysis indicates that the customer will be able to pay amounts as they become due under the arrangement).


Revenues for multiple-element arrangements, which could consist of software licenses, upgrades, enhancements, maintenance and consulting services, are allocated among the component elements based upon the relative fair value of each element. The fair value of each element is determined by the price charged by us when that element is sold separately, or, in the case of an element not yet sold separately, by the price established by authorized management, if it is probable that the price, once established, will not change before market introduction.

We enter into reseller and sub-licensing arrangements that provide a fee payable to us based on a percentage of list prices. We recognize revenue only on the net fee payable to us from the reseller upon sell-through to the end customer by the reseller.

We typically sell first year maintenance with the related software license. Revenue related to maintenance is recognized evenly over the term of the maintenance contract, typically one year.

We recognize revenue from consulting, implementation services and education as these services are performed. We derive revenue from these services primarily on a time-and-materials basis under a separate service arrangement






with the customer. In circumstances where we enter into fixed-price service contracts, revenue is recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis, which is measured based upon actual person-hours performed. Much of the implementation services provided to our customers in connection with installations of our solutions are provided by third-party consulting and implementation service providers. These third-party service providers ordinarily contract directly with the customer.

Revenues

In the quarter ended December 31, 2002, total revenues decreased 4% to $16.1 million as compared to total revenues of $16.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2001. Total revenues for the six month period ended December 31, 2002 were $28.4 million compared with $32.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2001, representing a decrease of 14%.






The market for our products and related services is unpredictable (our sales are susceptible to fluctuations in the economy and the corresponding effect on corporate purchasing habits can create a reluctance of companies to acquire significant software systems). These market conditions may continue to deteriorate. The severity and duration of any further deterioration may compel us to consider further reductions in our workforce to realign with those new market conditions, on either a regional or global scale, or both. Any further deterioration in market conditions could adversely impact our ability to develop, deliver and/or service our existing and new products, as well as our ability to attract, maintain and service our customers.

Licenses

In the quarter ended December 31, 2002, revenues from licenses increased 2% to $7.0 million as compared to revenues from licenses $6.9 million for quarter ended December 31, 2001. Revenues from licenses for the six months ended December 31, 2002 were $10.2 million compared with $12.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2001, representing a decrease of 21%.

For the six months ended December 31, 2002, our revenue from licenses decreased as a result of the continued economic slowdown through calendar 2002 and the resulting impact on corporate capital spending. We have observed an overall reduction in corporate capital budgets and continue to experience unpredictable selling cycles. Our license revenues depend on the overall demand for customer relationship management products, and the overall demand for our software depends in large part on the general economic and business conditions. Additionally, in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 we experienced contract losses with some customers due to customer concerns over the rapid decline of our stock price in the latter half of September 2002 and whether such decline indicated issues within Pivotal.

Revenues from licenses represented 44% and 41% of total revenues for the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. During the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, revenues for licenses represented 36% and 39% of total revenues. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of our revenues for the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 or for the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. North American license revenues accounted for 59% and 41% of total license revenues in the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. During the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, North American license revenues accounted for 55% and 51% of total license revenues.

Services and Maintenance

Revenues from services and maintenance decreased 8% to $9.1 million from $9.8 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. During the quarter ended December 31, 2002, we experienced an increase of $0.5 million in revenues from technical support and maintenance contracts as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2001, which entitle the customer to new versions of the solutions and to technical support and maintenance services, and a decrease of $1.3 million in revenues from implementation, education and consulting service engagements.

During the six months ended December 31, 2002, revenues from services and maintenance decreased 9% to $18.2 million as compared to the same period in 2001 when revenues from services and maintenance were $19.9 million. Revenue relating to maintenance has increased due to an increased customer base and renewals of technical support and maintenance contracts upon expiration of first year maintenance arrangements. This resulted in an increase of $1.0 million in revenues from technical support and maintenance contracts which was offset by a decrease of $2.7 million in revenues from implementation, education, and consulting engagements, largely due to lower license sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 2003 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2002.

Our revenues from services and maintenance represented 56% and 59% of total revenues for the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. During the six-month period ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, revenues from services and maintenance represented 64% and 61% of total revenues, respectively. We believe that future revenues from services and maintenance will decrease as a percentage of total revenues as license revenues are anticipated to grow at a greater rate than service and maintenance revenues. We plan to continue to rely on third parties to provide a large part of implementation services to our customers rather than providing those services directly.






Cost of Revenues

Total cost of revenues decreased 13% to $5.6 million, or 35% of total revenues, from $6.5 million, or 39% of total revenues, for the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, total cost of revenues decreased 13% to $11.2 million, or 39% of total revenues, from $12.9 million, or 39% of total revenues. The decrease in total cost of revenues was due to decreased revenues, as well as reduced headcount and related allocations for services and maintenance following our restructuring initiatives in the first and second quarter of fiscal 2002 and the second quarter of fiscal 2003. The decrease in cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues in the quarter ended December 31, 2002 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2001 is due to a change in revenue mix between services and maintenance revenues versus license revenues in the December 2002 quarter compared to the December 2001 quarter.

Licenses

Cost of revenues from licenses increased to approximately $0.9 million from $0.6 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. During the six months ended December 31, 2002 cost of revenues from licenses increased from $1 million to $1.2 million in the prior year period. The increase is due primarily to the increase in products sold on an OEM and reseller basis, resulting in higher costs from third-party technology integrated with our solutions, compared to prior quarters. Cost of revenues from licenses as a percentage of revenues from licenses were 13% and 8% for the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. During the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, cost of revenues from licenses as a percentage of revenues from licenses were 11% and 8%.

We expect that the cost of license revenue as a percentage of license revenue will continue to from fluctuate quarter to quarter depending on sales mix and costs of third-party technology integrated with our solutions, but that it will be in the range of 6% to 8%.

Services and Maintenance

Cost of revenues from services and maintenance consists of personnel and other expenses related to providing maintenance and customer support, education and consulting services. Cost of revenues from services and maintenance will vary depending on the mix of services we provide between support and maintenance, education, implementation and consulting services. Gross profit margins are higher for support and maintenance services than they are for education and consulting services. Support and maintenance services involve the delivery of software upgrades, and customer support. Education and consulting services generally require more involvement by our employees, resulting in higher compensation, travel and similar expenses.

Cost of revenues from services and maintenance decreased 20% to $4.7 million from $5.9 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Cost of revenues from services and maintenance as a percentage of revenues from services and maintenance was 52 % and 60% for the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. During the six months ended December 31, 2002, cost of revenues from services and maintenance decreased 15% to $10.1 million compared to $11.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2001 and decreased to 55% of revenues from services and maintenance from 60% for the six months ended December 31, 2001.

The decrease in cost of revenues from services and maintenance is due primarily to decreased personnel and facilities costs following our restructuring initiatives in fiscal 2002 and 2003.






Operating Expenses

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, bonuses and benefits earned by sales and marketing personnel, direct expenditures such as travel, communication and occupancy for direct sales offices, and marketing expenditures related to advertising, trade shows, direct mail, online marketing and promotion.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased 32% to $7.1 million from $10.5 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. During the six-month periods ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, sales and marketing expense decreased 32% to $16.1 million compared to $23.9 million. The decreased expenditures for both the three and six-month periods ending December 31, 2002 is the result of a reduction in employees and marketing program expenditures following the implementation of our restructuring plans in fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2003, as well as to increased operating efficiencies and decreased commissions due to lower sales. Sales and marketing expenses decreased as a percentage of total revenues to 44% from 63% for the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. During the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, sales and marketing expenses decreased as a percentage of total revenues to 57% from 73%.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses include costs associated with development of new products, enhancements of existing products and quality assurance activities. These costs consist primarily of salaries, benefits and equipment for software engineers, quality assurance personnel, program managers, product managers, technical writers and outside contractors used to augment the research and development efforts. Software development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are included in research and development costs as incurred. Since license revenues from our solutions are not recognized until after technological feasibility has been established, software development costs are not generally expensed in the same period in which license revenues for the developed solutions are recognized. There are no software development costs capitalized on our balance sheet.

Research and development expenses decreased 12% to $4.2 million from $4.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. During the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, research and development expenses decreased 17% from $9.9 million to $8.2 million. This decrease is a result of a reduction in employees and contract labor following the implementation of our restructuring plans in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 and in the three months ended December 31, 2002. Research and development expenses were 26% and 28% of total revenues for the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. During the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, research and development expenses were 29% and 30% of total revenues.

In October 2002, we opened a development center in Bangalore, India and incorporated a wholly-owned Indian subsidiary. As of December 31, 2002 we had four full-time employees in India. We intend to continue to increase head count in India over the next 12 months. The Indian development center will primarily perform software development to augment our North Development teams. We expect that our total research and development costs will remain approximately flat in the short term as costs related to the Indian operation are offset by a reduction of contractor and other costs in North America.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and related costs for executive, finance, administrative and human resources. General and administrative expenses also include legal and other professional fees and bad debt expense.

General and administrative expenses decreased 14% to $2.4 million from $2.8 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. During the six months ended December 31, 2002 general and administrative expenses decreased 45% to $4.4 million from $8.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2001. General and administrative expenses were 15% and 17% of total revenues for the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. During the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively,






general and administrative expenses were 16% and 24% of total revenues. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was due to the fact that general and administrative expense for the six months ended December 31, 2001 included a non-recurring additional $1.9 million charge for doubtful accounts receivable offset by the impact of reduced personnel and facilities costs following our restructuring in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 and in the second quarter of fiscal 2003.

Restructuring Costs and other Charges

During the year ended June 30, 2002, in light of the significant downturn in the North American and global economies, and the related impact on corporate capital spending, management approved restructuring plans to align Pivotal’s cost structure with revised revenue expectations. In connection with these plans, we recorded charges of $53.6 million related to both restructuring activities and intangible asset write downs. These charges included restructuring costs of $20.6 million associated with workforce reduction, consolidation of excess facilities, contract settlements and tangible asset impairments. In addition, we recorded a charge of $33.0 million related to the impairment of previously recorded goodwill and other purchased intangible assets.

During the three month period ended December 31, 2002, further restructuring plans were implemented to align our cost structure with changing market conditions and to create a more efficient organization. In connection with these plans, we recorded a charge of $8.6 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2002. This charge includes costs associated with workforce reduction, consolidation of excess facilities, contract settlements and asset impairments. We do not currently expect to incur additional material restructuring charges in subsequent periods, however unforeseen changes in business circumstances could require additional restructuring initiatives. Adjustments to the restructuring reserves will be made in future periods, if necessary, based upon actual events and circumstances at the time.

Workforce reduction charges of $3.3 million in the three and six months ended December 31, 2002 represented the cost of severance and related benefits of employees affected by the restructuring activities. Excess facility costs of $4.3 million during this period represented lease termination payments, net of expected sublease revenue, and other costs related to the closure of certain corporate facilities and sales offices. Certain leasehold improvements located at the closed facilities and furniture and equipment were determined to be impaired as a result of the restructuring activities and therefore we incurred a charge of $0.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2002 related to the written down to estimated recoverable value, net of estimated disposal costs, for these particular assets. We also incurred a charge of $0.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2002 related to remaining lease commitments on operating lease contracts for equipment made redundant due to the restructuring activities. Refer to Note 8 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements in Part 1 – Item 1 of this quarterly report for details of the changes in the restructuring reserve during the six months ended December 31, 2002.

As a result of the fiscal 2003 restructuring, we expect to achieve annualized savings of approximately $14 million in cost of revenues and operating expenses based on the expenditure levels immediately prior to completion of this restructuring.

Amortization of Goodwill

There was no charge for amortization of goodwill for the three and the six months ended December 31, 2002. Amortization of goodwill was $6.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 and $12.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2001. Due to our adoption of SFAS No. 141 and 142 on July 1, 2002, we no longer amortize goodwill. In conjunction with the implementation of SFAS 142, Pivotal completed the first of the required SFAS 142 transitional impairment tests during the second quarter of 2002 and concluded that there was no impairment of recorded goodwill, as the fair value of its reporting unit exceeded the carrying amount as of October 31, 2002.

Interest and Other Income (Loss)

Interest and other income (loss) consists of earnings on cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments net of interest expense, foreign exchange gains and losses, and gains and losses on investments. Interest and other income (loss) was $0.02 million and $0.5 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. During






the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, interest and other income (loss) was $(0.3) million and $0.7 million. In the quarter ended December 31, 2002, interest and other income (loss) was impacted by lower cash and short term investment balances held during the period and a $0.08 million loss on sale of investments. During the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, interest and other income included a foreign exchange gain of $0.4 million and a loss of $0.1 million, respectively. The other components of interest and other income were not material for the periods presented.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $0.02 million and $0.2 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. During the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, the provision for income taxes was $0.2 million and $0.3 million. These income tax amounts were attributable to our operations in the United States, the United Kingdom and France.

Quarterly Results of Operations

The following tables present our unaudited quarterly results of operations both in absolute dollars and on a percentage of revenue basis for each of our last eight quarters. This data has been derived from unaudited consolidated financial statements that have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, included all normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of such information. These unaudited quarterly results should be read in conjunction with our annual audited consolidated financial statements.

We believe the decrease in revenue commencing in the quarter ended September 30, 2001 is a result of the global economic slowdown and related reluctance of companies to acquire significant software and systems during this time.

Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and will continue to fluctuate in the future as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. As a result of our restructuring initiatives and our limited operating history and recent acquisitions, we cannot forecast operating expenses based on historical results. Accordingly, we base our anticipated level of expense in part on future revenue projections and planned expenditure levels. Most of our expenses are fixed in the short-term and we may not be able to quickly reduce spending if revenues are lower than we have projected. Our ability to forecast our quarterly revenues accurately is limited given the current economic climate, our limited operating history, the length of the sales cycle of our solutions and other uncertainties in our business. If revenues in a particular quarter do not meet projections, our net losses in a given quarter would be greater than expected. As a result, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results are not necessarily meaningful. Investors should not rely on the results of one quarter as an indication of future performance.




Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2002, we had $17.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, $11.3 million in short-term investments, $1.2 million in restricted cash, and $3.3 million in total working capital. Our combined cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and restricted cash balance decreased to $29.9 million at December 31, 2002 from $41.3 million at June 30, 2002. Our working capital decreased to $3.3 million at December 31, 2002 from $23.6 million at June 30,2002. This decrease was principally due to the net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2002.

Net cash used in operating activities was $13.3 million and $17.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $10.5 million and $18.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. During the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, we received proceeds of $9.7 million and $22.3 million, respectively, from the sale and maturity of short-term investments. Net capital expenditures were $1.1 and $0.5 for the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2002, compared to $0.3 million of cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2001.

As of December 31, 2002, our future fixed commitments for cash payments primarily related to obligations under non-cancelable operating and capital leases. We lease facilities under non-cancelable operating leases expiring between 2003 and 2012 and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating and capital leases expiring between 2003 and 2004. Future minimum lease payments and other future fixed commitments for the years ending June 30 are as follows:

Total cash obligations  $50,295   8,703   9,998   6,221   4,604   3,731   17,038  


Our principal sources of liquidity at December 31, 2002 were our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash of $1.2 million.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2002 we entered into a new credit agreement with a U.S. bank. This credit agreement includes a revolving credit facility of up to $7.0 million, which bears interest at the bank's prime rate plus 0.50% per year and is secured by a charge on all accounts receivable, inventory, chattel paper, equipment and fixtures and a negative pledge on general intangibles. As at December 31, 2002, we had issued standby letters of credit totaling $6.5 million under the facility, which were used to secure obligations under our facility with a Canadian bank.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2002 we amended our previous credit agreement with a Canadian based bank. Under the amended agreement, the facility is limited to the amount of outstanding letters of credit and is secured by either cash or back-to-back letters of credit. At December 31, 2002 $1.2 million of the outstanding letters of credit were secured by cash and the remaining $5.2 million were secured by back-to-back letters of credit from our U.S. credit facility. Subsequent to year end the cash security was replaced by back-to-back letters of credit drawn from our U.S. credit facility. As at December 31, 2002, we were in compliance with all covenants associated with the above facilities.






On October 23, 2002, we completed the acquisition of MarketFirst Software Inc. The purchase price consisted of 725,000 shares of Pivotal Corporation and cash of $0.3 million, which included acquisition-related expenditures of $0.2 million. We expect that any additional expenditures and obligations related to the MarketFirst acquisition will be minimal.

We expect to incur capital expenditures of approximately $1.5 million in the remainder of fiscal 2003, largely due leasehold fit-outs for our subleased space in our Vancouver head office facilities, as well as various upgrades to our computer systems infrastructure.

We believe that the total amount of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, along with the credit facilities, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and other purposes through at least the next eighteen months. Thereafter, depending on the development of our business, we may need to raise additional cash for working capital or other expenses. In the interim, however, we may encounter lower than anticipated revenues, high than anticipated expenses, or opportunities for acquisitions or other business initiatives that require significant cash commitments, or unanticipated problems or expenses that could result in a requirement for additional cash before that time. If we need to raise additional cash, financing may not be available to us on favorable terms, or at all.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are held with high-quality financial institutions and short-term investments are made in investment grade securities to mitigate exposure to credit risk. Our customer base is dispersed across many different geographic areas throughout North America, Europe and the Asia Pacific and consists of companies in a variety of industries. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and do not require collateral or other security to support credit sales. We provide an allowance for bad debts based on historical experience and specifically identified risks. If the creditworthiness of certain customers deteriorates, or their business fails, we may experience additional bad debt expenses. During the six month period ended December 31, 2002, we recorded an expense for provisions for doubtful debts and recoveries of previously written-off accounts receivable totaling $0.8 million.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“SFAS No. 146”). SFAS No. 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities. SFAS No. 146 also addresses recognition of certain costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease, costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees, and termination benefits provided to employees that are involuntarily terminated under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred-compensation contract. As SFAS No. 146 is effective only for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, we do not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on our Company’s financial statements.

In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.” SFAS 148 amends SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of that statement. The disclosure provisions of this statement are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2002 and will become effective for us commencing with the third quarter of pir 2003 fiscal year. We do not currently have plans to change to the fair value method of accounting for our stock-based compensation.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (“FIN 45”) FIN 45 requires a company, at the time it issues a guarantee, to recognize an initial liability for the fair value of obligations assumed under the guarantee and elaborates on existing disclosure requirements related to guarantees and warranties. The initial






recognition requirements of FIN 45 are effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and adoption of the discloser requirements are effective for us for the second quarter ending December 31, 2002. We do not expect the adoption of FIN 45 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

As part of our standard software license agreement, we normally provides our customers with a limited warranty concerning the operations of our software and an indemnification with respect to damages suffered by our customers as a result of any infringement by our software products of third intellectual property rights. The warranties generally expire after one year, and the indemnities continue indefinitely for all customers using the then current version of our software products. In our experience, the cost of these warranties and indemnifications have not been significant and therefore the recognition of a separate liability reserve has not been considered necessary.






PART I — ITEM 3

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to financial market risks, including fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates.

INTEREST RATE RISK

We invest our cash in a variety of short-term financial instruments, including government bonds, commercial paper and money market instruments. Our portfolio is diversified and consists primarily of investment grade securities to minimize credit risk. These investments are typically denominated in U.S. dollars. Cash balances in foreign currencies are operating balances and are only invested in demand or short-term deposits of the local operating bank.

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 because of 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, our future investment income may fall short of expectations because of changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities that have seen a decline in market value because of changes in interest rates.

Our investments are made in accordance with an investment policy approved by our board of directors. Under this policy, all short-term investments must be made in investment grade securities with original maturities of less than one year at the time of acquisition.

We do not attempt to reduce or eliminate our exposure to interest rate risk through the use of derivative financial instruments due to the short-term nature of the investments. Based on a sensitivity analysis performed on our balances as of December 31, 2002, the fair value of our short-term investment portfolio of $11.3 million would not be materially impacted by a shift in the yield curve of plus or minus 50, 100 or 150 basis points.

OTHER INVESTMENTS

Included in other assets is a $0.4 million investment in a private company. Our investment in a privately held company is carried at cost less writedowns related to other than temporary declines. This investment is inherently risky. The market for the company’s product or technologies that it has under development is in the early stages, and may never materialize. We could lose our entire investment in this company or may incur an impairment charge if we determine that the value of this asset has been impaired.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

We have operations in Canada and a number of other countries outside of the United States and therefore we are 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, our future results could be materially adversely affected by changes in these or other factors.

Our sales and corresponding receivables are substantially in U.S. dollars. Through our operations in Canada and outside North America, we incur the majority of our research and development, customer support costs and administrative expenses in Canadian and other local currencies. We are exposed, in the normal course of business, to foreign currency risks on these expenditures and on related foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. We have evaluated our exposure to these risks and have determined that our only significant operating exposure to foreign currencies exposure at this time is to the Canadian dollar through our operations in Canada. At this time, we do not believe our operating exposure to other individual currencies is material.

On occasion, we use forward contracts to minimize the risks associated with transactions originating in Canadian dollars. We have not designated these forward contracts to be hedging instruments. Therefore, all gains or losses resulting from the change in fair value of these contracts have been included in earnings in the current period.

If we were to designate these types of forward contracts or other derivatives as hedges in the future and such derivatives satisfy the criteria for hedging instruments, then depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivatives will be offset against the change in fair value of assets, liabilities, or firm commitments recognized in earnings (fair value hedges) or recognized in other comprehensive income until the related hedged






item is recognized in earnings (cash flow hedges). Any change in fair value related to the ineffective portion of a derivative will be recognized in earnings through periodic mark to market adjustments.

In addition to the use of foreign exchange forward contracts noted above, from time to time we may also purchase Canadian dollars in the open market and hold these funds in order to satisfy forecasted operating needs in Canadian dollars for the next operating period, which is generally limited to six months or less.

If our actual currency requirement in the period forecasted differs materially from the notional amount of our forward contracts and/or the amount of Canadian dollars purchased in the open market during a period of currency volatility or if we do not continue to manage our exposure to foreign currency through forward contracts or other means, we could experience unanticipated foreign currency gains or losses.

Our foreign currency risk management policy subjects us to risks relating to the creditworthiness of the commercial banks with which we enter into forward contracts. If one of these banks cannot honor its obligations, we may suffer a loss. We also invest in our international operations which will likely result in increased future operating expenses denominated in United Kingdom and Irish pounds, French francs, euros, German marks, Japanese yen, Australian dollars and New Zealand dollars. Our exposure to exchange fluctuations in foreign currencies is not material to date and accordingly, our current foreign currency risk management practices do not cover foreign exchange risks related to these other currencies. In the future, our exposure to foreign currency risks from these other foreign currencies may increase and if not managed appropriately, we could experience unanticipated foreign currency gains and losses.

The purpose of our foreign currency risk management policy is to reduce the effect of exchange rate fluctuation on our results of operations. Therefore, while our foreign currency risk management policy may reduce our exposure to losses resulting from unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates, it also reduces or eliminates our ability to profit from favorable changes in currency exchange rates.

At December 31, 2002, we had no outstanding currency forward exchange contracts, and had none outstanding during the quarter. For the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, the foreign exchange gain was $21,000 and $149,000.

PART I — ITEM 4

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)     Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of a date (the “Evaluation Date”) within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to the material information relating to us (or our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and Form 8-K reports.

(b)     Changes in internal controls.

There were no significant changes made in our internal controls or, to our knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
