AXENT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AXENT Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company" or "AXENT"). The Company develops, markets, licenses and supports enterprise-wide information security solutions for client/server computing environments and provides related services. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all the adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments that in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results for the three month and nine months ended September 30, 1996 may not necessarily be indicative of the results for the entire year. The December 31, 1995 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements as of the same date but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1995, which are included in Amendment No. 3 to the Company's registration statement on Form S-1 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 22, 1996. Short-Term Investments At September 30, 1996, short-term investments which mature within one year and consist primarily of certificates of deposit and government securities have been categorized as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value. Fair values for available-for-sale securities are based on quoted market prices. The estimated fair value of each investment approximates cost, and therefore there are no unrealized gains or losses as of September 30, 1996. Short-term investments as of September 30, 1996, consisted of the following: Certificates of deposit $ 1,505 Government securities 15,811 =========== $ 17,316 =========== Product Acquisition In August 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party to purchase a nonexclusive source code license for approximately $1,500,000. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company will pay the third party (i) an acquisition fee of $500,000, $300,000 due upon closing of the agreement and $200,000 due upon acceptance of the source code and (ii) a royalty up to $1,000,000 over a three year period based on the net revenues from the source code license. The Company is obligated to make a $400,000 non-refundable prepayment associated with the royalty upon acceptance of the source code. During the third quarter ended September 1996, the Company paid $300,000 in accordance with the agreement. Initial Public Offering In February 1996, the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission permitting the Company to sell 2,000,000 shares of its common stock to the public. The registration statement also permitted certain non-officer stockholders of the Company to sell up to 990,000 shares to the public, including up to 390,000 shares to cover over-allotments. The registration statement became effective on April 23, 1996. The initial public offering resulted in proceeds to the Company of approximately $25.13 million, net of approximately $3.46 million in underwriting fees and offering expenses. The Company received no proceeds from the sale of shares by selling stockholders in the initial public offering. Discontinued Operations In mid-1994 the Company made a strategic decision to focus its business on the information security market and to divest itself of products and services unrelated to such business. The following businesses have been divested by the Company: (i) the storage management products business, which was sold in 1994 for cash, notes and the assumption of certain liabilities, (ii) the OpenVMS utility software distribution business, which was conveyed to Raxco Software, Inc. ("Raxco") in a spin-off effective December 31, 1995 and (iii) the Helpdesk products business, which was sold in February 1996, for cash, a note, royalties and the assumption of certain liabilities. The results of operations for these divested businesses have been accounted for as discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting Principles Bulletin No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions" ("APB 30"). Prior to the divestment of those businesses, the Company utilized centralized systems for cash management, payroll, purchasing, distribution, employee benefit plans, insurance and administrative services. As a result, substantially all of the cash receipts of the Company and the discontinued operations were commingled. Similarly, operating expenses, capital expenditures and other cash outlays were centrally disbursed and charged directly or allocated to the discontinued operations. In the opinion of management, the Company's methods for allocating costs among the continued and discontinued operations are reasonable. However, the historical results are not necessarily indicative of the costs that would have been incurred by the Company had the divestments occurred prior to the beginning of those periods. In February 1996, the Company disposed of its Helpdesk operations for approximately $2.0 million, consisting of an initial cash payment of $150,000, a non-interest bearing note of $150,000, assumption of approximately $400,000 in obligations and liabilities, and the payment of a royalty up to a maximum of $1.3 million on future gross revenues from all Helpdesk product license and maintenance fees. The Company transferred to the buyer the Helpdesk products and the related fixed assets and customer base. The buyer assumed all of the Company's obligations related to the Helpdesk products including obligations related to sales, marketing, support and development employees, telephone support obligations for the existing customers and the facility lease obligations. The Company did not recognize a material gain associated with the transaction. In June 1996, the Company received $150,000 in full payment of the non-interest bearing note associated with the sale of the Helpdesk operations. Income Tax The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return in the U.S. with its U.S. subsidiaries. Deferred income taxes have been established by each entity based upon its temporary differences, the reversal of which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the related asset or liability is recovered or settled. The Company recorded a tax benefit on the loss from continuing operations which was substantially offset by a tax provision on the income from discontinued operations at December 31, 1995. The Company also recorded a valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset at December 31, 1995. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company recorded a tax provision on the income from continuing and discontinued operations. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, differs from the federal statutory tax rate due to the carryforward benefit of net operating losses and the change in the reserve for deferred tax assets. As of September 30, 1996, the Company has general business credits of $200,000 expiring between 1997 and 2006. The Company also has alternative minimum tax credits of approximately $200,000, which do not expire. Note Payable The Company acquired Datamedia Corporation in 1994 for $5.0 million in cash and notes. As of September 30, 1996, the remaining note payable to former Datamedia stockholders included accrued interest of $104,000 and is due December 9, 1996. Common Stock In February 1996, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation was amended and restated, which resulted in (among other things) an increase in the authorized capitalization of the Company from 10,000,000 shares of common stock to 50,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Stock Option Plan In January 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Stock Option Plan and the 1996 Directors' Stock Option Plan, providing for the issuance of up to 1,000,000 and 200,000 shares, respectively. Of the 1,000,000 shares provided in the 1996 Stock Option Plan, options covering an aggregate of 274,500 and 26,400 shares were issued in March 1996 and July 1996, respectively. In October 1996, the Company issued 160,600 shares in accordance with the 1996 Stock Option Plan. The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). SFAS 123 allows companies which grant stock options a choice to either continue the current accounting treatment under Accounting Principles Bulletin Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"), or adopt a new set of fair value accounting rules for recognizing compensation expense related to stock awards. Companies continuing under APB 25 must measure option values and disclose the pro forma effects that the new fair value accounting would have on earnings, if recorded. The Company has determined that it will continue the current accounting treatment under APB 25 and will provide pro forma disclosures as of December 31, 1996 for the effect the new fair value accounting rule would have on earnings, if adopted. Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements which involve risk and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in "Certain Factors Affecting Future Performance", below, and the "Risk Factors" set forth in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-01368). Three Months Ended September 30, 1995 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 Net Revenues The Company's net revenues from product licenses increased approximately 101%, or $1.57 million, from $1.55 million for the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $3.12 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996. For those periods in 1995 and 1996, net revenues from product licenses represented 56% and 63% of total net revenues, respectively. The increase in product license revenue is primarily attributable to the expansion of the Company's product offerings, with the introduction, general release and increased market acceptance of additional products comprising the OmniGuard(TM) family of software products throughout 1995, offset in part by a decrease in license revenues derived from the Company's other (primarily OpenVMS) computer security software products. OmniGuard/Intruder Alert(R), OmniGuard/Enterprise Access Control(R) for UNIX and OmniGuard/Enterprise Access Control(R) for PCs were released commercially during the second quarter of 1995. The Company's net revenues from maintenance and support services increased approximately 16%, or $130,000, from $827,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, to $957,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996. The increase in net revenues from maintenance and support services is attributable to a larger base of customers on maintenance agreements resulting from the increased licensing of the Company's OmniGuard products, offset in part by a decrease in maintenance revenues derived from the Company's other (primarily Open VMS) computer security software products. For those periods in 1995 and 1996, net revenues from maintenance and support services represented 30% and 19% of total net revenues, respectively. The Company's net revenues from consulting services increased approximately 111%, or $458,000, from $413,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, to $871,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996. The increase in consulting service revenues is attributable to an increase in the size and number of engagements associated with licensing of the Company's OmniGuard products. For those periods in 1995 and 1996, net revenues from consulting services represented 14% and 18% of total net revenues, respectively. The Company currently believes that period-to-period comparisons of net revenues from the licensing of different software products and the provision of related services are not necessarily meaningful as an indication of future performance. Revenues derived from North American and from international operations as a percent of total net revenues were 78% and 22%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 1996, as compared to 71% and 29%, respectively, for the same period of 1995. Cost of Net Revenues The Company's cost of net revenues includes cost of media, product packaging, documentation and other production costs, amortization of purchased software costs, product royalties, and direct and indirect costs of providing training, technical support and consulting services to the Company's customers. Cost of net revenues increased approximately 8%, or $35,000 from $421,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, to $456,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996. For those periods in 1995 and 1996, cost of net revenues represented 15% and 9% of net revenues, respectively. The increase in cost of net revenues is directly related to the increased number of consulting services engagements and an increase in staff of the Company's customer support and services operations necessary to support a larger customer base and the additional products offered by the Company. The increase in the cost of net revenues is offset in part by the following: 1) an increase in production efficiency due to the consolidation of worldwide production in 1996; 2) a change in product media to CD-ROM resulting in a decrease in production and shipping expenses; and 3) an increase in the average size of the transactions recorded in the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the same three month period of 1995. Cost of net revenues as a percentage of net revenues may fluctuate from period to period due to a change in product mix, a change in the number or size of transactions recorded in a quarter or an increase or decrease in licenses of royalty bearing products. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including commissions, salaries, benefits and bonuses, travel, telephone, costs of advertising, public relations seminars and trade shows. Sales and marketing expenses increased 7%, or $200,000, from $2.69 million for the three months ended September 30, 1995, to $2.89 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996. For those periods in 1995 and 1996, sales and marketing expenses represented 96% and 58% of total net revenues, respectively. The increase in dollar amount was due primarily to additional investments in the Company's US and UK operations, increased commissions associated with the additional revenues and increased investment in indirect distribution, offset in part by the closing of the Company's German and Swiss direct offices during the fourth quarter of 1995. The decrease in sales and marketing expense as a percent of total net revenues is attributable to the increase in total net revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 1996. Research and Development Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, benefits and bonuses, travel and other personnel-related expenses of the employees engaged in ongoing research and development projects and third party development contracts. Costs related to research and development of products generally are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses increased 31%, or $299,000, from $951,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, to $1.25 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996. For those periods in 1995 and 1996, research and development expenses represented 34% and 25% of total net revenues, respectively. The increase in dollar amount resulted primarily from the addition of internal and third-party contract developers needed to develop, maintain and enhance the OmniGuard family of software products, including the Company's OmniGuard/Enterprise Resource Manger(TM) product currently under development. The decrease in research and development expenses as a percentage of total net revenues was due primarily to the increase in total net revenues. The Company currently anticipates that research and development expenses may increase in absolute dollars as the Company continues to commit substantial resources to research and development in future periods. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, benefits and bonuses and related costs for management, finance and accounting, legal and other professional services. General and administrative expenses increased 10%, or $54,000 from $566,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, to $620,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996. For those periods in 1995 and 1996 general and administrative expenses represented 20% and 13% of total net revenues, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total net revenues was due primarily to the increase in total net revenues. In 1996, certain general and administrative expenses are offset in part by the Administrative Services Agreement between the Company and Raxco. That agreement provides for Raxco to pay the Company on an annual basis, the greater of $750,000 or the actual cost of providing certain operational and system support services including bookkeeping, personnel processing, administrative support, facilities management and product packaging and mailing. For the three month period ended September 30, 1996, the Company received $188,000 from Raxco under the Administrative Services Agreement. Royalty Income For the three months ended September 30, 1996, the Company recorded royalty income of $794,000 pursuant to the Exclusive Distributor License Agreement with Raxco. That agreement provides for payment by Raxco to the Company of the greater of (i) a 30% royalty on license and services fees related to the OpenVMS utility software products owned by the Company and marketed exclusively by Raxco or (ii) $2.0 million for 1996, $1.5 million for 1997 and $1.0 million for 1998, and a 30% royalty thereafter for two additional years. During the three months ended September 30, 1996, Raxco reported to the Company gross revenues of approximately $2.70 million, which included approximately $2.65 million of revenues from licensing of the Company's OpenVMS utility products. As of September 30, 1996, Raxco has fully paid the royalty income due to the Company. Raxco reported to the Company a net loss of $140,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 1996. Interest Income (Expense) Interest income increased 1,097%, or $373,000, from an expense of $34,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, to income of $339,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996. The increase is primarily attributable to interest on the proceeds from the Company's initial public offering, as well as a decrease in the amortization of discount on the note payable. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). SFAS 109 requires the Company to record an asset with respect to the expected future temporary differences. The Company's history of net operating losses makes the realization of its net operating loss carryforwards uncertain. Accordingly, the Company has placed a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amount of and benefit from net operating losses that can be carried forward may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances. The Company recorded a tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 1995 related to a loss from continuing operations. The Company recorded a provision for the three months ended September 30, 1996 related to its income from continuing operations. The effective rate for the three months ended September 30, 1996 differs from the federal statutory rate due to the carryforward benefit of net operating losses and the change in the reserve for deferred tax assets. Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations As a result of the above, the Company recorded income from continuing operations of $500,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996, an increase of $1.54 million from the loss of $1.04 million for the three months ended September 30, 1995. Income from Discontinued Operations Income from discontinued operations consists of the net results of operations from the divested businesses of the Company, which for financial statement purposes have been accounted for in accordance with APB 30 and classified as discontinued operations. The Company's income from discontinued operations decreased 56% , or $749,000, from $1.34 million for the three months ended September 30, 1995, to $591,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996. For those periods in 1995 and 1996, income from discontinued operations represented 48% and 12% of total net revenues, respectively. The Company anticipates a continued decline in income from discontinued operations over the next several quarters. Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995, Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 Net Revenues The Company's net revenues from product licenses increased approximately 68%, or $3.94 million, from $5.79 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1995, to $9.73 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. For those periods in 1995 and 1996, net revenues from product licenses represented 64% and 68% of total net revenues, respectively. The increase in product license revenue is primarily attributable to the expansion of the Company's product offerings, with the introduction, general release and increased market acceptance of additional products comprising the OmniGuard family of software products throughout 1995, offset in part by a decrease in license revenues derived from the Company's other (primarily OpenVMS) computer security software products. OmniGuard/Intruder Alert and OmniGuard/Enterprise Access Control for both UNIX and PCs were released commercially during the second quarter of 1995. The Company's net revenues from maintenance and support services increased approximately 7%, or $180,000, from $2.49 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, to $2.67 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase in net revenues from maintenance and support services is attributable to a larger base of customers on maintenance agreements resulting from the increased licensing of the Company's OmniGuard products, offset in part by a decrease in maintenance revenues derived from the Company's other (primarily OpenVMS) computer security software products. For those periods in 1995 and 1996, net revenues from maintenance fees and other services represented 28% and 19% of total net revenues, respectively. The decrease of net revenues from maintenance and support services as a percentage of total net revenues is attributable to the increase in total revenues, particularly net revenues from product licenses. The Company's net revenues from consulting services increased approximately 158%, or $1.20 million, from $759,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $1.96 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase in consulting services revenues is attributable to an increase in the size and number of engagements associated with licensing of the Company's OmniGuard products. For those periods in 1995 and 1996, net revenues from consulting services represented 8% and 13% of total net revenues, respectively. The Company currently believes that period-to-period comparisons of net revenues from the licensing of different software products and the provision of related services are not necessarily meaningful as an indication of future performance. Revenues derived from North American and from international operations as a percent of total net revenues were 74% and 26%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to 77% and 23%, respectively, for the same period of 1995. Cost of Net Revenues The Company's cost of net revenues includes cost of media, product packaging, documentation and other production costs, amortization of purchased software costs, product royalties, and direct and indirect costs of providing training, technical support and consulting services to the Company's customers. Cost of net revenues increased approximately 2%, or $20,000 from $1.30 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, to $1.32 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. For those periods in 1995 and 1996, cost of net revenues represented 14% and 9% of net revenues, respectively. The increase in cost of net revenues is directly related to the increased number of consulting services engagements and an increase in staff of the Company's customer support and services operations necessary to support a larger customer base and the additional products offered by the Company. The increase in the cost of net revenues is offset in part by the following: 1) an increase in production efficiency due to the consolidation of worldwide production in 1996; 2) a change in product media to CD-ROM resulting in a decrease in production and shipping expenses; and 3) an increase in the average size of the transactions recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the same nine month period of 1995. Cost of net revenues as a percentage of net revenues may fluctuate from period to period due to a change in product mix, a change in the number or size of transactions recorded year over year or an increase or decrease in licenses of royalty bearing products. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including commissions, salaries, benefits and bonuses, travel, telephone, costs of advertising, public relations seminars and trade shows. Sales and marketing expenses increased 2%, or $180,000, from $8.49 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $8.67 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase in dollar amount was due primarily to additional investment in the Company's US and UK operations, increased commissions associated with the additional revenues and increased investment in indirect distribution, offset in part by the closing of the Company's German and Swiss direct offices during the fourth quarter of 1995. For those periods in 1995 and 1996, sales and marketing expenses represented 94% and 60% of total net revenues, respectively. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses as a percent of total net revenue is attributable to the increase in total net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Research and Development Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, benefits and bonuses, travel and other personnel-related expenses of the employees engaged in ongoing research and development projects and third party development contracts. Costs related to research and development of products generally are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses increased 20%, or $580,000, from $2.93 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $3.51 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. For those periods in 1995 and 1996, research and development expenses represented 32% and 24% of total net revenues, respectively. The increase in dollar amount resulted primarily from the addition of internal and third-party contract developers needed to develop, maintain and enhance the OmniGuard family of software products including the Company's Enterprise Resource Manager product currently under development. The decrease in research and development expenses as a percentage of total net revenues was due primarily to the increase in total net revenues. The Company currently anticipates that research and development expenses may increase in absolute dollars as the Company continues to commit substantial resources to research and development in future periods. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, benefits and bonuses and related costs for management, finance and accounting, legal and other professional services. General and administrative expenses increased 5%, or $90,000 from $1.68 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $1.77 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. For those periods in 1995 and 1996, general and administrative expenses represented 19% and 12% of total net revenues, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total net revenues was due primarily to the increase in total net revenues. In 1996, certain general and administrative expenses are offset in part by the Administrative Services Agreement between the Company and Raxco. That agreement provides for Raxco to pay the Company on an annual basis, the greater of $750,000 or the actual cost of providing certain operational and system support services including bookkeeping, personnel processing, administrative support, facilities management and product packaging and mailing. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company received $562,500 from Raxco under the Administrative Services Agreement. Royalty Income For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company recorded royalty income of $2.40 million pursuant to the Exclusive Distributor License Agreement with Raxco. The Agreement provides for payment by Raxco to the Company the greater of (i) a 30% royalty on license and services fees related to the OpenVMS utility software products owned by the Company and marketed exclusively by Raxco or (ii) $2.0 million for 1996, $1.5 million for 1997 and $1.0 million for 1998, and a 30% royalty thereafter for two additional years. During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, Raxco reported to the Company, gross revenues of approximately $8.70 million, which included approximately $8.00 million of revenues from licensing of the Company's OpenVMS utility products. As of September 30, 1996, Raxco has fully paid the royalty income due to the Company. Raxco reported to the Company, a net loss of $735,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Interest Income (Expense) Interest income increased 749%, or $771,000, from an expense of $103,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, to income of $668,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase is primarily attributable to interest on the proceeds from the Company's initial public offering, as well as a decrease in the amortization of discount on the note payable. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS 109 which requires the Company to record an asset with respect to the expected future temporary differences. The Company's history of net operating losses makes the realization of its net operating loss carryforwards uncertain. Accordingly, the Company has placed a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amount of and benefit from net operating losses that can be carried forward may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances. The Company recorded a tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 related to a loss from continuing operations. The Company recorded a provision for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 related to the income from continuing operations. The effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 differs from the federal statutory rate due to the carryforward benefit of net operating losses and the change in the reserve for deferred tax assets. Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations As a result of the above, the Company recorded income from continuing operations of $1.73 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, an increase of $4.77 million, from the loss of $3.04 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. Income from Discontinued Operations Income from discontinued operations consists of the net results of operations from the divested businesses of the Company, which for financial statement purposes have been accounted for in accordance with APB 30 and classified as discontinued operations. The Company's income from discontinued operations decreased 46% , or $1.83 million, from $3.97 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $2.14 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. For those periods in 1995 and 1996 income from discontinued operations represented 44% and 15% of total net revenues, respectively. The Company anticipates a continued decline in income from discontinued operations over the next several quarters. Financial Condition- Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's overall cash and cash equivalents were $15.66 million at September 30, 1996, an increase of approximately $9.58 million from $6.08 million at the beginning of the year. During the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Company financed its operations primarily through cash flows generated from discontinued operations and available working capital. The Company's continuing operating activities used cash of $6.65 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and provided $799,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 resulting from increased licensing of the Company's OmniGuard products in the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Total cash provided by operating activities of the Company's discontinued operations was $6.98 million and $750,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The Company made capital expenditures of approximately $767,000 and $733,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. These purchases have generally consisted of computer workstations, networking equipment, office furniture and equipment. The Company had no firm commitments for capital expenditures as of September 30, 1996. During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company's cash position was also affected by the following: 1) the Company received proceeds from its initial public offering of approximately $25.13 million, net of approximately $3.46 million in underwriting fees and offering expenses; 2) the Company invested approximately $17.32 million in certificates of deposit and government securities; 3) the Company received $300,000 as a result of the disposal of the Helpdesk products in February 1996; 4) the Company paid $100,000 to former Datamedia stockholders as part of the December 1994 Datamedia acquisition; and 5) the Company received $748,000 as payment on the note receivable related to the sale of the Company's storage management products in 1994. The Company had a revolving credit facility commitment with a bank for up to $2.50 million which expired in May 1996. The were no amounts outstanding under this revolving credit facility commitment at the time of expiration. As of September 30, 1996, Raxco fully paid all amounts due to the Company under the Exclusive Distributor License Agreement, the Administrative Services Agreement and the Line of Credit Loan Agreement. The Company believes that the net proceeds from the initial public offering, cash generated from operations, cash generated under the Administrative Services Agreement and the Exclusive Distributor License Agreement with Raxco, together with existing sources of liquidity, will be sufficient to meet its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements both for the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future. Certain Factors Affecting Future Performance Although the Company has experienced significant growth in revenues from the OmniGuard family of software products, the Company does not believe prior growth rates are indicative of future operating results. In addition, the Company expects increased competition and intends to invest significantly in its product development. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Company will remain profitable on a quarterly or annual basis. Due to the Company's limited operating history with respect to the OmniGuard family of software products, predictions as to future operating results are difficult. Future operating results may fluctuate due to factors such as: demand for the Company's products; the size and timing of customer orders; the introduction of new products and product enhancements by the Company or its competitors; the budgeting cycle of customers; changes in the proportion of revenues attributable to license fees and consulting services; changes in the level of operating expenses; and competitive conditions in the industry. The market for the Company's software products is highly competitive, and the Company expects that it will face increasing price pressures from its current competitors and new market entrants. Any material reduction in the price of the Company's software products would negatively affect gross margins and could materially adversely affect the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Licensing of the Company's security products generally involves significant testing by and education of prospective customers as well as a commitment of resources by both parties. For these and other reasons, the sales cycle associated with the licensing of the Company's security products is typically long and subject to a number of significant risks over which the Company has little or no control and, as a result, the Company may expend significant resources pursuing potential license opportunities that will not be consummated. The Company anticipates that international sales will continue to represent a significant percentage of revenue in the foreseeable future. International sales are subject to a number of risks, including unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs and other trade barriers, political and economic instability in foreign markets, difficulty in the staffing, management and integration of foreign operations, longer payment cycles, greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection, currency fluctuations and potentially adverse tax consequences. The uncertainty of the monetary exchange values has caused, and may in the future, contribute to fluctuations in the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Although the Company's results of operations have not been materially adversely affected to date as a result of currency fluctuations, the long-term impact of currency fluctuations, including any possible effect on the business outlook in other countries, cannot be predicted. The foregoing Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements which involve risk and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed above and in the "Risk Factors" set forth in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No.333-01368).

Except as restricted, limited or prohibited by the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted by law to be taken at any meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a written consent, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present or represented by proxy and voted.

(a) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful. (b) The Corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) by reason of the fact that such person is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful. Section 2. Indemnification in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation. (a) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director of officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Corporation. No such indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper. (b) The Corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation. No such indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper. Section 3. Authorization of Indemnification. Any indemnification under this Article VII shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because such person or persons have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections Section 1 and Section 2 hereof. Such determination shall be made (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders. Section 4. Advancement of Expenses. The Corporation may advance expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon the receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director of officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to indemnification. The Corporation may advance expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an employee or agent in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. ARTICLE VIII AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS AND INTERESTED DIRECTORS Section 1. Affiliated Transactions. No contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between the Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers are directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction or solely because his or their votes are counted for such purpose, if: (a) The material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the Board of Directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; or (b) The material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or (c) The contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof, or the stockholders. Section 2. Determining Quorum. Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction.

Such signatures and seal may be facsimile. A certificate may be manually signed by a transfer agent or registrar other than the Corporation or its employee but may be a facsimile. In case any officer who has signed, or whose facsimile signature was placed on, a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer before such certificate is issued, it may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer at the date of its issue. (b) All stock certificates representing shares of capital stock which are subject to restrictions on transfer or to other restrictions may have imprinted thereon such notation to such effect as may be determined by the Board of Directors. Section 2. Registration of Transfer. Upon surrender to the Corporation or any transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation or its transfer agent to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, to cancel the old certificate and to record the transaction upon its books. Section 3. Registered Stockholders (a) Except as otherwise provided by law, the Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person who is registered on its books as the owner of shares of its capital stock to receive dividends or other distributions, to vote as such owner, and to hold liable for calls and assessments any person who is registered on its books as the owner of shares of its capital stock. The Corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or legal claim to or interest in such shares on the part of any other person. (b) If a stockholder desires that notices and/or dividends shall be sent to a name or address other than the name or address appearing on the stock ledger maintained by the Corporation (or by the transfer agent or registrar, if any), such stockholder shall have the duty to notify the Corporation (or the transfer agent or registrar, if any) in writing, of such desire. Such written notice shall specify the alternate name or address to be used. Section 4. Record Date. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders of record who are entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, or to make a determination of the stockholders of record for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors may, in advance, fix a date as the record date for any such determination. Such date shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting, nor more than 60 days prior to the date of any other action. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting taken pursuant to Section 8 of Article II; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. Section 5. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate to be issued in place of any certificate theretofore issued by the Corporation which is claimed to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the Corporation a bond in such sum, or other security in such form, as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate claimed to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

The Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may fix a sum which may be set aside or reserved over and above the paid-in capital of the Corporation for working capital or as a reserve for any proper purpose, and may, from time to time, increase, diminish or vary such fund or funds.
