5 The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 6 ALLAIRE CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Allaire Corporation and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Allaire Corporation and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the "Company" or "Allaire." Certain 1999 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 method of presentation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all financial information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods reported and of the financial condition of the Company as of the date of the interim balance sheet. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed on September 29, 1999, (Registration No. 333-86563). Net Income (Loss) Per Share Net income (loss) per share is computed under SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, excluding shares of common stock subject to repurchase. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, including potential common shares from conversion of stock options and warrants. Pro forma basic and diluted net income (loss) per share have been calculated assuming the conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock into common stock, as if the shares had converted immediately upon their issuance. Options to purchase 641,540 and 216,519 shares for the second quarter and first six months of 2000 were outstanding but were not included in the computations of diluted EPS because the price of the options was greater than the average market price of the common stock for the period reported. 2. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The components of comprehensive income are as follows (in thousands):

3. ACQUISITION In March 2000, Allaire acquired Open Sesame from Bowne Internet Solutions for a total purchase price of $5.1 million. Open Sesame is profiling and personalization technology that delivers personalized customer interaction capabilities. Allaire accounted for this acquisition as a purchase. The excess of the purchase price over identified tangible and intangible assets was considered goodwill. Goodwill and other intangibles are amortized over four years. Pro forma financial statements have not been disclosed due to immateriality. 6 7 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the factors set forth below in "Certain Factors that may Affect Future Results," that may cause the actual results, performance and achievements of Allaire to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. ColdFusion is a U.S. registered trademark, and Allaire, Allaire Spectra, HomeSite and JRun are trademarks of Allaire Corporation. All other company names, brand names and product names are the property of their respective holder(s). OVERVIEW Allaire develops, markets and supports Web application servers, packaged applications and visual tools that enable the development and deployment of sophisticated e-business Web sites and applications. Allaire derives a majority of its revenue from its four primary products, Allaire Spectra, ColdFusion, JRun and HomeSite. Allaire's revenue is derived principally from license fees for software products and, to a lesser extent, fees for a range of services complementing these products, primarily training, consulting and technical support. Software license fees include sales of licenses for the then-current version of Allaire's products, product upgrades and subscriptions. Subscriptions entitle the customer to all new releases for a specific product during the subscription period, generally 12 to 24 months. Revenue from sales of licenses to use Allaire's software products and product upgrades is recognized upon delivery to customers, provided no significant post-delivery obligations or uncertainties remain and collection of the related receivable is probable. Revenue under arrangements where multiple products or services are sold together under one contract is allocated to each element based on their relative fair values, with these fair values being determined using the price charged when that element is sold separately. For agreements with specified upgrade rights, the revenue related to such upgrade rights is deferred until such time as the specified upgrade is delivered. Allaire provides most of its distributors with rights of return. An allowance for estimated future returns is recorded at the time revenue is recognized based on Allaire's historical experience. Revenue from subscription sales is recognized ratably over the term of the subscription period. Services revenue is recognized as services are rendered or ratably over the term of the service agreement. Allaire generates its software license revenue through direct sales of licenses to end users and through its indirect distribution channel. Direct revenue is generated by Allaire's direct sales force and via its Web site. The indirect distribution channel includes distributors, direct and original equipment manufacturer resellers, system integrators and Allaire Alliance members. Revenue generated by the indirect distribution channel accounted for 62% and 49% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999, respectively. Revenue generated by the indirect distribution channel accounted for 62% and 49% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999, respectively. Allaire anticipates that revenue derived from the indirect distribution channel will continue to represent a significant percentage of total revenue. Allaire primarily derives its international revenue through its indirect distribution channel. International revenue outside of North America accounted for 19% and 11% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999, respectively, and 19% and 13% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999, respectively. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS REVENUE Total revenue increased 155% from $13.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $33.3 million for three months ended June 30, 2000. Total revenue increased 175% from $21.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $59.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. 7 8 Software License Fees. Revenue from software license fees increased 163% from $10.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $28.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Revenue from software license fees increased 187% from $17.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $50.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of licenses sold to use the Company's Allaire Spectra, ColdFusion and JRun products. Allaire's first shipment of Allaire Spectra occurred in the fourth quarter of 1999. Increases in product prices associated with the release of new versions of Allaire's products in March 2000 also contributed to the growth in revenue. Services. Revenue from services increased 115% from $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Revenue from services increased 125% from $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to growth in training revenue resulting from an increase in Allaire's installed customer base. COST OF REVENUE Cost of Software License Fees. Cost of software license fees includes costs of product media duplication, manuals, packaging materials, licensed technology and fees paid to third party vendors and agents for order fulfillment. Cost of software license fees increased 100% from $647,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Cost of software license fees increased 128% from $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The increase in absolute dollars was due to higher unit sales volume. The improvement in software license fees gross margins from 94% for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to 95% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 94% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to 95% for the six months ended June 30, 2000, was primarily attributable to economies of scale achieved with higher sales volume in 2000. Cost of Services. Cost of services consists primarily of personnel costs. Cost of services increased 223% from $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. The increase in absolute dollars resulted primarily from the hiring of additional employees and the use of contract trainers to support increased customer demand for training classes, consulting and technical support. The decline in services gross margins from 22% for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to (17)% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and from 18% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to (3)% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was primarily attributable to the investment in additional consulting and technical support resources to support Allaire Spectra, the Company's newly released packaged e-business application product. Overall gross margins are primarily affected by the mix of products licensed, sales through direct versus indirect distribution channels, software license fees revenue versus services revenue, and international revenue versus domestic revenue. Allaire typically realizes higher gross margins on direct sales relative to indirect distribution channel sales and higher gross margins on software license fees relative to services revenue. As services revenue or revenue derived through indirect distribution channels increase as a percentage of total revenue, Allaire's gross margins may be adversely affected. OPERATING EXPENSES Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of employee salaries, fees for outside consultants and related costs associated with the development of new products, the enhancement and localization of existing products, quality assurance and testing. Research and development expenses increased 85% from $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Research and development expenses increased 84% from $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $9.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The increase primarily resulted from salaries associated with newly hired development personnel and costs related to the localization of Allaire's products. Allaire anticipates that research and development expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollars. Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee salaries, commissions, and costs associated with marketing programs such as advertising, seminars, trade shows and new product launch activities. Sales and marketing expenses increased 135% from $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $15.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Sales and marketing expenses increased 141% from $12.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $30.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to costs associated with additional direct sales, pre-sales support and marketing personnel, and an increase in marketing programs, including advertising, and seminars. Allaire anticipates that 8 9 sales and marketing expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollars as it continues to expand its marketing programs and sales force to support its brand awareness, product launches, international expansion and increased focus on major account sales. General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee salaries and other personnel related costs for executive and financial personnel, as well as legal, accounting, recruiting and insurance costs. General and administrative expenses increased 140% from $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. General and administrative expenses increased 139% from $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to salaries associated with newly hired personnel and related costs required to manage Allaire's growth and facilities expansion. Allaire expects that its general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars as it continues to expand its staffing to support expanding facilities and operations. Stock-based Compensation. The amount that the estimated fair market value of Allaire's common stock exceeds the exercise price of stock options on the date of grant is recorded as deferred compensation and amortized to stock-based compensation expense as the options vest. Allaire recognized $66,000 of stock-based compensation for the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $61,000 of stock based compensation for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Allaire recognized $133,000 of stock-based compensation for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $123,000 of stock based compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Amortization of Goodwill and Other Intangibles. The amortization of goodwill and other intangibles of $319,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and $425,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 related to the amortization of costs associated with the purchase of the Open Sesame technology from Bowne Internet Solutions in March 2000. Merger Costs. The merger costs of $2.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999 relate to the mergers with Bright Tiger and Live Software. The costs include professional fees, facility closings, severance packages and related costs associated with these acquisitions. INTEREST INCOME, NET Interest income, net of interest expense, increased 233% from $517,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Interest income, net of interest expense, increased 315% from $803,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000.The increase was due to interest income earned from the investment of the net cash proceeds from Allaire's initial public offering in January 1999 and follow-on public offering in September 1999. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES Allaire's effective tax rate for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000 was 25% compared to a zero rate for the same periods in 1999. For the second quarter of 1999, Allaire incurred a net operating loss for which no tax benefit was recognized as a full valuation allowance was recorded for the related deferred tax asset since realization of the tax benefit was not sufficiently assured. The effective tax rate of 25% for 2000 is different from the Federal statutory rate of 35% due to the realization of the benefit of operating loss carryforwards from prior years that were not recognized as a deferred tax asset. Due to Allaire's continuing trend in positive earnings, Allaire reversed a portion of its valuation allowance related to the previously established deferred tax asset for which realization is considered more likely than not. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At June 30, 2000, Allaire had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $127.8 million, up from $119.0 million at December 31, 1999. Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $19.7 million, primarily related to increases in accrued expenses and deferred revenue and net income of $2.8 million, offset by an increase in accounts receivable. Cash used for 9 10 operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $228,000 primarily related to a net loss of $5.5 million, partially offset by increases in deferred revenue and accrued expenses. Cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $83.8 million, primarily related to net purchases of short-term investments. Cash used by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $34.9 million primarily related to the purchase of short term investments. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $2.2 million, primarily due to common stock issuances. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $51.4 million, primarily related to net proceeds from Allaire's initial public offering. As of June 30, 2000, Allaire's primary commitments consisted of obligations related to operating leases, $799,000 of notes payable under equipment lines and $21,000 of capital lease obligations. In March 2000, Allaire acquired Open Sesame from Bowne Internet Solutions for a total purchase price of $5.1 million. Allaire expects to experience significant growth in its operating expenses for the foreseeable future in order to execute its business plan, particularly research and development and sales and marketing expenses. As a result, Allaire anticipates that such operating expenses, as well as planned capital expenditures, will constitute a material use of its cash resources. In addition, Allaire may utilize cash resources to fund acquisitions or investments in complementary businesses, technologies or product lines. Allaire believes that its current cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash requirements for working capital and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The new standard establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Allaire does not expect SFAS No. 133 to have a material affect on its financial position or results of operations. In March 2000, the Financial Accounting-Standard Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation -- an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25" ("FIN 44"). FIN 44 clarifies the application of APB Opinion No. 25 to certain issues including: the definition of an employee for purposes of applying APB Opinion No. 25; the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan; the accounting consequence of various modifications to the terms of previously fixed stock options or awards; and the accounting for the exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination. FIN 44 is effective July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions in FIN 44 are applicable retroactively to specific events occurring after either December 15, 1998 or January 12, 2000. The Company does not expect the application of FIN 44 to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS Allaire has substantial net losses and may not be profitable in the future. Allaire's limited operating history and the undeveloped nature of the market for Web development products make predicting future revenue and operating results difficult. Allaire has experienced substantial net losses in each fiscal year since its inception and, as of June 30, 2000, had an accumulated deficit of $34 million. These net losses and accumulated deficit resulted primarily from the significant costs incurred in the development of Allaire's products and in the preliminary establishment of its infrastructure. Although Allaire recorded a small profit for the quarters ended December 31, 1999, March 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000, it cannot be certain that Allaire will continue to be profitable. Disappointing quarterly revenue and operating results could cause the price of Allaire's common stock to fall. Allaire's quarterly revenue may fluctuate for several reasons, including: 10 11 - The market for web application server and packaged e-business applications is in an early stage of development and it is therefore difficult to accurately predict customer demand; and - The sales cycle for Allaire's products and services varies substantially from customer to customer and, if Allaire's average sales price continues to increase as expected, it expects the sales cycle to lengthen. As a result, Allaire may have difficulty determining whether and when it will receive license revenue from a particular customer. In addition, most of Allaire's expenses, such as employee compensation and rent, are relatively fixed. Allaire's expense levels are based, in part, on its expectations regarding future revenue increases. As a result, any shortfall in revenue in relation to Allaire's expectations could cause significant changes in its operating results from quarter to quarter and could result in quarterly losses. If Allaire's quarterly operating results fall below the expectations of investors or public market analysts, the price of Allaire's common stock could fall substantially. Allaire operates in highly competitive markets and may not be able to compete effectively. The web application server and packaged e-business applications market is intensely competitive and rapidly changing. Many of Allaire's current and potential competitors have longer operating histories and substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution and other resources than Allaire does and therefore may be able to respond more quickly than Allaire can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or customer requirements. In the portion of the market with the highest product prices, Allaire competes with large web and database platform companies that offer a variety of software products. Allaire also competes with a number of medium-sized and start-up companies that have introduced or that are developing web application servers and packaged e-business applications. In the middle range of the market where product prices are significantly lower, Allaire competes primarily against Microsoft. Allaire expects that additional competitors will enter the market with competing products as the size and visibility of the market opportunity increases. Increased competition could result in pricing pressures, reduced margins or the failure of Allaire's products to achieve or maintain market acceptance. If, in the future, a competitor chooses to bundle a competing web application server or packaged e-business application with other products, the demand for Allaire's products might be substantially reduced. In addition, new technologies will likely increase the competitive pressures that Allaire faces. The development of competing technologies by market participants or the emergence of new industry standards may adversely affect Allaire's competitive position. As a result of these and other factors, Allaire may not be able to compete effectively with current or future competitors, which would have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results and financial condition. Future success will depend on Allaire's ability to market and sell Allaire Spectra successfully. Allaire expects that its future financial performance will depend in part on sales of Allaire Spectra. Allaire began commercial shipments of Allaire Spectra in December 1999. Market acceptance of Allaire Spectra will depend on the market for packaged e-business applications and customer demand for the specific functionality of Allaire Spectra. If Allaire Spectra does not meet customer needs or expectations, for whatever reason, Allaire's reputation could be damaged, or it could be required to upgrade or enhance the product, which could be costly and time consuming. Allaire's failure to expand its sales force and distribution channels would adversely affect its revenue growth and financial condition. To increase its revenue, Allaire must increase the size of its sales force and the number of its indirect channel partners, including original equipment manufacturers, value-added resellers and systems integrators. A failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on Allaire's business, operating results and financial condition. There is intense competition for sales personnel in Allaire's business, and there can be no assurance that Allaire will be successful in attracting, integrating, motivating and retaining new sales personnel. Allaire's existing or future channel partners may choose to devote greater resources to marketing and supporting the products of other companies. In addition, Allaire will need to resolve potential conflicts among its sales force and channel partners. Allaire depends on a small number of distributors for a significant portion of its revenue. Allaire derives a substantial portion of its revenue from a small number of distributors. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, revenue from Allaire's indirect distribution channel accounted for 62% of total revenue and one distributor, Ingram Micro, accounted for 33% of total revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, revenue from the indirect distribution channel accounted for 49% of Allaire's total revenue, and Ingram Micro accounted for 37% of total revenue. The loss of, or a reduction in orders from, Ingram Micro or any other significant distributor could have a material adverse effect on Allaire's business, operating results and financial condition. 11 12 Allaire may experience lost or delayed sales as its sales cycle lengthens. A longer sales cycle reduces Allaire's ability to forecast revenue levels and may result in lost sales. Any delay or loss in sales of Allaire's products could have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results and financial condition, and could cause operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter. As Allaire increases its sales and marketing focus on larger sales to businesses and other large organizations, it expects that increased executive-level involvement of information technology officers and other senior managers of its customers will be required. Potential large sales may be delayed, or lost altogether, because Allaire will have to provide a more comprehensive education to prospective customers regarding the use and benefits of its products. Allaire's customers' purchase decisions may be subject to delays over which Allaire may have little or no control. If Allaire is unable to continue licensing technology for its products from third parties, its product development efforts could be delayed. Allaire licenses technology that is incorporated into its products from third parties. The loss of access to this technology could result in delays in Allaire's development and introduction of new products or enhancements until equivalent or replacement technology could be accessed, if available, or developed internally, if feasible. These delays could have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results and financial condition. In light of the rapidly evolving nature of web technology and Allaire's strategy to pursue industry partnerships, Allaire believes that it will increasingly need to rely on technology from third party vendors, such as Microsoft, which may also be competitors. There can be no assurance that technology from others will continue to be available to Allaire on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Allaire's failure to properly manage its growth could strain its resources and adversely affect its business. Allaire's failure to manage its rapid growth could have a material adverse effect on the quality of its products, its ability to retain key personnel and its business, operating results and financial condition. Allaire's revenue increased 175% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from the same period in 1999. The number of Allaire's employees increased from 93 at January 1, 1998 to 509 at June 30, 2000. To manage future growth effectively Allaire must maintain and enhance its financial and accounting systems and controls, integrate new personnel and manage expanded operations. Allaire's business could be adversely affected if its products fail to perform properly. Software products as complex as Allaire's may contain undetected errors or "bugs," which result in product failures or security breaches or otherwise fail to perform in accordance with customer expectations. Errors in certain Allaire products have been detected after the release of the product. The occurrence of errors could result in loss of or delay in revenue, loss of market share, failure to achieve market acceptance, diversion of development resources, injury to Allaire's reputation, or damage to its efforts to build brand awareness, any of which could have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, any failure in a customer's web application developed and deployed with Allaire's products could result in a claim for substantial damages against Allaire, regardless of Allaire's responsibility for the failure. Although Allaire maintains general liability insurance, including coverage for errors and omissions, there can be no assurance that its existing coverage will continue to be available on reasonable terms or will be available in amounts sufficient to cover one or more large claims, or that the insurer will not disclaim coverage as to any future claim. Claims by Other Companies That Allaire Infringes Their Copyrights or Patents Could Adversely Affect Allaire's Financial Condition. If any of Allaire's products violate third party proprietary rights, Allaire may be required to reengineer these products or seek to obtain licenses from third parties to continue to offer them. Any efforts to reengineer Allaire's products or obtain licenses on commercially reasonable terms may not be successful, and, in any case, would substantially increase costs and have a material adverse effect on Allaire's business, operating results and financial condition. Allaire does not conduct comprehensive patent searches to determine whether the technology used in its products infringes patents held by third parties. In addition, product development is inherently uncertain in a rapidly evolving technological environment in which there may be numerous patent applications pending, many of which are confidential when filed, with regard to similar technologies. Although Allaire is generally indemnified against claims that third party technology that it licenses infringes the proprietary rights of others, this indemnification is not always available for all types of intellectual property rights (for example, patents may be excluded) and in some cases the scope of such indemnification is limited. Even if Allaire receives broad indemnification, third party indemnitors are not always well-capitalized and may not be able to indemnify Allaire in the event of infringement, resulting in substantial exposure to Allaire. There can be no assurance that infringement or invalidity claims arising from the incorporation of third party technology in Allaire's products, and claims for indemnification from customers resulting from these claims, will not be asserted or prosecuted against Allaire. These claims, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial 12 13 and managerial resources in addition to potential product redevelopment costs and delays, all of which could materially adversely affect Allaire's business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, any claim of infringement could cause Allaire to incur substantial costs defending against the claim, even if the claim is invalid, and could distract Allaire's management from their business. A party making a claim also could secure a judgment that requires Allaire to pay substantial damages. A judgment could also include an injunction or other court order that could prevent Allaire from selling its products. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on Allaire's business, operating results and financial condition. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK As of June 30, 2000, Allaire was exposed to market risks which primarily include changes in U.S. interest rates. Allaire maintains a significant portion of its cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments in financial instruments with purchased maturities of 12 months or less. Allaire does not hold derivative financial instruments in its investment portfolio. Allaire's cash equivalents and short-term investments consist of high-quality corporate and government debt. These financial instruments are subject to interest rate risk and will decline in value if interest rates increase. Due to the short duration of these financial instruments, an immediate increase in interest rates would not have a material effect on Allaire's financial condition or results of operations. 13 14 PART II.
