The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated statements. 5 6 eshare communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (dollar and share amounts in thousands) (unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable to interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of our management, these consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which comprise only normal and recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2001 and 2000. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, as filed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Year Ended December 31, 2000. We have reclassified the presentation of certain prior period information to conform to the current presentation format. 2. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying financial statements include our accounts and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 3. Revenue Recognition We generate product revenues primarily from the sale of integrated systems, which are comprised of both hardware and software and software licenses. Our service revenues are generated from maintenance contracts that include support, parts, labor, and software update rights as well as fee-based installation, training, hosting, consulting services and the licensing of patents. We recognize revenue in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition," as amended by SOP 98-9, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB101"), "Revenue Recognition" and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-03, "Application of AICPA SOP 97-2 to Arrangements That Include the Right to Use Software Stored on Another Entity's Hardware." We recognize product revenues when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the product has been delivered, the license fee is fixed and determinable and collection of the fee is probable. Revenues from maintenance contracts are deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the contractual support period, which may range from one to four years. Consulting revenues are primarily related to extended services performed under separate service arrangements during the installation period. Revenues from consulting, hosting, installation, and training services are recognized as the services are performed or over the hosting period, if applicable. In contracts where product and services are bundled together, revenue is allocated to each element of the contract. Revenues from patent settlements are recognized as other income when received. Revenues from patent licenses are recognized per the contract terms and in accordance with SAB101. Certain of our sales contracts provide for certain payment terms normally based upon signing the contract, customer receipt of the product, and commencement of operation of the customer's system. Deferred revenues primarily relate to products that have not yet been delivered and maintenance services, which have been paid by the customers prior to the performance of those services. Deferred revenues were $11,328 and $11,463 at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. 4. Inventories Inventories are stated at the average cost or market. Cost includes raw materials, labor, and overhead. Market is defined as replacement cost for work in progress and raw materials and net realizable value for finished goods. Inventories consist of the following at: 6 7

5. Net (loss) income per share Net (loss) income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common stock and diluted common stock equivalent ("CSE") shares from stock options (using the treasury stock method) outstanding during each period. CSEs are not included in periods where they are antidilutive. The following table presents the components of diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Certain statements contained in this filing are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including but not limited to statements related to plans for future business development activities, anticipated costs of revenues, product mix and service revenues, research and development, and selling, general and administrative activities, and liquidity and capital needs and resources. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that any forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward looking statements. A discussion of certain risk factors that may cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements can be found in Exhibit 99.1 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2000, on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Results of Operations Revenues Product. Product revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 were $10,074 as compared to $12,667 for the same period ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of $2,593, or 20.5%. Revenue from the sale of telephony product decreased to $8,108 for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $9,231 in the quarter ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of $1,123 or 12.2%, principally due to the current down turn in capital spending as the United States economy slowed during the quarter and ongoing competitive pricing pressures within the call center industry. Sales of internet product decreased to $1,966 for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $3,436 in the quarter ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of $1,470 or 42.8%. This decrease resulted primarily from a downturn in the e-commerce market place. Service. Service revenues increased by $1,236, or 15.9% to $9,025 for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, as compared to service revenues of $7,789 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. Increased maintenance and consulting service revenue was the primary source of the new service revenues. Cost of Revenues Product. The cost of product revenues include the cost of material, fees paid to third parties for outsourced hardware assembly and the cost of sublicensing third-party software. The cost of product revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 was $2,500, a decrease of $352, or 12.3%, as compared to $2,852 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. This decrease in product cost is principally the result of software only upgrades for our existing telephony customers and the decline in absolute dollar sales of product. Cost of product revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 was 24.8% of related product revenues as compared to 22.5% of related product revenues for the comparable period ended March 31, 2000. The slight increase in absolute dollar terms in the cost of product revenue of 2.3% was due to the different mix of products sold. Service. The cost of service revenues primarily consist of employee-related costs and outsourcing costs for customer support, consulting and field service personnel, as well as fees paid to third parties for installation services and post installation, help desk, and hardware maintenance services. Our cost of service revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 increased to $5,760, or 63.8% of 10 11 related service revenues as compared to $4,160 or 53.4% of related service revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. This increase in cost of service revenues is related to the addition of personnel primarily to support Internet services plus investments to increase our customer support to a global, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week coverage. Operating Expenses Engineering, research and development. Engineering, research and development expenses primarily consist of employee-related costs for engineering personnel involved with Internet and telephony software product development. Also included are outside contractor costs for development projects. Engineering, research and development expenses decreased by $34, or 1.3%, to $2,641 in the quarter ended March 31, 2001, as compared to $2,675 in the quarter ended March 31, 2000. Engineering, research and development costs increased as a percentage of product revenue to 26.2% of product revenues for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001 as compared to 21.1% of product revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. We intend to continue to invest heavily in product development activities as we combine the telephony and Internet products into a seamless customer interaction management solution for our customers. As a result, we expect that engineering, research and development costs may increase in the future as a percentage of product sales. Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee-related costs for sales, marketing, administrative, finance and human resources personnel. Also included are marketing expenditures for trade shows, advertising, other promotional expenditures, as well as depreciation and bad debt expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, were unchanged compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2000. We intend to continue cost cutting efforts and expense control. Other Income (Expense), Net. Other income (expense), net increased by $260, or 230.1%, to $373 in the quarter ended March 31, 2001, as compared to $113 in the quarter ended March 31, 2000. Income Tax Provision (Benefit). For the quarter ended March 31, 2001, we recorded a tax benefit of $1,296 as compared to a tax benefit of $462 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 as the result of having a larger operating loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. Financial Condition Total assets at March 31, 2001, were $67,248, a decrease of $5,624 over total assets of $72,872 at December 31, 2000. This decrease was primarily due to decreased cash and cash equivalents as well as a decrease in accounts receivable. Current liabilities were $25,094 at March 31, 2001, down from $28,482 at December 31, 2000. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Liquidity and Capital Resources At March 31, 2001, we had $9,878 in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, compared to $14,727 as of December 31, 2000. Cash decreased due to the decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Net cash provided by investing activities included the sale of $1,444 of marketable securities, offset by the purchase of property and equipment of $597. Net cash provided by financing activities of $189 was primarily due to the proceeds of the issuance of common stock through our option program and employee stock purchase plan. Our working capital was $18,835 at March 31, 2001 as compared to $21,622 at December 31, 2000. We believe that existing cash and cash equivalents will be adequate to meet our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. 11 12 ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Foreign Exchange During the quarter ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000 total revenues from our international operations were approximately 21.0% and 19.0%, respectively, of our total revenues for all operations. Our international business is 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 impacted by changes in these or other factors. The effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our operations during the first quarter of 2001 was not material. Interest Rates We invest our cash in a variety of financial instruments, including taxable and tax-advantaged variable rate and fixed rate obligations of corporations, municipalities, and local, state and national governmental entities and agencies. These investments are denominated in U.S. dollars. Cash balances in foreign currencies are operating balances. Interest income on our investments is carried in "Other income (expense), net" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We account for our investment instruments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS 115"). All of the cash equivalents and short-term investments are treated as available-for-sale under SFAS 115. 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 due to 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 due to changes in interest rates, or we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities which have seen a decline in market value due to changes in interest rates. The weighted-average interest rate on investment securities at March 31, 2001 was approximately 5.07% based on predominately tax-free instruments. The fair value of securities held at March 31, 2001 was $5.7 million. 12 13 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings. Many of our installations involve products that are critical to the operations of its clients' businesses. Any failure in one of our products could result in a claim for substantial damages against us, regardless of our responsibility for such failure. Although we attempt to limit contractually our liability for damages arising from product failures or negligent acts or omissions, there can be no assurance the limitations of liability set forth in our contracts will be enforceable in all instances. We are not currently party to any material legal proceedings. Item 2. Changes in Securities. None. Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities. None. Item 4.
