PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS Overview Actuate Corporation is a leading provider of Information Delivery software products and services. Information Delivery, along with Databases, Content Management and Application Servers, is a critical technology component of an organization's e.Business platform. Our Actuate e.Reporting Suite 5 (Actuate 5) product line provides a platform for retrieving business information from corporate databases and delivering it as interactive Web pages and Excel spreadsheets in the form of reports to customers, partners and employees. Actuate 5 allows companies to create, manage and deliver secure formatted content, using business information from multiple data sources, and to make that high-value business content available on their Web sites. Our products and services are used by our customers to deliver reports such as transaction histories, service level information, performance summaries, manufacturing and distribution status and customer account information. Actuate 5 is a scalable, dynamic platform that can be seamlessly integrated into any Web site and its server-centric architecture provides the building blocks for an Information Delivery environment of any size. Actuate 5's open environment allows developers to create content from virtually any data source and present it in virtually any format required by our customers. Our products have been adopted in a wide variety of industries, including financial services, manufacturing, utilities, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, high technology, retail, health care and others and by a wide variety of organizations including Global 2000 companies and software application vendors. We sell our products in North America primarily through our direct sales force and our e.Business Application Partners, who integrate and resell Actuate software to their customers. Outside North America, we sell our products through our direct sales force in the countries in which we have an office and through distributors. Actuate was incorporated in November 1993 in the State of California and reincorporated in the State of Delaware in July 1998. Actuate's principal executive offices are located at 701 Gateway Boulevard, South San Francisco, California. Actuate's telephone number is 650-837-2000. Actuate maintains a Web site at www.actuate.com. The information posted on the Web site is not incorporated into this Annual Report. 3 Industry Background The emergence and acceptance of the Internet and the World Wide Web has fundamentally changed the way that consumers and businesses communicate, obtain information, purchase goods and transact business. As the Internet has become more accessible, functional and widely used, it has emerged as a primary business channel for many organizations. Businesses are increasingly using the Internet as both a marketing tool and distribution channel to communicate, conduct business and strengthen relationships with customers, partners and employees. The growth in the number of Internet users, as well as the open and interactive nature of the Internet, has led many businesses to seek new ways to take advantage of this global platform. To conduct business online, organizations are developing and deploying e.Business platforms. These platforms typically consist of four primary technology components. First, is the Database to organize data so that its contents can easily be accessed, managed and updated. Second, is the Content Management, which allows a company to manage and publish unstructured content, such as electronic catalogs and marketing materials. Third, to deploy online applications, such as the ability to conduct complex transactions, manage supply chains and interact with customers, the e.Business platform should include an Application Server. The fourth technology component of an e.Business platform is Information Delivery. By rapidly deploying large numbers of online applications, companies are capturing a vast amount of information about their relationships with customers and partners as well as information about their internal operations. It is imperative that a company be able to deliver this information in a personalized manner to its customers, partners and employees via the Web. An Information Delivery solution must also seamlessly integrate into the Web site and must be robust and scalable to support hundreds of thousands of users. The Actuate Solution Actuate e.Reporting Suite 5 is an Information Delivery platform that allows companies to create, manage and deliver secure formatted content, on their Web sites for use by customers, partners and employees. Actuate 5 can provide any type of personalized report such as: . Transaction histories . Service level information . Performance summaries . Manufacturing and distribution status . Customer account information . Financial statements Actuate 5 allows an organization to provide its customers, partners and employees access, via the Web, to high value business content, which allows those customers, partners and employees to make better decisions while also allowing the organization to increase revenue, reduce costs and improve customer service. Actuate 5 contains the following attributes: . Create compelling content rapidly. Our open environment, including our Java and Spreadsheet development environments, allows developers to create any type of content from nearly any data source, in any format using any calculation. Support for DHTML allows developers to design rich interactive content without the need for a plug-in. Actuate 5 is based on an object-oriented architecture that is designed to give developers a complete visual environment for structuring, compiling, viewing and debugging sophisticated reports. Our component-based architecture enables developers to build e.Reports by dragging and dropping standard components that can be customized and stored in libraries for reuse. 4 . Integrate with any Web site. Architected specifically to leverage the functionality of the Internet, our Information Delivery solution is designed to be seamlessly integrated into an organization's Web site. Critical business information becomes accessible to a company's customers, suppliers and employees without any need for training. . Scale to hundreds of thousands of users. Our e.Reporting and e.Spreadsheet servers are highly scalable and can deliver content to hundreds of thousands of users. Our solution is designed to meet the Information Delivery needs of an organization as the amount of content published on its Web site and the populations of users accessing that information grows rapidly. . Snap into Web/IT infrastructure. Our products support widely used operating systems, Web servers, databases and Internet standards. Our Open Server permits the management of content developed with our e.Spreadsheet and Java development products and many types of existing non-Actuate reports. Our products also incorporate advanced technologies, critical for Internet applications, such as page level security, LDAP integration and XML. Strategy Our strategy is to be the leading provider of Information Delivery solutions. Key elements of our strategy include: Expand Market Leadership Position through Strategic Relationships. We believe that we have established a leading position in the emerging market for Information Delivery. To accelerate the adoption of Actuate 5 as the standard Information Delivery platform for Web sites, we have established strategic relationships with leading software application vendors, systems integrators, consulting firms and development partners. We intend to further develop our existing strategic relationships and enter into new partnerships to expand our market presence and leadership. Extend Technology Leadership. Since inception, we have focused our research and development efforts on developing core technologies that address the requirements of Information Delivery. Through business combinations we have also acquired complementary technologies to expand our Information Delivery offerings. Our products integrate a number of advanced technologies, including a patent pending method of providing page level security in a report, LDAP integration, advanced viewing technology incorporating Java, PDF, DHTML and XML, a patented method of storing report objects, a multi-tier architecture, Web access and delivery technology and spreadsheet technology. In addition, we have in the past rapidly incorporated new technology into our product offerings. We believe that we are a leader in Information Delivery technology and we intend to extend this leadership position by continuing to devote significant resources to research and development efforts, and by acquiring and integrating complementary technologies. Broaden Distribution Channels. To date, our products have been sold worldwide by our direct sales force and through our e.Business Application Partners, distributors and systems integrators. In the future, we intend to expand our direct sales forces and telesales capability. In addition, we intend to continue to leverage and grow our existing network of e.Business Application Partners, systems integrators and distributors and expand our indirect distribution channel worldwide. Leverage e.Services Capabilities. We have established successful relationships with our clients by serving as an advisor in developing and deploying Information Delivery applications. We are extending our direct e.Services capabilities to provide an expanded set of services to address such areas as Web-based Information Delivery strategy, project management, security integration and application design. In addition, we offer similar high-quality professional services capabilities through third-party alliances and are currently focused on the development of relationships with Global/National systems integrators. By offering our clients a full range of e.Services on a global basis, we believe we can broaden market awareness about the advantages of our Information Delivery solutions and create opportunities to sell new or additional products to clients. 5 Increase International Presence. We plan to increase our international operations. Outside North America, we have established subsidiaries in a number of countries and have distributor relationships throughout Europe, Asia/Pacific, South America and Africa. We have localized versions of our products in French, German, Spanish and Japanese and support Chinese, Korean, and right-to-left reporting. We intend to expand our international operations by increasing our international sales force, expanding our distribution channels worldwide and by continuing the localization of our products in selected markets and increasing our internationalization capabilities by providing support for Unicode data. Products and Technology Actuate e.Reporting Suite 5 is a fully integrated, Web-based Information Delivery suite of software products that provide the most effective platform for retrieving business information from corporate databases and delivering it as interactive Web pages and spreadsheets in the form of reports to customers, partners and employees. In the case of direct sales to end-user customers, our server products are typically priced on a per CPU basis and our development products are typically priced on a per user basis. Indirect sales are usually either fixed price, unlimited usage arrangements or arrangements where royalties are paid to us based on sell through to end-users. The following table sets forth the primary products that comprise Actuate 5:

6 Sales We sell our software products through two primary means: (i) directly to end-user customers through our direct sales force and (ii) through indirect channel partners such as e.Business Application Partners, distributors and systems integrators. Our products are used by customers in a wide variety of industries, including financial services, manufacturing, utilities, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, high technology, retail, and health care and by a wide variety of organizations including Global 2000 companies. The direct sales process to end-user customers involves the generation of sales leads through Web-based marketing, direct mail, seminars and telemarketing. Our field sales force typically conducts demonstrations and presentations of our products to developers and management at customer sites as part of the direct sales effort. Our telesales force conducts demonstrations via the Web and sells our products over the phone. We also have a business development group that focuses on establishing and maintaining relationships with systems integrators. Systems integrators typically re-market our products to their customer base as part of an application being built for a customer. They are offered discounts on our products and sell a full use license of the product. Our systems integrators do not provide post-sales support. We also have a separate sales force that addresses the software application vendor market. These vendors integrate our products with their applications and either resell or provide them in hosted environment to their customers. The e.Business Application Partner's end-user customer is licensed to use our products solely in conjunction with the vendor's application with which the Actuate Information Delivery solution is integrated. We offer an upgrade license to such end-user customers, which permits them to create content or reports outside the scope of the particular vendor application. e.Business Application Partners provide the first level of post-sales support to their customers. Our ability to achieve revenue growth in the future will depend in large part on our success in expanding our direct sales force and in further establishing and maintaining relationships with e.Business Application Partners and systems integrators. International Operations We also sell our products outside North America directly through subsidiaries located worldwide and through distributors located in Europe, Asia/Pacific, South America and Africa. International sales accounted for 23%, 15% and 14% of our revenues in fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Our international subsidiaries and distributors perform some or all of the following functions: sales and marketing, systems integration, software development, and ongoing consulting, training and customer support. In exchange for providing such services, we offer our distributors discounts on products and services. Our ability to achieve revenue growth in the future will depend in large part on our success in increasing revenues from international sales. We intend to continue to invest significant resources to expand our sales and support operations outside North America and to enter additional international markets. In order to expand international sales, we must establish additional foreign operations, expand our international channel management and support organizations, hire additional personnel, recruit additional international distributors and increase the productivity of existing international distributors. e.Services Our e.Services organization provides high value "implementation solutions" consulting services to customers developing and deploying Information Delivery solutions with our products. These services include methodology, security integration, limited application integration and performance evaluation. We also actively recruit and train third party consulting firms to provide implementation services for our products. Due to the critical nature of Information Delivery, we believe that our e.Services group and relationships with our consulting partners play a key role in facilitating initial license sales and enabling customers to successfully develop and deploy Actuate-based solutions. In addition, we offer, directly and through our network of certified training partners, classes and training programs for our products. 7 Marketing Our marketing organization is focused on generating leads, building market awareness and acceptance of our company and our products as well as on developing strategic marketing, technology and other relationships. We have a comprehensive marketing strategy with several key components: image and awareness building, direct marketing to both prospective and existing customers, a strong Web presence, as well as broad-scale marketing programs in conjunction with key partners. Our corporate marketing strategy includes print advertising, public relations activities, trade shows and user group meetings, as well as programs to work closely with industry analysts and other influential third parties. Our direct marketing activities include extensive Web-based marketing campaigns, participation in selected trade shows and conferences and targeted ongoing direct mail and email efforts to existing and prospective customers. We also offer seminars, both in-person and over the Web, to educate prospective customers about our Information Delivery solution. Finally, we have invested in building a partner and channel marketing function to conduct cooperative marketing programs with our technology partners. Customer Service We believe that providing superior customer service is critical to the successful sale and marketing of our products. Maintenance and support contracts, which are typically for 12 months, are offered with the initial license of software and may be renewed annually. Maintenance fees are typically set at a percentage of the total license fees paid by a customer. Substantially all of our direct sales to customers have maintenance and support contracts that entitle the customer to software patches, updates and enhancements at no additional cost and technical support during normal business hours. Customers purchasing maintenance are able to access Actuate's support centers located in the United States, Australia, France, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom via email and telephone during normal business hours. We supplement our telephone support with Web-based support services, including access to cases, resolutions, online Web forums and a software patch download area. We also offer extended and enterprise maintenance plans that give our customers access to 24x7 support and additional support services. To improve access to our explanatory materials, we provide online documentation with all of our products. Research and Development Our research and development organization is divided into groups consisting of product managers, development engineers, quality assurance engineers, technical writers and developer communications personnel. Our development process begins with requirement specification, proceeds to functional design, followed by technical design and concludes with implementation. Requirements are based on the needs of customers and prospects, as well as competitive, technology and industry factors. Our development group uses detailed processes and frequent milestones during the functional and technical design phases. During implementation, the product is built and tested daily and our quality assurance group verifies that functionality, quality and performance criteria are met. Research and development expenses were $19.0 million, $14.9 million and $9.3 million in fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. We intend to continue to make substantial investments in research and development and related activities to maintain and enhance our product lines. We believe that our future success will depend on our ability to create products that directly address our customers' needs, leverage the latest technology innovations, are of high quality, and support current and future releases of popular operating systems platforms, development languages, databases, Internet standards, and e.Business software applications. We intend to maintain and improve our current product line and to timely develop or acquire new products that achieve market acceptance. Any failure by us to do so would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. 8 Competition Our market is intensely competitive and characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving standards. Our competition comes in five principal forms: . direct competition from current or future software vendors such as Business Objects S.A., Crystal Decisions and Brio Technology, Inc.; . indirect competition from vendors of Business Intelligence tools such as Cognos, Inc., MicroStrategy Incorporated and Microsoft that integrate reporting functionality with such tools; . indirect competition from e.Business software vendors such as SAP and Oracle, to the extent they include Information Delivery functionality in their applications; . competition from other e.Business software vendors and Internet development tool vendors; and . competition from the information technology departments of current or potential customers that may develop Information Delivery solutions internally which may be cheaper and more customized than our products. Many of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than us. These competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sales of their products than we may. Also, most current and potential competitors, including companies such as Oracle and Microsoft, have greater name recognition and the ability to a leverage significant installed customer base. These companies could integrate competing Information Delivery software with their products, resulting in a loss of market share for us. We expect additional competition as other established and emerging companies enter the Information Delivery software market and new products and technologies are introduced. Increased competition could result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced gross margins, longer sales cycles and loss of market share, any of which would harm our business, operating results and financial condition. Current and potential competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties, thereby increasing their ability to address the Information Delivery needs of our prospective customers. Also our current or future channel partners may have established in the past, or may in the future, establish cooperative relationships with our current or potential competitors, thereby limiting our ability to sell our products through particular distribution channels. It is possible that new competitors or alliances among current and new competitors may emerge and rapidly gain significant market share. Such competition could harm our ability to obtain revenues from license fees from new or existing customers and service revenues from new or existing customers on terms favorable to us. If we are unable to compete successfully against current and future competitors our business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed. Intellectual Property Rights We have two issued and two pending U.S. patents and we rely primarily on a combination of copyright and trademark laws, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary technology. For example, we license our software pursuant to shrink-wrap or signed license agreements, which impose certain restrictions on licensees' ability to utilize the software. In addition, we seek to avoid disclosure of our intellectual property, including requiring those persons with access to our proprietary information to execute confidentiality agreements with us and restricting access to our source code. We seek to protect our software, documentation and other written materials under trade secret and copyright laws, which afford only limited protection. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of our 9 products is difficult, and while we are unable to determine the extent to which piracy of our software products exists, software piracy can be expected to be a persistent problem. In addition, the laws of many countries do not protect our proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States. If our means of protecting our proprietary rights is not adequate or our competitors independently develop similar technology, our business could be seriously harmed. We expect Information Delivery software product developers will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products and competitors in our industry segment grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps. Any such claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming to defend, result in costly litigation, divert management's attention and resources, cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. A successful claim of product infringement against us and our failure or inability to license the infringed or similar technology could harm our business, operating results and financial condition. Employees As of December 31, 2001, we had 579 full-time employees, including 256 in sales and marketing, 126 in research and development, 133 in services and support, and 64 in general and administrative functions. None of our employees are represented by a collective bargaining agreement, nor have we experienced a work stoppage. We believe our employee relations are good. We also believe that our future success will depend in large part upon our continuing ability to attract and retain highly skilled managerial, sales, marketing, customer support and research and development personnel and, in particular, executive officers.

PROPERTIES Actuate's properties consist of leased facilities for sales and marketing, research and development, services and support and administrative personnel. Actuate's headquarters facilities consist of approximately 115,000 square feet in South San Francisco, California. Actuate also leases office facilities in various locations in the United States and abroad. We believe that our existing facilities are adequate for our current needs and that additional space sufficient to meet our needs for the foreseeable future will be available on reasonable terms. As a result of our California facilities being located near major earthquake fault lines, in the event of an earthquake our business, financial condition and operating results could be seriously harmed. In addition, California has experienced energy power shortages. If such power shortages result in numerous or prolonged brownouts or blackouts, our business, financial condition and operating results could be seriously harmed. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In August, 2001, a lawsuit was filed in the Virginia Circuit Court for Fairfax County against us and two of our employees by MicroStrategy, Inc. The lawsuit alleges that these employees, who previously worked for MicroStrategy, breached their fiduciary and contractual obligations to Microstrategy by, among other things, misappropriating trade secrets and confidential information and soliciting MicroStrategy employees. The complaint seeks injunctive relief and damages. Actuate believes the lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend this case vigorously. We are also engaged in certain legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Although there can be no assurance as to the outcome of such litigation, we believe we have adequate legal defenses and we believe that the ultimate outcome of any of these actions will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF THE SECURITY HOLDERS We did not submit any matters to a vote of our security holders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. 12 PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS Our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "ACTU" and has been traded on Nasdaq since Actuate's initial public offering in 1998. The following table sets forth the high and low closing sales prices of our common stock during the last two years. All share prices have been adjusted to reflect Actuate's two stock splits, which occurred on December 3, 1999 and August 15, 2000.
High Low ------ ------ First Quarter of Fiscal 2000. $35.47 $17.34 Second Quarter of Fiscal 2000 $26.69 $10.00 Third Quarter of Fiscal 2000. $34.55 $21.00 Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2000 $36.00 $14.81 First Quarter of Fiscal 2001. $24.00 $ 8.19 Second Quarter of Fiscal 2001 $15.09 $ 5.25 Third Quarter of Fiscal 2001. $10.65 $ 3.56 Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2001 $ 6.95 $ 3.75
According to the records of Actuate's transfer agent, as of January 31, 2002, Actuate had 176 stockholders of record (which number does not include the number of stockholders whose shares are held by a brokerage house or clearing agency, but does include such brokerage house or clearing agency as one record holder). We believe we had approximately 7,800 beneficial owners of our common stock. On February 28, 2002, the closing price of our common stock was $5.01 per share. We have never paid a cash dividend on our common stock and do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. 13 ITEM 6.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The statements contained in this Report on Form 10-K that are not purely historical statements are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, including statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, hopes, intentions or strategies regarding the future. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements. See "Risk Factors that May Affect Future Results" and "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in this Report on Form 10-K and the risks discussed in other reports filed by us from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Overview We are a provider of Information Delivery software products and services for e.Business. We began shipping our first product in January 1996. We sell software products through two primary means: (i) directly to end-user customers through our direct sales force and (ii) through indirect channel partners such as e.Business Application Partners, distributors and system integrators. e.Business Application Partners generally integrate our products with their applications and either provide hosting services or resell them with their products. Our other indirect channel partners resell our software products to end-user customers. Our revenues are derived from license fees for software products and, to a lesser extent, fees for services relating to such products, including software maintenance and support, consulting and training. License fee revenues from sales of software products directly to end-user customers are recognized as revenues after execution of a non-cancelable signed license agreement or receipt of a definitive purchase order and shipment of the product, provided that fees are fixed or determinable, no vendor obligations remain and collection of the resulting receivables is deemed probable. Probability of collection is based upon the assessment of the customer's financial condition through the review of their current financial statements or credit reports. For follow-on sales to existing customers, prior payment history is also used to evaluate probability of collection. Our products do not require significant customization. The majority of license fee revenues from sales to end-user customers is from sales of specific individual products to such customers and is recognized upon shipment of the applicable product. Advance payments from end-user customers, in arrangements in which the end-user customer has the right to future unspecified products, are deferred and recognized as revenues ratably over the period, typically one year, during which the end-user is entitled to receive the products. Such arrangements were not a significant percentage of our revenues in fiscal 2001. License arrangements with end-user customers generally give the customer a perpetual license to use our software, are terminable by either party in the event of a material breach of the license agreement by the other party if such breach is not cured within a specified cure period, contain certain representations, warranties and indemnities and provisions designed to limit the parties' liability under the license agreement. License arrangements with e.Business Application Partners are for specified duration and require that such vendors only license our products to their customers for use with such vendor's application. Furthermore, license arrangements with distributors give such distributors the right to distribute our products to customers headquartered in specified territories. License arrangements with indirect channel partners such as e.Business Application Partners, system integrators and distributors generally take the form of arrangements pursuant to which a license fee is paid to us, which we recognize as revenues when no further obligations remain, provided that the fees are fixed or determinable and collection of the resulting receivables is deemed probable. We have also entered into certain fixed price arrangements in which the contracting entity has the right to the unlimited usage, unspecified future products, and resale of the licensed software for a specified term and pursuant to which license fee revenues are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the license agreement. In certain situations where customers have received payment terms outside of our customary standard terms but within one year, we have recognized revenues upon delivery, provided that we have collected all payments as due under comparable arrangements, without providing concession, in the past. 15 We have not established vendor specific objective evidence of fair value ("VSOE") for license sales and therefore we recognize revenues from arrangements with multiple elements involving software licenses under the residual method as outlined in Statement of Position No. 97.2 "Software Revenue Recognition." To the extent that a discount exists on any of the elements, we follow the residual method and attribute that discount entirely to the delivered elements. Service revenues are primarily comprised of revenues from maintenance agreements, consulting and training fees. Revenues from maintenance agreements are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis as service revenues over the term of the related agreement, which is typically one year. Service revenues from consulting and training services are recognized when performed. To date, we have sold our products internationally primarily through our subsidiaries in Europe and Asia/Pacific. During fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, we derived 23%, 15% and 14% of our total revenues, respectively, from sales outside North America. Our ability to achieve revenue growth in the future will depend in large part on our success in increasing revenues from international sales. Although we intend to continue to invest significant resources to expand our sales and support operations outside North America and to enter additional international markets, we cannot assure you that such efforts will be successful. In order to successfully expand international sales, we must establish additional foreign operations, expand our international channel management and support organizations, hire additional personnel, recruit additional international distributors and increase the productivity of existing international distributors. If we are not successful in expanding international operations in a timely and cost-effective manner, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. We have a limited ability to forecast future revenues and expenses, thus the prediction of future operating results is difficult and unreliable. In addition, historical growth rates in our revenues and earnings should not be considered indicative of future revenue or earnings growth rates or operating results. There can be no assurance that any of our business strategies will be successful or that we will be able to achieve and maintain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. It is likely that in some future quarter our operating results will be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors, and in such event the price of our common stock could decline. In June 1999, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Actuate Holding, B.V. ("BV"), the parent company of our distributors based in France, Germany and the United Kingdom. The acquisition was accounted under the purchase method of accounting. In connection with this acquisition, we recorded $9.6 million in goodwill and identified intangible assets, which are being amortized over periods not exceeding four years on a straight-line basis. The results of operations of BV and the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. In February 2000, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Open Software Technology LLC ("OST") for cash and shares of Actuate stock. The acquisition was accounted under the purchase method of accounting. In connection with this acquisition, we recorded $13.1 million in goodwill and identified intangible assets, which are being amortized over periods not exceeding four years on a straight-line basis. The results of operations of OST and the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. In March 2000, we purchased all the assets and business of EnterpriseSoft. In connection with this purchase, we recorded $8.7 million in goodwill and identified intangible assets, which are being amortized over periods not exceeding four years on a straight-line basis. The results of operations of EnterpriseSoft and the estimated fair value of assets acquired are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of purchase. In April 2000, we purchased additional shares of our distributor in Japan ("Actuate Japan") from existing shareholders and became the majority shareholder. We currently own 66.7% of Actuate Japan. In connection 16 with this purchase, we recorded $1.5 million in goodwill, which is being amortized over four years on a straight-line basis. The results of operations of Actuate Japan and the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date we became the majority shareholder. The excess loss applicable to the minority shareholders has been charged to us, as the minority shareholders are not obligated to contribute their share of losses exceeding their equity capital. In May 2001, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Tidestone Technologies, Inc. ("Tidestone"), a software technology company. In connection with this purchase, we recorded $16.7 million in goodwill and identified intangible assets, which are being amortized over periods not exceeding four years on a straight-line basis. The results of operations of Tidestone and the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates General. Discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On a regular basis, we evaluate estimates, including those related to bad debts, intangible assets, income taxes, restructuring, and litigation. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition. Our revenue recognition policy is significant because our revenues are a key component of our results of operations. We follow very specific and detailed guidelines, discussed above, in measuring revenues; however, certain judgments affect the application of our revenue policy. For example, we are required to exercise judgment in evaluating risk of concession when payments terms are beyond normal credit period of net 60 days. Further, assessment of collectibility is particularly critical in determining whether or not revenues should be recognized in the current market environment. We also record a small provision for estimated sales returns on product and service related sales in the same period as the related revenues are recorded. These estimates are based on historical sales returns, analysis of credit memo data and other known factors. If the historical data we use to calculate these estimates does not properly reflect future returns, revenues could be overstated. Goodwill and Intangible Assets. We have significant intangible assets, including goodwill. The determination of estimated useful lives and whether or not these assets are impaired involves significant judgments. We periodically evaluate acquired goodwill and intangible assets for potential impairment indicators. Our judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on market conditions and operational performances of the acquired assets. In assessing the recoverability of these assets, we must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors. If these estimates and related assumptions change in the future, significant impairment charges may be recorded in future periods. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is established through a charge to general and administrative expenses. This allowance is for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. It is a significant estimate and is regularly evaluated by us for adequacy by taking into consideration factors such as past experience, credit quality of the customer, age of the receivable balance, individually and in the aggregate, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer's ability 17 to pay. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce different allowance balances. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Allowance for Deferred Tax Assets. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While we have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of our net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income or reduce loss and increase shareholder's equity in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be charged to income in the period such determination was made. Contingencies. We are engaged in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. We are required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of reserves required, if any, for these contingencies are made after careful analysis of each individual matter. The required reserves, if any, may change in future due to new developments in each matter or changes in approach, such as a change in settlement strategy for a particular matter. Results of Operations The following table sets forth certain consolidated statement of operations data as a percentage of total revenues for the periods indicated:

Revenues Our revenues are derived from license fees and services, which include software maintenance and support, consulting and training. Total revenues increased by 129% from $46.8 million in fiscal 1999 to $107.3 million in 18 fiscal 2000 and by 17% to $125.0 million in fiscal 2001. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenues for any of the periods presented. License Fees. Revenues from license fees increased by 106% from $35.0 million in fiscal 1999 to $72.3 million in fiscal 2000 and by 9% to $79.1 million in fiscal 2001. The increase in fiscal 2000 was due primarily to increased sales to new customers and increased follow-on sales to existing customers and, to a lesser extent, increase in average selling prices for our products. The increase in fiscal 2001 was due primarily to increased sales to new customers and increased follow-on sales to existing customers. Revenues from license fees from our indirect channel partners, including e.Business Application Partners, system integrators and distributors, accounted for 50%, 45% and 39% of total revenues from license fees for fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Services. Revenues from services increased by 197% from $11.8 million in fiscal 1999 to $35.0 million in fiscal 2000 and by 31% to $45.9 million in fiscal 2001. The increase in fiscal 2000 was primarily due to increase in demand for our professional services and an increase in the installed base of customers receiving ongoing maintenance and support. The increase in fiscal 2001 was due primarily to an increase in the installed base of customers receiving ongoing maintenance and support. Costs and Expenses Cost of License Fees. Cost of license fees consists primarily of product packaging, documentation and production costs, and localization of our software for international distribution. Cost of license fees increased from $896,000, or 3% of revenues from license fees, in fiscal 1999 to $2.0 million, or 3% of revenues from license fees, in fiscal 2000 and increased to $2.3 million, or 3% of revenues from license fees, in fiscal 2001. The increases in absolute dollars were primarily due to packaging and production costs to support increased sales. Cost of Services. Cost of services consists primarily of personnel and related costs, facilities costs incurred in providing software maintenance and support, training and consulting services, as well as third-party costs incurred in providing training and consulting services. Cost of services increased from $6.0 million, or 51% of services revenues, in fiscal 1999 to $21.0 million, or 60% of services revenues, in fiscal 2000 and to $27.5 million, or 60% of services revenues, in fiscal 2001. The increase in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of services revenues in fiscal 2000 was primarily due to increases in consulting personnel obtained in the OST acquisition and increased third-party costs to support the growing needs of our customers. The increase in cost of services in absolute dollars in fiscal 2001 was primarily due to the expansion of our customer service organization to support our increasing installed customer base. We expect that cost of services will continue to grow in absolute dollars in the future as we continue to hire additional customer service personnel and consultants to support our customers' demand for our services. Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions and bonuses earned by sales and marketing personnel, promotional expenses, travel, entertainment and facility costs. Sales and marketing expenses increased by 115% from $22.4 million, or 48% of total revenues, in fiscal 1999 to $48.1 million, or 45% of total revenues, in fiscal 2000 and by 22% to $58.9 million, or 47% of total revenues, in fiscal 2001. The increases in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of total revenues were primarily due to the hiring of additional sales and marketing personnel, higher sales commissions associated with increased revenues and increased marketing program activities. We expect that sales and marketing expense will continue to increase in absolute dollars in future periods as we continue to hire additional sales and marketing personnel, establish additional sales offices, expand international distribution channels and increase promotional activities. Research and Development. Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of personnel and related costs associated with the development of new products, the enhancement of 19 existing products, quality assurance and testing. Research and development expenses increased by 61% from $9.3 million, or 20% of total revenues, in fiscal 1999 to $14.9 million, or 14% of total revenues, in fiscal 2000 and by 27% to $19.0 million, or 15% of total revenues, in fiscal 2001. The increases in absolute dollars were primarily due to increased personnel and related costs associated with the development of new products, the enhancement of existing products, quality assurance and testing, depreciation of capital expenditures and facilities costs. We believe that a significant level of investment in product development is essential to maintain product leadership and anticipate research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars in future periods for developing new products and providing enhancements to current products. General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and related costs for finance, human resources, information systems and general management, as well as legal and accounting expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by 102% from $3.5 million, or 7% of total revenues, in fiscal 1999 to $7.0 million, or 7% of total revenues, in fiscal 2000 and by 55% to $10.9 million, or 9% of total revenues, in fiscal 2001. The increases in general and administrative expenses in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of total revenues were primarily due to increased personnel and related costs. Our expenses for fiscal 2001 included approximately $2.3 million in facility expenses for a building that is currently unoccupied. We will continue to evaluate our future plans for this building and other facilities. If we reach a decision to abandon any of these facilities, we may have to accrue significant charges for the payments due under the remaining non cancelable lease terms, net of anticipated sub-lease income, and for the write-down in leasehold improvements and construction in progress. Such charges may be material and may involve significant use of cash if we choose to pay a settlement fee to exit any abandoned facility. We believe that general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollars in future periods as we hire additional personnel to support expanded operations. Amortization of Goodwill and Other Purchased Intangibles. In connection with the acquisition of BV in June 1999, we recognized $9.6 million in goodwill and identified intangible assets. In addition, we recognized $13.1 million in goodwill and identified intangible assets in our acquisition of OST in February 2000 and $8.7 million in goodwill and identified intangible assets in our acquisition of EnterpriseSoft in March 2000. In April 2000, we purchased additional shares of Actuate Japan and became the majority shareholder. We recognized $1.5 million in goodwill as a result of consolidating Actuate Japan's financial statements. In May 2001, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Tidestone and recognized $16.7 million of goodwill and other intangible assets. All of these acquisitions were accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill and identified intangibles are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods not exceeding four years. In fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, we recorded amortization expenses of $10.7 million, $7.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Approximately $30.5 million remains to be amortized. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Use of the pooling-of-interest is prohibited. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the new standards. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. We will apply the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning January 1, 2002. However, we are still assessing the financial impact of the new standard. During the first six months of 2002, we will perform the required transitional impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of January 1, 2002 and have not yet determined what the effect of these tests will be on our earnings and financial position. Restructuring Costs. During the second and third quarter of fiscal 2001, we implemented restructuring actions that resulted in aggregate charges of $859,000. The restructuring costs consisted entirely of severance 20 payments, payroll taxes and extended medical benefits. The restructuring plan resulted in the elimination of approximately 15% of our worldwide workforce. As of December 31, 2001, we had eliminated 114 positions across all levels and functions. During the year, we paid $782,000 in cash and we expect that our remaining accrual of $77,000 will be paid in the first calendar quarter of fiscal 2002. Deferred Compensation. Deferred compensation represents the difference between the exercise price of certain stock option grants and the fair value of our Common Stock at the time of such grants and also includes the unvested intrinsic value of options assumed in business combinations. In fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, we recorded amortization expense of approximately $56,000, $61,000, and $91,000, respectively. All deferred compensation expense has been included in general and administrative expenses. At December 31, 2001, we had approximately $199,000 in deferred compensation remaining to be amortized. Upon cancellation of the underlying stock options, the unamortized portion has been offset against additional paid-in capital. Interest and Other Income, Net Interest and other income, net, are comprised primarily of interest income earned by us on our cash and short-term investments. Interest and other income, net, decreased from $1.3 million in fiscal 1999 to $891,000 in fiscal 2000, and increased to $1.1 million in fiscal 2001. The decrease in fiscal 2000 was due to lower interest income on a lower average annual investment base as we used cash to purchase OST, EnterpriseSoft and shares of Actuate Japan. The increase in fiscal 2001 was due primarily to higher cash and investment balances from which interest was earned. Provision for Income Taxes The provision for income taxes of $2.5 million was based on pretax losses of $3.9 million in fiscal 2001. The provision for income taxes of $2.6 million and $550,000 was based on the pretax income of $8.0 million and $4.4 million in fiscal years 2000 and 1999, respectively. The income tax expense in fiscal 2001 represents primarily federal and state alternative minimum taxes on pretax loss as adjusted for the impact of non-deductible goodwill amortization and temporary differences for which deferred tax assets cannot be recognized. The tax expense in fiscal years 2000 and 1999 represented primarily federal and state alternative minimum taxes on pretax income before non-deductible goodwill amortization, offset by the utilization of net operating losses and tax credits. The tax expense in fiscal 2001 decreased only slightly as compared to that in fiscal 2000 even though we incurred a pretax loss in fiscal 2001 as compared to pretax income in fiscal 2000. This is primarily due to the impact of higher non-deductible goodwill amortization expenses related to the acquisition of Tidestone, which occurred in fiscal 2001, and our inability to recognize a deferred tax asset for the temporary differences. The tax expense in fiscal 2000 as compared to fiscal 1999 increased primarily due to higher income and non-deductible goodwill amortization. We believe that, based on a number of factors, there is sufficient uncertainty regarding our ability to realize deferred tax assets and we have, therefore, not recognized any net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2001. These factors include consideration of past operating results, the competitive nature of our market and predictability of future operating results. We will continue to assess our ability to realize the tax benefits available to us based on actual and forecasted operating results. Liquidity and Capital Resources Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily through approximately $14.3 million in net proceeds from the private sales of preferred stock, $30.9 million in net proceeds from our initial public offering in July 1998, and cash from operations. At December 31, 2001, we had $39.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, an increase of $12.9 million from $26.9 million at December 31, 2000; and $28.1 million in net working capital, an increase $4.9 million from $23.2 million at December 31, 2000. In fiscal 1999, 21 we had $24.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and $20.7 million in net working capital. Net Cash from Operating Activities. During fiscal 2001, our operations provided net cash of $12.9 million. Cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to increases in amortization, depreciation, tax benefits from exercise of stock options, deferred revenues and decrease in accounts receivable, which were offset by net loss, and decreases in other current assets and accounts payable. During fiscal 2000, net cash provided by operating activities was $19.3 million, which was primarily due to increases in deferred revenue, net income as adjusted for amortization and depreciation, tax benefits from exercise of stock options, accrued compensation and other accrued liabilities that were offset by increases in accounts receivable and other current assets. During fiscal 1999, net cash provided by operating activities was $1.8 million, which was primarily due to increases in deferred revenue, net income as adjusted for amortization and depreciation and accrued compensation that were offset by increases in accounts receivable and other current assets. Cash Used in Investing Activities. Actuate's investing activities used net cash of $11.8 million dollars in fiscal 2001, compared to $5.3 million in fiscal 2000, an increase of $6.5 million. Approximately half of the cash used in investing activities during fiscal 2001 was for the purchase of property and equipment, including the furnishing of the additional office facility located adjacent to our South San Francisco headquarters. The remainder of the cash used in investing activities, net of proceeds from maturity of short-term investments, was primarily for the purchase of short-term investments. By comparison, in fiscal 2000, cash was used primarily to purchase property and equipment for our newly relocated and expanded facilities in South San Francisco, and for our acquisition of OST and EnterpriseSoft, which was offset by proceeds from the maturity of short-term investments. In fiscal 1999, net cash used in investing activities was $18.5 million. The cash was used primarily in the acquisition of BV and purchase of short-term investments. In connection with our acquisition of OST, we are obligated to pay $2.0 million in March 2002. Cash from Financing Activities. Cash flow from financing activities was $7.1 million in fiscal 2001, compared to cash flow from financing activities of $6.3 million in fiscal 2000, an increase of approximately $900,000. Net cash provided from financing activities was $1.4 million in fiscal 1999. The increase in fiscal 2001 was primarily attributable to the net proceeds from exercise of options under our stock option plan and from employee purchases of common stock under our stock purchase plan, offset by the open market repurchases of our stock and by the repayment of bank loan assumed in connection with the Tidestone acquisition. In fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999, the cash from financing activities primarily reflected the net proceeds from exercise of options under our stock option plan and from employee purchases of common stock under our stock purchase plan. We believe that our current cash balances and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditures requirements for at least the next twelve months. Thereafter, if cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may find it necessary to sell additional equity or obtain credit facilities. The sale of additional equity could result in additional dilution to our current stockholders. A portion of our cash may be used to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, including the acquisition of the minority interest in our Japanese distributor, or complementary products or to obtain the right to use complementary technologies. On September 19, 2001, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $6.0 million of our common stock. As of December 31, 2001, we have repurchased 430,000 shares or $1.8 million worth of common stock under this program. 22 Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments. Our future contractual obligations include minimum lease payments under operating leases at December 31, 2001, and are as follows (in thousands):
Payments Due by Fiscal Year Period ----------- -------- 2002....... $ 5,773 2003....... 5,552 2004....... 5,538 2005....... 5,663 2006....... 5,813 Thereafter. 18,336 ------- $46,675 =======
In addition, our future contractual obligations also include a $2.0 million payment to be made in fiscal 2002 in connection with our acquisition of OST. Further, in conjunction with the signing of our office building leases, we have provided the landlord with a letter of credit in the amount of $1.6 million as security deposit. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Use of the pooling-of-interest will be prohibited. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the new standards. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. We will apply the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning January 1, 2002. However, we are still assessing the financial impact of the new standard. During the first six months of 2002, we will perform the required transitional impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of January 1, 2002. We have not yet determined what the effect of these tests will be on our earnings and financial position. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated retirement costs. We are in the process of assessing the effect of adopting SFAS 143, which will be effective for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2002. In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which supersedes SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." SFAS 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of. However, SFAS 144 retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS 121 for: 1) recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used; and 2) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 144 to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. In November 2001, the staff of the FASB issued an announcement on the topic of "Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out of Pocket Expenses Incurred." This announcement requires companies to characterize reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses incurred as revenue in the income statement. This announcement should be applied in financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2001 and comparative financial statements for prior periods should be reclassified to comply with the guidance in this announcement. We will adopt the policies outlined in the announcement beginning in 2002. We are in the process of assessing the effect of adopting this statement, which will be effective for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2002. 23 RISK FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS Investors should carefully consider the following risk factors and warnings before making an investment decision. The risks described below are not the only ones facing Actuate. Additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently think are immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, operating results or financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. Investors should also refer to the other information set forth in this Report on Form 10-K, including the financial statements and the notes thereto. OUR OPERATING RESULTS MAY BE VOLATILE AND DIFFICULT TO PREDICT. IF WE FAIL TO MEET OUR ESTIMATES OF QUARTERLY AND ANNUAL OPERATING RESULTS OR WE FAIL TO MEET THE EXPECTATIONS OF PUBLIC MARKET ANALYSTS AND INVESTORS, THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR STOCK MAY DECREASE SIGNIFICANTLY. The susceptibility of our operating results to significant fluctuations makes any prediction, including our estimates, of future operating results unreliable. In addition, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results are not necessarily meaningful and you should not rely on them as indications of our future performance. Our operating results have in the past, and may in the future, vary significantly due to factors such as the following: . demand for our products; . the size and timing of significant orders for our products; . a slow down or a decrease in spending on information technology by our current and/or prospective customers; . general domestic and international economic and political conditions; . sales cycles and sales performance of our indirect channel partners; . continued successful relationships and the establishment of new relationships with e.Business application vendors; . the management and expansion of our international operations; . changes in our level of operating expenses and our ability to control costs; . ability to make new products commercially available in a timely manner; . budgeting cycles of our customers; . changes in pricing policies by us or our competitors; . failure to successfully manage acquisitions made by us; . defects in our products and other product quality problems; and . failure to meet hiring needs and unexpected personnel changes. Because our software products are typically shipped shortly after orders are received, total revenues in any quarter are substantially dependent on orders booked and shipped throughout that quarter. Booking of orders in the third quarter of 2001 was negatively impacted by the September 11/th terrorist attacks and future terrorists acts or war-time conditions are likely to impact the booking of orders in future periods. Furthermore, several factors may require us, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, to defer recognition of license fee revenue for a significant period of time after entering into a license agreement, including: / . whether the license agreement includes both software products that are then currently available and software products or other enhancements that are still under development; 24 . whether the license agreement relates entirely or partly to then currently undeliverable software products; . whether the license agreement requires the performance of services that may preclude revenue recognition until successful completion of such services; and . whether the license agreement includes acceptance criteria that may preclude revenue recognition prior to customer acceptance. In addition, we may in the future experience fluctuations in our gross and operating margins due to changes in the mix of our domestic and international revenues, changes in the mix of our direct sales and indirect sales and changes in the mix of license revenues and service revenues, as well as changes in the mix among the indirect channels through which our products are offered. A significant portion of our total revenues in any given quarter is derived from existing customers. Our ability to achieve future revenue growth, if any, will be substantially dependent upon our ability to increase revenues from license fees and services from existing customers, to expand our sales force and to increase the average size of our orders. To the extent that such increases do not occur in a timely manner, our business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed. Our expense levels and any plans for expansion, including plans to increase our sales and marketing and research and development efforts, are based in significant part on our expectations of future revenues and are relatively fixed in the short-term. If revenues fall below our expectations and we are unable to quickly reduce our spending in response, our business, operating results and financial condition are likely to be harmed. Based upon all of the factors described above, we have a limited ability to forecast future revenues and expenses, and it is likely that in some future quarter our operating results will be below our estimates or the expectations of public market analysts and investors. In the event that operating results are below our estimates or other expectations, the price of our common stock could decline. IF WE DO NOT SUCCESSFULLY EXPAND OUR DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS AND DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN RELATIONSHIPS WITH SOFTWARE APPLICATION VENDORS, OUR BUSINESS WOULD BE SERIOUSLY HARMED. To date, we have sold our products principally through our direct sales force, as well as through indirect sales channels, such as our e.Business Application Partners, distributors and systems integrators. Our revenues from license fees resulting from sales through indirect channel partners were approximately 50%, 45% and 39% in fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Our ability to achieve significant revenue growth in the future will depend in large part on the success of our sales force and in further establishing and maintaining relationships with indirect channel partners. In particular, a significant element of our strategy is to embed our technology in products offered by software application vendors for resale or as a hosted application to such vendors' customers and end-users. We intend to seek additional distribution arrangements with other software application vendors to embed our technology in their products and expect that these arrangements will continue to account for a significant portion of our revenues in future periods. Our future success will depend on the ability of our indirect channel partners to sell and support our products. If the sales and implementation cycles of our indirect channel partners are lengthy or variable or our e.Business Application Partners experience difficulties embedding our technology into their products or we fail to train the sales and customer support personnel of such indirect channel partners in a timely fashion, our business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed. Although we are currently investing, and plan to continue to invest, significant resources to expand and develop relationships with e.Business Application Partners, we have at times experienced and continue to experience difficulty in establishing and maintaining these relationships. If we are unable to successfully expand these distribution channels and secure license agreements with additional e.Business Application Partners on commercially reasonable terms, including significant up front payments of minimum license fees, and extend existing license agreements with existing e.Business Application Partners on commercially reasonable terms, our operating results would be harmed. Any inability by us to maintain existing or establish new relationships with 25 indirect channel partners, including systems integrators, or, if such efforts are successful, a failure of our revenues to increase correspondingly with expenses incurred in pursuing such relationships, would harm our business, operating results and financial condition. IF THE MARKET FOR INFORMATION DELIVERY SOFTWARE DOES NOT GROW AS WE EXPECT, OUR BUSINESS WOULD BE SERIOUSLY HARMED. The market for Information Delivery software products is still emerging and we cannot be certain that it will continue to grow or that, even if the market does grow, businesses will purchase our products. If the market for Information Delivery software products fails to grow or grows more slowly than we expect, our business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed. To date, all of our revenues have been derived from licenses for our e.Reporting software and related products and services, and we expect this to continue for the foreseeable future. We have spent, and intend to continue to spend, considerable resources educating potential customers and indirect channel partners about Information Delivery and our products. However, if such expenditures do not enable our products to achieve any significant degree of market acceptance, our business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed. BECAUSE THE SALES CYCLES OF OUR PRODUCTS ARE LENGTHY AND VARIABLE, OUR QUARTERLY RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE. The purchase of our products by our end-user customers for deployment within the customer's organization typically involves a significant commitment of capital and other resources, and is therefore subject to delays that are beyond our control. These delays can arise from a customer's internal procedures to approve large capital expenditures, budgetary constraints and the testing and acceptance of new technologies that affect key operations as well as general economic and political events. The sales cycle for an initial order of our products is typically 3 to 6 months and the sales cycle associated with a follow-on large scale deployment of our products typically extends for another 6 to 9 months or longer. We may experience longer sales cycles in the future. Additionally, sales cycles for sales of our products to e.Business Application Partners tend to be longer, ranging from 6 to 24 months or more and may involve convincing the vendor's entire organization that our products are the appropriate Information Delivery software for the vendor's application. This time period does not include the sales and implementation cycles of such vendor's own products, which are typically significantly longer than our sales and implementation cycles. Certain of our customers have in the past, or may in the future, experience difficulty completing the initial implementation of our products. Any difficulties or delays in the initial implementation by our end-user customers or our indirect channel partners could cause such customers to reject our software or lead to the delay or non-receipt of future orders for the large-scale deployment of our products. IF WE FAIL TO EXPAND OUR INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS OUR BUSINESS WOULD BE SERIOUSLY HARMED. During fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, we derived 23%, 15% and 14% of our total revenues, respectively, from sales outside North America. Our ability to achieve revenue growth in the future will depend in large part on our success in increasing revenues from international sales. We intend to continue to invest significant resources to expand our sales and support operations outside North America and to enter additional international markets. In order to expand international sales, we must establish additional foreign operations, expand our international channel management and support organizations, hire additional personnel, recruit additional international distributors and increase the productivity of existing international distributors. If we are not successful in expanding international operations in a timely and cost-effective manner, our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed. WE MAY MAKE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS AND ACQUISITIONS INVOLVE NUMEROUS RISKS Our business is highly competitive, and as such, our growth is dependent upon market growth and our ability to enhance our existing products, introduce new products on a timely basis and expand our distribution 26 channels and professional services organization. One of the ways we have addressed and will continue to address these issues is through acquisitions of other companies. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including the following: . difficulties in integration of the operations, technologies, and products of the acquired companies; . the risk of diverting management's attention from normal daily operations of the business; . negative impact to our financial condition and results of operations resulting from combining the acquired company's financial condition and results of operations with our financial statements; . risks of entering markets in which we have no or limited direct prior experience; and . the potential loss of key employees of the acquired company. Mergers and acquisitions of high-technology companies are inherently risky, and we cannot assure you that any acquisition will be successful and will not materially adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition. Failure to successfully integrate acquired companies and technologies with us could harm our business and operating results. WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY AGAINST CURRENT AND FUTURE COMPETITORS. Our market is intensely competitive and characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving standards. Our competition comes in five principal forms: . direct competition from current or future software vendors such as Business Objects S.A., Crystal Decisions (a subsidiary of Seagate Technology, LLC.), and Brio Technology, Inc.; . indirect competition from vendors of Business Intelligence tools such as Cognos, Inc., MicroStrategy Incorporated and Microsoft that integrate reporting functionality with such tools; . indirect competition from e.Business software vendors such as SAP and Oracle, to the extent they include Information Delivery functionality in their applications; . competition from other e.Business software vendors and Internet development tool vendors; and . competition from the information technology departments of current or potential customers that may develop Information Delivery solutions internally which may be cheaper and more customized than our products. Many of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than us. These competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sales of their products than we may. Also, most current and potential competitors, including companies such as Oracle and Microsoft, have greater name recognition and the ability to leverage a significant installed customer base. These companies could integrate competing Information Delivery software with their products, resulting in a loss of market share for us. We expect additional competition as other established and emerging companies enter the Information Delivery software market and new products and technologies are introduced. Increased competition could result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced gross margins, longer sales cycles and loss of market share, any of which would harm our business, operating results and financial condition. Current and potential competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties, thereby increasing their ability to address the Information Delivery needs of our prospective customers. Also our current or future channel partners may have established in the past, or may in the future, establish cooperative relationships with our current or potential competitors, thereby limiting our ability to sell our products through particular distribution channels. It is possible that new competitors or alliances among current and new competitors may emerge and rapidly gain significant market share. Such competition could harm our ability to obtain revenues from license fees from new or existing customers and service revenues from new or existing customers on terms favorable to us. If we are unable to compete 27 successfully against current and future competitors our business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed. OUR LITIGATION WITH MICROSTRATEGY COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION In August, 2001, a lawsuit was filed in the Virginia Circuit Court for Fairfax County against us and two of our employees by MicroStrategy, Inc. The lawsuit alleges that these employees, who previously worked for MicroStrategy, breached their fiduciary and contractual obligations to MicroStrategy by, among other things, misappropriating trade secrets and confidential information and soliciting MicroStrategy employees. The complaint seeks injunctive relief and damages. Although Actuate believes the lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend this case vigorously the potential effects on our business, operating results and financial condition may include the following: . we could be forced to stop selling our products; . we will incur substantial litigation costs in defense of this lawsuit; . we may be required to indemnify our customers; . we may have to use significant engineering resources to redesign our products as a result of this lawsuit; . we may be required to enter into a licensing agreement with MicroStrategy containing terms that are unfavorable to us; . we will be forced to commit significant engineering and management resources to resolve this lawsuit. IF WE DO NOT RESPOND TO RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES, OUR PRODUCTS COULD BECOME OBSOLETE AND OUR BUSINESS COULD BE SERIOUSLY HARMED. The market for our products is characterized by rapid technological changes, frequent new product introductions and enhancements, changing customer demands and evolving industry standards. Any of these factors can render existing products obsolete and unmarketable. We believe that our future success will depend in large part on our ability to support current and future releases of popular operating systems and computer programming languages, databases and e.Business software applications, to timely develop new products that achieve market acceptance, and to meet an expanding range of customer requirements. If the announcement or introduction of new products by us or our competitors or any change in industry standards causes customers to defer or cancel purchases of existing products, our business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed. As a result of the complexities inherent in Information Delivery, major new products and product enhancements can require long development and testing periods. In addition, customers may delay their purchasing decisions in anticipation of the general availability of new or enhanced versions of our products. As a result, significant delays in the general availability of such new releases or significant problems in the installation or implementation of such new releases could harm our business, operating results and financial condition. If we fail to successfully develop, on a timely and cost effective basis, product enhancements or new products that respond to technological change, evolving industry standards or customer requirements or such new products and product enhancements fail to achieve market acceptance, our business, operating results and financial condition may be harmed. IF WE DO NOT RELEASE NEW PRODUCTS AND ENHANCEMENTS TO EXISTING PRODUCTS IN A TIMELY MANNER OR IF SUCH NEW PRODUCTS AND ENHANCEMENTS FAIL TO ACHIEVE MARKET ACCEPTANCE, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE SERIOUSLY HARMED. We believe that our future success will depend in large part on the success of new products and enhancements to our products that we make generally available. Prior to the release of any new products or enhancements, the products must undergo a long development and testing period. To date, the development and testing of new products and enhancements have taken longer than expected. In the event the development and 28 testing of new products and enhancements continue to take longer than expected, the release of new products and enhancements will be delayed. If we fail to release new products and enhancements in a timely manner, our business, operating results and financial condition may be harmed. In addition, if such new products and enhancements do not achieve market acceptance our business, operating results and financial condition may be harmed. THERE ARE MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONAL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS THAT COULD SERIOUSLY HARM OUR BUSINESS. A substantial portion of Actuate's revenue is derived from international sales. During fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, sales outside North America accounted for 23%, 15% and 14% of our total revenues, respectively. International operations are subject to a number of risks, any of which could harm our business, operating results and financial conditions. These risks include the following: . political and economic instability; . difficulty in managing an organization spread across many countries; . multiple and conflicting tax laws and regulations; . costs of localizing products for foreign countries; . difficulty in hiring employees in foreign countries; . trade laws and business practices favoring local competition; . dependence on local vendors; . compliance with multiple, conflicting and changing government laws and regulations; . longer sales and payment cycles; . import and export restrictions and tariffs; . difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations; . greater difficulty or delay in accounts receivable collection; and . foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We believe that an increasing portion of our revenues and costs will be denominated in foreign currencies. To the extent such denomination in foreign currencies does occur, gains and losses on the conversion to U.S. dollars of accounts receivable, accounts payable and other monetary assets and liabilities arising from international operations may contribute to fluctuations in our results of operations. Although we may from time to time undertake foreign exchange hedging transactions to cover a portion of our foreign currency transaction exposure, we currently do not attempt to cover any foreign currency exposure. If we are not successful in any future foreign exchange hedging transactions that we engage in, our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed. TO MANAGE OUR GROWTH AND EXPANSION, WE NEED TO IMPROVE AND IMPLEMENT OUR INTERNAL SYSTEMS, PROCEDURES AND CONTROLS. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO DO SO SUCCESSFULLY, OUR BUSINESS WOULD BE SERIOUSLY HARMED. Our expansion in the number of employees and the scope of operations over the past few years has placed and will continue to place a significant strain on our management, information systems and resources. Any acquisitions made by us will also put a significant strain on our management, information systems and resources. In addition, we expect that an expansion of our international operations will lead to increased financial and administrative demands associated with managing our international operations and managing an increasing number of relationships with foreign partners and customers and expanded treasury functions to manage foreign currency risks. Our future operating results will also depend on our ability to further develop indirect channels 29 and expand our support organization to accommodate growth in our installed base. If we fail to manage our expansion effectively, our business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed. OUR INABILITY TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN HIGHLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL IN THE FUTURE WOULD SERIOUSLY HARM OUR BUSINESS. Our success depends to a significant degree upon the efforts of certain key management, sales, marketing, customer support and research and development personnel. We believe that our future success will depend in large part upon our continuing ability to attract and retain highly skilled managerial, sales, marketing, customer support and research and development personnel. Like other software companies, we face intense competition for such personnel, and we have experienced and will continue to experience difficulty in recruiting and retaining qualified personnel. This is particularly true in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the employment market for qualified sales, marketing, customer support and research and development personnel can be very competitive. OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CERTAIN KEY PERSONNEL ARE CRITICAL TO OUR BUSINESS AND THESE OFFICERS AND KEY PERSONNEL MAY NOT REMAIN WITH US IN THE FUTURE. Our future success depends upon the continued service of our executive officers and other key engineering, sales, marketing and customer support personnel. None of our officers or key employees is bound by an employment agreement for any specific term. If we lose the service of one or more of our key employees, or if one or more of our executive officers or key employees decide to join a competitor or otherwise compete directly or indirectly with us, this could have a significant adverse effect on our business. THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SOFTWARE INDUSTRY The software industry is experiencing a significant downturn in connection with the decline in general economic conditions, which has resulted in a decrease of the budgets of our customers and potential customers for information technology. This change in economic conditions has resulted in a slowdown of the purchase of Internet based software products and has affected our operating results and financial condition. We expect this economic downturn to continue and, thus, our operating results and financial condition may be below our forecasts and investor expectations and may in the future reflect substantial fluctuations from period to period as a consequence of buying patterns and general economic conditions in the software industry. IF OUR PRODUCT CONTAINS MATERIAL DEFECTS, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE SERIOUSLY HARMED. Software products as complex as those offered by us often contain errors or defects, particularly when first introduced, when new versions or enhancements are released and when configured to individual customer computing systems. We currently have known errors and defects in our products. Despite testing conducted by us, if additional defects and errors are found in current versions, new versions or enhancements of our products after commencement of commercial shipment, this could result in the loss of revenues or a delay in market acceptance. The occurrence of any of these events could seriously harm our business, operating results and financial condition. IF A SUCCESSFUL PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIM IS MADE AGAINST US, OUR BUSINESS WOULD BE SERIOUSLY HARMED. Although license agreements with our customers typically contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential product liability claims, it is possible that such limitation of liability provisions may not be effective as a result of existing or future laws or unfavorable judicial decisions. The sale and support of our products may 30 entail the risk of such claims, which are likely to be substantial in light of the use of our products in business-critical applications. A product liability claim brought against us could seriously harm our business, operating results and financial condition. IF THE PROTECTION OF OUR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS IS INADEQUATE, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE SERIOUSLY HARMED. We have two issued and two pending U.S. patents and we rely primarily on a combination of copyright and trademark laws, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary technology. For example, we license our software pursuant to shrink-wrap or signed license agreements, which impose certain restrictions on licensees' ability to utilize the software. In addition, we seek to avoid disclosure of our intellectual property, including requiring those persons with access to our proprietary information to execute confidentiality agreements with us and by restricting access to our source code. We seek to protect our software, documentation and other written materials under trade secret and copyright laws, which afford only limited protection. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of our products is difficult, and while we are unable to determine the extent to which piracy of our software products exists, software piracy can be expected to be a persistent problem. In addition, the laws of many countries do not protect our proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States. If our means of protecting our proprietary rights is not adequate or our competitors independently develop similar technology, our business could be seriously harmed. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CLAIMS AGAINST US CAN BE COSTLY AND COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF SIGNIFICANT RIGHTS. Third parties may claim that our current or future products infringe such parties' intellectual property rights. We expect Information Delivery software product developers will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products and competitors in our industry segment grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps. Any such claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming to defend, result in costly litigation, divert management's attention and resources, cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. A successful claim of product infringement against us and our failure or inability to license the infringed or similar technology could harm our business, operating results and financial condition. OUR COMMON STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES FOR STOCKHOLDERS. The market price of shares of our common stock has been and is likely to continue to be highly volatile and may be significantly affected by factors such as the following: . changes in the economic and political conditions in the United States and abroad; . actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results; . terrorist attacks or war-time conditions; . announcements of technological innovations; . new products or new contracts announced by us or our competitors; . litigation; . developments with respect to copyrights or proprietary rights; 31 . price and volume fluctuations in the stock market; . conditions and trends in the software and other technology industries; . changes in corporate purchasing of Information Delivery software; . the announcement of mergers or acquisitions; . adoption of new accounting standards affecting the software industry; . changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; and . the purchase or sale of our common stock by "day traders." In addition, following periods of volatility in the market price of a particular company's securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against such company. If we are involved in such litigation, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources and could harm our business, operating results and financial condition. CERTAIN OF OUR CHARTER PROVISIONS AND DELAWARE LAW, MAY PREVENT OR DETER A CHANGE IN CONTROL OF ACTUATE. Actuate's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended and restated (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), and Bylaws, as amended and restated ("Bylaws"), contain certain provisions that may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of Actuate or unsolicited acquisition proposals that a stockholder might consider favorable, including provisions authorizing the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock and eliminating the ability of stockholders to act by written consent. In addition, certain provisions of Delaware law and our stock option plans may also have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of Actuate or unsolicited acquisition proposals. The anti-takeover effect of these provisions may also have an adverse effect on the public trading price of our common stock. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK During fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999 we derived 23%, 15% and 14% of our total revenues, respectively, from sales outside the United States. Approximately 2% of the revenues from our U.S. operations are overseas sales and are denominated in U.S. dollars. Our exposure to market risk on these receivables with respect to fluctuations in the relative value of currencies is limited. However, increases in the value of the U.S. dollar could increase the price of our products so that they become relatively more expensive to customers in the local currency of a particular country and may result in a reduction in sales and profitability in that country. We are also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the financial results of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars in consolidation. As exchange rates vary, these results, when translated, may vary from expectations and adversely impact overall expected profitability. The effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations in fiscal 2001 was not material. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, we invest in highly liquid and high quality debt securities. To minimize the exposure due to adverse shift in the general level of U.S. interest rates we invest in short-term securities that have an average maturity of one year or less. Due to the short-term nature of our investments, we believe that there is no material risk exposure. Therefore, no quantitative tabular disclosures are required. ITEM 8.

F-1 REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS Board of Directors and Stockholders Actuate Corporation We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Actuate Corporation as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Actuate Corporation at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. /s/ ERNST & YOUNG LLP Palo Alto, California January 18, 2002 F-2 ACTUATE CORPORATION CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS (in thousands, except share and per share data)

See accompanying notes. F-6 ACTUATE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business Actuate Corporation (the "Company" or "Actuate") was incorporated on November 16, 1993 in the State of California and reincorporated in the State of Delaware on July 7, 1998. We are a provider of Information Delivery software products and services for e.Business. Information Delivery along with Databases, Content Management Systems and Application Servers, is a critical technology component of an organization's e.Business platform. Our Actuate e.Reporting Suite 5 (Actuate 5) product line allows companies to create, manage and deliver secure formatted content, using operational data from multiple data sources, and to make that business content available on their e.Business Web sites for use by customers, partners and employees. Our products and services are used by our customers to deliver content such as transaction histories, service level information, performance summaries, manufacturing and distribution status and customer account information. Actuate 5 is a scalable, dynamic platform that can be seamlessly integrated into any e.Business Web site and its server-centric architecture provides the building blocks for an Information Delivery environment of any size. Actuate 5's open environment allows developers to create content from virtually any data source and present it in virtually any format required by our customers. Our products have been adopted in a wide variety of industries, including financial services, telecommunications, technology, health care and others and by a wide variety of organizations including Global 2000 companies and e.Business application vendors. We sell our products in North America primarily through our direct sales force and our e.Business Application Partners, who integrate and resell Actuate software to their customers. Outside North America, we sell our products through our direct sales force in the countries in which we have an office and through distributors. Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Actuate and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. During fiscal 1999, we completed the acquisition of Actuate Holding, B.V. ("BV"). During fiscal 2000, we completed the acquisition of Open Software Technology, LLC ("OST") and acquired all the assets and business of EnterpriseSoft. Also during fiscal 2000, we purchased additional shares of Actuate Japan Company Ltd. ("Actuate Japan"); our distributor located in Japan, from its other shareholders and became the majority shareholder. As of December 31, 2001, we have approximately 66.7% of the outstanding voting stock of Actuate Japan. We have consolidated the results of Actuate Japan from the date that we became the majority shareholder. Accumulated losses applicable to the minority shareholders exceed their equity capital in Actuate Japan. This excess loss applicable to the minority shareholders has been charged to us, as the minority shareholders are not obligated to contribute their share of losses exceeding their equity capital. In May 2001, we completed the acquisition of Tidestone Technologies, Inc. ("Tidestone"), a software technology company. These acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. In accordance with the purchase method of accounting, the Consolidated Statements of Operations include these companies' operating results from the date of acquisition. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. On a regular basis, we evaluate estimates, including those related to bad debts, intangible assets, income taxes and restructuring. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. F-7 ACTUATE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) Revenues Revenues from license fees from sales of software products directly to end-user customers or indirect channel partners are recognized as revenues after execution of a non-cancelable signed license agreement or receipt of a definitive purchase order, and shipment of the product, if no vendor obligations remain, there are no uncertainties surrounding product acceptance, the license fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the license fee is considered probable. Probability of collection is based upon the assessment of the customer's financial condition through the review of their current financial statements or credit reports. For follow-on sales to existing customers, prior payment history is also used to evaluate probability of collection. Our products do not require significant customization. The majority of end-user license revenues are derived from end-user customer orders for specific individual products. These types of transactions are recognized as revenues upon shipment of product, assuming that all other revenue recognition criteria are met. Advance payments from end-users, in arrangements in which the end-user customer has the right to future unspecified products, are deferred and recognized as revenues ratably over the period, typically one year, during which the end-user is entitled to receive the products. If the license agreement contains extended payment terms that would indicate that the fee is not fixed or determinable, revenues are recognized as the payments become due, assuming that all other revenue recognition criteria are met. License arrangements with e.Business Application Partners are for specified duration and require that such vendors only license our products to their customers for use with such vendor's application. Furthermore, license arrangements with distributors give such distributors the right to distribute our products to customers headquartered in specified territories. License arrangements with indirect channel partners such as e.Business Application Partners, system integrators and distributors generally take the form of arrangements pursuant to which a license fee is paid to us, which we recognize as revenues when no further obligations remain, provided that the fees are fixed or determinable and collection of the resulting receivables is deemed probable. We have also entered into certain fixed price arrangements in which the contracting entity has the right to the unlimited usage, unspecified future products, and resale of the licensed software for a specified term and pursuant to which license fee revenues are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the license agreement. In certain situations where customers have received payment terms outside of our customary standard terms but within one year, we have recognized revenues upon delivery, provided that we have collected all payments as due under comparable arrangements, without providing concession, in the past. We have not established vendor specific objective evidence of fair value ("VSOE") for license sales and therefore we recognize revenues from arrangements with multiple elements involving software licenses under the residual method as outlined in Statement of Position No. 97.2 "Software Revenue Recognition." To the extent that a discount exists on any of the elements, we follow the residual method and attribute that discount entirely to the delivered elements. Service revenues consist of consulting, training, and related services that we provide to our customers. Revenues from such services are generally recognized when performed. If services are included with a license agreement, amounts related to services are unbundled from the license fee based on VSOE as established by transactions where such services have been sold separately. When we provide a software license and the related maintenance for one bundled price, the fair value of the maintenance, based on the price charged for that element separately, is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the respective agreement. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash deposited with banks and highly liquid, high quality debt securities with maturities at the date of purchase of 90 days or less. All short-term investments are classified as F-8 ACTUATE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) available-for-sale, are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value based on quoted market price, and consist of high quality debt securities with original maturities between 90 days and one year. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk consist principally of marketable investments and accounts receivable. We place our investments with high-credit-quality multiple issuers. We sell to a diverse customer base primarily to customers in the United States. No single customer has accounted for more than 10% of our sales in any period presented. We do not require collateral on sales with credit terms. Revenues for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 are shown net of customer returns of approximately $2.8 million, $2.2 million and $435,000, respectively. Total write-offs of uncollectible accounts receivable were approximately $1.8 million, $299,000 and $117,000 in fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, we added approximately $7.9 million, $3.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively, to our allowances for accounts receivable. There were no significant reversals of allowances during all periods presented. Allowances related to accounts receivable at December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 were $6.2 million, $2.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amount of Actuate's cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and long-term liabilities approximate their respective fair value due to the short timeframe to maturity or payment date. Software Development Costs Software development costs associated with new products and enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility in the form of a working model has been established. To date, the time period between the establishment of technological feasibility and completion of software development has been short, and no significant development costs have been incurred during that period. Accordingly, we have not capitalized any software development costs to date. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which range from two to eight years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life. Intangible Assets Goodwill and other purchased intangibles, including assembled workforces, non-compete agreements, customer lists and trademarks, relate to various acquisitions. These amounts are being amortized over the expected useful life not exceeding four years using the straight-line method. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, gross intangible assets, including goodwill, were $49.6 million and $33.0 million, respectively, and related accumulated amortization was $19.1 million and $8.8 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets In accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", we evaluate long-lived assets, including goodwill and intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate F-9 ACTUATE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable; such calculations to assess impairment would be based on expected undiscounted cash flows attributable to that asset. The amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset. There were no long-lived assets that were considered to be impaired during the periods presented. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs are included in sales and marketing expense and amounted to $400,000, $877,000 and $25,000 in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method whereby deferred tax asset or liability account balances are calculated at the balance sheet date using current tax laws and rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Currency Translation Actuate translates the assets and liabilities of international non-U.S. functional currency subsidiaries into dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the end of the period. Revenues and expenses are translated using rates that approximate those in effect during the period. Gains and losses from currency translation are included in stockholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheet. Currency transaction gains or losses are recognized in current operations and have not been significant to our operating results in any period. Stock Dividends We announced a two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend on November 8, 1999, which was distributed at the close of business on December 2, 1999. On July 12, 2000, we announced another two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend, which was distributed at the close of business on August 14, 2000. All net income (loss) per share amounts, as well as references to common stock and stockholders' equity amounts have been restated as if these stock dividends had occurred as of the earliest period presented. Stock-Based Compensation We grant stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123), we have elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations and to adopt the pro forma disclosure alternative as described in SFAS 123 in accounting for our employee stock option plan (see Note 7). We account for stock awards issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18, (EITF 96-18). Under SFAS 123 and EITF 96-18, stock awards to non-employees are accounted for at their fair value using the Black-Scholes method. Net Income (Loss) Per Share Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock less weighted-average shares subject to repurchase. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and, when dilutive, potential common shares from options using the treasury stock method. F-10 ACTUATE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):
Year ended December 31, ------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 ------- ------- ------- Net income (loss)............................................... $(6,417) $ 5,399 $ 3,886 ======= ======= ======= Basic: Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding.......... 59,424 56,671 55,312 Weighted-average shares subject to repurchase................ (125) (557) (1,386) ------- ------- ------- Shares used in computing basic net income (loss) per share...... 59,299 56,114 53,926 ======= ======= ======= Basic net income (loss) per share............................... $ (0.11) $ 0.10 $ 0.07 ======= ======= ======= Diluted: Shares used above............................................ 59,299 56,114 53,926 Effect of dilutive potential common shares................... -- 8,369 5,974 ------- ------- ------- Shares used in computing diluted net income (loss) per share. 59,299 64,483 59,900 ======= ======= ======= Diluted net income (loss) per share............................. $ (0.11) $ 0.08 $ 0.06 ======= ======= =======
The total number of potential common shares excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share was 3,779,900, nil and nil in fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999. These instruments have been excluded because their effect would be antidilutive. Comprehensive Income (Loss) Other comprehensive income (loss) includes currency translation adjustments that are not included in net income (loss), but rather are recorded directly in stockholders' equity. Total comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss), which has been disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity. Segment Information Actuate is principally engaged in the design, development, marketing and support of Actuate e.Reporting Suite 5. Actuate's chief operating decision maker reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues by geographic region for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, Actuate considers itself to be in a single industry segment, specifically the license, implementation and support of its software application. Actuate evaluates the performance of its geographic regions based on revenues only. Actuate does not assess the performance of its geographic regions on other measures of income or expense, such as depreciation and amortization, operating income or net income. In addition, as Actuate's assets are primarily located in its corporate office in the United States and not allocated to any specific region, Actuate does not produce reports for, or measure the performance of, its geographic regions based on any asset-based metrics. Therefore, geographic information is presented only for revenues in Note 10. Accounting for Derivative Instruments In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument, including certain derivative instruments embedded F-11 ACTUATE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) in other contracts, be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The statement also requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Our adoption of SFAS 133 on January 1, 2001 had no material effect on the financial statements, as we currently do not utilize derivative instruments. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Use of the pooling-of-interest is prohibited. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the new standards. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. We will apply the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning January 1, 2002. However, we are still assessing the financial impact of the new standard. During the first six months of 2002, we will perform the required transitional impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of January 1, 2002 and have not yet determined what the effect of these tests will be on our earnings and financial position. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated retirement costs. We are in the process of assessing the effect of adopting SFAS 143, which will be effective for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2002. In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which supersedes SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." SFAS 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of. However, SFAS 144 retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS 121 for: 1) recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used; and 2) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 144 to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. In November 2001, the staff of the FASB issued an announcement on the topic of "Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out of Pocket Expenses Incurred." This announcement requires companies to characterize reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses incurred as revenue in the income statement. This announcement should be applied in financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2001 and comparative financial statements for prior periods should be reclassified to comply with the guidance in this announcement. We will adopt the policies outlined in the announcement beginning in 2002. We are in the process of assessing the effect of adopting this statement, which will be effective for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2002. Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on the results of operations or shareholders' equity for the years presented. 2. Investment in Actuate Japan In March 1996, we established a joint venture company in Japan with six other corporate partners. We received approximately 8.3% of the equity ownership of Actuate Japan. In June 1999, we purchased shares from F-12 ACTUATE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) an existing shareholder raising our equity ownership to 16.7%. Then in April 2000, we became the majority shareholder when we purchased additional shares from existing shareholders raising our equity position to 66.7%. Goodwill arising on consolidation was $1.5 million, which is being amortized over four years. We have a call option for all of the shares issued to the other investors at a fixed price indicated in the agreement that began increasing each year after March 1999. The price to purchase the remaining portion of shares (approximately 33.3%) of Actuate Japan was approximately $1.2 million as of December 31, 2001 and will be approximately $1.3 million in April 2003, based on current exchange rates. The other corporate partners also have the right to sell us all of their outstanding shares at the same price as the call option. 3. Acquisitions In June 1999, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of BV, the parent company of our distributors based in France, Germany and the United Kingdom, for cash. The total purchase price was $9.6 million, representing a payment of $6.0 million in cash and the assumption of net liabilities of $3.6 million, which includes direct merger costs of approximately $300,000. The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. The results of operations of BV and the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included in our financial statements from the date of acquisition. Actuate has allocated the excess purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets acquired to the following identifiable intangible assets: $8.6 million to customer base, $900,000 to assembled workforce and $100,000 to goodwill. Intangible assets and goodwill arising from the acquisition are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods not exceeding four years. On February 29, 2000, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of OST, a software consulting firm. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and accordingly, the purchased price was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Since February 29, 2000, OST's results of operations have been included in Actuate's Consolidated Statements of Operations. The total purchase price was $13.1 million, consisting of $7.4 million in cash, 102,564 shares of Actuate's common stock with a fair value of approximately $3.2 million, future cash payments of $2.0 million to be paid on the second anniversary of the acquisition date and other acquisition related expenses of approximately $500,000. Of the total purchase price, approximately $100,000 has been allocated to net tangible assets acquired, and the remainder was allocated to intangible assets, including assembled workforce of $2.2 million, a non-compete agreement of $100,000 and goodwill of $10.7 million. Intangible assets and goodwill arising from the acquisition are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods not exceeding four years. On March 16, 2000, we purchased all the assets and business of EnterpriseSoft for $8.8 million, consisting of $2.5 million in cash and 200,000 shares of Actuate's common stock with a fair value of approximately $6.3 million. The results of operations of EnterpriseSoft and the estimated fair value of assets acquired are included in our financial statements from the date of acquisition. Actuate has allocated the excess purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets acquired to the following identifiable intangible assets: $86,000 to assembled workforce, $30,000 to non-compete agreement, $10,000 to completed technology, and $8.6 million to goodwill. Goodwill and other intangibles arising from the acquisition are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods not exceeding four years. On May 30, 2001, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Tidestone, a software technology company. The results of operations of Tidestone are included in our financial statements from the date of acquisition. The total purchase consideration was $16.7 million, consisting of 857,594 shares of our common stock and assumed options with a fair market value of approximately $10.6 million, net assumed liabilities of $5.9 million and other F-13 ACTUATE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) acquisition-related expenses of $164,000. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, with the purchase price being allocated to developed technology--$3.6 million, customer list--$2.0 million, assembled workforce--$900,000, non-compete agreements--$900,000, trademarks--$700,000 and goodwill--$8.6 million. In addition, $232,000 of the purchase consideration was allocated to deferred compensation, which primarily represents the pro-rata portion of the intrinsic value of the unvested options at the date of acquisition. Goodwill and other intangibles arising from the acquisition are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods not exceeding four years. The following unaudited pro forma financial information assumes the Tidestone acquisition occurred at the beginning of the periods in which the acquisition took place and, for comparative purposes, at the beginning of the immediately preceding year. These results have been prepared for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the acquisition been made as discussed above. In addition, they are not intended to be a projection of future results (in thousands, except per share data):
Year Ended December 31, ----------------------- 2001 2000 -------- -------- (unaudited) Revenues........................... $126,675 $112,193 Net income (loss).................. $(10,787) $ 614 Diluted net income (loss) per share $ (0.18) $ 0.01
4. Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments The following table summarizes the amortized cost, which approximates the fair value of our investments (in thousands):
December 31, --------------- 2001 2000 ------- ------- Corporate and municipal obligations and deposits $33,878 $11,932 ======= ======= Included in cash and cash equivalents........... $28,731 $11,932 Included in short-term investments.............. 5,147 -- ------- ------- Total........................................ $33,878 $11,932 ======= =======

F-14 ACTUATE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) Construction in progress consists primarily of furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements for the additional facility leased in December 2000 (see Note 6 below). The construction is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2002 and depreciation/amortization will begin when the facility is available for use. 6. Commitments Operating Lease Commitments Actuate leases its headquarter facilities under noncancelable operating leases expiring in March 2008. In December 2000, we entered into a ten-year office building lease agreement for an additional office building adjacent to our headquarters in South San Francisco, California. In conjunction with the signing of the office building lease, we provided the landlord with a letter of credit in the amount of $1.6 million as security deposit. Rent expense for facilities under operating leases was approximately $7.0 million in fiscal 2001, $2.6 million in fiscal 2000 and $1.1 million in fiscal 1999. Aggregate minimum lease commitments under all operating leases are as follows (in thousands):
Payments Due by Fiscal Year Period ----------- -------- 2002....... $ 5,773 2003....... 5,552 2004....... 5,538 2005....... 5,663 2006....... 5,813 Thereafter. 18,336 ------- $46,675 =======
7. Stockholders' Equity Preferred Stock Under the terms of the certificate of incorporation, the board of directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, to issue the preferred stock in one or more series. Each series shall have the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, such as dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the right to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series, as the board of directors shall determine. The board of directors may issue preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Actuate and could adversely affect the market price of the common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock. We currently have no plans to issue any of the preferred stock. Stock Option Plans In May 1994, our board of directors adopted the 1994 Stock Option Plan (the "Predecessor Plan") for issuance of common stock to employees, consultants and nonemployee directors. In May 1998, the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan (the "1998 Plan") was adopted by the board of directors and approved by the stockholders in July 1998 as the successor to the Predecessor Plan. Employees, consultants and directors are eligible for awards under the 1998 Plan. Outstanding options under the Predecessor Plan have been incorporated into the 1998 Plan and no further option grants will be made under the Predecessor Plan. Initially, a total of 5,200,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 1998 Plan. As of December 31, 2001, there were options to purchase F-15 ACTUATE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) 1,330,308 shares outstanding under the Predecessor Plan. Except as otherwise noted, options outstanding under the Predecessor Plan are subject to substantially the same terms as described below for option awards under the 1998 Plan. As of January 1 of each year, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 1998 Plan will be increased automatically by the lesser of (i) 5% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding or (ii) 2,800,000 shares. In addition to the 1998 Plan, the board of directors adopted the 2001 Supplemental Stock Plan (the "2001 Plan") in January 2001. A total of 2,700,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2001 Plan. Employees and consultants are eligible for awards under the 2001 Plan. Members of the board of directors and officers of Actuate are not eligible to receive awards under the 2001 Plan. The 1998 Plan and the 2001 Plan are collectively known as "the Plans". Under the 1998 Plan, eligible participants may be awarded options to purchase shares of common stock, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted shares or stock units (collectively, the "Awards"). Options under the 1998 Plan may be incentive stock options designed to satisfy Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") or nonstatutory stock options not designed to meet such requirements. Under the 2001 Plan, eligible participants may be awarded options to purchase shares of common stock and restricted shares only. All options granted under the 2001 Plan are nonstatutory stock options. If restricted shares or shares issued upon the exercise of options granted under the Plans or the Predecessor Plan are forfeited, then such shares will again become available for awards under the Plans. If stock units, options or SARs granted under the 1998 Plan or the Predecessor Plan are forfeited or terminated for any other reason before being exercised, then the corresponding shares will again become available for awards under the 1998 Plan. The exercise price for nonstatutory and incentive stock options granted under the Plans may not be less than 85% or 100%, respectively, of the fair market value of the common stock on the option grant date. The Board may amend or terminate the Plans at any time. Amendments may be subject to stockholder approval to the extent required by applicable laws. Options granted under the Predecessor Plan are generally exercisable upon grant, subject to repurchase rights by the Company until vested. Options granted under the Plans are exercisable when vested. Shares generally vest at the rate of 20% or 25% after one year from the date of grant and the remaining balance vesting monthly over the next four or three years. Upon a change in control, an Award will become fully vested as to all shares subject to such Award if such Award is not assumed by the surviving corporation or its parent and the surviving corporation or its parent does not substitute such Award with another award of substantially the same terms. In the event of an involuntary termination of a participant within 12 months following a change in control, the vesting of an Award will accelerate in full. Options granted under the Predecessor Plan become fully vested upon a change in control unless assumed or replaced with a comparable option by the acquiring entity. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, 87,367 and 282,682 shares of common stock issued under the Predecessor Plan were subject to repurchase by the Company, respectively. All outstanding repurchase rights under the Plans shall terminate automatically upon the occurrence of any merger, consolidation, or disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, except to the extent the repurchase rights are expressly assigned to the successor corporation. As of December 31, 2001, 1,811,515 shares of common stock were reserved and available for future grants under the Plans and the Predecessor Plan. 1998 Non-Employee Directors Option Plan The 1998 Non-Employee Directors Option Plan (the "Directors Option Plan") was adopted by the board of directors in May 1998, and approved by the stockholders in July 1998. Under the Directors Option Plan, non-employee members of the Board of Directors are eligible for automatic option grants. 800,000 shares of common stock have been authorized for issuance under the Directors Option Plan. Each individual who first joins the F-16 ACTUATE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) board as a non-employee director, whether through election or appointment, will receive at that time an automatic option grant for 80,000 shares of common stock. With respect to the initial automatic option grant, the option will become exercisable as to 25% of the shares after one year of board service, with the balance of the shares becoming exercisable ratably in 36 monthly installments over the remaining period of optionee's board service. At each annual stockholders meeting beginning in fiscal 1999, each current non-employee director will automatically be granted a stock option to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock, whether or not he or she is standing for re-election at that particular meeting, which will become fully exercisable on the first anniversary of such meeting. Each option will have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the automatic grant date and a maximum term of ten years, subject to earlier termination following the optionee's cessation of Board service. The Board may amend or modify the Directors Option Plan at any time. The Directors Option Plan will terminate on May 27, 2008, unless terminated sooner by the board. However, vesting will automatically accelerate in full upon (i) an acquisition of Actuate by merger, consolidation or asset sale, (ii) a tender offer for more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock or proxy contest for Board membership or (iii) the death or disability of the optionee while serving as a Board member. As of December 31, 2001, 551,258 shares of common stock were reserved and available for future grants under the Directors Option Plan. Stock Option Exchange Program On May 1, 2001, we implemented a stock option exchange program, whereby eligible employees could exchange their outstanding options to purchase shares of our common stock with an exercise price per share of $15.00 or more granted under the Predecessor Plan, the 1998 Plan and the 2001 Plan. We implemented this exchange program because a considerable number of employees had stock options, whether or not they were currently exercisable, that were priced significantly above the trading prices. We believed these options were unlikely to be exercised in the foreseeable future. The exchange program was voluntary and allowed employees to choose whether to keep their current stock options at their current exercise price, or to rescind those options in exchange for a new option for the same number of shares to be granted on December 3, 2001. The new options have terms and conditions that are substantially the same as those of the cancelled options. Members of our board of directors and officers were not eligible for the exchange program. The total number of shares exchanged under this stock option exchange program was 2,230,550. The average price per share of the options cancelled was $26.32 and the new option price granted under this exchange program was $4.41 per share.

At December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, 5,842,443, 2,273,401 and 1,462,796 outstanding options were vested, respectively. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, 3,209,571 and 1,516,614 options were exercisable. 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan The 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan") was adopted by the board of directors in May 1998, and approved by the stockholders in July 1998. A total of 1,000,000 shares of common stock were F-18 ACTUATE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) initially reserved for issuance under the Purchase Plan. As of January 1 of each year, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Purchase Plan will be automatically increased by 600,000 shares. The Purchase Plan is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code. Each calendar year, two overlapping 24-month offering periods will commence on February 1 and August 1. Each offering period contains four six-month accumulation periods, with purchases occurring at the end of each six-month accumulation period. The Purchase Plan permits each eligible employee to purchase common stock through payroll deductions, which may not exceed 15% of an employee's cash compensation. No more than 4,000 shares may be purchased by any individual on any accumulation date. The price of each share of common stock purchased under the Purchase Plan will be 85% of the lower of (i) the fair market value per share of common stock on the date immediately prior to the first date of the applicable offering period or (ii) the date at the end of the applicable accumulation period. Employees may end their participation in the Purchase Plan at any time during the accumulation period, and participation ends automatically upon termination of employment with us. As of December 31, 2001, 1,498,827 shares had been purchased under the Purchase Plan. As of December 31, 2001, 1,301,173 shares of common stock were reserved and available for future issuance under the Purchase Plan. Pro Forma Information We have elected to follow APB 25 and related interpretations in accounting for our employee stock options because, as discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for under SFAS 123 requires use of option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of our employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no compensation expense is recognized. Pursuant to SFAS 123, we are required to disclose the pro forma effects on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share data as if we had elected to use the fair value approach to account for all of our employee stock-based compensation plans. Had compensation cost for our plans been determined consistent with the fair value approach enumerated in SFAS 123, our net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 would have been as indicated below (in thousands, except per share data):
Year ended December 31, --------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 -------- -------- ------- Net income (loss) (in thousands): As reported...................... $ (6,417) $ 5,399 $ 3,866 Pro forma........................ $(49,170) $(46,077) $(1,940) Basic net income (loss) per share: As reported...................... $ (0.11) $ 0.10 $ 0.07 Pro forma........................ $ (0.83) $ (0.82) $ (0.04) Diluted net income (loss) per share: As reported...................... $ (0.11) $ 0.08 $ 0.06 Pro forma........................ $ (0.83) $ (0.82) $ (0.04)
These pro forma amounts may not be representative of the effects on pro forma net income (loss) for future years as options vest over several years and additional awards may be made in subsequent years. F-19 ACTUATE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) The weighted-average deemed fair value of stock options granted was $8.33 in fiscal 2001, $19.15 in fiscal 2000 and $6.81 in fiscal 1999. The fair value has been estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
Year ended December 31, ---------------------- 2001 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- Dividends............... 0% 0% 0% Risk-free interest rate. 3.62% 5.96% 5.91% Expected life (in years) 3.0 3.0 3.0 Expected volatility..... 143% 118% 87%
During fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, we issued 449,851 shares, 604,576 shares and 444,400 shares, respectively, under the Purchase Plan. The weighted-average deemed fair value of employees' stock purchase rights under the Purchase Plan during fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $9.93, $4.15 and $2.40, respectively. The fair value of the purchase rights granted in fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 3.62%, 5.96% and 5.91% for fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively; expected dividend yield of zero percent and expected life of six months for fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999; and expected volatility of 143%, 118% and 87% for fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Stock Repurchase Program On September 19, 2001, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $6.0 million of our common stock. As of December 31, 2001, we have repurchased 430,000 shares or $1.8 million worth of common stock under this program. 8. Restructuring Costs During the second and third quarter of fiscal 2001, we implemented restructuring actions that resulted in aggregate charges of $859,000. The restructuring costs consisted entirely of severance payments, payroll taxes and extended medical benefits. The restructuring plan resulted in the elimination of approximately 15% of our worldwide workforce. As of December 31, 2001, we had eliminated 114 positions across all levels and functions. During the year, we paid $782,000 in cash and we expect that our remaining accrual of $77,000 will be paid in the first calendar quarter of fiscal 2002. Our rent expenses for fiscal 2001 included approximately $2.3 million in facility expenses for a building currently unoccupied. We continue to evaluate our plans for this building and our other facilities. If we reach a decision to abandon any of these facilities, we may have to accrue significant charges for these payments due under remaining non cancelable lease terms net of anticipated sub-lease income, and for the write-down in leasehold improvements and construction in progress. Such charges may be material and may involve significant use of cash if we chose to pay a settlement fee to exit any abandoned facility. F-20 ACTUATE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) 9. Income Taxes The provision for income taxes consists of the following (in thousands):
Year ended December 31, ----------------------- 2001 2000 1999 ------ ------ ---- Federal: Current................ $2,400 $2,926 $437 Deferred...............

The tax benefits associated with exercises of stock options reduced taxes currently payable as shown above by $2.6 million, $3.8 million and $59,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Such benefits were credited to additional paid-in-capital when realized. The income (loss) before income taxes for foreign operations was $(811,000), $1.3 million and $(1.9) million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The difference between the provision for income taxes and the amount computed by applying the federal statutory rate (35 percent) to income before taxes is explained below (in thousands):
Year ended December 31, ------------------------ 2001 2000 1999 ------- ------ ------- Income taxes at federal statutory rate $(1,379) $2,796 $ 1,552 Non-deductible goodwill............... 1,838 1,090 525 Non-deductible expense................ 52 106 -- Operating loss not utilized (utilized) 3,384 (241) (1,600) State tax, net of federal benefit..... 165 209 73 Tax credits...........................

F-21 ACTUATE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) Significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities for federal and states are as follows (in thousands):
December 31, ---------------- 2001 2000 ------- ------- Deferred Tax Assets Net operating loss carryforward.......................... $ 5,300 $ 3,954 Research credit carryforward............................. 1,512 1,000 Capitalized research and development..................... 214 421 Accruals and allowances not currently deductible for tax purposes............................................... 2,963 2,323 ------- ------- Total deferred tax assets................................ 9,989 7,698 Valuation allowance...................................... (8,790) (6,499) ------- ------- Net deferred tax assets.................................. $ 1,199 $ 1,199 ======= ======= Deferred Tax Liabilities Acquired intangible assets............................... $(1,529) $ -- ======= =======
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not. The net valuation allowance increased by $2.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2001 and decreased by $39,000 during the year ended December 31, 2000. As of December 31, 2001, approximately $5.8 million of the valuation allowances reflected above relates to the tax benefits of stock option deductions, which will be credited to additional paid in capital when realized. As of December 31, 2001 Actuate had net operating loss carryforwards for federal tax purposes of approximately $11.7 million. Actuate also had federal research and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $1.5 million. The federal and state operating loss carryforwards will expire at various dates beginning in year 2011 through 2021, respectively, if not utilized. Utilization of the net operating losses and tax credits may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and tax credits before utilization. 10. Geographic Information Our primary operations are located in the United States. Revenues from international sources relate to export sales, primarily to Europe and Japan. Our revenues by geographic area are as follows (in thousands):
Year ended December 31, ------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 -------- -------- ------- Revenues: North America........... $ 96,116 $ 91,329 $40,229 Europe.................. 22,848 12,500 4,868 Asia Pacific and others. 6,064 3,435 1,684 -------- -------- ------- Total............... $125,028 $107,264 $46,781 ======== ======== =======
No single customer has accounted for 10% or more of total revenues in fiscal 2001, 2000 or 1999. F-22 ACTUATE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) 11. Contingencies In August, 2001, a lawsuit was filed in the Virginia Circuit Court for Fairfax County against us and two of our employees by MicroStrategy, Inc. The lawsuit alleges that these employees, who previously worked for MicroStrategy, breached their fiduciary and contractual obligations to MicroStrategy by, among other things, misappropriating trade secrets and confidential information and soliciting MicroStrategy employees. The complaint seeks injunctive relief and damages. We believe the lawsuit is without merit and intend to defend this case vigorously. We are engaged in certain legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe we have adequate legal defenses and believe that the ultimate outcome of these actions will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations, although there can be no assurance as to the outcome of such litigation. 12.
