NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and are consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. These financial statements are unaudited and in the opinion of management, include all necessary adjustments for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements. Despite the Company’s best effort to make these good faith estimates and assumptions, actual results may differ. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

     These interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations, which allow certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements, to be condensed or omitted. As a result, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

2. Income (Loss) Per Share

     Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding unvested restricted stock. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the sum of weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the number of potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period, if dilutive. Potential dilutive common shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, restricted stock not yet vested, and shares issuable resulting from withholdings associated with the Company’s employee stock purchase plan, using the treasury stock method.

     The following table sets forth the computation of basic income (loss) per share and diluted income (loss) per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

                                     
        Three Months Ended September 30,   Nine Months Ended September 30,
        2003   2002   2003   2002
       
 
 
 
Numerator:
                               
 
Net income (loss)
  $ (7,345 )   $ 44,615     $ 67,668     $ 125,179  
 
 
   
     
     
     
 
Denominator:
                               
 
Denominator for basic income (loss) per share - Weighted average shares outstanding
    357,289       312,214       329,511       310,231  
   
Employee stock options and other
          3,153       4,162       10,829  
 
   
     
     
     
 
 
Denominator for diluted income (loss) per share - Weighted average shares outstanding, assuming exercise of potential common shares
    357,289       315,367       333,673       321,060  
 
   
     
     
     
 
Basic income (loss) per share
  $ (0.02 )   $ 0.14     $ 0.21     $ 0.40  
Diluted income (loss) per share
  $ (0.02 )   $ 0.14     $ 0.20     $ 0.39  

     The following table sets forth the potential common shares that were excluded from the diluted income (loss) per share computations because the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares during the period or were otherwise not dilutive (in millions):

Total shares excluded
    88.7       52.8       45.5       25.5  

     The weighted average exercise prices of the employee stock options that are antidilutive for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were $21.98 and $26.69 per share, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were $28.72 and $33.29 per share, respectively.

     On October 27, 2003, the Company implemented a stock repurchase program in which up to $350 million of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, is eligible to be repurchased by the Company from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated purchases or otherwise, depending on market prices and other conditions. As of November 10, 2003, the Company had repurchased approximately 12 million shares of its common stock for $253.4 million.

3. Stock-Based Compensation

     The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB Opinion No. 25). The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and earnings per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS 123), to stock-based employee compensation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands, except per share amounts).

4. Comprehensive Income (Loss)

     Comprehensive income (loss) primarily includes unrealized gains or losses on investments, mark-to-market adjustments on interest rate swap transactions, and foreign currency translation adjustments, which are reflected as a component of stockholders’ equity. The components of comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, were as follows (in thousands):

5. Derivative Financial Instruments

     Derivative financial instruments are only utilized by the Company to reduce foreign currency exchange and interest rate risks. The Company does not hold any derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts

     The Company has a foreign exchange hedging program principally designed to mitigate the potential impact due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Forward exchange contracts are primarily used to hedge foreign currency exposures and generally have terms of two months or less. The derivatives used in the foreign exchange hedging program are not designated as cash flow or fair value hedges under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133), as amended. These contracts are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value in “Accrued liabilities.” Changes in fair value of the contracts and the amounts being hedged are included in “Other income, net.”

     During the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company recorded net foreign currency transaction losses of $0.7 million and gains of $0.3 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company recorded net foreign currency transaction losses of $1.8 million and gains of $2.8 million, respectively. At September 30, 2003, each of the foreign exchange contracts matured within 60 days and had a book value that approximated fair value. Neither the cost nor the fair value of these forward foreign exchange contracts was material at September 30, 2003.

Interest Rate Swap Transactions

     The Company used interest rate swap transactions to manage its exposure to interest rate changes on synthetic lease obligations related to certain of its headquarters facilities located in Pleasanton, California. The swaps had an aggregate notional principal amount of $175.0 million and matured at various dates in 2003, consistent with the expiration of the synthetic leases. Under the swap agreements, the Company received a variable interest rate based on the three month LIBOR rate and paid a weighted average fixed interest rate of 6.8%. The swaps were designated under SFAS 133 as hedges against changes in the amount of future cash flows. In February 2003, the Company exercised its option under a synthetic lease agreement to purchase certain of its headquarters facilities located in Pleasanton, California for $70.0 million, and concurrently, swaps with an aggregate notional principal amount of $70.0 million matured. On June 30, 2003, the Company exercised its option under a synthetic lease agreement to purchase certain of its headquarters facilities located in Pleasanton, California for $105.0 million. As a result of this transaction, the Company terminated its remaining interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional principal amount of $105.0 million resulting in a pretax charge of $1.4 million to “Other income, net.” Included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” at March 31, 2003 was a $1.8 million unrealized loss (after-tax) related to these interest rate swaps. In the second quarter of 2003, $0.9 million (after-tax) was reclassified from other comprehensive income into earnings by making scheduled swap payments and $0.9 million (after-tax) was recognized as a realized loss that was reclassified from other comprehensive income into earnings upon the termination of the remaining interest rate swap agreements.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

     The Company does not have a significant concentration of credit or operating risk in any one investment, industry or geographic region within or outside of the United States.

6. Restructuring Reserves

     During the third quarter of 2003, in connection with the acquisition of J.D. Edwards & Company (“J.D. Edwards”), management approved and initiated plans to restructure the operations of the Company to eliminate certain duplicative activities and reduce the Company’s cost structure. Consequently, the Company recorded approximately $8.8 million of costs of which $5.6 million relates to employee severance, $2.2 million relates to acquisition related employee retention, and $1.0 million relates to contract terminations. These costs are accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (SFAS 146) and have been included as a charge to the results of operations in “Restructuring, acquisition and other charges.” As a result of the acquisition of J.D. Edwards, the Company recorded approximately $88.5 million of restructuring costs in connection with exiting certain pre-acquisition activities of J.D. Edwards including severance costs, change in control payments, costs of vacating duplicate facilities, contract termination costs, and other costs. Change in control payments are made to employees covered by a plan maintained by J.D. Edwards and subsequently assumed by PeopleSoft upon the completion of the merger. That change in control plan provides for specified severance and other change in control-related benefits to participants in the plan. The plan covered 197 senior management employees. Terminated individuals who will receive severance and change in control payments are primarily general and administrative, consulting, and sales and marketing employees. And accordingly, these costs have been recognized as a liability assumed in the purchase business combination. Future cash payments related to the restructuring reserves for future severance payments are expected to be made through July 2004.

     During the second quarter of 2003, the Company recorded pretax restructuring charges of $13.8 million. The $13.8 million of restructuring charges are included in “Restructuring, acquisition and other charges” and consisted of $4.6 million for employee severance, $7.5 million for the fair value of lease obligations associated with the closure of an office facility and $1.7 million for the impairment of related leasehold improvements. These costs are accounted for under SFAS 146.

     The restructuring charges recorded in the third quarter are based on the Company’s restructuring plans that have been committed to by management and are subject to refinement. Changes to the estimates of executing the currently approved plans of restructuring the pre-acquisition J.D. Edwards operations will be recorded as an adjustment to goodwill and any changes to the estimated costs of restructuring the pre-acquisition PeopleSoft operations will be reflected in the Company’s results of operations.

     Approximately $7.5 million of the third quarter restructuring costs accounted for under SFAS 146 is a cash obligation. Approximately $88.3 million of third quarter restructuring costs related to exiting certain pre-acquisition activities of J.D. Edwards is a cash obligation. These restructuring costs are expected to be funded through operating cash flow.

     The following table sets forth the activity in the Company’s restructuring reserves, accounted for under SFAS 146, for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, which are included in “Accrued liabilities” (in thousands).

Future cash contract termination payments are expected to be made through August 2007. Future cash payments related to facilities obligations are expected to be made through January 2008.

7. Products and Service Warranty Reserve

     The Company provides for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims, provided that it is both probable that a potential liability exists and that the amount can be reasonably estimated. Additional information may become available in the future which may result in changes to the originally estimated liability. In addition, if estimated claims are settled for amounts differing from the Company’s estimates, or if the estimated value of warranty claims were to increase or decrease, revisions to the estimated warranty liability may be required and warranty expense may change from current levels.

     The following table sets forth the activity in the Company’s product and service warranty reserve, which is included in “Accrued liabilities,” for the three months ended September 30, 2003 (in thousands):

8. Business Combinations

     Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger with J.D. Edwards dated June 16, 2003, the Company acquired approximately 85% of the outstanding stock of J.D. Edwards on July 18, 2003 pursuant to an exchange offer and the remaining shares on August 29, 2003 pursuant to a merger. J.D. Edwards results have been included in the Company’s results since July 18, 2003, and minority interest in net income has been recorded from July 18, 2003 through August 29, 2003.

     J.D. Edwards offers enterprise software as well as consulting, education and support services. The Company’s board of directors approved the offer and the merger and determined that the offer and the merger would provide the Company with increased breadth and depth across the Company’s products, market segments and industry coverage. The Company’s board determined that J.D. Edwards’ expertise in manufacturing and distribution applications would strengthen the Company’s enterprise application suite. In addition, the board determined that J.D. Edwards mid-market focused applications and AS/400 based solutions would be additive to the Company’s Internet-based enterprise application suite.

     In the exchange offer, holders of J.D. Edwards common stock were entitled to make an election to tender their shares for cash or shares of PeopleSoft stock and such holders were entitled to receive cash, stock, or a combination of cash and stock, in each case having a value, on a per share basis of $7.05 plus 0.43 of a share of the Company’s common stock, allocated by prorating cash and shares available in the exchange offer among the elections made by the holders. At the completion of the acquisition, a total of 124,108,566 shares of J.D. Edwards common stock were tendered and accepted for exchange by PeopleSoft.

     The Company exchanged options held by J.D. Edwards employees with PeopleSoft options at a rate of 0.43 PeopleSoft options per J.D. Edwards option. Each exchanged PeopleSoft option retained the same vesting characteristics as the J.D. Edwards option it replaced and each J.D. Edwards option holder will receive $7.05 per option upon exercise.

10


 

     The aggregate purchase price was approximately $2 billion, which consisted of approximately $875 million in cash, $962 million in PeopleSoft common stock and options, $88.5 million in restructuring costs (see footnote 6) and $27.5 million in deal costs and other incurred liabilities, which primarily consist of fees paid for legal, accounting and financial advisory services. A total of 53,312,015 PeopleSoft shares were issued in the transaction. The value of the stock issued to tendering J.D. Edwards shareholders was based upon the average of the closing prices of one share of the Company’s common stock during the five trading days ending June 18, 2003, which was $17.22. The fair value of the Company’s stock-based awards to employees was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the stock-based awards to employees was estimated assuming no expected dividends and the following weighted-average assumptions:

         
Expected life (in years)
    1.90  
Expected volatility
    0.7468  
Risk free interest rate
    1.86 %

     The intrinsic value allocated to the unvested J.D. Edwards options assumed in the exchange was approximately $6.7 million and has been recorded as deferred compensation in the purchase price allocation. Option holders having options with strike prices of $7.05 (J.D. Edwards pre-merger price) or less were given 0.43 shares of the Company’s common stock plus $7.05 less the exercise price and any applicable taxes, in order to retire these options. Approximately 5.0 million of the approximately 8.4 million options issued are fully vested.

     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations,” the Company allocated the purchase price to the tangible assets, deferred compensation, liabilities and intangible assets acquired, as well as in-process research and development, based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over the fair values was recorded as goodwill. The fair value assigned to intangible assets acquired was based on estimates and assumptions determined by management. The assignment of goodwill to the Company’s reportable segments for this acquisition has not yet been completed. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill and purchased intangibles with indefinite lives acquired after June 30, 2001 are not amortized but will be reviewed periodically for impairment. Purchased intangibles with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives. The total purchase price has initially been allocated as follows (in thousands):

           
Current assets
  $ 545,984  
Property and equipment
    75,349  
Capitalized software
    226,300

    (5,142 )
Long term deferred income taxes
    (129,289 )
 
   
 
Total Purchase Price
  $ 1,952,990  
 
   
 

     The purchase price allocation is preliminary and a final determination of required purchase accounting adjustments will be made upon the completion of a final analysis of the total purchase cost primarily related to estimating involuntary termination and facility related costs.

     In performing this preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company considered, among other factors, its intention for future use of the acquired assets, analyses of historical financial performance and estimates of future performance of J.D. Edwards’ products. The fair value of intangible assets was primarily based on the income approach. The royalty savings approach and the cost approach were also utilized when appropriate. The rates utilized to discount the net cash flows to their present values were based upon the Company’s weighted average cost of capital and range from 12% to 14%. These discount rates were determined after consideration of the Company’s rate of return on debt capital and equity, the weighted average return on invested capital and the risk associated with achieving forecasted sales related to the technology and assets acquired from J.D. Edwards. At September 30, 2003, identifiable intangible assets purchased in the J. D. Edwards acquisition consist of the following (in thousands, except for useful life):

     In-process research and development (“IPR&D”) of $14.5 million was expensed as “Restructuring, acquisition and other charges” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations because the purchased research and development had no alternative uses and had not reached technological feasibility. Four in-process research and development projects were identified relating to the JDE 5 product line. Two of the projects relate to enterprise resource planning software and have a value of approximately $8.9 million. The third project relates to customer relationship management software and has a value of approximately $3.2 million. The fourth project relates to technology designed to enhance the functionality of enterprise resource planning software and has a value of approximately $2.4 million. The value assigned to IPR&D was determined utilizing the income approach by segregating cash flow projections related to in process projects. The stage of completion of each in process project was estimated to determine the discount rate to be applied to the valuation of the in process technology. Based upon the level of completion and the risk associated with in process technology, a discount rate of 25% was deemed appropriate for valuing IPR&D.

Pro Forma Financial Information

     The unaudited financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations of PeopleSoft and J.D. Edwards, on a pro forma basis, as though the companies had been combined as of the beginning of each period presented.

9.     Oracle’s Unsolicited Tender Offer for PeopleSoft’s Common Stock and Customer Assurance Program

Unsolicited Tender Offer for PeopleSoft’s Common Stock

     On June 6, 2003, Oracle Corporation ("Oracle") announced that it intended to commence an unsolicited cash tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of PeopleSoft for $16.00 per share, or approximately $5.1 billion in the aggregate (the “Oracle Offer”). The tender offer was formally commenced June 9, 2003, and on June 18, 2003 Oracle amended the offer to increase the purchase price $16.00 to $19.50 per share.

     The Board of Directors of the Company has determined that the Oracle Offer is not in the best interests of the stockholders and unanimously recommended that the stockholders reject the Oracle Offer and not tender their shares to Oracle for purchase. The expiration of the Oracle Offer is currently December 31, 2003.

     See Note  10, “Commitments and Contingencies” for information about litigation instituted by the Company and others related to the Oracle Offer.

Customer Assurance Program

     In response to Oracle’s public statements about its intent to discontinue the Company's products, and to minimize a potential loss of business during the Oracle Offer, the Company implemented a customer assurance program. This program incorporates a contingent change in control provision to its standard perpetual licensing arrangement. That provision provides customers purchasing application licenses with financial protection in the event that an acquirer discontinues or reduces (or with respect to certain contracts, announces the intention to discontinue or reduce) the licensing, development or support of PeopleSoft applications within a specified period after an acquisition, as defined in the program terms. That financial protection is in the form of a payment generally equal to two to five times the total arrangement fees. The multiple increases as the arrangement fees increase and will be generally paid provided the following events occur:

    either within one year or two years from the contract effective date, the Company is acquired or merged, and the Company is not the acquirer, and
 
    either within two or four years from the contract effective date, the acquiring company announces a) its intention to discontinue, or discontinues support services before the end of the normal support term as defined by the Company’s standard policies, or b) announces its intention to discontinue licensing PeopleSoft products to new customers, or c) announces its intention not to, or does not, provide updates or new releases for supportable products for a specified period; and
 
    the customer requests the payment in writing by a specified date and the customer has timely paid for support services in accordance with the terms of the customer’s agreement with the Company.

     The terms available under certain contracts also included additional payment triggers after an acquisition, including:
   
  a) a reduction or the announced intention to reduce the amount of money spent to develop updates for the supportable modules or provide support services below the level spent by the Company in the 12 months preceding the acquisition, or
 
  b) a reduction or the announced intention to reduce or limit the ability of the supportable modules to integrate or operate with third party products such as databases, software, products, and technologies.

     Customers retain rights to the licensed products whether or not the customer assurance program’s payments are triggered. No customer is entitled to a refund of arrangement fees paid under the customer’s contract with the Company, but the customer would be entitled to a payment under the customer assurance program if all of the conditions stated above are met.

     The customer assurance program has no financial statement impact on PeopleSoft. A contingent liability would only be recognized in the financial statements of the Company or its acquirer upon or after the consummation of a business combination provided all the events listed above occurred. As of September 30, 2003, the maximum potential amount of future payments which may be required to be made under the customer assurance program was approximately $807 million.

     The customer assurance program has expired. The Company is currently considering whether and on what terms it will extend the customer assurance program.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Synthetic Leases

     The Company acquired four office buildings in Denver, Colorado (the “Denver Campus”) as a result of the acquisition of J.D. Edwards (see Note 8). The Denver Campus was constructed on land originally owned by J.D. Edwards and is leased under operating leases,

13


 

which commenced in 1997 and 1998. The Company has six-year master lease agreements with a lessor, a wholly owned subsidiary of a bank, which together with a syndication of other banks provided financing of $121.2 million for the purchase and construction costs of the buildings through a combination of debt and equity. The lease payment obligations are based on a return on the lessor’s costs. The Company also has an option to refinance or purchase the leased properties at its sole discretion during the term of the lease for approximately $121.2 million, the amount expended by the lessor and syndication of banks for purchase and construction costs. In the event that the Company does not exercise its option to refinance or purchase the leased properties, it must guarantee the residual value of each building up to approximately 85% of its original cost. The Company does not believe that it will be called upon to perform under the residual guarantee to satisfy any financial obligations under the leases. The Company has evaluated the fair value of the Denver Campus and determined that at this point it is not probable that the value of the property at the end of the lease term will be less than the residual value guaranteed by the Company. The leases terminate between April and November of 2004. The Company is currently considering alternatives that include a refinancing of the existing arrangement or a cash purchase.

     The Company can elect to reduce the interest rate used to calculate lease expense by collateralizing the Denver Campus financing arrangements with investments. At September 30, 2003, investments totaling $117.6 million were designated as collateral for these leases. The Company may withdraw the funds used as collateral, excluding restricted amounts, at its sole discretion provided that it is not in default under the lease agreements. At September 30, 2003, funds used as collateral in the amount of $81.7 million were available for withdrawal. At September 30, 2003, the Company was in compliance with the covenants, representations, and warranties required under the lease agreements.

Customer Indemnification

     From time to time, the Company agrees to indemnify its customers against liability if the Company’s products infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights. As of September 30, 2003, the Company had no outstanding claims and was not subject to any pending litigation alleging that the Company’s products infringe the intellectual property rights of any third parties.

PeopleSoft Stockholder Actions — Delaware Court of Chancery

     On June 6, 2003, Felix Ezeir (Case No. 20349-NC), Teresita Fay (Case No. 20350-NC), Robert Crescente (Case No. 20351-NC), Robert Corwin (Case No. 20352-NC) and Ernest Hack (Case No. 20353-NC), all of whom purport to be stockholders of the Company, each filed a putative stockholder class action suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery against the Company and several of its officers and directors. The suits allege that defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Company’s response to Oracle’s tender offer purportedly announced on June 6, 2003. Plaintiffs in each of the actions seek injunctive relief and an accounting. On June 10, 2003, an action was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery against these same defendants by Steven Padness (Case No. 20358-NC), making similar allegations and seeking similar relief. On June 12, 2003, an action was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery against these same defendants by Thomas Nemes (Case No. 20365-NC), making similar allegations and seeking similar relief (the “Nemes Action”). The Nemes Action was amended on June 18, 2003, to include allegations and seeking relief similar to those in the above-referenced actions.

     On June 25, 2003, on an application filed in the Nemes Action, the Court consolidated the actions listed above under a single caption and case number: In re PeopleSoft, Inc. Shareholder Litigation, Consol. C.A. No. 20365-NC (“the Delaware shareholder litigation”). Defendants filed their Answer on June 25, 2003.

     On July 2, 2003, Richard Hutchings (Case No. 20403-NC) filed a putative stockholder class action suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery against the Company and several of its officers and directors. The suit alleges that defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Company’s response to Oracle’s tender offer purportedly announced on June 6, 2003. Plaintiff seeks injunctive relief, an accounting and damages. On July 22, 2003, the Court ordered that this action be consolidated with the other putative shareholder actions listed above.

     On November 6, 2003, plaintiffs in the Delaware Shareholder Litigation, filed a motion for preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin defendant PeopleSoft, and its directors, officers and employees from continuing the Company’s Customer Assurance Program. In their motion, plaintiffs assert that the terms of the revised Customer Assurance Program constitute a disproportionate and unreasonable response to any perceived threat from Oracle’s outstanding tender offer. Plaintiffs have moved for an order expediting consideration of their motion for a preliminary injunction.

     Document discovery has commenced in these consolidated actions and is coordinated with the discovery in the action filed against the Company by Oracle, discussed below.

     The Company believes that the claims and allegations asserted in each of the foregoing putative class action suits are without merit, and intends to vigorously defend against these lawsuits.

     In the opinion of management, resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company.

Oracle v. PeopleSoft — Delaware Court of Chancery

14


 

     On June 18, 2003, Oracle filed a suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery (Case No. 20377-NC) against the Company, several of the Company’s directors (the “Director Defendants”), and J.D. Edwards, alleging that the Director Defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Company’s response to Oracle’s tender offer commenced on June 9 and amended June 18, 2003, and that J.D. Edwards aided and abetted such directors’ purported breach of fiduciary duty. Oracle seeks injunctive, declaratory and rescissory relief. On June 25, 2003, defendants filed their Answer. A hearing on a motion for preliminary injunction was scheduled for July 16, 2003, but was postponed upon the request of Oracle. On July 25, 2003, Oracle advised the Court that, in light of the second request for further information it received from the antitrust division of the United States Department of Justice regarding its tender offer, it did not believe it was appropriate to set a hearing date at this time. Document discovery has commenced in this litigation.

     On November 10, 2003, Oracle filed a motion for preliminary injunction, which is consolidated with the Delaware Shareholder Litigation in the Court of Chancery. In its motion for preliminary injunction, Oracle similarly seeks to enjoin the PeopleSoft defendants from continuing to offer to customers the terms contained in the revised Customer Assurance Program. On the same date, Oracle also filed motions seeking leave of Court to amend its Complaint and to expedite its motion for a preliminary injunction. The Court of Chancery has scheduled a hearing for November 19, 2003 to consider plaintiffs’ and Oracle’s motions to expedite consideration of their preliminary injunction applications.

     The Company believes that the claims and allegations asserted in this action are without merit, and intends vigorously to defend against this lawsuit.

     In the opinion of management, resolution of this matter is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company.

PeopleSoft Stockholder Actions — California Superior Court for the County of Alameda

     On June 6, 2003, separate actions were filed in the California Superior Court for the County of Alameda by Doris Staehr (Case No. RG03100291), the West Virginia Laborers Pension Trust Fund (Case No. RG03100306), Lorrie McBride (Case No. RG03100300), and Ray Baldi (Case No. RG03100696) (collectively the “Initial Alameda Stockholder Actions”), all of whom purport to be stockholders of the Company, against several of the Company’s executive officers and directors. The suits allege that defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with (i) the Company’s response to Oracle’s tender offer announced on June 6, 2003, (ii) the Company’s agreement to acquire J.D. Edwards, and (iii) the implementation of the 2003 Directors Stock Plan, which was approved by Company stockholders at the 2003 Annual Meeting. Plaintiffs seek injunctive, rescissory and declaratory relief. On June 16, 2003, the Initial Alameda Stockholder Actions were consolidated. On June 11, 2003, two additional actions were filed by Moshe Panzer (Case No. RG03100876) and Arace Brothers (Case No. RG03100830) asserting similar claims. By Order dated July 10, 2003, the Panzer and Arace actions were consolidated with the Initial Alameda Stockholder Actions (collectively “the Alameda Stockholder Actions”).

     By Order dated June 18, 2003, the Alameda County Superior Court granted the Company’s Motion to Stay the Initial Alameda Stockholder Actions pending resolution of the claims involving the duties of the defendant directors by the Delaware Court of Chancery. By Order dated July 10, 2003, the Alameda County Superior Court also stayed the Panzer and Arace Brothers cases pursuant to the June 18, 2003 Order in the Initial Alameda Stockholder Actions. Accordingly, all of the Alameda Stockholder Actions are stayed by order of the Court.

     The Company believes that the claims and allegations asserted in each of the foregoing putative class action suits are without merit, and intends to vigorously defend against these lawsuits.

     In the opinion of management, resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company.

Other Matters

     The Company is party to various legal disputes and proceedings arising during the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of the operations and cash flows of the Company. An unfavorable resolution of some or all of these matters could materially affect the Company’s future results of operations or cash flows.

11. Segment Information

     The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO). While the CEO is apprised of a variety of financial metrics and information, PeopleSoft is principally managed on a geographic basis in terms of revenue and segment margin performance. The Company’s two geographic business segments are: North America, which includes the United States and Canada, and International, which includes all other geographic regions. Operating expenses are managed functionally on a global basis. Assets are not identified with geographic segments because the CEO does not evaluate that information to make resource allocation decisions.

     Revenues are defined as revenues generated from unaffiliated customers. Cost of revenues includes the cost of license, cost of services and the direct selling cost included in sales and marketing expense. “Development and other services” revenue is not considered segment revenue. Correspondingly, “Cost of development and other services” is excluded from the cost of revenues for

15


 

segment purposes. Operating expenses, which are managed functionally on a global basis, include corporate marketing, product development, general and administrative expenses as well as restructuring, acquisition and other charges.

     Accounting policies for each of the reportable segments are the same as those used on a consolidated basis. The following table presents a summary of operating information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands):

     Revenues from the Europe/Middle-East/Africa region represented 18% and 14% of total revenues, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. Revenues from the Europe/Middle-East/Africa region represented 15% and 14% of total revenues, respectively, for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. No other international region had revenues equal to or greater than 10% of total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 or 2002. Revenues originating in each individual foreign country were less than 10% of total revenues for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002.

12. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

     In June 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, which addresses the financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and associated retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002.

16


 

The adoption of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

     In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107, and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34” (FIN 45). FIN 45 requires that a guarantor recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken by issuing the guarantee. FIN 45 also requires additional disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees it has issued. The accounting requirements for the initial recognition of guarantees are applicable on a prospective basis for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements are effective during the first quarter of fiscal 2003 for all guarantees outstanding, regardless of when they were issued or modified. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

     In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure–an Amendment of SFAS No. 123,” or SFAS 148, which amends SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. The transition and annual disclosure provisions of SFAS 148 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No.123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The interim disclosure provisions are effective for the first interim period beginning after December 15, 2002 and have been included in these consolidated financial statements.

     In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities’’ (FIN 46) that addresses the consolidation of variable interest entities. FIN 46 provides guidance for determining when a primary beneficiary should consolidate a variable interest entity, or equivalent structure, that functions to support the activities of the primary beneficiary. FIN 46 is effective after January 31, 2003 for newly created variable interest entities. For variable interest entities created before February 1, 2003, the interpretation is effective for the period ending after December 15, 2003. On June 30, 2003, the Company exercised its option to purchase certain of its headquarters facilities located in Pleasanton, California for $105.0 million, prior to the maturity of the related synthetic lease. Had the Company not terminated this synthetic lease prior to July 1, 2003, it would have been required to consolidate its financial position and results of operations under the provisions of FIN 46. However, given the termination of the lease, the provisions of FIN 46 did not apply. The Denver Campus does not meet the definition of a variable interest entity for consolidated financial reporting. Accordingly, the Company has accounted for the leases related to the Denver Campus as operating leases.

     In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity” (SFAS 150) that establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

     The fluctuations in the operating results of the Company and its segments for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 reflect the acquisition of J. D. Edwards. On July 17, 2003, we acquired approximately 85% of the outstanding stock of J.D. Edwards. On August 29, 2003, the Company acquired the remaining shares of J.D. Edwards, completing the merger with J.D. Edwards. Accordingly, J.D. Edwards’ results have been included in the Company’s results since July 18, 2003, and minority interest in earnings has been recorded from July 18, 2003 through August 29, 2003.

     Net income decreased $52.0 million or 117% to a net loss of $7.3 million for the third quarter of 2003 from net income of $44.6 million for the third quarter of 2002. The diluted loss per share was $0.02 in the third quarter of 2003, compared to diluted income per share of $0.14 in the third quarter of 2002.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, net income decreased $57.5 million or 46% to $67.7 million from $125.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, diluted income per share decreased to $0.20 from $0.39 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

     Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 includes restructuring, acquisition and other charges totaling $23.3 million ($20.0 million after tax) related to our acquisition of J.D. Edwards. These costs primarily result from in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) charges, employee related termination costs and contract termination costs. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 also includes restructuring charges totaling $13.8 million ($8.5 million after-tax) resulting from headcount reductions within various worldwide administrative and support functions and the closure of an underutilized office facility. Refer to “Restructuring, Acquisition and Other Charges” below. Additionally, net income (loss) for the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2003 includes costs associated with the Company’s response to the Oracle Corporation (“Oracle”) offer of $17.9 million ($11.0 million after tax) and $31.4 million ($19.3 million after tax), respectively.

     Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 includes a first quarter charge of $2.8 million ($1.7 million after-tax) for IPR&D related to the Annuncio Software, Inc. (Annuncio) business combination and a second quarter IPR&D charge of $8.7 million (no tax impact) related to the acquisition of Momentum Business Applications, Inc. (“Momentum”).

Revenues

     Our software products are generally licensed to end-user customers under non-exclusive, perpetual license agreements. Revenue from license fees increased by 32% to $160.5 million in the third quarter of 2003 from $121.6 million in the third quarter of 2002. The revenue increase is attributable to our acquisition of J.D. Edwards in July 2003. Revenue from license fees decreased by 9% to $353.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $386.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The decrease in license revenue reflects a slowdown in information technology spending resulting from the global economic downturn during the first half of the year, partially offset by an increase in license fees due to the acquisition of J.D. Edwards in July 2003.

     Our service revenue consists of software maintenance revenue and professional services revenue (consulting fees, customer training fees and miscellaneous fees). Maintenance revenue was $234.6 million during the third quarter of 2003 compared to $176.9 million during the third quarter of 2002. The $57.7 million increase in maintenance revenue is primarily a result of the continuing addition of new customers to our installed base combined with a high renewal rate by existing customers and an increase in maintenance revenue attributable to the acquisition of J.D. Edwards in July 2003. Professional services revenue was $229.1 million during the third quarter of 2003 compared to $172.7 million during the third quarter of 2002. The $56.4 million increase in professional services revenue is primarily attributable to the acquisition of J.D. Edwards in July 2003. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, maintenance revenue increased by 25% to $640.1 million from $512.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in maintenance revenue is primarily a result of the continuing addition of new customers to our installed base combined with a high renewal rate by existing customers and an increase in maintenance revenue attributable to the acquisition of J.D. Edwards in July 2003. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, professional services revenue increased by 11% to $588.7 million from $529.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in professional services revenue is primarily attributable to the acquisition of J.D. Edwards in July 2003. As a result of our acquisition of J. D. Edwards, the deferred revenues on J.D. Edwards balance sheet at the closing of the merger, which predominately consists of maintenance revenue, has been reduced to fair value. The impact of this fair value reduction will reduce the amount of deferred maintenance revenue available to be recognized into earnings as a result of the J. D. Edwards acquisition through the end of 2004. We anticipate that maintenance revenue will increase in 2004 as customers renew their maintenance contracts. (1)

     Development and other service revenue recognized in 2002 consisted of revenue generated pursuant to a development agreement with Momentum Development Corporation (“Momentum”). On April 9, 2002, we acquired Momentum. As a result of this acquisition, no development and other service revenue was subsequently generated. Revenue from development and other services was zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to $7.5 million for the same period in 2002. Cost of development and other services was zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to $6.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Refer to “Business Combinations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 for further discussion about Momentum and the acquisition of Momentum. We do not expect to have any further “Development and other services” revenue or related costs.(1)

Revenues by Segment

     At September 30, 2003 the Company is organized by geographic areas, in two operating segments: North America, which includes operations in the U.S. and Canada, and International, which includes operations in all other regions.

     Revenue from the North America segment during the third quarter of 2003 increased by 26% to $449.4 million, or 72% of total revenues, from $356.7 million, or 76% of total revenues during the third quarter of 2002. The increase in revenue during the quarter ended September 30, 2003 is primarily attributable to the inclusion of J.D. Edwards in July of 2003, which resulted in increases in license and service revenue. Revenues from the North America segment during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 increased by 7% to $1,167.5 million, or 74% of total revenues, from $1,088.9 million, or 76% of total revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in revenue during the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2003 primarily reflects the increase in revenue during the third quarter of 2003, partially offset by the impact of the slowdown in information technology spending during the first half of the year.

     Revenues from the International segment during the third quarter of 2003 increased by 53% to $174.7 million, or 28% of total revenues, from $114.5 million, or 24% of total revenue in the third quarter of 2002. Revenues from the International segment increased by 22% to $414.2 million, or 26% of total revenues, during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $340.3 million, or 24% of total revenues, during the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in revenue during the quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2003 is primarily attributable to the inclusion of J.D. Edwards in July of 2003, which resulted in increases in service and license revenue.

     Revenues from the Europe/Middle-East/Africa region represented 18% and 14% of total revenues, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. Revenues from the Europe/Middle-East/Africa region represented 15% and 14% of total revenues, respectively, for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. No other international region had revenues equal to or greater than 10% of total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 or 2002. Revenues originating in each individual foreign country were less than 10% of total revenues for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002.

Costs and Expenses

     Our software products are based on a combination of internally developed and acquired technology, as well as bundled third party technology and products. Cost of license fees consists principally of royalties, license fees for certain third party software products, amortization of capitalized software costs and product warranty costs. Cost of license fees increased to $21.9 million in the third quarter of 2003 from $11.5 million in the third quarter of 2002 representing 14% and 9% of license revenue respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, cost of license fees increased to $40.2 million from $33.1 million, representing 11% and 9% of license revenue in each of those nine month periods. The increase in the cost of license fees for the three months ended September 30, 2003 is primarily a result of amortization of capitalized software related to the J.D. Edwards acquisition in the amount of $8.7 million, and $2.8 million due to the inclusion of J.D. Edwards subsequent to July 2003, partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in royalties due to a change in the mix of royalty bearing license contracts. The increase in the cost of license fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 is primarily a result of amortization of capitalized software related to the J.D. Edwards acquisition in the amount of $8.7 million, $2.8 due to the inclusion of J.D. Edwards subsequent to its acquisition in July 2003, and $2.3 million of amortization of capitalized software primarily from the Momentum acquisition, partially offset by a $4.0 million decrease in royalties due to a change in the mix of royalty bearing license contracts.

     Cost of services consists primarily of employee costs and the related infrastructure costs incurred in providing consulting services, post-installation support and training. Cost of services increased to $230.2 million in the third quarter of 2003 from $159.4 million in the third quarter of 2002, representing 50% and 46% of service revenues in each of those quarters. The inclusion of J.D. Edwards since its acquisition in July 2003 accounted for $61.1 million of the increase in cost of services. The remaining increase is primarily due to amortization of intangibles of $10.9 million related to maintenance agreements and related relationships and consulting contracts acquired from J.D. Edwards. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003 cost of services increased to $560.4 million from $495.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2002, representing 46% and 47% of service revenues, respectively. The increase in cost of services for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 is primarily due to the inclusion of $61.1 million relating to J.D. Edwards subsequent to July 2003 and amortization of intangibles related to maintenance agreements and consulting contracts acquired from J.D. Edwards of $10.9 million.

     Sales and marketing expenses increased to $168.6 million in the third quarter of 2003 from $127.6 million in the third quarter of 2002, representing 27% of total revenues in each of those quarters. The increase in sales and marketing expenses for the quarter is primarily due to the inclusion of J.D. Edwards subsequent to its acquisition in July 2003 in the amount of $48.6 million and amortization of intangibles for customer contracts and related relationships related to the acquisition of $2.8 million, and $2.6 million in increased marketing costs associated with our response to the Oracle Offer, partially offset by a $2.6 million decrease in salaries due to decreased headcount from the restructuring that occurred during the second quarter of 2003, and a $2.1 million decrease in facilities expense and information systems expense. Sales and marketing expenses increased to $419.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $378.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, representing 26% of total revenues in each of the nine month periods. The increase in sales and marketing expenses for the nine months is primarily due to the inclusion of J.D. Edwards subsequent to its acquisition in July 2003 in the amount of $48.6 million and amortization of intangibles related to the acquisition of $2.8 million, as well as $4.9 million in increased marketing costs associated with our response to the Oracle Offer, partially offset by a $6.5 million decrease in salaries and benefits due to decreased headcount from the second quarter 2003 restructuring, a $4.5 million decrease in commissions due to decreased software license sales, and a $3.5 million decrease in rent expense and information systems expense.

     Product development expenses consist of costs related primarily to our software development and the associated infrastructure costs required to fund product development initiatives. Product development expenses increased to $127.7 million in the third quarter of 2003 from $83.0 million in the third quarter of 2002, representing 20% and 18% of total revenues in each of those quarters. The

increase in product development expenses is primarily attributable to the inclusion of J.D. Edwards subsequent to its acquisition in July 2003 in the amount of $32.2 million as well as a $5.4 million increase in employee bonuses, $4.0 million increase in salaries expense due to increased headcount in 2003, and a $2.2 million increase in amortization of patent intangibles related to the acquisition. Product development expenses increased to $296.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $252.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, representing 19% and 18% of total revenues, respectively. The increase in product development expenses is primarily attributable to the inclusion of J.D. Edwards subsequent to its acquisition in July 2003 in the amount of $32.2 million, and amortization of patent intangibles related to the J.D. Edwards acquisition of $2.2 million, a $5.9 million increase in development activities as developers were redeployed from working on Momentum projects in the prior year, and a $4.8 million increase in salaries and benefits expense due to increased headcount in 2003. Our focus is to continue to extend our software offerings by delivering enhanced functionality and to further develop new applications in our integrated application suites: Human Capital Management, Financial Management Solutions, Customer Relationship Management and Supply Chain Management.(1)

     General and administrative expenses increased to $61.9 million during the third quarter of 2003 from $27.2 million during the third quarter of 2002, representing 10% and 6% of total revenues, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to the inclusion of J.D. Edwards general and administrative expenses in the amount of $15.8 million subsequent to the acquisition in July 2003 as well as $12.4 million in investment banking, legal and other expenses incurred in the third quarter of 2003 related to our response to the Oracle Offer and $3.2 million in integration fees, paid to third parties, related to the J.D. Edwards acquisition. General and administrative expenses increased to $135.9 million from $84.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, representing 9% and 6% of total revenues, respectively. The increase for the nine month period is primarily attributable to $23.6 million in expenses incurred in the second and third quarter of 2003 related to our response to the Oracle Offer, the inclusion of J.D. Edwards general and administrative expenses in the amount of $15.8 million subsequent to the acquisition in July 2003, a $4.6 million increase in salaries and benefits primarily relating to the redeployment of internal personnel, and $3.2 million in integration fees paid to third parties relating to the J.D. Edwards acquisition.

Restructuring, Acquisition and Other Charges

     During the third quarter of 2003, we recorded restructuring and acquisition charges totaling $23.3 million that relate to the J.D. Edwards acquisition which are included in “Restructuring acquisition and other charges”. This consisted of $8.8 million in restructuring charges and a$14.5 million IPR&D write-off (see “Business Combinations” below). Restructuring charges consisted $5.6 million for employee severance, $2.2 million for acquisition related employee retention, and $1.0 million for contract terminations. During the second quarter of 2003, we recorded pretax restructuring charges of $13.8 million, which consisted of $4.6 million for employee severance, $7.5 million for the fair value of lease obligations associated with the closure of an office facility and $1.7 million for the impairment of related leasehold improvements. Approximately $19.6 million of the above restructuring charges are cash charges, which are expected to be funded through operating cash flow. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, we incurred a first quarter charge of $2.8 million related to the write-off of in-process research and development costs associated with our acquisition of Annuncio and a second quarter charge of $8.7 million related to the write-off of in-process research and development costs related to the acquisition of Momentum.

     Restructuring, acquisition and other charges recorded in the third quarter of 2003 are based on our restructuring plans that have been committed to by management. The Company expects to record additional “Restructuring, acquisition and other” charges of approximately $4 to $6 million for employee related costs and facility obligations during the fourth quarter of 2003.(1) Any changes to the estimates of executing the restructuring plans will be reflected in our future results of operations as appropriate.(1)

Other Income, Net

     Other income, net, which primarily includes interest income, increased to $7.6 million in the third quarter of 2003 from $5.6 million in the third quarter of 2002, and decreased to $19.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $21.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase for the third quarter of 2003 is primarily the result of the inclusion of $1.6 million of other income and expense acquired in the J.D. Edwards acquisition. The decrease for the nine month period ended September 30, 2003, is primarily due to a $1.6 million decrease in investment income due to decrease in yields from prior year and the impairment of certain investments, $4.7 million in foreign currency exchange losses primarily due to the weakening of various Latin American currencies in the prior year and the $1.4 million loss on the buyout of interest rate swaps in the second quarter of 2003, partially offset by the inclusion of $1.6 million of other income and expense related to the J.D. Edwards acquisition, proceeds from the

sale of an investment in marketable securities in the amount of $1.8 million and the exclusion of $1.8 million of interest expense on convertible bonds which matured in the third quarter of 2002.

Provision for Income Taxes

     Our income tax provision decreased to $4.2 million in the third quarter of 2003 from $23.5 million in the third quarter of 2002 and decreased to $42.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $70.3 million for the same period in 2002. Our effective tax rate was 38.4% and 36.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Exclusive of restructuring charges in the second quarter of 2003 and restructuring charges and in-process research and development charges in the third quarter of 2003 and in-process research and development charges in the first and second quarters of 2002, the effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were 34.6% and 34.5%, respectively. The net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2003 were $79.5 million. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, the valuation of these net deferred tax assets is based upon an estimate of both the timing and amount of future taxable income. Future taxable income may be derived from future operations, subsequent reversals of deferred tax liabilities and other sources.(1)

Business Combinations

     Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger with J.D. Edwards dated June 16, 2003, the Company acquired approximately 85% of the outstanding stock of J.D. Edwards on July 18, 2003 pursuant to an exchange offer and the remaining shares on August 29, 2003 pursuant to a merger. J.D. Edwards results have been included in the Company’s results since July 18, 2003, and minority interest in net income has been recorded from July 18, 2003 through August 29, 2003.

     J.D. Edwards offers enterprise software as well as consulting, education and support services. The Company’s board of directors approved the offer and the merger and determined that the offer and the merger would provide the Company with increased breadth and depth across the Company’s products, market segments and industry coverage. The Company’s board determined that J.D. Edwards’ expertise in manufacturing and distribution applications would strengthen the Company’s enterprise application suite. In addition, the board determined that J.D. Edwards mid-market focused applications and AS/400 based solutions would be additive to the Company’s Internet-based enterprise application suite.

     In the exchange offer, holders of J.D. Edwards common stock were entitled to make an election to tender their shares for cash or shares of PeopleSoft stock and such holders were entitled to receive cash, stock, or a combination of cash and stock, in each case having a value, on a per share basis of $7.05 plus 0.43 of a share of the Company’s common stock, allocated by prorating cash and shares available in the exchange offer among the elections made by the holders. At the completion of the acquisition, a total of 124,108,566 shares of J.D. Edwards common stock were tendered and accepted for exchange by PeopleSoft.

     The Company exchanged options held by J.D. Edwards employees with PeopleSoft options at a rate of 0.43 PeopleSoft options per J.D. Edwards option. Each exchanged PeopleSoft option retained the same vesting characteristics as the J.D. Edwards option it replaced and each J.D. Edwards option holder will receive $7.05 per option upon exercise.

     The aggregate purchase price was approximately $2 billion, which consisted of approximately $875 million in cash, $962 million in PeopleSoft common stock and options, $88.5 million in restructuring costs (see footnote 6) and $27.5 million in deal costs and other incurred liabilities, which primarily consist of fees paid for legal, accounting and financial advisory services. A total of 53,312,015 PeopleSoft shares were issued in the transaction. The value of the stock issued to J.D. Edwards shareholders was based upon the average of closing prices of one share of the Company’s common stock during the five trading days ending June 18, 2003, which was $17.22. The fair value of the Company’s stock-based awards to employees was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the stock-based awards to employees was estimated assuming no expected dividends and the following weighted-average assumptions:

         
Expected life (in years)
    1.90  
Expected volatility
    0.7468  
Risk free interest rate
    1.86 %

The intrinsic value allocated to the unvested J.D. Edwards options assumed in the exchange was approximately $6.7 million and has been recorded as deferred compensation in the purchase price allocation. Option holders having options with strike prices of $7.05 (J.D. Edwards pre-merger price) or less were given 0.43 shares of the Company’s common stock plus $7.05 less the exercise price and any applicable taxes, in order to retire these options. Approximately 5.0 million of the approximately 8.4 million options issued are fully vested.

     As a result of the acquisition of J.D. Edwards, the Company recorded approximately $88.5 million of restructuring costs in connection with exiting certain pre-acquisition activities of J.D. Edwards including severance costs, change in control payments, costs of vacating duplicate facilities, contract termination costs, and other costs. Change in control payments are made to employees covered by a plan maintained by J.D. Edwards and subsequently assumed by PeopleSoft upon the completion of the merger. That change in control plan provides for specified severance and other change in control-related benefits to participants in the plan. The plan covered 197 senior management employees. Terminated individuals who will receive severance and change in control payments are primarily general and administrative, consulting, and sales and marketing employees. And accordingly, these costs have been recognized as a liability assumed in the purchase business combination. Future cash payments related to the restructuring reserves for employee costs are expected to be made through July 2004. Future cash contract termination payments are expected to be made through August 2007. Future cash payments related to the restructuring reserves for facilities obligations are expected to be made through January 2008.

     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations,” the Company allocated the purchase price to the tangible assets, deferred compensation, liabilities and intangible assets acquired, as well as in-process research and development, based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over the fair values was recorded as goodwill. The fair value assigned to intangible assets acquired was based on estimates and assumptions determined by management. The assignment of goodwill to the Company’s reportable segments for this acquisition has not yet been completed. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill and purchased intangibles with indefinite lives acquired after June 30, 2001 are not amortized but will be reviewed periodically for impairment. Purchased intangibles with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives. The total purchase price has initially been allocated as follows (in thousands):

           
Current assets
  $ 545,984  
Property and equipment
    75,349  
Capitalized software
    226,300

    (5,142 )
Long term deferred income taxes
    (129,289 )
 
   
 
Total Purchase Price
  $ 1,952,990  
 
   
 

     The purchase price allocation is preliminary and a final determination of required purchase accounting adjustments will be made upon the completion of a final analysis of the total purchase cost primarily related to estimating involuntary termination and facility related costs.

     In performing this preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company considered, among other factors, its intention for future use of the acquired assets, analyses of historical financial performance and estimates of future performance of J.D. Edwards’ products. The fair value of intangible assets was primarily based on the income approach. The royalty savings approach and the cost approach were also utilized when appropriate. The rates utilized to discount the net cash flows to their present values were based upon the Company’s weighted average cost of capital and range from 12% to 14%. These discount rates were determined after consideration of the Company’s rate of return on debt capital and equity, the weighted average return on invested capital and the risk associated with achieving forecasted sales related to the technology and assets acquired from J.D. Edwards. At September 30, 2003, identifiable intangible assets purchased in the J. D. Edwards acquisition consist of the following (in thousands, except for useful life):

     In-process research and development (“IPR&D”) of $14.5 million was expensed as “Restructuring, acquisition and other charges” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations because the purchased research and development had no alternative uses and had not reached technological feasibility. Four in-process research and development projects were identified relating to the JDE 5 product line. Two of the projects relate to enterprise resource planning software and have a value of approximately $8.9 million. The third project relates to customer relationship management software and has a value of approximately $3.2 million. The fourth project relates to technology designed to enhance the functionality of enterprise resource planning software and has a value of approximately $2.4 million. The value assigned to IPR&D was determined utilizing the income approach by segregating cash flow projections related to in process projects. The stage of completion of each in process project was estimated to determine the discount rate to be applied to the valuation of the in process technology. Based upon the level of completion and the risk associated with in process technology, a discount rate of 25% was deemed appropriate for valuing IPR&D.

Oracle’s Unsolicited Tender Offer for PeopleSoft’s Common Stock

     On June 6, 2003, Oracle announced that it intended to commence an unsolicited cash tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of PeopleSoft for $16.00 per share, or approximately $5.1 billion in the aggregate (the “Oracle Offer”). The tender offer was formally commenced June 9, 2003, and on June 18, 2003 Oracle amended the offer to increase the purchase price $16.00 to $19.50 per share.

     As more fully described in the Company’s amended Schedule 14D-9, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that the Oracle Offer is not in the best interests of the stockholders and unanimously recommended that the stockholders reject the Oracle Offer and not tender their shares to Oracle for purchase. The expiration of the Oracle Offer is currently December 31, 2003.

     See Note 10, “Commitments and Contingencies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about litigation instituted by the Company and others related to the Oracle Offer.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires us to utilize accounting policies and make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported results. We believe our accounting policies and estimates related to revenue recognition, business combinations, capitalized software, allowance for doubtful accounts, product and service warranty reserve and deferred tax asset valuation allowances represent our critical accounting policies and estimates. Despite the Company’s best effort to make good faith estimates and assumptions, actual results may differ.

Revenue Recognition

     We recognize revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, with Respect to Certain Transactions,” and other authoritative accounting literature. We derive revenues from the following sources: license fee revenue, maintenance revenue and professional services revenue.

     License Fee Revenue. For software license agreements that do not require significant modifications or customization of the software, we recognize software license revenue when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the license fee is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. Our software license agreements generally include multiple products and services, or “elements.” Consulting services, if included as an element of software license agreements, generally

do not involve significant modification or customization of the licensed software. We use the residual method to recognize revenue when a license agreement includes one or more elements to be delivered at a future date and vendor specific evidence of the fair value of all undelivered elements exists. The fair value of the undelivered elements is determined based on the historical evidence of stand-alone sales of these elements to third parties. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue. If evidence of the fair value of one or more undelivered elements does not exist, the total revenue is deferred and recognized when delivery of those elements occurs or when fair value can be established. If the license fee due from the customer is not fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized as payment becomes due, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. We consider arrangements with extended payment terms not to be fixed or determinable. Revenue associated with reseller arrangements is recognized when we receive persuasive evidence that the reseller has sold the products to an end user customer. Acceptance provisions included in a software license agreement generally grant customers a right of refund or replacement only if the licensed software does not perform in accordance with its published specifications. Based on our history, the likelihood of non-acceptance in these situations is remote, and we recognize revenue when all other criteria of revenue recognition are met. If the likelihood of non-acceptance is determined to be other than remote, revenue is recognized upon the earlier of receipt of written acceptance or when the acceptance period has lapsed.

     In response to Oracle’s public statements about its intent to discontinue the Company’s products, and to minimize a potential loss of business during the Oracle Offer, the Company implemented a customer assurance program. This program incorporates a contingent change in control provision to its standard perpetual licensing arrangement. That provision provides customers purchasing application licenses with financial protection in the event that an acquirer discontinues or reduces (or with respect to certain contracts, announces the intention to discontinue or reduce) the licensing, development or support of PeopleSoft applications within a specified period after an acquisition, as defined in the program terms. That financial protection is in the form of a payment generally equal to two to five times the total arrangement fees. The multiple increases as the arrangement fees increase and will be generally paid provided the following events occur:

    either within one year or two years from the contract effective date, the Company is acquired or merged, and the Company is not the acquirer, and
 
    either within two or four years from the contract effective date, the acquiring company announces a) its intention to discontinue, or discontinues support services before the end of the normal support term as defined by the Company’s standard policies, or b) announces its intention to discontinue licensing PeopleSoft products to new customers, or c) announces its intention not to, or does not, provide updates or new releases for supportable products for a specified period; and
 
    the customer requests the payment in writing by a specified date and the customer has timely paid for support services in accordance with the terms of the customer’s agreement with the Company.

     The terms available under certain contracts also included additional payment triggers after an acquisition, including:
   
  a) a reduction or the announced intention to reduce the amount of money spent to develop updates for the supportable modules or provide support services below the level spent by the Company in the 12 months preceding the acquisition, or
 
  b) a reduction or the announced intention to reduce or limit the ability of the supportable modules to integrate or operate with third party products such as databases, software, products, and technologies.

     Customers retain rights to the licensed products whether or not the customer assurance program’s payments are triggered. No customer is entitled to a refund of arrangement fees paid under the customer’s contract with the Company, but the customer would be entitled to a payment under the customer assurance program if all of the conditions stated above are met.

     The customer assurance program has no financial statement impact on PeopleSoft. A contingent liability would only be recognized in the financial statements of the Company or its acquirer upon or after the consummation of a business combination provided all the events listed above occurred. As of September 30, 2003, the maximum potential amount of future payments which may be required to be made under the customer assurance program was approximately $807 million.

     The customer assurance program has expired. The Company is currently considering whether and on what terms it will extend the customer assurance program.

     Maintenance Revenue. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement, typically one year.

     Professional Services Revenue. Professional services revenue primarily consists of consulting and customer training revenues, which are usually charged on a time and materials basis and are recognized as the services are performed. Revenue from certain fixed price contracts is recognized on a percentage of completion basis, which involves the use of estimates. If we do not have a sufficient basis to measure the progress towards completion, revenue is recognized when the project is completed or when we receive final acceptance from the customer.

Business Combinations

     We are required to allocate the purchase price of acquired companies to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, as well as IPR&D based on their estimated fair values. We engage independent third-party appraisal firms to assist us in determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Such a valuation requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets.

     Critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets include but are not limited to: future expected cash flows from license sales, maintenance agreements, consulting contracts, customer contracts, and acquired developed technologies and patents; expected costs to develop the IPR&D into commercially viable products and estimating cash flows from the projects when completed; the acquired company’s brand awareness and market position, as well as assumptions about the period of time the acquired brand will continue to be used in the combined company’s product portfolio; and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur.

     Other estimates associated with the accounting for these acquisitions may change as additional information becomes available regarding the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In particular, restructuring liabilities that have resulted from the J.D. Edwards purchase are subject to change as management completes its assessment of the pre-merger operations and begins to execute the approved plan.

Capitalized Software

     We account for the development cost of software intended for sale in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, “Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed” (SFAS 86). SFAS 86 requires product development costs to be charged to expense as incurred until technological feasibility is attained. Technological feasibility is attained when our software has completed internal testing and has been determined viable for its intended use. The time between the attainment of technological feasibility and completion of software development has been short with immaterial amounts of development costs incurred during this period. Accordingly, we did not capitalize any significant development costs in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. We capitalize software acquired through technology purchases and business combinations if the related software under development has reached technological feasibility or if there are alternative future uses for the software. We evaluate the recoverability of capitalized software based on estimated future gross revenues reduced by the estimated cost of completing the products and of performing maintenance and customer support. If our gross revenues were to be significantly less than our estimates, the net realizable value of our capitalized software intended for sale would be impaired.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

     We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts at an amount we estimate to be sufficient to provide adequate protection against losses resulting from collecting less than full payment on our receivables. We record an allowance for receivables based on a percentage of revenues. Individual overdue accounts are reviewed, and an additional allowance is recorded when determined necessary to state receivables at realizable value. In judging the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, we consider multiple factors including historical bad debt experience, the general economic environment, and the aging of our receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required when we assess the realization of receivables, including assessing the probability of collection and the current creditworthiness of each customer. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, an additional provision for doubtful accounts may be required.

Product and Service Warranty Reserve

     We provide for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims, provided that it is probable that a liability exists, and provided the amount can be reasonably estimated. Warranty expense is equal to the costs to repair or otherwise satisfy the claim. As settlement negotiations proceed, additional information becomes available which may result in changes in the estimated liability. If claims are settled for amounts differing from our estimates, or if the estimated value of warranty claims were to increase or decrease, revisions to the estimated warranty liability may be required and the warranty expense may change from current levels.

Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance

26


 

     We account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” We assess the likelihood that our net deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we establish a valuation allowance against those deferred tax assets. We consider future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the amount of the valuation allowance. However, adjustments could be required in the future if we determine that the amount to be realized is greater or less than the amount we have recorded. We have established valuation allowances for net operating losses incurred in foreign jurisdictions and other foreign tax benefits as well as on operating loss carry-forwards in state jurisdictions of acquired companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At September 30, 2003, we had $595.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and $972.0 million in short-term investments, consisting principally of investments in interest-bearing demand deposit accounts with various financial institutions, tax-advantaged money market funds and highly liquid debt securities of corporations and municipalities. At September 30, 2003, working capital was $950 million. We believe that the combination of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investment balances and potential cash flow from operations will be sufficient, at least through the next twelve months, to satisfy our cash requirements.(1)

     Cash provided by operating activities increased $73.7 million to $311.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $238.2 million during the same period in 2002. The increase was primarily due to an increase associated with fluctuations in the deferred revenue and accounts receivable balances and an increase in depreciation and amortization relating to the J.D. Edwards acquisition, partially offset by lower net income and a decrease in the fluctuation of income taxes primarily resulting from changes in temporary differences for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002.

     Cash used in investing activities decreased $274.2 million to $131.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $405.6 million during the same period in 2002. The decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in net sales of investments of $832.4 million, partially offset by the acquisition of J.D. Edwards for $519.9 million and greater purchases of property and equipment, largely relating to exercising options under synthetic lease agreements for $175.0 million in 2003 to purchase certain of our headquarters facilities in Pleasanton, California.

     Cash provided by financing activities increased $37.8 million to $77.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $39.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase was primarily due to the retirement of convertible debt in 2002 for $57.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in proceeds received from the exercise of common stock options by employees of $18.2 million.

     On October 27, 2003, the Company implemented a stock repurchase program in which up to $350 million of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, is eligible to be repurchased by the Company from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated purchases or otherwise, depending on market prices and other conditions. The Company’s board of directors believes that the proposed share repurchases are consistent with its goal of utilizing available cash for the benefit of its stockholders, in that the reduction in the number of shares outstanding following the share repurchase will increase the relative percentage ownership of the Company by those stockholders who retain their shares, and the reduction in the number of outstanding shares is expected to be accretive to earnings per share. The Company intends to hold all shares repurchased by it pursuant to the share repurchase program as treasury stock. The Company intends to fund all share repurchases from cash surplus and general corporate funds generated from its operations. As of November 10, 2003 the Company had repurchased 12 million shares of its common stock for approximately $253.4 million.

     As part of our business strategy, we may acquire companies or products from time to time to enhance our product and service lines. These acquisitions may be paid for with available cash, equity, debt or a combination of these sources.(1)

Commercial Commitments

     On February 27, 2003, we exercised our option under a synthetic lease agreement to purchase certain of our headquarters facilities located in Pleasanton, California for $70.0 million and on June 30, 2003, we exercised our option under a synthetic lease agreement to purchase certain of our headquarters facilities located in Pleasanton, California for $105.0 million, prior to the agreement’s maturity date in September 2003.

     The Company acquired four office buildings in Denver, Colorado (the “Denver Campus”) as a result of the acquisition of J.D. Edwards (see Note 8 to Condensed Financial Statements). The Denver Campus was constructed on land originally owned by J.D.

Edwards and is leased under operating leases, which commenced in 1997 and 1998. The Company has six-year master lease agreements with a lessor, a wholly owned subsidiary of a bank, which together with a syndicate of other banks provided financing of $121.2 million for the purchase and construction costs of the buildings through a combination of debt and equity. The lease payment obligations are based on a return on the lessor’s costs. The Company also has an option to refinance or purchase the leased properties at its sole discretion during the term of the lease for approximately $121.2 million, the amount expended by the lessor and syndicate of banks for purchase and construction costs. In the event that the Company does not exercise its option to refinance or purchase the leased properties, it must guarantee the residual value of each building up to approximately 85% of its original cost. The Company does not believe that it will be called upon to perform under the residual guarantee to satisfy any financial obligations under the leases. The Company has evaluated the fair value of the Denver Campus and determined that at this point it is not probable that the value of the property at the end of the lease term will be less than the residual value guaranteed by the Company. The leases terminate between April and November of 2004. The Company is currently considering alternatives that include a refinancing of the existing arrangement or a cash purchase.(1)

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

     In June 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, which addresses the financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and associated retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

     In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107, and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34” (FIN 45). The Interpretation requires that a guarantor recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken by issuing the guarantee. The Interpretation also requires additional disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees it has issued. The accounting requirements for the initial recognition of guarantees are applicable on a prospective basis for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements are effective during the first quarter of fiscal 2003 for all guarantees outstanding, regardless of when they were issued or modified. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

     In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure–an Amendment of SFAS No. 123,” or SFAS 148, which amends SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. The transition and annual disclosure provisions of SFAS 148 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The interim disclosure provisions are effective for the first interim period beginning after December 15, 2002 and have been included in these consolidated financial statements.

     In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities’’ (FIN 46) that addresses the consolidation of variable interest entities. The interpretation provides guidance for determining when a primary beneficiary should consolidate a variable interest entity, or equivalent structure, that functions to support the activities of the primary beneficiary. The interpretation is effective after January 31, 2003 for newly created variable interest entities. For variable interest entities created before February 1, 2003, the interpretation is effective for the period ending after December 15, 2003. On June 30, 2003, the Company exercised its option to purchase certain of its headquarters facilities located in Pleasanton, California for $105.0 million, prior to the maturity of the related synthetic lease. Had the Company not terminated this synthetic lease prior to July 1, 2003, it would have been required to consolidate its financial position and results of operations under the provisions of FIN 46. However, given the termination of the lease, the provisions of FIN 46 did not apply. The lessor of the Denver Campus does not meet the definition of a variable interest entity for our consolidated financial reporting. Accordingly, the Company has accounted for these leases as operating leases.

     In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity” (SFAS 150) that establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 is effective for financial

instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this statement had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Exchange Risk

     Our international business is subject to risks, including, but not limited to, unique economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility. Accordingly, our future results could be materially adversely impacted by changes in these or other factors.

     International sales are made mostly from our foreign subsidiaries in their respective countries and are typically denominated in the local currency of each country. Our foreign subsidiaries incur most of their expenses in local currency as well.

     Our exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations primarily arises from intercompany transactions. We are also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the financial results of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars during consolidation. As exchange rates vary, these results, when translated, may vary from expectations and may adversely impact overall expected profitability.

     We have a foreign exchange hedging program principally designed to mitigate the future potential impact due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Forward exchange contracts are primarily used to hedge foreign currency exposures of the Company as well as the U.S. dollar denominated exposures of our foreign subsidiaries. We operate in certain countries in Latin America and Asia Pacific where there are limited forward currency exchange markets, and thus we also have unhedged exposures in these countries. In general, our forward foreign exchange contracts have terms of two months or less, which approximate the expected settlement date of the underlying exposure. Gains and losses on the settled contracts are included in “Other income, net” and are recognized in the current period, consistent with the period in which the gain or loss of the underlying transaction is recognized.

     At September 30, 2003, the Company had the following outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts to exchange foreign currency for U.S. dollars (in millions):

                 
            Notional Weighted
    Notional   Average Exchange

     At September 30, 2003, the Company had the following outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts to exchange U.S. dollars for foreign currency (in millions):

                 
            Notional Weighted
    Notional   Average Exchange

     At September 30, 2003, each of these contracts matured within 60 days and had a book value that approximated fair value. Neither the cost nor the fair value of these forward foreign exchange contracts was material at September 30, 2003. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, we recorded net foreign currency transaction losses of $1.8 million.

Interest Rate Risk

Investments In Debt Securities

     We invest in a variety of securities, consisting principally of investments in interest-bearing demand deposit accounts with financial institutions, tax-exempt money market funds and highly liquid debt securities of corporations and municipalities. Cash balances in foreign currencies overseas represent operating balances that are typically invested in short term time deposits in local operating banks.

     We classify debt securities based on maturity dates on the date of purchase and reevaluate the classification as of each balance sheet date. As of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, all our investments were classified as available-for-sale, which are carried at fair value. Fair value is determined based on quoted market prices, with net unrealized gains and losses included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” net of tax, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

     Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning securities carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities, which typically have a shorter duration, may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our investment income may decrease in the future due to changes in interest rates.

     At September 30, 2003, the average maturity of our investment securities was less than three months and all investment securities had maturities of less than eighteen months. At September 30, 2003, we invested heavily in tax-exempt investments, which reduced our weighted average interest rate.

     Below is a schedule that shows the maturity profile of our investment securities held at September 30, 2003 and the related weighted average interest rates. The weighted average rates include both taxable and tax-exempt investments (in millions, except weighted average interest rates):

Weighted average interest rate
    1.07 %     1.23 %              

Interest Rate Swap Transactions

     The Company used interest rate swap transactions to manage its exposure to interest rate changes on its synthetic lease obligations related to certain of its headquarters facilities located in Pleasanton, California. The swaps had an aggregate notional principal amount of $175.0 million and matured at various dates in 2003, consistent with the expiration of the synthetic leases. Under the swap agreements, the Company received a variable interest rate based on the three month LIBOR rate and paid a weighted average fixed interest rate of 6.8%. The swaps were designated under SFAS 133 as hedges against changes in the amount of future cash flows. In February 2003, the Company exercised its option under a synthetic lease agreement to purchase certain of its headquarters facilities located in Pleasanton, California for $70.0 million, and concurrently swaps with an aggregate notional principal amount of $70.0 million matured. On June 30, 2003 the Company exercised its option under a synthetic lease agreement to purchase certain of its headquarters facilities located in Pleasanton, California for $105.0 million. As a result of this transaction, the Company terminated its remaining interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional principal amount of $105.0 million resulting in a pretax charge of $1.4 million to “Other income, net.” Included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” at March 31, 2003 was a $1.8 million unrealized loss (after-tax) related to these interest rate swaps. In the second quarter of 2003, $0.9 million (after-tax) was reclassified into earnings by making scheduled swap payments and $0.9 million (after-tax) was recognized as a realized loss that was reclassified into earnings upon the termination of the remaining interest rate swap agreements.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     As of the end of the third quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of members of our management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them in a timely manner to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings.

     During the most recent fiscal quarter, there has not occurred any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

     The Company inherited J.D. Edwards’ internal controls over financial reporting upon the closing of the merger with J.D. Edwards. The Company evaluated the J.D. Edwards’ internal controls over financial reporting and concluded that PeopleSoft’s existing internal controls over financial reporting are sufficient and no material changes were required to be made to PeopleSoft’s internal controls as a result of the merger.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT OUR FUTURE RESULTS OR THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR STOCK

     We operate in a dynamic and rapidly changing environment that involves numerous risks and uncertainties. The following section describes some, but not all, of these risks and uncertainties that may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. This section should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We may not successfully complete the integration of our and J.D. Edwards’ business operations into the Company. In addition, we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger, which could adversely affect the price of our common stock.

     We entered into the merger agreement with J.D. Edwards, and completed the merger on August 29, 2003, with the expectation that the acquisition would result in benefits to the combined company. However, these expected benefits may not be fully realized. The integration of both companies is in progress. The remaining integration work related to PeopleSoft’s and J.D. Edwards’ operations may be difficult, time consuming and costly, particularly in light of the technical and complex nature of each company’s products. The combined company must successfully complete its integration of, among other things, certain product and service offerings, product development, sales and marketing, administrative and customer service functions, and management information systems. In addition, we must retain the key management, key employees, customers, distributors, vendors and other business partners of both companies in order to achieve certain desired synergies. It is possible that these integration efforts will not be completed as efficiently as planned or will distract management from the operations of the combined company’s business.

     The challenges remaining in this integration include the following:

    managing software development activities to define a combined product roadmap, ensure timely release of innovative products to market, successfully provide key integration applications between J.D. Edwards and the Company’s products, coordinating software development operations in an efficient manner to ensure timely development of product roadmaps, and release of future products to market;
 
    demonstrating to our existing and potential customers that the business combination will not result in adverse changes in customer service standards or business focus;
 
    obtaining any remaining required consents of suppliers, distributors, system integrators, customers, licensors, facility owners and other business partners in connection with the merger;
 
    retaining key alliances on attractive terms with partners and suppliers;
 
    coordinating and integrating sales and marketing efforts to effectively communicate the capabilities of the combined company, cross selling products to each other’s customers, and successfully managing the combined sales force;
 
    managing an increased number of employees over large geographic distances;
 
    creating and effectively implementing uniform standards, controls, procedures, policies and information systems; and
 
    retaining or recruiting key personnel.

     The execution of these post-merger activities will involve considerable risks and may not be successful. These risks include:

    the failure to realize the anticipated synergies from our combination with J.D. Edwards;
 
    the potential disruption of the combined company’s ongoing business and distraction of its management;
 
    potential delays related to integration of the operations, technology and other components of the two companies;
 
    the impairment of relationships with suppliers, customers and business partners as a result of any integration of new

33


 

      management personnel;
 
    the inability to successfully manage the substantially larger and geographically diverse organization;
 
    greater than anticipated costs and expenses related to restructuring, including employee severance or relocation costs and costs related to vacating leased facilities; and
 
    potential unknown liabilities associated with J.D. Edwards, the merger and the combined operations of the two companies.

     The combined company may not successfully complete the integration of the operations of PeopleSoft and J.D. Edwards in a timely manner, or at all, and the combined company may not realize the anticipated benefits of the merger to the extent, or in the timeframe, anticipated, which could significantly harm our business and have a material adverse effect on the combined company.

Charges to earnings resulting from the acquisition of J.D. Edwards including the application of the purchase method of accounting, and restructuring and integration costs may materially adversely affect the market value of our common stock.

     In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), the combined company has accounted for the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the combined company has allocated the total estimated purchase price to J.D. Edwards’ net tangible assets, amortizable intangible assets, and in-process research and development based on their fair values as of the date of completion of the merger, and recorded the excess of the purchase price over those fair values as goodwill. The combined company’s financial results, including earnings per share, could continue to be adversely affected by a number of purchase accounting adjustments required by U.S. GAAP including the following:

    The combined company will incur additional amortization expense over the remainder of the estimated useful lives of certain of the intangible assets acquired in connection with the merger.
 
    The value of goodwill may become impaired and the combined company may be required to incur material charges relating to the impairment of those assets.
 
    Deferred revenues on J.D. Edwards’ balance sheet at the closing of the merger, which predominately represents maintenance revenue, has been reduced to fair value in the post acquisition balance sheet. The impact of this fair value reduction will reduce the amount of deferred maintenance revenue available to be recognized into earnings as a result of the J.D. Edwards acquisition for the remaining term of the related maintenance contracts.
 
    The Company will incur charges to income to eliminate certain PeopleSoft pre-acquisition activities that are duplicative in nature to assumed J.D. Edwards activities or to reduce cost structure.

     Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur, which may adversely affect future financial results.

     We expect to continue to incur additional costs associated with combining the operations of the two companies, which may be substantial. Additional costs that may be incurred relate to employee redeployment or relocation, accelerated amortization of deferred equity compensation and severance payments upon terminating former J.D. Edwards management personnel, employee retention which could include salary increases or bonuses, reorganization or closure of facilities, relocation and disposition of excess equipment, termination of contracts with third parties that provide redundant or conflicting services and other integration costs. We expect to account for these costs either as purchase related adjustments or as expenses that will decrease our net income for the periods in which those adjustments are made.

     These costs may negatively impact earnings, which could have a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock.

     Our stock price may remain volatile.

     The trading price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly in the past. Changes in our business, operations or prospects, ongoing market assessments of the benefits of the merger, regulatory considerations, general market and economic conditions, or other factors may affect the price of our common stock. Many of these factors are beyond our control. The future trading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and could be subject to wide price fluctuations in response to such factors, including:

    the impact of the pending unsolicited Oracle Offer (see below) or any other proposed acquisition of us;
 
    actual or anticipated fluctuations in revenues or operating results, including revenue or results of operations in any quarter failing to meet the expectations, published or otherwise, of the investment community;
 
    announcements of technological innovations by us or our competitors;
 
    introduction and success of new products or significant customer wins or losses by us or our competitors;
 
    developments with respect to our intellectual property rights, including patents, or those of our competitors;
 
    changes in recommendations or financial estimates by securities analysts;
 
    fluctuations in demand for and sales of our products, which will depend on, among other things, the uncertainty regarding success of the merger and operations of the combined company, our customer assurance programCheck to see if this is a new disclosure. If so, we may need to delete it. If old, keep., the acceptance of our products in the marketplace and the general level of spending in the software industry;
 
    rumors or dissemination of false and/or misleading information, particularly through internet chat rooms, instant messaging and other means;
 
    changes in management;
 
    proposed and completed acquisitions or other significant transactions by us or our competitors;
 
    the mix of products and services sold by us;
 
    the timing of significant orders received by us;
 
    conditions and trends in the software industry, or consolidation within the technology industry that may impact our customers, partners, suppliers or competitors;
 
    adoption of new accounting standards, including those affecting the software industry;
 
    acts of war or terrorism; and
 
    general market conditions.

Oracle Corporation’s tender offer to purchase all of our outstanding common stock is disruptive to our business and threatens to adversely affect the Company’s operations and results.

     On June 6, 2003, Oracle announced that it intended to commence a cash tender offer, referred to as the Oracle Offer, to purchase all of our outstanding common stock. Oracle has extended the offering period several times. The Oracle Offer currently expires December 31, 2003. We believe that the Oracle Offer raises significant antitrust concerns that have resulted in a lengthy regulatory review process and could result in protracted litigation. On June 30, 2003, the Department of Justice requested additional information regarding antitrust matters relating to Oracle’s proposed acquisition of PeopleSoft. The delay and uncertainty associated with the continued regulatory review and the uncertainty regarding the outcome of the Oracle Offer could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

     Oracle’s initially stated intentions that were interpreted to reflect its intent to discontinue the development, sale and support of PeopleSoft products if the Oracle Offer is successful have adversely impacted and may continue to adversely impact our ability to attract new customers and have caused and could continue to cause potential or current customers to defer purchases or to cancel existing orders. Oracle’s later statements that it would continue to sell and support PeopleSoft products for some time have resulted in additional confusion for our customers. Moreover, as a result of the Oracle Offer, certain of our suppliers, distributors, and other business partners may seek to change or terminate their relationships with us. These actions may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

35


 

     Additionally, as a consequence of the uncertainty surrounding the Company’s future, our key employees may seek other employment opportunities. Moreover, the Company’s ability to attract and retain new key management, sales, marketing and technical personnel could be harmed. If key employees leave as a result of the Oracle Offer, or the Company is unable to attract or retain qualified personnel, there could be a material adverse effect on the business and the results of operations for PeopleSoft.

     Responding to the Oracle Offer has been, and may continue to be, a major distraction for management of PeopleSoft and require the Company to incur significant costs. Management distraction created by the Oracle Offer may also adversely impact our ability to successfully complete the integration of J.D. Edwards with PeopleSoft. This distraction could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Litigation related to the J.D. Edwards merger and the Oracle Offer may result in significant monetary damages or may otherwise negatively impact the business and operation of PeopleSoft.

     At least fifteen stockholder lawsuits have been filed in Delaware and California state courts against PeopleSoft and certain of our directors and officers alleging breaches of fiduciary duties in connection with the Oracle Offer. The California stockholder lawsuits have been stayed and a motion for preliminary injunction has been filed in one of the Delaware stockholder suits. A purported class action stockholder lawsuit has also been filed against J.D. Edwards’ former directors and officers in Delaware state court alleging breaches of fiduciary duty. On June 18, 2003, Oracle filed a lawsuit against PeopleSoft, the members of our board and J.D. Edwards in the Delaware Chancery Court. The lawsuit alleges breaches of fiduciary duties against us and our board and seeks to enjoin us from continuing to use a recently announced customer assurance program. In addition, other potential lawsuits arising out of the Oracle Offer or the merger could seek rescission of the merger, as well as monetary damages. Fluctuation in the price of PeopleSoft common stock may also expose the Company to the risk of securities class-action lawsuits. Any conclusion of such litigation in a manner adverse to PeopleSoft could have a material adverse effect on the combined company’s businesses, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the cost of defending this litigation, even if resolved favorably, will be substantial. Such litigation could also substantially divert the attention of management and resources in general. Furthermore, uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of any litigation could harm the ability of the combined company to compete in the marketplace. For a more detailed description of the litigation related to the merger and the Oracle Offer, see the discussions under Item 1. Note 10 “Commitments and Contingencies” and Part II - Item 1. “Legal Proceedings”.

We have adopted anti-takeover defenses that could make it difficult for another company to acquire control of PeopleSoft or limit the price investors might be willing to pay for our stock.

     Certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws could delay the removal of incumbent directors and could make a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving us more difficult. These provisions include adoption of a Preferred Shares Rights Agreement (“Rights Agreement”), commonly known as a “poison pill” and giving our board the ability to issue preferred stock and determine the rights and designations of the preferred stock at any time without stockholder approval. The rights of the holders of our common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock. In addition, the staggered terms of our board of directors could have the effect of delaying or deferring a change in control. One of the conditions of the Oracle Offer is the removal or amendment of our Rights Agreement. To date, our board of directors has not agreed to such removal or amendment. We are currently involved in litigation with Oracle and purported stockholders of the Company in which the plaintiffs seek to redeem the Rights issuable under the Rights Agreement or to render the Rights Agreement inapplicable to the proposed acquisition of PeopleSoft by Oracle. In addition, certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL), including Section 203 of the DGCL, may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in the control or management of PeopleSoft. In its current litigation, Oracle also seeks to enjoin our board from taking any action to enforce Section 203 of the DGCL. We can give no assurances as to the ultimate outcome of such litigation.

     The above factors may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or otherwise delaying or preventing changes in the control or management of PeopleSoft, including transactions in which our stockholders might otherwise receive a premium over the fair market value of PeopleSoft’s common stock.

Our future revenue is dependent in part upon our installed customer base continuing to license additional products, renew maintenance agreements and purchase additional professional services.

36


 

     Our installed customer base has traditionally generated additional new license, professional service and maintenance revenues. In future periods, customers may not necessarily license additional products or contract for additional services or maintenance. Maintenance is generally renewable annually at a customer’s option, and there are no mandatory payment obligations or obligations to license additional software. If our customers decide not to renew their maintenance agreements or license additional products or contract for additional services, or if they reduce the scope of the maintenance agreements, our revenues could decrease and our operating results could be adversely affected.

If we fail to introduce new or improved products and service offerings, our results of operations and the financial condition of the business could suffer.

     The market for our software products is intensely competitive and is characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, changes in customer requirements and frequent new product introductions and enhancements. The competitive environment demands that we constantly improve our existing products and create new products. Our future success may depend in part upon our ability to:

    improve our existing products and develop new ones to keep pace with technological developments, including developments related to the internet;
 
    successfully integrate third party products;
 
    enter new markets;
 
    satisfy customer requirements; and
 
    maintain market acceptance.

     If we are unable to meet these challenges, our results of operations and our financial condition may be adversely affected.

Market acceptance of new platforms and operating environments may require us to undergo the expense of developing and maintaining compatible product lines.

     Although our software products can be licensed for use with a variety of popular industry standard relational database management system platforms, there may be future or existing platforms that achieve popularity in the marketplace which may not be architecturally compatible with our software product design. Moreover, future or existing user interfaces that achieve popularity within the business application marketplace may or may not be architecturally compatible with our current software product design. Developing and maintaining consistent software product performance characteristics across all of these combinations could place a significant strain on our resources and software product release schedules which could adversely affect revenue and results of operations. To maintain software performance across accepted platforms and operating environments, or to achieve market acceptance of those that we support, or to adapt to popular new ones, our expenses may increase and our sales and revenues may be adversely affected.

Our margins may be reduced if we need to lower prices or offer other favorable terms to customers on our products and services to meet competitive pressures in our industry.

     We compete with a variety of software vendors in all of our major product lines, including vendors of enterprise application software, manufacturing software applications, CRM applications, human capital management software and financial management solutions software. Some of our competitors may have advantages over us due to their larger worldwide presence, longer operating and product development history, substantially greater technical and marketing resources, or exclusive intellectual property rights. At least one competitor has a larger installed base than we do.

     If competitors offer more favorable pricing, payment or other contractual terms, warranties, or functionality which we do not currently provide, we may need to lower prices or offer other favorable terms in order to successfully compete.

As our international business grows, we will become increasingly subject to currency risks and other costs and contingencies that could adversely affect our results.

37


 

     We continue to invest in the expansion of our international operations. The global reach of our business could cause us to be subject to unexpected, uncontrollable and rapidly changing economic and political conditions that could adversely affect our results of operations. The following factors, among others, present risks that could have an adverse impact on our business:

    conducting business in currencies other than United States dollars subjects us to fluctuations in currency exchange rates and currency controls;
 
    increased cost and development time required to adapt our products to local markets;
 
    lack of experience in a particular geographic market;
 
    legal, regulatory, social, political, labor or economic uncertainties in a specific country or region, including loss or modification of exemptions for taxes and tariffs, increased withholding or other taxes on payments by subsidiaries, import and export license requirements, trade tariffs or restrictions, war, terrorism and civil unrest;
 
    higher operating costs due to local laws or regulation; and
 
    inability to hedge the currency risk in some transactions because of uncertainty or the inability to reasonably estimate our foreign exchange exposure.

Continued regional and/or global economic, political and market conditions may cause a decrease in demand for our software and related services which may negatively affect our revenue and operating results.

     Our revenue and profitability depend on the overall demand for our software, professional services and maintenance. Regional and global changes in the economy, governmental budget deficits and political instability in geographic areas have resulted in companies, government agencies and educational institutions reducing their spending for technology projects generally and delaying or reconsidering potential purchases of our products and related services. The uncertainty posed by the long-term effects of the war in the Middle East and other geopolitical issues may impact the purchasing decisions of current or potential customers. Future declines in demand for our products and/or services could adversely affect our revenues and operating results.

We may be required to undertake a costly redesign of our products if third party software development tools become an industry standard.

     Our software products include a suite of proprietary software development tools, known as PeopleTools®, which are fundamental to their effective use. While no industry standard exists for software development tools, several companies have focused on providing software development tools and each of them is attempting to establish its own as the accepted industry standard. If a software product were to emerge as a clearly established and widely accepted industry standard, we may not be able to adapt PeopleTools appropriately or rapidly enough to satisfy market demand. In addition, we could be forced to abandon or modify PeopleTools or to redesign our software products to accommodate the new industry standard. This would be expensive and time consuming and may adversely affect results of operations and the financial condition of the business. Our failure to drive or adapt to new and changing industry standards or third party interfaces could adversely affect sales of our products and services.

Increased complexity of our software may result in more difficult detection and correction of errors, delays in the introduction of new products and more costly performance and warranty claims.

     Our software programs, like all software programs generally, may contain a number of undetected errors despite internal and third party testing. Increased complexity of our software and more sophisticated expectations of customers may result in higher costs to correct such errors and delay the introduction of new products or enhancements in the marketplace.

     Product software errors could subject us to litigation and liability based on performance and/or warranty claims. Although our agreements contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential liability claims, these provisions could be invalidated by unfavorable judicial decisions or by federal, state, local or foreign laws or regulations. If a claim against us were to be successful, we might be required to incur significant expense and pay substantial damages. Even if we were to prevail, the accompanying publicity could adversely impact the demand for our products.

If we lose access to critical third party software or technology, our costs could increase and the introduction of new products

38


 

and product enhancements could be delayed.

     We license software and technology from third parties, including some competitors, and incorporate it into our own software products, some of which is critical to the operation of our software. If any of the third party software vendors were to change product offerings, increase prices or terminate our licenses, we might need to seek alternative vendors and incur additional internal or external development costs to ensure continued performance of our products. Such alternatives may not be available on attractive terms, or may not be as widely accepted or as effective as the software provided by our existing vendors. If the cost of licensing or maintaining these third party software products or other technology significantly increases, our gross margin levels could significantly decrease. In addition, interruption in functionality of our products could adversely affect future sales of licenses and services.

Disruption of our relationships with third party systems integrators could adversely affect revenues and results of operations.

     We build and maintain strong working relationships with businesses that we believe play an important role in the successful marketing and deployment of our software application products. Our current and potential customers often rely on third party system integrators to develop, deploy and manage applications. We believe that our relationships with these companies enhance our marketing and sales efforts. However, if these system integrators are unable to recruit and adequately train a sufficient number of consulting personnel to support the successful implementation of our software products, we may lose customers. Moreover, our relationships with these companies are not exclusive, and they are free to start, or in some cases increase, the marketing of competitive business application software, or to otherwise discontinue their relationships with us. In addition, integrators who generate consulting fees from customers by providing implementation services may be less likely to recommend our software if our products are more difficult or costly to install than competitors’ similar product offerings. Disruption of our relationships with these companies could adversely affect revenues and results of operations.

We may be unable to achieve the benefits we anticipate from joint software development or marketing arrangements with our business partners.

     We enter into various development or joint business arrangements to develop new software products or extensions to our existing software products. We may distribute ourselves or jointly sell with our business partners an integrated software product and pay a royalty to the business partner based on end-user license fees under these joint business arrangements. While we intend to develop business applications that are integrated with our software products, these software products may in fact not be integrated or brought to market, or the market may reject the integrated enterprise solution. As a result, we may not achieve the revenues that we anticipated at the time we entered into the joint business arrangement.

Our future success depends on our ability to continue to retain and attract qualified employees.

     We believe that our future success depends upon our ability to continue to train, retain, effectively manage and attract highly skilled technical, managerial, sales and marketing personnel. If our efforts in these areas are not successful, our costs may increase, development and sales efforts may be hindered and our customer service may be degraded. Although we invest significant resources in recruiting and retaining employees, there is intense competition for personnel in the software industry. From time to time, we experience difficulties in locating enough highly qualified candidates in desired geographic locations, or with required industry-specific expertise.

The loss of key personnel could have an adverse effect on our operations and stock price.

     We believe that there are certain key employees within the organization, primarily in the senior management team, who are necessary for us to meet our objectives. Due to the competitive employment nature of the software industry, there is a risk that we will not be able to retain these key employees. The loss of one or more key employees could adversely affect our continued operations. In addition, uncertainty created by turnover of key employees could result in reduced confidence in our financial performance which could cause fluctuations in our stock price and result in further turnover of our employees.

If requirements relating to accounting treatment for employee stock options are changed, we may be forced to change our business practices or our earnings may be affected.

     We currently account for the issuance of stock options under APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Certain proposals related to treating the grant of an employee stock option as an expense are currently under consideration by accounting standards organizations and governmental authorities. If such proposals are adopted, the Company’s earnings could be

39


 

negatively impacted. As a result, we may decide to reduce the number of stock options granted to employees or to grant options to fewer employees. This could affect our ability to retain existing employees and attract qualified candidates, and increase the cash compensation we would have to pay to them.

Our quarterly revenues can be difficult to predict and may fluctuate substantially, which may adversely affect our net income.

     Our revenues and results of operations can be difficult to predict and may fluctuate substantially from quarter to quarter. Our operating expense decisions, capital commitments and hiring plans are based on projections of future revenues. If our actual revenues fall below expectations, our net income may be adversely affected. Factors that may affect the predictability of actual revenues include the following:

    the impact of the pending Oracle Offer or any other proposed acquisition of us;
 
    our sales cycle may vary as a result of the complexity of a customer’s overall business needs and may extend over one or more quarters;
 
    the complexity and size of license transactions can result in protracted negotiations;
 
    a significant number of our license agreements are typically completed within the last few weeks of the quarter and purchasing decisions may be delayed to future quarters;
 
    the effect of economic downturns and unstable political conditions may result in decreased product demand, price erosion, and other factors that may substantially reduce license and service revenue;
 
    customers may unexpectedly postpone or cancel anticipated system replacement or new system implementation due to changes in strategic priorities, project objectives, budgetary constraints, internal purchasing processes or company management;
 
    changes in our competitors’ and our own pricing policies and discount plans may affect customer purchasing patterns and decisions;
 
    the number, timing and significance of our competitors’ and our own software product enhancements and new software product announcements may affect purchasing decisions; and
 
    changes in customers’ seasonal purchasing patterns may result in imprecise quarterly revenue projections.

We may be required to defer recognition of license revenue for a significant period of time after entering into an agreement, which could negatively impact our results of operations.

     We may have to delay recognizing license related revenue for a significant period of time for a variety of types of transactions, including:

    transactions that include both currently deliverable software products and software products that are under development or contain other currently undeliverable elements;
 
    transactions where the customer demands services that include significant modifications, customizations or complex interfaces that could delay product delivery or acceptance;
 
    transactions that involve non-standard acceptance criteria or identified product-related performance issues; and
 
    transactions that include contingency-based payment terms or fees.

     These factors and other specific accounting requirements for software revenue recognition, require that we have very precise terms in our license agreements to allow us to recognize revenue when we initially deliver software or perform services. Although we have a standard form of license agreement that meets the criteria for current revenue recognition on delivered elements, we negotiate and revise these terms and conditions in some transactions. Sometimes we may license our software or provide service with terms and conditions that do not permit revenue recognition at the time of delivery or even as work on the project is completed.

40


 

If accounting interpretations relating to revenue recognition change, our reported revenues could decline or we could be forced to make changes in our business practices.

     Over the past several years, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants has issued Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,’’ and SOP 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions.” In addition, in December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” which explains how the SEC staff believes existing revenue recognition rules should be applied to or interpreted for transactions not specifically addressed by existing rules. These standards address software revenue recognition matters primarily from a conceptual level and do not include specific implementation guidance. We believe that our revenue has been recognized in compliance with SOP 97-2, SOP 98-9 and SAB 101.

     The accounting profession and regulatory agencies continue to discuss various provisions of these pronouncements with the objective of providing additional guidance on their application. These discussions and the issuance of new interpretations, once finalized, could lead to unanticipated reductions in recognized revenue. They could also drive significant adjustments to our business practices which could result in increased administrative costs, lengthened sales cycles and other changes which could adversely affect our reported revenues and results of operations.

Increases in service revenue as a percentage of total revenues may decrease overall margins.

     We realize lower margins on services revenue than on license revenues. In addition, we may contract with certain third parties to supplement the services we provide to customers, which generally yields lower gross margins than our service business. As a result, if service revenue increases as a percentage of total revenue or if we increase our use of third parties to provide such services, our gross margins will be lower and our operating results may be impacted.

Our intellectual property and proprietary rights may offer only limited protection.

     We consider certain aspects of our internal operations and our software and documentation to be proprietary, and we primarily rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and other measures to protect our proprietary rights. Patent applications or issued patents, as well as trademark, copyright, and trade secret rights, may not provide significant protection or competitive advantage. We also rely on contractual restrictions in our agreements with customers, employees and others to protect our intellectual property rights. There can be no assurance that these agreements will not be breached, that we have adequate remedies for any breach, or that our patents, copyrights, trademarks or trade secrets will not otherwise become known. Moreover, the laws of some countries do not protect proprietary intellectual property rights as effectively as do the laws of the United States. Protecting and defending our intellectual property rights could be costly regardless of venue.

     Through an escrow arrangement, we have granted some of our customers a contingent future right to use our source code solely for internal maintenance services. If our source code is accessed through an escrow, the likelihood of misappropriation or other misuse of our intellectual property may increase.

Third parties may claim that our products infringe their intellectual property rights, which could result in material costs.

     Third parties may assert infringement claims against us more aggressively in the future, especially in light of recent developments in patent law expanding the scope of patents on software and business methods. These assertions, regardless of their validity, could result in costly and time-consuming litigation, including damage awards, or could require costly redesign of products or present the need to enter into royalty arrangements which would decrease margins and could adversely affect the results of operations. Any such litigation or redesign of products could also negatively impact customer confidence in our products and result in reduced licensing revenue.

Future acquisitions may present risks and we may be unable to achieve the product, financial or strategic goals intended at the time of any acquisition.

     As a component of our strategy, in addition to our acquisition of J.D. Edwards, we may acquire or invest in companies, products or technologies, and may enter into joint ventures and strategic alliances with other companies. The risks we commonly encounter in such transactions include:

41


 

    difficulty assimilating the operations and personnel of the acquired company;
 
    difficulty effectively integrating the acquired technologies or products with our current products and technologies;
 
    difficulty in maintaining controls, procedures and policies during the transition and integration;
 
    ongoing business may be disrupted by transition and integration issues;
 
    key technical and managerial personnel from the acquired business may not be able to be retained;
 
    the financial and strategic goals for the acquired and combined businesses may not be achieved;
 
    relationships with partner companies or third party providers of technology or products could be adversely affected;
 
    relationships with employees and customers could be impaired;
 
    due diligence processes may fail to identify significant issues with product quality, product architecture, legal and financial contingencies, and product development, among other things; and
 
    significant exit charges may be sustained if products acquired in business combinations are unsuccessful.

42


 

It may become increasingly expensive to obtain and maintain liability insurance at current levels.

     We contract for insurance to cover a variety of potential risks and liabilities. In the current market, insurance coverage is becoming more restrictive, and when insurance coverage is offered, the deductible for which we are responsible is larger. In light of these circumstances, it may become more difficult to maintain insurance coverage at historical levels, or if such coverage is available, the cost to obtain or maintain it may increase substantially. This may result in our being forced to bear the burden of an increased portion of risks for which we have traditionally been covered by insurance, which could negatively impact our results of operations.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

       PeopleSoft Stockholder Actions — Delaware Court of Chancery

       On June 6, 2003, Felix Ezeir (Case No. 20349-NC), Teresita Fay (Case No. 20350-NC), Robert Crescente (Case No. 20351-NC), Robert Corwin (Case No. 20352-NC) and Ernest Hack (Case No. 20353-NC), all of whom purport to be stockholders of the Company, each filed a putative stockholder class action suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery against the Company and several of its officers and directors. The suits allege that defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Company’s response to the tender offer purportedly announced by Oracle Corporation on June 6, 2003. Plaintiffs in each of the actions seek injunctive relief and an accounting. On June 10, 2003, an action was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery against these same defendants by Steven Padness (Case No. 20358-NC), making similar allegations and seeking similar relief. On June 12, 2003, an action was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery against these same defendants by Thomas Nemes (Case No. 20365-NC), making similar allegations and seeking similar relief (the “Nemes Action”). The Nemes Action was amended on June 18, 2003, to include allegations and seeking relief similar to those in the above-referenced actions.
 
       On June 25, 2003, on an application filed in the Nemes Action, the Court consolidated the actions listed above under a single caption and case number: In re PeopleSoft, Inc. Shareholder Litigation, Consol. C.A. No. 20365-NC. Defendants filed their Answer on June 25, 2003.
 
       Document discovery has commenced in these consolidated actions and is coordinated with the discovery in the action filed against the Company by Oracle, discussed below.
 
       On July 2, 2003, Richard Hutchings (Case No. 20403-NC) filed a putative stockholder class action suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery against the Company and several of its officers and directors. The suit alleges that defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Company’s response to Oracle’s tender offer purportedly announced on June 6, 2003. Plaintiff seeks injunctive relief, an accounting and damages. On July 22, 2003, the Court ordered that this action be consolidated with the other putative shareholder actions listed above.
 
       On June 27, 2003, Milton Pfeiffer (Case No. 20390-NC), who purports to be a stockholder of J.D. Edwards, filed a putative class action against J.D. Edwards and several of its officers and directors, alleging that defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the amendment of the merger agreement between J.D. Edwards and the Company. Plaintiff seeks injunctive relief, an accounting and damages. Defendants moved to dismiss or stay the action on the grounds, inter alia, that Pfeiffer is not a proper plaintiff. In response, on July 24, 2003, Pfeiffer amended his complaint, adding as a plaintiff Ward Quarles, who also purports to be a stockholder of J.D. Edwards. On August 28, 2003, plaintiffs filed a Notice of Dismissal, dismissing Case No. 20390-NC.
 
       On November 6, 2003, plaintiffs in the Delaware Shareholder Litigation, filed a motion for preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin defendant PeopleSoft, and its directors, officers and employees from continuing the Company’s Customer Assurance Program. In their motion, plaintiffs assert that the terms of the revised Customer Assurance Program constitute a disproportionate and unreasonable response to any perceived threat from Oracle’s outstanding tender offer.

       Oracle v. PeopleSoft — Delaware Court of Chancery

       On June 18, 2003, Oracle filed a suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery (Case No. 20377-NC) against the Company, several of the Company’s directors (the “Director Defendants”), and J.D. Edwards, alleging that the Director Defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Company’s response to Oracle’s tender offer commenced on June 9 and amended June 18, 2003, and that J.D. Edwards aided and abetted such directors’ purported breach of fiduciary duty. Oracle seeks injunctive, declaratory and rescissory relief. On June 25, 2003, defendants filed their Answer. A hearing on a motion for preliminary injunction was scheduled for July 16, 2003, but was postponed upon the request of Oracle. On July 25, 2003, Oracle advised the Court that, in light of the second request for further information it received from the antitrust division of the United States Department of Justice regarding its tender offer, it did not believe it appropriate to set a hearing date at this time. Document discovery has commenced in this litigation.
 
       The Company believes that the claims and allegations asserted in this action are without merit, and intends vigorously to

  defend against this lawsuit.
 
  On November 10, 2003, Oracle filed a motion for preliminary injunction, which is consolidated with the Delaware Shareholder Litigation in the Court of Chancery. In its motion for preliminary injunction, Oracle similarly seeks to enjoin the PeopleSoft defendants from continuing to offer to customers the terms contained in the revised Customer Assurance Program. On the same date, Oracle also filed motions seeking leave of Court to amend its Complaint and to expedite its motion for a preliminary injunction. The Court of Chancery has scheduled a hearing for November 19, 2003 to consider plaintiffs’ and Oracle’s motions to expedite consideration of their preliminary injunction applications.
 
  PeopleSoft Stockholder Actions — California Superior Court for the County of Alameda
 
       On June 6, 2003, separate actions were filed in the California Superior Court for the County of Alameda by Doris Staehr (Case No. RG03100291), the West Virginia Laborers Pension Trust Fund (Case No. RG03100306), Lorrie McBride (Case No. RG03100300), and Ray Baldi (Case No. RG03100696) (collectively the “Initial Alameda Stockholder Actions”), all of whom purport to be stockholders of the Company, against several of the Company’s executive officers and directors. The suits allege that defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with (i) the Company’s response to Oracle’s tender offer announced on June 6, 2003, (ii) the Company’s agreement to acquire J.D. Edwards, and (iii) the implementation of the 2003 Directors Stock Plan, which was approved by Company stockholders at the 2003 Annual Meeting. Plaintiffs seek injunctive, rescissory and declaratory relief. On June 16, 2003, the Initial Alameda Stockholder Actions were consolidated. On June 11, 2003, two additional actions were filed by Moshe Panzer (Case No. RG03100876) and Arace Brothers (Case No. RG03100830) asserting similar claims. By Order dated July 10, 2003, the Panzer and Arace actions were consolidated with the Initial Alameda Stockholder Actions (collectively “the Alameda Stockholder Actions”).
 
       By Order dated June 18, 2003, the Alameda County Superior Court granted the Company’s Motion to Stay the Initial Alameda Stockholder Actions pending resolution of the claims involving the duties of the defendant directors by the Delaware Court of Chancery. By Order dated July 10, 2003, the Alameda County Superior Court also stayed the Panzer and Arace Brothers cases pursuant to the June 18, 2003 Order in the Initial Alameda Stockholder Actions. Accordingly, all of the Alameda Stockholder Actions are stayed by order of the Court.
 
       The Company believes that the claims and allegations asserted in each of the foregoing putative class action suits are without merit, and intends to vigorously defend against these lawsuits.

        J.D. Edwards v. Oracle — California Superior Court in the County of San Mateo

       On June 12, 2003, J.D. Edwards filed a suit in California Superior Court in the County of San Mateo against Oracle and two of its executives (Case No. CIV 431969) alleging violations of California’s Business and Professions Code Section 17200 et seq., intentional interference with prospective economic advantage and negligent interference with prospective economic advantage. The suit seeks compensatory damages and a preliminary and permanent injunction enjoining defendants from proceeding with Oracle’s proposed tender offer, taking or attempting to take any other steps to acquire control of the Company or J.D. Edwards, and otherwise interfering with the completion of the proposed merger acquisition of J.D. Edwards by the Company. Pursuant to the agreement of the parties and stipulated scheduling orders, discovery is being coordinated with discovery in the Delaware actions described above. On August 12, 2003, PeopleSoft announced that it intended to consolidate the J.D. Edwards actions with PeopleSoft’s suit against Oracle filed in Alameda County and that it intended to dismiss Case No. CIV 431969. On August 15, 2003, Case No. CIV 431969 was dismissed.

        J.D. Edwards v. Oracle — Colorado State Court

       On June 12, 2003, J.D. Edwards filed a suit in Colorado State Court against Oracle and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pepper Acquisition Corp. (Case No. 03CV4270), alleging claims for tortious interference with contract and prospective business relations. The suit seeks, among other things, compensatory damages of $1.8 billion and an unspecified amount of punitive damages. Oracle has moved to dismiss this complaint, and a response from J.D. Edwards was due on August 18, 2003. Pursuant to the agreement of the parties and stipulated scheduling orders, discovery is being coordinated with discovery in the Delaware actions described above. On August 12, 2003, PeopleSoft announced that it intended to consolidate the J.D. Edwards’ actions with PeopleSoft’s suit against Oracle filed in Alameda County and that it intended to dismiss Case No. 03CV4270. On August 18, 2003, Case No. 03CV4270 was dismissed.

        PeopleSoft v. Oracle — California Superior Court for the County of Alameda

       On June 13, 2003, the Company filed a suit in the California Superior Court for the County of Alameda against Oracle and Pepper Acquisition Corp. (Case No. RG03101434). The Company alleges that, in connection with Oracle’s proposed tender offer, the defendants have engaged in: (i) false advertising and unfair trade practices in violation of California’s Business and Professions Code; (ii) acts of unlawful interference with the Company’s contracts with its customers; (iii) acts of unlawful interference with the Company’s relationships with its prospective customers; and (iv) acts of unlawful

45


 

  disparagement of the Company’s products and services. The Company seeks an injunction precluding defendants’ unfair trade practices and other unlawful actions, and prohibiting the defendants from proceeding further with the tender offer. The Company also requests restitution and damages. On August 12, 2003, the Company filed an amended complaint, alleging extensive new facts about Oracle management’s ongoing acts of unfair trade practices, including its efforts to disrupt PeopleSoft’s customer relationships. The complaint contains new information concerning Oracle’s alleged deliberate campaign to mislead PeopleSoft customers about Oracle’s plans to support PeopleSoft products. The amended complaint consolidated the Company’s claims and those of J.D. Edwards against Oracle and Pepper Acquisition Corp. into a single lawsuit. The amended complaint continues to seek injunctive relief, restitution and damages. On September 11, 2003, Oracle demurred to the amended complaint, seeking to dismiss it, but was unsuccessful. Pursuant to a court order dated November 5, 2003, a second amended complaint is due to be filed on November 21, 2003. Discovery in this action is proceeding.

-iv- BYLAWS OF PEOPLESOFT, INC. (As Amended and Restated as of November 5, 2003) ARTICLE I CORPORATE OFFICES 1.1 REGISTERED OFFICE The registered office of the corporation shall be in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, State of Delaware. The name of the registered agent of the corporation at such location is The Corporation Trust Company. 1.2 OTHER OFFICES The board of directors may at any time establish other offices at any place or places where the corporation is qualified to do business. ARTICLE II MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS 2.1 PLACE OF MEETINGS Meetings of stockholders shall be held at any place, within or outside the State of Delaware, designated by the board of directors. In the absence of any such designation, stockholders' meetings shall be held at the registered office of the corporation. The board of directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that any such meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication in accordance with Section 211(a)(2) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware. If authorized by the board of directors in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the board of directors may adopt, stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication (a) participate in a meeting of stockholders, -1- and (b) be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that (i) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder, (ii) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (iii) if any stockholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the corporation. 2.2 ANNUAL MEETING The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held each year on a date and at a time designated by the board of directors. At the meeting, directors shall be elected and any other proper business may be transacted. 2.3 SPECIAL MEETING A special meeting of the stockholders may be called at any time by the board of directors, or by the chairman of the board, or by the president. No other person or persons are permitted to call a special meeting. No business may be conducted at a special meeting other than the business brought before the meeting by the board of directors or the chairman of the board or the president. 2.4 NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS' MEETINGS All notices of meetings with stockholders shall be in writing and shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with these bylaws not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. The notice shall specify the place, if any, the date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which the stockholders or proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. 2.5 MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE; AFFIDAVIT OF NOTICE Written notice of any meeting of stockholders, if mailed, is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder's post office or street address as it appears on the records of the corporation, and if transmitted by electronic means, is given when such electronic transmission is transmitted to the stockholder at such stockholder's electronic mail address as it appears on the records of the corporation. An affidavit of the secretary -2- or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. Notice shall be deemed to have been given to all stockholders of record who share a post office or street or electronic mail address if notice is given in accordance with the "householding" rules set forth in Rule 14a-3(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"). 2.6 QUORUM The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by statute or by the certificate of incorporation. If, however, such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (i) the chairman of the meeting or (ii) the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. 2.7 ADJOURNED MEETING; NOTICE When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, unless these bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting in the manner set forth in Section 2.5. 2.8 CONDUCT OF BUSINESS The chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of business. The board of directors of the corporation shall be entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient. Subject to such rules and regulations of the board of directors, if any, the chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation: establishing an agenda or order of business for -3- the meeting; rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; limitations on participation in such meeting to stockholders of record and others as the chairman shall permit; restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants; and regulation of the opening and closing of the polls for balloting and matters which are to be voted on by ballot. Unless and to the extent determined by the board of directors or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure. 2.9 VOTING The stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 of these bylaws, subject to the provisions of Sections 217 and 218 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (relating to voting rights of fiduciaries, pledgors and joint owners of stock and to voting trusts and other voting agreements). Except as may be otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder. 2.10 WAIVER OF NOTICE Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the General Corporation Law of Delaware or of the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws. 2.11 STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action required by this chapter to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of a corporation, or any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. -4- Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing. If the action which is consented to is such as would have required the filing of a certificate under any section of the General Corporation Law of Delaware if such action had been voted on by stockholders at a meeting thereof, then the certificate filed under such section shall state, in lieu of any statement required by such section concerning any vote of stockholders, that written notice and written consent have been given as provided in Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware. 2.12 RECORD DATE FOR STOCKHOLDER NOTICE; VOTING; GIVING CONSENTS In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the board of directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. If the board of directors does not so fix a record date: (i) The record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. (ii) The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the board of directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. 2.13 PROXIES Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by a written proxy, signed by the stockholder and filed with the secretary of the corporation, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be deemed signed if the stockholder's name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewriting, telegraphic transmission or otherwise) by the stockholder or the stockholder's attorney-in-fact. The revocability of a proxy that -5- states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212(c) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware. 2.14 LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS ENTITLED TO VOTE The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of a corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the post office or street address, or electronic mail address if applicable, of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Nothing contained in this Section shall require the corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the corporation. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them. In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. 2.15 ADVANCE NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDER NOMINEES Nominations of persons for election to the board of directors of the corporation may be made at a meeting of stockholders by or at the discretion of the board of directors or by any stockholder of the corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors at the meeting who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section.

No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section. The chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these bylaws, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare at the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded. 2.16 ADVANCE NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDER BUSINESS At the annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be: (a) as specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the board of directors, (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board of directors, or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder.

To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to the principal executive offices of the corporation not less than forty-five (45) days prior to the date on which the corporation first mailed proxy materials for the prior year's annual meeting; provided, however, that if the corporation's annual meeting of stockholders occurs on a date more than thirty (30) days earlier or later than the corporation's prior year's annual meeting, then the corporation's board of directors shall determine a date a reasonable period prior to the corporation's annual meeting of stockholders by which date the stockholder's notice must be delivered and publicize such date in a filing pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or via press release.

The chairman of the annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting and in accordance with the provisions of this Section, and, if he should so determine, he shall so declare at the meeting that any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted. ARTICLE III DIRECTORS 3.1 POWERS Subject to the provisions of the General Corporation Law of Delaware and any limitations in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws relating to action required to be approved by the stockholders or by the outstanding shares, the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the board of directors. 3.2 NUMBER OF DIRECTORS The Board of Directors shall consist of eight (8) persons until changed by a proper amendment of this Section 3.2. -8- No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before that director's term of office expires. 3.3 ELECTION, QUALIFICATION AND TERM OF OFFICE OF DIRECTORS Except as provided in Section 3.4 of these bylaws, directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders to hold office until the next annual meeting unless specified otherwise in the certificate of incorporation. Directors need not be stockholders unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, wherein other qualifications for directors may be prescribed. Each director, including a director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot. 3.4 RESIGNATION AND VACANCIES Any director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to the secretary of the corporation. When one or more directors so resigns and the resignation is effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director so chosen shall hold office as provided in this section in the filling of other vacancies. Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws: (i) Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors elected by all of the stockholders having the right to vote as a single class may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. (ii) Whenever the holders of any class or classes of stock or series thereof are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, vacancies and newly created directorships of such class or classes or series may be filled by a majority of the directors elected by such class or classes or series thereof then in office, or by a sole remaining director so elected. If at any time, by reason of death or resignation or other cause, the corporation should have no directors in office, then any officer or any stockholder or an executor, administrator, trustee or guardian of a stockholder, or other fiduciary entrusted with like responsibility for the person or estate of a stockholder, may call a special meeting of stockholders in accordance with the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, or may apply to the Court of Chancery for a decree -9- summarily ordering an election as provided in Section 211 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware. If, at the time of filling any vacancy or any newly created directorship, the directors then in office constitute less than a majority of the whole board (as constituted immediately prior to any such increase), then the Court of Chancery may, upon application of any stockholder or stockholders holding at least ten (10) percent of the total number of the shares at the time outstanding having the right to vote for such directors, summarily order an election to be held to fill any such vacancies or newly created directorships, or to replace the directors chosen by the directors then in office as aforesaid, which election shall be governed by the provisions of Section 211 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware as far as applicable. 3.5 PLACE OF MEETINGS; MEETINGS BY TELEPHONE The board of directors of the corporation may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or outside the State of Delaware. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, members of the board of directors, or any committee designated by the board of directors, may participate in a meeting of the board of directors, or any committee, by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting. 3.6 REGULAR MEETINGS Regular meetings of the board of directors may be held without notice at such time and at such place as shall from time to time be determined by the board. 3.7 SPECIAL MEETINGS; NOTICE Special meetings of the board of directors for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the chairman of the board, the president, any vice president, the secretary or any two (2) directors. Notice of the time and place of special meetings shall be delivered personally or by telephone to each director or sent by first-class mail or telegram, charges prepaid, or by electronic transmission, addressed to each director at that director's post office or street address, or electronic mail address if applicable, as it is shown on the records of the corporation. If the notice is mailed, it shall be deposited in the United States mail at least four (4) days before the time of the holding of the meeting. If the notice is delivered personally or by telephone, by telegram, or by electronic transmission, it shall be delivered personally or by telephone or to the telegraph company or by -10- electronic transmission at least forty-eight (48) hours before the time of the holding of the meeting. Any oral notice given personally or by telephone may be communicated either to the director or to a person at the office of the director who the person giving the notice has reason to believe will promptly communicate it to the director. The notice need not specify the purpose or the place of the meeting, if the meeting is to be held at the principal executive office of the corporation. 3.8 QUORUM At all meetings of the board of directors, a majority of the authorized number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the board of directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute or by the certificate of incorporation. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the board of directors, then the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present. A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for that meeting. 3.9 WAIVER OF NOTICE Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the General Corporation Law of Delaware or of the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the directors, or members of a committee of directors, need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws. 3.10 BOARD ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the board of directors, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission and the writing or writings or electronic transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the board or committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form or shall be in electronic form if the -11- minutes are maintained in electronic form. 3.11 FEES AND COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the board of directors shall have the authority to fix the compensation of directors. 3.12 REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS Unless otherwise restricted by statute, by the certificate of incorporation or by these bylaws, any director or the entire board of directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors; provided, however, that, so long as stockholders of the corporation are entitled to cumulative voting, if less than the entire board is to be removed, no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against his or her removal would be sufficient to elect such director if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire board of directors. No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director prior to the expiration of such director's term of office. ARTICLE IV COMMITTEES 4.1 COMMITTEES OF DIRECTORS The board of directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole board, designate one or more committees, with each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the corporation. The board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the board of directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the board of directors or in the bylaws of the corporation, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the board of directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation, and may authorize the seal of the corporation to be affixed to all papers that may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority to (i) amend the certificate of incorporation (except that a committee may, to the extent authorized in the resolution or -12- resolutions providing for the issuance of shares of stock adopted by the board of directors as provided in Section 151(a) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, fix the designations and any of the preferences or rights of such shares relating to dividends, redemption, dissolution, any distribution of assets of the corporation or the conversion into, or the exchange of such shares for, shares of any other class or classes or any other series of the same or any other class or classes of stock of the corporation or fix the number of shares of any series of stock or authorize the increase or decrease of the shares of any series), (ii) adopt an agreement of merger or consolidation under Sections 251 or 252 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, (iii) recommend to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the corporation's property and assets, (iv) recommend to the stockholders a dissolution of the corporation or a revocation of a dissolution, or (v) amend the bylaws of the corporation; and, unless the board resolution establishing the committee, the bylaws or the certificate of incorporation expressly so provide, no such committee shall have the power or authority to declare a dividend, to authorize the issuance of stock, or to adopt a certificate of ownership and merger pursuant to Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware. 4.2 COMMITTEE MINUTES Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the board of directors when required. 4.3 MEETINGS AND ACTION OF COMMITTEES Meetings and actions of committees shall be governed by, and held and taken in accordance with, the provisions of Article III of these bylaws, Section 3.5 (Place of Meetings; Meetings by Telephone), Section 3.6 (Regular Meetings), Section 3.7 (Special Meetings; Notice), Section 3.8 (Quorum), Section 3.9 (Waiver of Notice), and Section 3.10 (Board Action by Written Consent Without a Meeting), with such changes in the context of those bylaws as are necessary to substitute the committee and its members for the board of directors and its members; provided, however, that the time of regular meetings of committees may be determined either by resolution of the board of directors or by resolution of the committee, that special meetings of committees may also be called by resolution of the board of directors and that notice of special meetings of committees shall also be given to all alternate members, who shall have the right to attend all meetings of the committee.

ARTICLE VI INDEMNITY 6.1 THIRD PARTY ACTIONS The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the corporation, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. -18- 6.2 ACTIONS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the corporation, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, no person shall be indemnified hereunder for any expenses or amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action to recover short-swing profits under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, as amended. 6.3 SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 6.1 and 6.2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection therewith. 6.4 DETERMINATION OF CONDUCT Any indemnification under Sections 6.1 and 6.2 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that the indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2. Such determination shall be made (1) by the board of directors or the executive committee, if any, by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding or (2) or if such quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation shall be entitled to contest any -19- determination that the director, officer, employee or agent has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 by petitioning a court of competent jurisdiction. 6.5 PAYMENT OF EXPENSES IN ADVANCE Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding, by an individual who may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.2, shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the individual is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article VI. 6.6 INDEMNITY NOT EXCLUSIVE The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to the other sections of this Article VI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in their official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. 6.7 INSURANCE INDEMNIFICATION The corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by the person in any such capacity or arising out of the person's status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article VI. 6.8 THE CORPORATION For purposes of this Article VI, references to "the corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under and subject to the provisions of this Article VI (including, without limitation the -20- provisions of Section 6.4) with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as the person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. 6.9 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS For purposes of this Article VI, references to "other enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request of the corporation" shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the corporation" as referred to in this Article VI. 6.10 CONTINUATION OF INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VI shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. ARTICLE VII RECORDS AND REPORTS 7.1 MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF RECORDS The corporation shall, either at its principal executive officer or at such place or places as designated by the board of directors, keep a record of its stockholders listing their names and post office or street addresses, or electronic mail addresses if applicable, and the number and class of shares held by each stockholder, a copy of these bylaws as amended to date, accounting books, and other records. Any stockholder of record, in person or by attorney or other agent, shall, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, have the right during the usual hours for business of the corporation to inspect for any proper purpose the corporation's stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records and to make copies or extracts therefrom. A proper purpose shall mean a purpose reasonably related to such person's interest as a stockholder. In every -21- instance where an attorney or other agent is the person who seeks the right to inspection, the demand under oath shall be accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing that authorizes the attorney or other agent so to act on behalf of the stockholder. The demand under oath shall be directed to the corporation at its registered office in Delaware or at its principal place of business. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the post office or street address, or electronic mail address if applicable, of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. 7.2 INSPECTION BY DIRECTORS Any director shall have the right to examine the corporation's stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records for a purpose reasonably related to his position as a director. The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with the exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether a director is entitled to the inspection sought. The Court may summarily order the corporation to permit the director to inspect any and all books and records, the stock ledger, and the stock list and to make copies or extracts therefrom. The Court may, in its discretion, prescribe any limitations or conditions with reference to the inspection, or award such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper. 7.3 ANNUAL STATEMENT TO STOCKHOLDERS The board of directors shall present at each annual meeting, and at any special meeting of the stockholders when called for by vote of the stockholders, a full and clear statement of the business and condition of the corporation. -22- ARTICLE VIII GENERAL MATTERS 8.1 CHECKS From time to time, the board of directors shall determine by resolution which person or persons may sign or endorse all checks, drafts, other orders for payment of money, notes or other evidences of indebtedness that are issued in the name of or payable to the corporation, and only the persons so authorized shall sign or endorse those instruments. 8.2 EXECUTION OF CORPORATE CONTRACTS AND INSTRUMENTS The board of directors, except as otherwise provided in these bylaws, may authorize any officer or officers, or agent or agents, to enter into any contract or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the corporation; such authority may be general or confined to specific instances. Unless so authorized or ratified by the board of directors or within the agency power of an officer, no officer, agent or employee shall have any power or authority to bind the corporation by any contract or engagement or to pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose or for any amount. 8.3 STOCK CERTIFICATES; PARTLY PAID SHARES The shares of the corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the board of directors of the corporation may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the corporation. Notwithstanding the adoption of such a resolution by the board of directors, every holder of stock represented by certificates and upon request every holder of uncertificated shares shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of the corporation by the chairman or vice-chairman of the board of directors, or the president or vice-president, and by the chief financial officer or an assistant treasurer, or the secretary or an assistant secretary of such corporation representing the number of shares registered in certificate form. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if the person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. The corporation may issue the whole or any part of its shares as partly paid and subject to call for the remainder of the consideration to be paid therefor. Upon the face or back of each stock -23- certificate issued to represent any such partly paid shares, upon the books and records of the corporation in the case of uncertificated partly paid shares, the total amount of the consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon shall be stated. Upon the declaration of any dividend on fully paid shares, the corporation shall declare a dividend upon partly paid shares of the same class, but only upon the basis of the percentage of the consideration actually paid thereon. 8.4 SPECIAL DESIGNATION ON CERTIFICATES If the corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, then the powers, the designations, the preferences, and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 202 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, in lieu of the foregoing requirements there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock a statement that the corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, the designations, the preferences, and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights. 8.5 LOST CERTIFICATES Except as provided in this Section 8.5, no new certificates for shares shall be issued to replace a previously issued certificate unless the latter is surrendered to the corporation and canceled at the same time. The corporation may issue a new certificate of stock or uncertificated shares in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the corporation may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or the owner's legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares. 8.6 CONSTRUCTION; DEFINITIONS Unless the context requires otherwise, the general provisions, rules of construction and definitions in the General Corporation Law of Delaware shall govern the construction of these bylaws. Without limiting the generality of this provision, the singular number includes the plural, the plural number includes the singular, and the term "person" includes both a corporation and a natural person. -24- 8.7 DIVIDENDS The directors of the corporation, subject to any restrictions contained in (i) the General Corporation Law of Delaware or (ii) the certificate of incorporation, may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital stock. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property or in shares of the corporation's capital stock. The directors of the corporation may set apart out of any of the funds of the corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and may abolish any such reserve. Such purposes shall include but not be limited to equalizing dividends, repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation, and meeting contingencies. 8.8 FISCAL YEAR The fiscal year of the corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the board of directors and may be changed by the board of directors. 8.9 SEAL The corporation may adopt a corporate seal, which shall be adopted and which may be altered by the board of directors, and may use the same by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or in any other manner reproduced. 8.10 TRANSFER OF STOCK Upon surrender to the corporation or the transfer agent of the corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignation or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate, and record the transaction in its books. 8.11 STOCK TRANSFER AGREEMENTS The corporation shall have power to enter into and perform any agreement with any number of stockholders of any one or more classes of stock of the corporation to restrict the transfer of shares of stock of the corporation of any one or more classes owned by such stockholders in any manner not prohibited by the General Corporation Law of Delaware. -25- 8.12 REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS The corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends and to vote as such owner, shall be entitled to hold liable for calls and assessments the person registered on its books as the owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of another person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware. ARTICLE IX AMENDMENTS The bylaws of the corporation may be adopted, amended or repealed by the stockholders entitled to vote; provided, however, that the corporation may, in its certificate of incorporation, confer the power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws upon the directors. The fact that such power has been so conferred upon the directors shall not divest the stockholders of the power, nor limit their power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws. -26-
