See accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. 5 UNIFY CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INVESTIGATION AND RESTATEMENT In June 2000, certain matters came to the attention of the Company's Board of Directors that indicated that the Company had engaged in improper accounting practices. The Company's Board of Directors authorized its Audit Committee to conduct an investigation of the Company's accounting and financial reporting practices and to recommend remedial action, if any, as a result of the findings of their investigation. In July 2000, in connection with the ongoing investigation, the Company placed its chief executive officer and its chief financial officer on administrative leave, and in November 2000, the Company terminated its chief executive officer and its chief financial officer resigned. Based on the results of the Audit Committee's investigation, the Company concluded that revenue, and in some cases expenses, had been improperly accounted for in certain transactions during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000, primarily related to the following: - Reciprocal agreement transactions for which there was insufficient support for the fair market valuation of inventory, funded development activities, or consulting services received by the Company, or equity investments made by the Company in connection with the Company delivering products or providing services. - Improper application of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition ("SOP 97-2") in which all of the conditions for revenue recognition required by SOP 97-2 had not been met. - Contingent revenue transactions in which sales of software, services and other related items were contingent upon future events, including contingencies that were contained in side agreements. - Service revenue which was recognized during the first month of the contract, rather than ratably over the term of the contract in accordance with SOP 97-2 - Other adjustments, including insufficiently supported journal entries and improper recording of marketing co-operative agreements. The investigation also identified commissions, bonuses and other payments made to the Company's former chief executive officer during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000, which the Company believes were not appropriate. Such amounts have been charged to expense in that fiscal year; however, the Company is seeking to have the amounts repaid by the former chief executive officer. The investigation also included a review of transactions in earlier fiscal years. After evaluating information from the results of the investigation, the Company concluded that its financial statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1999 and earlier years were not materially misstated. Also, the Company concluded that the effect on the financial statements for fiscal year 6 UNIFY CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2000 of adjustments relating to transactions of earlier years not being made in those years is not material. As a result of the investigation, the Company has restated its condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended January 31, 2000 from amounts previously reported to appropriately account for the transactions referred to above. The following summarizes the significant effects of the restatement on the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months and nine months ended January 31, 2000 (in thousands, except per share amounts)
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended January 31, 2000 January 31, 2000 ------------------ ----------------- As As As As Reported Restated Reported Restated ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total Revenue $ 10,101 $ 4,991 $ 28,025 $ 15,887 Gross Margin $ 8,640 $ 3,997 $ 23,776 $ 12,182 Net Income (Loss) $ 2,775 $ (1,107) $ 6,663 $ (3,930) Basic Earnings (Loss) per share $ 0.15 $ (0.06) $ 0.37 $ (0.22) Diluted Earnings (loss) per share $ 0.14 $ (0.06) $ 0.35 $ (0.22) As of January 31, 2000 ---------------------- As As Reported Restated ---------- ---------- Total Current Assets $ 25,858 $ 20,016 Total Current Liabilities $ 7,769 $ 12,215 Total Stockholders' Equity $ 21,112 $ 10,512 Total Assets $ 30,187 $ 22,727
BASIS OF PRESENTATION The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Unify Corporation (the "Company") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). While the interim financial information contained in this filing is unaudited, such financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, together with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000 and 1999 as filed with the SEC. 2. NOTES DUE TO MINORITY INTEREST STOCKHOLDERS In September 1995, Unify Japan entered into a 100 million yen loan agreement with a bank affiliated with Sumitomo Metals Industries, Ltd. ("SMI"). The loan bears interest at the Tokyo International Bank Offered Rate ("TIBOR") plus 50 basis points (approximately 1% at October 31, 1999), and is secured by the assets of Unify Japan. 7 UNIFY CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3. EARNINGS PER SHARE SFAS No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE, requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share ("EPS"). Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock (e.g. convertible preferred stock, warrants, and common stock options) were exercised or converted into common stock. The effect of dilutive securities (stock options) is excluded in the diluted EPS computation for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2000 as their effect would be antidilutive. The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the periods indicated (in thousands, except per share amounts):

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, together with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1999 and 2000 as filed with the SEC. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Unify develops, markets and supports Internet software that extends business applications to the Web. The Company provides features-rich products and services for organizations growing their business on the Web, based on open, Java technologies. Unify's products provide enterprise, scalable and affordable software for building and managing online applications. The Company's flagship product line, Unify eWave, includes a Web application server, enterprise application server and commerce framework built on the the Java 2 Enterprise Edition ("J2EE") platform technology. These products are designed to enable developers to rapidly build production-ready, scalable Internet and e-commerce applications that are easy to manage and run with minimal down-time. In June 2000, certain matters came to the attention of the Company's Board of Directors that indicated that the Company had engaged in improper accounting practices. The Company's Board of Directors authorized its Audit Committee to conduct an investigation of the Company's accounting and financial reporting practices and to recommend remedial action, if any, as a result of the findings of its investigation. In July 2000, in connection with the ongoing investigation, the Company placed its chief executive officer and its chief financial officer on administrative leave, and in November 2000, the Company terminated its chief executive officer and its chief financial officer resigned. Based on the results of the Audit Committee's investigation, the Company concluded that revenue, and in some cases expenses, had been improperly accounted for in certain transactions during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000, primarily related to the following: 9 UNIFY CORPORATION - Reciprocal agreement transactions for which there was insufficient support for the fair market valuation of inventory, funded development activities, or consulting services received by the Company, or equity investments made by the Company in connection with the Company delivering products or providing services. - Improper application of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition ("SOP 97-2") in which all of the conditions for revenue recognition required by SOP 97-2 had not been met. - Contingent revenue transactions in which sales of software, services and other related items were contingent upon future events, including contingencies that were contained in side agreements. - Service revenue which was recognized during the first month of the contract, rather than ratably over the term of the contract in accordance with SOP 97-2. - Other adjustments including insufficiently supported journal entries and improper recording of marketing co-operative agreements. The investigation also identified commissions, bonuses and other payments made to the Company's former chief executive officer during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000, which the Company believes were not appropriate. Such payments have been charged to expense in that fiscal year; however, the Company is seeking to have the amounts repaid by the former chief executive officer. The investigation also included a review of transactions in earlier fiscal years. After evaluating information from the results of the investigation, the Company concluded that its financial statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1999 and earlier years were not materially misstated. Also, the Company concluded that the effect on the financial statements for fiscal year 2000 of adjustments relating to transactions of earlier years not being made in those years is not material. REVENUES The Company's strategy is to market and enhance its e-commerce and Internet products. The Company continues to support its extensive installed base of client/server products, which the Company believes represents a significant source of potential customers for its Internet products. The Company also generates significant revenues from services, including customer maintenance, consulting and training. Total revenue for the third quarter ended January 31, 2000 decreased $3.1 million (38%) to $5.0 million from $8.1 in the third quarter ended January 31, 1999. Total revenue for the nine months ended January 31, 2000 decreased $6.1 million (28%) to $15.9 million from $21.9 for the nine months ended January 31, 1999. The decrease in total revenues was primarily driven by software license revenues, which decreased by 44%, or $2.4 million for the three months ended January 31, 2000, and 32%, or $4.6 million, for the nine months period ended January 31, 2000 as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily related to the Company's shift in focus from its client/server product line to its Unify eWave product line, for which the revenues to date have not met expectations. As the Company emphasized the sale and marketing of the Unify eWave product line the Unify VISION and client-server software license revenues also declined further. 10 UNIFY CORPORATION Service revenue for the third quarter ended January 31, 2000 decreased $0.7 million (27%) to $2.0 million from $2.7 for the same quarter in fiscal 1999. Total service revenue for the nine months ended January 31, 2000 decreased $1.4 million (19%) to $6.2 million from $7.6 for the nine months ended January 31, 1999. Maintenance revenues decreased for the three and nine months period by 9% and 12%, respectively, from the prior comparative periods. This reduction in revenues corresponded to decreases in initial orders in conjunction with the reductions of product sales. Consulting revenues were down 34% for the nine months ended January 31, 2000 and 68% for the three months ended January 31, 2000 as compared to the same period in fiscal 1999. These decreases reflect the cumulative impact on the change in emphasis to product sales. International revenues include all software license and service revenues from customers located outside the United States. International revenues from the Company's direct sales organizations in Europe and Japan and from value added resellers, distributors, and other partners in all international locations accounted for 58% and 48% of total revenues in the quarters ended January 31, 2000 and 1999 respectively, and 57% and 52% for the comparative nine-month periods ended January 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. COST OF REVENUES Total cost of revenue for the third quarter ended January 31, 2000 decreased 21% from the cost reported during the third quarter ended January 31, 1999. Total cost of revenue for the nine months ended January 31, 2000 decreased 4% when compared to the same period in the prior year. Cost of software licenses represented 7% of software license revenues for the three months period ended January 31, 2000 and 7% for the nine months period ended January 31, 2000 and were comparable to the absolute dollar cost of software licenses in the same periods of the prior year. Cost of services consists primarily of employee, facilities and travel costs incurred in providing customer support under software maintenance contracts and consulting and training services. Cost of services decreased 29%, and 5%, respectively, for the three and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2000 when compared to the same two periods of the prior year. The costs associated with training and consulting were primarily responsible for the decrease in the third quarter, as the Company required less contract labor as a result of reduced revenues. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT Product development expenses for the quarters ended January 31, 2000 and 1999 were comparable, with a slight increase during fiscal 2000, at $1.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Product development expenses for the nine months ended January 31, 2000 and 1999 were also comparable, with a slight increase during fiscal 2000, at $4.8 million and $4.4 million, respectively. The increases in product development expenses is the result of the development of the Unify eWave family of products and the resources required to maintain and support this product line. The Company believes that substantial investment in product development is critical to maintaining technological leadership and therefore intends to continue to devote significant resources to product development. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the quarter ended Janaury 31, 2000 decreased to $3.5 million, or 71% of total revenues, as compared to $3.9 million, or 49% of total revenues, for the same quarter of the prior year. SG&A expenses for the nine months ended 11 UNIFY CORPORATION January 31, 2000 increased to $11.6 million, or 73% of total revenues, as compared to $11.2 million, or 51% of total revenues, for the same periods of the prior year. The major components of SG&A for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 were sales expenses of $2.2 million, marketing expenses of $0.7 million, general and administrative of $0.5 million and bad debt expenses of less than $0.1 million. Sales expenses decreased $0.2 million when compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year, as a result of the shift in focus to the Unify eWave product line which had not been fully implemented in the first quarter. This expense decrease was partially offset by an increase in marketing expense of $0.1 million as a result of this new product promotion. General and administrative expenses decreased less than $0.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared to the same quarter of fiscal 1999. On a year to date basis for the nine months ended January 31, 2000 sales expenses, decreased $0.7 million as a result of the shift in focus to the Unify eWave product line; marketing expense increased $0.6 million as a result of the new Unify eWave promotion; general and administrative expenses decreased $0.6 million primarily as a result of reduced spending the first quarter and bad debt expenses were increased by $1.1 million when compared to the same nine months period for fiscal year 1999. The Company expects that total SG&A expenses will fluctuate from quarter to quarter primarily because of variability in marketing program spending and sales commission expense. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES The Company recorded tax provisions for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2000 and 1999 which related primarily to foreign income taxes and withholding taxes on software license royalties paid to the Company by certain foreign licensees. For the same periods, the Company recorded no significant federal or state income tax provisions as the Company utilized net operating loss carryforwards. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At January 31, 2000, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $15.2 million, compared to $11.4 million at April 30, 1999. Working capital decreased to $7.7 million at January 31, 2000 from $11.9 million at April 30, 1999. The Company's operating activities generated cash of $4.4 million during the nine months ended January 31, 2000, as a result of increases in deferred revenue of $2.2 million and increases in other accrued liabilities of $0.8 million, and accounts receivable of $5.1 million, offset by operating losses of $3.9 million for the fist nine months of fiscal year 2000. Accounts receivable decreased by $5.1 million of which $2.8 million was achieved through the sale of receivables without recourse. Increases in other liabilities were due primarily to accrued software and developmental costs. Investing activities during the period generated cash of $0.6 million, consisting principally of net sales of available-for-sale securities of $2.4 million of which $1.4 million was used to acquire other investments and developed software. Cash provided by financing activities during the period was $1.2 million, which represented proceeds the issuance of common stock under the Company's stock option and stock purchase plan of $1.2 million. VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE AND GENERAL RISK FACTORS AFFECTING QUARTERLY RESULTS The Company's common stock price has been and is likely to continue to be subject to significant volatility. A variety of factors could cause the price of the Company's common stock to fluctuate, perhaps substantially, including: announcements of developments related to the Company's 12 UNIFY CORPORATION business; fluctuations in the Company's or its competitors' operating results and order levels; general conditions in the computer industry or the worldwide economy; announcements of technological innovations; new products or product enhancements by the Company or its competitors; changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; developments in patent, copyright or other intellectual property rights; and developments in the Company's relationships with its customers, distributors and suppliers; legal proceedings brought against the Company or its officers; significant changes in the Company' senior management team. In addition, in recent years the stock market in general, and the market for shares of equity securities of many high technology companies in particular, has experienced extreme price fluctuations which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of those companies. Such fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Company's common stock. The Company's quarterly operating results have varied significantly in the past, and the Company expects that its operating results are likely to vary significantly from time to time in the future. Such variations result from, among other factors, the following: the size and timing of significant orders and their fulfillment; demand for the Company's products; the number, timing and significance of product enhancements and new product announcements by the Company and its competitors; ability of the Company to attract and retain key employees; seasonality; changes in pricing policies by the Company or its competitors; realignments of the Company's organizational structure; changes in the level of the Company's operating expenses; changes in the Company's sales incentive plans; budgeting cycles of the Company's customers; customer order deferrals in anticipation of enhancements or new products offered by the Company or its competitors; product life cycles; product defects and other product quality problems; the results of international expansion; currency fluctuations; and general domestic and international economic and political conditions. Due to the foregoing factors, quarterly revenues and operating results are difficult to forecast. Revenues are also difficult to forecast because the market for Internet and e-commerce application development software is rapidly evolving, and the Company's sales cycle, from initial evaluation to purchase and the provision of maintenance services, is lengthy and varies substantially from customer to customer. Because the Company normally ships products within a short time after it receives an order, it typically does not have any material backlog. As a result, to achieve its quarterly revenue objectives, the Company is dependent upon obtaining orders in any given quarter for shipment in that quarter. Furthermore, because many customers place orders toward the end of a fiscal quarter, the Company generally recognizes a substantial portion of its revenues at the end of a quarter. As the Company's expense levels are based in significant part on the Company's expectations as to future revenues and are therefore relatively fixed in the short term, if revenue levels fall below expectations operating results are likely to be disproportionately adversely affected. The Company also expects that its operating results will be affected by seasonal trends, and that it may experience relatively weaker demand in fiscal quarters ending July 31 and October 31 as a result of reduced business activity in Europe during the summer months. DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RATE RISK INTEREST RATE RISK. The Company's exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to its investment portfolio, which consists of cash equivalents and short-term investments. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and are stated at cost. Cash equivalents are generally maintained in money market accounts which have as their objective preservation of principal and which hold investments with maturity dates of less than 90 days. The Company does not believe its exposure to interest rate 13 UNIFY CORPORATION risk is material for these balances, which totaled $11.5 million at January 31, 2000. The securities in the Company's short-term investment portfolio are generally classified as available-for-sale and, consequently, are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Short-term investments totaled $3.7 million at January 31, 2000 and there were no material realized or unrealized gains or losses on short-term investments during the first nine months of fiscal 2000. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments in its short-term investment portfolio, places its investments with high quality issuers and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. The Company is averse to principal loss and attempts to ensure the safety of its invested funds by limiting default, market and reinvestment risk. The Company's short-term investments at January 31, 2000 consisted of $3.7 million in high quality corporate bonds maturing within one year, which the Company does not believe carry any material interest rate exposure. If market interest rates were to change immediately and uniformly by ten percent from levels at January 31, 2000, the fair value of the Company's cash equivalents and short-term investments would change by an insignificant amount. FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK. As a global concern, the Company faces exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, operating results and financial position. Historically, the Company's primary exposures have related to local currency denominated sales and expenses in Europe, Japan and Australia. Due to the substantial volatility of currency exchange rates, among other factors, the Company cannot predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on its future operating results. The Company also has currency exchange rate exposures on intercompany accounts receivable owed to the Company as a result of local currency sales of software licenses by the Company's international subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, France and Japan. At January 31, 2000, the Company had $2.0 million, $0.4 million and $1.0 million in such receivables denominated in British pounds, French francs and Japanese yen, respectively. The Company encourages prompt payment of these intercompany balances in order to minimize its exposure to currency fluctuations, but it engages in no hedging activities to reduce the risk of such fluctuations. A hypothetical ten percent change in foreign currency rates would have an insignificant impact on the Company's business, operating results and financial position. The Company has not experienced material exchange losses on intercompany balances in the past; however, due to the substantial volatility of currency exchange rates, among other factors, it cannot predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on its future business, operating results and financial position. 14 UNIFY CORPORATION PART II.
