SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MetaCreations Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively "MetaCreations" or the "Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statement presentation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and related interim consolidated statements of operations and cash flows include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) considered necessary for their fair presentation. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The consolidated results of operations for the period ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and for the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, as filed on Form 10-K. 2. RESTRUCTURING On June 30, 1998, the Company announced a restructuring plan aimed at reducing costs and improving competitiveness and efficiency, which was implemented during the third quarter of 1998. In connection with the restructuring, management considered the Company's future operating costs and levels of revenue in 1998 and beyond, and determined that a restructuring charge of approximately $4,955,000 was required to cover the costs of reducing certain sectors of its workforce and facilities. The restructuring charge included an accrual of approximately $2,208,000 related to severance and benefits associated with the reduction of approximately 75 positions during July 1998, as well as the related reduction of certain of the Company's facilities. Non-cash restructuring costs, which totaled approximately $2,747,000, primarily related to the write-down of non-strategic business assets made redundant or obsolete due to the streamlining of the Company's product lines and/or reduction of facilities. The Company completed the restructuring plan during the first quarter of 1999. 6 7 The following table depicts the restructuring activity through March 31, 1999 (in thousands):

4. INCOME TAXES The Company did not record a benefit for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 1999 based on management's assessment of the recoverability of the deferred tax assets. Management's assessment included an evaluation of the Company's deferred income tax assets; available tax carrybacks; cumulative net income, excluding costs related to mergers and acquisitions; available tax planning strategies; and future financial statement projections. Based on this assessment and interpretation of the provisions of SFAS No. 109, management has concluded that additional net operating losses and other tax benefits generated during 1999 require a valuation allowance. Management's assessment with respect to the amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable may be revised over the near term based on actual operating results and revised financial statement projections. The benefit for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 1998 is based on the Company's estimated annualized effective tax rate for the year, after giving effect to the utilization of available tax credits and tax planning opportunities. 7 8 METACREATIONS CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 5. LOSS PER SHARE The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted per-share computations for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (in thousands, except per share amounts):
LOSS SHARES PER-SHARE (NUMERATOR) (DENOMINATOR) AMOUNT ----------- ------------- ------ Three Months Ended March 31, 1999: Basic EPS ...................... $(1,092) 24,325 $(.04) Effect of dilutive securities .. -- -- ------- ------ Diluted EPS .................... $(1,092) 24,325 $(.04) ------- ------ Three Months Ended March 31, 1998: Basic EPS ...................... $ (823) 23,620 $(.03) Effect of dilutive securities .. -- -- ------- ------ Diluted EPS .................... $ (823) 23,620 $(.03) ======= ======
The computation of the diluted number of shares excludes unexercised stock options which are anti-dilutive. Stock options to purchase 7,094,000 and 6,749,000 shares of common stock were outstanding as of March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and excluded from the computation. 8 9 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The discussion and analysis below contains trend analysis and other forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Words such as "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual results could differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in any such forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth in "Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results," as well as those discussed elsewhere in the Company's SEC reports, including without limitation, the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and for the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, as filed on Form 10-K. OVERVIEW MetaCreations was formed in May 1997, as a result of the merger of MetaTools, Inc. and Fractal Design Corporation, and included the acquisitions of Real Time Geometry Corp. in December 1996 and Specular International. Ltd. in April 1997, as well as the previous merger of Fractal and Ray Dream, Inc. in May 1996. Net revenues totaled $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999, representing a 16% decrease compared to the three months ended March 31, 1998, as a result of lower than expected demand in the retail channels and lower OEM revenues compared to the three months ended March 31, 1998. However, compared to the three months ended December 31, 1998, net revenues increased $716,000, or 6%. This sequential growth in revenues was substantially achieved through the Company's introduction of two new products, Headline Studio and Office Advantage, as well as a new version of an existing product, Bryce 4. The Company's future revenues continue to be substantially dependent upon the continued market acceptance of the Company's existing leading products and technologies: Bryce, Infini-D, Kai's Photo Soap, Kai's Super GOO, Kai's Power Tools, MetaFlash, MetaStream, Painter, Poser, and Ray Dream Studio, in addition to the Company's two new products, Headline Studio and Office Advantage. In this regard, revenue from the sale of these products and licensing of the technologies represented a substantial majority of net revenues during the three months ended March 31, 1999. The Company also has a number of new product development efforts under way, and a significant portion of future revenues is dependent upon the timely introduction and ultimate success of these activities. 9 10 In 1998, MetaCreations introduced its Creative Web strategy designed to leverage the Company's 2D and 3D technologies for use on the Internet through both new and existing products. The Company's future revenues will also be dependent upon the Company's ability to successfully develop and market new products based on this strategy. The Company develops substantially all of its products either internally, through acquisitions, or occasionally through co-development arrangements with third parties. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to supplement its product development efforts in the future through acquisitions or co-development relationships. The Company sells its products primarily to domestic and international distributors, including mail order resellers and retail outlets. The Company also sells its products to OEMs for bundling with their hardware or software products and directly to end users, generally through telesales, direct mail campaigns, and the Internet from the Company's online store. Fluctuations in distributor purchases can cause significant volatility in the Company's revenues. Distributors generally stock the Company's products at levels which may fluctuate significantly for a variety of reasons, including the distributors' ability to finance the purchase of products and to devote shelf space, catalog space or attention to the products. Distributor purchases may also be affected by the Company's introduction of a new product or new version of a product, the Company's end user promotions programs, anticipated product price increases, the Company's purchases of display space at retail outlets and other factors. Further, OEM and licensing agreements, which generally provide for minimum guaranteed non-refundable payments to the Company, typically coincide with the planned introduction of OEM bundled products and are often entered into at the end of the quarter. The timing of the execution of such agreements can fluctuate substantially throughout the year, causing volatility in the Company's revenues, operating results, and cash flows. Since its inception, the Company has focused on building its product portfolio and establishing brandname awareness of its products. Historically, these activities have resulted in significant increases in all expense categories. The Company's recent product development efforts to focus on the Creative Web strategy has resulted in increased research and development expenditures subsequent to the Company's restructuring in the third quarter of 1998. Such higher expense levels combined with costs associated with periodic mergers and acquisitions, including the related write-off of acquired in-process technology, and quarterly fluctuations in net revenues have contributed to the Company's recent annual and quarterly losses, as well as fluctuations in its operating results. The Company intends to continue to invest significant amounts both in expanding its product portfolio and in maintaining and enhancing brand awareness of its products, and accordingly may continue to experience losses and volatility of net revenues and operating results in future periods. 10 11 OPERATING RESULTS The following table sets forth certain selected financial information expressed as a percentage of net revenues for the periods indicated:
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, -------------------------- 1999 1998 ----- ---- Net revenues ...................... 100.0 % 100.0 % Cost of revenues .................. 13.6 16.2 ----- ---- Gross margin .................... 86.4 83.8 Operating expenses: Sales and marketing ............. 53.4 54.9 Research and development ........ 32.2 29.2 General and administrative ...... 14.4 12.8 ----- ---- Total operating expenses .......... 100.0 96.9 ----- ---- Loss from operations ..............

(9.0)% (5.7)% ====== ====
Net Revenues Net revenues totaled $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999, a decrease of 16% over net revenues of $14.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Net revenues decreased as a result of lower demand in the retail channels and lower OEM revenues compared to the three months ended March 31, 1998. International sales accounted for $3.2 million, or 26% of net revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $4.7 million, or 33% of net revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The decrease in international sales was attributed to reduced revenues from Japan resulting from the economic weakness in Japan, and the Asia Pacific region in general. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products in accordance with Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition," as amended by SOP 98-4, "Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of SOP 97-2." SOP 97-2 and SOP 98-4 generally require revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements (e.g., software products, upgrades/enhancements, postcontract customer support, etc.) to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair value of the elements. The fair value of an element must be based on evidence which is specific to the Company. The Company recognizes product revenues upon shipment to the customer, satisfaction of Company obligations, if any, and reasonable assurance regarding the collectability of the corresponding receivable. Revenue allocated to postcontract customer support is recognized ratably over the term of the support. If the Company does not have evidence of the fair value for all elements in a multiple-element arrangement, all revenue 11 12 from the arrangement is deferred until such evidence exists or until all elements are delivered. The Company provides an allowance for estimated returns at the time of product shipments and adjusts this allowance as needed based on actual return history. Such reserves as a percentage of gross revenues have varied over recent years, reflecting the Company's experience in product returns as it has significantly expanded the proportion of its sales through third-party distribution channels and increased its product portfolio. The Company expects reserves will continue to vary in the future. The Company's agreements with its distributors generally provide the distributors with limited rights to return unsold inventories under a stock balancing program. The Company monitors the activities of its distributors in an effort to minimize excessive returns and establishes its reserves based on its estimates of expected returns. The establishment of reserves requires judgments regarding such factors as future competitive conditions and product life cycles, which can be difficult to predict. As a result, there can be no assurance that established reserves will be adequate to cover actual future returns. The Company has entered into agreements whereby it licenses products to original equipment manufacturers ("OEM's") and foreign publishers which provide such customers the right to produce and distribute multiple copies of its software. Nonrefundable fixed fees are recognized as revenue at delivery of the product master to the customer, satisfaction of Company obligations, if any, and reasonable assurance regarding the collectability of the corresponding receivable. Per copy royalties in excess of fixed amounts are recognized as revenue when such amounts exceed fixed minimum royalties. Revenues under OEM contracts without nonrefundable fixed fees are recognized as earned over the term of the contract. Cost of Revenues Cost of revenues includes the costs of goods sold, royalties due to external developers, inventory management costs, freight and handling costs and reserves for inventory obsolescence. Cost of revenues totaled $1.6 million, or 14% of net revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $2.3 million, or 16% of net revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The decrease in cost of revenues resulted from the changing mix of product sales towards products with lower royalties, as well as efficiencies achieved in the cost of goods and management costs. Royalties represented 1% of net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999, down from 3% of net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The Company expects that cost of revenues will increase in the future commensurate with any increase in net revenues, but may vary as a percentage of net revenues. 12 13 Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expenses include advertising, promotional materials, mail campaigns, trade shows and the compensation costs of sales, marketing, customer service and public relations personnel who promote the Company's products, including related facilities costs. Sales and marketing expenses totaled $6.4 million, or 53% of net revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $7.9 million, or 55% of net revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses primarily resulted from the restructuring programs implemented during the third quarter of 1998, which included reductions in sales and marketing personnel and promotional activities. The Company anticipates that sales and marketing expenses will increase in future periods as the Company's product offerings expand, although they may vary as a percentage of net revenues. Research and Development Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, consultant fees and required equipment and facilities costs related to the Company's product development efforts. Research and development expenses totaled $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The decrease in research and development expenses was attributed to decreased headcount at March 31, 1999 compared to March 31, 1998. As a percentage of net revenues, research and development expenses increased from 29% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to 32% for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The Company expects research and development expenses will increase in future periods, but may vary as a percentage of net revenues. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses include compensation costs related to executive management, finance and administration personnel of the Company along with other administrative costs including legal and accounting fees, insurance and bad debt expenses. General and administrative expenses totaled $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The decrease in general and administrative expenses primarily resulted from the restructuring programs implemented during the third quarter of 1998, which included reductions in general and administrative personnel. As a percentage of net revenues, general and administrative expenses increased from 13% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to 14% for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The Company expects that its general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as the Company expands its staffing to support expanded operations, but may vary as a percentage of net revenues. 13 14 Benefit for Income Taxes The Company did not record a benefit for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 1999 based on management's assessment of the recoverability of the deferred tax assets. Management's assessment included an evaluation of the Company's deferred income tax assets; available tax carrybacks; cumulative net income, excluding costs related to mergers and acquisitions; available tax planning strategies; and future financial statement projections. Based on this assessment and interpretation of the provisions of SFAS No. 109, management has concluded that additional net operating losses and other tax benefits generated during 1999 require a valuation allowance. Management's assessment with respect to the amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable may be revised over the near term based on actual operating results and revised financial statement projections. The benefit for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 1998 is based on the Company's estimated annualized effective tax rate for the year, after giving effect to the utilization of available tax credits and tax planning opportunities. Net Loss Net loss was $1.1 million, or $0.04 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to a net loss of $823,000, or $0.03 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 1998. FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Words such as "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual results could differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in any such forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those listed below. Shares of MetaCreations' Common Stock are speculative in nature and involve a high degree of risk. The following risk factors should be considered carefully. The risks described below are not the only ones facing MetaCreations. Many factors could cause our results to be different, including the following risk factors and other risks described in this document, as well as those discussed elsewhere in the Company's SEC reports, including without limitation, the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and for the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, as filed on Form 10-K. If any of the following risks occur, our business would likely be adversely affected and the trading price of our Common Stock could decline. This could result in a loss of all or part of your investment. 14 15 Fluctuations in Quarterly Results Our quarterly operating results depend on a number of factors that are difficult to forecast. If our future quarterly operating results fall below the expectations of securities analysts or investors, the trading price of our common stock will likely drop. Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and may continue to fluctuate in the future as a result of many factors, including: - Introduction or enhancement of new products or technologies by us or our competitors; - Market acceptance of our products; - Industry press reviews of our products; - Changes in our prices or our competitors' prices; - The mix of distribution channels for our products; - The mix of products we sell; - Distributors' returns of our products; and - General economic conditions. In addition, we ship our products as we receive orders. As a result, we have little or no backlog. A large portion of our revenues occurs in the third month of each quarter. In addition, demand for our products tends to increase at the end of the calendar year due to year-end holiday buying trends. Revenues may also be affected by the volume and timing of the orders we receive, our ability to fulfill these orders, and our ability to close distribution and licensing agreements during a particular quarter. Any delays in the receipt and shipment of orders, the failure of our suppliers and manufacturers to produce and ship products that we have requested or our inability to close distribution and licensing agreements would adversely affect our revenues. Our staffing and other operating expenses are based in large part on anticipated revenues. It would be difficult for us to adjust our spending to compensate for any unexpected shortfall. If we are unable to reduce our spending following any such shortfall, our results of operations would be adversely affected. The Company has had operating losses the last five quarters. We have recently restructured and have focused on reducing our operating expenses to levels more consistent with expected revenues. We cannot guarantee that such reductions in operating expenses will be enough to restore our profitability. Possible Volatility of Stock Price The market price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly in the past. The price at which our common stock will trade in the future will depend on a number of factors including: - Our historical and anticipated operating results; - General market and economic conditions; - Our announcement of new products or technologies; - Actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results; and - Developments regarding our products, or our competitors' products. 15 16 In addition, the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations in recent months. This volatility has had a substantial effect on our stock price, as well as the stock prices of other software companies, particularly those focused on internet software solutions. These broad market and industry fluctuations may continue to adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, the market price of our common stock may continue to fluctuate. Risks Associated With Product Transitions and Product Returns We may announce new products, product versions or technologies that may replace or shorten the life cycles of our existing products. Our competitors may also make similar announcements about their products which may replace or shorten the life cycles of our products. Although we provide allowances for anticipated returns, actual product returns may exceed these allowances. Periodically, we may increase our reserves for returns because of decreased demand and/or lower than expected revenues in our domestic or international retail channels. This would adversely affect our business. In certain cases we sell our new products and product versions at a discounted price to achieve market acceptance. These price discounts could adversely affect our revenues. In addition, when we announce plans for new products or new releases, or when our competitors make similar announcements, customers may delay purchasing our current products. This would also adversely affect our business. Dependence on Distributors And On Other Third Parties Although we make some direct sales to customers, we generate most of our revenues from sales through third party distributors. We use many different distribution channels to sell our products worldwide. Examples of distribution channels include international distributors, educational distributors, resellers, hardware superstores, retail dealers, direct marketers, and hardware and software OEM's. Our future financial results depend in large part on our relationship with third party distributors and their continued financial stability. Any termination or significant disruption of our relationship with any major distributor or retailer, or any significant reduction in sales volume attributable to a major distributor or retailer, would adversely affect our business. The distribution channels are subject to rapid change, significant margin pressures, consolidation and other financial difficulties. For example, if one of our distributors experienced financial difficulties such as a bankruptcy, we might not be able to collect on accounts receivable from that distributor. It is also possible that new channels of distribution will develop which compete with existing channels. For example, the Internet is currently evolving as a new distribution channel for computer software. If we are unable to adapt our products for distribution through the Internet, to the extent they need adapting, our business could be adversely affected. We depend in part on our third party distributors to promote our products to retailers. These retailers typically have a limited amount of shelf space subject to high demand. We cannot be sure that our distributors and retailers will continue to purchase our products or provide our products with adequate shelf space and promotional support. Their failure to continue to do so would adversely affect our business. 16 17 An important part of our strategy is to enhance and diversify our domestic and international distribution channels. We are currently restructuring our domestic and international sales and marketing force. We are also continuing to develop relationships with new third-party distributors and resellers. Our ability to increase our sales and market share will depend in large part on our success in recruiting and training sales personnel, distributors and resellers. Need to Expand International Operations We sell a large percentage of our products outside of the United States. International sales accounted for approximately 26% and 33% of net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The decrease in international sales resulted primarily from the economic weakness in Japan, and the Asia Pacific in general. An important element of our business strategy is to continue to expand our sales in international markets, primarily Japan, Western Europe and Asia Pacific. Our ability to expand our international presence depends on our success in retaining effective international distributors and our ability to hire and retain qualified employees abroad. There are risks inherent in expanding and doing business internationally such as: - Difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations; - Problems and delays in collecting accounts receivable; - Fluctuations in currency exchange rates; - Unexpected changes in regulatory requirements; - Tariffs and other trade barriers; - Political instability; and - Potentially adverse tax consequences. Currently we sell our products in U.S. dollars. Any increase in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to currencies in our principal overseas markets would increase the cost of our products in these markets. This may adversely affect our sales in those markets. To date, we have not engaged in currency hedging transactions to reduce the effect of fluctuations in currency exchange rates. In addition, effective copyright and trade secret protection may be limited or unavailable under the laws of certain foreign jurisdictions. The occurrence of any of these risks would adversely affect the success of our international operations and our business. A significant portion of our net revenues stem from the Asia Pacific region, primarily Japan. Japan has recently experienced weaknesses in their currency, banking and equity markets. We cannot guarantee that the financial condition in Japan and in the Asia Pacific region will improve in the near future. If the current financial crisis in the Asia Pacific region continues or worsens, our business will be adversely affected. For example, during 1998 and the first quarter of 1999, our net revenues from Japan and the Asia Pacific region decreased as a result of depressed demand for our products due to the current Asian financial crisis. 17 18 Highly Competitive Graphics Software Markets We face intense competition in the market for graphics software products. Our competitors include Adobe Systems, Incorporated; Autodesk, Inc.; Corel Corporation; Macromedia, Inc.; and Microsoft Corporation. The market for our products can change rapidly, and customers constantly demand new product features, accelerated releases of new products, product enhancements and lower price points. Many of our competitors or potential competitors are larger than we are and have significantly greater financial, managerial, technical and marketing resources than we have. Our business would be adversely affected if any of our competitors cut prices, increased promotions of their products, announced or accelerated introduction of new products or enhanced product features or acquired additional applications or technologies from third parties. Our present or future competitors may be able to develop products comparable or superior to ours or may be able to develop new products faster than we can. We also face competition from developers of personal computer operating systems, such as Microsoft and Apple Computer. These companies may incorporate functions into their operating systems which could be superior to or incompatible with our products. Such competition would also adversely affect our business. We are currently developing additional product enhancements that we believe will address customer requirements. However, we cannot be sure that we will complete our development and introduction of these products on a timely basis. In addition, we cannot be sure that these product enhancements will achieve market acceptance. If we are unable to compete effectively in our markets, or if competition becomes increasingly intense, our business would be adversely affected. Dependence on Key Personnel We depend on the continued employment of our senior executive officers and other key management personnel. If any of our senior officers or other key employees leave our company and are not adequately replaced, our business would be adversely affected. During February 1998, our previous Chief Executive Officer, John Wilczak, resigned. Gary Lauer, who had most recently served as President of Silicon Graphics, Inc.'s ("SGI") World Trade Group and Executive Vice President of SGI's Worldwide Field Operations, succeeded Mr. Wilczak as our Chief Executive Officer. In addition, in connection with our recent restructuring, our Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing; Vice President, Marketing; Vice President, Product Management and Design; and Vice President, Corporate Communications left our Company. In the later half of 1998, we hired a Senior Vice President, Marketing; a Senior Vice President, Product Development; and a Vice President, European Sales and Marketing. In April 1999, we hired a Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales, and our Chief Design Officer left the Company. If we do not succeed in attracting and retaining new officers, our business would be adversely affected. 18 19 Difficulty of Identifying and Hiring Certain Personnel Our future success depends on our continuing ability to identify, hire, train and retain other highly qualified technical and managerial employees. The competition for such employees is intense, and we have experienced difficulty in identifying and hiring qualified engineering personnel. If we do not succeed in attracting and retaining necessary technical and managerial employees in the future, our business would be adversely affected. Rapid Technological Change and Dependence On New Products And Product Versions The market for graphics software products is characterized by rapidly changing technology. Product life cycles are short and downward pricing pressures are strong. As a result, our success depends substantially upon our ability to continue to enhance our products and to develop new products that meet customers' increasing expectations and that incorporate the latest technology. We may not be successful in developing and marketing enhancements to our existing products or introducing new products on a timely basis. Our new or enhanced products may not succeed in the marketplace. If our new products or product versions receive bad reviews in industry publications, this would likely decrease their potential market acceptance, and our business would be adversely affected. We expect our research and development expenditures will increase in the future. If our increased research and development spending is not accompanied by increased revenues, our business would be adversely affected. We have supplemented our research and development efforts by exclusively licensing products developed by or co-developed with third parties. We may not be able to continue to obtain such outside product development capabilities on terms favorable to us or at all. If we cannot maintain existing development arrangements or fail to attract new product development partners, then we would have to further increase our research and development spending. This would adversely affect our business. Potential Delays in Product Releases We also depend upon internal efforts for the development of new products and product enhancements. In the past, we have had delays in the development of new products and product versions. We may experience similar delays in the future. Risk of Undetected Errors We offer complex software products which may contain undetected errors. In the past, we discovered software errors in certain new products and enhancements after these products were introduced to the marketplace. If errors are found in our products after we have commercially shipped them, we would likely experience bad product reviews and a loss or delay of market acceptance. This would adversely affect our business. 19 20 Evolving Markets for our Computer Graphic Imaging and Internet/Online Design Tools The markets for computer graphic imaging and Internet/online design tools are still emerging. Digital graphic and Internet/online content developers may not adopt our products. We also may not have sufficient distribution resources to market our products successfully or these products may not achieve market acceptance. The demand for computer graphic imaging and Internet/online design tools depends on many factors including: - Installed base of digital graphic and multimedia capable personal computers; - Widespread availability of digital media; and - Number and expertise of skilled content producers. If the markets for these tools fail to grow or grow more slowly than we currently anticipate, then our business would be adversely affected. Risks of Infringement and Proprietary Rights We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements and exclusive contracts to protect our intellectual and proprietary rights, products, and technology, such as MetaStream and MetaFlash. We distribute our software under shrinkwrap license agreements. We generally do not obtain signed license agreements from the end users of our software. As is typical in the software industry, we do not copy-protect our software. As a result, unauthorized third parties may be able to copy or reverse engineer our products. We may not be able to police unauthorized uses of our products, and we expect that software piracy could be a chronic problem. We also distribute or plan to distribute our products in other countries which do not protect the intellectual property of our products to the same extent as laws in the United States. We also believe that the growing number of software products available and the increasing overlap of products may lead to a greater number of infringement claims. Our products may be the subject of infringement claims in the future. This could result in costly litigation and could require us to obtain a license to the intellectual property of third parties. We may be unable to obtain licenses from these third parties on favorable terms, if at all. Even if a license is available, we may have to pay substantial royalties to obtain it. If we cannot obtain necessary licenses on reasonable terms, our business would be adversely affected. 20 21 Year 2000 Risks Background Many currently installed computer systems and software products are coded to accept only two digit entries for the year in the date code field. Beginning in the year 2000, these date code fields will need to accept four digit entries to distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century dates. As a result, over the next year, computer systems and software used by many companies may need to be upgraded to comply with such "Year 2000" requirements. The Year 2000 problem could affect computers, software and other equipment used, operated, or maintained by us, our business partners, our suppliers and our customers. Project We have identified potential Year 2000 risks in five categories: 1) Internal business software and systems; 2) Systems other than information technology systems ("Non-IT systems"); 3) Software products we sell to customers; 4) Third party distributors of our products; and 5) Third party suppliers of products and services to us. Our Year 2000 project includes the following phases for the first three categories above: 1) Inventorying Year 2000 items; 2) Assessing Year 2000 compliance for items determined to be material; 3) Assigning priorities to identified items; 4) Implementing remediation plans for items determined to be material and not Year 2000 compliant; 5) Re-testing items for which corrections have been implemented; and 6) Developing contingency plans. With respect to the our third-party distributors and suppliers, our Year 2000 project consists of the following phases: 1) Contacting distributors and suppliers for information concerning their Year 2000 readiness; 2) Prioritizing distributors and suppliers as to relative importance; 3) Validating distributor and supplier responses regarding Year 2000 compliance; and 4) Developing contingency plans in the event one or more distributors or suppliers fails to achieve Year 2000 compliance. 21 22 Assessment Internal business software and systems consist primarily of our business information system which is based in the United States and services our worldwide operations. During 1997, we completed implementation of a Year 2000 compliant enterprise-wide information system. Additionally, we have completed the first three phases of the Year 2000 project related to our business systems, and have substantially completed the fourth phase. We currently expect completion of the remediation and re-testing phases of our business systems, in addition to the development of applicable contingency plans, by July 31, 1999. We presently believe that with the implementation of our new information system and modification to existing software, Year 2000 compliance will not adversely affect our business. However, there can be no assurance that our internal business software and systems will contain all date code changes necessary to prevent processing errors potentially arising from calculations using the Year 2000 date. If our business systems are not compliant, we could experience interruptions to our development programs and general business operations. We have been advised by our suppliers of non-IT systems, which primarily consist of environmental systems such as fire suppression, air conditioning and heating, and security systems at various buildings we occupy, that either such systems are currently Year 2000 compliant. The computer graphics software products that we sell to customers are not date-sensitive. As a result, we believe that the current versions of our products are Year 2000 compliant. However, there can be no assurance that our current products do not contain undetected errors or defects associated with Year 2000 that may result in costs which adversely affect our business. We contract with third parties for the manufacture and distribution of our products. As a result, we have initiated communications with our key suppliers and distributors and plan to monitor the status of their Year 2000 readiness. We have completed the first three phases of our Year 2000 project related to our key distributors. We have also reviewed the Year 2000 project plan implemented by our key supplier and have held quarterly meetings with them since the middle of 1998 in order to monitor their progress. Based on these meetings, we expect completion of their Year 2000 remediation and testing phases, by June 30, 1999. If any of our principal suppliers and distributors fail to demonstrate Year 2000 readiness, then we will evaluate alternatives that could include the identification of alternate suppliers or distributors which have demonstrated Year 2000 readiness and/or the accumulation of inventory to assure production capability where feasible or warranted. These activities are intended to provide a means of managing our risk, but cannot eliminate the potential for disruption due to third party failure to achieve Year 2000 compliance. We expect the development of contingency plans, if necessary, to be completed by September 30, 1999. Should any of our key suppliers or distributors not achieve Year 2000 readiness, we may be unable to effectively manufacture our products or distribute our products to our customers. 22 23 Costs The balance of the effort for our Year 2000 project has been by employees whose costs for this project are not tracked separately. We believe that costs for the remainder of the project will not be material to our business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Risks Our business, financial position, results of operations, and cash flows could be materially adversely affected if we or our key suppliers, distributors, or customers do not achieve Year 2000 compliance. Although our Year 2000 project is expected to minimize our risks of experiencing a Year 2000 problem, inherent risks and uncertainties exist despite our efforts. As a result, we are unable to determine at this time whether the consequences of Year 2000 failures resulting from these inherent risks and uncertainties will have a material effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Historically, net cash used in operating activities and investing activities of the Company has been significant due to operating losses from acquisitions and mergers and to working capital requirements. Cash and investments totaled $43.8 million at March 31, 1999, down from $46.3 million at December 31, 1998. Net cash used in operating activities of the Company totaled $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The increase in cash used in operating activities is primarily attributed to the increase in accounts receivable over the respective period. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $10.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The change resulted primarily from net purchases of short-term investments during the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to net sales and maturities of short-term investments during the three months ended March 31, 1998. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $249,000 and $9,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, resulting from proceeds received from the exercise of stock options by the Company's employees during the respective periods, in addition to the decrease in notes receivable from officers during the three months ended March 31, 1999. The Company expects that its working capital requirements will continue to increase to the extent the Company continues to grow. The Company believes that its current cash and investment balances, cash provided by future operations, if any, and available borrowings under the Company's line of credit are sufficient to meet its working capital needs and anticipated capital expenditure requirements through at least the next twelve months. 23 24 PART II.
