PART I

 

Item 1.  Business.

 

Artemis International Solutions Corporation, a Delaware Corporation, including its subsidiaries (“Artemis”, “We”, or the “Company”), is one of the world’s leading providers of Investment Planning and Control TM (“IP & C”) software and services. Since 1976, we have been helping organizations improve their performance through portfolio, project and resource management.

 

We provide a comprehensive set of Investment Planning and Controlsolutions designed to help organizations execute their strategies through effective project portfolio management. These solutions combine our flagship product Artemis 7 with verticalized solutions-oriented consulting services to address the needs of both private and public sector organizations in the areas of:

 

                  Information Technology (“IT”) Management and Governance

                  New Product Development and Launch

                  Strategic Asset Optimization

                  Aerospace and Defense Program Management

                  Public Investment Management

 

Our Investment Planning and Control solutions cover the full investment lifecycle, from selection and prioritization based on strategy and operational goals, to reiterative budgeting and resource allocation, to project execution and performance measurement, including value and benefit assessment.  Our customers rely on us to provide them with a solution to better manage their IT investments, develop new products such as pharmaceuticals, promote business efficiency through better alignment and allocation of resources in governmental agencies, maintain nuclear power stations, and manage defense programs.

 

The solutions are deployed in a phased approach using SM², the Artemis Solution Management MethodologyTM designed to accelerate return on investment (“ROI”) and minimize implementation risks.

 

More than 400 companies representing 600,000 users in 44 different countries have licensed Artemis solutions in a broad range of industries, including: Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Exelon Energy, AMI Semiconductor, Nokia, France Telecom, Lockheed Martin, Telecom Italia, Toshiba, MoneyGram and USAA.

 

Our corporate offices are located at 4041 MacArthur Boulevard, Suite 401, Newport Beach, CA 92660 and our telephone number at that address is (949) 660-6500.

 

Industry Overview

 

Private and public sector organizations are under growing pressure to deliver more with less, and improve the alignment of their investments with evolving objectives in an increasingly competitive market characterized by tighter margins, shorter product lifecycles, economic and political uncertainty, and more stringent regulatory controls and compliance criteria.

 

Across all industry sectors, 2004 has confirmed the urgent need to improve the processes for selecting, budgeting, prioritizing and executing investments in order to optimize corporate resources, improve business performance and ensure visibility throughout the process.

 

Similar issues exist in all areas of the business including IT, Research and Development and Asset Lifecycle Management:

                  Increasing visibility and alignment of the investment portfolio with evolving business strategy

                  Making objective, value-based investment selections

                  Maintaining agility in the allocation of funds and resources to reflect changing priorities

                  Aligning investment planning and execution to ensure business benefits achievement and value delivery

                  Minimizing unnecessary costs by early identification of investments that bring insufficient value

                  Enabling effective governance over both strategy and execution

                  Ensuring regulatory compliance through standard methods and processes

 

These requirements make Portfolio and Value Management one of the most powerful combinations for improved business performance.

                  Within IT organizations according to the META GROUP, Portfolio Management (PfM) has become the premier IT/business communication tool for optimizing IT investment. Through 2007, more than 70% of firms will combine IT portfolio management, IT value management, enterprise architecture and business relationship management as critical integrated IT organizational practices. Similar trends are reported by the Gartner Group.

 

                  Within R&D organizations according to AMR Research, only 31% of companies surveyed acknowledged having strategic and financial control over their investments in new product development and launch. Others have been advised to implement portfolio management to ensure the most important projects in the pipeline are properly resourced and executed. Gartner Group similarly forecasts that from 2004 to 2010, global 1000 manufacturers will increase their investment in portfolio management by a factor of 10 to improve research and development (“R&D”) performance (60% probability).

 

Most organizations have been trying to solve the above issues using in-house tools, desktop software and point solutions, without being able to leverage the benefits associated with a comprehensive and dynamic view of the investment portfolio through its full life-cycle, and involving all stakeholders throughout the organization.

 

Our Solutions

 

Our solutions help translate strategy into measurable results by providing a permanent, comprehensive view of the investment portfolio, agility to respond to change, detailed performance analysis, support for rapid objective decision making, and timely communication to stakeholders.

 

They incorporate a fully integrated set of top-down and bottom-up processes enabling all stakeholders to concentrate on the key business decisions related to their investments and projects without getting caught-up in the details: from selection and prioritization based on strategy and operational goals, to reiterative budgeting and resource allocation, to project execution and performance measurement, including value and benefit assessment.

 

Our solutions are designed to deliver value throughout the full investment life-cycle to all stake-holders: Chief Information Officer, CFO, R&D managers, line of business managers, project and resources managers, knowledge workers, customers and partners. Unlike other systems, our solutions are completely integrated to offer a real connection between the different processes including demand management, portfolio and budgeting management, execution management, benefit measurement and delivery control.

 

The web-based software underlying our solutions is accessible through any browser, and is scalable for tens of thousands of users. Multiple language and currency support ensures seamless integration, consolidation and analysis of all investments for our global customers.

 

Strategy

 

Our strategy is to become the leading provider of Investment Planning and Control solutions for large private and public sector organizations.

 

Our plan includes the following key components:

 

                  Continue to show leadership in functionality not only in IT Management but in other investment intensive businesses areas such as R&D or strategic asset management.

                  Increase the leverage created by our extensive international presence to improve our sales in growing and emerging regions

                  Add more strategic partnerships to increase our access to the market and the value delivered to customers

                  Cultivate customer intimacy to enhance implementation service quality and build more industry best practices into our solutions

                  Collect demands

                  Define, classify, prioritize investments

                  Model and simulate alternative investment strategies

                  Record investment risks and issues

                  Regularly review investment performance and communicate status to stakeholders

This integrated set of processes is supported by horizontal capabilities :

 

Dashboards & Analytics

 

A comprehensive set of standard dashboards and unlimited analytical capabilities on investment portfolio management, budget and cost control, benefit measurements, resource usage and project management.

 

In addition to multiple scorecards and other on-line key performance indicators, the product offers sophisticated web-based integration with Microsoft Excel.  An unlimited number of Excel based reports can be created through pre-defined templates and fully integrated in each user environment while respecting data security requirements. The software also facilitates use of other third party Business Intelligence tools by providing access to a set of ready to use reporting data tables.

 

Work Flow Management

 

The product uses investment and project management methodology templates to provide integrated workflow control and stage gate capabilities.  These governance templates contain the steps, milestones and stakeholders involved in the lifecycle approval and funding process for each investment or project including review, approval and authorization steps.  The application uses workflows to prompt identified stakeholders to formally review and approve different milestones and stages throughout the lifecycle of investments, programs and projects.

 

Triggers can send alerts within the Artemis 7 platform or via email to defined investment project stakeholders, providing instant notification of critical issues for review and approval.

 

Collaboration

 

The product provides a comprehensive collaborative capability, allowing stakeholders and contributors to store and share information.  The integrated document management capability allows documents and data to be linked directly to the target investment, project or work items, while the discussion area provides an informal process for threaded comments and

notes.  Risks are more easily monitored and controlled through the shared Risks and Issues Register.  Users may subscribe to specific documents receiving updates through email and home page alerting.

 

Integration Management

 

Artemis 7 is an extensible solution, allowing integration with existing systems and the capacity to extend standard system functionality through Custom Plug-ins, Application Program Interface (“API”) and Extensible Markup Language (“XML”) capabilities.

 

Artemis 7 allows configurable access levels based on role and rights granted that allow users to access the various processes and features of the solution based on their individual needs.  This approach by process favors phased implementations, allowing the organization to start with a 25 user system initially focused on portfolio and budget optimization, then expanding to ten of thousands of users leveraging all the business processes supported by the solution.

 

Artemis Views, a web and client server product designed to manage project based work in organizations with well-established project management practices, comprises a series of core modules including:  Project Management, Advanced Planning and Resourcing, Earned Value Management, Time Reporting, and Project Analytics.

 

Technology and Architecture
 

The technology underlying our solutions offers a highly scalable and configurable environment on a web-based architecture designed to support distributed environments.

 

Multi-Platform

 

Built in J2EE (the most established Java programming language), the application supports the majority of popular platforms and environments, allowing organizations to leverage their existing investment in deployed technologies.

 

Security

 

Role based access security ensures that authorized users are presented with an intuitive, easy to navigate interface that provides only the information appropriate to their role.

 

Internationalization

 

Designed for global deployment using multiple currencies, the application provides multi-language support including DBCS (Double Byte Character Set) and is available today in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Dutch, Japanese, Chinese and Korean.

 

Integration

 

Artemis 7 is a fully extensible solution, allowing integration with existing systems and the capacity to extend standard system functionality.  Custom Plug-ins enable event driven extensions, while our API provides for more complex integrations and extensions.  In addition, the application provides a complete XML schematic to aid custom data transfer.

 

Expansion and Strategic Alliances

 

From a sales perspective, Artemis will seek to continue to consolidate its leadership throughout Europe and Japan, while increasing sales in North America. Artemis has established a program for growth in the Japanese market, and will selectively extend its presence in emerging markets such as China and Australia.  To support our growth within specific industry market segments, we have established strategic alliances with a number of specialized consulting companies and system integrators.  These include, BearingPoint, IBM Global Services, Unilog, Fujitsu Consulting, DMR Conseil (Quebec).  Our technology focused alliances include companies such as IBM Corporation, Oracle Corporation, Microsoft Corporation, Cognos, BEA Systems, Citrix Systems and Sun Microsystems.

 

Selling and Marketing
 

We market our solutions through our own direct sales organizations in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Finland, Germany, Italy, Japan and Singapore. Additionally, our joint venture and distributor network provides sales and service capabilities in other European countries, Australia, Asia Pacific and Latin America.

We also support our growth within specific markets through consulting partnerships that enhance our total offering by providing an integrated solution deployment and systems integration capability

 

Our overall marketing strategy is to continue to position our Investment Planning and Control offering as the leading solution in the market.

To date, more than 400 companies representing 600,000 users have licensed our software solutions.

 

Intellectual Property

 

Our proprietary products are not protected by patents. However, to protect our intellectual property rights, we license our software products and require our customers to enter into license agreements that impose restrictions on their ability to utilize the software or transfer it to other users. Additionally, we seek to avoid disclosure of our trade secrets through a number of means, including, but not limited to, requiring those persons with access to our proprietary information to execute confidentiality agreements with us and restricting access to our source code. In addition, we protect our software, documentation, templates and other written materials under trademark, trade secret and copyright laws. Even with all of these efforts, there can be no assurance that such precautions will provide meaningful protection from competition or that competitors will not independently be able to develop similar technology. If, in the future, litigation is necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, and/or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and/or financial condition. As a result, we may be unable, for financial or other reasons, to enforce our rights under the various intellectual property laws as described above.

 

In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries (particularly in Asia) in which our products are or may be licensed may not protect our products and intellectual property rights to the same extent as laws of the United States. Patent protection within the World Trade Organization appears to permit substantial discretion to member countries. A notable example is China’s voidance of Pfizer’s Viagra patent, which was awarded by that country in September 2001.

 

We believe that our products do not infringe upon any valid existing proprietary rights of third parties.

 

Competition

 

With demonstrated market growth in the Project Portfolio Management software space, we expect positive trends for the application software market in general.  We also expect the intensity of existing competition to increase, particularly in the US and the UK.

 

We believe other parts of the world, such as Japan and Continental Europe, to be more sheltered from competitive pressure due to our long established presence, understanding of local market needs, and existing partnerships.

 

7



 

Our products compete with a variety of business application software and with in-house developments based on Microsoft Office developments or other programming languages.

 

Competition comes mainly from pure project portfolio software vendors, IT Management suites and some Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) modules that can initially appear attractive to customers who have implemented the ERPs for other business processes.

 

Competition varies according to the different markets we address with our solutions:

 

                  IT Management and Governance with vendors such as Niku, Mercury Interactive and Compuware

                  New Product Development with vendors such as IDE, Sopheon, SAP and MatrixOne

                  Aerospace and Defense Program management with vendors such as Primavera, Welcom, Microsoft, SAP and Oracle

 

We expect to continue to compete very favorably on a global basis due to our solution capabilities and inbuilt intelligence, together with our ability to leverage our international presence and local market intimacy.

 

Research and Development

 

We incurred research and development expenses of approximately $7.7 million, $8.2 million and $7.9 million, respectively for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.  Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs associated with the development of our products.

 

In early 2004, we changed the leadership of our product development organization and consolidated our Product Management, Development and Tier II Support functions under a single structure, Product Operations. In late 2004 we reduced the number of resources employed in our Newport Beach development center. This restructuring of our Product Operations cost base was made in the light of Artemis licensing and having the option to acquire the rights to a best-of-breed scheduling tool for Artemis 7 rather than developing it in-house. In addition, this decision has allowed us to accelerate our plan to enlarge our offshore development team; thereby increasing new product feature throughput and achieving a higher level of customer responsiveness. We have therefore increased offshore resources both in the development and quality assurance areas. This will have the immediate benefit of allowing us to deliver a major new functional module wholly developed by this offshore team in June/July 2005.

 

As we proceed through the year depending on our financial condition, we will continue to add additional resources to this offshore facility, initially to provide further coverage in the area of the Tier II support function. This will help us underpin the growth forecasted by our Asian, Chinese and Japanese distribution channels by providing support coverage geographically closer to their own time zones.

 

We believe that continued investment in research and development is critical to attaining our strategic objectives and, as a result, we expect that spending on research and development in 2005 will remain flat except for cost savings resulting from the restructuring activities described above. Already this restructuring exercise has allowed Artemis to increase its core development capacity while retaining some of the cost savings from the actions described above.

 

Our plan is to increase our R&D output to strengthen our leadership in the geographical markets and/or industries we are targeting. Major new releases will increase our ability to support additional business processes and user types, increasing our footprint in the customer’s organizations.

 

R&D efforts are performed in our facilities in the US and the UK with significant additional capacity from our partner company based in India.

 

In fiscal 2004, our R&D efforts focused primarily on our IP&C Artemis 7 based solutions and to a lesser extent on Artemis Views.

 

Services and Support

 

Drawing on the consolidated experience of a global network of consultants specialized in the definition and deployment of processes and systems to support enterprise investment planning and control, we have developed a structured Solution Management Methodology (sm2). This modular, phased approach enables reduction in deployment time thereby delivering more immediate benefits, accelerating ROI, and minimizing the risks frequently associated with the deployment of enterprise solutions. We regularly partner with consulting organizations and system integrators to increase the value delivered to our clients.

 

8



 

We offer a worldwide support network and complementary systems that ensure timely and quality responses to client requests. From all our offices worldwide, we provide both telephone and Web-based support as well as guidance on how to best use our solutions, and to resolve issues encountered during installation, deployment, and day-to-day usage of our products.

 

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2004, Artemis directly employed approximately 325 persons on a worldwide basis; 67 in the United States of America, 211 in Europe, 31 in Japan, and 16 in Asia. Our employees are not represented by labor unions or collective bargaining agreements, except as may be required by the laws of certain foreign jurisdictions.  We have not experienced any work stoppages anywhere, and consider our relations with our employees worldwide to be good.

Item 2.  Properties
 

Artemis leases all of its United States and international facilities pursuant to leases that expire from a month-to-month basis to January 31, 2010.  In addition, the Company maintains facilities in various other locations across the United States, Europe and Asia.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings
 

The Company is party to a number of legal claims arising in the ordinary course of its business.  The Company believes the ultimate resolution of these claims will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  See Note 16 - Contingencies/Litigations of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for information regarding legal proceedings.

 

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

On November 30, 2004, the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Artemis International Solutions Corporation was held (“Annual Meeting”).  The Annual Meeting involved the election of directors to the Company’s Board.  Four directors were voted on and elected by the Stockholders:  Joseph Liemandt, David Cairns, Steve Yager and Mike Murphy.  Mr. Liemandt received 10,635,652 votes in the affirmative, while 5,714 votes were withheld.  Mr. Cairns received 10,635,639 votes in the affirmative, while 5,727 votes

were withheld.  Mr. Yager received 10,635,646 votes in the affirmative, while 5,720 votes were withheld.  Mr. Murphy received 10,635,649 votes in the affirmative, while 5,717 votes were withheld.  Three individuals continued as directors after the Annual Meeting and were not voted upon:  Olle Odman, Pekka Pere and Bengt Älgevik.

 

In addition to the election of directors, five matters were voted upon and approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting.  The first such matter was a resolution to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.  The amendment reduced the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company may issue from 500,000,000 to 50,000,000, thereby reducing the total number of shares of all classes of capital stock that the Company may issue from 525,000,000 to 75,000,000 (including 25,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock).  This resolution passed, with 10,633,727 votes in the affirmative.  The number of votes cast against the resolution was 7,073, with 566 abstentions and no broker nonvotes.

 

The second additional matter was another resolution to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, effectively implementing the “20% Rule” of Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350.  The 20% Rule imposes certain requirements upon the Company before it can enter into a private transaction involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the Company of common stock (or securities convertible or exercisable into common stock) equal to 20% or more of the common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance.  (Further details on this resolution and the 20% Rule can be reviewed in the Definitive Proxy Statement pertaining to the Annual Meeting, filed by the Company with the SEC on October 25, 2004.) This resolution also passed, with 10,635,832 votes in the affirmative.  The number of votes cast against the resolution was 3,709, with 1,825 abstentions and no broker nonvotes.

 

The third additional matter was a resolution to approve an amendment to and restatement of the 2000 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan (“Non-Employee Director Plan”).  The primary revisions to the Non-Employee Director Plan effectuated by the amendment included, (i) replenishing the plan with additional options authorized for issuance under the plan, (ii) providing a specific grant to newly elected directors, and (iii) providing for an automatic, annual grant for continuing directors.  (Further details on this resolution and the amendment to and restatement of the Non-Employee Director Plan can be reviewed in the Definitive Proxy Statement pertaining to the Annual Meeting, filed by the Company with the SEC on October 25, 2004.)  This resolution also passed, with 10,622,864 votes in the affirmative.  The number of votes cast against the resolution was 17,584, with 917 abstentions and one broker nonvote.

 

The fourth additional matter was a resolution to approve an amendment to and restatement of the 2000 Stock Option Plan.  The primary revision to the 2000 Stock Option Plan effectuated by the amendment was a replenishing of the plan with additional options that are authorized for issuance under the plan.  Specifically, (i) the initial number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the plan increased from 300,000 shares to 2,000,000 shares, and (ii) the maximum number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the plan increased from 1,200,000 shares to 5,000,000 shares, after accounting for the five percent reload that is available each year immediately preceding December 31st.  (Further details on this resolution and the amendment to and restatement of the 2000 Stock Option Plan can be reviewed in the Definitive Proxy Statement pertaining to the Annual Meeting, filed by the Company with the SEC on October 25, 2004.)  This resolution also passed, with 10,346,412 votes in the affirmative.  The number of votes cast against the resolution was 294,164, with 790 abstentions and no broker nonvotes.

 

The fifth matter was a resolution to ratify the selection by the Board of Squar, Milner, Reehl & Williamson LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2004.  This resolution also passed, with 10,638,902 votes in the affirmative.  The number of votes cast against the resolution was 1,900, with 564 abstentions and no broker nonvotes.

 

Part II

 

Item 5.  Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

 

Our common stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Nasdaq Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) administered by Nasdaq.  From April 4, 2000 until June 28, 2001, our common stock was listed on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol “OPUS”.  Since June 29, 2001, our common stock has been quoted on the OTCBB, whereby effective November 25, 2001, the trading symbol on the OTCBB was changed to “AISC”.  Subsequent to the Company’s one for twenty-five reverse stock split on February 7, 2003, the trading symbol was changed to “AMSI”.  All information regarding common stock, stock options, warrants and related per share amounts has been restated within this annual report to reflect the February 7, 2003 reverse stock split.

 

Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”, common referred to as the “penny stock rule”), impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on certain broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a “penny stock”.  Subject to certain exceptions, a penny stock generally includes any non-Nasdaq equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share.  The market price of our common stock on the OTCBB during the fourteen months ended Feburary 28, 2005 has ranged between a high of $3.25 and a low of $1.35 per share, and our common stock is thus deemed to be penny stock for purposes of the Exchange Act.  The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers may discourage them from effecting transactions in our common stock, which could

severely impair the liquidity of our stock in the secondary market.

 

At March 11, 2005, the number of stockholders of record was approximately 715 (excluding beneficial owners and any shares held in street name or by nominees).  The following table sets forth the quarterly high and low sales prices based on bid quotations per share, as retroactively adjusted for the aforementioned reverse stock split.

Dividend Policy

 

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance operations and the expansion of our business. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, general business conditions, restrictions imposed by financing arrangements, legal and regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant.

 

In August 2003, the Company obtained a revolving credit facility with Laurus Master Fund Ltd. (“Laurus”). Under the Security Agreement executed in connection with the revolving credit facility, the Company may not directly or indirectly declare, pay or make any dividend or distribution on any class of its stock, except for indebtedness subordinated to Laurus.

 

11



 

On June 16, 2004, the Company completed a private placement of $9.0 million of convertible preferred stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”).  So long as at least 30% of the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company cannot, directly or indirectly, redeem, declare or pay any cash dividend or other distribution on the common stock without the prior express written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Stock Options

 

The Company has granted options to purchase the Company’s Common Stock under various plans to employees and directors.  All stock option plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which determines the terms of the options granted, including the exercise price, the number of shares subject to option, and the vesting period.  Options generally vest over terms of three to five years and have a maximum life of ten years.

 

The stock option plans adopted by Opus360 prior to the consummation of the share exchange agreement between Proha PLC and Opus360 (“the Share Exchange Transactions”) in 2001, and the related stock options continue in full force and effect.  Even though Legacy Artemis was the acquirer for accounting purposes in the Share Exchange Transactions, Opus360 as a legal entity survived the consummation of such transaction. Options granted under Opus 360 plans are redeemable in the common stock of Artemis. Following is a description of the Company’s non-stockholder approved stock option plans.

 

                  The Company assumed non-qualified stock options granted to certain key former employees of Opus360.  46,983 of these stock options with an exercise price of $250 are outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2004.  The options are exercisable until February 2010.

 

                  The Company also assumed non-qualified stock options granted to other employees of Opus360 who became Artemis employees after the Share Exchange Transactions.  At December 31, 2004, 88 of the options with a weighted average exercise price of $34.25 remained outstanding.

 

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

Set forth below is information regarding securities sold by the Company from January 2002 to date which were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“the Securities Act”).  We believe that each transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder as transactions not involving a public offering, based on the private nature of the transactions and the financial sophistication of the purchasers, all of whom had access to complete information concerning the Company and acquired the securities for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof.

(a)          On August 24, 2000 Proha purchased all of the outstanding common stock of Legacy Artemis. The purchase was structured as a share exchange whereby Proha issued shares of its publicly traded common stock to Legacy Artemis’ equity holders in exchange for all of Legacy Artemis’ common stock. As a result of the transaction Legacy Artemis recorded goodwill of approximately $30.7 million.  Legacy Artemis also recorded approximately $32.3 million of identifiable intangible assets and an expense of $2.3 million attributed to in-process research and development.

 

(b)         During the nine months ended December 31, 2000, Legacy Artemis paid a cash dividend of $140,000. No other dividends were declared or paid since Legacy Artemis’s inception.

 

(c)          The independent auditor’s report relating to the nine months ended December 31, 2000 is not included herein.

 

Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discusses the financial condition and results of operations of Artemis and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

 

Safe Harbor Statement

 

The Management’s Discussion and Analysis and other portions of this report include “forward-looking” statements (versus historical facts) within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described.  Although we believe our expectations that are expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot promise that our expectations will turn out to be correct.  Our actual results could be materially different from and worse than our expectations. With respect to forward-looking statements, the Company invokes the protection afforded by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Overview

 

Artemis is one of the world’s leading providers of investment planning and control software and services. Since 1976 we have been helping organizations improve their performance through portfolio, project and resource management. Improved performance requires continuous alignment of investments with strategic business goals, consequently the ability to effectively select, plan, budget and control investment projects becomes the key for optimizing corporate resources. We believe this creates an even greater requirement for integrated investment planning and control solutions to support the needs of value creation, visibility, governance and compliance.

 

The Company has a 29-year history of successfully delivering enterprise and project management solutions to Global 2000 customers with the most extensive portfolio, project and resource management needs. Companies trust Artemis’ software to manage their business-critical processes. Customers use our software in such key areas as (i) IT management and governance (ii) developing and launching new products such as pharmaceuticals, (iii) helping governmental agencies promote business efficiency through better alignment and allocation of resources, (iv) optimizing strategic assets in utilities and (v) managing key aerospace and defense programs.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, the valuation of long-lived and intangible assets and the amortization of intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

 

                  Revenue recognition;

 

                  Valuation of long-lived and intangible assets;

 

                  Amortization of intangible assets;

 

                  Valuation of deferred tax assets; and

 

                  Estimation of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company has adopted Statement of Position, or SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended, which generally requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair market values of each of the elements. The estimated fair value of an element is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”).  Software license revenue allocated to a software product is recognized upon delivery of the product, or deferred and recognized in future periods to the extent that an arrangement includes one or more elements that are to be delivered at a future date and for which VSOE has not been established. Maintenance and support revenue is recognized ratably over the maintenance term. First-year maintenance typically is sold with the related software license and renewed on an annual basis thereafter. Estimated fair values of ongoing maintenance and support obligations are based on separate sales of renewals to other customers or upon renewal rates quoted in the contracts. For such arrangements with multiple elements, we allocate revenue to each component of the arrangement based on the estimated fair value of the undelivered elements. Fair value of services, such as consulting or training, is based upon separate sales of these services. The Company at times may enter into multiple-customer contracts in which the Company allocates revenue based on the number of specified users at each customer, and recognizes revenue upon customer acceptance and satisfying the other applicable conditions of the above described accounting policy.

 

Services revenue is recognized as the service is performed assuming that sufficient evidence exists to estimate the fair value of the services. Consulting and training services are billed based on contractual hourly rates and revenues are recognized as the services are

 

14



 

performed. Consulting services primarily consist of implementation services related to the installation of the Company’s products which do not require significant customization to or modification of the underlying software code.

 

Significant management judgments and estimates must be made in connection with determination of the revenue to be recognized in any accounting period. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates for any period, material differences in the amount and/or timing of revenue recognized could result.

 

Valuation of long-lived and intangible assets

 

The Company’s business combinations were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. In connection with the 2001 reverse acquisition of Opus360, the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations resulted in the allocation of negative goodwill in the amount of approximately $10.5 million as a direct reduction of certain acquired Opus360 non-current assets. At December 31, 2001, the Company recorded an impairment charge which resulted in the complete write-off of goodwill and a partial write-off of its identifiable intangible assets.  (The intangible assets described in the preceding sentence were recorded in conjunction with the push-down to the Company’s consolidated financial statements of Proha’s acquisition of all of Legacy Artemis’ outstanding common stock in August 2000). As a result of the complete write off of goodwill at December 31, 2001, the adoption of SFAS No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, had no impact on the amortization expense during 2002.

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, we assess intangible assets and other long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the assets. If we determine that the carrying value of any such assets may not be recoverable, we measure impairment by using the projected discounted cash-flow method in accordance with SFAS No. 144.

 

Amortization of intangible assets

 

Intangible assets at December 31, 2004 consist of acquired customer bases. Customer bases acquired directly are valued at cost, which approximates estimated fair value at the time of purchase. The costs assigned to intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is forty two months from January 1, 2002.

 

Valuation of deferred tax assets

 

The Company records an estimated valuation allowance on its significant deferred tax assets when, based on the weight of available evidence (including the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income or loss, and tax-planning strategies), it is more likely than not that some or all of the tax benefit will not be realized.

 

Allowance for doubtful accounts receivable

 

We establish our allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on our qualitative and quantitative review of credit profiles of our customers, contractual terms and conditions, current economic trends and historical payment, return and discount experience. We reassess the allowance for doubtful accounts each period. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates for any period, material differences in the amount and/or timing of such allowance could result.

 

Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51.” The primary objectives of FIN No. 46 are to provide guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (variable interest entities, or “VIEs”), and how to determine when and which business enterprise should consolidate the VIE. This new model for consolidation applies to an entity for which either: (a) the equity investors do not have a controlling financial interest; or (b) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from other parties. In addition, FIN No. 46 requires that both the primary beneficiary and all other enterprises with a significant variable interest in a VIE make additional disclosures. As amended in December 2003, the effective dates of FIN No. 46 for public entities that are not small business issuers are as follows: (a) For interests in special-purpose entities: the first period ended after December 15, 2003; and (b) For all other types of VIEs: the first period ended after March 15, 2004. Management has determined that the Company does not have any VIEs, and there is no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendments of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. This pronouncement is effective for contracts

 

15



 

entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 (with certain exceptions), and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how a company classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity, and is effective for public companies as follows: (i) in November 2003, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 150-03 (“FSP 150-3”), which defers indefinitely (a) the measurement and classification guidance of SFAS No. 150 for all mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests in (and issued by) limited-life consolidated subsidiaries, and (b) SFAS No. 150’s measurement guidance for other types of mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests, provided they were created before November 5, 2003; (ii) for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 that are outside the scope of FSP 150-3; and (iii) otherwise, at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company adopted SFAS No. 150 on the aforementioned effective dates. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision of SFAS No. 132, Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits. This pronouncement (“SFAS No. 132-R”) expands employers’ disclosures about pension plans and other post-retirement benefits, but does not change the measurement or recognition of such plans required by SFAS No. 87, No. 88. or No. 106. SFAS No. 132-R retains the existing disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 132, and requires certain additional disclosures about defined benefit post-retirement plans. The defined benefit pension plan of the Company’s United Kingdom subsidiary is the Company’s only defined benefit post-retirement plan. Except as described in the following sentence, SFAS No. 132-R is effective for foreign pension plans for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004; after the effective date, restatement for some of the new disclosures is required for earlier annual periods. Some of the interim-period disclosures mandated by SFAS No. 132-R (such as the components of net periodic benefit cost, and certain key assumptions) are effective for foreign pension plans for quarters beginning after December 15, 2003; other interim-period disclosures will not be required for the Company until the first quarter of 2005. The interim-period disclosure requirements which became effective on January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2004 were adopted by the Company on those dates. The Company is presently evaluating the other effects of SFAS No. 132-R on its financial statement disclosures.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123-R which replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. As originally issued, SFAS No. 123 established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. However, that pronouncement permitted entities to continue applying the intrinsic-value-based model of APB Opinion 25, provided that the financial statements disclosed the pro forma net income or loss based on the fair-value method.  The Company is required to apply SFAS No. 123-R as of the first interim reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. Thus, the Company’s consolidated financial statements will reflect an expense for (a) all share-based compensation arrangements granted after June 30, 2005 and for any such arrangements that are modified, cancelled, or repurchased after that date, and (b) the portion of previous share-based awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered as of that date, based on the grant-date estimated fair value of those awards.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

2004 compared to 2003

 

Revenue

 

Software Revenue

 

Software revenue represents fees earned for granting customers licenses to use our software products.  Software revenue decreased $0.2 million or 2% to $13.1 million during 2004 from $13.3 million during 2003.  Software revenue represents 25% and 23% of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Software revenue from our flagship product, Artemis 7, which is the main platform for our investment planning and control solutions, increased to 40% of total software revenue in 2004, up from 31% in 2003. Excluding a large multi-million dollar transaction recorded in the UK of which approximately $1.6 million was recorded in 2003, software revenue for Artemis 7 increased by 107% year-over-year. In November 2004, we released Artemis 7, Version 6.0, extending its functionality and capabilities. This has in part led to higher sales in the last month of the year compared to the previous year.  The increase in software revenue in the US by $0.9 million or 32%, and our subsidiaries in Finland, up $0.5 million or 31%, Germany, up $0.5 million or 75%, and France, up $0.2 million or 9%, were more than offset by a decrease in software revenue in our UK subsidiary, down $2.4 million or 83%.

 

Support Revenue

 

Support revenue consists of fees for providing software updates and technical support for our software products.  Support revenue increased $0.6 million or 4% to $17.2 million during 2004 from $16.6 million during 2003.  This increase in support revenue was due to increases in revenues generated by our foreign subsidiaries, such as Finland, up $0.4 million or 24%, as well as Japan, Italy, France and the UK, all up $0.1 million. This was partially offset by a decrease in support revenue in the US by $0.3 million or 6%. The Company continues to emphasize cultivating the existing customer base and focusing on customer satisfaction.

 

Services Revenue

 

Services revenue consists of fees for consulting and training generated by our personnel and through subcontracted third-party arrangements.  Services revenue decreased $ 5.2 million or 19% to $22.2 million during 2004 from $27.4 million during 2003.  Of the total decline in services revenue year-over-year, $4.1 million or 79% is related to consulting services provided in the US. The decrease in service revenue is in part a result of the completion of several large consulting assignments with two large US customers. These two customers generated $2.6 million in 2004 compared to $5.0 million in 2003. Decreases in services revenue in our subsidiaries in Japan, down $1.1 million or 34%, Germany, down $0.7 million or 48%, and the UK, down $0.4 million or 8%, were only partially offset by increases in Italy, up $0.9 million or 21%, and Asia, up $0.2 million or 51%. The level of services revenue in our various operations was impacted by the timing and size of software sales and the lower level of consulting services related to our software sales of Artemis 7.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

The balance of deferred revenue decreased $2.2 million to $5.0 million at December 31, 2004 from $7.2 million at December 31, 2003.  The shift in deferred revenue is a result of the timing of our support billings and related collections.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue consists primarily of salaries and commissions paid to employees and third-party expenses principally related to consulting, software maintenance services and training services.  To a lesser extent, cost of revenue includes royalty payments to third parties.  Total cost of revenue decreased $2.5 million or 10% to $23.5 million during 2004 from $26.0 million during 2003.  Cost of revenue as a percentage of total revenue was substantially the same during 2004 and 2003 at 45%. The decrease in cost of revenue for software sales reflects the shift in product mix towards Artemis 7 software for which we have not incurred third-party royalties in 2003 and 2004. The majority of the cost of revenue is directly related to our support and service revenue.

 

Gross Margin

 

Gross margin as a percentage of total revenue remained substantially the same during 2004 and 2003 at 55%. This was achieved through a shift in mix toward software and support revenue, whereby such revenue as a percentage of total revenue increased to 58% in 2004 from 52% in the previous year. In addition, the gross margin on software revenue increased to 98% in 2004 from 95% in 2003, which was offset by decreases in gross margin on support and consulting services revenue. The gross margin percentage for services revenue decreased in 2004 as a result of the decline in services revenue and the relatively fixed cost base of our internal consultancy practice. During 2004, management has taken actions to reduce this cost by decreasing the number of internal consultants, while still keeping the skill set required for our implementation services in house.

Operating Expenses

 

Selling and marketing expenses

 

Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel related costs of our direct sales force and marketing staff and the cost of third party marketing programs, including advertising, trade shows, promotional materials and customer conferences.  Selling and marketing expenses decreased $1.6 million or 10% to $14.3 million during 2004, from $15.9 million during 2003. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in headcount and a concerted effort to match discretionary marketing expenses with the expected revenue stream.

 

Research and development

 

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs associated with the development of our products.  These expenses decreased $0.5 million or 5% to $7.7 million during 2004 from $8.2 million during 2003.

 

In early 2004, we changed the leadership of our product development organization and consolidated our Product Management, Development and Tier II Support functions under a single structure, Product Operations. In late 2004 we reduced the number of resources employed in our Newport Beach development center. This restructuring of our Product Operations cost base was made in light of Artemis licensing and having the option to acquire the rights to a best-of-breed scheduling tool for Artemis 7 rather than developing it in-house. In addition, this decision has allowed us to accelerate our plan to enlarge our offshore development team; thereby increasing new product feature throughput and achieving a higher level of customer responsiveness. We have therefore increased offshore resources both in the development and quality assurance areas. This will have the immediate benefit of allowing us to deliver a major new functional module wholly developed by this offshore team in June/July 2005.

 

As we proceed through the year depending on our financial condition, we will continue to add additional resources to this offshore facility, initially to provide further coverage in the area of the Tier II support function. This will help us underpin the growth forecasted by our Asian, Chinese and Japanese distribution channels by providing support coverage geographically closer to their own time zones.

 

Our plan is to increase our R&D output to strengthen our leadership in the geographical markets and/or industries we are targeting. Major new releases will increase our ability to support additional business processes and user types, increasing our footprint in the customer ‘s organizations.

 

General and administrative

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, wages and related costs for general corporate functions, including executive, legal, accounting, human resources and information systems. General and administrative expenses decreased $2.4 million or 22% to $8.7 million during 2004, from $11.1 million during 2003. The decrease is primarily a result of the restructuring actions taken during the year as well as efforts to reduce discretionary spending.

 

Amortization expense

 

Amortization expense represents the financial statement effect of amortizing intangible assets recorded in conjunction with the push-down to the Company’s consolidated financial statements of Proha’s purchase of Legacy Artemis in August 2000.  These assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of forty two months commencing January 1, 2002. Amortization expense was the same for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.

 

Impairment charge

 

SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations, including goodwill, when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying value. If such assets are impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair market value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair market value, less cost to sell.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company evaluated the carrying values of its intangible assets. As a result, an impairment charge of $0.9 million has been recorded in the year ended December 31, 2004.  Using discounted cash flow projections of expected returns from these assets, the Company determined that the intangible asset related to certain technology should be fully impaired.

 

19



 

Restructuring charge

 

The Company’s restructuring charges are comprised primarily of: (i) severance pay (including related payroll taxes) and associated one-time employee termination costs related to the reduction of the Company’s workforce; (ii) relocation costs resulting from organizational realignments; and (iii) professional fees incurred to improve the competitive position of the Company.  The Company accounts for the costs associated with exiting an activity, including costs associated with the reduction of the Company’s workforce, in accordance with SFAS No. 146 Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

 

As part of the restructuring actions carried out during the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company has reduced its workforce by a total of seventy one employees, from 396 to 325 (which includes scheduled terminations and voluntary resignations) or approximately 18% of its workforce.  The restructuring charge of $2.7 million in 2004 has affected corporate positions and certain operational positions in the Americas, EMEA and the Asia/Japan segments in the approximate amounts of $1.0 million, $1.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively.  This follows a similar reduction (8% of the workforce) in the last quarter of 2003, whereby these reductions were based on discretionary restructuring actions.  Approximately $0.9 million of the total restructuring charge is included in current liabilities in the accompanying December 31, 2004 consolidated balance sheet.  See the tabular presentations in Note 18 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein for additional information.

 

Inherent in the estimation of the costs related to the Company’s restructuring efforts are assessments related to the most likely expected outcome of the significant actions to accomplish the restructuring. Changing business conditions may affect the assumptions related to the timing and/or extent of the Company’s restructuring activities. The Company reviews the status of restructuring activities on a quarterly basis and, if appropriate, records changes to its restructuring obligations based on management’s most current estimates.

 

Non-operating (income) expenses, net

 

Non-operating income/expenses consist of (i) net interest expense, (ii) equity in the net income or loss of unconsolidated affiliates, (iii) foreign exchange gains, (iv) other (income) expense and (v) gain on sale of subsidiaries and investee.  The Company had net non-operating income of less than $0.1 million during 2004 compared to net non-operating income of $0.5 million during 2003.

 

The Company accounts for certain investments in other companies under the equity method of accounting.  The Company recorded equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates of $0.1 million in 2004 and net loss of unconsolidated affiliates of $0.3 million and $0.4 million in 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

In October 2003, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement for the sale of its Software Productivity Research (“SPR”) operations.  Total consideration for the sale of SPR was $0.4 million.

 

Changes in the rate of exchange for British Pound Sterling to the United States dollar resulted in foreign exchange income of $1.0 million and $0.9 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

Changes in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

 

The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to 2003 was an increase in revenues and a reduction in operating loss of approximately $4.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

The Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.  The income tax expense on the pre-tax loss of approximately $9.5 million and $7.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, is principally the result of foreign income tax on the Company’s profitable non-US subsidiaries.

2003 compared to 2002

 

Revenue

 

Software Revenue

 

Software revenue represents fees earned for granting customers licenses to use our software products.  Software revenue decreased $1.8 million or 12% to $13.3 million during 2003 from $15.1 million during 2002.  The decrease in software sales of $1.1 million in the US and $.7 million in Germany was due, in part, to spending constraints imposed on capital expenditures by our existing customer base.  However, we are seeing an increase in customer funding for projects previously planned.  In addition, with the additional functionality of Artemis 7 (formerly Portfolio Director) and the Views 7 release, we are able to meet the needs of our clients on a much wider range, thus speeding up the sales cycle.  Therefore, management expects an increase in software sales in 2004.

 

Support Revenue

 

Support revenue consists of fees for providing software updates and technical support for our software products.  Support revenue increased $0.9 million or 6% to $16.6 million during 2003 from $15.7 million during 2002.  This increase in support revenue was due to a steady increase in revenues generated by our foreign subsidiaries such as a: 30% increase in Germany, 9% increase in Italy, 19% increase in Finland and a 47% increase in Asia.  The increase in support revenues in these countries was partially offset by a decrease in support revenue in the US by 8%.  The Company has also put a renewed emphasis on cultivating the existing customer base by focusing on customer satisfaction.

 

Services Revenue

 

Services revenue consists of fees for consulting and training generated by our personnel and through subcontracted third-party arrangements.  Services revenue decreased $ 10.5 million or 28% to $27.4 million during 2003 from $37.9 million during 2002.  The decrease in service revenue is a direct result of the near completion of two very large consulting assignments at two large clients that had licensed products in prior periods.  These two clients generated $16 million in service revenue in 2002 compared to $5 million in 2003.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

The balance of deferred revenue decreased $0.8 million to $7.2 million at December 31, 2003 from $8.0 million at December 31, 2002.  The decrease is due to the following:

 

1.               Liability for prepaid consulting and support services totaling $1.0 million was released by one U.S. customer.  Therefore, the Company was able to recognize all of the deferred revenue in the third quarter of 2003.

 

2.               The prepaid software and services totaling $0.5 million by a UK customer in 2002 was released in 2003 after the services were rendered and the software criterion was accepted.  This lowered the deferred revenue balance.

 

3.               A few large supported customers, who renewed in December 2003, increased the deferred revenue by $0.3 million.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue consists primarily of salaries and commissions paid to employees and third-party expenses principally related to consulting, software maintenance services and training services.  To a lesser extent, cost of revenue includes royalty payments to third parties.  The majority of these costs of revenue are directly related to our support and service revenue.  Total cost of revenue decreased $6.7 million or 20% to $26.0 million during 2003 from $32.7 million during 2002.  Cost of revenue as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 45% during 2003 from 47% during 2002 primarily because the Company licensed a higher proportion of products with low or no associated royalty costs and due to more efficient use of staff in delivering services.  Also contributing to the decrease was that third party consultants were used less, reflective of the lower service revenue base.

 

Gross Margin

 

The primary reasons for the increased gross margin percentage on total revenue are improved efficiencies in the support organization and a reduction in third-party royalties through the shift in product mix towards Artemis 7. This was partially offset by a decrease in gross margin on services revenue due to a sharp decline in services revenue in 2003 compared to 2002.  This lowered the utilization rate of internal consultants and reduced the retention of higher-margin external consultants.

 

21



 

Operating Expenses

 

Selling and marketing expenses

 

Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel related costs of our direct sales force and marketing staff and the cost of third party marketing programs, including advertising, trade shows, promotional materials and customer conferences.  Selling and marketing expenses increased $3.4 million or 27% to $15.9 million during 2003, from $12.5 million during 2002.  During 2002, management reduced discretionary selling and marketing expenses in response to forecasts, which predicted that a challenging economy would cause our customers to delay spending on enterprise wide technology deployments.  In the latter part of 2002 management predicted a gradual recovery in the market for software.  In response to this and to support the introduction of our Portfolio solution products, management increased the Company’s marketing efforts.    In addition, during 2003 the Company realigned its marketing organization. Part of this change included the creation of a new Solutions Marketing Team, which focuses on key vertical markets to help provide more relevant and complete business solutions to customers.  The increase also in part, reflects a change in the classification of some key executive salaries and related expenses in accordance with a change in job emphasis from administration to selling and marketing (please also see General and administrative below).

 

Research and development

 

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs associated with the development of our products.  These expenses increased $0.3 million or 3.6% to $8.2 million during 2003 from $7.9 million during 2002.  This increase is primarily due to increased salaries and minor increases in travel expenses as we endeavor to bring our customers further into the product delivery process.  In early 2004, we changed the leadership of our product development organization and consolidated our Product Management, Development and Tier II Support functions under a single structure, Product Operations.  Our restructuring will also include a relocation of our California development facility to less costly premises.  The main purposes of our restructuring activity were threefold: (1) to align resources with the strategic goal of unifying and further integrating interrelated products; (2) to add to our development capacity a variable component for adaptation to dynamic conditions; and (3) to bring our development processes closer to our customers, fully committing to a customer-centric model for solutions development.

 

Specific customer-centric methodological modifications for research and development have continued to include the shortening of internal software development cycles, an iterative planning and testing practice, and movement of the feature prioritization process out of development and closer to customers.

 

We believe that continued investment in research and development is critical to attaining our strategic objectives and, as a result, we expect that spending on research and development in 2004 will remain flat except for cost savings resulting from the restructuring activities described above.  Our primary focus for 2004 is to continue the process of evolving our development methodology and to invest in product functionality in the following three ways:  (1) adding significant new capability; (2) integrating key new architectural features and technology; and (3) bringing our suite of interrelated products together into a unified solution.

 

General and administrative

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, wages and related costs for general corporate functions, including executive, legal, accounting, human resources and information systems. General and administrative expenses decreased $4.1 million or 26% to $11.1 million during 2003, from $15.2 million during 2002.

 

The decrease was primarily due to the following (i) a decrease in insurance fees due to a reduction in coverage,  (ii) a reduction in office space occupied, including the closure of our Exton, Pennsylvania facility in 2002, (iii) the elimination of payments on former OPUS360 lease agreements through expiration or settlement, (iv) the elimination of commitments under long-term phone service contracts due to settlement, (v) a change in the classification of some key executive salaries and related expense in accordance with a change in job emphasis from administration to selling and marketing and (vi) the elimination of salaries paid to duplicative OPUS360 personnel who left Artemis in 2002.

 

Amortization expense

 

Amortization expense represents the financial statement effect of amortizing intangible assets recorded in conjunction with the push-down to the Company’s consolidated financial statements of Proha’s purchase of Legacy Artemis in August 2000.  These assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining life of forty two months commencing January 1, 2002. Amortization expense remained the same during 2003 at $4.1 million.

 

Non-operating (income) expenses, net

 

Non-operating income/expenses consist of (i) net interest expense, (ii) equity in net losses of unconsolidated affiliates,

 

22



 

(iii) foreign exchange gains, (iv) other (income) expense and (v) gain on sale of subsidiaries and investee.  The Company earned net non-operating income of approximately $0.5 and $0.3 million during 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

The Company accounts for certain investments in other companies under the equity method of accounting.  The Company recorded equity in net loss of unconsolidated affiliates of $0.3 million and $0.4 million in 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

In November 2002, the Company sold its 19.9% interest in Accountor Oy to an unrelated party.  In December 2002, the Company sold its interest in ABC Technologies – France to an unrelated party.  Other income for the year ended December 31, 2002 includes pretax gains of $0.7 million and $0.3 million on the sales of our interests in Accountor Oy and ABC Technologies – France, respectively.

 

In October 2003, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement for the sale of its Software Productivity Research (“SPR”) operations.  Total consideration for the sale of SPR was $0.4 million.

 

Changes in the rate of exchange for British Pound Sterling to the United States dollar resulted in foreign exchange income of $0.9 million and $0.5 million in 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

Changes in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

 

The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to 2002 was an increase in revenues and a reduction in operating loss of approximately $5.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

The Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.  The income tax expense on the pre-tax loss of approximately $7.6  million and $3.5  million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, is principally the result of foreign income tax on the Company’s profitable non-US subsidiaries.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 

Cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003

 

At December 31, 2004 we had cash of $3.7 million compared to $2.6 million at December 31, 2003.

 

Our operating activities used approximately $8.3 million in cash during the year ended December 31, 2004.  Our net loss of $9.7 million was the major component that reduced operating cash flow. A net decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of $3.9 million and a decrease in deferred revenues of $2.2 million further reduced operating cash flow. The effects of these items on cash were offset by factors such as (i) a decrease in trade accounts receivable of $1.6 million, (ii) non-cash expenses of $4.6 million in depreciation and amortization related to our fixed assets and identifiable intangible assets, (iii) a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.4 million and (iv) a non-cash expense of $0.9 million for impairment charges related to intangible assets.

 

Our financing activities provided $10.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2004. During the first quarter of 2004 our wholly-owned subsidiary in Finland, Artemis Finland Oy (“Artemis Finland”), entered into a loan agreement with a financial institution in the amount of approximately $3.1 million. In January 2005, Proha effectively replaced the financial institution as the creditor and agreed with Artemis Finland on a payment schedule. Management expects that the loan will be repaid in full by the end of March 2005. During the second quarter of 2004, we completed the sale of convertible preferred stock resulting in net proceeds of approximately $8.6 million, of which $2.2 million was used to reduce the amount owed under the Laurus Facility, which is discussed in Note 6 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein.  As a result, the Company has a $1.5 million convertible note payable to Laurus, which becomes due August 26, 2006. At December 31, 2004, we had over advance capabilities of $3.5 million based on the Laurus Facility as well as unused credit facilities through several of our subsidiaries.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations

 

The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon several factors including the Company’s ability to sell and successfully implement its software solutions.

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, our expected cash flows from operations and our lines of credit.  Cash requirements through the end of fiscal year 2005 are primarily to fund operations at approximately the same levels as fiscal year 2004 not including the restructuring actions as described further below.  In the future, we may need to raise additional funds through public and/or private financings, or other arrangements to fund operations, strengthen our global presence or for potential acquisitions, if any.  Such additional equity financing may be dilutive to our existing stockholders.  Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including the rate of market acceptance of our products and services, our ability to service customers, our ability to maintain and expand our customer base, the level of resources required to maintain or expand our marketing and sales organization, research and development activities and other factors.  The Company cannot be assured that any financings or other arrangements will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company or at all, and any new financings or other arrangements could place operating or other restrictions on the Company.  Our inability to raise additional capital consequently could seriously harm the growth of our business and results of operations.

 

Our near and long-term operating strategies focus on promoting our new and existing solution offerings to increase revenue and cash flow while better positioning the Company to compete under current market conditions.

 

In addition to securing the $5.0 million credit facility with Laurus in 2003, we have also taken steps to reduce and defer discretionary spending to more closely match expenses with actual and projected revenues.  We initiated certain discretionary actions beginning in late 2002 to streamline the Company’s operations and focus on our core expertise in enterprise portfolio and project management. This entailed reducing the work force and selling off certain non-core assets. During 2004, following the change in management, a number of non-discretionary restructuring actions were taken to further reduce the cost base of the Company. The objective of those actions is to assure an improvement in operating margin on a moving forward basis.  The target was to rebalance the revenue mix of the Company toward higher software license and support revenues, as well as to simplify and reduce the global infrastructure.

 

On June 16, 2004 (the “Closing Date”), we completed a private placement of $9.0 million of unregistered convertible preferred stock. In connection with the private placement, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,090,909 shares of convertible preferred stock to certain accredited investors (the “Series A Holders”), priced at $2.20 per share, each of which is convertible into one share of common stock.  In addition, the Company issued to the Series A Holders (i) five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 409,090 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.64 per share that vested and became exercisable on the issuance date and (ii) 210-day warrants (the “Additional Warrants”) (a) that are exercisable only in the event that the Six Month Price (as defined below) is less than $2.20 and (b) to purchase a variable number of shares of common stock at $.01 per share based upon the Six Month Price. The number of issuable shares was determined by the “Six Month Price” which is defined as the greater of $1.75 or the lowest average closing price of the common stock of the Company for any 15 consecutive day period during the six-month period immediately following the Closing Date. As of December 15, 2004, the Six Month price was $1.98 per share, which resulted in the issuance of 456,853 Additional Warrants to the Series A Holders.  Proceeds from the financing are being used for (i) working capital, (ii) the repayment of debt, and (iii) to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet. $2.2 million of the net proceeds were transferred on behalf of Artemis directly to Laurus to pay certain over-advances due at the Closing Date.

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2004, the Company has paid a total of approximately $ 2.5 million to Proha (our parent company) in connection with the Artemis Finland loan, which is summarized above and more fully described in Note 12 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein.  The final installment payment on such loan (approximately $838,000 based on the March 15, 2005 exchange rate) is due on March 31, 2005.

 

In March 2005, we settled a dispute with Compuware Corporation (“Compuware”) related to a joint venture between our subsidiary in France and Changepoint Corporation (which was acquired by Compuware in May 2004.).  As a result, we will receive approximately $1.2 million in cash by March 31, 2005, which will be used for working capital purposes.

 

We have experienced net losses in each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004.  At December 31, 2004, we reported an accumulated deficit of approximately $92.7 million and our current liabilities exceeded current assets by approximately $3.4 million.  Our independent public accountants have included a going concern paragraph in their audit report on the Company’s December 31, 2004 consolidated financial statements which have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern (based upon management’s plans discussed above), which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.  Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein

 

24



 

do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result, should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Impact of Inflation

 

In 2004, approximately 77% of our total revenues and 56% of our total operating expenses were generated/incurred by our foreign subsidiaries. Revenues and expenses in these foreign markets are currently translated using historical and weighted-average currency exchange rates; therefore a weakening United States dollar would have a positive impact whereas a strengthening United States dollar would have an adverse impact on translations of currency from our foreign operations.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

 

Item 7a.  Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosure About Market Risk

 

At December 31, 2004, the majority of our cash balances were held primarily in the form of short- term highly liquid investment grade money market funds of major financial institutions.  Due to the short-term nature of our investments and the fact that they are marked to market daily, we believe that we are not subject to any material interest or market rate risks.

 

The Company utilizes lines of credit to fund operational cash needs.  The Company’s outstanding balance under its line of credit at December 31, 2004 was approximately $1.5 million.  The weighted average interest rate for the Company’s lines of credit during 2004 was 5.0%. We do not believe that we have material interest rate risk; however, some of our lines of credit have variable interest rates which are based on commonly used bank indices. We do not believe an immediate 10% increase or decrease in interest rate would have a material effect on our consolidated financial position.

 

We conduct a significant portion of our business in currencies other than the United States dollar.  For the year ended December 31, 2004, approximately 77% of our revenues and approximately 56% of our operating expenses were denominated in currencies other than our functional currency, the United States dollar.  These foreign currencies are primarily Euros, British Pounds, and Japanese Yen.  Changes in the value of major foreign currencies relative to the value of the United States dollar could potentially adversely affect revenues and operating results.  We do not hedge foreign currency exposure.  As a result, we will continue to experience foreign currency exchange gains and losses.

 

Item 8.  Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

 

The information required by this item appears in a subsequent section of this Report.  (See Item 15(a)(1) and (2)).

 

Item 9.  Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

No events occurred that require disclosure under Item 229.304(b) of Regulation S-K.

 

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of a date within 90 days prior to filing the Company’s December 31, 2004 Form 10-K.  Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that, as of December 31, 2004, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

 

Changes in Controls and Procedures

 

There were no significant changes made in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2004 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect these controls.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Control

 

The Company’s management, including the CEO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material errors.  An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

 

25



 

Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations on all internal control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, and/or by management override of the control.  The design of any system of internal control is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.  Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in circumstances, and/or the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective internal control system, financial reporting misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected on a timely basis.

(2)          Options expire ten years from grant date.

(3)          The potential realizable value is calculated based on the term of the option at its time of grant assuming that the stock price appreciates at the indicated annual rate compounded annually for the entire term of the option and that the option is exercised on the last day of its term for the appreciated stock price.  No gain to the option holder is possible unless the stock price increases over the option term.

(4)          Mr. Ternier’s option to purchase 250,000 shares at $1.35, vests one-third on date of grant, one-third on the first anniversary of grant date and the balance on the second anniversary of grant date.

The Board of Directors may decide, at its discretion, to defer such cash payments based on the Company’s performance and financial condition.

 

The Company’s 2000 Non-Employee Directors’ Plan (the “Non-Employee Directors Plan”) provides for automatic, non-discretionary grants of up to 300,000 non-qualified stock options to Non-Employee board members.

Item 13.    Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

 

During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company engaged Bengt-Ake Algevik to perform certain business consultancy functions for which he received consideration, including travel and other expenses, of approximately $200,000. Mr. Algevik completed his assignment in May 2004 and was appointed a director of the Company effective June 16, 2004.

 

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company had no receivables due from Proha, which, factoring in the common stock conversion rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock arising from the Preferred Series A Financing transaction as described above, owns approximately 56% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, post conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.  At December 31, $2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company had other payables to Proha of $0.3 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary in Finland, Artemis Finland Oy (“Artemis Finland”), entered into a loan agreement with a financial institution in the amount of approximately $3.1 million. The loan was orginally due on March 1, 2006 and accrues interest at 0.5 percentage points above the 3-month Euribor rate per annum, which is payable on a quarterly basis. The loan was secured by cash collateral provided by Proha equal to the loan amount and a security interest in all of Artemis Finland’s property and assets. Artemis and Proha executed a letter of commitment, whereby Proha agreed to provide the Company sufficient advance notice of its intent to demand the return of its collateral from the financial institution to give the Company a minimum of 90 days to provide additional collateral, if necessary, or repay the loan. On October 11, 2004, the Company received a notification from Proha declaring its intent to demand the return of the $3.1 million provided to the financial institution as collateral. Under this notification, the Company was required to repay the loan by January 10, 2005. On January 11, 2005, Artemis Finland and Proha informed the financial institution to use the cash collateral provided by Proha as the method by which Artemis Finland shall be deemed to have pre-paid the loan in full. Contemporaneously, Artemis Finland entered into a Payment Schedule Agreement (“Payment Agreement”) with Proha, whereby Proha effectively replaced the financial institution as the creditor and Artemis Finland agreed to pay Proha 2.5 million Euros in three installments (1.25 million Euros by January 17, 2005, 625,000 Euros by February 28, 2005 and 625,000 Euros by March 31, 2005).  The first two installments were paid on the due date and the Company expects to make the remaining payment according to the Payment Agreement.

 

There are several related party agreements in place between Artemis Finland and Proha or its subsidiaries and investees as further described below:

 

                  During 2002, Artemis Finland incurred $309,000 in fees for certain business consulting, legal and accounting services provided by Proha.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Audit Committee is responsible for pre-approving all audit and permitted non-audit services to be performed for us by our independent registered public accounting firm as outlined in its Audit Committee charter. Prior to engagement of the independent auditor for each year’s audit, management or the independent registered public accounting firm submits to the Audit Committee for approval an aggregate request of services expected to be rendered during that year, which the Audit Committee pre-approves. During the year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage the independent registered public accounting firm for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval. In those instances, the Audit Committee requires specific pre-approval before engaging the independent registered public accounting firm.  The Audit Committee does not delegate to management its responsibility to pre-approve services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Artemis International Solutions Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Artemis International Solutions Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity (deficit) and comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $3.4 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $92.7 million at December 31, 2004, and experienced negative operating cash flow during the year then ended.  These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 1.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ARTEMIS INTERNATIONAL SOLUTIONS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization and Description of Business

 

Artemis International Solutions Corporation, including its subsidiaries (“Artemis”, the “Company,” or “we”), is one of the world’s leading providers of investment planning and control software and services.  Since 1976 the Company has been helping organizations improve their performance through portfolio, project and resource management.

 

Customers use the Company’s software and services in such key areas as (i) IT management and governance, (ii) developing new products such as pharmaceuticals, (iii) helping governmental agencies promote business efficiency through better alignment and allocation of resources, (iv) maintaining nuclear power stations and (v) managing the Joint Strike Fighter program for the US government.  The Company has an international distribution network in over 44 countries.

 

As of December 31, 2004, approximately 78% (or 56%, assuming conversion of all preferred shares) of the Company’s outstanding common stock was owned by Proha Plc (“Proha”), a Finnish Company.

 

Artemis’ common stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board administered by Nasdaq under the symbol “AMSI”.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations

 

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has included a “going concern” explanatory paragraph in their audit report on the December 31, 2004 consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  Accordingly, such financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result, should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  At December 31, 2004, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded current assets by approximately $3.4 million and the Company reported a cash balance of $3.7 million. Operating cash flow was negative $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The Company has taken a number of actions to improve its financial strength and cash availability including but not limited to restructuring actions taken in 2004 (see below and Note 18). On June 16, 2004, the Company completed a private placement of $9.0 million of convertible preferred stock (see Note 14) significantly strengthening the Company’s financial position. Proceeds from the financing are being used for (i) working capital, (ii) the repayment of debt and (iii) to strengthen the Company’s financial position.

 

Prior to the private placement, the Company entered into a $5.0 million asset-based lending facility with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd (“Laurus”) in August 2003 which was amended on July 30, 2004 (see Note 6) to increase the Company’s financial flexibility.  The Company also has other lending facilities available to certain of its subsidiaries, such as in Japan and France.

 

In addition to the lending facilities available to the Company, management has taken other steps to reduce and defer discretionary spending to more closely match expenses with actual and projected revenues. In late 2002, the Company decided to start divesting certain non-core investments and operations to focus on its core expertise in enterprise portfolio and project management. This resulted in the sale of its 19.9% interest in Accountor Oy (Finland), ABC Technologies Sarl (France) and its Software Productivity Research operations (US) in November 2002, December 2002 and October 2003, respectively. During 2003, the Company also initiated discretionary restructuring activities that included workforce reductions and other cost reductions to respond to the weakening of certain of the Company’s markets, increased operating losses and negative cash flow from operations. Because some of the Company’s key operating metrics did not improve in late 2003, the Company adopted a nondiscretionary restructuring plan (see Note 18) that was implemented and communicated to the employees affected by the related workforce reductions during the year ended December 31, 2004.

Reverse Stock Split

 

On February 7, 2003, the Company effected a one for twenty-five reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. All information regarding common stock, stock options, warrants and related per share amounts has been restated within this annual report to reflect the reverse stock split.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to the 2004 presentation.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Artemis International Solutions Corporation and its majority owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Equity investments in which Artemis owns at least 20% of the voting securities, or exercises significant influence (either individually or in concert with its majority shareholder, Proha) are accounted for using the equity method.  Investments in which the Company owns less than 20% and is not able to exercise significant influence over the investee are accounted for under the cost method of accounting.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding revenue recognition, and the recoverability of intangible assets that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates include valuation of deferred tax assets, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, revenue recognition, valuation and useful economic lives of intangible assets, accrued pension liabilities and certain other liabilities.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company has adopted Statement of Position, or SOP, 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (which supersedes SOP 91-1, Software Revenue Recognition), as well as SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Transactions, which amends SOP 97-2 and supercedes SOP 98-4.  SOP 97-2, as amended, generally requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements to be allocated to each element based on the relative estimated fair market value of each element. The estimated fair value of an element is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”). Software license revenue allocated to a software product is recognized upon delivery of the product or deferred and recognized in future periods to the extent that an arrangement includes one or more elements that are to be delivered at a future date and for which VSOE has not been established.  Maintenance and support revenue is recognized ratably over the maintenance term.  First-year maintenance typically is sold with the related software license and renewed on an annual basis thereafter. Estimated fair values of ongoing maintenance and support obligations are based on separate sales of renewals to other customers or upon renewal rates quoted in the contracts. For such arrangements with multiple elements, we allocate revenue to each component of the arrangement based on the estimated fair value of the undelivered elements. Fair value of services, such as consulting or training, is based upon separate sales of these services. The Company at times may enter into multiple-customer contracts in which the Company allocates revenue based on the number of specified users at each customer, and recognizes revenue upon customer acceptance and satisfying the other applicable conditions of the above described accounting policy.

 

Services revenue is recognized as the service is performed assuming that sufficient evidence exists to estimate the fair value of the services.  Consulting and training services are billed based on contractual hourly rates and revenues are recognized as the services are performed. Consulting services primarily consist of implementation services related to the installation of the Company’s products which do not require significant customization to or modification of the underlying software code.

 

F-8



 

Significant management judgments and estimates must be made in connection with determination of the revenue to be recognized in any accounting period.  If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates for any period, material differences in the amount and/or timing of revenue recognized could result.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of software revenue primarily reflects the manufacture expense and royalties to third party developers, which are recognized upon delivery of the product or in future periods to the extent that an arrangement includes one or more elements that are to be delivered at a future date and for which VSOE has not been established.  Cost of support revenue includes (i) sales commissions and salaries paid to employees who provide first and second level support to clients and (ii) fees paid to consultants, which are recognized as the services are performed.  Sales commissions are expensed as incurred.  The costs incurred for implementation, customer support and training of the Company’s clients using internal or external resources are recorded as cost of services revenue when the services are performed.

 

Software Development Costs

 

The costs incurred to develop computer software products to be sold or otherwise marketed are charged to expense until technological feasibility of the product has been established. Once technological feasibility of related software products has been established, computer software development costs are capitalized and reported at the lower of amortized cost or estimated net realizable value. When a product is ready for general release to the public, its capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method of amortization over a period not to exceed three years. Company management believes that technological feasibility is not established until a beta version of the product exists. Historically, costs incurred during the period from when a beta version is available until general release to the public have not been material. Accordingly, during the three years ended December 31, 2004, no software costs have been capitalized.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable

 

We establish the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on our qualitative and quantitative review of credit profiles of our customers, contractual terms and conditions, current economic trends and historical payment, return and discount experience. We reassess the allowance for doubtful accounts each period. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates for any period, material differences in the amount and/or timing of such allowance could result.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, which are calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the related assets (generally ranging from three to five years), or the remaining lease term when applicable.  Gains and losses on disposals are included in results of operations at amounts equal to the difference between the book value of the disposed assets and the proceeds received upon disposal. Expenditures for replacements and leasehold improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets at December 31, 2004 consist of acquired customer base valued at cost, which approximates estimated fair value at the time of purchase.   The cost assigned to this intangible asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, which is forty-two months from January 1, 2002.  Management believes that the straight-line method is appropriate for the Company’s customer list, given the caliber and nature of its customer relationships.  Substantially all intangible assets remaining at December 31, 2004 will be fully amortized by July 2005, assuming no impairment adjustments or future changes in their estimated useful lives.

 

Intangible assets are reviewed at least annually for impairment to ensure they are appropriately valued.  Conditions that may indicate an impairment issue exists include an economic downturn or a change in the assessment of future operations.  Where applicable, an appropriate interest rate is utilized, based on applicable economic factors, risk and cost of capital.

 

For additional information, see the discussion in “Impairment of Long-Lived Assets” immediately below.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

 

F-9



 

SFAS No. 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations, including amortizable intangible assets when indicators of impairment are present.  In the event a condition is identified that may indicate an impairment issue, an assessment is performed using a variety of methodologies, including analysis of undiscounted future cash flows, estimates of sales proceeds and independent appraisals.  If such assets are impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying value or estimated fair market value, less cost estimated to sell.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2004 the Company reviewed its intangible assets for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144.  As a result the Company fully impaired such intangible asset related to the Company’s prior core technology and recorded an impairment charge of approximately $0.9 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2004.  No such impairment charges were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2003 or December 31, 2002.  (See Note 5).

 

Exit and Disposal Activities

 

The Company accounts for expenses related to non-discretionary restructuring activities (including workforce reductions) in accordance with SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit and Disposal Activities.”  GAAP prohibits the recognition of an exit-activity liability until (a) certain criteria (which demonstrate that it is reasonably probable that a present obligation to others has been incurred) are met, and (b) the fair value of such liability can be reasonably estimated.  The Company recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $2.7 million in calendar 2004.  See Note 18 for additional information.

 

Translation of Foreign Currencies

 

Artemis uses the U.S. dollar as it functional currency.  Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the year or other period presented. In accordance with SFAS 52, Foreign Currency Translation, translation adjustments are included as a component of stockholders’ deficit. The Company recorded a foreign exchange gain of $0.4 million, $0.7 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  SFAS No. 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or income tax returns.  Under this method deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse  (See Note 10).

 

Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets

 

The Company records an estimated valuation allowance on its significant deferred tax assets when, based on the weight of available evidence (including the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income or loss, and tax-planning strategies), it is more likely than not that some or all of the tax benefit will not be realized.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -Transition and Disclosure – an amendment of SFAS No. 123.”  SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.  In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure 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.  As provided in SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to apply APB Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation plans.  APB No. 25 does not require options to be expensed when granted with an exercise price equal to or greater than the grant-date market value.  The Company is complying with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148.

Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its options under SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net loss would have been increased to the pro forma amount indicated below:

Segment Information

 

The Company discloses information regarding segments in accordance with SFAS No. 131 Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.  SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for reporting of financial information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports.  The Company is managed, and financial information is developed on a geographical basis, rather than a product line basis.  Thus, the Company has provided segment information on a geographical basis (see Note 11).

 

Comprehensive Income/Loss

 

The Company reports comprehensive income/loss in accordance with SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income.  SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income/loss and its components.  SFAS No. 130 requires that unrealized holding gains and losses, net of related tax effects, on available-for-sale securities be reported as comprehensive income/loss until realized.  SFAS No. 87 requires that some or all of the additional minimum liability (as defined) related to defined benefit pension plans (see Note 9) be reported as comprehensive loss.  Foreign currency translation gains and losses are also included in comprehensive income/loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) and comprehensive income (loss).

 

See Notes 19 and 9, respectively, for discussion of the restatement of the December 31, 2003 and 2002 consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) and comprehensive income (loss).

 

Postemployment Benefits

 

The Company records postemployment benefits in accordance with SFAS No. 87, Employers’ Accounting for Pensions, and SFAS No. 88, Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits.  The Company discloses postemployment benefits in accordance with SFAS No. 132, Employers’ Disclosure about Pensions

 

F-11



 

and Other Postemployment Benefits, as amended (see below).  SFAS No. 132 establishes standards for employers who provide benefits to former or inactive employees after employment but before retirement.  Postemployment benefits include, but are not limited to, salary continuation, supplemental employment benefits and disability related benefits.

 

Earnings/ Loss per Common Share

 

The Company calculates earnings or loss per common share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share.  Accordingly, basic loss per common share excludes dilution for potentially dilutive securities and is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (See Note 8). Diluted earnings per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. When a company is in a loss position, basic and diluted loss per common share are the same.

 

Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51.” The primary objectives of FIN No. 46 are to provide guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (variable interest entities, or “VIEs”), and how to determine when and which business enterprise should consolidate the VIE. This new model for consolidation applies to an entity for which either: (a) the equity investors do not have a controlling financial interest; or (b) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from other parties. In addition, FIN No. 46 requires that both the primary beneficiary and all other enterprises with a significant variable interest in a VIE make additional disclosures. As amended in December 2003, the effective dates of FIN No. 46 for public entities that are not small business issuers are as follows: (a) For interests in special-purpose entities: the first period ended after December 15, 2003; and (b) For all other types of VIEs: the first period ended after March 15, 2004. Management has determined that the Company does not have any VIEs, and there is no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendments of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. This pronouncement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 (with certain exceptions), and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how a company classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity, and is effective for public companies as follows: (i) in November 2003, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 150-03 (“FSP 150-3”), which defers indefinitely (a) the measurement and classification guidance of SFAS No. 150 for all mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests in (and issued by) limited-life consolidated subsidiaries, and (b) SFAS No. 150’s measurement guidance for other types of mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests, provided they were created before November 5, 2003; (ii) for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 that are outside the scope of FSP 150-3; and (iii) otherwise, at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company adopted SFAS No. 150 on the aforementioned effective dates. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision of SFAS No. 132, Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits. This pronouncement (“SFAS No. 132-R”) expands employers’ disclosures about pension plans and other post-retirement benefits, but does not change the measurement or recognition of such plans required by SFAS No. 87, No. 88. or No. 106. SFAS No. 132-R retains the existing disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 132, and requires certain additional disclosures about defined benefit post-retirement plans. The defined benefit pension plan of the Company’s United Kingdom subsidiary is the Company’s only defined benefit post-retirement plan. Except as described in the following sentence, SFAS No. 132-R is effective for foreign pension plans for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004; after the effective date, restatement for some of the new disclosures is required for earlier annual periods. Some of the interim-period disclosures mandated by SFAS No. 132-R (such as the components of net periodic benefit cost, and certain key assumptions) are effective for foreign pension plans for quarters beginning after December 15, 2003; other interim-period disclosures will not be required for the Company until the first quarter of 2005. The interim-period disclosure requirements which became effective on January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2004 were adopted by the Company on those dates. The Company is presently evaluating the other effects of SFAS No. 132-R on its interim-period financial statement disclosures.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123-R which replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. As originally issued, SFAS No. 123 established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. However, that pronouncement permitted entities to continue applying the intrinsic-value-based model of APB Opinion 25, provided that the financial statements disclosed the pro forma net income or loss based on the fair-value method.  The Company is required to apply SFAS No. 123-R

 

F-12



 

as of the first interim reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. Thus, the Company’s consolidated financial statements will reflect an expense for (a) all share-based compensation arrangements granted after June 30, 2005 and for any such arrangements that are modified, cancelled, or repurchased after that date, and (b) the portion of previous share-based awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered as of that date, based on the grant-date estimated fair value of those awards.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 2.  Divestitures and Material Licensing Agreements

 

Sale of Accountor Oy

 

In November 2002, the Company sold its 19.9% interest in Accountor Oy to Pretax Ltd, an unrelated party.  Under the terms of the sale, the Company’s gross proceeds were $0.8 million less transaction costs and purchase commitments (net of reimbursements) of approximately $0.1 million.  The Company’s investment in Accountor Oy was carried at less than $0.1 million at the time of sale.  Accordingly, the Company’s other income for the year ended December 31, 2002 includes a pretax gain of $0.7 million on the sale of Accountor Oy.  During 2003, subsequent events occurred that caused adjustments to the purchase price, as provided in the original agreements.  The result is the Company’s other income for the year ended December 31, 2003 includes a reduction of $0.1 million of the 2002 pretax gain on the sale of Accountor Oy.  The final pretax gain on the sale of Accountor Oy was $0.6 million.

 

Sale of ABC Technologies- France

 

In December 2002, the Company sold its interest in ABC Technologies – France (“ABC Technologies”) to an unrelated party.  Under the terms of the sale, the Company collected proceeds of approximately $0.3 million in 2003. Based in Paris, France, ABC Technologies was managed by Artemis’ French subsidiary.  The Company’s investment in ABC Technologies was carried at approximately zero at the time of sale.  Accordingly, the Company’s other income for the year ended December 31, 2002 includes a pretax gain of $0.3 million on the sale of ABC Technologies.  Based on achieving certain milestones, an additional $0.1 million of consideration was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

Sale of Assets of Software Productivity Research

 

In October 2003, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement for the sale of its Software Productivity Research (“SPR”) operations.  Total consideration received for the sale of SPR, including liabilities assumed by the buyer, was $0.4 million.

 

Licensing Agreement with Advanced Management Solutions

 

In December 2004, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the “AMS Agreement”) with Advanced Management Solutions Inc. (“AMS”), a company providing Enterprise Project and Resource Management solutions, whereby (i) the Company obtained the worldwide exclusive right to use, market and grant sub-licenses with respect to certain software developed by AMS (the “AMS Software), (ii) AMS will provide additional development services under direction of the Company, and (iii) the Company has obtained the right to purchase the AMS Software through November 30, 2006.

 

The initial term of the software license ends November 30, 2007, and is renewable for one additional three-year term. The Company has agreed on certain minimum royalty payments to secure worldwide exclusivity. Also as part of the transaction, the Company agreed to pay AMS $0.5 million to secure the option to purchase the AMS Software. This option fee is non-recoverable on the condition that the initially delivered AMS Software meets generally accepted industry standards. Further, the Company has agreed to fund the additional development work with $0.5 million to be paid in five installments. The first such installment of $0.1 million was paid in December 2004.  The purchase price for the AMS Software is $2.5 million and is payable in two annual installments, should the Company elect to exercise such option.

The Company’s proprietary products are not protected by patents.  However, to protect the Company’s intellectual property rights, the Company licenses its software products and requires its customers to enter into license agreements that impose restrictions on their ability to utilize the software or transfer it to other users.  Additionally, the Company seeks to avoid disclosure of its trade secrets through a number of means, including, but not limited to, requiring those persons with access to the Company’s proprietary information to execute confidentiality agreements with the Company and restricting access to the Company’s source code.  In addition, the Company protects its software, documentation, templates and other written materials under trademark, trade secret and copyright laws.  Even with all of these efforts, there can be no assurance that such precautions will provide meaningful protection from competition or that competitors will not independently be able to develop similar technology.  If, in the future, litigation is necessary to enforce the Company’s intellectual property rights, to protect the Company’s trade secrets, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and/or financial condition.  Ultimately, the Company may be unable, for financial or other reasons, to enforce its rights under the various intellectual property laws as described above.  In addition, the laws of certain countries in which the Company’s products are or may be licensed may not protect the Company’s  intellectual property rights to the same extent as laws of the United States.

 

The Company believes that its products do not infringe upon any valid existing proprietary rights of third parties.

 

Note 6. Debt

 

In June 2003, the Company paid off its note payable and line of credit with Wells Fargo Foothill (“Foothill”) and declined the option to extend the underlying loan and security agreement with Foothill.

 

Also in June 2003, the Company obtained a bridge loan of $3.5 million from Proha, accruing interest at 4.75% per annum, which was fully repaid by the Company during the quarter ended September 30, 2003.

 

On August 14, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”) and received a $5.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Laurus Facility”) in the form of a three-year convertible note (the “Secured Convertible Note”) secured by an interest in all of the Company’s property and assets located in the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK), except for intellectual property rights. Borrowings under the Laurus Facility are based on the balance of eligible trade accounts receivable reported by the Company’s operating entities in the US and the UK. The Laurus Facility automatically renews every three years unless cancelled by the Company or Laurus. In conjunction with the original transaction, Laurus was paid a fee of $175,000 and received a ten-year transferable warrant (the “Laurus Warrant”) to purchase 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The estimated fair value of the Laurus Warrant of approximately $237,000 has been treated as additional interest expense and is being amortized over the three-year life of the Laurus Facility, unless sooner terminated. The fair value of the Laurus Warrant was estimated based on the following assumptions: expected volatility: 272%; dividends: zero; risk free interest rate: 2.6%; and expected life of the warrant: five years. The warrant permits Laurus to purchase up to 50,000, 50,000, and 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at exercise prices of $3.41, $4.10, and $4.78 per share, respectively. The Laurus Warrant exercise price and the number of shares underlying the warrant are subject to anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits, combinations and dividends.

 

In June 2004, the Company used $2.2 million of the net proceeds of the private placement of $9.0 million of convertible preferred stock (the “Preferred Series A Financing”) completed on June 16, 2004 to reduce the amount outstanding under the Laurus Facility from $3.5 million to $1.3 million. On July 30, 2004, the Company and Laurus agreed to amend the Laurus Facility by replacing the Secured Convertible Note of up to $5.0 million with a Secured Convertible Minimum Borrowing Note (the “Minimum Borrowing Note”) in the amount of $1.5 million and a Secured Revolving Note of up to $3.5 million (collectively the “Laurus Restructuring”). Effective upon the execution of the Laurus Restructuring documents on July 30, 2004,  the $1.3 million outstanding under the Laurus Facility was incorporated as monies provided by Laurus under the Minimum Borrowing Note.  In August 2004, Laurus provided Artemis an additional $0.2 million under the Minimum Borrowing Note, thereby exhausting the funds available to Artemis under the Minimum Borrowing Note.

 

The Minimum Borrowing Note is due on August 26, 2006 and is convertible into common stock of the Company at the option of the holder at the following prices: 190,000 shares at $1.45 per share, 190,000 shares at $1.81 per share, and 342,646 shares at $2.57 per share, totaling $1.5 million or 722,646 shares of common stock of the Company.  Loans exceeding $1.5 million may be available to the Company under the Secured Revolving Note, based on the balance of the Company’s eligible trade accounts receivable. If the balance on the Minimum Borrowing Note is zero, such portion of the balance of the Secured Revolving Note that exceeds $1.0 million shall be deemed to be extinguished on the Secured Revolving Note and transferred to a new serialized Minimum Borrowing Note. Once a new serialized Minimum Borrowing Note reaches the sum of $1.5 million, the Company is required to file a registration statement with the SEC to register the shares underlying the new serialized Minimum Borrowing Note. Thereafter, the conversion price adjusts to 105% of the average closing market price of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding each additional serialized $1.5 million Minimum Borrowing Note. All of the aforementioned conversion prices are subject to an anti-dilution provision in the form of a price protection clause. Under the terms of the related agreement, absent an event of default as defined, conversion of the Minimum Borrowing Note into the Company’s common stock may not result in beneficial ownership by Laurus (including shares

issuable under the Laurus Warrant that are exercisable within sixty days of any determination date) of more than 2.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Minimum Borrowing Note has a 30% prepayment penalty. Any loans under the Secured Revolving Note are convertible only in an event of default. The Company currently has no loans outstanding under the Secured Revolving Note.

 

The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC on November 3, 2004 (which was amended in December 2004 and January 2005) to register the common stock underlying the Minimum Borrowing Note and the Laurus Warrant.  The SEC declared such registration statement effective on February 3, 2005.

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2004, Laurus converted $0.2 million of the outstanding $1.5 million Minimum Borrowing Note in exchange for 166,700 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary in Finland, Artemis Finland Oy (“Artemis Finland”), entered into a loan agreement with a financial institution in the amount of approximately $3.1 million which has been partially repaid subsequent to year end (See Note 12).

 

Interest paid for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was approximately $0.3 million, $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Note 9. Benefit Plans

 

The Company has a defined contribution plan (“the Plan”) which qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Plan covers all U.S. employees who may contribute up to 15% of their annual compensation with an annual maximum of $13,000 for calendar 2004. Employer contributions vest to the participants incrementally over a period of five years. Company contributions to the Plan were $54,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004 and zero during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.

 

The Company also has a defined benefit pension plan covering the employees of its United Kingdom subsidiary. Company contributions are determined based upon a percentage, as determined by an actuary, of an eligible employee’s annual salary.  Company contributions to the defined benefit pension plan during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 were $0.5 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

As permitted by SFAS No. 87, Employers’ Accounting for Pensions, actuarial gains and losses are generally not amortized to pension expense in the period in which they arise when the gain/loss is not yet included in the market-related value of plan assets.  GAAP allows such deferral accounting in any period in which the beginning-of-the-year unrecognized actuarial net gain or loss does not exceed 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market-related value of plan assets.  For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company’s defined benefit pension plan was eligible for the deferral accounting described in the preceding sentence.  Thus pension expense for 2002 does not include any amortization of the actuarial net change in the market-related value of plan assets.

 

The accounting for the Company’s defined benefit pension plan described above requires that an additional minimum liability (as defined) be recorded when certain conditions are met at the balance sheet date.  Since the Company’s unrecognized prior service cost was nil at December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the increase in such liability was charged directly to stockholders’ deficit as a component of other comprehensive loss.  Management determined that the Company did not reflect the additional minimum liability in the 2002 consolidated financial statements included in its December 31, 2003 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2004.  The accompanying consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2002 was restated in July 2004 to reflect an additional minimum pension liability of approximately $1,060,000.  This adjustment did not affect the previously reported net loss for the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

In July 2004, the Company also revised certain disclosures in the above tables relating to (a) the December 31, 2003 and 2002 funded status of the pension plan and (b) the December 31, 2003 fair value of the pension plan’s assets.  The differences principally resulted from the combination of a mathematical error and misapplication of certain financial-statement disclosure requirements.  Since the related amounts were properly reported in the previously issued financial statements, the amended disclosures described in this paragraph did not effect the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The components of deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 relate primarily to the recording of non-deductible intangible assets from the acquisition of Legacy Artemis by Proha in August 2000 and the contribution of businesses to Legacy Artemis by Proha in December 2000.

 

Income taxes paid for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 were less than $0.5 million for each year.  The Company has a U.S. federal tax net operating loss carryforward (“NOL”) of approximately $28 million at December 31, 2004 that begins expiring in 2009 and U.S. state NOL’s with expiration dates ranging from five to 20 years.  Foreign NOL’s that may be allowed under the tax laws in applicable foreign countries are not significant.

 

The utilization of some or all of the domestic NOL’s may be severely restricted now or in the future by the change in ownership provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued FSP 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.”  FSP 109-2 states that an enterprise is allowed time beyond the financial reporting period of enactment to evaluate the effects of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”) on its plan for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings for the purposes of applying SFAS No. 109.  The Company has not yet completed evaluating the impact of the repatriation provisions of the Act.  Given the preliminary stage of the Company’s evaluation, it is not possible at this time to determine what impact (if any) the repatriation provisions will have on the consolidated income tax accruals or the Company’s effective income tax rate.  Accordingly, as provided by FSP 109-2, the Company has not adjusted its income tax expense or deferred tax liability to reflect the repatriation provisions of the Act.

Note 12. Other Related Party Transactions

 

During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company engaged Bengt Algevik to perform certain business consultancy functions for which he received consideration, including reimbursement of travel and other expenses, of approximately $200,000. Mr. Algevik completed his assignment in May 2004 and was appointed as a director of the Company effective June 16, 2004.

 

At December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company had no receivables due from Proha, which, factoring in the common stock conversion rights of the holders of the Series A preferred stock (see Note 14) owns approximately 56% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on a post-conversion basis.  At December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company had other payables to Proha of $0.3 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

 

F-23



 

On March 1, 2004, Artemis Finland entered into a loan agreement with a financial institution in the amount of approximately $3.1 million. The loan was originally due on March 1, 2006 and accrues interest at 0.5 percentage points above the 3-month Euribor rate per annum, which is payable on a quarterly basis. The loan was secured by cash collateral provided by Proha equal to the loan amount and a security interest in substantially all of Artemis Finland’s assets. Artemis and Proha executed a letter of commitment, whereby Proha agreed to provide the Company sufficient advance notice of its intent to demand the return of its collateral from the financial institution.  On October 11, 2004, the Company received a notification from Proha declaring its intent to demand the return of its $3.1 million collateral. Under this notification, the Company was required to repay the loan by January 10, 2005. On January 11, 2005, Artemis Finland and Proha informed the financial institution to use the cash collateral provided by Proha as the method by which Artemis Finland shall be deemed to have pre-paid the loan in full. Contemporaneously, Artemis Finland entered into a Payment Schedule Agreement (“Payment Agreement”) with Proha, whereby Proha effectively replaced the financial institution as the creditor and Artemis Finland agreed to pay Proha 2.5 million Euros in three installments (1.25 million Euros by January 17, 2005, 625,000 Euros by February 28, 2005 and 625,000 Euros by March 31, 2005).  The first two installments totaling approximately $2.5 million were paid on the due date and the Company expects to make the remaining payment according to the Payment Agreement.  The  payment due on March 31, 2005 approximates $838,000 (based on the March 15, 2005 exchange rate).

 

There are several related party agreements in place between Artemis Finland and Proha or its subsidiaries and investees as further described below:

 

                  During 2002, Artemis Finland incurred $309,000 in fees for certain business consulting, legal and accounting services provided by Proha.

 

                  Additionally, Artemis Finland shares office space with Proha, for which Proha charges Artemis Finland a share of its office-related costs (“Office Allocation Charge”), such as rent, utilities, telecommunication costs, office maintenance and certain other business costs based on headcount. The Office Allocation Charge was $431,000, $341,000, and $290,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

                  Accountor Oy, a provider of accounting and payroll services, which was owned by Proha (80.1%) and Artemis (19.9%) through November 2002 until its sale to an unrelated party, is providing certain bookkeeping, payroll and reporting services (“Service Charge”) to Artemis Finland.  The Service Charge was  $0, $80,000 and $82,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

                  Intellisoft Oy, an application service provider, which is owned by Proha (80.1%) and Artemis (19.9%), is providing certain application hosting and other services to Artemis Finland and its customers (“ASP Services Fee”). The ASP Services Fee was  $116,000, $254,000 and $354,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

                  Datamar Oy, a subsidiary of Proha (90%), is providing certain project management and programming services to Artemis Finland (“Management Programming Fee”). The Management Programming Fee charged to Artemis Finland was $173,000, $229,000 and $340,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

                  Tesnet Group Oy (formerly Intellitest International Oy), a company partially owned by Proha (35%), provides certain software testing services to Artemis Finland (“Testing Services”).  These Testing Services were $175,000, $225,000 and $219,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

                  Artemis Finland is a distributor of software products provided by Safran Software Solutions AS (“Safran”), a Norwegian company wholly owned by Proha. The royalty paid by Artemis Finland to Safran was $29,000, $47,000, and $129,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

                  Artemis Finland has provided certain software development services to ProCountor International Oy (“ProCountor”), a company majority owned by Proha (63%).  Artemis Finland has charged  $0, $0 and $17,000 to ProCountor for such software development services for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.  ProCountor has  provided certain software development services to Artemis Finland and charged a fee for use of a web-based travel and expense claims program of $20,000, $11,000 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

                  Artemis Finland cooperated with Futura One Oy, a company majority owned by Proha (51%). Artemis Finland has charged  $0, $0 and $17,000 to Futura One for software development services for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

In September 2000, Artemis International France Sarl (“Artemis France”) entered into a joint venture agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Canadian company Changepoint Corporation (“Changepoint”) and established the joint venture, Changepoint France Sarl (“Changepoint France”).  Artemis France and Changepoint own 40% and 60% of Changepoint France, respectively.  The Agreement provides for a put and call option for Artemis France to sell and Changepoint to purchase the 40% interest held by Artemis France under certain conditions.  The Company has exercised its put option to sell its 40% interest in Changepoint France. In May 2004, Compuware Corporation acquired privately held Changepoint. 

 

The Company initiated arbitration proceedings with respect to its claims and has settled this dispute subsequent to December 31, 2004.  As a result, the Company will receive approximately $1.2 million in cash by March 31, 2005, representing the nominal value of the shares held by Artemis France in the joint venture, shareholder loans and other receivables owed to the Company.

 

Note 13. Concentration of Credit Risk

 

During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, one customer, Lockheed Martin Corporation, accounted for approximately $3.8 million (about 7%), $5.7 million (about 10%) and $12.3 million (about 18%), respectively, of consolidated revenue.  Substantially all of this revenue was generated in the Americas segment of the Company’s operations.

See Note 3 for an analysis of the Company’s trade accounts receivable by segment/geographic region.

The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers.

 

Note 14. Stockholders’ Equity

 

On June 16, 2004 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed a private placement of $9.0 million of unregistered convertible preferred stock (the “Preferred Series A Financing”).  In connection with this transaction, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,090,909 shares of convertible preferred stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) to certain accredited investors (the “Series A Holders”), priced at $2.20 per share, each of which is convertible into one share of the Company’s common stock.

 

In addition, the Company issued to the Series A Holders (i) five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 409,090 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.64 per share (the “Initial Warrants”) and (ii) 210-day warrants (the “Additional Warrants”) (a) that are exercisable only in the event that the Six Month Price (as defined below) is less than $2.20 and (b) to purchase a variable number of shares of common stock at $.01 per share based upon the Six Month Price.  The number of issuable shares was determined by the “Six Month Price” which is defined as the greater of $1.75 or the lowest average closing price of the Company’s common stock for any 15 consecutive day period during the six-month period immediately following the Closing Date.  The Initial Warrants vested and became fully exercisable on the issuance date. As of December 15, 2004, the Six Month Price was $1.98 per share, which resulted in the issuance of 456,853 Additional Warrants to the Series A Holders.  As of December 31, 2004 certain Series A Holders exercised their Additional Warrants resulting in the issuance of 279,188 shares of common stock.  Subsequent to year end, the remaining outstanding Additional Warrants were exercised resulting in the issuance of 177,665 shares of common stock.

 

Proceeds from the Preferred Series A Financing approximated $8.6 million, net of issuance costs of $0.4 million, and are being used for (i) working capital, (ii) the repayment of debt and (iii) to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet.  $2.2 million of the net proceeds were transferred on behalf of Artemis directly to Laurus to pay certain over-advances due at the Closing Date.  (See Note 6 for more information on the Laurus Facility).

 

With respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series A Holders maintain certain powers, preferences and rights that are senior to the holders of the Company’s common stock. The Series A Holders (i) are entitled to one vote per share on all matters upon which holders of common stock are entitled to vote, (ii) have certain voting consents, (iii) so long as at least twenty-five percent of Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, have the right to elect one member of the board of directors of the Company, and (iv) so long as at least thirty percent of the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company cannot redeem or declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on its common stock without the prior written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

The exercise prices and the number of shares underlying the warrants are subject to anti-dilution adjustments in connection with mergers, acquisitions, stock splits, dividends and the like.  The Series A Holders may pay the exercise price for the shares to be purchased upon exercise of the warrants by paying cash equal to the number of shares to be purchased times the appropriate exercise price per share, or, if the market price of our common stock exceeds the exercise price to be paid per share, the Series A Holders may, at their option, exchange the right to purchase all or part of the maximum shares underlying the warrants for that number of shares equal in value to the amount by which the closing price of a share of our common stock preceding the exercise date exceeds the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares to be purchased at that exercise price.

 

The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC on July 19, 2004 (which was amended in August and October 2004) to register the common stock, which may be issued as described above.  The SEC declared such registration statement effective on October 29, 2004.

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2004, Laurus converted $0.2 million of the outstanding $1.5 million Minimum Borrowing Note in exchange for 166,700 shares of the Company’s common stock (see Note 6).

 

During the year ended December 31, 2002 the Company recovered certain notes and accounts receivable, totaling approximately $0.6 million, which had been written off prior to the Company’s reverse merger transaction in 2001.  Since the recovered amounts were not  included in the net assets in conjunction with the original accounting for such merger, the recoveries were recorded as adjustments to the Company’s additional paid in capital.

 

Note 15. Stock Options and Warrants

 

Stock Options

 

The Company has granted options to purchase the Company’s restricted common stock under various plans to employees and directors.  All stock option plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which determines the

 

F-26



 

terms of the options granted, including the exercise price, the number of shares subject to option, and the vesting period.  Options generally vest over terms of three to five years and have a maximum life of ten years.

 

The stock option plans adopted by Opus360 prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange Transactions in 2001, and the related stock options continue in full force and effect.  Even though Legacy Artemis was the acquiror for accounting purposes in the Share Exchange Transactions, Opus360 as a legal entity survived the consummation of such transaction. Options granted under Opus 360 plans are redeemable in the common stock of Artemis. The following description of the Company’s stock option plans reflects the stock option plans of Opus 360 and Legacy Artemis prior to the merger, and the status of the following plans after July 31, 2001.

 

                  The 1998 Stock Option Plan (the “1998 Plan”) provided for the issuance of 240,000 options.  Options granted, exercised and cancelled under the plan are 243,090, 35,503 and 174,776, respectively, leaving approximately 170,492 options available under the plan and 32,811 outstanding as of December 31, 2004.  As options become available due to cancellation and forfeiture, they are added to the pool of options available for grant under the 2000 Stock Option Plan.

 

                  The 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”) provides for the granting of incentive and non-qualified stock options to employees, board members and advisors.  When the 2000 Plan was adopted in March of 2000, it provided for the issuance of 0.3 million options.  However, the 2000 Plan includes scheduled increases in options available for grant equal to 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock to a maximum of 1.2 million options.  On January 1, 2003 the 2000 Plan reached the maximum of 1.2 million options available for grant.  In addition, 0.2 million options granted under the 1998 Plan and subsequently cancelled are available for grant under the 2000 Plan.  Options granted, exercised and cancelled under the 2000 Plan are 2,206,080, 1,646 and 576,189 respectively, leaving 1,440,601 options available under the 2000 Plan, including the cancelled 1998 Plan options, and approximately 1,628,245 options outstanding as of December 31, 2004.  Effective November 30, 2004, the 2000 Plan was amended and restated. The amended and restated 2000 Plan provides for the issuance of 2,000,000 options, with automatic increases (on January 1 of each year) in options available for grant equal to 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, as of the preceding December 31 up to a maximum of 5,000,000 options.  Options granted under the 2000 Plan in 2004 include approximately 391,000 with vesting contingent upon the Company meeting certain annual financial performance goals.

 

                  The 2000 Non-Employee Directors’ Plan (the “Non-Employee Directors Plan”) provides for automatic, non-discretionary grants of up to 300,000 non-qualified stock options to non-employee board members.  Under the Non-Employee Directors Plan 144,900 and 41,440 options have been granted and cancelled, respectively, and 103,460 options remain outstanding at December 31, 2004.  Effective November 30, 2004, the Non-Employee Directors Plan was amended and restated. The amended and restated Non-Employee Directors Plan provides that each Non-Employee Director who is elected or appointed to the Board after February 24, 2004 shall receive an initial grant of options to purchase 15,000 shares of our Common Stock. For each Non-Employee Director serving on the Board as of February 24, 2004, he or she received a grant of options on February 24, 2004 to purchase 7,500 shares of our Common Stock, unless the Non-Employee Director was provided a special initial grant greater than 7,500 shares. Thereafter, commencing in 2005, each continuing Non-Employee Director shall receive a grant of options on his or her Board anniversary date to purchase up to 7,500 shares of Common Stock. With respect to directors serving on committees, each Non-Employee Director who, on or after February 24, 2004, is elected or appointed as, or was already, a member of the Audit, Compensation and/or the Nominating Committee, shall receive an additional grant of options to purchase 3,500 shares of our Common Stock for membership on each respective committee. Thereafter, each Non Employee Director who continues to serve on any such committee upon his or her applicable committee anniversary date shall be automatically granted an Option on such anniversary date to purchase up to 3,500 shares of Common Stock.

 

                  The Company assumed non-qualified stock options granted to certain key former employees of Opus360.  As of December 31, 2004, 46,983 of these stock options with an exercise price of $250 are outstanding and exercisable.  The options are exercisable until February 2010.

 

                  The Company also assumed non-qualified stock options granted to other employees of Opus360 who became Artemis employees after the Share Exchange Transactions.  At December 31, 2004, eighty eight of these options with a weighted average exercise price of $34.25 remained outstanding.

 

Warrants

 

There were 714,096 warrants to purchase Company common stock outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2004.  Other than the Additional Warrants (see below and Note 14), the per-share exercise prices of the remaining warrants range from $2.64 to $46.25 and they expire through 2013.

 

As of December 31, 2004, certain Series A Holders exercised their Additional Warrants resulting in the issuance of 279,188 shares of common stock.  Subsequent to year end the remaining outstanding Additional Warrants were exercised, resulting in the issuance of 177,665 Shares of common stock.

Note 18.  Restructuring Costs

 

In response to a decline in certain key operating metrics such as total revenue, operating margin and revenue per employee, the Company adopted a non-discretionary restructuring plan that resulted in a workforce reduction and other cost reductions (collectively, the “Restructuring”) intended to strengthen the Company’s competitive position and future operating performance. The Company has implemented the Restructuring during the year ended December 31, 2004.  The Company’s total charge related to this Restructuring was approximately $2.7 million as disclosed in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Restructuring Charge recognized during 2004 is comprised primarily of: (i) severance pay (including related payroll taxes) and associated one-time employee termination costs related to the reduction of the Company’s workforce; (ii) the closure and consolidation of offices; (iii) relocation costs resulting from organizational realignments; and (iv) professional fees incurred to improve the competitive position of the Company.  The Company accounts for the costs associated with exiting an activity, including costs associated with the reduction of the Company’s workforce, in accordance with SFAS 146.  The following table summarizes the Company’s Restructuring-related expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2004:

As part of the Restructuring, the Company has reduced its workforce by a total of seventy one employees, from 396 to 325 (which includes scheduled terminations and voluntary resignations) or approximately 18% of its workforce.  The Restructuring Charge has affected corporate positions and certain operational positions as follows:

(A) Restructuring costs for Japan/Asia have been reported in EMEA segment in Note 11 because such costs were incurred in the United Kingdom.  The above table reflects the functional impact of the Restructuring.

 

This follows a similar reduction (8% of the workforce) in the last quarter of 2003, whereby these reductions were based on discretionary restructuring actions.  Approximately $0.9 million of the total restructuring charge is included in accured liabilities in the accompanying December 31, 2004 consolidated balance sheets.

 

GAAP prohibits the recognition of an exit-activity liability until (a) certain criteria (which demonstrate that it is reasonably probable that a present obligation to others has been created) are met, and (b) the fair value of such liability can be reasonably estimated.  The costs associated with pre-2004 workforce reductions and related activities that did not meet the definition of a “liability” (in the opinion of management) were recorded and expensed in their natural classifications as incurred; as a result, these expenses were not reported separately as exit-activity or restructuring charges in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

 

Note 19.  Comprehensive Loss

 

Comprehensive loss consists of net income or loss, adjusted for other increases or decreases affecting stockholders’ deficit that are excluded in the determination of net income or loss.  In July 2004, the Company restated its comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2003.  The restatement was made to correct the foreign currency translation adjustment related to the Company’s investment in Changepoint France.  Such adjustment did not affect the Company’s previously reported net loss for 2003.  The calculation of the restated comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 is as follows:
