The Company uses these words to describe its present belief about future events relating to, among other things, its expected marketing plans, future hiring, expenditures and sources of revenue. This Form 10-Q may also contain third party estimates regarding the size and growth of our market, which also are forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements apply only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks described above and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to interim financial reporting pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. It is recommended that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes of I-many, Inc. (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2007 as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of these interim financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008, or for any other period.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition:

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” and SOP 98-9, “Software Revenue Recognition, with Respect to Certain Arrangements.” Software license fees are recognized upon execution of a signed license agreement and delivery of the software to customers, provided there are no significant post-delivery obligations, the payment is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. In multiple-element arrangements, a portion of the total fee is allocated to the undelivered professional services, training and maintenance and support services based on the fair value of those elements, which is defined as the price charged when those elements are sold separately. The residual amount is then allocated to the software license fee. In cases where the Company agrees to deliver unspecified additional products in the future, the license fee is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement beginning with the delivery of the first product. In cases where the Company agrees to deliver specified additional products or upgrades in the future, recognition of the entire license fee, including any related maintenance and support fees, is deferred until after the specified additional products or upgrades are delivered and made generally available to all customers. If an acceptance period is required, revenues are deferred until customer acceptance. In cases where collection is not deemed probable, we recognize the license fee as payments are received. In cases where significant production or customization is required prior to attaining technological feasibility of the software, license fees are recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis and are credited to research and development expenses as a funded development arrangement. After the software attains technological feasibility, recognizable license fees are reported as product revenue.

In 2007, the Company began to classify its reported net revenues into three revenue categories – Recurring, Services and License – after having previously reported revenues as either Product or Service. Recurring revenue consists of (i) fees generated from providing maintenance, support, and hosting services and (ii) subscription revenues. Services revenue is comprised of professional service and training fees and reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses. License revenue consists of non-recurring license fees generated from perpetual license agreements.

Table of Contents

Current and prospective customers have the option of entering into a subscription agreement as an alternative to the Company’s standard perpetual license contract model. The standard subscription arrangement is presently a fixed fee agreement over three or more years, covering license fees, unspecified new product releases and maintenance and support, generally payable in equal quarterly or annual installments commencing upon execution of the agreement. Prior to 2006, more than half of the executed subscription arrangements included a provision allowing the agreement to convert free-of-charge to a perpetual license after the completion of the initial term plus any extensions, generally after five years, after which time the customer would have the option of paying for the continuation of maintenance and support. Beginning in 2006, the Company has generally discontinued including free-of-charge perpetual conversion provisions in new subscription arrangements. Also included in subscription revenues are license fees generated from perpetual license arrangements with rights to unspecified additional products, which are treated as subscription arrangements for accounting purposes. For subscription arrangements which include rights to specified products which are not yet generally available to customers, revenue recognition is deferred until all elements of the arrangement including any such specified products have been delivered. For all other subscription arrangements, the Company recognizes all revenue ratably over the term of the subscription agreement commencing upon delivery of the initial product. Subscription installment amounts that are not yet contractually billable to customers are not reflected in deferred revenues on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Maintenance and support fees are recognized ratably over the term of the service period, which is generally twelve months. When maintenance and support is included in the total license fee, a portion of the total fee is allocated to maintenance and support based upon the price paid by the customer when sold separately, generally as renewals in the second year.

Professional service revenues are recognized as the services are performed. If conditions for acceptance exist, professional service revenues are recognized upon customer acceptance. For fixed fee professional service contracts, anticipated losses are provided for in the period in which the loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Training revenues are recognized as the services are provided. Included in training revenues are registration fees received from participants in the Company’s annual off-site user training conferences.

Payments received from customers at the inception of a maintenance period are treated as deferred service revenues and recognized ratably over the maintenance period. Payments received from customers in advance of product shipment or revenue recognition are treated as deferred revenues and recognized when the product is shipped to the customer or when otherwise earned.

During the third quarter of 2005, the Company became aware of certain defects in the current version of one of its software products, which was first shipped to customers in the fourth quarter of 2004. These defects, which were not identified in pre-release product testing, affected the performance of the software for a portion of the Company’s customers depending on each customer’s particular implementation environment and its intended use of the software. Because certain concessions have been made to customers in connection with these defects, the Company had generally not recognized revenue from sales of this software product and related implementation services beginning in the third quarter of 2005, except in those cases in which it was determined that the customer was not likely to be affected by the known, unresolved software defects. During 2006, new versions of the software were released, but problems continued to occur with implementations at several customer sites. In 2007, the Company released new versions of the software which were designed to resolve known performance defects with minimal additional functionality. Also during 2007, the Company successfully completed implementations of the newest version of this software at multiple customer sites and made progress with other customer implementations, and accordingly has begun recognizing revenue from this software on a limited basis. However, the Company is continuing to defer all recurring, services and license revenue in connection with (i) implementations of this software program that are not yet complete, and (ii) any customers for which a concession is probable and an agreement formalizing a concession amount has not been executed. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company has reversed and deferred $671,000 of otherwise-recognizable product and service revenue, based in part on its estimate of the fair value of concessions to be made until the remaining defects are resolved, and partly on its determination that license fees were not fixed and determinable because of the possibility of future concessions.

Stock-based Compensation:

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004) (“FAS 123(R)”), “Share-based Payment.” Under FAS 123(R), the Company measures and records the compensation cost of employee and director services received in exchange for stock option grants and other equity awards based on the grant-date fair value of the awards. The values of the portions of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest are recognized as expense over the requisite service periods. The Company accounts for stock options and awards granted to non-employees other than directors using the fair-value method.

Under the fair-value method, compensation associated with equity awards is determined based on the estimated fair value of the award itself, measured using either current market data or an established option pricing model. The measurement date for employee and director awards is generally the date of grant. The measurement date for awards granted to non-employees other than directors is generally the date that performance of certain services is complete.

The Company’s estimates of the fair value of stock option grants were made using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions and resulted in the following weighted average grant-date fair values of options granted during the six months ended June 30:

 

     2008     2007  

Risk-free interest rates

     2.15-3.40 %     4.50-5.10 %

Dividend yield

     —         —    

Expected volatility

     55-65 %     55-60 %

Expected term (in years)

     3.75-6.00       5.29-7.50  

Weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted during the period

   $ 1.10     $ 1.14  

The risk-free interest rate is derived quarterly from the published US Treasury yield curve, based on expected term, in effect as of the last several days of the quarter. The Company uses historical volatility of the Company’s common stock to estimate expected volatility. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the expected term of options granted was estimated to be equal to the average of the contractual life of the options and the grant’s average vesting period. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the expected term of options was derived from Company historical data, including, among other things, option exercises, forfeitures and cancellations.

The following table summarizes the components of stock-based compensation expense for the three month and six month periods ended June 30:

As of June 30, 2008, unamortized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to nonvested stock options and nonvested restricted shares granted under the various stock incentive plans, amounted to $3.0 million and $317,000, respectively. These costs are expected to be amortized over weighted average periods of 1.9 years and 0.8 years, respectively.

Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. Stock options terminate 10 years after grant and vest over periods set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at the time of grant. These vesting periods have generally been for four years, on a ratable basis. Certain stock option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control. Beginning in 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has also granted stock options to senior executives of the Company that vest on the earlier of four or five years after grant or the date that specified operational milestones or stock prices for the Company’s common stock are attained. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized $141,000 and $60,000, respectively, of accelerated stock-based compensation expense in connection with the attainment of such milestones.

The Company has two current stock incentive plans: (i) the 2001 Employee Stock Option Plan, which provides for grants in the form of non-qualified stock options, with not more than 25,000 shares to be issued in the aggregate to officers or directors of the Company, and (ii) the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan, which is shareholder-approved and provides for the grant of incentive stock options and other equity awards to the Company’s employees, directors and consultants. The company also has an employee stock purchase plan that allows employees to purchase stock at a 15% discount to market prices subject to certain limitations. Participation is optional and enrollment periods are every six months.

The following table summarizes total common shares available for future grants of stock options and other equity awards at June 30, 2008:

 

2001 Employee Stock Option Plan

   643,446

2008 Stock Incentive Plan

Acquired Intangible Assets and Goodwill:

Acquired intangible assets (excluding goodwill) are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or on an interim basis if an event or circumstance occurs between annual tests indicating that the assets might be impaired. The impairment test consists of comparing the cash flows expected to be generated by the acquired intangible asset to its carrying amount. If the asset is considered to be impaired, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Acquired intangible assets with indefinite useful lives will not be amortized until their lives are determined to be definite.

Goodwill is tested for impairment using a two-step approach. The first step is to compare the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired and the second step is not required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the second step of the impairment test measures the amount of the impairment loss, if any, by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is calculated in the same manner that goodwill is calculated in a business combination, whereby the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets), with the excess “purchase price” over the amounts assigned to assets and liabilities representing the implied fair value of goodwill. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually, or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would likely reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.

Income Taxes:

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”) regarding “Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes,” which defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax-return positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authorities. FIN 48 also requires explicit disclosure requirements about a Company’s uncertainties related to their income tax position, including a detailed roll-forward of tax benefits taken that do not qualify for financial statement recognition. The Company adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007 and its adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Table of Contents

The Company and its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state jurisdictions. To date, the Internal Revenue Service and most of the relevant state taxing authorities have not conducted examinations of any of the Company’s U.S. and state income tax returns since the Company’s inception. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary based in the United Kingdom is subject to income taxes imposed by the United Kingdom.

The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. To date, such interest and penalty charges have not been material.

A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for temporary differences in the bases of assets and liabilities for book and tax purposes and loss carry forwards based on enacted rates expected to be in effect when these temporary items are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided to the extent it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Research and Development Costs:

The Company incurred research and development expenses of $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, which included amounts assigned to acquired in-process technology for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008 of $760,000 and $800,000, respectively. The values assigned to acquired in-process technology were determined by identifying those acquired specific in-process research and development projects that would be continued and for which (a) technological feasibility had not been established at the acquisition date, (b) there was no alternative future use, and (c) the fair value was estimable with reasonable reliability.

Product Indemnification:

The Company’s agreements with customers generally include certain provisions for indemnifying the customer against losses, expenses, and liabilities from damages that may be awarded against the customer in the event that the Company’s products are found to infringe upon a patent, copyright, trademark, or other proprietary right of a third party. The agreements generally seek to limit the scope of remedies for such indemnification obligations in a variety of industry-standard respects, including the right to replace an infringing product. To date, the Company has not had to reimburse any of its customers for any losses related to these indemnification provisions and no claims were outstanding as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. The Company does not expect that any significant impact on financial position or the results of operations will result from these indemnification provisions.

New Accounting Pronouncements:

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under a number of other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. Relative to SFAS No. 157, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) 157-2 which defers the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 157 for its financial assets and liabilities beginning January 1, 2008 and its adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”), including an amendment to SFAS No. 115. SFAS 159 provides entities with the irrevocable option to measure eligible financial assets, financial liabilities and firm commitments at fair value, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, that are otherwise not permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other accounting standards. The election, called the fair value option, will enable entities to achieve an offset accounting

effect for changes in fair value of certain related assets and liabilities without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 159 beginning January 1, 2008 and its adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) (“SFAS 141(R)), “Business Combinations,” which replaces SFAS No. 141. SFAS 141(R) applies to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses, regardless of whether consideration is involved. Under SFAS 141(R), an acquirer will recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. Among its other provisions, SFAS 141(R) mandates that (i) acquisition-related costs, including any post-acquisition restructuring costs that the acquirer expected but was not obligated to incur, generally be expensed when incurred, (ii) contingent consideration be recognized and recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, with subsequent changes in fair value to be recognized in the income statement or as equity adjustments, and (iii) in-process research and development be capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until project completion, after which time its value would be amortized over the related product’s estimated useful life or expensed if there is no alternative future use. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be measured at fair value and reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. Also, this Statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, in which any remaining noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary is measured at its fair value. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of SFAS 160.

NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS

ClaimRight Business of Global HealthCare Exchange:

On February 20, 2008, the Company completed its purchase of the assets related to the ClaimRight data validation software business (“ClaimRight”) from Global Healthcare Exchange LLC and Global HealthCare Exchange, Inc. for up to $2.2 million in cash, including up to $600,000 which is being held back pending the achievement of certain defined performance milestones during the first 12 months after the closing. The initial purchase consideration of $1.8 million consisted of $1.4 million in cash, assumed liabilities of $206,000, and transaction costs of $166,000. In accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, the Company does not accrue contingent consideration obligations prior to the attainment of the related objectives. Any such payments would result in increases in goodwill.

The ClaimRight business was located in Ambler, Pennsylvania and marketed software to pharmaceutical providers for the processing and validating of pharmaceutical claim submissions. This purchase provides the Company with an established customer base and technology that enhances its product offering to its pharmaceutical manufacturing clients.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (amounts in thousands):

Table of Contents

The $300,000 of acquired intangible assets represents the fair value of the ClaimRight in-force customer relationships, which is being amortized over a four-year life. The entire value of acquired intangible assets, in-process research and development, and goodwill was assigned to the health and life sciences segment.

The portion of the purchase price allocated to in-process research and development, totaling $760,000, was expensed upon consummation of the ClaimRight acquisition. This allocation was attributable to one in-process research and development project, which consisted of the development of significant new features and functionality to an existing software product. The ClaimRight business had achieved significant technological milestones on the project as of the acquisition date, but the project had not reached technological feasibility. The estimated fair value of the acquired in-process research and development for this project was determined using the cost approach, due to the unavailability of reasonable estimates of future material cash flows in connection with this project. The Company was able to estimate the cost involved in recreating the technology using historical data, including cost and effort applied to the development of the technology prior to the acquisition date. Significant appraisal assumptions included historical data related to personnel effort, costs associated with those efforts, and any related external costs.

At the time of the acquisition, the in-process Claimright development project was approximately 80% to 90% complete. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company discontinued work on this project prior to its completion and reassigned personnel to incorporate much of the functionality of this project into one of the Company’s competing software programs.

Edge Dynamics, Inc.:

On May 5, 2008, the Company completed its acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of Edge Dynamics, Inc. (“Edge Dynamics”), a privately-held developer of channel- and demand-management software based in Redwood City, California, for a purchase price of $500,000 plus the repayment and assumption of other obligations. The total merger consideration of approximately $5.2 million consisted of $500,000 in cash paid to the shareholders of Edge Dynamics, $1.7 million in cash paid to extinguish Edge Dynamics’ outstanding bank debt, the assumption of Edge Dynamics’ liabilities of $2.9 million, and transaction costs of approximately $345,000, less Edge Dynamics’ cash balance of $231,000.

Edge Dynamics developed and marketed channel- and demand-management software to companies in the pharmaceutical industry. This purchase provides the Company with an established customer base and technology that the Company believes will enhance its product offering to its pharmaceutical manufacturing clients.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (amounts in thousands):

The $2.3 million of acquired intangible assets represents the fair values of the Edge Dynamics technology ($1.5 million) and in-force customer relationships ($800,000), which are each being amortized over a four-year life. The entire value of acquired intangible assets, in-process research and development, and goodwill was assigned to the health and life sciences segment.

The portion of the purchase price allocated to in-process research and development, totaling $800,000, was expensed upon consummation of the Edge Dynamics acquisition. This allocation was attributable to one in-process research and development project, which consisted of the development of significant new features and functionality to an existing software product. Edge Dynamics had achieved significant technological milestones on the project as of the acquisition date, but the project had not reached technological feasibility. The value of the purchased in-process research and development was computed using a discount rate of 30% on the projected incremental revenue stream of the product enhancements, net of anticipated costs and expenses. The 30% discount rate was derived based on the Company’s estimated weighted average cost of capital as adjusted to reflect the additional risk inherent in product development and the stage of development. The discounted cash flows were based on management’s forecast of future revenue, costs of revenue and operating expenses related to the products and technologies acquired from Edge Dynamics. The determined value was then adjusted to reflect only the value creation efforts of Edge Dynamics prior to the close of the acquisition. At the time of the acquisition, the project was approximately 75% complete. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had invested approximately $215,000 in the project following acquisition. The project’s development has progressed, in all material respects, consistently with the assumptions that the Company had used for estimating its fair value and is projected to be completed in September 2008.

NOTE 4. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

On December 31, 2007, the Company completed a private placement of $17.0 million of senior convertible notes (“Notes”). The Notes bear interest at 6.5% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, and will mature on December 31, 2012. The Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $3.8192 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of a merger or other change in control of the Company. Also, the Notes can be redeemed at par by the investors on December 31, 2010, or redeemed at par by the Company any time beginning on December 31, 2010. Net proceeds to the Company were approximately $15.8 million, after deducting commissions and other fees. The $1.2 million in debt issuance costs is being amortized into interest expense using the effective interest method over the three-year period leading up to the date at which the Notes are first redeemable by the investors. In connection with the Notes, the Company incurred interest expense of $367,000 and $731,000, respectively, during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, such amounts including debt issuance cost amortization of $91,000 and $179,000, respectively.

The Notes were issued in reliance upon exemptions from the registration provisions of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended, and Regulation D thereunder. The shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the registration became effective as of February 27, 2008.

Until all of the Notes have been converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in accordance with their terms, the Company is prohibited from redeeming or repurchasing any of its capital stock (except in connection with forfeitures of unvested restricted stock), or declaring or paying any cash dividend without the prior express written consent of the holders of Notes representing at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

NOTE 5. NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic net loss per share was determined by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share was the same as basic net loss per share for all periods presented since the effect of any potentially dilutive securities was excluded, as they are anti-dilutive as a result of the Company’s net losses. The total numbers of common equivalent shares excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation were 905,694 and 1,562,193 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 1,660,357 and 1,468,190 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

NOTE 6. SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

The Company had certain customers which individually generated revenues comprising a significant percentage of total revenue, as follows:

NOTE 7. SEGMENT DISCLOSURE

The Company measures operating results as two reportable segments, each of which provide multiple products and services that allow manufacturers, purchasers and intermediaries to manage their complex contracts for the purchase and sale of goods. These segments are consistent with how management establishes strategic goals, allocates resources and evaluates performance. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that market to separate and distinct industry groups: (i) health and life sciences, which includes pharmaceutical manufacturers, and (ii) industry solutions, which comprises all other industries. The following tables reflect the results of the segments consistent with the Company’s management system.

For segment reporting purposes, unallocated amounts consist of goodwill with respect to the 2002 acquisition of Menerva Technologies, Inc. Interest revenue, interest expense, other significant non-cash items, income tax expense or benefit, and unusual items that are attributable to the segments do not have a significant effect on the financial results of the segments. In performing the annual goodwill impairment test, all goodwill is assigned to the reportable segments.

NOTE 8. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES

In 2003 and 2004, the Company took several actions to reduce its operating expenses in order to better align its cost structure with projected revenues and to streamline its operations in advance of a planned (and subsequently terminated) sale of its health and life sciences operation. These actions included the closing of its office in Chicago, Illinois and the partial closing of its facility in London, England. With respect to the Chicago and London office closings, the Company had determined the fair value of the remaining liabilities of the unused space (net of estimated sublease rentals) for each lease as of the respective cease-use dates.

In the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company realized charges of $25,000 and $81,000, respectively, in connection with the amortization of its long-term lease restructuring accruals for its Chicago and London facilities.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements due to various factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A, and elsewhere, in this report.

OVERVIEW

We provide software and related services that allow our clients to more effectively manage their contract-based, business-to-business relationships through the entirety of the contract management lifecycle. We operate our business in two segments: health and life sciences and industry solutions. The health and life sciences line of business markets and sells our products and services to companies in the life sciences industries, including pharmaceutical and medical product companies, wholesale distributors and managed care organizations. The industry solutions line of business targets all other industries.

Our primary products and services were originally developed to manage complex contract purchasing relationships in the healthcare industry. Our software is currently licensed by 19 of the 20 largest world-wide pharmaceutical manufacturers, ranked according to 2007 annual pharmaceutical company revenues. As the depth and breadth of our product suites have expanded, we have added companies in the industry solutions markets to our customer base.

We have generated revenues from both products and services. Recurring revenue, which consists of maintenance, support and hosting fees directly related to our licensed software products and product subscription revenues, accounted for 58.4% of net revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2008 versus 50.0% of net revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2007. Services revenue, which is comprised of professional service fees derived from consulting, installation, business analysis and training services related to our software, accounted for 27.8% of net revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2008 versus 33.5% of net revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2007. License revenue, which consists of non-recurring license fees generated from perpetual license agreements, accounted for 13.8% of net revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2008 versus 16.5% of net revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2007.

We implemented a number of employee headcount reductions and office downsizings during the period June 2001 through March 2004, after which our aggregate quarterly spending on cost of products and services, sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses (excluding acquisition-related charges and noncash stock compensation) remained fairly steady – ranging from $9.2 million to $10.4 million – through the first quarter of 2006. In early 2006, we began to increase our spending, primarily on research and development and professional services, in order to (i) accelerate development of future releases of our product offerings in the health and life sciences segment, (ii) work on resolving defects in one of our software products, as explained in further detail in “Critical Accounting Policies – Revenue Recognition” in this Item 2, and (iii) augment staff levels at a number of professional services engagements, primarily in connection with implementations of the software product with performance defects at customer sites. This spending reached its peak at $12.5 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, subsequently falling to $11.4 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2007. Meanwhile, our revenues had been increasing for five consecutive quarters through the three-month period ended December 31, 2007, resulting in our lowest quarterly operating loss that quarter since the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 and our second lowest quarterly operating loss since our initial public offering in July 2000.

In the first six months of 2008, our sales have decreased as a result of market and economic factors, affecting our customers and target customers in life science industries, and consolidation in the pharmaceutical industry. Meanwhile, our expenses have increased as a direct result of our acquisitions of the ClaimRight business and Edge Dynamics. In response to this deterioration in our sales results and our increased operating losses, we reduced our headcount by a total of 28 employees during the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, incurring $346,000 in estimated severance costs, and have cut back on projected future hiring plans. The above notwithstanding, our total employee headcount has increased from 199 at December 31, 2007 to 220 at June 30, 2008, with essentially all of this growth comprised of additional staffing of our new development center in India and new employees hired in connection with the Edge Dynamics and ClaimRight acquisitions.

On November 6, 2006, we completed a private placement of our securities, issuing 3,535,566 shares of our common stock and common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to an additional 1,060,663 shares of common stock. The per unit price of the private placement offering was $1.98, with each unit comprised of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase three-tenths of a share of common stock. The warrants are exercisable at $2.11 per share until November 2011. Net proceeds to the Company were approximately $6.5 million, after deducting commissions and other fees.

On December 31, 2007, we completed a private placement of $17.0 million of senior convertible notes, which bear interest at 6.5% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, and will mature on December 31, 2012. The notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $3.8192 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of a merger or other change in control of the Company. Also, the notes can be redeemed at par by the investors on December 31, 2010, or redeemed at par by us at any time beginning on December 31, 2010. Net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the notes were approximately $15.8 million, after deducting commissions and other fees.

On February 20, 2008, we completed our purchase of the assets related to the ClaimRight data validation software business from Global Healthcare Exchange LLC and Global HealthCare Exchange, Inc. for up to $2.2 million in cash, including up to $600,000 which is being held back pending the achievement of certain defined performance milestones during the first 12 months after the closing. The initial purchase consideration of $1.8 million consisted of $1.4 million in cash, assumed liabilities of $206,000, and transaction costs of $166,000. The ClaimRight business was located in Ambler, Pennsylvania and marketed software to pharmaceutical providers for the processing and validating of pharmaceutical claim submissions. This purchase provided us with an established customer base and technology that will enhance our product offering to our pharmaceutical manufacturing clients.

On May 5, 2008, we completed our acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of Edge Dynamics, a privately-held developer of channel- and demand-management software based in Redwood City, California, for a purchase price of $500,000 plus the repayment and assumption of other obligations. The total merger consideration of approximately $5.2 million consisted of $500,000 in cash paid to the shareholders of Edge Dynamics, $1.7 million in cash paid to extinguish Edge Dynamics’ outstanding bank debt, the assumption of Edge Dynamics’ liabilities of approximately $2.9 million, and transaction costs of approximately $345,000, less Edge Dynamics’ cash balance of $231,000. The Edge Dynamics acquisition provided products and technology that we believe will enhance our product offerings to our customers in the health and life sciences segment.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

We generate revenues from licensing our software and providing professional services, training and maintenance and support services. Software license revenues are attributable to the addition of new customers and the expansion or renewal of existing customer relationships through licenses covering additional users, licenses of additional software products and license renewals.

We recognize software license fees upon execution of a signed license agreement and delivery of the software to customers, provided there are no significant post-delivery obligations, the payment is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. In multiple-element arrangements, we allocate a portion of the total fee to professional services, training and maintenance and support services based on the fair value of those elements, which is defined as the price charged when those elements are sold separately. The residual amount is then allocated to the software license fee. In cases where we agree to deliver unspecified additional products in the future, the license fee is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement beginning with the delivery of the first product. In cases where we agree to deliver specified additional products or upgrades in the future, recognition of the entire license fee, including any related maintenance and support fees, is deferred until after the specified additional products or upgrades are delivered and made generally available to all customers. If an acceptance period is required, revenues are deferred until customer acceptance. In cases where collection is not deemed probable, we recognize the license fee as payments are received. In cases where significant production or customization is required prior to attaining technological feasibility of the software, license fees are recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis and are credited to research and development expenses as a funded development arrangement. After the software attains technological feasibility, recognizable license fees are reported as product revenue.

In 2007, we began to classify our reported net revenues into three revenue categories – Recurring, Services and License revenues – after having previously reported our revenues as being either Product or Service. Recurring revenue consists of (i) fees generated from the provision of maintenance, support, and hosting services and (ii) subscription revenues. Services revenue is now comprised of professional service and training fees and reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses. License revenue consists of non-recurring license fees generated from perpetual license agreements.

We offer current and prospective customers the option to enter into a subscription agreement as an alternative to our standard perpetual license contract model. We believe our subscription offering has expanded the market to customers that find regular subscription payments an easier and more flexible implementation of our software, and subscription arrangements have the potential to provide us with smoother and more predictable revenue growth. The standard subscription arrangement is presently a fixed fee agreement over three to five years, covering license fees, unspecified new product releases and maintenance and support, generally payable in equal quarterly or annual installments commencing upon execution of the agreement. Prior to 2006, more than half of the executed subscription arrangements included a provision allowing the agreement to convert free-of-charge to a perpetual license after the completion of the initial term plus any extensions, generally after five years, after which time the customer would have the option of paying for the continuation of maintenance and support. Beginning in 2006, we have generally discontinued including free-of-charge perpetual conversion provisions in new subscription arrangements. Also included in subscription revenues are license fees generated from perpetual license arrangements with rights to unspecified additional products, which are treated as subscription arrangements for accounting purposes. For subscription arrangements which include rights to specified products which are not yet generally available to customers, revenue recognition is deferred until all elements of the arrangement including any such specified products have been delivered. For all other subscription arrangements, we recognize all

revenue ratably over the term of the subscription agreement commencing upon delivery of the initial product. Subscription installment amounts that are not yet contractually billable to customers are not reflected in deferred revenues on our consolidated balance sheet.

Maintenance and customer support fees are recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract, which is generally twelve months. When maintenance and support is included in the total license fee, we allocate a portion of the total fee to maintenance and support based upon the price paid by the customer when sold separately, generally as renewals in the second year.

Professional service revenues are recognized as the services are performed. If conditions for acceptance exist, professional service revenues are recognized upon customer acceptance. For fixed fee professional service contracts, we provide for anticipated losses in the period in which the loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Training revenues are recognized as the services are provided. Included in training revenues are registration fees received from participants in our annual off-site user training conferences.

Payments received from customers at the inception of a maintenance period are treated as deferred service revenues and recognized ratably over the maintenance period. Payments received from customers in advance of product shipment or revenue recognition are treated as deferred product revenues and recognized when the product is shipped to the customer or when otherwise earned.

Subscription arrangements, including a small number of perpetual license arrangements with rights to unspecified additional products that are treated as subscriptions for accounting purposes, represent a significant proportion of our new licenses. In 2007, 18 of the 35 license contracts (minimum value of $50,000) that were sold were treated as subscription arrangements for accounting purposes. And in the six months ended June 30, 2008, four of the nine license deals (minimum value of $50,000) that were sold are likewise being accounted for as subscriptions. During the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we recognized $2.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in recurring revenue related to such agreements. For the remainder of 2008, we anticipate that subscription arrangements will continue to represent a significant proportion of new license sales.

During the third quarter of 2005, we became aware of certain defects in the then-current version of one of our software products, which was first shipped to customers in the fourth quarter of 2004. These defects, which were not identified in pre-release product testing, affected the performance of the software for a portion of our customers depending on each customer’s particular implementation environment and its intended use of the software. Because certain concessions had been made to customers in connection with these defects, we have generally not recognized revenue from sales of this software product and related implementation services since the beginning of the third quarter of 2005, except in those cases in which it was determined that the customer was not likely to be affected by the known, unresolved software defects. During 2006, new versions of the software were released, but we continued to experience problems with implementations at several customer sites. In 2007, we released new versions of the software which were designed to resolve known performance defects with minimal additional functionality. During the quarters ended June 30 and September 30, 2007, we successfully completed implementations of the newest version of this software at multiple customer sites and made progress with other customer implementations, and accordingly have begun recognizing revenue from this software on a limited basis. However, we are continuing to defer all recurring, services and license revenue in connection with (i) implementations of this software program that are not yet complete, and (ii) any customers for which a concession is probable and an agreement formalizing a concession amount has not been executed. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we have reversed and deferred $671,000 of otherwise-recognizable product and service revenue, based in part on our estimate of the fair value of concessions to be made until the remaining defects are resolved, and partly on our determination that license fees were not fixed and determinable because of the possibility of future concessions.

Stock-based Compensation:

On January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004) (“FAS 123(R)”), “Share-based Payment.” Under FAS 123(R), we measure and record the compensation cost of employee and director services received in exchange for stock option grants and other equity awards based on the grant-date fair value of the awards. The values of the portions of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest are recognized as expense over the requisite service periods. We account for stock options and awards granted to non-employees other than directors using the fair-value method.

Under the fair-value method, compensation associated with equity awards is determined based on the estimated fair value of the award itself, measured using either current market data or an established option pricing model. The measurement date for employee and director awards is generally the date of grant. The measurement date for awards granted to non-employees other than directors is generally the date that performance of certain services is complete.

Our estimates of the fair value of stock option grants were made using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions and resulted in the following weighted average grant-date fair values of options granted during the six months ended June 30:

 

     2008     2007  

Risk-free interest rates

     2.15-3.40 %     4.50-5.10 %

Dividend yield

     —         —    

Expected volatility

     55-65 %     55-60 %

Expected term (in years)

     3.75-6.00       5.29-7.50  

Weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted during the period

   $ 1.10     $ 1.14  

The risk-free interest rate is derived quarterly from the published US Treasury yield curve, based on expected term, in effect as of the last several days of the quarter. We use historical volatility of the Company’s common stock to estimate expected volatility. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the expected term of options granted was estimated to be equal to the average of the contractual life of the options and the grant’s average vesting period. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the expected term of options was derived from Company historical data, including, among other things, option exercises, forfeitures and cancellations.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We record provisions for doubtful accounts based on a detailed assessment of our accounts receivable and related credit risks. In estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts, management considers the age of the accounts receivables, our historical write-off experience, the credit worthiness of customers and the economic conditions of the customers’ industries and general economic conditions, among other factors. Should any of these factors change, the estimates made by management will also change, which could affect the level of our future provision for doubtful accounts. If the assumptions we used to calculate these estimates do not properly reflect future collections, there could be an impact on future reported results of operations. The provisions for doubtful accounts are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Acquired Intangible Assets

Acquired intangible assets (excluding goodwill) are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or on an interim basis if an event or circumstance occurs between annual tests indicating that the assets might be

 

23


Table of Contents

impaired. The impairment test will consist of comparing the cash flows expected to be generated by the acquired intangible asset to its carrying amount. If the asset is considered to be impaired, an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

Goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reportable segment level using a two-step approach. The first step is to compare the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired and the second step is not required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the second step of the impairment test measures the amount of the impairment loss, if any, by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is calculated in the same manner that goodwill is calculated in a business combination, whereby the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets), with the excess “purchase price” over the amounts assigned to assets and liabilities representing the implied fair value of goodwill. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually, or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would likely reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. If the assumptions we used to estimate fair value of goodwill change, there could be an impact on future reported results of operations.

Deferred Tax Assets

A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for temporary differences in the bases of assets and liabilities for book and tax purposes and loss carry forwards based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when these temporary items are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided to the extent it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Product Indemnification

Our agreements with customers generally include certain provisions obligating us to indemnify the customer against losses, expenses, and liabilities from damages that may be awarded against the customer in the event that our products are found to infringe upon a patent, copyright, trademark, or other proprietary right of a third party. The agreements generally seek to limit the scope of remedies for such indemnification obligations in a variety of industry-standard respects, including our right to replace an infringing product. To date, we have not had to reimburse any of our customers for any losses related to these indemnification provisions and no claims were outstanding as of June 30, 2008. We do not expect that any significant impact on financial position or the results of operations will result from these indemnification provisions.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. Based on our product development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. Costs incurred by the Company between completion of the working model and the point at which the product is ready for general release have not been material. As such, all software development costs incurred to date have been expensed as incurred.

We incurred research and development expenses of $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, which included amounts assigned to acquired in-process technology for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008 of $760,000 and $800,000, respectively. The values assigned to acquired in-process technology were determined by identifying those acquired specific in-process research and development projects that would be continued and for which (a) technological feasibility had not been established at the acquisition date, (b) there was no alternative future use, and (c) the fair value was estimable with reasonable reliability.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007

NET REVENUES

Net revenues increased by $138,000, or 1.4%, to $10.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 from $10.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Recurring revenue increased by $560,000, or 11.8%, to $5.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 from $4.8 million in the same period a year earlier, primarily attributable to a $369,000, or 34.2%, increase in subscription revenue. As indicated above in this Item 2, subscription arrangements have represented a substantial proportion of license contracts since their introduction in 2004 and our recognized subscription revenues have been increasing during this period. Service revenue decreased by $538,000, or 17.0%, to $2.6 million versus $3.2 million in the year earlier period as demand for implementation services decreased in our industry solutions operating segment, which we believe is a result of the decrease in new license contracts sold in the prior quarter as compared to the same period in 2007.

In the quarter ended June 30, 2008, license revenue increased by $117,000, or 5.5%, when compared to the year earlier period. However, as indicated in the table below, the gross value of license contracts sold during the second quarter of 2008 decreased by $3.3 million, or 64.4%, to $1.9 million versus $5.2 million sold during the second quarter of 2007, due to large decreases in both the number of license transactions (minimum value of $50,000), from 8 to 5, and in the average selling price, from $449,000 to $224,000. Although we believe that much of this decrease can be attributed to unexpected delays in realizing purchasing commitments by current and prospective customers, we believe other factors such as general economic conditions affecting the life science industries and competitive pressures have likely contributed to this decrease. See Risk Factors in Part II, Item 1A of this filing.

The above financial information is provided as additional information and is not in accordance with or an alternative to generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. We believe its inclusion can enhance an overall understanding of our past operational performance and

also our prospects for the future. This reconciliation of license revenues is made with the intent of providing a more complete understanding of our sales performance, as opposed to GAAP revenue results, which do not include the impact of newly-executed subscription agreements and other deferred license arrangements that are material to the ongoing performance of our business. This information quantifies the various components comprising current license revenue, which in each period consists of the total value of licenses sold in current periods, plus license revenue recorded in the current period from contracts sold in prior periods, less the value of license contracts sold in the current period that is not yet recognizable. Included in the gross value of license contracts sold amounts are license and non-cancelable subscription fee obligations that are not currently recognizable as product revenue upon execution of the license agreement because all the requirements for revenue recognition (see “Critical Accounting Policies – Revenue Recognition” in this Item 2) are not present, such as the presence of extended payment terms, future software deliverables, or customer acceptance provisions. The gross value of license contracts sold also includes amounts that are not yet contractually billable to customers, and any such unbilled amounts are not reflected in deferred revenues on our consolidated balance sheet. Management uses this information as a basis for planning and forecasting core business activity in future periods and believes it is useful in understanding our results of operations. Also, payouts under our sales compensation and executive bonus plans are based in large part on the gross values of license contracts sold in each period. The presentation of this additional revenue information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenues reported in accordance with GAAP in the United States. There can be no assurance that the full value of licenses sold and deferred to future reporting periods will ultimately be recognized as total net revenues.

Revenues derived from our health and life sciences segment increased by $926,000, or 11.6%, to $8.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 from $8.0 million in the year earlier period. This increase was primarily attributable to increases of (a) $352,000, or 35.7%, in subscription revenue resulting from growth of our in-force subscription contracts, (b) $212,000, or 8.6%, in non-subscription maintenance and support revenue, and (c) $131,000, or 154.5%, in hosting revenue. The growth in maintenance and support and hosting revenues is mostly attributable to the in-force customer relationships we assumed in the ClaimRight and Edge Dynamics acquisitions.

Revenues derived from our industry solutions segment decreased by $787,000, or 38.3%, to $1.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 versus $2.1 million in the same quarter in 2007. This decrease was principally attributable to a decrease in professional services revenue of $558,000, or 79.6%, compared to the year earlier period. Services revenue in this segment have been trending lower over the past several quarters due to decreasing licensing activity, which had largely been a result of both the Company’s renewed emphasis on life sciences markets and recent product defect issues in one of our key software products previously marketed primarily to the industry solutions segment (see “Critical Accounting Policies – Revenue Recognition” in this Item 2 above) and is now largely attributable to reduced marketing expenditures for products targeted to this segment.

OPERATING EXPENSES

COST OF RECURRING REVENUE. Cost of recurring revenue consists primarily of payroll and related costs for providing maintenance and support services, and, to a lesser extent, hosting services. Cost of recurring revenue decreased by $44,000, or 2.6%, to $1.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 versus the year earlier period. This decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction of $220,000 in third-party consulting and hosting fees, most of which is the result of the cancellation of a large customer’s hosting arrangement, partially offset by a $175,000 increase in salary and related costs which were due principally to a small increase in average headcount and annual merit increases. As a percentage of recurring revenue, cost of recurring revenue decreased to 31.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 from 36.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

Table of Contents

COST OF SERVICES REVENUE. Cost of services revenue consists primarily of payroll and related costs and subcontractor fees for providing implementation, consulting and training services. Cost of services revenue decreased by $174,000, or 5.9%, to $2.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 from $3.0 million in the year earlier period. This decrease is primarily attributable to a $166,000 reduction in the cost of consultants, which is primarily attributable to reduced customer demand for professional services in our industry solutions segment as discussed above in this Item 2. As a percentage of services revenue, cost of services revenue increased to 106.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 from 93.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

COST OF THIRD PARTY TECHNOLOGY. Cost of third party technology, which consists of amounts due to third parties for royalties related to integrated technology, has not been significant historically. Cost of third party technology decreased by $37,000 to $41,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. In the quarter ended June 30, 2007, cost of third party technology was principally comprised of the periodic amortization of prepaid royalty amounts in advance of the expiration date of the related technology agreements. No such amortization was recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

AMORTIZATION OF ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS. Amortization of acquired intangible assets related to our acquisitions amounted to $91,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2008, which represents an increase of $44,000, or 94%, from $47,000 recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2007. This increase is attributable to amortization of the newly-acquired intangible assets in connection with the acquisitions of the ClaimRight business and Edge Dynamics.

SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of payroll and related benefits for sales and marketing personnel, commissions for sales personnel, travel costs, recruiting fees, expenses for trade shows and advertising and public relations expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $43,000, or 1.7%, to $2.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the year earlier period. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $402,000 in marketing salary and related costs due principally to higher staffing levels (and which also included $88,000 in one-time severance costs), partially offset by a $360,000 reduction in sales commission costs that was a direct result of the significant decrease in the gross value of license contracts sold as discussed above in this Item 2. As a percentage of total net revenues, sales and marketing expense increased slightly to 25.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 from 25.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses consist primarily of payroll and related costs for development personnel and external consulting costs associated with the development of our products and services. Research and development costs, including the costs of developing computer software, are charged to operations as they are incurred. Research and development expenses decreased by $119,000, or 2.9%, to $4.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 versus $4.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. This decrease was principally comprised of a $1.0 million reduction in consulting costs, which resulted from the significant ramp-down of resources originally retained for the development of our since-released next generation products for our health and life sciences segment, partially offset by a $728,000 increase in salary and related costs, resulting from increases in average headcount of US and offshore employees of 15.5 and 27 employees, respectively. Also, in the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we recognized a credit of $183,000 in connection with a funded research and development engagement. The increase is US headcount is mostly attributable to the acquisitions of the ClaimRight business and Edge Dynamics, while the offshore headcount increase is related to the staffing of our new development office in India. As a percentage of total net revenues, research and development expenses decreased to 39.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 from 40.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for personnel in our administrative, finance and human resources departments, and legal, accounting and other professional service fees. General and administrative expenses decreased by $303,000, or 18.1%, to $1.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 versus $1.7 million in the year earlier period. This reduction in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to decreases of (i) $191,000 in senior management bonuses, a direct result of the lower-than-expected sales and earnings results in the first half of 2008, and (ii) $73,000 in non-cash stock compensation. As a percentage of total net revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased to 13.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 from 16.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

DEPRECIATION. Depreciation expense increased by $91,000, or 42%, to $308,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 versus $217,000 in the year earlier period. This increase is principally attributable to (i) higher levels of spending for furniture, equipment and software additions in the year 2007 ($1.1 million) relative to the year 2004 ($698,000), the majority of these asset additions being depreciated over a three-year life, and (ii) depreciation on property and equipment acquired as part of the Edge Dynamics acquisition.

IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. In connection with the acquisition of Edge Dynamics in May 2008, we allocated $800,000 of the total purchase price to in-process research and development, which was expensed upon consummation of the acquisition. This allocation was based on an appraisal conducted for the purpose of allocating the initial consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This allocation was attributable to one in-process research and development project, which consisted of the development of significant new features and functionality to an existing software product. Edge Dynamics had achieved significant technological milestones on this specific project as of the acquisition date, but the project had not reached technological feasibility. At the time of the acquisition, the project was approximately 75% complete.

RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES. In the quarter ended June 30, 2008, we recorded $12,000 in charges related to efforts in prior quarters to streamline operations, which includes the amortization of the discount incorporated in the initial restructuring provisions for future lease costs in connection with the Chicago and London office downsizings. In the quarter ended June 30, 2007, this charge amounted to $19,000

INTEREST EXPENSE

In the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, interest expense of $400,000 was comprised principally of $368,000 of interest and amortization incurred in connection with the convertible notes payable we issued on December 31, 2007. In the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, interest expense of $24,000 consisted primarily of financing fees incurred in connection with capital lease obligations.

OTHER INCOME, NET

In the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, other income, net of $111,000 was primarily comprised of interest income of $101,000. In the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, other income, net of $170,000 was mostly comprised of $151,000 of interest income. The decrease in interest income in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 versus the year earlier period was entirely attributable to a significant decrease in interest rate yields, partially offset by an increase in average invested balance resulting from the convertible notes payable financing in December 2007.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

We incurred operating losses for all quarters in 2007 and the first six months of 2008 and have consequently recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of our net deferred tax asset, which consists principally of our net operating loss carryforwards, as the future realization of the tax benefit is uncertain. No provision or benefit for income taxes has been recorded in the three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007

NET REVENUES

Net revenues decreased by $851,000, or 4.6%, to $17.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 versus $18.4 million in the year earlier period. Service revenue decreased by $1.3 million, or 20.9%, to $4.9 million versus $6.2 million in the year earlier period as demand for implementation services decreased, particularly in our industry solutions operating segment. License revenue decreased by $618,000, or 20.4%, to $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $3.0 million for the year earlier period due to a reduction in license bookings as more fully discussed below. Recurring revenue increased by $1.1 million, or 10.2%, to $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $9.2 million in the same period a year earlier, primarily attributable to a $662,000, or 42.6%, increase in subscription revenue. As indicated above in this Item 2, subscription arrangements have represented a substantial proportion of license contracts since their introduction in 2004, and our recognized subscription revenues have been increasing during this period.

As indicated in the table above, the gross value of license contracts sold during the first two quarters of 2008 decreased by $6.4 million, or 73.1%, to $2.4 million versus $8.8 million sold during the first two quarters of 2007, due to large decreases in both the number of license transactions (minimum value of $50,000), from 15 to 9, and in the average selling price, from $427,000 to $164,000. Likely reasons for this deterioration in our sales are discussed in “Comparison of the Three Month Periods Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 – Net Revenues.”

Revenues derived from our health and life sciences segment increased by $400,000, or 2.8%, to $14.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $14.3 million in the year earlier period. This increase was primarily attributable to increases of (a) $842,000, or 46.4%, in subscription revenue resulting from growth of our in-force subscription contracts, and (b) $380,000, or 8.0%, in non-subscription maintenance and support revenue, largely attributable to the in-force customer relationships we inherited in the ClaimRight and Edge Dynamics acquisitions, partially offset by decreases of (i) $540,000, or 19.0%, in license revenue and (ii) $401,000, or 8.4%, in professional services revenue.

Revenues derived from our industry solutions segment decreased by $1.2 million, or 31.1%, to $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 versus $4.0 million in the same period in 2007. This reduction was principally attributable to decreases of (i) $881,000, or 64.7%, in professional services revenue, and (ii) $305,000, or 60.4%, in hosting revenue. Services revenue in this segment have been trending lower over the past several quarters due to decreasing licensing activity, which had largely been a result of both the Company’s renewed emphasis on life sciences markets and recent product defect issues in one of our key software products (see “Critical Accounting Policies – Revenue Recognition” in this Item 2 above) and is now largely attributable to reduced marketing expenditures for products targeted to this segment. The decrease in hosting revenue is attributable to the cancellation of a large customer’s hosting arrangement at our subsidiary in the United Kingdom.

OPERATING EXPENSES

COST OF RECURRING REVENUE. Cost of recurring revenue decreased by $129,000, or 3.8%, to $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 versus the year earlier period. This decrease is primarily attributable to reductions of (i) $301,000 in hosting costs incurred by our subsidiary based in the United Kingdom resulting from the cancellation of a large customer’s hosting arrangement and (ii) $107,000 in consulting costs, partially offset by a $341,000 increase in salary and related costs which were due principally to a small increase in average headcount and annual merit increases. As a percentage of recurring revenue, cost of recurring revenue decreased to 31.7% for the period ended June 30, 2008 from 36.7% for the period ended June 30, 2007.

COST OF SERVICES REVENUE. Cost of services revenue decreased by $749,000, or 12.6%, to $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $5.9 million in the year earlier period. This decrease is primarily attributable to a $523,000 reduction in the cost of consultants, which is primarily attributable to reduced customer demand for professional services in our industry solutions segment as discussed above in this Item 2. As a percentage of services revenue, cost of services revenue increased to 106.2% for the period ended June 30, 2008 from 96.2% for the period ended June 30, 2007.

COST OF THIRD PARTY TECHNOLOGY. Cost of third party technology decreased by $104,000 to $50,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. In the six months ended June 30, 2007, cost of third party technology was principally comprised of the periodic amortization of prepaid royalty amounts in advance of the expiration date of the related technology agreements. No such amortization has been recorded during 2008.

AMORTIZATION OF ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS. Amortization of acquired intangible assets related to our acquisitions amounted to $147,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2008, which represents an increase of $54,000, or 58%, from $93,000 recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2007. This increase is attributable to amortization of the newly-acquired intangible assets in connection with the acquisitions of the ClaimRight business and Edge Dynamics.

SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $126,000, or 2.6%, to $5.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the year earlier period. This increase was primarily attributable to increases of (i) $651,000 in marketing salary and related costs due to higher staffing levels (and which also included $88,000 in one-time severance costs) and (ii) $137,000 in marketing and promotion spending, partially offset by a $747,000 reduction in sales commission costs that was a direct result of the decrease in the gross value of license contracts sold as discussed above in this Item 2. As a percentage of total net revenues, sales and marketing expense increased to 28.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from 26.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses decreased by $767,000, or 9.1%, to $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 versus $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This decrease was principally comprised of a $2.1 million reduction in consulting costs, which resulted from the ramp-down of resources originally retained for the development of our since-released next generation products for our health and life sciences segment, partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in salary and related costs, resulting from increases in average headcount of US and offshore employees of 12 and 24 employees, respectively. Also, in the six months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized credits of $354,000 in connection with a funded research and development engagement. The increase is US headcount is mostly attributable to the acquisitions of the ClaimRight business and Edge Dynamics, while the offshore headcount increase is related to the staffing of our new development office in India. As a percentage of total net revenues, research and development expenses decreased to 43.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from 45.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses decreased by $223,000, or 7.2%, to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 versus $3.1 million in the year earlier period. This reduction in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to decreases of (i) $120,000 in salary and related costs, which was principally comprised of reduced senior management bonuses, a direct result of the disappointing sales and earnings results in 2008, and (ii) $121,000 in non-cash stock compensation. As a percentage of total net revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased to 16.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from 17.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

DEPRECIATION. Depreciation expense increased by $132,000, or 33%, to $537,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2008 versus $405,000 in the year earlier period. This increase is principally attributable to (i) higher levels of spending for furniture, equipment and software additions in the year 2007 ($1.1 million) relative to the year 2004 ($698,000), the majority of these asset additions being depreciated over a three-year life, and (ii) depreciation on property and equipment acquired as part of the Edge Dynamics acquisition.

IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. In connection with the acquisitions of the ClaimRight business in February 2008 and Edge Dynamics in May 2008, we allocated a total $1.6 million of the respective purchase considerations to in-process research and development, which was expensed upon consummation of the acquisition. The allocations were based on appraisals conducted for the purpose of allocating initial consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES. In the six months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded $25,000 in charges related to efforts in prior quarters to streamline operations, which includes the amortization of the discount incorporated in the initial restructuring provisions for future lease costs in connection with the Chicago and London office downsizings. In the six ended June 30, 2007, this charge amounted to $81,000, which included the impact of an increase in future projected lease payments for the Chicago office space, most of which is not recoverable from sub lessees.

INTEREST EXPENSE

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, interest expense of $794,000 was comprised principally of $732,000 of interest and amortization incurred in connection with the convertible notes payable we issued on December 31, 2007. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, interest expense of $36,000 consisted primarily of financing fees incurred in connection with capital lease obligations.

OTHER INCOME, NET

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, other income, net of $300,000 was primarily comprised of interest income of $307,000. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, other income, net of $357,000 was mostly comprised of $330,000 of interest income. The decrease in interest income in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 versus the year earlier period was entirely attributable to a significant decrease in interest rate yields, mostly offset by an increase in average invested balance resulting from the convertible notes payable financing in December 2007.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

We incurred operating losses for all quarters in 2007 and the first six months of 2008 and have consequently recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of our net deferred tax asset, which consists principally of our net operating loss carryforwards, as the future realization of the tax benefit is uncertain. No provision or benefit for income taxes has been recorded in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On December 31, 2007, we completed a private placement of $17.0 million of senior convertible notes (“Notes”), which resulted in our receipt of approximately $16.9 million in net proceeds in 2007. An additional $1.1 million in debt issuance costs were incurred and paid in 2008. The Notes bear interest at 6.5% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, and will mature on December 31, 2012. The notes are redeemable at par by the investors on December 31, 2010 and by the Company at any time beginning December 31, 2010. (See Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.) The Company is using the proceeds from the sale of the Notes for general corporate and for working capital purposes.

On November 6, 2006, we completed a private placement of our common stock and warrants, which resulted in our receipt of approximately $6.5 million in net proceeds.

In the first six months of 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007, we entered into several capital lease financing arrangements with different financial institutions in order to finance the purchase of computer equipment, software and related services amounting to $550,000 and $403,000, respectively.

At June 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $15.3 million, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $13.7 million at June 30, 2007. Also at June 30, 2008, we had $17.0 million in convertible notes payable outstanding. The non-current restricted cash balance of $272,000 at June 30, 2008 is comprised of cash amounts held on deposit as security on a long-term real property lease obligation.

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $7.7 million, as compared to $3.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net cash used in operating activities consisted principally of (i) the net loss of $9.2 million, less non-cash items depreciation and amortization of $684,000, in-process research and development of $1.6 million, and stock-based compensation of $1.1 million, and (ii) a $2.5 million decrease in accrued expenses. Also, a $2.0 million decrease in accounts receivable was largely offset by decreases in accounts payable and deferred revenue of $715,000 and $555,000, respectively. The $2.5 million decrease in accrued expenses was principally attributable to several items: (a) payments during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 of $1.5 million of accrued expenses (mostly bonus and severance payments) that had been assumed from the acquisition of Edge Dynamics, (b) a $603,000 decrease in the management bonus accrual resulting primarily from the 2007 year end bonus payouts in February 2008 and a reduction in 2008 year-to-date accruals because of lower-than-expected sales and earnings results, and (c) final settlement and payment of $345,000 in costs related to the annual user conference held in November 2007. The $2.0 million reduction in accounts receivable was primarily attributable to a 56.2% decrease in new license sales in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 versus the last quarter of 2007. The $715,000 decrease in accounts payable represented a reduction in an unusually high balance in this account as of December 31, 2007. The $555,000 decrease in deferred revenue was primarily attributable to the acceleration into revenue of $772,000 in deferred license fees that previously had been accounted for as subscription agreements for accounting purposes, such acceleration being triggered by certain contractual changes in the underlying agreements that were executed in June 2008.

Table of Contents

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, net cash used in operating activities consisted principally of the net loss of $7.7 million, less non-cash items depreciation and amortization of $498,000 and stock-based compensation of $1.2 million, and year-to-date decreases in deferred revenue and accounts payable of $1.2 million and $652,000, respectively, partially offset by a $3.1 million decrease in accounts receivable and a $1.5 increase in accrued expenses. The $1.2 million decrease in deferred revenue was primarily attributable to (i) a $1.3 million decrease in deferred maintenance fees, which is largely due to the seasonality effect described below in connection with the change in accounts receivable and (ii) the recognition into revenue during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 of $960,000 in previously-deferred license fees, partially offset by a $560,000 increase in deferred subscription fees, resulting from the significant increase in our in-force subscription business. The $652,000 decrease in accounts payable was more than offset by a $1.1 million increase in unpaid consulting fees that were included in accrued expenses, due to the late submission of invoices by vendors. The $3.1 million decrease in accounts receivable was primarily attributable to (i) $1.7 million in collections of license billings during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 for agreements executed in the same quarter versus essentially no such collections occurring during the fourth quarter of 2006, and (ii) a $1.8 million decrease in maintenance and support renewal billings in the second quarter of 2007 versus the fourth quarter of 2006, such seasonality the end result of a significant portion of our customers having requested calendar year billing cycles for maintenance and support renewals regardless of the anniversary date of their license agreements. The $1.5 million increase in accrued expenses is mostly attributable to the $1.1 million increase in accrued consulting fees discussed above, and to increases of $252,000 in both commissions payable and accrued sales taxes.

In the six months ended June 30, 2008, net cash used in investing activities consisted of (i) $2.3 million paid to acquired Edge Dynamics, (ii) $1.6 million paid to acquire the ClaimRight business and (iii) $371,000 of property and equipment additions. In the six months ended June 30, 2007, net cash used in investing activities was comprised solely of $278,000 in property and equipment additions.

Net cash used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2008 of $1.2 million was primarily comprised of $1.1 million in payments of debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the convertible notes financing in December 2007. Net cash provided by financing activities was $130,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2007, consisting of $228,000 in proceeds from stock option exercises and employee stock purchases, partially offset by $98,000 in payments on capital lease obligations.

We currently anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents of $15.3 million will be sufficient to meet our anticipated needs for working capital, capital expenditures, and acquisitions for at least the next 12 months. However, this cash balance is not sufficient to redeem the $17.0 million in outstanding principal of our convertible notes, payment of which could become due as early as December 31, 2010. Also, our future long-term capital needs will depend significantly on the rate of growth of our business, our rate of loss, the mix of subscription licensing arrangements versus perpetual licenses sold, possible acquisitions, the timing of expanded product offerings and the success of these offerings if and when they are launched. Accordingly, any projections of future long-term cash needs and cash flows are subject to substantial uncertainty. If our current balance of cash and cash equivalents is insufficient to satisfy our long-term liquidity needs, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities to raise funds, and those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of our common stock. In connection with a sale of stock, our stockholders would experience dilution. In addition, we cannot be certain that additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. Also, our stock price may make it difficult for us to raise additional equity financing.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

INTEREST RATE RISK

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio. We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing yields without assuming significant risk. This is accomplished by investing in diversified investments, consisting primarily of short-term investment-grade securities. Due to the nature of our investments, we believe there is no material risk exposure. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates, either positive or negative, would not have had a significant effect on either (i) our cash flows and reported net losses in the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, or (ii) the fair value of our investment portfolios at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

At June 30, 2008, our cash and cash equivalents consisted entirely of money market investments with remaining maturities of 90 days or less when purchased and non-interest bearing checking accounts. Investments in marketable debt securities with maturities greater than 90 days and less than one year are classified as held-to-maturity short-term investments and are recorded at amortized cost. Under current investment guidelines, maturities on short-term investments are restricted to one year or less. Investments in auction rate securities, with maturities which can be greater than one year but for which interest rates reset in less than 90 days, are classified as available for sale securities and stated at fair market value. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we held no auction rate certificates, having disposed of all our previous holdings in such investments during 2005.

At June 30, 2008, our outstanding debt consisted entirely of senior convertible notes of $17.0 million and capital lease obligations of $858,000. The interest rates on the convertible notes (6.5%) and our various capital lease obligations (6.4%—15.2%) are fixed, so we are not currently exposed to risk from changes in interest rates. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would not have had a significant effect on our annual interest expense.

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK

We operate in certain foreign locations, where the currency used is not the U.S. dollar. However, these locations have not been, and are not currently expected to be, significant to our consolidated financial statements. Changes in exchange rates have not had a material effect on our business.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2008 to ensure that all material information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to them as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and that all such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

(b) Changes in Internal Control. No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to other information in this Form 10-Q, the following factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q and presented elsewhere by management from time to time.

THE COMPANY’S INCREASED LEVERAGE MAY RESTRICT ITS FUTURE OPERATIONS.

The Company has substantial indebtedness, including senior notes sold by the Company on December 31, 2007 in the principal amount of $17 million. The payment of interest and principal due under this indebtedness will reduce funds available for other business purposes, including capital expenditures and acquisitions. In addition, the aggregate amount of indebtedness may limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, and thereby may limit its operations and strategic expansion. As of June 30, 2008, our cash balance was less than the outstanding principal of our debt. If we cannot improve our cash balance before our debt’s maturity date on December 31, 2012 (or the earlier elective redemption date on December 31, 2010), we would be unable to repay our outstanding debt and interest owed. If we have insufficient cash to repay our debt when it becomes due, we cannot give assurances that we will be able to obtain financing to repay our debt on acceptable terms.

THE BID PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK ON THE NASDAQ STOCK MARKET HAS BEEN BELOW $1.00 PER SHARE, AND IF THE BID PRICE REMAINS BELOW $1.00 PER SHARE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD, OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE DELISTED FROM THE NASDAQ STOCK MARKET, WHICH COULD REDUCE THE LIQUIDITY OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO RAISE ADDITIONAL NECESSARY CAPITAL AND MIGHT CAUSE A DEFAULT ON OUR DEBT SECURITIES,

 

35


Table of Contents

Under NASDAQ Stock Market rules, if the closing bid price of our common stock falls below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days and we do not regain compliance within the subsequent 180 days, our common stock may be delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Market (including both the NASDAQ Global Market and the NASDAQ Capital Market). The delisting of our common stock may result in the trading of the stock on the OTC Bulletin Board. A delisting of our common stock from the NASDAQ Stock Market may reduce the liquidity of our common stock and could adversely affect our ability to raise additional necessary capital and could adversely affect our sales efforts. In addition, if our common stock is not listed on either the NASDAQ Stock Market, the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange for more than five days, we would be in default on our convertible debt securities. On July 7, 2008, the closing price of our common stock was $0.97 and has closed below $1.00 per share each day thereafter through the date of this filing.

Separately, our common stock may be de-listed from the NASDAQ Global Market and we may be required to apply for listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market. On July 23, 2008, we received notice from the NASDAQ Stock Market that for the prior 10 consecutive trading days, the market value of our listed securities had been below the minimum $50 million requirement for continued inclusion on the NASDAQ Global Market. If compliance with this rule cannot be demonstrated by August 22, 2008, our common stock may be de-listed from the NASDAQ Global Market. We may, however, apply to transfer our common stock from the NASDAQ Global Market to the NASDAQ Capital Market (which does not require that the market value of listed securities be at least $50 million).

WE HAVE INCURRED SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES IN RECENT YEARS AND OUR RETURN TO PROFITABILITY IS UNCERTAIN

We incurred net losses of $15.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2006, $9.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2007, and $9.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008, and we had an accumulated deficit at June 30, 2008 of $169.3 million. We have a stockholders’ deficit of $3.4 million in our balance sheet at June 30, 2008. Our recent results have been impacted by a number of factors, including decisions by current and prospective customers to defer, or otherwise not make, purchases from us and relatively high research and development expense, and we cannot assure you that we will not be affected by these or other factors in future periods. We cannot assure you that we will achieve sufficient revenues to become profitable in the future.

IT IS DIFFICULT FOR US TO PREDICT WHEN OR IF SALES WILL OCCUR AND WHEN WE WILL RECOGNIZE THE REVENUE FROM OUR FUTURE SALES

Our clients view the purchase of our software applications and related professional services as a significant and strategic decision. As a result, clients carefully evaluate our software products and services, often over long periods. The licensing of our software products may be subject to delays if the client has lengthy internal budgeting, approval and evaluation processes, which are quite common in the context of introducing large enterprise-wide technology solutions. The length of this evaluation process varies from client to client. Our clients have also shown an interest in licensing our software on a subscription basis, which results in deferral of payments and revenues that could otherwise be reportable if a traditional, fully-paid perpetual license were executed. Our revenue forecasts and internal budgets are based, in part, on our best assumptions about the mix of future subscription licenses versus perpetual licenses. If we enter into a larger proportion of subscription agreements than planned, we may experience an unplanned shortfall in revenues or cash during that quarter. A significant percentage of our expenses, particularly personnel costs and rent, are fixed costs and are based in part on expectations of future revenues. We may be unable to reduce spending in a timely manner to compensate for any significant

fluctuations in revenues and cash. Accordingly, shortfalls in current revenues, as we have experienced in recent years, may cause our operating results to be below the expectations of public market analysts or investors, which could cause the value of our common stock to decline.

OUR CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS HAS BEEN NEGATIVE AND WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO BE NEGATIVE UNTIL WE RETURN TO SUSTAINED PROFITABILITY

Our future long-term capital needs will depend significantly on the rate of growth of our business, our profitability, the mix of subscription licensing arrangements versus perpetual licenses sold, possible acquisitions, the timing of expanded product offerings and the success of these offerings if and when they are launched. Accordingly, our future long-term cash needs and cash flows are subject to substantial uncertainty. If our current balance of cash and cash equivalents is insufficient to satisfy our long-term liquidity needs, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities to raise funds, and those future securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of our common stock. In connection with a sale of stock, our stockholders would experience dilution. In addition, we cannot be certain that additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS MAY CONTINUE TO WEAKEN OUR SALES

Uncertainty in general economic and market conditions have negatively affected and may continue to negatively affect demand for our products and services. In addition, current world economic and political conditions have reduced the willingness of our customers and prospective customers to commit funds to purchase our products and services. The resulting loss or delay in our sales has had and could continue to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

WE ARE HIGHLY DEPENDENT UPON THE LIFE SCIENCES INDUSTRY, AND FACTORS THAT ADVERSELY AFFECT THAT MARKET, INCLUDING CONSOLIDATION, COULD ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT US

Most of our revenue to date has come from pharmaceutical companies and a limited number of other clients in the life sciences industry, and our future growth depends, in large part, upon increased sales to the life sciences market. As a result, demand for our solutions could be affected by any factors that could adversely affect the demand for healthcare products, which are purchased and sold pursuant to contracts managed through our solutions. The financial condition of our clients and their willingness to pay for our solutions are affected by factors that may impact the purchase and sale of healthcare products, including competitive pressures, changes in regulations, decreasing operating margins within the industry, currency fluctuations, active geographic expansion and government regulation. The life sciences market is undergoing intense consolidation. We cannot assure you that we will not experience declines in revenue caused by mergers or consolidations among our clients and potential clients.

WE HAVE MANY COMPETITORS AND POTENTIAL COMPETITORS AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY

The market for our products and services is competitive and subject to rapid change. We encounter significant competition for the sale of our contract management software from the internal information systems departments of existing and potential clients, software companies that target the contract management markets and professional services organizations. Our competitors vary in size and in the scope and breadth of products and services offered. We anticipate competition for market share and pressure to reduce prices and make sales concessions, which could materially and adversely affect our revenues and margins.

WE MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN DEVELOPING OR ACQUIRING NEW TECHNOLOGIES OR BUSINESSES AND THIS COULD HINDER OUR EXPANSION EFFORTS

We have had quality issues with one of our software products, which have affected our sales and have caused us to defer revenue recognition, and these issues may continue. We may consider additional acquisitions of or new investments in complementary businesses, products, services or technologies. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in our product development efforts or that we will be able to identify appropriate acquisition or investment candidates. Even if we do identify suitable candidates, we cannot assure you that we will be able to make such acquisitions or investments on terms acceptable to us. Furthermore, we may incur debt or issue equity securities to pay for any future acquisitions. The issuance of equity securities could be dilutive to our existing stockholders and the issuance of debt could limit our available cash and accordingly restrict our activities.

WE HAVE MADE SEVERAL ACQUISITIONS THIS YEAR AND MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY INTEGRATING THEM. WE MAY MAKE ADDITIONAL ACQUISITIONS.

Since the beginning of 2008, we have acquired the ClaimRight business and Edge Dynamics, Inc., which are or were located in Ambler, Pennsylvania and Redwood City, California, respectively. We may make additional acquisitions. Any other company that we acquire is likely to be distant from our headquarters in Edison, New Jersey and will have a culture different from ours as well as technologies, products and services that our employees will need to understand and integrate with our own. We will have to assimilate the acquired employees, technologies and products, and that effort is difficult, time-consuming and may be unsuccessful. If we are not successful, our investment in the acquired entity may be lost, and even if we are successful, the process of integrating an acquired entity may divert our attention from our core business.

WE HAVE MULTIPLE FACILITIES AND WE MAY EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTIES IN OPERATING FROM THESE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS

We operate out of our corporate headquarters in Edison, New Jersey, engineering offices in Redwood City, California, Portland, Maine and Gandhinagar, India, and an office facility in London, England. The geographic distances between our offices makes it more challenging for our management and other employees to collaborate and communicate with each other than if they were all located in a single facility, and, as a result, increases the demand on our managerial, operational and financial resources. Also, a significant number of our sales and professional services employees work remotely out of home offices, which adds to this demand.

WE MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN RETAINING AND ATTRACTING TALENTED AND KEY EMPLOYEES

We depend on the services of our senior management and key technical personnel. The loss of the services of key employees, and the inability to attract new employees to fill crucial roles, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

OUR EFFORTS TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MAY NOT BE FULLY EFFECTIVE, AND WE MAY INADVERTENTLY INFRINGE ON THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OF OTHERS

Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain the use of information that we regard as proprietary. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States. We cannot assure investors that our means of protecting our proprietary rights will be adequate or that our competitors will not independently develop similar technology.

We are not aware that any of our products infringe the proprietary rights of third parties. We cannot assure investors, however, that third parties will not claim infringement by us with respect to current or future products. We expect that software product developers will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products and competitors in our industry segment grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps. Any such claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all, which could have a material adverse effect upon our business, operating results and financial condition.
