In addition to traditional brick-and-mortar retailers using BroadVision as
their business-to-consumer e-commerce solution, over 140 companies worldwide use
BroadVision applications to customize interactionsproductivity and
transactions between
themselves and their suppliers in a business-to-business environment or to
create online marketplaces where multiple buyers and vendors purchase and sell
goods and services. Among our retail and business-to-business commerce customers
are over 70 recently formed "dot com" companies who have chosen to deploy their
e-businesses using BroadVision. We believe that our customers, particularly
those in Europe, are at the leading edge of deploying applications that display
content and conduct transactions on wireless devices. Additionally,
information-intensive businesses have found our applications to be well-suited
for employee intranet sites, where enterprise information is centralized,
personalized and delivered.
Personalizing Web and Wireless Interactions and Transactions
The Web has changed the nature of business operations and competition by
creating more efficient marketplaces. Since information is now much more readily
available, companies and their customers, suppliers, partners, distributors,
employees and other constituents, have the means to instantaneously share
information, automate business processes and conduct business on a global scale.
However, the sheer volume of information, combined with the constituents'
ability to change vendors at the click of a button on a mouse, has led directly
to the need for differentiation. Personalization through one-to-one relationship
management has become the solution. In the past, personalization of products or
services was often inefficient and expensive for companies which had to rely on
inefficient mass marketing or a costly, direct sales
4
model. Moving from these channels to efficient and economical one-to-one
relationship management became possible with the advent of the Web.
With the appropriate applications in place, companies could react to the
informational and self-service needs of individual customers, partners and
employees in real time. More specifically, when the Web was coupled with
personalized e-business applications, business managers were given the ability
to capture visitor profile information, observations and feedback interactively,
and to use rule-driven tools to target, in real time, useful information to
visitors based on this data. One-to-one relationship management allows a company
to use its knowledge of its customers, suppliers, partners, distributors and
employees to personalize interactions and thus strengthen relationships, foster
loyalty, and create and sustain competitive advantage. One-to-one relationship
management provides the foundation for delivering individually tailored
products, services, information, incentives and transactions. Whether a Web or
wireless application is designed primarily for conducting commerce or providing
customer self-service, it offers businesses an opportunity to extend
front-office services or deliver knowledge in a personalized and cost-effective
way to all constituents of the extended enterprise. In particular, business
managers can use advanced technologies to engage in personalized dialogues with
millions of customers, or with just one.
The Next Wave of Web and Wireless Technologies
BroadVision was one of the first companies to pioneer the technologies for
managing personalized customer relationships and high volume online transactions
on the Web. Our scalable, patented technology enabled business managers to
easily define business rules for managing highly complex business processes and
displaying dynamic content in areas such as product and pricing data, financial
policies, promotions and advertising campaigns. We debuted tools that eased Web
site development, introduced real-time control and management of Web sites, and
generated page logic. Not surprisingly, new technology requirements have
surfaced since we first introduced our BroadVision One-To-One(TM) applications
to market in 1995. With our proposed acquisition of Interleaf, we demonstrated
our commitment to XML for creating, publishing, managing, styling and
re-purposing electronic content. The acquisition of Interleaf will also provide
to us WAP and XSL technologies for styling and delivering content to wireless
devices. Our commitment to Java, Enterprise JavaBeans and J2EE is measured by
the signing of a significant co-development and co-marketing agreement with Sun
Microsystems in March 2000, which will result in a new family of Java-based
BroadVision applications. And we are committed to helping customers leverage
their existing back- and front-office applications infrastructure through the
availability of packaged interfaces to a growing number of third-party
applications, including those from Siebel Systems and SAP, as demonstrated by
agreements with both Siebel Systems and STC Technologies to develop interfaces.
The Ascendancy of Packaged Applications
Packaged applications are a proven alternative to in-house or third-party
custom applications development. The trend toward packaged solutions is typical
of business automation software, with the markets for accounting, manufacturing,
human resources and sales force automation systems dominated by packaged
applications. Packaged solutions end a company's dependence on home-grown,
custom-built systems, enabling them to increase the resources available for core
business initiatives. To realize the potential of one-to-one relationship
management, packaged applications must support the following goals:
o Attract, retain and service visitors that range from the casual to the
sophisticated by providing dynamic content, interactive dialogues and
communities of interest in a friendly, easy-to-use Web and wireless
environment;
o Provide non-technical business managers with the ability to define and
modify the application's business rules and content in real time;
o Develop and maintain visitor profiles, observe and remember interactions
and engage in ongoing personalized dialogues while empowering individuals
to control the privacy of their personal data;
o Dynamically target personalized content, products and incentives to
correspond to profile data in order to motivate visitors to interact and
conduct transactions;
o Integrate and interact with back and front office systems to fully
utilize a company's data and information resources;
o Fulfill financial and information transactions with secure electronic
commerce processes; and
5
o Offer a consistent end-user experience across multiple constituent touch
points such as wireless devices, including cellular telephones, pagers
and personal digital assistants, or PDAs, interactive voice response
systems and the traditional call center.

We believe that we presently compete favorably with respectCompared to eachus, many of these factors. However,and other current and future competitors
have longer operating histories and significantly greater financial,
technical, marketing and other resources than those of us. As a result, they
may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities,
technologies and customer requirements. Many of these companies also can use
their greater name recognition and more extensive customer base to gain
market share at our expense. Competitors may be able to undertake more
extensive promotional activities, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and
offer more attractive terms to purchasers. Current and potential competitors
may bundle their products to discourage users from purchasing our products.
In addition, competitors have established or may establish cooperative
relationships among themselves or with third parties to enhance their
products. Accordingly, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among
competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market is still evolving,share.
Competitive pressures may make it difficult for us to acquire and weretain
customers and may require us to reduce the price of our products. We may be
unable to compete successfully with current or futurenew competitors.
Technology
The technical demands of interactive, personalized one-to-one e-business
applications, deployable on the Web, extranets and intranets, require an
architectural design that is standards-based, open, interoperable and flexible.
Our applications are based on a modular, component-based architecture that
provides for robust, scalable and extensible e-business applications. By
emphasizing reusable code, separation of application logic, business rules and
data, and adherence to open standards such as Java, XML and CORBA, our
applications provide an efficient architecture for customers and partners to
deploy, modify, and control applications, as well as to integrate them with
external business systems. This architecture also provides a robust foundation
upon which we can rapidly develop new products.
Our advanced technology enables the delivery of robust, scalable and
innovative e-business solutions into the market faster and at a lower cost than
alternatives. Our technology consists of the following key elements:
Adherence to Industry Standards
Industry standards protect a customer's investment by providing compatibility
with existing applications, enabling ease of modification, and reducing the need
for software to be rewritten. Our architecture complies with CORBA, a
16
standard for applications software design and development widely adopted in the
commercial software industry. Applications that are CORBA-compliant can:
o run on either single computers with one or more processors or across
large networks;
o allow replication and relocation of object servers to improve system
performance;
o are platform independent; and
o have strongly defined application programming interfaces through the use
of the Interface Definition Language specified by CORBA.
Java. We are strongly committed to Java and Java-based technologies such as
Enterprise Java Beans (EJB). Our application templates, which define the
front-end look-and-feel of pages on the web site, are written in JavaScript.
Most of our backend programs are written in C++ and Java, which are
widely-accepted standard programming languages for developing Web applications.
Our commitment to industry standards such as Java and C++, along with open,
published programming interfaces into the applications, delivers an e-business
solution that is open and extensible. Customers benefit by needing fewer
resources to modify the application, and by having simplified integrations with
other applications, such as ERP systems.
XML. Our applications fully support XML, which is an emerging standard for
managing and exchanging data between systems. In addition, XML facilitates
re-purposing information so that it can be sent to non-browser interfaces such
as those used by wireless devices including mobile telephones, pagers and PDA's.
Our adoption and support of XML for content management allows customers to
publish information in a structured manner, which can then be directed toward
either a browser or communication devices such as email or mobile telephones.
In addition to Java, XML, C++ and CORBA, we use other widely accepted
standards in developing our products, including Structured Query Language for
accessing relational database management systems; Common Gateway Interface and
Hypertext Transfer Protocol for Web access; Netscape Application Programming
Interface for access to Netscape's Web servers; Secure Socket Layer for secure
transmissions over networks; and the RC2 and MD5 encryption algorithms supplied
by RSA. Our applications can be operated in conjunction with relational database
management systems provided by Informix, Microsoft, Oracle and Sybase.
N-Tier Architecture. Our applications use a modular, N-tier architecture that
logically separates application presentation, business rules and data. Between
each of these tiers are session managers and adapters that facilitate
integration with external business systems interface technologies, described
below, that establish seamless interoperability between application components.
This architecture partitions applications across:
o a front-end tier that manages the application presentation and interface
to Web site visitors;
o application engine tiers that manage application activities such as
community, profiling, targeting and transactions, and the business rules
that define the interactive characteristics and behavior of one-to-one,
personalized applications. This layer utilizes a lightweight component
model, which can be distributed across multiple logical and physical
processors, thus enabling the N-tier design of the application; and
o a back-end tier that integrates underlying database management systems
with external business systems, such as ERP and CRM solutions, that
perform specialized relationship management functions.
Interaction Manager. Our "session manager" technology is designed to manage
the high volume of dynamic interactions that occur in online sessions between
many concurrent Web site visitors and an e-business application. The session
manager, called the BroadVision Interaction Manager, enables three key
activities:
o maintaining user profile information between visitors and sites so that
each current and future interaction can trigger a response appropriate to
the objectives of both visitor and site provider;
o interpreting application objects and templates in real time and
retrieving profile data and business rules to dynamically generate HTML
code that tailors content, Web pages and interactions to the needs and
interests of individual Web site visitors; and
o enabling application scalability by allowing Web site providers to add
additional software processes or hardware processors to their Web systems
to support more concurrent Web site visitors without incurring
performance degradation or additional overhead in application
maintenance.
17
Components and Applications. We believe the costs and time associated with
Web application development and maintenance can be substantially reduced with
our technology. Our applications are comprised of reusable application
components and presentation templates. Application components, such as customer
account information for a business-to-business transaction, are designed to be
open and customizable. Used in combination with our structured development
methodology, these technologies are designed to help customers and partners
create reusable program components that increase application quality and reduce
cost and time-to-market of new and maintained applications. Application
templates, written in JavaScript, enable business managers to define and
implement business rules through the BroadVision One-To-One Command Center on a
real-time basis. Our customers, partners and consultants use these templates and
JavaScript to develop e-business application solutions. Our Education Services
Group offers training classes to customers and partners on the use of components
and application templates.
Content Management. Key to successful e-business applications is the ability
to deliver relevant, current and accurate information to the application's users
such as customers, employees and business partners. Our personalization
capabilities enable business managers to define rules to deliver the right
information to the right user at the right time. Content management discipline
ensures that this information is kept current and accurate. Our content
management system, which is based on XML standards, provides a rich environment
for users to create and publish information to the web and to other formats,
such as wireless. In addition, XML enables automatic data feeds and syndication
of information to other systems and business partners. For example, a vendor's
catalog information can be automatically and easily included in a e-business Web
site.
Intellectual Property and Other Proprietary Rights
Our success and ability to compete are dependent to a significant
degree on our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright,
trademark, service mark, trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to
protect our proprietary rights in products and services. WeAlthough we hold a U.S patent, issued
to usin January 1998, on January 20, 1998, covering certain elements of ourthe BroadVision One-To-One Enterprise
product. Our success and competitive position depends on
our ability to protect our proprietary technology. We have registered
"BroadVision" and "BroadVision One-To-One" as trademarks in the United States.
However, the steps taken by usproduct, this patent may not prevent misappropriationprovide an adequate level of our
technology and agreements entered into for that purpose may not be enforceable.intellectual
property protection. In addition, litigation like the lawsuit we filed
against ATG,Art Technology Group, which was recently
settled in February 2000, may be
necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to
protect our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the
proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or
invalidity. We cannot guarantee that infringement or other claims will not be
asserted or prosecuted against us in the future, whether resulting from our
intellectual property or licenses from third parties. Claims or litigation,
whether successful or unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and
diversions of resources, either of which could harm our business.
We also rely on copyright, trademark, service mark, trade secret laws
and contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary rights in products
and services. We have registered "BroadVision" and "BroadVision One-To-One"
as trademarks in the United States and in other countries. It is possible
that our competitors or other companies will adopt product names similar to
these trademarks, impeding our ability to build brand identity and possibly
confusing customers.
As a matter of company policy, we enter into confidentiality and
assignment agreements with our employees, consultants and vendors. We also
control access to and distribution of our software, documents and other
proprietary information. Notwithstanding these precautions, it may be
possible for an unauthorized third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use
our software or other proprietary information or to develop similar software
independently. Policing unauthorized use of our products will be difficult,
particularly because the global nature of the Internet makes it difficult to
control the ultimate destination or security of software and other
transmitted data. The laws of other countries may afford us little or no
effective protection of our intellectual property. We rely upon certain
software that we license from third parties, including relational database
management systems from Oracle and Sybase, object request broker software
from IONA Technologies, database access technology from Rogue WaveRogueWave Software
and other software that is integrated with internally developed software and
used in our software to perform key functions. In this regard, all of our
services incorporate data encryption and authentication technology licensed
from RSA. Our third-party technology licenses may not continue to be
available to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. The loss of or
inability to maintain any of these technology licenses could result in delays
in introduction of our products and services until equivalent technology, if
available, is identified, licensed and integrated, which could harm our
business.

Recent Acquisitions
On April 14, 2000, we acquired Interleaf, Inc. and its subsidiaries
("Interleaf") pursuant to a statutory merger involving a stock-for-stock
exchange. We acquired Interleaf primarily to enable us to add significant
wireless technology capabilities and substantially increase our ability to
provide enhanced personalized e-business applications across multi-touch points.

Operations--Overview" and Note 2 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements"
for more detailed information.
Employees
As of December 31, 1999,2000, we employed a total of 6522,412 full-time employees,
of whom 5071,828 are based in the United States, 96North America and South America, 372 in Europe and
49212 in Asia. Of these full-time employees, 232740 are in sales and marketing, 119348
are in product development, 2461,135 are in professionalglobal services and client support, and
55189 are in finance, administration and operations. As of December 31, 19981999 and
1997,1998, we employed 271652 and 188271 full-time employees, respectively.
18
We believe that our future success depends on attracting and retaining
highly skilled personnel. Competition for personnel is intense, and we may be
unable to attract and retain high-caliber employees. Our employees are not
represented by any collective bargaining unit. We have never experienced a work
stoppage and consider our employee relations to be good.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues
Our revenues are derived from software licensing arrangements and fees
charged for services. Our software licensing arrangements include fees for
software application products and fees for profiled users associated with the
deployment of purchased applications. In general, revenues related to software
licensing arrangements are recognized upon the consummation of a sale. A sale is
considered consummated when a non-cancelable license agreement has been executed
and the customer acknowledges an unconditional obligation to pay, the software
product has been delivered, there are no uncertainties surrounding product
acceptance, the fees are fixed and determinable and collection is considered
probable. Our professional services are delivered by our Strategic Services
Group, Interactive Services Group, Content and Creative Services Group,
Education Services Group and Technical Support Group. Revenues for consulting
related services are typically recognized when the services are performed.
Maintenance fees for technical support and software product upgrades are
recognized ratably over the contractedOur revenues are derived from software licensing arrangements and fees
charged for services. Software is generally licensed for development use and
for its use in deployment of the customer's website. Deployment licenses are
generally based on the number of persons who register on a customer's website
using our software. Our revenue recognition policies are in accordance with
Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended
and SOP 98-9, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain
Transactions. In general, software license revenues are recognized when a
non-cancelable license agreement has been signed and the customer
acknowledges an unconditional obligation to pay, the software product has
been delivered, there are no uncertainties surrounding product acceptance,
the fees are fixed and determinable and collection is considered probable;
professional services revenues are recognized as such services are performed;
and maintenance revenues, or post-contract customer support, or PCS,
including revenues bundled with software agreements which entitle the
customers to technical support and future unspecified enhancements to our
products, are deferred and recognized ratably over the related contract
period, generally twelve months. Revenues recognized from multiple-element
software arrangements are allocated to each element of the arrangement based
on the fair values of the elements, such as software products, post contract
customer support, installation or training. The determination of fair value
is based on objective evidence which is specific to us. If evidence of fair
value does not exist for all elements of a license agreement and PCS is the
only undelivered element, then all revenue for the license arrangement is
recognized ratably over the term of the agreement as license revenue. If
evidence of fair value of all undelivered elements exists but evidence does
not exist for one or more delivered elements, then revenue is recognized
using the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value of the
undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement
fee is recognized as revenue. Services that the Company provides are not
essential to the functionality of the software.
We record unearned revenue for software arrangements when cash has been
received from the customer and the arrangement does not qualify for revenue
recognition under our revenue recognition policy. We record accounts receivable
for software arrangements when the arrangement qualifies for revenue recognition
but cash or other consideration has not been received from the customer.
Our professional services are delivered through our BroadVision Global
Services Organization, or BVGS, presently comprised of the Strategic Services
Group, the Technical Services Group, the Content and Creative Services Group,
the Client Services, Project and Program Management Group, the Partner
Services Group, the Education Services Group and the Technical Support
Services Group. The first three groups provide consulting services, the
fourth group manages projects and client relationships, the fifth group
manages the needs of our partner community, the sixth group provides
training-related services to employees, customers and partners, and the last
group provides software maintenance services, including technical
18
support, to our customers and partners. Revenue from consulting services is
typically recognized as services are performed. Maintenance fees relating to
technical support and upgrades are recognized ratably over the maintenance
period. A summary of our software and services revenues by geographic region for
the periods indicated is as follows:

2000 versus 1999
Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000 increased $298.4
million or 258% on a year-over-year basis, and consisted of an increase in
software license revenue of $175.5 million or 233% and an increase in
professional services revenue of $122.9 million or 306%.
The 233% increase in software license revenues is a result of continued
strong demand by existing and new customers for our expanding product line
and core competencies and the growing market for business-to-business and
business-to-consumer e-commerce software application solutions. Our
aggressive growth and enhanced presence in global markets were contributing
factors in our overall increase in revenues. Also contributing to increased
revenues are sales of software licenses of products acquired in the Interleaf
transaction. Revenues attributed to the sales of software licenses for
products acquired as a result of the Interleaf acquisition were approximately
$11 million from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2000. During
the year, we continued to expand the functionality and personalization
attributes of our application products that contributed to a broadened
customer base and an increased level of repeat business. In addition, our
deployment license revenues, which are based upon related user profiles,
continued to accelerate as a result of an increasingly large number of live
sites.
Software product license revenues for our Enterprise applications
increased to $18.6 million in 2000 as compared to $14.6 million in 1999.
Software license revenues for our web applications and tools, or packaged
solutions, increased to $232.2 million in 2000 as compared to $60.8 million
in 1999. Deployment license revenues increased to $81.8 million in 2000 as
compared to $31.2 million in 1999. During the year ended December 31, 2000,
we licensed 557 new end-user customers, including customers acquired as part
of the Interleaf acquisition, and 74 new partners which compares with
approximately 217 new end-user customers and 47 new partners for the year
ended December 31, 1999. As of December 31, 2000, we had a total installed
license base of 1,169 consisting of 972 end-user customers, including
customers acquired as part of the Interleaf acquisition, and 197 partners,
which compares with 415 end-user customers and 123 partners as of December
31, 1999.
The 306% increase in professional services revenue is a result of
higher levels of consulting related services associated with increased
business volumes and higher customer support revenues derived from a larger
installed customer base. Maintenance related fees for technical support and
product upgrades were $46.2 million in 2000 which compares to $13.4 million
in 1999. We also experienced increases in services and maintenance revenues
as a result of the Interleaf acquisition. Total services revenues related to
customers acquired as a result of the Interleaf acquisition were
approximately $17 million. During fiscal 2000, we expanded our corporate
training facilities by building new training centers in Chicago, Illinois,
the United Kingdom and Taipei, Taiwan.
To date we have achieved good market acceptance for our products and have
experienced continued revenue growth. We anticipate that international revenues
will continue to account for a significant amount of total revenues, and expect
to continue to commit significant time and financial resources to the
maintenance and ongoing development of direct and indirect international sales
and support channels. However, we may be unable to maintain or continue to
increase international or domestic market acceptance for our family of products.
19
1999 versus 1998
Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999 increased $64.6
million or 127% on a year-over-year basis, and consisted of an increase in
software license revenue of $39.3 million or 109% and an increase in
professional services revenue of $25.3 million or 170%.
The 109% increase in software license revenues iswas a result of continued
strong demand for our expanding product line and core competencies; our
strategic positioning within a high momentum market for business to businessbusiness-to-business and
business to consumerbusiness-to-consumer personalization focused software application solutions; and
the ability to achieve greater penetration into our existing customer base while
continuing to add significant numbers of new quality customers. During the year,
we continued to expand the functionality and personalization attributes of our
application products that contributed to a broadened customer base and an
increased level of repeat business. In addition, our deployment related user
profile based licensing revenues continued to accelerate as a result of an
increasingly larger number of live sites. Software product license revenues for
our targeted web enablingEnterprise applications increaseddecreased to $25.9$14.6 million in 1999 as compared to
$10.2$19.3 million in 1998. Deployment related user profile license revenues
increased to $31.2 million in 1999 as compared to $14.8 million in 1998. During
the year ended December 31, 1999, we licensed approximately 217 new end-user
customers and 47 new partners which compares with approximately 94 new end-user
customers and 27 new partners for the year ended December 31, 1998. As of
December 31, 1999, we had a 24
total installed license base of over 410 end-user
customers and 120 partners, which compares with over 195 end-user customers and
75 partners as of December 31, 1998.
The 170% increase in professional services revenue iswas a result of higher
levels of consulting related services associated with increased business volumes
and higher customer support revenues derived from a larger installed customer
base. Maintenance related fees for technical support and product upgrades were
$13.4 million in 1999 which compares to $5.1 million in 1998. During the year
ended December 31, 1999, we continued to expand and enhance our professional
services group and, during August 1999, we completed our greatly expanded
corporate training facility located in Redwood City, California. We have also added
additional training and professional consulting related facilities in Europe and
Asia as of December 31, 1999.
To date we have achieved good market acceptance for our products and have
experienced continued revenue growth. We anticipate that international revenues
will continue to account for a significant amount of total revenues, and expect
to continue to commit significant time and financial resources to the
maintenance and ongoing development of direct and indirect international sales
and support channels. Our Asia/Pacific operations have experienced lower growth
rates over the previous years as a result of the generally weak economic
conditions of that region. As a result, we expect that any significant growth in
international revenues will most likely come from European operations. However,
we may be unable to maintain or continue to increase international or domestic
market acceptance for our family of products.
1998 versus 1997
Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1998 increased $23.8 million
or 88% on a year-over-year basis, and consisted of software license revenue
increases of $17.1 million or 90% and professional services revenue increases of
$6.7 million or 83%.
The 90% increase in software license revenues was primarily attributable to
the expanding sales volumes of our three complementary packaged application
products, higher deployment license revenues and to a lesser extent, product
pricing increases that were effective October 1, 1998. Application
license-related revenues for our three complementary products increased to $10.2
million in 1998 as compared to $2.4 million in 1997. Deployment-related license
revenues increased to $14.8 million in 1998 as compared to $8.1 million in 1997.
During the year ended December 31, 1998, we licensed approximately 94 new
end-user customers and 27 new partners, which compares with approximately 70 new
end-user customers and 34 new partners for the year ended December 31, 1997. As
of December 31, 1998, we had a total installed license base of over 195 end-user
customers and 75 partners, which compares with over 105 end-user customers and
48 partners as of December 31, 1997.
The 83% increase in professional services revenue results from a higher
level of consulting related services associated with increased business volumes
and higher levels of customer support revenues derived from a larger installed
customer base. Maintenance revenues were $5.1 million in 1998 as compared to
$2.1 million in 1997.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of license revenues includes royalties payable to third parties for
software that is either embedded in, or bundled and sold with, our products;
commissioned agent fees paid to distributors; and the costs of product media,
duplication, packaging and other associated manufacturing costs.Cost of license revenues includes the costs of product media, duplication,
packaging and other manufacturing costs as well as royalties payable to third
parties for software that is either embedded in, or bundled and sold with, our
products. Cost of services consists primarily of employee-related costs,
third-party consultant fees incurred on consulting projects, post-contract
customer support and instructional training services.

2000 versus 1999
For the year ended December 31, 2000, cost of license revenues increased
$4.1 million or 111% on a year-over-year basis. Cost of software licenses as a
percent of license revenues was 3% in 2000 as compared to 5% in 1999. Cost of
services revenues during 2000 increased $92.7 million or 369% on a
year-over-year basis. Cost of services as a percent of services revenues was 72%
in 2000 as compared to 63% in 1999.
In absolute dollar terms, the increase in cost of software licenses was
principally a result of increased sales of our products and of royalty-bearing
third party products. In relative percentage terms, cost of software licenses
decreased principally as a result of renegotiating the royalty provisions of
agreements with software suppliers from per copy royalties to fixed fee prepaid
license fees.
20
The increase in cost of services revenues in absolute dollar terms
during 2000 as compared to 1999 is a result of higher business volumes as
evidenced by increased services revenues. The increase in cost of services as
a percentage of revenues can primarily be attributed to an increase in
personnel who do not generate revenue during their initial training period.
Total employees in global services and client support were 1,135 as of
December 31, 2000 as compared to 246 as of December 31, 1999. This includes
employees added as a result of the Interleaf acquisition. In addition, we
increased our use of outside consultants from the prior year in order to meet
our short-term demands.
1999 versus 1998
For the year ended December 31, 1999, cost of license revenues increased
$2.7 million or 270% on a year-over-year basis. Cost of software licenses as a
percent of license revenues was 5% in 1999 as compared to 3% in 1998. Cost of
services revenues during 1999 increased $16.4 million or 188% on a
year-over-year basis. Cost of services as a percent of services revenues was 63%
in 1999 as compared to 59% in 1998.
The increase in cost of license revenues, in both absolute dollar and
relative percentage terms, was principally a result of the higher mix of third
party software bundled and sold with our products and the related third party
royalty fees payable on those sales. Third party royalty costs relative to
license revenues have been offset to some extent as a result of our
renegotiating previously existing percentage-based royalty arrangements into
prepaid fixed fee royalties for periods extending through 2004.
The increase in cost of services revenues in absolute dollar terms during
1999 as compared to 1998 iswas a result of higher business volumes as evidenced by
increased services revenues. Overall costs increased as a result of additions to
our professional services staff and the employment of outside consultants to
meet short-term consulting demands. The increase in cost of services as a
percentage of services revenues iswas a result of the assimilation of new
professional consultants added to the group during the year and higher use of
outside consultants in relation to the extent previously used during the prior
year period.
1998 versus 1997
For the year ended December 31, 1998, cost of license revenues decreased
$663,000 or 40% on a year-over-year basis. Cost of software licenses as a
percent of license revenues was 3% in 1998 as compared to 9% in 1997. Cost of
services revenues during 1998 increased $4.4 million or 103% on a year-over-year
basis. Cost of services as a percent of services revenues was 59% in 1998 as
compared to 53% in 1997.
The decrease in cost of license revenues, in both absolute dollar and
relative percentage terms, was principally a result of lower commissioned agent
fees and third party royalty rates. We continued to expand our in-house sales
force capabilities and during 1998 direct sales were higher and commissioned
agent sales were lower relative to 1997. In addition, royalty costs relative to
total license revenues decreased as a result of our renegotiating a previously
existing percentage based royalty arrangement into a prepaid fixed fee royalty
for a period through 2001.
The increase in cost of services revenues in absolute dollar terms during
1998 as compared to 1997 is a result of expanded business volumes as evidenced
by increased services revenues. Overall costs increased as a result of additions
to our professional services staff and the employment of outside consultants to
meet short-term consulting demands. The increase in cost of services as a
percentage of services revenues is a result of higher use of
outside consultants in relation to the extent previously used during the prior
year period.
Operating Expenses and Other Income, net
Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries,
employee-related benefit costs and consulting fees incurred in association with
the development of our products.
Costs incurred for the research and development of new software products
are expensed as incurred until the time that technological feasibility, in the
form of a working model, is established, at which point these costs are
capitalized subject to recoverability. The costs we have incurred subsequent to
the establishment of a working model but prior to general release have not been
significant. To date, we have not capitalized any software development costs.
26
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries,
employee-related benefit costs, commissions and other incentive compensation,
travel and entertainment and marketing-related expenditures such as collateral
materials, trade shows, public relations and creative services.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries,
employee-related benefit costs and professional service fees.
A summary of operating expenses is set forth in the following table. The
percentage of expenses is calculated based on total revenues.

2000 versus 1999
Research and development expenses for the year were $51.6 million in
2000 as compared to $14.6 million in 1999 which represents an increase of
253% year-over-year. Sales and marketing expenses for the year were $167.4
million in 2000 as compared to $48.9 million in 1999 which represents an
increase of 242% year-over-year. General and administrative expenses for the
year were $28.2 million in 2000 as compared to $8.0 million in 1999 which
represents an increase of 253% year-over-year. Interest income for the year
was $16.7 million in 2000 as compared to $5.1 million in 1999 that represents
an increase of 227% year-over-year. Net other income (expense) for the year
was $1.5 million in 2000 as compared to $(599,000) in 1999 that represents an
increase of 350% year-over-year.
The increase in research and development expenses is primarily
attributable to personnel costs for added headcount within those operations
involved in the enhancement of existing applications and the development of
our next generation of products. We added personnel and a development
facility in Waltham, Massachusetts in conjunction with the Interleaf
acquisition. The increases in sales and marketing expenses reflects the cost
of hiring additional sales and marketing personnel including sales
commissions, the continued development of sales distribution channels and the
expansion of promotional activities and marketing-related programs. The
increase in general and administrative expenses is attributable to additional
administrative and management personnel, higher professional fees, increase
in bad debt reserve as a result of an increase in accounts receivable due to
our rapid growth, and additional infrastructure to support the expansion of
our operations. The increase in interest income is attributable to a higher
level of investment income during the year as a result of an increase in
investments and cash in interest bearing accounts. The increase in other
income, net is primarily a result of realized gains on the sale of
investments partially offset by realized losses on investments due to
impairment as well as interest expense.
Amortization of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Our acquisition of Interleaf was accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting. Accordingly, we recorded goodwill and other intangible
assets representing the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value
of net assets acquired of approximately $1.9 million. Gross goodwill recorded
as a result of the acquisition was $765.8 million. The aggregate amortization
of goodwill and other intangible assets related to the Interleaf acquisition
was $187.6 million in fiscal 2000. The goodwill and other intangible assets
are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of
three years and will amount to $264.9 million in 2001, $264.9 million in 2002
and $77.3 million in 2003. It is possible that we may continue to expand our
business through acquisitions and internal development. Any additional
acquisitions or impairment of goodwill and other purchased intangibles could
result in additional merger and acquisition related costs.
On November 24, 1999, the Company acquired all of the registered shares
of Fidutec Information Technology SA for a cash payment of 6,000,000 Swiss
Francs (equivalent U.S. dollar value of $3,765,000, net of cash acquired); of
which 1,200,000 Swiss Francs are held in escrow, subject to employee
retention conditions lasting 12 to 24 months depending on named employees.
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The acquired assets and
assumed liabilities, and the related results of operations, are included in
the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date of
acquisition. The name of the acquired business has been subsequently changed
to BroadVision Professional Services. Amortization of goodwill was
approximately $200,000 in fiscal 2000.
Charge for Acquired In-Process Technology
In connection with the Interleaf acquisition, we recorded a charge of
$10.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 for acquired in-process
technology that had not reached technological feasibility. Based upon our
estimates prepared in conjunction with a third-party valuation consultant,
$10.1 million was allocated to Acquired In-Process Technology and $796.0
million was allocated to goodwill and intangible assets. The amounts
allocated to intangible assets include completed technologies of $20.4
million and assembled workforces of $8.5 million. We used the cost approach
to estimate the value of the assembled workforce and the income approach to
estimate the value of the business and technology projects acquired. The
income approach takes into consideration the expected future cash flows
attributable to the technology projects and discounts these cash flows to
present value at a rate that appropriately reflects their risk. The value
assigned to in-process technology was the amount attributable to the efforts
of Interleaf up to the time of acquisition. This amount was estimated through
application of the "stage of completion" calculation by multiplying the
estimated present value of future cash flows, excluding costs of completion,
by the percentage of completion of the purchased technology projects at the
time of acquisition. Based upon these estimates, material net cash flows from
the acquired business are expected to occur during the calendar year 2000.
The cash flows for the completed and in-process technologies were discounted
using discount rates of 15% to 35%.
The fair market value of the technologies acquired have been grouped in
three classifications. Completed Technology represents technology that has
successfully completed final Beta test. In-Process Technology represents
technology that, as of the valuation date, has not yet entered Beta test or has
commenced but not yet successfully completed final Beta test and has no
alternative future use. Core Technology is technology that is being used in not
only the current products and in-process technology projects, but also in
future, not yet defined projects. Completed technologies are defined as those
that have reached technological feasibility. The Company defines technological
feasibility as the point at which the technologies have successfully completed
Beta test.
22
The Completed Technologies include projects that enable companies to
create, manage and deliver e-content for web enabled applications, using XML as
its technology backbone and Microsoft Word for content creation. These projects
also enable companies to manage XML and non-XML documents throughout their
lifecycle in one integrated system.
The In-Process Technologies include a project to develop a version of
current software which will run on a Unix-based operating system. As of the
valuation date, the development of this project was approximately 34%
complete and there was significant technological risk remaining. The value
attributed to this project was $1.3 million. The application from this
project has been integrated into our products. The efforts required to
complete the acquired in-process technology included the completion of all
planning, designing and testing activities that were necessary to establish
that the product can be produced to meet its design requirements, including
functions, features and technical performance requirements. The costs to
complete this project were included in the year ending December 31, 2000 and
there are no expected remaining costs. Another In-Process Technology project
is an upgrade to an existing product that will take into account new W3C
standards being developed for XML and will provide the capability for a user
to author and create documents for a specific output device. As of the
valuation date, this project was approximately 6% complete. The value
attributed to this project was $300,000. This project was subsequently
canceled and the project has no future alternative use. Costs incurred to
complete this project were not material. A third In-Process Technology
project is being developed to provide a new, cost-effective means for a
website to deliver content both to full-function personal computers and to
reduced-function devices such as wireless telephones and wireless personal
digital assistants. As of the valuation date, this project was approximately
57% complete. The value attributed to this project was $8.5 million. The
application from this project has been integrated into our products. The
efforts required to complete the acquired in-process technology included the
completion of all planning, designing and testing activities that were
necessary to establish that the product can be produced to meet its design
requirements, including functions, features and technical performance
requirements. The costs to complete this project were included in the year
ending December 31, 2000 and there are no expected remaining costs.
Core Technology encompasses both leveraged code and general technological
know-how, experience and expertise regarding the design, manufacture and
development of content management technology in existing products. It is
therefore not appropriate to consider the value of the Core Technology to be
part of the estimated value of In-Process Technology. Thus, the value of the
In-Process Technology has been isolated by allocating a portion of the cash flow
to this Core Technology that gives full recognition to its contribution.
As noted above, the income forecast method was used to value the
business and technology projects acquired. The value of the acquired
In-Process Technology and the Completed Technologies was estimated by
discounting to present value the free cash flows generated by the products
with which the technologies are associated over the remaining economic lives
of the technologies. Discount rates used ranged from 15% to 35% and were
based upon the relative risk associated with the completed technologies and
the incomplete development projects and upon considerations such as stage of
completion, remaining development milestones, technological uncertainties and
projected cost to complete. We believe that these discount rates are
consistent with the overall costs of capital and the relative risks of the
completed technologies and the research and development project. We have
valued the In-Process Technology using the "Percentage Completion Approach"
as suggested by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. This approach
varies from the traditional discounted cash flow approach that is used to
value In-Process Technology. The Percentage Completion Approach does not
include completion costs in the discounted cash flow analysis and the present
value of future cash flows is multiplied by the estimated percentage complete
as of the valuation date to determine the value of the acquired In-Process
Technology.
The cost approach was utilized to value the assembled workforce. This
approach considers the concept of avoided costs as an indicator of value and is
an appropriate method for estimating the fair market value of an asset where
reliable data for sales of comparable property are not available and where the
property does not directly produce an income stream. The basis of the valuation
is the estimated cost to recruit and train the new work force.
As part of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and the closing compilation
documents, Non-Compete Agreements (the "Agreements") were executed with certain
Interleaf employees. No value of the aggregate purchase price was allocated to
the Agreements based upon numerous facts and circumstances such as the
likelihood of employees leaving BroadVision and the effect on our performance
these employees would have should they leave the Company and were not barred
from competing.
1999 versus 1998
Research and development expenses for the year were $14.6 million in 1999
as compared to $9.2 million in 1998 which represents an increase of 58%
year-over-year. Sales and marketing expenses for the year were $48.9 million in
1999 as compared to $26.3 million in 1998 which represents an increase of 86%
year-over-year. General and administrative expenses for the year were $8.0
million in 1999 as compared to $3.8 million in 1998 which represents an increase
of 111% year-over-year. Net other income for the year was $4.5 million in 1999
as compared to $2.0 million in 1998 thatwhich represents an increase of 123%
year-over-year.
The increase in research and development expenses iswas primarily
attributable to personnel costs for added headcount within those operations
involved in the enhancement of existing applications and the development of our
23
next generation of products. The increases in sales and marketing expenses
reflects the cost of hiring additional sales and marketing personnel, the
continued development of sales distribution channels and the expansion of
promotional activities and marketing-related programs. In addition, commission
rates were higher during 1999 as result of sales people exceeding their sales
quotas. The increase in general and administrative expenses is attributable to
additional administrative and management personnel, higher professional fees and
additional infrastructure to support the expansion of our operations. The
increase in net other income is attributable to a higher level of investment
income during the year as a result of earnings on proceeds received from a
follow-on public stock offering in November 1999.
1998 versus 1997
Research and development expenses forIncome Taxes
For the year were $9.2ended December 31, 2000, we recorded an income tax
provision of $23.0 million in 1998 as
comparedconsisting of current expense of $28.6 million and
deferred tax benefit of $5.6 million relating to $7.4 million in 1997 which represents an increase of 25%
year-over-year. Salesfederal, state and marketing expenses for the year were $26.3 million in
1998 as compared to $18.4 million in 1997 which represents an increase of 43%
year-over-year. General and administrative expenses for the year were $3.8
million in 1998 as compared to $3.0 million in 1997 which represents an increase
of 27% year-over-year. Net otherforeign
income for the year was $2.0 million in 1998 as
compared to $265,000 in 1997 that represents an increase of 668% year-over-year.
The increase in research and development expenses is primarily attributable
to personnel costs for added headcount within those operations involved in the
enhancement of existing applications and the development of our next generation
of products. The increases in sales and marketing expenses reflects the cost of
hiring additional sales and marketing personnel, the continued development of
sales distribution channels and the expansion of promotional activities and
marketing-related programs. In addition, commission rates were higher during
1998 as result of sales people exceeding their sales quotas. The increase in
general and administrative expenses in absolute dollar terms is attributable to
additional administrative and management personnel, higher professional fees and
27
additional infrastructure to support the expansion of our operations. The
increase in net other income is attributable to a higher level of investment
income during the year as a result of earnings on proceeds received from a
follow-on public stock offering in March 1998.
Income Taxestaxes. For the year ended December 31, 1999, we recorded an income tax
provision of $996,000 consisting solely of current expense relating to
federal and foreign income taxes. For the year ended December 31, 1998, we
recorded a net income tax benefit of $79,000, comprised of a deferred tax
benefit of $700,000 and current tax expense of $621,000.
We recorded currentThe effective tax expense during 1998 primarily
related to foreign withholdingrate includes the write-off of acquired in-process
technology and alternative minimum taxes. During 1997, we
generated pre-tax lossesamortization of $7.4 million.Goodwill and other intangibles of
approximately $197.8 million for 2000. The effective tax rate after this
adjustment is 39%. The effective tax rates were 5% for 1999 and 0 for 1998.

As of December 31, 1999, the Company has provided a valuation allowance for a
significant portion of its deferred tax assets. The total valuation allowance
increased $15.4 million from December 31, 1998 to December 31, 1999.
Approximately $15.1 million of the valuation allowance, relating to income tax
benefits arising from the exercise of stock options, will be credited directly
to stockholders' equity and will not be available to benefit the income tax
provision in any future periods. In 1998, as a result of the intraperiod income
tax allocation provisions of SFAS No. 109, the deferred tax liability related to
the unrealized gain on marketable securities decreased the valuation allowance
for the deferred tax assets and was not charged to accumulated other
comprehensive income in stockholders' equity for that period.
As of December 31, 1999, the Company had federal and state net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $47.2 million and $17.0 million, respectively,
available to offset future regular and alternative minimum taxable income. In
addition, the Company had federal and state research and development credit
carryforwards of approximately $3.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively,
available to offset future tax liabilities. The Company's federal net operating
loss and tax credit carryforwards expire in the years 2010 through 2019, if not
utilized. The state net operating loss carryforwards expire in the years 2000,
through 2019. The state research and development credits can be carried forward
indefinitely. As of December 31, 1999, the Company's foreign subsidiaries had
net operating loss carryforwards in foreign jurisdictions of approximately $4.2
million that can be used to offset future foreign income. Of these losses,
approximately $1.7 million expires in the years 2000 through 2003. Approximately
$2.5 million of these losses can be carried forward indefinitely. Federal and
state tax laws limit the use of net operating loss carryforwards in certain
situations where changes occur in the stock ownership of a company. The Company
believes such an ownership change, as defined, may have occurred and,
accordingly, certain of the Company's federal and state net operating loss
carryforwards may be limited in their annual usage.

capital commitments other than obligations under equipment and operating leases
and $5.9$4.9 million of
outstanding term debt under our existing credit facility with our commercial
bank.
We have funded our operations by cash generated from operations and public
offerings of our common stock. Public stock offerings during June 1996, March
1998 and November 1999 netted for us proceeds of $20.7 million, $53.7 million
and $210.4 million, respectively. Cash provided by operating activities was
$55.3 million for the year
24
ended December 31, 2000, $33.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1999
and $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. Operating activities
consisted primarily of the net operating income for the year after adding
back various non-cash items such as amortization of goodwill and other
intangibles and charge for acquired in-process technology and depreciation,
increase in accounts payable and other accrued expenses, increase in unearned
revenue and deferred maintenance, all partially offset by increases in
accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets. Cash used for

year ended December 31, 1998, and $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1997.1998. Investing activities consisted primarily of
capital expenditures and the acquisition of strategic investments. We expect
that our capital expenditures will continue to increase in the future. We
currently estimate that planned capital expenditures for fiscal 2001 will be
approximately $32.0 million. We plan to fund these capital expenditures from
cash provided by operations. Cash provided by financing activities was $38.9
million for the year ended December 31, 2000, $223.2 million for the year
ended December 31, 1999 and $58.8 million for the year ended December 31,
1998 and $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1997.1998. Financing activities consisted primarily of proceeds from the issuance
of stockstock.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and our anticipated
cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and
operating resource expenditure requirements for at least the next year.
Thereafter, we may find it necessary to obtain additional equity or debt
financing. In the event additional financing is required, we may not be able to
raise it on acceptable terms or at all. We have various credit facilities with a
lesser extent, proceedscommercial lender which include term debt in the form of notes payable and a
revolving line of credit that provides for up to $10.0 million of additional
borrowings, based on eligible accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2000 and
1999, outstanding term debt borrowings were $4.9 million and $5.9 million,
respectively. As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, we had no outstanding borrowings
under our revolving line of credit. However, commitments totaling $2.4 million
and $2.8 million, in the form of standby letters of credit were issued under its
revolving line of credit facility as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively
(see Note 7). Commitments totaling $23.0 million in the form of standby letters
of credit were also issued from borrowings.

Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past and may
fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, many
of which are outside of our control. It is likely that our operating results in
one or more future quarters may be below the expectations of securities analysts
and investors. In that event, the trading price of theour common stock of BroadVision almost
certainly would decline.
3026
Factors that may affect our quarterly operating results include the
following:
o the timing of introductions or enhancements of our products and services
or our competitors;
o timing of receipt and fulfillment of significant orders;
o market acceptance of new products;
o the mix of products sold by us;
o changes in our pricing policies or our competitors;
o changes in our sales incentive plans;
o the budgeting cycles of our customers;
o customer order deferrals in anticipation of new products or enhancements
by us or our competitors;
o nonrenewal of our service agreements (which generally automatically renew
for one-year terms unless earlier terminated by either party upon 90-days
notice);
o product life cycles;
o changes in strategy;
o seasonal trends;
o the mix of distribution channels through which our products are sold;
o the mix of international and domestic sales;
o the rate at which new sales people become productive; and
o changes in the level of operating expenses to support projected growth.
In addition, we intend, in the near term to increase significantly our
personnel, including our domestic and international direct sales force. The
timing of this expansion and the rate at which new sales people become
productive could also cause our quarterly operating results to fluctuate. Due to
these and other factors, it is difficult for us to accurately forecast quarterly
revenues and operating results. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of
the company's operating results may not be meaningful and you should not rely
upon them as any indication of our future performance.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard, or SFAS, No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 137,
effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.
Accordingly, we will adoptadopted SFAS No. 133, as amended, beginning on January 1, 2001.
SFAS No. 133 establishes standards for the accounting and reporting of
derivative instruments and hedging activities, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts. Under SFAS No. 133, entities are
required to carry all derivative instruments at fair value on their balance
sheets. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of
a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies
as part of a hedging activity and the underlying purpose for it. We do not
believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have a significant impact on our
consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. In December 1998,June 2000, the FASB
issued Statement No. 138, Accounting Standards Executive Committeefor Certain Derivative Instruments and
Certain Hedging Activities. FASB Statement No. 138 addresses certain issues
related to the implementation of the AICPA
issued SOP 98-9 Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain
Transactions, which requires recognition of revenue using the "residual method"
in a multiple-element arrangement when fair valueSFAS No. 133, but does not exist for onechange the basic
model of SFAS No. 133 or morefurther delay the implementation of the delivered elements in the arrangement. Under the "residual method", the
total fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and subsequently
recognized in accordance with SOP 97-2. There was no material change to our
revenue accounting as a result of the provisions of SOP 98-9.SFAS No. 133.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission, ("SEC")or SEC, issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, ("or SAB 101"),101, Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and
disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB 101
outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides
guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. 31
We will adoptadopted SAB
101 effective April 1,during the fourth quarter of 2000, as required. We do not expect the
adoption of SAB 101 to have anyThere was no material effect
on our financial position or results of operations.operations as a result of the adoption
of SAB 101.
In March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 44, or FIN 44,
Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation-an
Interpretation of APB 25. This Interpretation clarifies (a) the definition of
employee for purposes of applying Opinion 25, (b) the criteria for determining
whether a plan qualifies as a non-compensatory plan, (c) the accounting
consequence of various modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock
option or award and (d) the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation
awards in a business combination. This Interpretation became effective July 1,
2000, but certain conclusions in this Interpretation cover specific events that
occur after either December 15, 1998 or January 12, 2000. However, before the
effective date of July 1, 2000, the effects of applying this Interpretation are
recognized on a prospective basis from July 1, 2000. We adopted FIN 44
27
in July,2000. There was no material effect on our financial position or results
of operations as a result of the adoption of FIN 44.
RISK FACTORS
The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing
us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we
currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. If any of the
following risks actually occur, our business could be harmed. In that event, the
trading price of our common stock could decline.
Risks related to our business
Fluctuations in BroadVision'sour quarterly operating results may cause BroadVision'sour stock price
to decline and make it difficult for BroadVisionus to forecast quarterly revenue and
operating results.
Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past fluctuated and may
fluctuate significantly in the future fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, many
of which are outside of our control. It is likely that our operating results in
one or more future quarters may be below the expectations of securities analysts
and investors. In that event, the trading price of theour common stock of BroadVision almost
certainly would decline.
Factors that may affect our quarterly operating results include the
following:
o the timing of introductions or enhancements of our

o timing of receipt and fulfillment of significant orders;
o market acceptance of new products;
o the mix of products sold by us;
o changes in our pricing policies by us or our competitors;
o changes in our sales incentive plans;
o the budgeting cycles of our customers;
o customer order deferrals in anticipation of new products
or enhancements by us or our competitors;competitors or because of
macro-economic conditions
o nonrenewal of BroadVision'sour service agreements, (whichwhich generally
automatically renew for one-year terms unless earlier
terminated by either party upon 90-days notice);notice;
o product life cycles;
o changes in strategy;
o seasonal trends;
o the mix of distribution channels through which our
products are sold;
o the mix of international and domestic sales;
o the rate at which new sales people become productive;
and
o changes in the level of operating expenses to support
projected growth.
Due to these and other factors, it is difficult to accurately forecast our
quarterly revenues and operating results. We believe that period-to-period
comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful and you should not
rely upon them as any indication of our future performance.
Our success is substantially dependent on revenues from our BroadVision
One-to-One Enterprise product suite and related services.
To date, substantially all of our revenues have been attributable to license
sales of the BroadVision One-To-One Enterprise product and related packaged
application products and associated services. We currently expect these products
and services to account for most of our future revenues. The inability of our
customers to successfully develop and deploy an online marketplace using
BroadVision One-To-One application products could damage our reputation
32
and cause a loss of customers. In addition, factors negatively affecting the
pricing of or demand for the BroadVision One-To-One application products, such
as increased competition or rapid technological change, could cause our revenues
to decline.
Our future financial performance is largely dependent on the successful
upgrading of our current products and introduction of new products.
Our future financial performance will depend, in significant part, on the
successful development and sale of new and enhanced versions of our BroadVision
One-To-One application products and other new products. We may be unable to
upgrade and continue to market the BroadVision One-To-One application products.
We may be unable to successfully develop new products and new products may not
achieve market acceptance.
28
Our sales may be subject to macro-economic conditions that could have an
effect on the willingness of our customers and prospects to make large capital
spending decisions.
The average size of transactions involving the licensing of our products
is over $400,000 and has increased over the last few years. The current
macro-economic forecast for the United States and some other countries indicate
an economic slowdown. Many customers and prospective customers have issued
public announcements regarding workforce reductions and spending controls in
response to this slowdown. Because of these corporate pronouncements and
economic conditions, our customers and prospects may defer large capital
spending decisions that, in turn, could result in shortfalls in our revenue and
operating result expectations.
Our lengthy sales and product implementation cycles could cause delays in
revenue recognition and make it difficult to predict the company'sours quarterly results.
Our sales and product implementation cycles are subject to delays over
which we have little or no control. These delays can affect the timing of
revenue recognition and make it difficult to predict our quarterly results.
Licensing the BroadVision One-to-One application products is often an
enterprise-wide decision by prospective customers. The importance of this
decision requires that we engage in a lengthy sales cycle with prospective
customers. During the sales process, we provide a significant level of education
regarding the uses and benefits of our products. Once the decision has been made
to implement our products, our customers or our Worldwide ProfessionalBroadVision Global Services Organization
consultants then must commit significant resources over an extended period of
time. Slowdowns in general economic conditions may result in decisions by
customers to defer decisions to purchase our products. Delays in license
transactions due to unusually lengthy sales cycles could cause our operating
results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter.
The market for our products and services is in its early stages of
development and may fail to mature into a sustainable market.
Our products and services facilitate online commerce and communication
over public and private networks. The market for these products and services is
in its early stages of development and is rapidly evolving. A viable market may
fail to emerge or be sustainable. We cannot predict the level of demand for and
market acceptance of our products and services, especially because acquisition
of our products and services requires a large capital or other significant
resource commitment. If the market for our products and services does not
continue to mature, we will be unable to execute successfully our business plan.
Adoption of electronic commerce and knowledge management, particularly by those
individuals and companies that have historically relied upon traditional means
of commerce and communication, will require a broad acceptance of new and
different methods of conducting business and exchanging information. Our future
revenues and profits will substantially depend on the Internet being accepted
and widely used for commerce and communication. If Internet commerce does not
continue to grow or grows more slowly than expected, our future revenues and
profits may not meet our expectations or those of analysts. In the emerging
marketplace of Internet commerce, our products and services involve a new
approach to the conduct of online business. As a result, intensive marketing and
sales efforts may be necessary to educate prospective customers regarding the
uses and benefits of our products and services, thereby generating demand.
Companies that have already invested substantial resources in other methods of
conducting business may be reluctant to adopt a new approach that may replace,
limit or compete with their existing systems. Similarly, purchasers with
established patterns of commerce may be reluctant to alter those patterns or may
otherwise resist providing the personal data necessary to support our consumer
profiling capability. In addition, the security and privacy concerns of existing
and potential online purchasers may inhibit the growth of online business
generally and the market's acceptance of our products and services in
particular. Accordingly, a viable market for our products and services may not
emerge or be sustainable.
A breachOur success is substantially dependent on revenues from our BroadVision
One-to-One Enterprise product suite and related services.
To date, substantially all of our revenues have been attributable to
license sales of the encryption technology that we useBroadVision One-To-One Enterprise product and related
packaged application products and associated services. We currently expect these
products and services to account for most of our future revenues. The inability
of our customers to successfully develop and deploy an online marketplace using
BroadVision One-To-One application products could expose the company to
liability and harmdamage our reputation causingand
cause a loss of customers. 33
If any breachIn addition, factors negatively affecting the pricing
of or demand for the security technology embedded in ourBroadVision One-To-One application products, were to
occur, we would be exposed to liability and our reputation could be harmed,
whichsuch as
increased competition or rapid technological change, could cause usour revenues to
lose customers. A significant barrier to online commerce
and communication is the secure exchange of valuable and confidential
information over public networks.decline.
29
We rely on encryption and authentication
technology, including public key cryptography technology licensed from RSA
Security Inc., to provide the security and authentication necessary to effect
the secure exchange of confidential information. Advances in computer
capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other events or
developments could cause a breach of the RSA or other algorithms that we use to
protect customer transaction data.
Our products are especially susceptible to product defects because they are
complex.
Sophisticated software products, like those sold by us, may contain
undetected errors that will not become apparent until after the products are
introduced or when the volume of provided services increases.
It is possible that, despite testing by us and our prospective customers,
errors will be found in our products. Product defects could result in all or any
of the following consequences to our business:
o loss of revenues;
o delay in market acceptance;
o diversion of development resources;
o damage to our reputation; or
o increased service and warranty costs.
We are continuing tohave substantially expandexpanded our business and operations and will need
to manage and support this expansion effectively in order for our business plan
to succeed.
We have substantially expanded our business and operations since itsour
inception in 1993. We expect1993; in particular, we grew from 652 employees at the end of
1999 to continue to experience periods2,412 employees at the end of rapid change.2000. If we are unable to support this
growth effectively, we willmay have to divert additional resources away from
executing our business plan and toward internal administration. Our past
expansion has placed and any future expansion is
expected to place, significant demands on our administrative, operational,
financial and other resources. We expect operating expenses and staffing levels
to increase substantially in the future. In particular, we intend to continue
hiring a significant number of additional personnel this year and in later
years. We also expect to expend resources on expanding accounting and internal
management systems and implementing a variety of new systems and procedures. If our revenues do not increase in proportion
to our operating expenses, our management systems do not expand to meet
increasing demands or the company'sour management otherwise fails to support itsour expansion
effectively, our business plan may not succeed.
We are dependent on direct sales personnel and third-party distribution
channels to achieve revenue growth.
To date, we have sold our products primarily through our direct sales
force. Our ability to achieve significant revenue growth in the future largely
will depend on our success in recruiting and training sufficient direct sales
personnel and establishing and maintaining relationships with distributors,
resellers and systems integrators. Our products and services require a
sophisticated sales effort targeted at the senior management of our prospective
customers. New hires as well as employees of our distributors, resellers and
systems integrators require training and take time to achieve full productivity.
Our recent hires may not become as productive as necessary, and we may be unable
to hire sufficient numbers of qualified individuals in the future. We have
entered into strategic alliance agreements with partners, including
Hewlett-Packard Company, Sema Group and Security First Network Bank, under which
these partners have agreed to resell and support
our current BroadVision One-to-One product suite. These contracts are generally
terminable by either party upon 30 days' notice of an uncured material breach.
Termination of the Hewlett-Packard Sema, Security First or other similar alliances could harm our
expected revenues. We may be unable to expand our other distribution channels,
and any expansion may not result in revenue increases. If we fail to expand our
direct sales force or other distribution channels, our revenues may not grow or
they may decline.
Our customers may rely on third-party systems integrators for the success
of online marketplaces.
34
Our current and prospective customers may rely on third-party systems
integrators to develop, deploy and manage online marketplaces. If we are unable
to adequately train these systems integrators who, as a result, ineffectively
assist customers with their online marketplaces, our reputation may be harmed
and itwe may lose customers. In addition, if for any reason a large number of
these integrators adopt a different product or technology instead of the
BroadVision One-To-One application products, sales of these products may not
grow or they may decline.
We are susceptible to numerous risks associated with international
operations.
Our international activities expose us to numerous additional risks. In
the year ended December 31, 1999,2000, approximately 31%32% of our revenues were derived
from sales outside of North America. We have tentwenty six offices in Europe and
Asia and one officetwo offices in Australia. A key component of our business strategy is
to expand our international activities.
Reflecting our commitment to a significant
international presence,As we listed our shares of common stock on the Neuer Markt
segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange beginning on November 3, 1999.
As We continue to expand internationally, we will be increasingly subject
to risks of doing business internationally, including:
o unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
o export controls relating to encryption technology and
other export restrictions; o tariffs and other trade
barriers;
o difficulties in staffing and managing foreign
operations;
o political and economic instability;
o fluctuations in currency exchange rates; o reduced
protection for intellectual property rights in some
countries;
o cultural barriers;
30
o seasonal reductions in business activity during the
summer months in Europe and certain other parts of the
world; and
o potentially adverse tax consequences.
Our international sales growth will be limited if we are unable to
establish additional foreign operations, expand international sales channel
management and support, hire additional personnel, customize products for local
markets and develop relationships with international service providers,
distributors and system integrators. Even if we are able to successfully expand
our international operations, we may not succeed in maintaining or expanding
international market demand for our products.
Our success and competitive positionproducts are especially susceptible to product defects because they
are complex.
Sophisticated software products, like those sold by us, may contain
undetected errors that will depend on our ability to
protect our proprietary technology.
It will be essential tonot become apparent until after the successproducts are
introduced or when the volume of our business that we adequately
protect our proprietary technology. Although we hold a U.S. patent, issued in
January 1998, on elements of the BroadVision One-To-One Enterprise product, this
patent may not provide an adequate level of intellectual property protection. We
also rely on copyright, trade secret and trademark laws to protect our
technology. We have registered "BroadVision" and "BroadVision One-To-One" as
trademarks in the United States.provided services increases. It is possible
that, despite testing by us and our competitors or other
companiesprospective customers, errors will adopt product names similar to these trademarks, impeding our
ability to build brand identity and possibly confusing customers. We provide our
products to end users generally under nonexclusive, nontransferable licenses
during the term of the relevant agreement, which is usuallybe found
in perpetuity. We
make the source code available for some portions of our products. We protect the
source code for our proprietary software both as a trade secret and as a
copyrighted work. However, disclosing the source code may increase the
likelihood of third-party misappropriation.
As a matter of company policy, We enter into confidentiality and assignment
agreements with our employees, consultants and vendors. We also control access
to and distribution of our software, documents and other proprietary
information. Notwithstanding these precautions, it may be possible for an
unauthorized third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our software or
other proprietary information or to develop similar software independently.
Policing unauthorized use of our products will be difficult, particularly
because the global nature of the Internet makes it difficult to control the
ultimate destination or security of software and other transmitted data. The
laws of other countries may afford us little or no effective protection of our
intellectual property. The steps we have taken to prevent
35
misappropriation of our technology, including entering into agreements for that
purpose, may be insufficient. In addition, litigation may be necessary in the
future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade
secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others
or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Litigation like this,
whether successful or unsuccessful,Product defects could result in substantial costsall or any of the following
consequences to our business:
o loss of revenues;
o delay in market acceptance;
o diversion of development resources;
o damage to our reputation; or
o increased service and diversionswarranty costs.
Because a significant portion of our management resources, eithersales activity occurs at the end of
whicheach fiscal quarter, delays in a relatively small number of license transactions
could harmadversely affect our business.
We will be subjectoperating results for the quarter.
Like most software companies, a significant proportion of our sales are
concentrated near the end of each fiscal quarter. Gross margins are high for our
license transactions. Customers and prospective customers are aware of these
facts and use these conditions in an attempt to claims of intellectual property infringement, which
could divert management resources, cause product delays or require that we enter
into licensing or royalty agreements.
Third parties may claim thatobtain concessions. While we
have infringed their patent, trademark,
copyright or other proprietary rights. It is also possibleconsistently avoided making concessions that claims will be
made for indemnification resulting from allegations of infringement. In
addition, intellectual property infringement claims may be asserted against us
as acould result ofin lower margins,
the use by us, our customers or other third parties of our
products for the transmission, dissemination or display of information on the
Internet. Any claims, with or without merit, could be time consuming, costly,
cause product shipment delays or require that we enter into royalty or licensing
agreements. These licenses might not be available on reasonable terms, or at
all.
The loss or malfunction of technology licensed from third parties could delay
the introduction of our products and services.
We relytactic often results in part on technology that we license from third parties, including
relational database management systems from Sybase, object request broker
software from IONA Technologies PLC, database access technology from Rogue Wave
Software Inc. and other software. We integrate or sublicenses this technology
with internally developed software to perform key functions. For example, our
products and services incorporate data encryption and authentication technology
licensed from RSA. Third-party technology licenses might not continue to be
available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Moreover, the
licensed technology may contain defects that we cannot control. The loss of any
of these technology licenses could cause delays in introducing our products or
services until equivalent technology, if available, is identified, licensed and
integrated. Delaysthe closing of license transactions. Small
delays in introducing our products and servicesa relatively small number of license deals could harm our
business.
Our executive officers, key employees and highly skilled technical and
managerial personnel are critical to our business, and they may not remain with
us in the future.
Our performance will substantially depend on the performance of our executive
officers and key employees. We also will relyhave a significant
impact on our ability to retain and
motivate qualified personnel, especially our management and highly skilled
development teams. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers or
key employees, particularly our founder and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Pehong
Chen, could cause us to incur increasedreported operating expenses and divert senior
management resources in searchingresults for replacements. The loss of their services
also could harm our reputation if our customers were to become concerned about
our future operations. We do not carry "key person" life insurance policies on
any of our employees. Our future success also depends on our continuing ability
to identify, hire, train and retain other highly qualified technical and
managerial personnel. Competition for these personnel is intense, especially in
the Internet industry. We have in the past experienced and will continue to
experience difficulty in hiring and retaining sufficient numbers of highly
skilled employees.that quarter.
Current and potential competitors could make it difficult for us to
acquire and retain customers now and in the future.
If we fail to compete successfully with current or future competitors, we
may lose market share. The market for e-business solutions is rapidly evolving
and intensely competitive. Our customers' requirements and the technology
available to satisfy those requirements will continually change. We expect
competition in this market to persist and increase in the future. Our primary
competition currently includes:
o in-house development efforts by prospective customers or
partners;
36
o other vendors of application software or application
development platforms and tools directed at interactive
commerce and financial services, such as Allaire, Ariba,
Art Technology Group Inc., Blue Martini, CommerceOne,
InterWorld Corporation, Open Market, Inc., Oracle,
Plumtree, Siebel and Vignette Corporation;
o Web content developers that develop custom software or
integrate other application software into custom
solutions;
o International Business Machines Corporation; and
o Microsoft Corporation.
The principal competitive factors affecting the market for our products
are:
o Depth and breadth of functionality offered;
o Ease of application development;
o Availability of knowledgeable developers;
o Time required for application development;
o Reliance on industry standards;
31
o Product reliability;
o Proven track record;
o Scalability;
o Maintainability;
o Personalization and other features;
o Product quality;
o Price; and
o Customer support.
Compared to us, many of these and other current and future competitors
have longer operating histories and significantly greater financial,
technical, marketing and other resources than those of us.resources. As a result, they may be able to
respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities, technologies and
customer requirements. Many of these companies also can use their greater
name recognition and more extensive customer base to gain market share at our
expense. Competitors may be able to undertake more extensive promotional
activities, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and offer more attractive
terms to purchasers. Current and potential competitors may bundle their
products to discourage users from purchasing our products. In addition,
competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among
themselves or with third parties to enhance their products. Accordingly, it
is possible that new competitors or alliances among competitors may emerge
and rapidly acquire significant market share. Competitive pressures may make
it difficult for us to acquire and retain customers and may require us to
reduce the price of our products. We may be unable to compete successfully
with current or new competitors.
Our success and competitive position will depend on our ability to
protect our proprietary technology.
Our success and ability to compete are dependent to a significant
degree on our proprietary technology. Although we hold a U.S patent, issued
in January 1998, on elements of the BroadVision One-To-One Enterprise
product, this patent may not provide an adequate level of intellectual
property protection. In addition, litigation like the lawsuit we filed
against Art Technology Group, which was settled in February 2000, may be
necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to
protect our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the
proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or
invalidity. We cannot guarantee that infringement or other claims will not be
asserted or prosecuted against us in the future, whether resulting from our
intellectual property or licenses from third parties. Claims or litigation,
whether successful or unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and
diversions of resources, either of which could harm our business.
We also rely on copyright, trademark, service mark, trade secret laws and
contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary rights in products and
services. We have registered "BroadVision" and "BroadVision One-To-One" as
trademarks in the United States and in other countries. It is possible that
our competitors or other companies will adopt product names similar to these
trademarks, impeding our ability to build brand identity and possibly
confusing customers.
As a matter of company policy, we enter into confidentiality and
assignment agreements with our employees, consultants and vendors. We also
control access to and distribution of our software, documents and other
proprietary information. Notwithstanding these precautions, it may be
possible for an unauthorized third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use
our software or other proprietary information or to develop similar software
independently. Policing unauthorized use of our products will be difficult,
particularly because the global nature of the Internet makes it difficult to
control the ultimate destination or security of software and other
transmitted data. The laws of other countries may afford us little or no
effective protection of our intellectual property.
A breach of the encryption technology that we use could expose the company
to liability and harm our reputation, causing a loss of customers.
If any breach of the security technology embedded in our products were to
occur, we would be exposed to liability and our reputation could be harmed,
which could cause us to lose customers. A significant barrier to online commerce
and communication is the secure exchange of valuable and confidential
information over public networks. We rely on encryption and authentication
technology, including public key cryptography technology licensed from RSA
Security Inc., to provide the security and authentication necessary to effect
the secure exchange of confidential information. Advances in computer
capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other events or
developments could cause a breach of the RSA or other algorithms that we use to
protect customer transaction data.
We could be subject to claims of intellectual property infringement, which
could divert management resources, cause product delays or require that we enter
into licensing or royalty agreements.
Third parties may claim that we have infringed their patent, trademark,
copyright or other proprietary rights. It is also possible that claims will be
made for indemnification resulting from allegations of infringement. In
addition, intellectual property infringement claims may be asserted against us
as a result of the use by us, our customers or other third parties of our
products for the transmission, dissemination or display of information on the
Internet. Any claims, with or without
32
merit, could be time consuming, costly, cause product shipment delays or require
that we enter into royalty or licensing agreements. These licenses might not be
available on reasonable terms, or at all.
The loss or malfunction of technology licensed from third parties could
delay the introduction of our products and services.
We rely in part on technology that we license from third parties,
including relational database management systems from Oracle, Sybase, and
Informix object request broker software from IONA Technologies PLC, database
access technology from Rogue Wave Software Inc. and other software. We
integrate or sublicense this technology with internally developed software to
perform key functions. For example, our products and services incorporate
data encryption and authentication technology licensed from RSA. Third-party
technology licenses might not continue to be available to us on commercially
reasonable terms, or at all. Moreover, the licensed technology may contain
defects that we cannot control. The loss of any of these technology licenses
could cause delays in introducing our products or services until equivalent
technology, if available, is identified, licensed and integrated. Delays in
introducing our products and services could harm our business.
Our executive officers, key employees and highly skilled technical and
managerial personnel are critical to our business, and they may not remain with
us in the future.
Our performance substantially depends on the performance of our
executive officers and key employees. We also rely on our ability to retain
and motivate qualified personnel, especially our management and highly
skilled development teams. The loss of the services of any of our executive
officers or key employees, particularly our founder and Chief Executive
Officer, Dr. Pehong Chen, could cause us to incur increased operating
expenses and divert senior management resources in searching for
replacements. The loss of their services also could harm our reputation if
our customers were to become concerned about our future operations. We do not
carry "key person" life insurance policies on any of our employees. Our
future success also depends on our continuing ability to identify, hire,
train and retain other highly qualified technical and managerial personnel.
Competition for these personnel is intense, especially in the Internet
industry. We have in the past experienced, and may continue to experience,
difficulty in hiring and retaining sufficient numbers of highly skilled
employees.
If we are unable to meet the rapid technological changes in online
commerce and communication, our products and services may fail to be
competitive.
Our products and services may fail to be competitive if we do not maintain
or exceed the pace of technological developments in Internet commerce and
communication. The information services, software and communications industries
are characterized by rapid technological change, changes in customer
requirements, frequent new product and service introductions and enhancements
and evolving industry standards and practices. The introduction of products and
services embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards
and practices can render existing products and services obsolete. Our future
success will depend, in part, on our ability to:
o develop leading technologies;
o enhance our existing products and services;
o develop new products and services that address the
increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our prospective
customers; and
o respond to technological advances and emerging industry
standards and practices on a timely and cost-effective basis.
Internet commerce technology is complex and new products and enhancements
can require long development periods. If we are unable to develop and introduce
new products and services or enhancements in a timely manner in response to
changing market conditions or customer requirements, or if new products and
services do not achieve market acceptance, our business may fail to be
competitive.
Limitations on the online collection of profile information could impair
the effectiveness of our products.
Online users' resistance to providing personal data and laws and
regulations prohibiting use of personal data gathered online without express
consent or requiring businesses to notify their Web site visitors of the
possible dissemination of their personal data could limit the effectiveness of
our products.
33
One of the principal features of the BroadVision One-To-One application
products is the ability to develop and maintain profiles of online users to
assist business managers in determining the nature of the content to be provided
to these online users. Typically, profile information is captured when
consumers, business customers and employees visit a Web site and volunteer
information in response to survey questions concerning their backgrounds,
interests and preferences. Profiles can be augmented over time through the
subsequent collection of usage data.
Although BroadVision One-To-One products are designed to enable the
development of applications that permit Web site visitors to prevent the
distribution of any of their personal data beyond that specific Web site,
privacy concerns may nevertheless cause visitors to resist providing the
personal data necessary to support this profiling capability. The mere
perception by prospective customers that substantial security and privacy
concerns exist among online users, whether or not valid, may indirectly
inhibit market acceptance of our products. In addition, new laws and
regulations could heighten privacy concerns by requiring businesses to notify
Web site users that the data captured from them while online may be used by
marketing entities to direct product messages to them.
WhileWe are subject to increasing regulation at the federal and state levels
relating to online privacy and the use of personal user information. Several
states have proposed legislation that would limit the uses of personal user
information gathered online or require online services to establish privacy
policies. In addition, bills pending in Congress would extend online privacy
protections to adults. Laws and regulations of this kind may include
requirements that we are not awareestablish procedures to disclose and notify users of
any lawsprivacy and security policies, obtain consent from users for collection and
use of information, or regulations like this currently in
effect or in developmentprovide users with the ability to access, correct and
delete personal information stored by us. Even in the United States, other countriesabsence of those
regulations, the Federal Trade Commission has settled several proceedings
resulting in consent decrees in which Internet companies have been required
to establish programs regarding the manner in which personal information is
collected from users and political
entities, including the European Unionprovided to third parties. We could become a party
to a similar enforcement proceeding. These regulatory and enforcement efforts
could also harm our member states, have adopted legal
requirements imposing restrictions on the collection, usecustomers' ability to collect demographic and processing of
personal
data. It is possible that similar legal requirementsinformation from users, which could be adopted
in the United States. If the privacy concerns of consumers are not adequately
addressed,impair the effectiveness of theour
BroadVision One-to-One application products
could be impaired.
If we are unable to meet the rapid technological changes in online commerce
and communication, our products and services may fail to be competitive.
Our products and services may fail to be competitive if we do not maintain or
exceed the pace of technological developments in Internet commerce and
communication. The information services, software and communications industries
are characterized by rapid technological change, changes in customer
requirements, frequent new product and service introductions and enhancements
and evolving industry standards and practices. The introduction of
37
products and services embodying new technologies and the emergence of new
industry standards and practices can render existing products and services
obsolete. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to:

New and existing laws could either directly restrict our business or
indirectly affect our business by limiting the growth of Internet commerce.
The adoption of any laws or regulations that restrict our methods of
doing business or limit the growth of the Internet could decrease demand for
our products and services and increase our cost of doing business. Today,
there are relatively few laws specifically directed towards online services.
However, due to the increasing popularity of the Internet generally and
Internet commerce specifically, we expect that federal, state or foreign
agencies will enact laws and regulations with respect to the Internet. These new
laws and regulations would be likely to address issues like online user privacy,
pricing, content and quality of products and services. If enacted, these laws
and regulations could limit the market for our products and services.
For example, because our products involve the solicitation of personal
data regarding individual consumers, our business could be limited by laws
regulating the solicitation, collection or processing of this data. The
Telecommunications Act of 1996 prohibits the transmission of some types of
information and content over the Internet. The prohibition's scope and the
liability associated with a Telecommunications Act violation are currently
unsettled. Legislation imposing potential liability upon us for information
carried on or disseminated through our products would likely cause the companyus to
implement costly measures to reduce our exposure to this liability or to
discontinue some of our services.
Our business could be harmed by the expense involved in reacting to actual
or potential liability associated with the Telecommunications Act or other
Internet-related laws and regulations. In addition, the increased attention
focused upon liability issues as a result of the Telecommunications Act could
limit the growth of Internet commerce, which could decrease demand for our
products.
The United States government regulates the export of technology, including
encryption technology, which our products incorporate. Export regulations,
either in their current form or as may be subsequently enacted, may limit our
ability to distribute our software outside the United States. Any revocation or
modification of our export authority or adoption of new laws or regulations
relating to the export of software and encryption technology could limit our
international operations. The unlawful export of our software could also harm
our reputation. Although we take precautions against unlawful export of their
software, the global nature of the Internet makes it difficult to effectively
control the distribution of software.
34
The imposition of sales and other taxes on products sold by our customers
over the Internet could have a negative effect on online commerce and, as a
result, on demand for our products.
The imposition of new sales or other taxes could limit the growth of
Internet commerce generally and, as a result, the demand for our products.
Recent federal legislation limits the imposition of state and local taxes on
Internet-related sales. In 1998, Congress passed the Internet Tax Freedom Act,
which places a three-year moratorium on state and local taxes on:
38
o Internet access, unless the tax was already imposed prior to October
1, 1998; and
o discriminatory taxes on electronic commerce.
There is a possibility that Congress may not renew this legislation in
2001. If Congress chooses not to renew this legislation, state and local
governments would be free to impose taxes on electronically purchased goods.
We believesbelieve that, in accordance with current industry practice, most
companies that sell products over the Internet do not currently collect sales or
other taxes on shipments of their products into states or foreign countries
where they are not physically present. However, one or more states or foreign
countries may seek to impose sales or other tax collection obligation on
out-of-jurisdiction companies that engage in electronic commerce.
A successful assertion by one or more states or foreign countries that
companies engaged in electronic commerce should collect sales or other taxes on
the sale of their products over the Internet, even though not physically present
in the state or foreign country, could indirectly reduce demand for our
products.
Our stock price has been and is likely to continue to be highly volatile.
The trading price of our common stock has been and is likely to continue
to be highly volatile. Our stock price is subject to wide fluctuations in
response to a variety of factors, including:
o quarterly variations in operating results;
o announcements of technological innovations;
o announcements of new software or services by us or our competitors;
o changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; or
o other events or factors that are beyond our control.
In addition, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume
fluctuations that have particularly affected the trading prices of equity
securities of many high technology companies. These fluctuations have often been
unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies.
Any negative change in the public's perception of the prospects of
Internet or electronic commerce companies could depress our stock price
regardless of our results. Other broad market fluctuations may decrease the
trading price of our common stock. In the past, following declines in the market
price of a company's securities, securities class action litigation has often
been instituted against that company. Litigation could result in substantial
costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates
primarily to our investment portfolio. We had no derivative financial
instruments as of December 31, 19982000 and 1999. We place our investments in
instruments that meet high credit quality standards and the amount of credit
exposure to any one issue, issuer and type of instrument is limited. We do not
expect any material loss with respect to our investment portfolio.
Our financial instrument holdings as of December 31, 19992000 were analyzed to
determine their sensitivity to interest rate changes. In our sensitivity
analysis, we assumed an adverse change in interest rates of 500 basis points and
the expected effect on net income was insignificant.
3935
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all debt securities with remaining maturities of three
months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Our cash and
cash equivalents consisted of the following (in thousands):

======== ========
Short-term Investments
Our short-term investments consist of marketable equity and debt
securities that are classified as available-for-sale. Our investment in
marketable equity securities is carried at fair value with related unrealized
gains or losses reported as other comprehensive income, net of tax. As of
December 31, 2000, our investment in marketable equity securities had a fair
value of $3.1 million and a cost basis of $5.0 million. Our debt securities
are carried at fair value. As of December 31, 2000, commercial paper
investments consisted of $11.0 million, corporate notes/bonds of $16.9
million and government bonds/notes of $38.4 million. Short-term investments,
excluding marketable equity securities, had a weighted average remaining
maturity as of December 31, 2000 of approximately three months. Total
short-term investment unrealized losses, net, were $26.0 million, net of tax,
for the year ended December 31, 2000. Total realized gains during fiscal 2000
were $3.6 million and are included in other income in the accompanying
statement of operations.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial assets that potentially subject us to significant concentrations
of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, short-term
investments, and trade accounts receivable. We maintain our cash and cash
equivalents and short-term investments with over ten separate financial
institutions. We market and sell our products throughout the world and perform
ongoing credit evaluations of our customers. We generally do not require
collateral on accounts receivable as the majority of our customers are large,
well-established companies. We maintain reserves for potential credit losses but
historically have not experienced any significant losses related to individual
customers or groups of customers in any particular industry or geographic area.
For the year ended December 31, 2000 no one customer accounted for more than 10%
of fiscal year 2000 total revenue. As of December 31, 2000, two customers
individually accounted for more than 10% of our accounts receivable. These
customers accounted for 10% and 11% of accounts receivable, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, short-term
investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. We do not have any
derivative financial instruments. We believe the reported carrying amounts of
our financial instruments approximates fair value, based upon the short maturity
of cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable and payable,
and based on the current rates available to us on similar debt issues.
Long-term Investments
Included in the our long-term investments are investments in debt
securities that are classified as available-for-sale. These securities have
remaining maturities greater than one year from December 31, 2000. These
investments are carried at fair value with related unrealized gains or losses
reported as other comprehensive income, net of tax. As of December 31, 2000, our
long-term investments in debt securities had a fair value of $34.3 million in
corporate bonds/notes and $44.6 million in government bonds/notes. The remaining
weighted average days to maturity as of December 31, 2000 was approximately
twenty three months.
Also included in our long-term investments are equity investments in
public and non-public companies that are accounted for under either the cost
method of accounting or the equity method of accounting. Equity investments
are accounted for under the cost method of accounting when we have a minority
interest and do not have the ability to exercise significant influence. These
investments are classified as available for sale and are carried at fair
36
value when readily determinable market values exist or at cost when such
market values do not exist. Adjustments to fair value are recorded as a
component of other comprehensive income unless the investments are considered
permanently impaired in which case the adjustment is recorded as a component
of other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations.
Equity investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting
when we have a minority interest and have the ability to exercise significant
influence. These investments are classified as available for sale and are
carried at cost with periodic adjustments to carrying value for our equity in
net income (loss) of the equity investee. Such adjustments are recorded as a
component of other income, net. Any decline in value of our investments,
which is other than a temporary decline, is charged to earnings during the
period in which the impairment occurs.
The total fair value of our cost method long-term equity investments in
public and non-public companies was $19.4 million with a cost basis of $27.3
million. This includes a $750,000 write down of an investment due to an other
than temporary decline in fair value. There was also an additional $250,000
write down of an investment due to an other than temporary decline in fair
value. The total unrealized loss, net, during the year ended December 31,
2000 in our cost method long-term investments was $4.3 million, net of tax.
The total fair value of our equity method long-term investment was $4.4
million as of December 31, 2000. This includes $600,000 of equity in net
losses realized during the twelve months ended December 31, 2000. The equity
in net losses realized is recorded as a component of other income, net in the
accompanying statement of operations.

BROADVISION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 19992000
Note 1 -- Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business
BroadVision, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the "Company") was
incorporated in the state of Delaware on May 13, 1993. The Company develops markets and
supportssells an integrated suite of packaged applications for conducting e-business

by over 190 partner organizations worldwide, transform these applications into
business value for BroadVision's customers through consulting, education, and
support services in more than 34 countries.
Acquisition
On April 14, 2000, the Company completed its acquisition of Interleaf, Inc. and
its subsidiaries ("Interleaf") pursuant to a statutory merger involving a
stock-for-stock exchange. The BroadVision One-To-One product suite empowers businessesacquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The
acquired assets and assumed liabilities, and the related results of operations,
are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the
date of acquisition. Net assets were recorded at fair value at the acquisition
date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets
acquired is included in goodwill and other intangible assets in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet. Amounts allocated to uniquely tailor Web site content toin-process technology were
expensed in the needs and interests of individual users
by personalizing each constituent's visit on a real-time interactive basis. The
Company's applications accomplish this by interactively capturing Web site
visitor profile information and targeting organized content of an enterprise to
each visitor based on easily constructed business rules.period in which the acquisition was consummated; see Note 2.
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation
of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain
assumptions and estimates that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities
as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in accordance with Statement of
Position ("SOP") 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended.amended and SOP 98-9,
Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions. In general,
software license revenues are recognized when a non-cancelable license agreement
has been signed and the customer acknowledges an unconditional obligation to
pay, the software product has been delivered, there are no uncertainties
surrounding product acceptance, the fees are fixed and determinable, and
collection is considered probable; professional services revenues are recognized
as such services are performed; and maintenance revenues or post-contract
support ("PCS"), including revenues bundled with software agreements which
entitle the customers to technical support and future unspecified enhancements
to the Company's products, are deferred and recognized ratably over the related
contract period, generally twelve months. Revenues recognized from
multiple-element software arrangements are allocated to each element of the
arrangement based on the fair values of the elements, such as software products,
upgrades, enhancements, post contract customer support, installation, or training. The determination of
fair value is based on objective evidence which is specific to the Company. If
evidence of fair value does not exist for all elements of a license agreement
and PCS is the only undelivered element, then all revenue for the license
arrangement is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement as license
revenue. If evidence of fair value of all undelivered elements exists but
evidence does not exist for one or more delivered elements, then revenue is
recognized using the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value
of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the
arrangement fee is recognized as revenue.
The Company records unearned revenue for software arrangements when cash
has been received from the customer and the arrangement does not qualify for
revenue recognition under the Company's revenue recognition policy. The Company
records accounts receivable for software arrangements when the arrangement
qualifies for revenue recognition and cash or other consideration has not been
received from the customer.
In December 1998, AcSEC1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
SOP 98-9 Software Revenue Recognition, With
Respect to Certain Transactions,Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), REVENUE RECOGNITION IN
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, which requiresprovides guidance on the recognition presentation
and disclosure of revenue usingin financial statements filed with the "residual method" in a multiple-element arrangement when fair value does not
existSEC. SAB 101
outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and
provides guidance for one or moredisclosure related to revenue recognition policies. The
Company adopted SAB 101 during the fourth quarter of the delivered elements in the arrangement. Under the
"residual method", the total fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred
and subsequently recognized in accordance with SOP 97-2.2000, as required. There
was no material change toeffect on the Company's accountingfinancial position, results of
operations, or cash flows.
Cost of software licenses includes the costs of product media,
duplication, packaging and other manufacturing costs as well as royalties
payable to third parties for revenues as a resultsoftware that is either embedded in, or bundled
and sold with, the Company's products. Cost of the provisionsservices consists primarily of
SOP 98-9.
46employee-related costs, third-party consultant fees incurred on consulting
projects, PCS and instructional training services.

Research and Development and Software Development Costs
Under the criteria set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 86, Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software to be
Sold, leasedLeased or Otherwise Marketed, development costs incurred in the research
and development of new software products are expensed as incurred until
technological feasibility in the form of a working model has been established at
which time such costs are capitalized, subject to recoverability. Products are
made available for limited release, concurrent with the achievement of
technological feasibility. Accordingly, software development costs incurred
subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility have not been
significant, and the Company has not capitalized any software development costs
to date.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense is
included in sales and marketing expense and amounted to $2.9 million, $1.8
million and $47,000 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Prepaid Royalties
Prepaid royalties relating to purchased software to be incorporated and
sold with the Company's software products are amortized as a cost of revenuesoftware
licenses either on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the royalty
agreement or on the basis of projected product revenues, whichever results in
greater amortization.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all debt securities with remaining maturities of
three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The
Company's cash equivalents consisted of the following (in thousands):

======== ========
Short-term Investments
The Company's short-term investments consist of marketable equity and
debt securities that are classified as available-for-sale. The Company's
investment in marketable equity securities is carried at fair value with
related unrealized gains or losses reported as other comprehensive income,
net of tax. As of December 31, 1999,2000, the Company's investment in marketable
equity securities had a fair value of $48,642,000$3.1 million and a cost basis of $5,348,000.$5.0
million. The Company's debt securities are carried at amortized cost which approximates fair value. As of
December 31, 1999, debt security2000, commercial paper investments consisted of $9,700,000 with
maturities$11.0 million,
corporate notes/bonds of $16.9 million and government bonds/notes of $38.4
million. Short-term investments, excluding marketable equity securities, had
a weighted average remaining maturity as of December 31, 2000 of
approximately onethree months. Total short-term investment unrealized losses,
net, were $26.0 million, net of tax, for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Total realized gains during fiscal 2000 were $3.6 million, and $10,416,000are included
in other income in the accompanying statement of mutual bond funds.operations.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial assets that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents,
short-term investments, and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains
its cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments with over ten
separate financial institutions. The Company markets and sells its products
throughout the world and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its
customers. The Company generally does not require collateral on accounts
receivable as the majority of its customers are large, well-established
companies. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses but
historically has not experienced any significant losses related to individual
customers or groups of customers in any particular industry or geographic

2000, two customers individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company's
accounts receivable. These customers accounted for 10% and 11% of accounts
receivable, respectively. No one customer accounted for more than 10% of the
Company's accounts receivable as of December 31, 1999.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash equivalents,
short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. The
Company does not have any derivative financial instruments. The Company believes
the reported carrying amounts of its financial instruments approximates fair
value, based upon the short 47
maturity of cash equivalents, short-term
investments, accounts receivable and payable, and based on the current rates
available to the Company on similar debt issues.
Long-term Investments
Included in the Company's long-term investments are investments in debt
securities that are classified as available-for-sale. These securities have
remaining maturities greater than one year from December 31, 2000. These
investments are carried at fair value with related unrealized gains or losses
reported as other comprehensive income, net of tax. As of December 31, 2000, the
Company's long-term investments in debt securities had a fair value of $34.3
million in corporate bonds/notes and $44.6 million in government bonds/notes.
The remaining weighted average days to maturity as of December 31, 2000 was
approximately twenty three months.
Also included in the Company's long-term investments are equity
investments in public and non-public companies that are accounted for under
either the cost method of accounting or the equity method of accounting.
Equity investments are accounted for under the cost method of accounting when
the Company has a minority interest and does not have the ability to exercise
significant influence. These investments are classified as available for sale
and are carried at fair value when readily determinable market values exist
or at cost when such market values do not exist. Adjustments to fair value
are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income unless the
investments are considered permanently impaired in which case the adjustment
is recorded as a component of other income (expense), net in the consolidated
statement of operations. Equity investments are accounted for under the
equity method of accounting when the Company has a minority interest and has
the ability to exercise significant influence. These investments are
classified as available for sale and are carried at cost with periodic
adjustments to carrying value for the Company's equity in net income (loss)
of the equity investee. Such adjustments are recorded as a component of other
income, net. Any decline in value of the Company's investments, which is
other than a temporary decline, is charged to earnings during the period in
which the impairment occurs.
The total fair value of the Company's cost method long-term equity
investments in public and non-public companies was $19.4 million with a cost
basis of $27.3 million. This includes a $750,000 write down of an investment
due to an other than temporary decline in fair value. There was also an
additional $250,000 write down of an investment due to an other than
temporary decline in fair value. The total unrealized loss, net, during the
year ended December 31, 2000 in the Company's cost method long-term
investments was $4.3 million, net of tax. The total fair value of the
Company's equity method long-term investment was $4.4 million as of December
31, 2000. This includes approximately $600,000 of equity in net losses
realized during the twelve months ended December 31, 2000. The equity in net
losses realized is recorded as a component of other income, net in the
accompanying statement of operations.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a
straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives (two to fiveeight years).
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the corresponding lease term or their
estimated useful lives, whichever is shorter.
TheValuation of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", the Company
periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles for impairment, wheneverwhen events or changes inand circumstances indicate
that the carrying amountbook value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets
is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net
cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered
to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by
which the carrying amount of the property and equipment exceeds its fair market
value. Long-term Investments
As of December 31, 1999, long-term investments consist of non-marketable
equity securities. As of December 31, 1998, long-term investments consist of
non-marketable equity securities and a marketable equity securities investment
(carrying value of $8,546,000).
The Company accounts for its non-marketable equity security investments based
on the cost method as the Company does notNo SFAS No. 121 impairment losses have the abilitybeen identified to significantly
influence the operating and financial policies of its investees. Any decline in
value, which is other than a temporary decline, is charged to earnings during
the period in which the impairment occurs. The Company classifies its marketable
equity security investments as available for sale. Accordingly, marketable
equity security investments are recorded at fair value with related unrealized
gains or losses reported as other comprehensive income.
As of December 31, 1998, the Company's investment in marketable equity
securities had a fair value of $8,546,000 and a cost basis of $5,348,000. As of
December 31, 1999, this investment has been classified as a short-term
investment.
Deferred Tax Assets and Deferred Tax Liabilities
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are established to recognize the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years
in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The
effects on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
46
Employee Stock Option and Purchase Plans
The Company accounts for employee stock-based awards in accordance with
the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. As such,
compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market
price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. Pursuant to SFAS No.
123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company discloses the pro
forma effects of using the fair value method of accounting for stock-based
compensation arrangements.
Stock Splits
On September 29, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors declared a
three-for-one common stock split in the form of a stock dividend for
Stockholders of record as of October 11, 1999. The stock dividend payment date
was 48
October 25, 1999 and the Company's common stock traded ex-dividend starting
October 26, 1999, reflecting the three-for-one stock split.
Subsequently, onOn February 8, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors declared an
additional three-for-one common stock split in the form of a stock dividend for
Stockholders of record as of February 21, 2000. The stock dividend payment date
was March 13, 2000 and the Company's common stock traded ex-dividend starting
March 14, 2000, reflecting the additional three-for-one stock split.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related financial
information contained herein have been retroactively restated to give effect for
the September 1999 and February 2000 stock splits.
Per Share Information
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average
number of shares of common stock outstanding less shares subject to
repurchase. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the
weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and, when
dilutive, common equivalent shares from outstanding stock options and
warrants using the treasury stock method and shares subject to repurchase.
The following table sets forth the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per
share computational data for the periods presented. Excluded from the
computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31,
2000, are options and warrants to acquire 34,816,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is
computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding
and, when dilutive, common equivalent shares from outstanding stock options and
warrants using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the
basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share computational data for the periods
presented. Excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the
year ended December 31, 1997, are options to acquire 33,318,000 shares of common
stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.49 and warrants to acquire
843,750 shares of common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.68
because their effects would be anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No.
138, effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2000. Accordingly, the Company will adopt SFAS No. 133 beginning on
January 1, 2001. SFAS No. 133, as amended, establishes standards for the
accounting and reporting of derivative instruments and hedging activities,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts.
Under SFAS No. 133, entities are required to carry all derivative
instruments at fair value on their balance sheets. The accounting for changes in
the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on
whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging activity and
the underlying purpose for it. The Company does not believe that the adoption of
SFAS No. 133 will have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements or related disclosures.
In December 1999,March 2000, the Securities and Exchange CommissionFASB issued Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for
Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation", an interpretation of
Accounting Principles Board, ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"APB"), Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements, whichOpinion No. 25. This interpretation
provides guidance onregarding the recognition, presentation, and
disclosureapplication of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB 101
outlines the basic criteria that must be metAPB Opinion No. 25 to recognize revenue and provides
guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. The Company
will adopt SAB 101stock
compensation involving employees. This interpretation was effective AprilJuly 1, 2000
as required. Management doesand did not expect the adoption of SAB 101 to have anya material effect on the Company's financial position, or results
of the operations, of the Company.or cash flows.
Note 2 -- Acquired Business:
On April 14, 2000, the Company completed its acquisition of Interleaf,
Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Interleaf") pursuant to a statutory merger involving
a stock-for-stock exchange. Interleaf's software products and related services
enable automated electronic business, or e-business, and also enable the
extension of e-business to wireless users. Interleaf provides customers with an
integrated, easily implemented e-business solution based on extensible Markup
Language, or XML, that enables the design, creation and management of XML-based
content for transformation and delivery over the Web and related services. As a
result of the acquisition, the Company will have the ability to combine
technological resources to develop a robust Web-based business solution and
reduce time to market for the combined Company's products. Through the
acquisition of all of the equity securities of Interleaf, BroadVision acquired
all of the assets and assumed liabilities of Interleaf and its existing
operations which included in-process technology. Pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of January 26, 2000
(the "Merger Agreement"), each outstanding share of Interleaf common stock was
exchanged for
48
1.0395 shares of Company common stock and all options to purchase shares of
Interleaf common stock outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the
Merger were converted into options to purchase shares of Company common stock.
The Company issued 14,391,991 shares of Company common stock with a fair
market value of $686.9 million and exchanged options to purchase 2,338,342
shares of Company common stock with a fair market value of $102.7 million. The
fair market value of the exchanged options to purchase 2,338,342 shares of
Company common stock was valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In
connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred transaction costs
consisting primarily of financial advisor, legal and accounting professional
fees of $14.8 million, severance costs of $1.0 million and office closure costs
of $1.3 million, resulting in a total purchase price of $806.7 million. The
results of operations of Interleaf have been included with the Company's results
of operations since the April 14, 2000 acquisition date.
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business combination.
Under this accounting treatment, the purchase price is allocated to the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values on the date
of acquisition.
The total purchase price paid for the Interleaf acquisition was allocated
as follows (in thousands):
Property and equipment .................... $ 2,896
Net tangible liabilities assumed, excluding
property and equipment .................... (1,041)
Identifiable intangible assets ............ 28,910
In-process technology ..................... 10,100
Goodwill .................................. 765,805
---------
Total ................................... $ 806,670
=========
Based upon the Company's estimates prepared in conjunction with a
third-party valuation consultant, $10.1 million was allocated to acquired
in-process technology and $28.9 million was allocated to intangible assets. The
amounts allocated to intangible assets include completed technologies of $20.4
million and assembled workforces of $8.5 million.
At December 31, 2000, accumulated amortization related to the goodwill and
other intangible assets acquired in the Interleaf acquisition totaled $187.6
million. Goodwill amortization was $180.8 million and other intangible asset
amortization was $6.8 million. The goodwill and other intangible assets are
being amortized over a three-year period.
The Company estimated that $10.1 million of the purchase price for
Interleaf represented acquired in-process technology that had not yet reached
technological feasibility and had no alternative future use. Accordingly,
this amount was immediately charged to expense in the consolidated statements
of operations upon consummation of the acquisition. The value assigned to
acquired in-process technology was the amounts attributable to the efforts of
Interleaf up to the time of acquisition. The amount was estimated through the
application of the "stages of completion" by multiplying the estimated
present value of future cash flows, excluding, cost of completion, by the
percentage of completion of the purchased technology at the time of the
acquisition. The discount rate included a factor that took into account the
uncertainty surrounding the successful development of the acquired in-process
technology.
The following summary, prepared on an unaudited pro forma basis, reflects
the condensed consolidated results of operations for the twelve-month period
ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 assuming Interleaf had been acquired at the
beginning of the periods presented (in thousands, except per share data):

The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what would have
occurred if the acquisition had been in effect for the periods presented. In
addition, they are not intended to be a projection of future results and do not
reflect any synergies that might be affected from combined operations. The
charges for in-process technology have not been included in the unaudited pro
forma results because they are nonrecurring.
On November 24, 1999, the Company acquired all of the registered shares
of Fidutec Information Technology SA for a cash payment of 6,000,000 Swiss
Francs (equivalent U.S. dollar value of $3,765,000, net of cash acquired); of
which 1,200,000 Swiss Francs are held in escrow, subject to employee
retention conditions lasting 12 to 24 months depending on named employees.
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The acquired assets and
assumed liabilities, and the related results of operations, are included in
the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date of
acquisition. The name of the acquired business has been subsequently changed
to BroadVision Professional Services. The purchase price was allocated based
