DemandTec, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Business Summary and Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
DemandTec, Inc. (the Company or We) was incorporated in Delaware on November 1, 1999. We
are a leading provider of on-demand optimization solutions to retailers and consumer products, or
CP, companies. Our software services enable retailers and CP companies to separately or
collaboratively define category, brand, and customer strategies based on a scientific understanding
of consumer behavior and make actionable pricing, promotion, assortment, space, and other
merchandising and marketing decisions to achieve their revenue, profitability, sales volume, and
customer loyalty objectives. We deliver our applications by means of a software-as-a-service, or
SaaS, model, which allows us to capture and analyze the most recent retailer and market-level data,
enhance our software services rapidly to address our customers ever-changing merchandising and
marketing needs, and connect retailers and CP companies via collaborative, Internet-based
applications. We are headquartered in San Mateo, California, with additional sales presence in
North America, Europe, and South America.
Basis of Presentation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our
wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. Our fiscal year ends on the last day in February. References to fiscal
2011, for example, refer to our fiscal year ending February 28, 2011. The accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2010, the condensed consolidated statements of operations
for the three months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash
flows for the three months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated
balance sheet data as of February 28, 2010 was derived from the audited consolidated financial
statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010
(the Form 10-K) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on April 23, 2010. The
accompanying statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and related notes contained in the Form 10-K, as well as subsequent filings with the
SEC.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated
financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to
such rules and regulations. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of
our management, include all adjustments necessary, all of which are of a normal recurring nature,
for the fair presentation of our statement of financial position and our results of operations for
the periods included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results for the three months ended
May 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent
quarter or for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2011.
Subsequent Events
We have evaluated subsequent events through the time of filing this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q. We are not aware of any significant events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date
but prior to the filing of this report that would have a material impact on our condensed
consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date
of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the periods presented. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management
include the determination of the fair value of share-based payments, the fair value of purchased
intangible assets, the recoverability of long-lived assets, the allowance for doubtful accounts,
and the provision for income taxes. We believe that the estimates and judgments upon which we rely
are reasonable, based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates and
judgments are made. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual
results, our condensed consolidated financial statements will be affected.
6
Revenue Recognition
We generate revenue from fees under agreements with initial terms that generally are one to
three years in length. Our agreements contain multiple elements, which include the use of our
software, SaaS delivery services, professional services, maintenance, and customer support.
Professional services consist of implementation, training, data modeling, and analytical services
related to our customers use of our software. We have determined that the elements within our
agreements do not qualify for treatment as separate units of accounting. Therefore, we account for
all fees received under our agreements as a single unit of accounting and recognize them ratably
over the term of the related agreement, commencing upon the later of the agreement start date or
the date access to the application is provided to the customers, and when all of the following
conditions are also met:
|
|
|
there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; |
|
|
|
the service has been provided to the customer; |
|
|
|
the collection of the fees is probable; and |
|
|
|
the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable. |
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of amounts billed or payments received in advance of revenue
recognition. Contracts under which we advance bill customers are generally non-cancellable. For
agreements with terms over one year, we generally invoice our customers in annual installments.
Accordingly, the deferred revenue balance associated with such multi-year, non-cancellable
agreements does not represent the total contract value. Deferred revenue to be recognized in the
succeeding twelve-month period is included in current deferred revenue on our consolidated balance
sheets, with the remaining amounts included in non-current deferred revenue.
Concentrations of Credit Risk, Significant Customers and Suppliers and Geographic Information
Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily
of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, and a line of credit.
Although we deposit our cash with multiple financial institutions, our deposits, at times, may
exceed federally insured limits. Collateral is not required for accounts receivable.
As of May 31, 2010 and February 28, 2010, long-lived assets located outside the United States
were not significant. As of May 31, 2010 and February 28, 2010, three customers accounted for 55%
and 48%, respectively, of our accounts receivable balance.
In the three months ended May 31, 2010, two customers accounted for 24% of total revenue. In
the three months ended May 31, 2009, one customer accounted for 13% of total revenue. Revenue by
geographic region, based on the billing address of the customer, was as follows (in thousands):

The equipment hosting our software is in three third-party data center facilities located in
San Jose, California, Sacramento, California, and Mesa, Arizona. We do not control the operation of
these facilities, and our operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption in the event either
of these third-party data center facilities fails.
7
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. We evaluate the
recoverability of each of our long-lived assets, including purchased intangible assets and
property, equipment, and leasehold improvements, by comparison of its carrying amount to the future
undiscounted cash flows we expect the asset to generate. If we consider the asset to be impaired,
we measure the amount of any impairment as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair
value of the impaired asset. We observed no impairment indicators through the filing of this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for and recognize all share-based payments as an expense in our statements of
operations. Grants of stock options to employees and to new members of our board of directors
generally vest over four years and annual stock option grants to existing members of our board of
directors vest over one year. We measure the value of stock options based on the grant date fair
value using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Performance-based stock units, or PSUs, vest pursuant
to certain performance and time-based vesting criteria set by our Compensation Committee. We
evaluate the probability of meeting the performance criteria at the end of each reporting period to
determine how much compensation expense to record. Because the actual number of shares to be issued
is not known until the end of the performance period, the actual compensation expense related to
these awards could differ from our current expectations. We also have time-based restricted stock
units, or RSUs, outstanding that entitle the recipient to receive shares of our common stock upon
vesting and settlement of the awards pursuant to time-based vesting criteria set by our
Compensation Committee. Stock-based compensation expense for PSUs and RSUs is based on the closing
price of our common stock on the grant date. We amortize the fair value of those awards, net of
estimated forfeitures, as stock-based compensation expense over the vesting period of the awards.
Net Loss per Common Share
Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period, excluding any unvested common shares subject to repurchase. All
common shares subject to repurchase were fully vested prior to the fiscal quarter ended May 31,
2010 and the weighted average number of common shares subject to repurchase was immaterial in the
three months ended May 31, 2009.
Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of
stock options or upon the settlement of PSUs and RSUs, shares subject to issuance under our 2007
Employee Stock Purchase Program, or ESPP, and unvested common shares subject to repurchase or
cancellation. The dilutive effect of such potential common shares is reflected in diluted loss per
share by application of the treasury stock method and on an if-converted basis from the date of
issuance. In the three months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, weighted average outstanding shares
subject to options to purchase common stock, PSUs and RSUs, and shares subject to issuance under
our ESPP were approximately 2,846,000 shares and 4,022,000 shares, respectively. Because the
Company has been in a loss position in all periods shown, shares used in computing basic and
diluted net loss per common share were the same for all periods presented, as the impact of all
potentially dilutive securities outstanding was anti-dilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued guidance on
defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of
revenue recognition for research or development transactions. The guidance is effective on a
prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years,
beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect a material
impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of the new accounting
standard.
In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance that requires additional disclosures for fair value
measurements and provides clarification for existing disclosure requirements. The guidance requires
a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level
1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and the reasons for these transfers. In addition, the
guidance requires enhanced disclosure of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance
is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for gross
presentation of activity in Level 3 which is effective for annual periods beginning after December
15, 2010, and for interim periods in those years. We adopted the guidance for new disclosures for
fair value measurements and clarification for existing disclosure requirements on March 1, 2010 and
there was no impact on our condensed
8
consolidated financial statements. We do not expect any impact on our condensed consolidated
financial statements upon effectiveness of the new standard for Level 3 activity.
In October 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard for revenue recognition for
arrangements with multiple deliverables. The new standard impacts the determination of when the
individual deliverables included in a multiple-element arrangement may be treated as separate units
of accounting. Additionally, the new standard modifies the manner in which the transaction
consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables by no longer permitting
the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration. The new standard is effective for
fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010; however, early adoption of this standard is
permitted. We have determined that there will be no impact on our condensed consolidated financial
statements for existing customer arrangements upon adoption of the new accounting standard.
In October 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard for the accounting for certain
revenue arrangements that include software elements. The new standard amends the scope of
pre-existing software revenue guidance by removing from the guidance non-software components of
tangible products and certain software components of tangible products. The new standard is
effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010; however, early adoption of this
standard is permitted. We have determined that there will be no impact on our condensed
consolidated financial statements for existing customer arrangements upon adoption of the new
accounting standard.
2. Acquisition
In February 2009, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
privately-held Connect3 Systems, Inc., or Connect3, a provider of advertising planning and
execution software, for a purchase price of approximately $13.5 million, which consisted of $13.3
million cash and $201,000 of acquisition costs. We paid approximately $12.3 million of the
consideration in fiscal 2010. The remaining $1.0 million, less any amounts used to satisfy claims
for indemnification that we may make for certain breaches of representations, warranties and
covenants, will be distributed to the former Connect3 shareholders in July 2010.
We accounted for the Connect3 acquisition under the purchase method of accounting. The assets
acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair market value, based on the valuation
performed by an independent third-party valuation firm. We recorded approximately $11.3 million of
goodwill, $4.5 million of identifiable intangible assets, and $2.3 million of net liabilities
assumed. Intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of one to two
and a half years, with a remaining weighted average useful life of 1.1 years at May 31, 2010. The
goodwill balance is not deductible for tax purposes. The results of Connect3s operations are
included in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Pro forma
results of the acquired business have not been presented as it was not material to our condensed
consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

Historically, all investments have been held to maturity, and thus, there were no gains or
losses recognized during the periods presented. We have the ability and intent to hold our
marketable securities to maturity and do not believe any of the marketable securities are impaired
based on our evaluation of available evidence at May 31, 2010 and through the time of filing of
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We expect to receive all principal and interest on all of our
investment securities.

4. Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets
We record as goodwill the excess of the acquisition purchase price over the fair value of the
tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. We do not amortize goodwill, but perform an
annual impairment review of our goodwill during our third quarter, or more frequently if indicators
of potential impairment arise. We have a single operating segment and consequently evaluate
goodwill for impairment based on an evaluation of the fair value of our company as a whole. At
each of May 31, 2010 and February 28, 2010, we had $16.6 million of goodwill from our
acquisitions of Connect3 in February 2009 and TradePoint in November 2006.
We record purchased intangible assets at their respective estimated fair values at the date of
acquisition. Purchased intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over
their estimated useful lives of approximately one to seven years, with a remaining
weighted average useful life of 2.0 years at May 31, 2010. We evaluate the remaining useful lives of intangible assets
on a periodic basis to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the
remaining estimated amortization period. Amortization expense related to the purchased intangible
assets was approximately $757,000 and $1.1 million in the three months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
We
evaluate our goodwill annually in November and recognized no impairment charges as a result of
the most recent review. Additionally, we observed no impairment indicators for both goodwill and intangible
assets through the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
5. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
We lease office space in various locations throughout the United States and Europe. In
September 2009, we entered into a lease agreement for office space in San Mateo, California, under
which the total lease term is eight years with an initial non-cancellable lease term of five years
commencing December 1, 2009. We use the office space as our new corporate headquarters. The
aggregate minimum lease commitment is approximately $10.1 million. To secure our obligations under
the lease, we have provided the lessor a $223,000 cash security deposit and a $917,000 letter of
credit, secured by using our existing revolving line of credit as described in Note 6.
Additionally, the lessor provided us with a tenant improvement allowance of $265,000 and assumed
our payment obligations (equal to approximately $200,000) under the previous sublease for our
then-existing corporate headquarters in San Carlos, California for the period from December 1, 2009
through February 28, 2010, the expiration date of such sublease. The tenant improvement allowance
and the $200,000 of assumed sublease obligations have been deferred and are being recognized on a
straight-line basis over the lease term as reductions of rent expenses. The leasehold improvements
are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated
useful lives of the assets.
In September 2009, we entered into equipment and facility operating leases associated with our
new data center in Mesa, Arizona, with minimum lease terms of two years for the equipment lease and
three years for the facility lease. The aggregate minimum lease payments are approximately $1.5
million.
10
Legal Proceedings
We have from time to time become involved in legal matters that arise in the normal course of
business and otherwise. For example, we have recently become involved in a dispute with a large
customer relating to services associated with a development project with that customer. We are
continually assessing the potential impact of the dispute, which is at a relatively early stage.
All unpaid invoice amounts outstanding in connection with this dispute, totaling $500,000, have
been fully reserved pending the outcome of the dispute. There can be no assurance that the dispute
or other third party claims and litigation that may arise in the future will not have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, including
a loss of customers, or subject us to significant financial or other remedies.
6. Debt
In May 2009, we amended our revolving line of credit that we had entered in April 2008 to,
among other things, extend the maturity date of the loan agreement and to increase the revolving
line of credit from $15.0 million to $20.0 million. The amended revolving line of credit can be
used to (a) borrow revolving loans, (b) issue letters of credit, and (c) enter into foreign
exchange contracts. Revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid, and reborrowed until May 7, 2012.
Amounts borrowed will bear interest, at our option, at either (1) a floating per annum rate equal
to the financial institutions prime rate, or (2) the greater of (A) the LIBOR rate plus 250 basis
points or (B) a per annum rate equal to 4.0%. A default interest rate shall apply during an event
of default at a rate per annum equal to 500 basis points above the otherwise applicable interest
rate. The line of credit is collateralized by substantially all of our assets and requires us to
comply with working capital, net worth, and other non-financial covenants, including limitations on
indebtedness and restrictions on dividend distributions, among others. In September 2009, the
available balance was reduced by approximately $917,000 to $19.1 million to secure a new operating
lease commitment. There were no outstanding amounts under the line of credit at May 31, 2010.
Through the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we were in compliance with all loan
covenants.
7. Stock-Based Compensation
Equity Incentive Plans
1999 Equity Incentive Plan
In December 1999, our Board of Directors adopted the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan (the 1999
Plan). The 1999 Plan, provided for incentive or nonstatutory stock options, stock bonuses, and
rights to acquire restricted stock to be granted to employees, outside directors, and consultants.
We ceased issuing awards under the 1999 Plan upon the completion of our IPO in August 2007. As of
May 31, 2010, options to purchase 4,352,413 shares were outstanding under the 1999 Plan. Such
options are exercisable as specified in each option agreement, generally vest over four years, and
expire no more than ten years from the date of grant. If options awarded under the 1999 Plan are
forfeited or repurchased, then shares underlying those options will no longer be available for
awards.
2007 Equity Incentive Plan
In May 2007, our Board of Directors adopted, and in July 2007 our stockholders approved, the
2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2007 Plan). The 2007 Plan became effective upon our IPO. The 2007
Plan, which is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, provides for
stock options, stock units, restricted shares, and stock appreciation rights to be granted to
employees, non-employee directors and consultants. We initially reserved 3.0 million shares of our
common stock for issuance under the 2007 Plan. In addition, on the first day of each fiscal year
commencing with fiscal year 2009, the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the
2007 Plan shall automatically increase by a number equal to the lowest of a) 5% of the total number
of shares of common stock then outstanding, b) 3,750,000 shares, or c) a number determined by our
Board of Directors. An additional 1,475,065 shares and 1,403,189 shares were reserved for issuance
under the 2007 Plan on March 1, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Stock Options
Options granted under the 2007 Plan may be either incentive stock options or nonstatutory
stock options and are exercisable as determined by the Compensation Committee and as specified in
each option agreement. Options vest over a period of time as determined by the Compensation
Committee, generally four years, and generally expire seven years (but in any event no more than
ten years) from the date of grant. The exercise price of any stock option granted under the 2007
Plan may not be less than the fair market
11
value of our common stock on the date of grant. The term of the 2007 Plan is ten years. As of
May 31, 2010, options to purchase 3,292,695 shares were outstanding under the 2007 Plan.
Performance Stock Units (PSUs)
PSUs are awards under our 2007 Plan that entitle the recipient to receive shares of our common
stock upon vesting and settlement of the awards pursuant to certain performance and time-based
vesting criteria set by our Compensation Committee.
In May and June 2009, our Compensation Committee granted 901,000 and 25,000 PSUs,
respectively, to certain of our executive officers and other employees. These PSU grants consisted
of a single tranche and related to fiscal 2010 company performance objectives and subsequent
individual service requirements over a period of approximately 23 months subject to each grantees
continued service. In May 2010, our Compensation Committee granted 314,250 PSUs to our executive
officers, which consisted of a single tranche and related to fiscal 2011 company performance
objectives and subsequent individual service requirements over a period of approximately 17 months
subject to each grantees continued service. As of May 31, 2010, there were approximately 695,000
shares subject to outstanding PSUs from these grants.
Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)
RSUs are awards under the 2007 Plan that entitle the recipient to receive shares of our common
stock upon vesting and settlement of the awards pursuant to time-based vesting criteria set by our
Compensation Committee.
In the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2008, our Compensation Committee granted 545,900 RSUs to
our executive officers and certain other employees. In April 2010, 455,650 of these RSUs were fully
vested. In connection with the vesting and settlement of these RSUs, we withheld 148,523 shares of
our common stock in settlement of employee income and payroll tax withholding obligations and paid
the corresponding amounts in cash, approximately $937,000, to the appropriate federal and state
taxing authorities.
In January 2010, our Compensation Committee granted 100,000 RSUs, which will vest over a
period of approximately four years, subject to the grantees continued services. In April and May
2010, our Compensation Committee granted a total of 1,130,500 RSUs to certain of our executive
officers and other employees. Such RSUs will vest over a period of approximately 27 months, subject
to each grantees continued service. As of May 31, 2010, there were approximately 1,222,000 shares
subject to outstanding RSUs granted since January 2010.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
In May 2007 our Board of Directors adopted, and in July 2007 our stockholders approved, the
2007 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. We subsequently amended the ESPP in March 2010. Under the ESPP,
eligible employees may purchase shares of common stock at a price per share equal to 85% of the
lesser of the fair market values of our common stock at the beginning or end of the applicable
offering period. The initial offering period commenced on August 8, 2007 and ended on April 15,
2008. Each subsequent offering period lasts for six months. We initially reserved 500,000 shares of
our common stock for issuance under the ESPP. In addition, on the first day of each fiscal year
commencing with fiscal year 2009, the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the
ESPP shall automatically increase by a number equal to the lowest of a) 1% of the total number of
shares of common stock then outstanding, b) 375,000 shares, or c) a number determined by our Board
of Directors. An additional 295,013 shares and 280,638 shares were reserved for issuance under the
ESPP on March 1, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2010, employees
purchased 96,306 shares under the ESPP, and the weighted average per share fair value of the
options to purchase those shares was approximately $2.30. As of May 31, 2010, a total of 911,037
shares were available for issuance under the ESPP.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense Associated with Awards to Employees
We have issued employee stock-based awards in the form of stock options, PSUs, RSUs, and
shares subject to the ESPP. We measure the value of stock options and shares subject to the ESPP
based on the grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Stock-based compensation
expense for PSUs and RSUs is based on the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. The
aggregate fair value of the PSUs granted in May 2010 and RSUs granted in the three months ended May
31, 2010 was approximately $2.1 million and $7.8 million, respectively.
The determination of the fair value of stock options and shares subject to the ESPP on the
date of grant is affected by our stock price, as well as by assumptions regarding a number of
complex and subjective variables. These variables include our expected stock price volatility over
the term of the options and awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors,
risk-free interest rates, and expected dividends, which are set forth in the table below:

8. Income Taxes
In the three months ended May 31, 2010, we recorded income tax expense of approximately
$23,000 compared to $19,000 in the corresponding period of the prior year. The effective tax rate
for the three months ended May 31, 2010 was less than 1% based on our estimated taxable income for
the year. We recorded tax expense primarily for state minimum taxes and foreign taxes. The income
tax expense in the corresponding period of the prior year was for federal alternative minimum
income taxes, state income taxes in states where we have no net operating loss carryforwards, and
foreign taxes.
13
There were no material changes to our unrecognized tax benefits in the three months ended May
31, 2010 and we do not expect to have any significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits over the
next twelve months. Because of our history of operating losses, all years remain open to audit.
9. Derivative Financial Instruments
We maintain a foreign currency risk management strategy that includes the use of derivative
financial instruments designed to protect our economic value from the possible adverse effects of
currency fluctuations. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or
trading purposes. Our hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge,
and hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged
transactions both at the inception of a hedge and on an ongoing basis. We record the ineffective
portion of hedging instruments, if any, to other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of
operations.
As of May 31, 2010, we had five outstanding forward contracts with an aggregate notional
principal of approximately 5.5 million, which are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Related to a three-year contract, under which we separately hedge each equal annual billing.
The forward contracts mature in December 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. |
We designated these forward contracts as cash flow hedges of foreign currency denominated firm
commitments. Our objective in purchasing these forward contracts was to negate the impact of
currency exchange rate movements on our operating results. We record effective spot-to-spot changes
in these cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income until the hedged transaction
takes place. Combined implied interest on all forward contracts was excluded from effectiveness
testing and is being recorded using the straight-line method over the terms of the forward
contracts to interest expense and accumulated other comprehensive income. We did not incur any
hedge ineffectiveness in the three months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009.

In the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2010, we reclassified approximately $34,000 of the
cumulative net unrealized gain associated with a forward contract that matured in May 2009 from
accumulated other comprehensive income into revenue. Over the next 12
months, we expect to reclassify to revenue approximately $136,000 and
$291,000 in net unrealized gains associated with the forward
contracts that expired in May 2009 and June 2010, respectively.
10. Fair Value Measurements
Effective March 1, 2008, we adopted new accounting standards for fair value measurements,
which clarify that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for
considering such assumptions, the new accounting standards establish a three-tier value hierarchy,
which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level 1 Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets
or liabilities in active markets.
14
Level 2 Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the
marketplace.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and
minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
We measure our foreign currency forward contracts at fair value using Level 2 inputs, as the
valuation inputs are based on quoted prices of similar instruments in active markets and do not
involve management judgment.

Overview
We are a leading provider of on-demand optimization solutions to retailers and consumer
products, or CP, companies. Our software services enable retailers and CP companies to separately
or collaboratively define category, brand, and customer strategies based on a scientific
understanding of consumer behavior and make actionable pricing, promotion, assortment, space and
other merchandising and marketing recommendations to achieve their revenue, profitability, sales
volume, and customer loyalty objectives. We deliver our applications by means of a
software-as-a-service, or SaaS, model, which allows us to capture and analyze the most recent
retailer and market-level data and enhance our software services rapidly to address our customers
ever-changing merchandising and marketing needs, and connect retailers and CP companies via
collaborative, Internet-based applications. During fiscal 2010, we introduced our nextGEN
strategy, which combines category, brand and shopper-insights to provide our retail customers a
unified understanding of shopper behavior and the ability to leverage those insights to make better
business decisions on pricing, promotion, assortment and collaboration with their CP trading
partners.
Our solutions consist of software services and complementary analytical services and
analytical insights derived from the same platform that supports our software services. We offer
our solutions individually or as a suite of integrated software services. Our solutions for the
retail and CP industries include DemandTec Lifecycle Price Optimizationtm,
DemandTec End-to-End Promotion Managementtm, DemandTec Assortment &
Spacetm, DemandTec Targeted Marketingtm, and DemandTec
Trade Effectivenesstm. The DemandTec TradePoint Networktm
connects our solutions for the retail and CP industries. We sell our solutions through our direct
sales force and receive a number of customer prospect introductions through third-parties, such as
systems integrators, strategic consulting firms, and a data syndication company. We were
incorporated in November 1999 and began selling our software in fiscal 2001. Our revenue has grown
from $9.5 million in fiscal 2004 to $79.1 million in fiscal 2010, and was $18.0 million in the
quarter ended May 31, 2010. Our operating expenses have also increased significantly during these
same periods. We have incurred losses to date and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $95.1
million at May 31, 2010.
We sell our software to retailers and CP companies under agreements with initial terms that
generally are one to three years in length and provide a variety of services associated with our
customers use of our software. Our software service agreements with retailers and CP companies are
often large contracts. The annual contract value for each retail and CP company customer agreement
is largely related to the size of the customer. These retail and CP customer agreements can create
significant variability in the aggregate annual contract value of customer agreements signed in any
given fiscal quarter. Our Advanced Deal Management agreements with CP companies that leverage the
DemandTec TradePoint Network are principally one year in length and much smaller in annual and
aggregate contract value than our other CP company customer software services contracts and our
retail contracts. Generally, the agreements we have signed in the first fiscal quarter of a fiscal
year have had an aggregate annual contract value less than that of the agreements signed in the
preceding fiscal fourth quarter. In addition, the aggregate contract value of agreements signed can
fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis within any given fiscal year. A significant percentage
of our new and existing customer add-on agreements are entered into during the last month, weeks,
or even days of each quarter. We generally recognize the revenue we generate from each agreement
ratably over the term of the agreement. Our ability to maintain or increase revenues depends on our
attracting new customers, renewing agreements with our existing customers at comparable prices, and
selling add-on software services to existing customers, as well as the success of our nextGEN
strategy. Further, our revenue will be directly affected by the continued acceptance of our
software in the marketplace, as well as the timing, size and term length of our customer
agreements. If we are unable to successfully develop or acquire new software and enhance our
existing applications, including solutions underlying our nextGEN strategy, we may not be able to
attract and retain customers or increase or maintain our revenue.
During fiscal 2009 and 2010, the global economic environment deteriorated which resulted in
delays in the execution of new and some renewal customer contracts, with some customers or
potential customers electing not to enter into new or renewal contracts, and with some other
customers renewing at lower prices or for shorter contract periods. Accordingly, our revenue growth
slowed and our deferred revenue balances decreased. In the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2010, our
revenue declined from the immediately preceding quarter. We expect that our revenue will increase
in our second fiscal quarter ending August 31, 2010 and that revenue may continue to grow in the
short term. However, we believe that long-term revenue growth is more difficult to predict. The
impact of the adverse economic environment on our business also contributed to the net use of
approximately $4.4 million of cash in operations in the quarter ended May 31, 2010 and the net use
of $6.8 million of cash in operations in fiscal 2010. While we expect to generate cash from
operations in our second fiscal quarter ending August 31, 2010, the signing of customer contracts
and the collection of cash will continue to remain challenging and unpredictable. While there
appear to be some signs of improvement in the global economic environment, we currently believe
that the above global economic conditions will continue to result in a challenging environment that
could negatively impact our business in the near term. Furthermore, our ability to achieve
profitability will be affected by our revenue
16
as well as our other operating expenses associated with growing our business. Our largest
category of operating expenses is research and development expenses, and the largest component of
our operating expenses is personnel costs.
In June 2010, one of our existing customers signed a multi-year agreement for substantially
all of our existing and certain potential future nextGEN software services. This agreement includes
obligations for us to engage in certain development efforts on a commercially reasonable basis. We
believe this agreement could result in this customer representing approximately 20% of our revenue
during fiscal 2011. In addition, the agreement can be canceled by the customer without cause after
three years and restricts our ability to sell certain future nextGEN software services and
functionality to certain companies for a specific period of time.
We are headquartered in San Mateo, California, and have sales and marketing offices in North
America and Europe. In the three months ended May 31, 2010, approximately 86% of our revenue was
attributable to sales of our software to companies located in the United States.
As
of June 25, 2010, we had approximately 30.1 million shares of common stock outstanding,
excluding approximately 9.6 million shares subject to outstanding options, performance stock units
and restricted stock units. The issuance of shares upon the exercise of these options and
settlement of these units, as well as the grant of additional options and units pursuant to our
equity compensation plans, would result in additional dilution and may adversely impact our
earnings per share. See Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. These accounting principles require us to make certain
estimates and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the
date of our consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the periods presented. We believe that our estimates and judgments were reasonable
based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates and judgments were made. On
an ongoing basis we evaluate our estimates and judgments. To the extent that there are material
differences between these estimates and actual results, our consolidated financial statements could
be adversely affected. The accounting policies that we believe reflect our more significant
estimates, judgments and assumptions and which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully
understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:
|
|
Stock-Based Compensation |
|
|
Goodwill and Intangible Assets |
|
|
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated
by GAAP and does not require managements judgment in its application. There are also areas in
which managements judgment in selecting among available accounting policy alternatives would not
produce a materially different result.
During the three months ended May 31, 2010, there were no significant changes in our critical
accounting policies. Please refer to Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
February 28, 2010 and Note 1 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included
herein for a more complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.
Results of Operations
Revenue
We derive all of our revenue from customer agreements that cover the use of our software and
various services associated with our customers use of our software. We generally recognize all
revenue ratably over the term of the agreement. Our agreements are generally non-cancellable, but
customers typically have the right to terminate their agreement for cause if we materially breach
our obligations under the agreement and, in certain situations, may have the ability to extend the
duration of their agreement on pre-negotiated terms. We invoice our customers in accordance with
contractual terms, which generally provide that our customers are invoiced in advance for annual
use of our software. We generally provide certain implementation services on a fixed fee basis and
invoice our customers in advance. In addition, we also provide implementation and training services
on a time and materials basis and
17
invoice our customers monthly in arrears. Our payment terms typically require our customers to
pay us within 30 days of the invoice date.

Three Months Ended May 31, 2010 Compared to the Three Months Ended May 31, 2009. Revenue for
the three months ended May 31, 2010 decreased approximately $1.5 million, or 8%, compared to the
corresponding period of the prior year, primarily due to a $1.3 million decrease in revenue from
existing customers and a $471,000 decrease in revenue from customers in the three months ended May
31, 2009 who were no longer customers in the three months ended May 31, 2010. These decreases were
partially offset by $289,000 of revenue from new customers in the three months ended May 31, 2010.
New customers are those that did not contribute any revenue in the three months ended May 31, 2009.
Existing customers are those that contributed revenue in each of the periods presented. Our revenue
growth depends on our ability to attract new customers and to retain the existing revenues from our
current customers over time. Some of our initial agreements with customers included fees for
software, services, or hosting components that were not needed upon renewal. As a consequence, we
received lower total fees upon renewal of those agreements. Additionally, during fiscal 2010, the
adverse global economic conditions continued to result in delays in the execution of new and some
renewal customer contracts. Some existing customers or potential customers elected not to enter
into new or renewal contracts, some renewed at lower prices and/or on less favorable terms, and
some delayed the timing and/or slowed the pace of certain professional services including
development projects. Accordingly, in the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2010, our revenue declined
from the immediate preceding quarter and declined from the corresponding period of the prior year.
We expect that our revenue will increase in our second fiscal quarter ending August 31, 2010 and
that revenue may continue to grow in the short term. However, we believe long-term revenue growth
is more difficult to predict.
Percentages of total revenue by customer type and geographic region for the periods presented

Revenue from CP companies increased as a percentage of total revenue in the three months ended
May 31, 2010 compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. Revenue from customers located
outside the United States remained flat as a percentage of total revenue in the three months ended
May 31, 2010 compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. Over the long term, we expect
that revenue from CP companies and revenue from international customers will increase as a
percentage of total revenue on an annual basis.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue includes expenses related to data centers, depreciation expenses associated
with computer equipment and software, compensation and related expenses of operations, technical
customer support, production operations and professional services personnel, amortization of
purchased intangible assets, and allocated overhead expenses. We have contracts with three third
parties for the use of their data center facilities, and our data center costs principally consist
of the amounts we pay to these third parties for rack space, power and similar items. We amortize
purchased intangible assets, principally for developed technology acquired in prior acquisitions.
We allocate overhead costs, such as rent and occupancy costs, employee benefits, information
management costs, and legal and other costs, to all departments predominantly based on headcount.
As a result, we include allocated overhead expenses in cost of revenue and each operating expense
category.

Three Months Ended May 31, 2010 Compared to the Three Months Ended May 31, 2009. Cost of
revenue in the three months ended May 31, 2010 increased $410,000, or 6%, over the corresponding
period of the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $269,000 in data center
and equipment costs associated with a new data center in Mesa, Arizona to provide the
infrastructure required to handle the anticipated increase in the level of customer data processed
and analyzed in our nextGEN service offerings. In addition, other facilities-related expense
increased approximately $79,000 over the corresponding period of the prior year as our rent expense
increased when we moved to a new headquarters facility in December 2009.
Our gross margin decreased to 61% in the three months ended May 31, 2010 compared to 66% in
the corresponding period of the prior year, primarily due to the decrease in revenue in the three
months ended May 31, 2010 and a simultaneous increase in our infrastructure costs to support our
nextGEN service offerings. We anticipate, in the short term, that our gross margin will increase
from the quarter ended May 31, 2010, as we begin to grow our revenue and leverage the
infrastructure investments we have made to support our nextGEN service offerings.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses include personnel costs for our research, product management
and software development personnel, and allocated overhead expenses. We devote substantial
resources to extending our existing software applications as well as to developing new software.

Three Months Ended May 31, 2010 Compared to the Three Months Ended May 31, 2009. Research and
development expenses in the three months ended May 31, 2010 decreased $384,000, or 5%, from the
corresponding period of the prior year, primarily due to decreased personnel costs, partially
offset by increases in allocated facility costs, quality assurance lab costs and consulting
expenses.
Personnel costs decreased $641,000 in the three months ended May 31, 2010 from the
corresponding period of the prior year, primarily because average headcount decreased by 13, which
resulted in an approximately $489,000 decrease in payroll costs. Stock-based compensation expense,
which is a component of personnel costs, decreased approximately $152,000 in the three months ended
May 31, 2010 compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in
stock-based compensation expense as PSUs and RSUs granted in fiscal 2008 and 2009 became fully
vested. Partially offsetting the decrease in personnel costs, our allocated facility expense
increased $128,000 in the three months ended May 31, 2010 compared to the corresponding period of
the prior year, as we moved to our new San Mateo headquarters facility in December 2009 and our
quality assurance lab was moved to the data center in Mesa, Arizona in February 2010. Additionally,
outside consulting service costs increased $121,000 to support nextGEN projects.
We intend to continue to invest significantly in our research and development efforts because
we believe these efforts are essential to maintaining our competitive position. In the near term,
we expect that research and development expenses will increase in absolute dollars, but decrease
as a percentage of revenue.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses include personnel costs for our sales and marketing personnel,
including commissions and incentives, travel and entertainment expenses, marketing programs such as
product marketing, events, corporate communications and other brand building expenses, and
allocated overhead expenses.

Three Months Ended May 31, 2010 Compared to the Three Months Ended May 31, 2009. Sales and
marketing expenses in the three months ended May 31, 2010 increased approximately $894,000, or 16%,
over the corresponding period of the prior year, primarily as a result of increased personnel costs
and increased accounts receivable reserves, partially offset by decreased marketing program costs.
Personnel costs increased $417,000 in the three months ended May 31, 2010 over the
corresponding period of the prior year, mainly due to increased salary, benefit, and stock-based
compensation expenses, partially offset by decreased commission expenses. Average sales and
marketing headcount increased from 41 to 47 in the three months ended May 31, 2010 compared to the
corresponding period of the prior year, resulting in an increase of $443,000 in payroll costs.
Stock-based compensation expense increased $112,000 in the three months ended May 31, 2010 compared
to the corresponding period of the prior year, primarily as a result of RSUs granted to employees
in April 2010. Commission expense decreased $138,000 as a result of a higher percentage of our
bookings being renewal business over the past year, which are paid at lower rates than commissions
associated with new business. In addition, reserves for accounts receivable increased $460,000, as
we fully reserved for a customer invoice that is in dispute. Marketing program and event costs
decreased $124,000 in the three months ended May 31, 2010 compared to the corresponding period of
the prior year as we undertook fewer marketing and branding initiatives.
In the near term, we expect that sales and marketing expenses will decrease in absolute
dollars, and decrease as a percentage of revenue.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include personnel costs for our executive, finance and
accounting, human resources, legal and information management personnel, third-party professional
services, travel and entertainment expenses, other corporate expenses and overhead not allocated to
cost of revenue, research and development expenses, or sales and marketing expenses. Third-party
professional services primarily include outside legal, audit and tax-related consulting costs.

corresponding period of the prior year, primarily due to an increase in personnel costs, partially
offset by decreases in costs associated with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and audit related services.
In the near term, we expect that general and administrative expenses will remain relatively

associated with amortization of purchased intangible assets decreased $297,000 in the three months
ended May 31, 2010 from the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease was primarily due
to the scheduled full amortization of intangible assets associated with the purchase of rights to
develop assortment optimization technology in May 2008 and certain intangible assets from the
TradePoint acquisition. Intangible
20
assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives,
with an estimated remaining weighted average period of 2.0 years at May 31, 2010. The quarterly
amortization expense of all existing purchased intangible assets will decline further beginning in
the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and thereafter.

|
Three Months Ended May 31, 2010 Compared to the Three Months Ended May 31, 2009. In the three
months ended May 31, 2010, we recorded income tax expense of approximately $23,000 compared to
$19,000 in the corresponding period of the prior year. The effective tax rate for the three months
ended May 31, 2010 was less than 1% based on our estimated taxable income for the year. We recorded
tax expenses primarily for state minimum taxes and foreign taxes. The income tax expense in the
corresponding period of the prior year was for federal alternative minimum income taxes, state
income taxes in states where we have no net operating loss carryforwards, and foreign taxes.
Since inception, we have incurred annual operating losses and, accordingly, have recorded a
provision for income taxes primarily for federal minimum income taxes, state income taxes
principally in states where we have no net operating loss carryforwards, and foreign taxes. At
February 28, 2010, we had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $70.6
million and $43.4 million, respectively, to cover future taxable income.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Total stock-based compensation expense was slightly higher in the three months ended May 31,
2010 than in the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase in stock-based compensation
expense was primarily a result of stock options granted to new and existing employees subsequent to
May 31, 2009 and PSUs and RSUs granted during fiscal 2010 and the three months ended May 31, 2010,
offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation expense as PSUs and RSUs granted in fiscal 2008
and 2009 became fully vested. See Note 7 of Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements contained herein for further explanation of how we derive and account for these
estimates. We expect that stock-based compensation expense will vary in the future depending upon
the magnitude and timing of equity incentive grants and revisions to our estimates of the number of
outstanding awards expected to vest, as well as potential fluctuations in our stock price.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At May 31, 2010, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash, cash equivalents, and
marketable securities of $61.3 million, accounts receivable (net of allowance) of $13.6 million,
and available borrowing capacity under our credit facility of $19.1 million, after reduction of
approximately $917,000 to secure the operating lease commitment associated with our San Mateo
headquarters facility.
Our $20.0 million revolving line of credit may be borrowed, repaid, and reborrowed until May
7, 2012 and includes a number of covenants and restrictions with which we must comply. For example,
our ability to incur debt, grant liens, make investments, enter into mergers and acquisitions, pay
dividends, repurchase our outstanding common stock, change our business, enter into transactions
21
with affiliates, and dispose of assets is limited. To secure the line of credit, we have
granted our lenders a first priority security interest in substantially all of our assets. Through
the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we were in compliance with all loan covenants.

Operating Activities
Our cash flows from operating activities in any period are significantly influenced by the
number of customers using our software, the number and size of new customer contracts, the timing
of renewals of existing customer contracts, and the timing of payments by these customers. Our
largest source of operating cash flows is cash collections from our customers, which results in
decreases to accounts receivable. Our primary uses of cash in operating activities are for
personnel-related expenditures and rent payments. Our cash flows from operating activities in any
period will continue to be significantly affected by the extent to which we add new customers,
renew existing customers, collect payments from our customers and increase personnel to grow our
business.
In the three months ended May 31, 2010, we used approximately $4.4 million of net cash in
operating activities compared to $614,000 in the corresponding period of the prior year. The
increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to an
increase of approximate $2.0 million in loss from operations in the quarter ended May 31, 2010, as we continued to maintain our
infrastructure spending and headcount levels to support our nextGEN service offerings despite the
expected decrease in revenue as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. In
addition, the adverse global economic conditions continued to result in delays in collection of
payments from our customers and delays in the execution of new customer contracts. These factors
resulted in lower deferred revenue and higher accounts receivable balances, and consequently
resulted in a decrease in cash from operations by approximately $1.4 million compared to the
corresponding period of the prior year. Further, other working capital items decreased cash from
operations in the three months ended May 31, 2010 by approximately $330,000 compared to the
corresponding period of the prior year, primarily due to the timing of payments to vendors.
While we expect to generate cash from operating activities in our second quarter ending August
31, 2010, we anticipate that the economic environment may not improve in the near term and, as a
result, the signing of customer contracts and the collection of cash will continue to remain
challenging and unpredictable, thereby impacting our cash generation.
Investing Activities
Our primary investing activities have been capital expenditures on equipment for our data
center, net purchases of marketable securities, and payments for the acquisition of businesses.
In the three months ended May 31, 2010, we used $2.6 million of net cash in investing
activities compared to $4.1 million in the corresponding period of the prior year. In the three
months ended May 31, 2009, we paid $11.3 million cash associated with the Connect3 acquisition,
which was offset by approximately $7.5 million of net cash inflow from maturities of marketable
securities. In the three months ended May 31, 2010, there were no cash payments associated with
business combinations. The net of purchases and maturities of marketable securities resulted in an
approximately $1.6 million net cash outflow. Additionally, we spent approximately $1.0 million in
capital equipment, mainly for our Mesa, Arizona data center.
Financing Activities
Our primary financing activities have been issuances of common stock related to our IPO in
2007, the exercise of stock options, the sale of shares pursuant to our ESPP, and borrowings and
repayments under our credit facilities.
In the three months ended May 31, 2010, we used $677,000 of net cash in financing activities
compared to $443,000 in the corresponding period of the prior year. In April 2010, we used $937,000
to fulfill employee federal and state withholding tax obligations in connection with the vesting
and settlement of certain outstanding RSUs. We withheld 148,523 shares of our common stock in lieu
of the tax withholding obligations upon settlement of these RSUs. In addition, we used $426,000 of
cash in payment of
22
short-term notes payable held by former TradePoint shareholders and received approximately
$686,000 of cash proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our equity incentive plans. In
the three months ended May 31, 2009, we received $845,000 cash proceeds from issuance of common
stock under our equity incentive plans, offset by approximately $1.3 million payment of short-term
notes payable held by a former Connect3 officer and shareholder.
We believe that our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balances at May 31,
2010, along with cash provided by operating activities, if any, will be sufficient to fund our
projected operating requirements for at least the next twelve months. We may need to raise
additional capital or incur debt to continue to fund our operations over the long term. Our future
capital requirements will depend on many factors, including revenues, profits or losses incurred
there from, any expansion of our workforce, the timing and extent of any expansion into new
markets, the timing of introductions of any new functionality and enhancements to our software, the
timing and size of any acquisitions of other companies or assets and the continuing market
acceptance of our software. We may enter into arrangements for potential acquisitions of
complementary businesses, services or technologies, which also could require us to seek additional
equity or debt financing. Additional funds may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all.
In July 2010, we expect to distribute the remaining $1.0 million of cash consideration, less any
amounts used to satisfy any claims for indemnification that we may make for certain breaches of
representations, warranties and covenants, due to the former Connect3 shareholders.
Contractual Obligations
Our principal commitments consist of obligations under operating leases for office space in
the United States, data center facilities and equipment, and merger consideration payable. Our
future operating lease obligations will change if we enter into new lease agreements upon the
expiration of our existing lease agreements or if we enter into new lease agreements to expand our
operations.
At May 31, 2010, the future minimum payments under these commitments, as well as payments due
under our notes payable and other contractual commitments, were as follows (in thousands):

Item 3. |

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
Foreign Currency Risk
As we operate internationally and fund our international operations, our cash and cash
equivalents could be affected by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. For example, we recorded
approximately $4,000 of foreign currency losses and $86,000 of foreign currency gains in the three
months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Certain of our international sales agreements are denominated in the country of origin
currency, and therefore our revenue and receivables are subject to foreign currency risk. Also,
some of our operating expenses and cash flows are denominated in foreign currencies and, thus, are
subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in
the exchange rates for the British Pound and the Euro. We periodically enter into foreign exchange
forward contracts to reduce exposure in non-U.S. dollar denominated receivables. We formally
assess, both at a hedges inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives used in
hedging transactions are highly effective in negating currency risk. At May 31, 2010, we had five
outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts to sell Euros for U.S. dollars through December
2012, with an aggregate notional principal of approximately 5.5 million (or approximately $7.8
million). We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading
purposes.
With respect to our international operations, which are primarily sales and marketing support
entities, we have remeasured our accounts denominated in non-U.S. currencies using the U.S. dollar
as the functional currency and recorded the resulting gains (losses) within other income (expense)
for the period. We remeasure all monetary assets and liabilities at the current exchange rate at
the end of the period, non-monetary assets and liabilities at historical exchange rates, and
revenue and expenses at average exchange rates in effect during the period.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
We had cash and cash equivalents totaling $13.7 million and marketable securities totaling
$47.6 million at May 31, 2010. These amounts were invested primarily in government securities and
corporate notes and bonds with credit ratings of at least A-1 or better, money market funds
registered with the SEC under rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, and interest-bearing
demand deposit accounts. By policy, we limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer and we
do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Our cash and cash equivalents
and marketable securities are held and invested with capital preservation as the primary objective.
Our cash equivalents and marketable securities are subject to market risk due to changes in
interest rates. Fixed-rate interest securities may have their market value adversely impacted due
to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected
if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short
of expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if we are
forced to sell securities that decline in market value due to changes in interest rates. However,
because we classify our marketable securities as held-to-maturity, no gains or losses are
recognized due to changes in interest rates unless such securities are sold prior to maturity or
declines in fair value are determined to be other-than-temporary. We believe that we do not have
any material exposure to changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio as a result of
changes in interest rates. Declines in interest rates, however, will reduce future investment
income, if any. For instance, a fluctuation in interest rates of 100 basis points at May 31, 2010
would result in a change of approximately $610,000 in annual interest income.

Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of May 31, 2010, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
This evaluation (the controls evaluation) was done under the supervision and with the
participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial
Officer (CFO). Disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures that are
designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports
that we file or submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange
Act), such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures
include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed such that information is accumulated
and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the controls evaluation, our CEO and CFO have
concluded that as of May 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide
reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC and to
ensure that material information relating to the Company and our consolidated subsidiaries is made
known to management, including the CEO and CFO, particularly during the period when our periodic
reports are being prepared.
24
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, believe that our disclosure controls and procedures
are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, our management, including the CEO and
CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all
fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable,
not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a
control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of
controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all
control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues
and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations
include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can
occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the
individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of
the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions
about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed
in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system,
misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered
by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial
reporting means a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Legal Proceedings |
We have from time to time become involved in legal matters that arise in the normal course of
business and otherwise. For example, we have recently become involved in a dispute with a large
customer relating to services associated with a development project with that customer. We are
continually assessing the potential impact of the dispute, which is at a relatively early stage.
All unpaid invoice amounts outstanding in connection with this dispute, totaling $500,000, have
been fully reserved pending the outcome of the dispute. There can be no assurance that the dispute
or other third party claims and litigation that may arise in the future will not have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, including
a loss of customers, or subject us to significant financial or other remedies.
Set forth below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in other documents we
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, are risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking
statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other written and oral
communications from time to time. Because of the following factors, as well as other variables
affecting our operating results, past financial performance should not be considered as a reliable
indicator of future performance and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate
results or trends in future periods.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
We may experience significant quarterly fluctuations in our operating results due to a number of
factors, which makes our future operating results difficult to predict and could cause our
operating results to fall below expectations.
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly due to a variety of factors, many
of which are outside of our control. As a result, comparing our operating results on a
period-to-period basis may not be meaningful. You should not rely on our past results as an
indication of our future performance. If our operating results fall below the expectations of
investors or securities analysts or below the guidance, if any, we provide to the market, the price
of our common stock could decline substantially.
Factors that may affect our operating results include:
|
|
|
our ability to increase sales to existing customers and to renew agreements with our
existing customers at comparable prices, particularly larger retail customers; |
|
|
|
our ability to attract new customers, particularly larger retail and consumer products
customers in both domestic and foreign markets; |
|
|
|
our ability to achieve success with our nextGEN strategy; |
|
|
|
changes in our pricing policies or those of our competitors, or pricing pressure on our
software services; |
|
|
|
periodic fluctuations in demand for our software and services; |
|
|
|
volatility in the sales of our solutions on a quarterly basis and timing of the execution
of new and renewal agreements within such quarterly periods; |
|
|
|
reductions in customers budgets for information technology purchases and delays in their
purchasing cycles, particularly in light of recent adverse global economic conditions; |
|
|
|
our ability to develop and implement in a timely manner new software and enhancements
that meet customer requirements, including our ability to develop certain substantial and
customer-specific functionality as required under certain customer engagements; |
|
|
|
our ability to hire, train and retain key personnel; |
26
|
|
|
any significant changes in the competitive dynamics of our market, including new entrants
or substantial discounting of products; |
|
|
|
our ability to control costs, including our operating expenses; |
|
|
|
any significant change in our facilities-related costs; |
|
|
|
the timing of hiring personnel and of large expenses such as those for trade shows and
third-party professional services; |
|
|
|
general economic conditions in the retail and CP markets; |
|
|
|
our ability to appropriately resolve any disputes with customers; |
|
|
|
outages and capacity constraints with our hosting partners; and |
|
|
|
the impact of a recession or any other adverse global economic conditions on our
business, including a delay in signing or a failure to sign significant customer agreements. |
We have in the past experienced, and we may continue to experience, significant variations in
our level of sales on a quarterly basis. In recent periods, several of our customers have delayed
or failed to renew their agreements with us upon expiration, or have renewed at lower prices. Such
variations in our sales, or delays in signing or a failure to sign or renew significant customer
agreements, have led to significant fluctuations in our cash flows and deferred revenue on a
quarterly and annual basis. For example, we used approximately $6.8 million of net cash in
operations in fiscal 2010, primarily due to the use of $10.5 million of net cash in operations in
the third quarter, while we generated approximately $13.8 million of net cash from operations in
fiscal 2009. Our operating results have been impacted, and will likely continue to be impacted in
the near term, by any delays in signing or failures to sign significant customer agreements. If the
global economic environment does not improve in the short term and delays in signing customer
agreements continue in any future fiscal quarters, our future operating results for any such
quarter and for subsequent quarters may be below the expectations of securities analysts or
investors, which may result in a decline in our stock price.
In September 2009, we entered into a lease agreement for office space in San Mateo, California
that we use as our new corporate headquarters, replacing our then-existing corporate headquarters
in San Carlos, California. The lease has a total lease term of eight years with an initial
non-cancellable lease term of five years commencing December 1, 2009. The aggregate minimum lease
commitment is approximately $10.1 million. Upon commencement of this lease, our monthly rent
payments increased significantly both immediately and in the long term over our monthly rent
payments for our prior space, and quarterly real estate-related operating expenses that we incur
increased by approximately $207,000. If our revenue does not increase or our operating expenses do
not decrease to offset this increase in real estate-related operating expenses, or if we are unable
to find suitable tenants to sublease a significant portion of this space in the event we are unable
to sufficiently grow our business in the future, then our results of operations and financial
position will be materially adversely impacted.
In addition, in the past, certain of our customers have filed for bankruptcy protection. For
example, during fiscal 2010, two of our customers, Bi-Lo LLC and The Penn Traffic Company, filed
voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Our
agreements with these customers have subsequently been terminated. It is possible that any
customers or potential customers seeking bankruptcy protection could seek to cancel their
agreements with us, or could elect not to purchase new or additional services or renew such
services with us, or could fail to pay us according to our contractual terms, any of which would
negatively impact our results of operations or financial position in the future.
We have a history of losses and we may not achieve or sustain profitability in the future.
We have a history of losses and have not achieved profitability in any fiscal year. We
experienced net losses of $11.8 million, $5.0 million and $4.5 million in fiscal 2010, fiscal 2009
and fiscal 2008, respectively, and a net loss of $5.9 million in the three months ended May 31,
2010. At May 31, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of $95.1 million. We expect to continue to
incur net losses in fiscal 2011 and perhaps beyond. In addition, our cost of revenue and operating
expenses may increase in future periods as we implement initiatives to continue to grow our
business. If the recent adverse global economic environment continues to negatively impact our
business and our revenue does not increase to offset these expected increases in cost of revenue
and operating expenses, we will not be profitable. For example, in fiscal 2010 our costs grew
faster than our revenue such that our net loss increased to $11.8 million in fiscal 2010 compared
to $5.0 million in fiscal 2009. In the near term, our revenue growth may continue to slow, or
27
revenue itself may decline from prior periods. For instance, our revenue for the quarter ended May 31,
2010 declined from the immediately preceding quarter. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we
will be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future.
The effects of recent adverse global economic conditions may adversely impact our business,
operating results or financial condition.
Recent adverse global economic conditions have caused a general tightening in the credit
markets, lower levels of liquidity, increases in the rates of default and bankruptcy, extreme
volatility in credit, equity and fixed income markets, and economic contraction. The retail and
consumer products industries have been and may continue to be especially hard hit by these economic
developments, which in recent periods has resulted in some customers delaying or not entering into
new agreements or renewing their existing agreements with us. In addition, current or potential
customers may not have funds to enter into or renew their agreements for our software and services,
which could cause them to delay, decrease or cancel purchases of our software and services, to
renew at lower prices, or to not pay us or to delay paying us for previously purchased software and
services. Financial institution failures may cause us to incur increased expenses or make it more
difficult either to utilize our existing debt capacity or otherwise obtain financing for our
operations, investing activities (including the financing of any future acquisitions), or financing
activities. Finally, our investment portfolio, which includes short-term debt securities, is
subject to general credit, liquidity, counterparty, market and interest rate risks that may be
exacerbated by the ongoing global financial conditions. If the banking system or the fixed income,
credit or equity markets deteriorate or remain volatile, our investment portfolio may be impacted
and the values and liquidity of our investments could be adversely affected.
We depend on a small number of customers, which are primarily large retailers, and our growth, if
any, depends upon our ability to add new and retain existing large customers.
We derive a significant percentage of our revenue from a relatively small number of customers,
and the loss of any one or more of those customers could decrease our revenue and harm our current
and future operating results. Our retail customers accounted for 79% of our revenue in the three
months ended May 31, 2010. Our three largest customers accounted for approximately 31% and 29% of
our revenue in the three months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In addition, in June
2010, one of our existing customers signed a multi-year agreement for substantially all of our
current and certain potential future nextGEN software services, and we believe this agreement could
result in this customer representing approximately 20% of our revenue during fiscal 2011. Although
our largest customers may vary from period to period, we anticipate that we will continue to depend
on revenue from a relatively small number of our large retail customers. We have recently become
involved in a dispute with a large customer relating to a development project with that customer.
See Risk Factors Third-party claims and litigation could seriously harm our business. Further,
our ability to grow revenue depends on our ability to increase sales to existing customers, to
renew agreements with our existing customers and to attract new customers. In fiscal 2010 and three
months ended May 31, 2010, we did not add any significant large new retail customers. Further, our
revenue for the quarter ended May 31, 2010 declined from the immediately preceding quarter. If
economic factors, including the recent adverse global economic conditions, were to have a continued
or increasingly negative impact on the retail market segment, it could reduce the amount that these
customers spend on information technology, which would adversely affect our revenue and results of
operations.
Our business depends substantially on customers renewing their agreements for our software. Any
decline in our customer renewals would harm our operating results.
To maintain and grow our revenue, we must achieve and maintain high levels of customer
renewals. We sell our software pursuant to agreements with initial terms that are generally from
one to three years in length. Our customers have no obligation to renew their agreements after the
expiration of their term, and we cannot assure you that these agreements will be renewed on
favorable terms, renewed timely, or at all. The fees we charge for our solutions vary based on a
number of factors, including the software, service and hosting components provided, the size of the
customer, and the duration of the agreement term. Our initial agreements with customers may include
fees for software, services or hosting components that may not be needed upon renewal. As a
consequence, if we renew these agreements, we may receive lower total fees. In addition, if an
agreement is renewed for a term longer than the preceding term, we may receive total fees in excess
of total fees received in the initial agreement but a smaller average annual fee because we
generally charge lower annual fees in connection with agreements with longer terms. In any of these
situations, we would need to sell additional software, services or hosting in order to maintain the
same level of annual fees from that customer. There can be no assurance that we will be able to
renew these agreements, sell additional software or services or sell to new customers. In recent
periods certain of our customers have elected not to renew their agreements with us or have renewed
on less favorable terms. We have limited historical data with respect to customer renewals, so we
may not be able to predict future customer renewal rates and amounts accurately. Our customers
renewal rates may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including their
satisfaction or dissatisfaction with our software, the price of our software, the prices of
competing products and services, consolidation within our customer base or reductions in our
customers information technology spending levels. If our customers do not renew their agreements
28
for our software for any reason, or if they renew on less favorable terms, our revenue will
decline and our cash flow will be negatively impacted.
Because we generally recognize revenue ratably over the terms of our customer agreements, the lack
of renewals or the failure to enter into new agreements may not immediately be reflected in our
statement of operations in any significant manner but may negatively affect revenue in future
quarters.
We generally recognize revenue ratably over the terms of our customer agreements and invoice
our customers in advance for annual use of our software and certain implementation services on a
fixed fee basis. As a result, most of our quarterly revenue results from agreements entered into
during previous quarters. Consequently, a decline in new or renewed agreements in a particular
quarter, as well as any renewals at reduced annual dollar amounts, will not be reflected in any
significant manner in our revenue for that quarter, but it will negatively affect revenue in future
quarters. For example, in fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2010 the global economic environment deteriorated
compared to prior periods. This has resulted in delays in the execution of new and some renewal
customer contracts, with some customers or potential customers electing not to enter into new or
renewal contracts, and some other customers renewing at lower prices. Accordingly, our revenue
growth has slowed and even declined in the quarter ended May 31, 2010 compared to the immediately
prior quarter, and our deferred revenue balance at February 28, 2010 was lower compared to prior
periods, which may adversely impact our revenue in the future.
We may expand through acquisitions of and/or partnerships with other companies, which may divert
our managements attention and result in unexpected operating and technology integration
difficulties, increased costs and dilution to our stockholders.
Our business strategy may include acquiring complementary software, technologies, or
businesses. For instance, in February 2009, we acquired Connect3, a provider of advertising
planning and execution software. Acquisitions may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and
expenditures. In particular, we may encounter difficulties in assimilating or integrating the
businesses, technologies, services, products, personnel, or operations of the acquired companies
(including those of Connect3), especially if the key personnel of the acquired company choose not
to work for us, and we may have difficulty retaining the existing customers or signing new
customers of any acquired business or migrating them to a software-as-a-service model. For
instance, we are currently integrating Connect3s technology, which was offered solely on an
installed, behind-the-firewall basis, into our DemandTec End-to-End Promotion Management solution,
and we may not be successful in completing this integration on a timely basis or at all.
Acquisitions may also disrupt our ongoing business, divert our resources and require significant
management attention that would otherwise be available for ongoing development of our current
business. We also may be required to use a substantial amount of our cash or issue equity
securities to complete an acquisition, which could deplete our cash reserves and dilute our
existing stockholders and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Moreover, we
cannot assure you that the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, including our revenue or return
on investment assumptions, would be realized or that we would not be exposed to unknown
liabilities.
In addition, an acquisition may negatively impact our results of operations because we may
incur additional expenses relating to one-time charges, write-downs, amortization of intangible
assets, or tax-related expenses. For example, our acquisition of TradePoint in November 2006
resulted in approximately $911,000 of amortization of purchased intangible assets in fiscal 2010,
and $967,000 in each of fiscal 2009 and 2008, and will result in amortization of approximately
$800,000 in fiscal 2011 with declining amounts for more than six years thereafter. Our acquisition
of Connect3 resulted in the write-off of $150,000 of in-process research and development costs in
fiscal 2009 and amortization of purchased intangible assets of approximately $2.2 million in fiscal
2010, and will result in approximately $1.8 million and $626,000 of amortization expense in fiscal
2011 and 2012, respectively.
We might require additional capital to support our business growth, and this capital might not be
available on acceptable terms, or at all.
We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth and may require
additional funds to respond to business challenges, including continued economic concerns as well
as the need to develop new software or enhance our existing software, enhance our operating
infrastructure and acquire complementary businesses and technologies. In May 2009, we amended our
loan agreement that we had entered in April 2008 with a financial institution to, among other
things, extend the maturity date to May 7, 2012 and increase our revolving line of credit from
$15.0 million to $20.0 million. However, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings or
enter into additional credit agreements to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds
through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could
suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences
and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing secured by us
in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital-raising activities and
other financial and operational matters
29
that make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business
opportunities, including potential acquisitions. In addition, we may not be able to obtain
additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate
financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to
support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited.
Our sales cycles are long and unpredictable, and our sales efforts require considerable time and
expense.
We market our software to large retailers and CP companies, and sales to these customers are
complex efforts that involve educating our customers about the use and benefits of our software,
including its technical capabilities. Customers typically undertake a significant evaluation
process that can result in a lengthy sales cycle, in some cases over 12 months. We spend
substantial time, effort, and money in our sales efforts without any assurance that our efforts
will generate long-term agreements. In addition, customer sales decisions are frequently influenced
by global macroeconomic factors, budget constraints, multiple approvals, and unplanned
administrative, processing and other delays. If sales expected from a specific customer are not
realized, our revenue and, thus, our future operating results could be adversely impacted.
Our business will be adversely affected if the retail and CP industries do not widely adopt
technology solutions incorporating scientific techniques to understand and predict consumer demand
to make pricing and other merchandising decisions.
Our software addresses the new and emerging market of applying econometric modeling and
optimization techniques through software to enable retailers and CP companies to understand and
predict consumer demand in order to improve their pricing, promotion, and other merchandising and
marketing decisions. These decisions are fundamental to retailers and CP companies; accordingly,
our target customers may be hesitant to accept the risk inherent in applying and relying on new
technologies or methodologies to supplant traditional methods. Our business will not be successful
if retailers and CP companies do not accept the use of software to enable more strategic pricing
and other merchandising decisions.
If we are unable to continue to enhance our current software, which is becoming increasingly
complex, or to develop or acquire new software to address changing business requirements, we may
not be able to attract or retain customers.
Our ability to attract new customers, renew agreements with existing customers and maintain or
increase revenue from existing customers will depend in large part on our ability to anticipate the
changing needs of the retail and CP industries, to enhance our increasingly complex existing
software and to introduce new software that meet those needs. Certain of our implementation and
integration engagements, particularly with respect to initial deployment with larger customers,
have become increasingly complex. Further, certain of our engagements require, and other future
engagements may require, us to develop certain substantial and customer-specific functionality.
Such engagements can be significantly more time-consuming and complicated than our other customer
engagements. Any new software may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner and may
not achieve market acceptance, meet customer expectations or contractual commitments, or generate
revenue sufficient to recoup the cost of development or acquisition of such software. For example,
we have not yet completed development or achieved market acceptance of certain components of our
solutions underlying our nextGEN strategy with respect to
which we have made certain commitments to engage in development
efforts on a commercially reasonable basis. Further, we have recently become involved in a dispute with a large customer relating
to a development project with that customer. If we are unable to successfully develop or acquire
new software and enhance our existing applications to meet customer requirements, we may not be
able to attract or retain customers.
Understanding and predicting consumer behavior is dependent upon the continued availability of
accurate and relevant data from retailers and third-party data aggregators. If we are unable to
obtain access to relevant data, or if we do not enhance our core science and econometric modeling
methodologies to adjust for changing consumer behavior, our software may become less competitive
or obsolete.
The ability of our econometric models to forecast consumer demand depends upon the assumptions
we make in designing the models and in the quality of the data we use to build them. Our models
rely on point of sale (POS), transaction log or loyalty program data provided to us directly by our
retail customers and by third-party data aggregators. Consumer behavior is affected by many
factors, including evolving consumer needs and preferences, new competitive product offerings, more
targeted merchandising and marketing, emerging industry standards, and changing technology. Data
adequately representing all of these factors may not be readily available in certain geographies or
in certain markets. In addition, the relative importance of the variables that influence demand
will change over time, particularly with the continued growth of the Internet as a viable retail
alternative and the emergence of non-traditional marketing channels. If our retail customers are
unable to collect POS, transaction log or loyalty program data or we are unable to obtain such data
from them or from third-party data aggregators, or if we fail to enhance our core science and
modeling
30
methodologies to adjust for changes in consumer behavior, customers may delay or decide
against purchases or renewals of our software.
We rely on our management team and will need additional personnel to grow our business, and the
loss of one or more key employees or our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel could
harm our business.
Our success depends to a significant degree on our ability to attract, retain and motivate our
management team and our other key personnel. Our professional services organization and other
customer-facing groups, in particular, play an instrumental role in ensuring our customers
satisfaction. In addition, our science, engineering, and modeling team requires experts in
econometrics and advanced mathematics, and there are a limited number of individuals with the
education and training necessary to fill these roles should we experience employee departures. All
of our employees work for us on an at-will basis, and there is no assurance that any employee will
remain with us. Our competitors may be successful in recruiting and hiring members of our executive
management team or other key employees, and it may be difficult for us to find suitable
replacements on a timely basis. Many of the members of our management team and key employees are
substantially vested in their shares of our common stock or options to purchase shares of our
common stock, and therefore retention of these employees may be difficult in the highly competitive
market and geography in which we operate our business.
We have derived most of our revenue from sales to our retail customers. If our software is not
widely accepted by CP companies, our ability to grow our revenue and achieve our strategic
objectives will be harmed.
To date, we have derived most of our revenue from retail customers. In the three months ended
May 31, 2010, we generated approximately 79% of our revenue from sales to retail customers, while
we generated approximately 21% of our revenue from sales to CP companies. In the three months ended
May 31, 2009, we generated approximately 81% of our revenue from sales to retail customers while we
generated approximately 19% of our revenue from sales to CP companies. In order to grow our revenue
and to achieve our long-term strategic objectives, it is important for us to expand our sales to
derive a more significant portion of our revenue from new and existing CP customers. If CP
companies do not widely accept our software, our revenue growth and business will be harmed.
We face intense competition that could prevent us from increasing our revenue and prevent us from
becoming profitable.
The market for our software is highly competitive and we expect competition to intensify in
the future. Competitors vary in size and in the scope and breadth of the products and services they
offer. Currently, we face competition from traditional enterprise software application vendors such
as Oracle Corporation and SAP AG, niche retail software vendors such as KSS Group (recently
acquired by dunnhumby USA), and statistical tool vendors such as SAS, Inc. To a lesser extent, we
also compete or potentially compete with marketing information providers for the CP industry such
as The Nielsen Company and Information Resources, Inc., as well as business consulting firms such
as McKinsey & Company, Inc., Deloitte & Touche LLP and Accenture LLP, which offer merchandising
consulting services and analyses. Because the market for our solutions is relatively new, we expect
to face additional competition from other established and emerging companies and, potentially, from
internally-developed applications. This competition could result in increased pricing pressure,
reduced profit margins, increased sales and marketing expenses and a failure to increase, or the
loss of, market share.
Competitive offerings may have better performance, lower prices and broader acceptance than
our software. Many of our current or potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater
name recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical, sales,
research and development, marketing and other resources than we have. As a result, our competition
may be able to offer more effective software or may opt to include software competitive to our
software as part of broader, enterprise software solutions at little or no charge.
We may not be able to maintain or improve our competitive position against our current or
future competitors, and our failure to do so could seriously harm our business.
We rely on three third-party service providers to host our software, and any interruptions or
delays in services from these third parties could impair the delivery of our software as a
service.
We deliver our software to customers over the Internet. The software is hosted in three
third-party data centers located in San Jose, California, Sacramento, California, and Mesa,
Arizona. We do not control the operation of any of these facilities, and we rely on these service
providers to provide all power, connectivity and physical security. These facilities could be
vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss,
telecommunications failures and similar events. They are also subject to break-ins, computer
viruses, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and other misconduct. The occurrence of a natural
disaster or
31
intentional misconduct, a decision to close these facilities without adequate notice or other
unanticipated problems could result in lengthy interruptions in our services. Additionally, because
we currently rely upon disk and tape bond back-up procedures, but do not operate or maintain a
fully-redundant back-up site, there is an increased risk of service interruption.
If our security measures are breached and unauthorized access is obtained to our customers data,
our operations may be perceived as not being secure, customers may curtail or stop using our
software and we may incur significant liabilities.
Our operations involve the storage and transmission of our customers confidential
information, and security breaches could expose us to a risk of loss of this information,
litigation and possible liability. If our security measures are breached as a result of third-party
action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, and, as a result, someone obtains unauthorized
access to our customers data, our reputation will be damaged, our business may suffer and we could
incur significant liability. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage
systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, we may
be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. If an
actual or perceived breach of our security occurs, the market perception of the effectiveness of
our security measures could be harmed and we could lose potential sales and existing customers.
If we fail to respond to rapidly changing technological developments or evolving industry
standards, our software may become less competitive or obsolete.
Because our software is designed to operate on a variety of network, hardware and software
platforms using standard Internet tools and protocols, we will need to modify and enhance our
software continuously to keep pace with changes in Internet-related hardware, software,
communication, browser and database technologies. Furthermore, uncertainties about the timing and
nature of new network platforms or technologies, or modifications to existing platforms or
technologies, could increase our research and development expenses. If we are unable to respond in
a timely manner to these rapid technological developments, our software may become less marketable
and less competitive or obsolete.
Our use of open source software and third-party technology could impose limitations on our ability
to commercialize our software.
We incorporate open source software into our software. Although we monitor our use of open
source software closely, the terms of many open source licenses have not been interpreted by United
States courts, and there is a risk that these licenses could be construed in a manner that imposes
unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to commercialize our software. In that
event, we could be required to seek licenses from third parties in order to continue offering our
software, to re-engineer our technology or to discontinue offering our software in the event
re-engineering cannot be accomplished on a timely basis, any of which could adversely affect our
business, operating results and financial condition. We also incorporate certain third-party
technologies, including software programs and algorithms, into our software and may desire to
incorporate additional third-party technologies in the future. Licenses to new third-party
technologies may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, our competitive position could be
harmed and we could be required to incur significant expenses in order to enforce our rights.
To protect our proprietary technology, including our core statistical and mathematic models
and our software, we rely on trade secret, patent, copyright, service mark, trademark and other
proprietary rights laws and confidentiality agreements with employees and third parties, all of
which offer only limited protection. Despite our efforts, the steps we have taken to protect our
proprietary rights may not be adequate to preclude misappropriation of our proprietary information
or infringement of our intellectual property rights, and our ability to police that
misappropriation or infringement is uncertain, particularly in countries outside of the United
States, including China where a third party conducts a portion of our development activity for us.
Further, we do not know whether any of our pending patent applications will result in the issuance
of patents or whether the examination process will require us to narrow our claims. Our current
patents and any future patents that may be issued may be contested, circumvented or invalidated.
Moreover, the rights granted under any issued patents may not provide us with proprietary
protection or competitive advantages, and, as with any technology, competitors may be able to
develop technologies similar or superior to our own now or in the future.
Protecting against the unauthorized use of our trade secrets, patents, copyrights, service
marks, trademarks and other proprietary rights is expensive, difficult and not always possible.
Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce or defend our intellectual property rights, to
protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of
others. This litigation could be costly and divert management resources, either of which could harm
our business, operating results and financial condition. Furthermore, many of our current and
potential competitors have the ability to dedicate substantially greater resources to enforcing
32
their intellectual property rights than we do. Accordingly, despite our efforts, we may not be
able to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating our intellectual property.
We cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent the unauthorized use or the
reverse engineering of our technology. Moreover, others may independently develop technologies that
are competitive to ours or infringe our intellectual property. The enforcement of our intellectual
property rights also depends on our legal actions against these infringers being successful, but we
cannot be sure these actions will be successful, even when our rights have been infringed.
Furthermore, effective patent, trademark, service mark, copyright and trade secret protection may
not be available in every country in which our services are available or where we have development
work performed. In addition, the legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope
of protection of intellectual property rights in Internet-related industries are uncertain and
still evolving.
Material defects or errors in our software or any failure to meet service level agreements with
our customers could harm our reputation, result in significant expense to us and impair our
ability to sell our software.
Our software is inherently complex and may contain material defects or errors that may cause
it to fail to perform in accordance with customer expectations. Any defects that cause
interruptions to the availability of our software could result in lost or delayed market acceptance
and sales, require us to provide sales credits or issue refunds to our customers, cause existing
customers not to renew their agreements and prospective customers not to purchase our software,
divert development resources, hurt our reputation and expose us to claims for liability. After the
release of our software, defects or errors may also be identified from time to time by our internal
team and by our customers. In addition, we have occasionally entered into service level agreements
with our customers warranting defined levels of uptime reliability and software performance and
permitting those customers to receive service credits or discounted future services, or to
terminate their agreements in the event that we fail to meet those levels. The costs incurred in
correcting any material defects or errors in our software or in failing to meet any such service
levels may be substantial.
Because our long-term success depends, in part, on our ability to expand sales of our software to
customers located outside of the United States, our business may be increasingly susceptible to
risks associated with international operations.
We have limited experience operating in international jurisdictions. In each of fiscal 2010
and 2009, 14% of our revenue was attributable to sales to companies located outside the United
States. Our inexperience in operating our business outside of the United States increases the risk
that any international expansion efforts that we may undertake will not be successful. In addition,
conducting international operations subjects us to new risks that we have not generally faced in
the United States. These include:
|
|
|
fluctuations in currency exchange rates; |
|
|
|
|
unexpected changes in foreign regulatory requirements; |
|
|
|
|
localization of our software, including translation of the interface of our software into
foreign languages and creation of localized agreements; |
|
|
|
|
longer accounts receivable payment cycles and difficulties in collecting accounts
receivable; |
|
|
|
|
tariffs and trade barriers and other regulatory or contractual limitations on our ability
to sell or develop our software in certain international markets; |
|
|
|
|
difficulties in managing and staffing international operations; |
|
|
|
|
potentially adverse tax consequences, including the complexities of international value
added tax systems and restrictions on the repatriation of earnings; |
|
|
|
|
the burdens of complying with a wide variety of international laws and different legal
standards, including local data privacy laws and local consumer protection laws that could
regulate retailers permitted pricing and promotion practices; |
|
|
|
|
political, social and economic instability abroad, terrorist attacks and security
concerns in general; and |
|
|
|
|
reduced or varied protection of intellectual property rights in some countries. |
The occurrence of any of these risks could negatively affect our international business and,
consequently, our results of operations.
33
Because portions of our software development, sustaining engineering, quality assurance and
testing, operations and customer support are provided by a third party in China, our business is
susceptible to risks associated with having substantial operations overseas.
Portions of our software development, sustaining engineering, quality assurance and testing,
operations and customer support are provided by Sonata Services Limited, or Sonata, a third party
located in Shanghai, China. As of May 31, 2010, in addition to our 147 employees in our operations,
customer support, science, product management and engineering groups located in the United States,
an additional 65 Sonata personnel were dedicated to our projects. Remotely coordinating a third
party in China requires significant management attention and substantial resources, and there can
be no assurance that we will be successful in coordinating these activities. Furthermore, if there
is a disruption to these operations in China, it will require that substantial management attention
and time be devoted to achieving resolution. If Sonata were to stop providing these services or if
there was widespread departure of trained Sonata personnel, this could cause a disruption in our
product development process, quality assurance and product release cycles and customer support
organizations and require us to incur additional costs to replace and train new personnel.
Enforcement of intellectual property rights and contractual rights may be more difficult in
China. China has not developed a fully integrated legal system, and the array of new laws and
regulations may not be sufficient to cover all aspects of economic activities in China. In
particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited
volume of published decisions and their non-binding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of
these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. Accordingly, the enforcement of our contractual
arrangements with Sonata, our confidentiality agreements with each Sonata employee dedicated to our
work, and the interpretation of the laws governing this relationship are subject to uncertainty.
If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce accurate
financial statements could be impaired, which could adversely affect our operating results, our
ability to operate our business and investors views of us.
Ensuring that we have internal financial and accounting controls and procedures adequate to
produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort that
needs to be re-evaluated frequently. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we
maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and
procedures. In particular, we are required to perform annual system and process evaluation and
testing of our internal control over financial reporting to allow management and our independent
registered public accounting firm to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In the future, our
testing, or the subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm, may reveal
deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material
weaknesses. Our compliance with Section 404 requires that we incur substantial accounting expense
and expend significant management time on compliance-related issues. Moreover, if we are not able
to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in the future, or if we or our independent
registered public accounting firm identifies deficiencies in our internal control over financial
reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of our common stock could
decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the NASDAQ Stock Market, the
Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, or other regulatory authorities, which would require
additional financial and management resources.
Furthermore, implementing any appropriate future changes to our internal control over
financial reporting may entail substantial costs in order to modify our existing accounting
systems, may take a significant period of time to complete and may distract our officers, directors
and employees from the operation of our business. These changes, however, may not be effective in
maintaining the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, and any failure to
maintain that adequacy, or consequent inability to produce accurate financial statements on a
timely basis, could increase our operating costs and could materially impair our ability to operate
our business. In addition, investors perceptions that our internal control over financial
reporting is inadequate or that we are unable to produce accurate financial statements may
adversely affect our stock price. While neither we nor our independent registered public accounting
firm has identified deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed
to be material weaknesses, there can be no assurance that material weaknesses will not be
subsequently identified.
If one or more of our key strategic relationships were to become impaired or if these third
parties were to align with our competitors, our business could be harmed.
We have relationships with a number of third parties whose products, technologies and services
complement our software. Many of these third parties also compete with us or work with our
competitors. If we are unable to maintain our relationships with the key third parties that
currently recommend our software or that provide consulting services on our software
implementations or if these third parties were to begin to recommend our competitors products and
services, our business could be harmed.
34
Claims by others that we infringe their proprietary technology could harm our business.
Third parties could claim that our software infringes their proprietary rights. In recent
years, there has been significant litigation involving patents and other intellectual property
rights, and we expect that infringement claims may increase as the number of products and
competitors in our market increases and overlaps occur. In addition, to the extent that we gain
greater visibility and market exposure as a public company, we will face a higher risk of being the
subject of intellectual property infringement claims. Any claims of infringement by a third party,
even those without merit, could cause us to incur substantial defense costs and could distract our
management from our business. Furthermore, a party making such a claim, if successful, could secure
a judgment that requires us to pay substantial damages. A judgment could also include an injunction
or other court order that could prevent us from offering our software. In addition, we might be
required to seek a license for the use of the infringed intellectual property, which may not be
available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Alternatively, we might be required to
develop non-infringing technology, which could require significant effort and expense and might
ultimately not be successful.
Third parties may also assert infringement claims relating to our software against our
customers. Any of these claims might require us to initiate or defend potentially protracted and
costly litigation on their behalf, regardless of the merits of these claims, because in certain
situations we agree to indemnify our customers from claims of infringement of proprietary rights of
third parties. If any of these claims succeeds, we might be forced to pay damages on behalf of our
customers, which could materially adversely affect our business.
Changes in financial accounting standards or practices may cause adverse, unexpected financial
reporting fluctuations and affect our reported results of operations.
A change in accounting standards or practices could have a significant effect on our reported
results and might affect our reporting of transactions completed before the change is effective.
New accounting pronouncements and varying interpretations of accounting pronouncements have
occurred in the past and may occur in the future. Changes to existing rules or the questioning of
current practices may adversely affect our reported financial results or the way we conduct our
business.
We have expanded our operations in recent periods. If we fail to manage this expansion
effectively, we may be unable to execute our business plan, maintain high levels of customer
service or address competitive challenges adequately.
We have expanded our overall business, headcount and operations in recent periods. For
instance, our headcount grew from 198 employees at February 28, 2007 to 313 employees at May 31,
2010. Headcount in research and development increased from 99 employees at February 28, 2007 to 117
employees at May 31, 2010. We may need to continue to expand our operations in order to increase
our customer base and to develop additional software. Increases in our customer base could create
challenges in our ability to implement our software and support our customers. In addition, we will
be required to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our
reporting procedures. As a result, we may be unable to manage our business effectively in the
future, which may negatively impact our operating results.
Evolving regulation of the Internet may affect us adversely.
As Internet commerce continues to evolve, increasing regulation by federal, state or foreign
agencies becomes more likely. For example, we believe increased regulation is likely in the area of
data privacy, and laws and regulations applying to the solicitation, collection, processing, or use
of personal or consumer information could affect our customers ability to use and share data,
potentially reducing demand for our software and restricting our ability to store and process data
for our customers. In addition, taxation of software provided over the Internet or other charges
imposed by government agencies or by private organizations for accessing the Internet may also be
imposed. Any regulation imposing greater fees for Internet use or restricting information exchange
over the Internet could result in a decline in the use of the Internet and the viability of
Internet-based software, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.
Third-party claims and litigation could seriously harm our business.
We have from time to time become involved in legal matters that arise in the normal course of
business and otherwise. For example, we have recently become involved in a dispute with a large
customer relating to a development project with that customer. We are continuing to assess the
potential impact of the dispute, which is at a relatively early stage. There can be no assurance
that the dispute or other third party claims and litigation that may arise in the future will not
have a material adverse effect on our business,
35
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, including a loss of customers, or
subject us to significant financial or other remedies.
We incur significant costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management is
required to devote substantial time to compliance efforts.
As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and the NASDAQ Global Market
impose additional requirements on public companies, including enhanced corporate governance
practices. For example, the listing requirements for the NASDAQ Global Market provide that listed
companies satisfy certain corporate governance requirements relating to independent directors,
audit committees, distribution of annual and interim reports, stockholder meetings, stockholder
approvals, solicitation of proxies, conflicts of interest, stockholder voting rights and codes of
business conduct. Our management and other personnel need to devote a substantial amount of time to
complying with these requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations have increased our legal
and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly. These rules
and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to
serve on our board of directors and board committees or as executive officers and more expensive
for us to obtain or maintain director and officer liability insurance.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
The trading price of our common stock has been volatile in the past, may continue to be volatile,
and may decline.
The trading price of our common stock has fluctuated widely in the past and may do so in the
future. Further, our common stock has limited trading history. Factors affecting the trading price
of our common stock, many of which are beyond our control, could include:
|
|
|
variations in our operating results, including any decline in our revenues; |
|
|
|
|
announcements of technological innovations, new products and services, acquisitions,
strategic alliances or significant agreements by us or by our competitors; |
|
|
|
|
recruitment or departure of key personnel; |
|
|
|
|
the financial projections we may provide to the public, any changes in these projections
or our failure to meet these projections; |
|
|
|
|
changes in the estimates of our operating results or changes in recommendations by any
securities analysts that elect to follow our common stock; |
|
|
|
|
market conditions in our industry, the retail industry and the economy as a whole; |
|
|
|
|
price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market; |
|
|
|
|
lawsuits threatened or filed against us or other disputes; |
|
|
|
|
adoption or modification of regulations, policies, procedures or programs applicable to
our business; and |
|
|
|
|
the volume of trading in our common stock, including sales upon exercise of outstanding
options. |
In addition, if the market for technology stocks or the stock market in general experiences
loss of investor confidence as has happened in recent periods, the trading price of our common
stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, operating results, or financial
condition. The trading price of our common stock might also decline in reaction to events that
affect other companies in our industry even if these events do not directly affect us. Some
companies that have had volatile market prices for their securities have had securities class
actions filed against them. A suit filed against us, regardless of its merits or outcome, could
cause us to incur substantial costs and could divert managements attention.
36
Future sales of shares by existing stockholders, or the perception that such sales may occur,
could cause our stock price to decline.
If our existing stockholders, particularly our directors and executive officers and other
significant stockholders, sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or are
perceived by the public market as intending to sell, the trading price of our common stock could
decline. During fiscal 2010 Crosspoint Venture Partners, previously our largest stockholder,
distributed all of the shares of our common stock held by them to their limited partners, which may
impact, or may have impacted, our stock price adversely.
If securities analysts do not publish research or publish unfavorable research about our business,
our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock depends in part on the research and reports that
securities analysts publish about us or our business. We have limited research coverage by
securities analysts. If we do not obtain further securities analyst coverage, or if one or more of
the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock or publish unfavorable research about our business,
our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our
company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which
could cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.
Insiders and other significant stockholders have substantial control over us and will be able to
influence corporate matters.
At May 31, 2010, our directors, executive officers and holders of ten percent or more of our
common stock beneficially owned, in the aggregate, approximately 21.6% of our outstanding common
stock. As a result, these stockholders will be able to exercise significant influence over all
matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of
significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of our company or its assets.
This concentration of ownership could limit your ability to influence corporate matters and may
have the effect of delaying or preventing a third party from acquiring control over us.
Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law could discourage, delay or
prevent a change in control of our company and may affect the trading price of our common stock.
We are a Delaware corporation and the anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware General
Corporation Law may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control by prohibiting us from
engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after
the person becomes an interested stockholder, even if a change in control would be beneficial to
our existing stockholders. In addition, our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and
restated bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a change in our management or control over us that
stockholders may consider favorable. Our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and
restated bylaws:
|
|
|
authorize the issuance of blank check preferred stock that could be issued by our board
of directors to thwart a takeover attempt; |
|
|
|
|
establish a classified board of directors, as a result of which the successors to the
directors whose terms have expired will be elected to serve from the time of election and
qualification until the third annual meeting following their election; |
|
|
|
|
require that directors only be removed from office for cause and only upon a majority
stockholder vote; |
|
|
|
|
provide that vacancies on our board of directors, including newly created directorships,
may be filled only by a majority vote of directors then in office; |
|
|
|
|
limit who may call special meetings of stockholders; |
|
|
|
|
prohibit stockholder action by written consent, thus requiring all actions to be taken at
a meeting of the stockholders; |
|
|
|
|
require supermajority stockholder voting to effect certain amendments to our restated
certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws; and |
|
|
|
|
require advance notification of stockholder nominations and proposals. |

Use of Proceeds from Public Offering of Common Stock |
In August 2007, we completed our initial public offering, or IPO, pursuant to a registration
statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-143248) which the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission declared effective on August 8, 2007. Under the registration statement, we registered
the offering and sale of an aggregate of up to 6,900,000 shares of our common stock. Of the
registered shares, 6,000,000 of the shares of common stock issued pursuant to the registration
statement were sold at a price to the public of $11.00 per share. As a result of the IPO, we raised
a total of $57.6 million in net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and
expenses.
In August 2007, we used $3.0 million of our proceeds to settle our credit facility and used
$10.2 million of our proceeds to settle our term loan with Silicon Valley Bank and Gold Hill
Venture Lending 03, LP. In fiscal 2010, we used $12.3 million of our proceeds to pay Connect3s
former shareholders in connection with our February 2009 acquisition of Connect3 and $1.3 million
cash to pay off short-term notes payable held by a former Connect3 officer and principal
shareholder. As of May 31, 2010, approximately $30.8 million of aggregate net proceeds remained
invested in short-term interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of
deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the United States government or in operating cash
accounts. In July 2010, we expect to distribute the remaining $1.0 million of cash consideration,
less any amounts used to satisfy claims for indemnification that we may make for certain breaches
of representations, warranties and covenants, due to the former Connect3 shareholders.
We have used and intend to continue to use the remaining net proceeds from the offering for
working capital and other general corporate purposes, including to finance our growth, develop new
software and fund capital expenditures. Additionally, we may choose to expand our current business
through acquisitions of other complementary businesses, products, services, or technologies.
Pending such uses, we plan to invest the net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing, investment
grade securities.
There were no material differences in the actual use of proceeds from our IPO as compared to
the planned use of proceeds as described in the final prospectus filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b).
