CYBERGUARD CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2002

Amounts in thousands, except per share data

(Unaudited)

 

1.    Basis of Presentation

 

CyberGuard Corporation (the “Company”) has prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to Form 10-Q. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate so as to make the information contained not misleading. These interim financial statements and the notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes included in the Company’s 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2002 and the risk factors set forth in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, including, without limitation, risk related to the factors listed below. In the Company’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for fair presentation of the information shown have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an on-going basis, we evaluate significant estimates used in preparing our financial statements, including revenue recognition, bad debt, software development cost, inventory valuation, and deferred taxes. We based our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Software Development Costs—The Company capitalizes costs related to the development of certain software products in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, “Accounting For the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed” (“SFAS No. 86”) which requires capitalization to begin when technological feasibility has been established and ends when the product is available for general release to customers. Software development costs incurred prior to technological feasibility, defined by implementation of a beta project, are considered research and development costs and are expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line method over two years. The Company capitalized $103 in software development costs for the quarter ended September 30, 2002.

 

Revenue Recognition—Revenues from product sales are recognized only when a contract or agreement has been executed, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable and we believe collection is probable. While we generally recognize product revenue on product shipment, we defer revenues on product sales for value added resellers until the partners demonstrate consistency of payment within terms and no product returns for a three month period. Service revenues are recognized ratably on a monthly basis over the service contract term. Service revenues primarily include the annual fee for maintenance, which is sold as part of our security solutions, and for subscription renewals from our existing customers and end users. These services provide our customers access to our worldwide support organization for product updates, general security information and technical support. During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, fourteen (14) resellers were changed from cash basis to accrual, based on a reasonable assurance of collectibility from evaluating their payment histories. The impact was to increase revenue by approximately $252 for the quarter ended September 30, 2002.

Revenue on post-contract customer support is deferred and amortized by the straight-line method over the term of the contracts. The Company also provides professional support services, which are available under service agreements and charged for separately. These services are generally provided under time and materials contracts and revenue is recognized as the service is provided.

 

Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

 

Net Income Per Share—Basic income/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings/(loss) per share data is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of outstanding stock options and warrants using the treasury method. When the effects of the outstanding stock options, warrants and/or convertible securities are anti-dilutive, they are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings/(loss) per share.

 

The table below illustrates the components of earnings per share:

The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2003.

 

The Company’s operating results and financial condition may be impacted by a number of factors including, but not limited to the following, any of which could cause actual results to vary materially from current and historical results or the Company’s anticipated future results. A portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from its international operations and sources. As a result, the Company’s operations and financial results could be affected by international factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in the international markets in which the Company distributes its products. The network security industry is highly competitive and competition is expected to intensify. There are numerous companies competing in segments of the market in which the Company does business. Competitors include organizations significantly larger and with more development, marketing and financial resources than the Company. In addition, the Company is subject to risks and uncertainties which include, but are not limited to, the timely development of and acceptance of new products, impact of competitive products, competition for and retention of key management and

technology employees, possible attacks on our networks causing changes to the public’s perception of the Company, the ability to secure additional financing, government regulation, inventory obsolescence, the ultimate outcome of certain litigation matters, and cash balances in excess of federally insured limits.

 

3.    Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“SFAS 146”). SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring),” as liabilities for these costs are now recognized when incurred rather than at the date an entity commits to an exit plan. The provisions of SFAS 146 are effective, on a prospective basis, for exit or disposal activities initiated by the Company after December 31, 2002. The Company believes SFAS 146 will not have any impact on the Company at this time.

 

4.    Contingencies

 

Litigation

 

On August 24, 1998, the Company announced, among other things, that due to a review of its revenue recognition practices relating to distributors and resellers, it would restate prior financial results. After the August 24, 1998 announcement, twenty-five purported class action lawsuits were filed by alleged shareholders against the Company and certain former officers and directors. Pursuant to an order issued by the Court, these actions have been consolidated into one action, styled Stephen Cheney, et al. v. CyberGuard Corporation, et al., Case No. 98-6879-CIV-Gold, in the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida. On August 23, 1999, the plaintiffs filed a Consolidated and Amended Class Action Complaint. This action seeks damages purportedly on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s common stock during various periods from November 7, 1996 through August 24, 1998. The complaint alleges, among other things, that as a result of accounting irregularities relating to the Company’s revenue recognition policies, the Company’s previously issued financial statements were materially false and misleading and that the defendants knowingly or recklessly published these financial statements which caused the Company’s common stock prices to rise artificially. The action alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Subsequently, the defendants, including the Company, filed their respective motions to dismiss the Consolidated and Amended Class Action Complaint. On July 31, 2000, the Court issued a ruling denying the Company’s and Robert L. Carberry’s (the Company’s CEO from June 1996 through August 1998) motions to dismiss. The court granted the motions to dismiss with prejudice for defendants William D. Murray (the Company’s CFO from November 1997 through August 1998), Patrick O. Wheeler (the Company’s CFO from April 1996 through October 1997), C. Shelton James (the Company’s former Audit Committee Chairman), and KPMG Peat Marwick LLP (“KPMG”). On August 14, 2000, the plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration of that order. The Company filed an answer to the plaintiffs’ Consolidated and Amended Class Action Complaint on August 24, 2000. On March 20, 2001, the Court ruled on the plaintiffs’ motion for reconsideration that the previously dismissed defendants William D. Murray, Patrick O. Wheeler and C. Shelton James should not have been dismissed from the action and shall be defendants in this action under the control person liability claims under Section 20(a) of the Exchange

Act, and that the plaintiffs may amend the Consolidated and Amended Class Action Complaint to bring claims against C. Shelton James under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. On April 5, 2001, the plaintiffs filed their Second Consolidated and Amended Class Action Complaint to include amended claims against C. Shelton James. On May 10, 2001, the Company filed an answer and affirmative defenses to plaintiffs’ Second Consolidated and Amended Class Action Complaint. On August 14, 2002, the Court granted the plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification and certified the class to include all investors who acquired the Company’s common stock between November 7, 1996 and August 24, 1998 and were damaged by the purchase of such stock. The trial is scheduled for March 2004. The parties are currently conducting discovery.

 

The Company’s obligation to indemnify its officers and directors under the aforementioned lawsuit is insured to the extent of the limits of the applicable insurance policies. The Company has notified its insurance carrier of the existence of the lawsuit, and the carrier has sent the Company a reservation of rights letter. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action, and believes that in the event that it is unsuccessful, insurance coverage will be available to defray a portion, or substantially all, of the expense of defending and settling the lawsuit or paying a judgment. However, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the litigation. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in defending the lawsuit or, if unsuccessful, that insurance will be available to pay all or any portion of the expense of the lawsuit. If the Company is unsuccessful in defending the lawsuit and the insurance coverage is unavailable or insufficient, the resolution of the lawsuit could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to these matters.

 

On September 16, 1999, the Company filed a lawsuit against KPMG and August A. Smith, the KPMG engagement partner. The lawsuit is pending in the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Case No. 00-004102-CACE-14. On May 1, 2000, the Company filed the First Amended Complaint, alleging that KPMG failed to properly audit the Company’s financial statements and provided inaccurate advice on accounting matters for fiscal years 1996, 1997 and 1998. The action alleges professional malpractice, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract and breach of implied duty of good faith, and seeks damages in excess of $10 million. KPMG and Mr. Smith filed motions to dismiss, which were denied. In August 2000, KPMG and Mr. Smith filed their answers and KPMG filed counterclaims against the Company, alleging the Company’s breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation and abuse of process, and seeking an unspecified amount of damages consisting of unpaid service fees and legal fees and costs. The Company filed an answer to KPMG’s counterclaims and moved to dismiss KPMG’s abuse of process counterclaim. On April 9, 2001, the Court dismissed the abuse of process counterclaim with prejudice. The parties are currently conducting discovery. We are unable at this time to estimate the loss, if any, that the Company may incur if we are unsuccessful in defending this suit.

 

On November 2, 2001, the Company filed a lawsuit against Data Return Corporation in the United States District Court of the Southern District of Florida, alleging breach of contract, and seeking, among other remedies, damages of approximately $4.2 million. On November 26, 2001, Data Return Corporation filed an answer and affirmative defenses. On or about January 15, 2002, Data Return Corporation filed a motion challenging the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida. On or about March 27, 2002, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida dismissed the action on jurisdictional grounds. The Company continues to consider its alternatives with respect to this litigation, including whether to re-file the action in a different jurisdiction.

The Company is involved from time to time, in the ordinary course of its business, in various litigation relating to the conduct of its business. The Company believes that these other litigation matters will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements about future results, which are subject to risks, and uncertainties, including those discussed below. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In many cases you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential”, “intend”, or “continue”, or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements include statements about our plans, objectives, expectations, intentions and other statements that are not historical facts. They are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and assumptions that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including, but not limited to, the risks described in Part II, Item 7, of the Company’s 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2002. You should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this quarterly report. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, circumstances or events after the date of this report. These forward-looking statements are only predictions.

 

The Company provides a full suite of products and services for the network security industry. The products offered by the Company include the CyberGuard® Firewall and VPN, proprietary and third party technology (such as authentication, virus scanning, encryption, advanced reporting, high availability and centralized management), and consulting, support, and installation services.

 

Results of Operations

 

The quarter ended September 30, 2002 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2001

 

Net Revenues

 

Net revenues consist primarily of the network security products and support related to these products. For the quarter ended September 30, 2002, net revenues increased by $2,524 to $7,100 compared to $4,576 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The increase was comprised of an increase in product sales of $1,873 and services of $651. Total international revenue represented approximately 50% of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to approximately 49% for the three months ended September 30, 2001.

 

The increase in revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 is the result of increased focus in the security industry by consumers in both commercial and government sectors. All three worldwide regions experience significant product revenue growth during the quarter ended September 30, 2002. This growth is attributable to several key factors:

 

  n   New channel partner traction

 

  n   Worldwide government purchases

 

  n   Continuing development of our Middle East market space

 

  n   More seasoned sales force

 

Service revenue includes maintenance contracts related to new product sales, renewal maintenance contracts for products previously deployed, training, installation and consulting services. The increase in service revenue corresponds to the growth in the Company’s customer base and its timing of renewal maintenance. Support services for network security products accounted for 31% of revenues during the quarter ended September 30, 2002 as compared to 34% of revenues during the quarter ended September 30, 2001.

Gross Profit

 

Gross Profit as a percentage of revenues was at 75% for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 compared to 74% for the quarter ended September 30, 2001.

 

The Company’s gross margin has been, and will continue to be, affected by a variety of factors including, competition, the mix and average selling prices of products, new product introductions and enhancements, and the fluctuations in manufacturing volumes. We must continue to manage each of these factors effectively for our gross margins to remain at their current level.

 

Operating Expenses, Other Income and Expense and Net Income/(Loss)

 

Research and development expense includes salaries, non-capitalized equipment, software tools, and depreciation from capital equipment and software. Research and development expense decreased by $309 to $1,047 for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 compared to $1,356 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The decrease is in part the result of a reduction in headcount and the reduction in salary expense related to the special option program discussed in Part I, Item 1, Footnote 7 of the 10Q filed with the SEC for quarter ending December 31, 2001. Additionally, approximately $103 of research and development cost was capitalized during the quarter ended September 30, 2002. As a percentage of total revenue, research and development expense decreased to 15% for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from 30% for the quarter ended September 30, 2001.

 

We expect to increase our research and development costs in total dollars to enhance and expand our current product offerings and develop new products. We also expect research and development costs to increase at a slower rate than revenues. We plan to continue to make the necessary investment in research and development to keep our products at a competitive advantage.

 

Selling, general and administrative expense includes salaries, commissions, costs associated with the executive, human resource, finance and administrative support functions, and legal and accounting professional services. Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $353 to $3,322 for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from $2,969 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001.

 

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2002, of $353 is attributable to increases in the sales and marketing area related to increased headcount for additional inside sales people, severance costs related to employee termination in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region and expansion of personnel within our US Government sales force.

 

Total Other Expense increased $52 for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 to $24 compared to income of $28 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The increase in expense is due to loss on sale of assets during the quarter of $36, and the net effect of a foreign currency loss for the quarter.

 

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 was $931 compared to a net loss of $908 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The Company did not provide for income taxes due to its estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year and the significant net operating loss carryforwards available.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company has generally experienced losses since its inception as a network security company. The Company’s historical uses of cash have been to fund net losses from operations, establish inventory stocking levels, and fund capital expenditures for property, equipment and software. For the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Company earned net income of approximately $931 on revenues of approximately $7,100. For the quarter ended September 30, 2001, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $908 on revenues of approximately $4,576.

At September 30, 2002, the Company had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $7,154 representing an increase of $988 from $6,166 as of June 30, 2002. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased $416, accounts receivable increased $74, property and equipment increased $236, and other current assets increased by $401 compared to June 30, 2001.

 

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity at September 30, 2002, consisted of cash, accounts receivable, and vendor trade credit.

 

We believe our existing cash; cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements at least through the next twelve months. However, we may be required or could elect to seek additional funding prior to that time. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending on support, product development efforts and expansion of sales and marketing, the timing of introductions of new products and enhancement to existing products, and market acceptance of our products. Other recent and possible future events that could also materially impact the Company’s ability to successfully execute on its business plans are described in Information Relating to Forward Looking Statements of this Item on Form 10-Q.

 

We have no other agreements or arrangements for third parties to provide us with sources of liquidity and capital resources, including off balance sheet arrangements.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Our discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an on-going basis, we evaluate significant estimates used in preparing our financial statements, including revenue recognition, bad debt, software development cost, inventory valuation, and deferred taxes. We based our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in preparing our consolidated financial statements:

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue recognition rules for software companies are very complex. CyberGuard follows very specific and detailed guidelines in measuring revenue; however, certain judgments affect the application of our revenue policy. The discretion involved in this process makes revenue results difficult to predict, and any shortfall in revenue or delay in recognizing revenue could cause our operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and could result in future operating losses.

 

We generate revenues through:

 

  n   Sales of product and services subscriptions indirectly through our reseller network at a discount from list price;

 

  n   Sales of products and services subscriptions directly to our end users.

CYBERGUARD CORPORATION

September 30, 2002

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

 

Service revenues primarily include the annual fee for maintenance, which is sold as part of our security solutions, and for subscription renewals from our existing customers and end users. These services provide our customers access to our worldwide support organization for product updates, general security information and technical support.

 

We recognize revenues for product sales only when a contract or agreement has been executed, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable and we believe collection is probable. While we generally recognize product revenue on product shipment, we defer revenues on product sales for value added resellers until the partners demonstrate consistency of payment within terms and no product returns for a three-month period. Service revenues are recognized ratably on a monthly basis over the service contract term.

 

Bad Debts

 

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. Significant judgment is required when we assess the ultimate realization of receivables, including the probability of collection and the credit-worthiness of each customer. In estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts, we analyze our accounts receivable aging, historical bad debts, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and other factors. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowance might be required.

 

Software Development Costs

 

The Company capitalizes costs related to the development of certain software products in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, “Accounting For the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed” (“SFAS No. 86”) which requires capitalization to begin when technological feasibility has been established and ends when the product is available for general release to customers. Software development costs incurred prior to technological feasibility, defined by implementation of a beta project, are considered research and development costs and are expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line method over two years.

 

Inventory Valuation

 

Inventories consist primarily of component parts and computer hardware and are carried at the lower of cost, determined by the First-In-First-Out (“FIFO”) method, or market. We write our inventories down to estimated market value based on assumptions of our future demand, based on projected product releases and market conditions. Variation in market trends, customer preferences, introduction of new products (replacing existing products) or technological advances could, however, significantly affect these estimates and result in additional inventory write-downs.

 

Deferred Taxes

 

We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, that cannot be currently recognized due to our cumulative losses and the uncertainty as to future recoverability. While we have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize the deferred tax asset, in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period the determination was made.

Information Relating to Forward Looking Statements

 

Statements regarding future products, prospects, profitability, business plans and strategies, future revenues and revenue sources, future liquidity and capital resources, future computer network security market directions, future acceptance of the Company’s products and possible growth in markets, as well as all other statements contained in this Report on Form 10-Q that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements.

 

Forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of current conditions, future developments and other factors the Company believes are appropriate in the circumstances, or information obtained from third parties and are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that the actual results might differ materially from those suggested or projected in the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements will occur or that results will not vary significantly from those described in the forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that might cause future actual events to differ from those predicted or assumed include: future advances in technologies and computer security; the Company’s history of annual net operating losses and the financing of these losses through the sale of assets and newly issued Company securities; the Company’s ability to execute on its business plans; the Company’s dependence on outside parties such as its key customers and alliance partners; competition from major computer hardware, software, and networking companies; risk and expense of government regulation and effects on changes in regulation; the limited experience of the Company in marketing its products; uncertainties associated with product performance liability; risks associated with growth and expansion; global economic conditions, overall network security spending, risks associated with obtaining and maintaining patent and intellectual property right protection, uncertainties in availability of expansion capital in the future and other risks associated with capital markets, including the events of September 11, 2001 and its repercussions. In addition, certain events that have occurred also are factors that might cause future actual events to differ from those predicted or assumed, including: the impact of the restatement of financial results for the Company’s fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 and quarters ended September 30, 1997, December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998; the completion of the numerous organizational changes and the assembly of a new management team for CyberGuard; the outcome of a class action lawsuit against the Company relating to the restatement of financial results for the fiscal periods noted above. In addition, the forward-looking statements herein involve assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to economic, competitive, operational, management, governmental, regulatory, litigation and technological factors affecting the Company’s operations, liquidity, capital resources, markets, strategies, products, prices and other factors discussed elsewhere herein and in the other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Many of the foregoing factors are beyond the Company’s control.

 

The Company’s future success is based largely on its ability to develop and sell increasingly technologically advanced network security solutions in sufficient volume and at sufficient prices to become profitable on a consistent basis. In addition, the network security market is characterized by extremely rapid technological change, requiring rapid product development. The velocity of technological change has accelerated, and the Company believes that it is important to its future that it keeps pace with these changes. The Company believes that competition will continue to intensify in the rapidly evolving markets in which the Company is involved, and that the continued development of technologically advanced products will be necessary to keep our products current. The Company believes that its ability to generate adequate cash flow from operations will be critical to its future.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures Concerning Market Risk

 

We have limited exposure to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. The fair value of our investments or related income would not be significantly impacted by a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates due mainly to the short-term nature of the major portion of our investments. A fluctuation in interest rates would not significantly affect interest expense on debt obligations since a significant portion of the debt obligation is at a fixed rate of interest.

 

The Company uses the U.S. Dollar as its reporting currency for financial statement purposes. The Company conducts business in numerous countries around the world through its European subsidiary that uses the local currency to denominate its transactions. Therefore, the Company is subject to certain risks associated with fluctuating foreign currencies.

 

Due to the long-term nature of the Company’s investment in this subsidiary, the translation adjustments resulting from these exchange rate fluctuations are excluded from the results of operations and recorded in a separate component of consolidated stockholders’ equity. The Company monitors its currency exposure but does not hedge its translation exposure due to the high economic costs of such a program and the long-term nature of its investment in its European subsidiary.

 

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Within the 90 days prior to the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the assistance of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), the Company’s Disclosure Control Procedures Committee, and Company management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. This evaluation also considered the proposed amendments to Rule 13a-14 described in Securities and Exchange Commission Release Nos. 33-8183 and 34-46701. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We have designed our disclosure controls procedures to provide a reasonable level of assurance of reaching our desired disclosure control objectives. We believe our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in reaching that level of reasonable assurance. However, the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all errors and all potential 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

 

14


Table of Contents

CYBERGUARD CORPORATION

September 30, 2002

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

 

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 a 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. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

 

Litigation

 

On August 24, 1998, the Company announced, among other things, that due to a review of its revenue recognition practices relating to distributors and resellers, it would restate prior financial results. After the August 24, 1998 announcement, twenty-five purported class action lawsuits were filed by alleged shareholders against the Company and certain former officers and directors. Pursuant to an order issued by the Court, these actions have been consolidated into one action, styled Stephen Cheney, et al. v. CyberGuard Corporation, et al., Case No. 98-6879-CIV-Gold, in the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida. On August 23, 1999, the plaintiffs filed a Consolidated and Amended Class Action Complaint. This action seeks damages purportedly on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s common stock during various periods from November 7, 1996 through August 24, 1998. The complaint alleges, among other things, that as a result of accounting irregularities relating to the Company’s revenue recognition policies, the Company’s previously issued financial statements were materially false and misleading and that the defendants knowingly or recklessly published these financial statements which caused the Company’s common stock prices to rise artificially. The action alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Subsequently, the defendants, including the Company, filed their respective motions to dismiss the Consolidated and Amended Class Action Complaint. On July 31, 2000, the Court issued a ruling denying the Company’s and Robert L. Carberry’s (the Company’s CEO from June 1996 through August 1998) motions to dismiss. The court granted the motions to dismiss with prejudice for defendants William D. Murray (the Company’s CFO from November 1997 through August 1998), Patrick O. Wheeler (the Company’s CFO from April 1996 through October 1997), C. Shelton James (the Company’s former Audit Committee Chairman), and KPMG Peat Marwick LLP (“KPMG”). On August 14, 2000, the plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration of that order. The Company filed an answer to the plaintiffs’ Consolidated and Amended Class Action Complaint on August 24, 2000. On March 20, 2001, the Court ruled on the plaintiffs’ motion for reconsideration that the previously dismissed defendants William D. Murray, Patrick O. Wheeler and C. Shelton James should not have been dismissed from the action and shall be defendants in this action under the control person liability claims under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and that the plaintiffs may amend the Consolidated and Amended Class Action Complaint to bring claims against C. Shelton James under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. On April 5, 2001, the plaintiffs filed their Second Consolidated and Amended Class Action Complaint to include amended claims against C. Shelton James. On May 10, 2001, the Company filed an answer and affirmative defenses to plaintiffs’ Second Consolidated and Amended Class Action Complaint. On August 14, 2002, the Court granted the plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification and certified the class to include all investors who acquired the Company’s common stock between November 7, 1996 and August 24, 1998 and were damaged by the purchase of such stock. The trial is scheduled for March 2004. The parties are currently conducting discovery.

The Company’s obligation to indemnify its officers and directors under the aforementioned lawsuit is insured to the extent of the limits of the applicable insurance policies. The Company has notified its insurance carrier of the existence of the lawsuit, and the carrier has sent the Company a reservation of rights letter. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action, and believes that in the event that it is unsuccessful, insurance coverage will be available to defray a portion, or substantially all, of the expense of defending and settling the lawsuit or paying a judgment. However, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the litigation. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in defending the lawsuit or, if unsuccessful, that insurance will be available to pay all or any portion of the expense of the lawsuit. If the Company is unsuccessful in defending the lawsuit and the insurance coverage is unavailable or insufficient, the resolution of the lawsuit could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to these matters. We are unable at this time to estimate the loss, if any, that the Company may incur if we are unsuccessful in defending this suit.

 

On September 16, 1999, the Company filed a lawsuit against KPMG and August A. Smith, the KPMG engagement partner. The lawsuit is pending in the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Case No. 00-004102-CACE-14. On May 1, 2000, the Company filed the First Amended Complaint, alleging that KPMG failed to properly audit the Company’s financial statements and provided inaccurate advice on accounting matters for fiscal years 1996, 1997 and 1998. The action alleges professional malpractice, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract and breach of implied duty of good faith, and seeks damages in excess of $10 million. KPMG and Mr. Smith filed motions to dismiss, which were denied. In August 2000, KPMG and Mr. Smith filed their answers and KPMG filed counterclaims against the Company, alleging the Company’s breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation and abuse of process, and seeking an unspecified amount of damages consisting of unpaid service fees and legal fees and costs. The Company filed an answer to KPMG’s counterclaims and moved to dismiss KPMG’s abuse of process counterclaim. On April 9, 2001, the Court dismissed the abuse of process counterclaim with prejudice. The parties are currently conducting discovery.

 

On November 2, 2001, the Company filed a lawsuit against Data Return Corporation in the United States District Court of the Southern District of Florida, alleging breach of contract, and seeking, among other remedies, damages of approximately $4.2 million. On November 26, 2001, Data Return Corporation filed an answer and affirmative defenses. On or about January 15, 2002, Data Return Corporation filed a motion challenging the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida. On or about March 27, 2002, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida dismissed the action on jurisdictional grounds. The Company continues to consider its alternatives with respect to this litigation, including whether to re-file the action in a different jurisdiction.

 

The Company is involved from time to time, in the ordinary course of its business, in various litigation relating to the conduct of its business. The Company believes that these other litigation matters will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
