GENESYS TELECOMMUNICATIONS LABORATORIES, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories, Inc. (the Company) without audit and reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations of the Company for the interim periods. The statements have been prepared in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year or future operating periods. The information included in this report should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 and the risk factors as set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, including, without limitation, risks relating to limited operating history, potential fluctuations in quarterly operating results, lengthy sales cycle, lengthy implementation cycle, dependence on third party consultants, dependence on new products, rapid technological change, competition, product concentration, management of growth, dependence on third- party resellers, customer concentration, dependence on emerging CTI market, risks associated with international sales and operations, dependence on key personnel, government regulation of immigration, dependence on ability to integrate with third-party technology, product liability, protection of intellectual property, concentration of stock ownership, possible volatility of stock price, shares eligible for future sale, registration rights, effect of certain charter provisions, anti-takeover effects of provisions of the by- laws and uncertainty as to use of proceeds. Any party interested in reviewing these publicly available documents should write to the SEC or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. 2. CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. 3. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128"), which was adopted by the Company in the quarter ended December 31, 1997, and in accordance with this standard all prior periods presented have been restated to conform to its provisions. Under the new requirements for calculating earnings per share, the dilutive effect of potential common shares is excluded from basic net income (loss) per share. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of preferred stock (using the "if converted" method) and stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method). Potential common shares are excluded from the dilutive computation only if their effect is anti-dilutive. In February 1998, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 98, which included SEC requirements related to the adoption of SFAS 128. The Company applied these provisions to the calculation of basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for all periods presented in the accompanying statements of operations. 5

GENESYS TELECOMMUNICATIONS LABORATORIES, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) Basic and Diluted Weighted Average Common and Potential Common Shares presented in the accompanying statements of operations (as rounded) are comprised of the following (in thousands): [Download Table] Quarter Ended Nine Months Ended March 31, March 31, ------------- ----------------- 1999 1998 1999 1998 ------ ------ -------- -------- BASIC WEIGHTED AVERAGE COMMON SHARES..... 23,500 21,400 23,100 20,900 ====== ====== ======== ======== Weighted average options and warrants for common stock............................ 2,800 5,400 -- 6,000 ------ ------ -------- -------- DILUTED WEIGHTED AVERAGE COMMON SHARES... 26,300 26,800 23,100 26,900 ====== ====== ======== ======== Potential weighted average common shares totaling approximately 3.2 million have been excluded from diluted weighted average common shares for the nine months ended March 31, 1999, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. 4. NON-RECURRING CHARGES Executive Management Additions and Acquisition of Plato Software Corporation In December 1998, the Company hired Ori Sasson as its Chief Executive Officer and elected him as a member of the Board of Directors of Genesys. In connection with the hiring of Mr. Sasson, the Company also completed the acquisition of Plato Software Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Plato"), a company in which Mr. Sasson was a principal shareholder. The merger was completed pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization ("Merger Agreement") dated as of December 9, 1998. As Plato did not have significant operations or revenue prior to the acquisition, the Company has treated the purchase as the acquisition of an asset. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company issued 202,500 shares of its Common Stock in exchange for all outstanding shares of Plato Common Stock, and issued options to purchase 47,500 shares of Genesys Common Stock in exchange for all outstanding Plato Stock options. A total of 50,000 shares have been placed into an escrow subject to the satisfaction of all representations and warranties under the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. The Company recorded the fair value of net assets purchased from Plato, which consisted of certain technology to be incorporated into the Genesys products, totaling $382,000 as of December 31, 1998. As the acquisition of Plato was consummated in connection with the election of Ori Sasson as Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, in December 1998 the Company recorded as expense the portion of the shares and options issued that represented compensation to Mr. Sasson and other Plato employees. Deferred compensation totaling $800,000 related to unvested options will be amortized over the remaining vesting period of the options of approximately 4 years. In addition, the Company recorded as expense its reimbursement to Mr. Sasson of the tax liabilities associated with this compensation. The total amount of compensation expense and related tax reimbursements associated with this transaction was approximately $12.4 million, and was reflected as part of the non-recurring charge in the Company's financial statements. Compensation to Former President and Chief Financial Officer The Company recorded $3.1 million of non-recurring charges in the quarter ended December 31, 1998 related to an employment and severance agreement dated December 11, 1998 with its former President and Chief Financial Officer. 6

GENESYS TELECOMMUNICATIONS LABORATORIES, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) 4. LITIGATION In November 1998, GeoTel Communications Corporation ("GeoTel") and the Company settled the litigation between them concerning GeoTel's United States Patent No. 5,546,452 on terms which both companies believe not to be material to their financial results. Pursuant to the settlement, GeoTel will receive license fees from Genesys for ongoing revenues generated from certain products in exchange for a nonexclusive, irrevocable license to use the technology covered by GeoTel's 452 Patent or any related patent in all present and future Genesys products which incorporate such technology. 5. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In October 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 97-2 "Software Revenue Recognition" ("SOP 97-2"), which was adopted by the Company in its first fiscal quarter of 1999. SOP 97-2 clarifies and amends certain provisions of Statement of Position 91-1, "Software Revenue Recognition". The adoption of the provisions of SOP 97-2 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), which was adopted by the Company in its first quarter of fiscal 1999. Accordingly, the Company is required to disclose, in financial statement format, all non-owner changes in equity. Such changes include, for example, cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments, certain minimum pension liabilities and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. The Company's only reconciling item to comprehensive income from net income is cumulative translation adjustments resulting from foreign currency exchange rates, the net effect of which is immaterial to the Company's financial statements for the periods presented. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"), which establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual financial statements and interim financial reports. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. As defined in SFAS 131, operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the basis that is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments. The Company will adopt SFAS 131 for the year ended June 30, 1999. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS 131 will not have a material impact on its financial statements. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133") which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 133, required beginning the first fiscal quarter of 2000, to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. 7

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Overview Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories, Inc ("Genesys" or the "Company") is a leading provider of enterprise-wide customer interaction, computer telephony and e-mail software solutions. The Company's products allow an organization to optimally manage its customer interactions and employee communications to increase productivity, lower costs and achieve greater customer satisfaction and loyalty. To accomplish this, Genesys' software-based solutions integrate and extend the capabilities of an organization's computer, telecommunications and database systems, bringing together what were once disparate technologies. The Company believes that as customer interactions are increasingly viewed as strategic to an organization's mission, call center capabilities will be extended beyond traditional agent, site and switch boundaries, transforming the entire enterprise into a customer interaction network. Executive Management Additions and Acquisition of Plato Software Corporation In December 1998, the Company appointed Ori Sasson as its Chief Executive Officer and elected him as a member of the Board of Directors of Genesys. In connection with the hiring of Mr. Sasson, the Company also completed the acquisition of Plato Software Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Plato"), a company in which Mr. Sasson was a principal shareholder. The merger was completed pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization ("Merger Agreement") dated as of December 9, 1998. As Plato did not have significant operations or revenue prior to the acquisition, the Company has treated the purchase as the acquisition of an asset. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company issued 202,500 shares of its Common Stock in exchange for all outstanding shares of Plato Common Stock, and issued options to purchase 47,500 shares of Genesys Common Stock in exchange for all outstanding Plato stock options. A total of 50,000 shares have been placed into an escrow subject to the satisfaction of all representations and warranties under the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. The Company recorded the fair value of net assets purchased from Plato, which consisted of certain technology to be incorporated into the Genesys products, totaling $382,000 as of December 31, 1998. As the acquisition of Plato was consummated in connection with the election of Ori Sasson as Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Company recorded as expense the portion of the shares and options issued that represented compensation to Mr. Sasson and other Plato employees. Deferred compensation totaling $800,000 related to unvested options will be amortized over the remaining vesting period of the options of approximately 4 years. In addition, the Company recorded as expense its reimbursement to Mr. Sasson of the tax liabilities associated with this compensation. The total amount of compensation expense and related tax reimbursements associated with this transaction was approximately $12.4 million, and was reflected as part of a non-recurring charge in the Company's financial statements. 8

Results of Operations The following table sets forth statement of operations data of the Company expressed as a percentage of total revenues for the years and periods indicated. [Download Table] Three Months Nine Months Ended Ended March 31, March 31, ------------ ------------- 1999 1998 1999 1998 ----- ----- ----- ----- Revenues: License............................................ 82.7% 80.3% 81.7% 81.2% Service............................................ 17.3 19.7 18.3 18.8 ----- ----- ----- ----- Total revenues................................... 100.0 100.0 100.0 100.0 ----- ----- ----- ----- Cost of revenues: License............................................ 3.8 4.2 3.7 4.3 Service............................................ 12.5 12.8 13.4 12.0 ----- ----- ----- ----- Total cost of revenues........................... 16.3 17.0 17.1 16.2 ----- ----- ----- ----- Gross margin....................................... 83.7 83.0 82.9 83.8 ----- ----- ----- ----- Operating expenses: Research and development........................... 17.4 17.8 18.4 18.5 Sales and marketing................................ 37.5 41.4 36.0 42.7 General and administrative......................... 8.0 9.6 8.3 10.5 Merger-related costs............................... 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.6 Non-recurring charges.............................. 0.0 0.0 15.9 0.0 ----- ----- ----- ----- Total operating expenses......................... 62.9 68.8 78.6 73.2 ----- ----- ----- ----- Income from operations............................. 20.8 14.1 4.3 10.6 Interest and other income (expense), net........... 0.5 1.9 1.1 2.0 Income before provision for income taxes........... 21.3 16.0 5.4 12.6 Provision for income taxes......................... 7.4 5.6 7.1 4.1 ----- ----- ----- ----- Net income (loss).................................. 13.8% 10.4% (1.7)% 8.5% ===== ===== ===== ===== Revenues License. License revenues increased by 62.6% from $18.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $29.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 1999. License revenues increased by 68.2% from $47.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1998 to $79.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1999. This increase resulted from the market's growing acceptance of the Company's products and underlying technology, an expansion of the Company's product offerings, and a significant increase in the Company's sales, marketing and customer service organizations. The Company does not believe that the historical growth rates of license revenues will be sustainable or are indicative of future results. Service. Service revenues primarily comprise fees from consulting, post- contract support and, to a lesser extent, training services. Service revenues increased by 39.0% from $4.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $6.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 1999. Service revenues increased by 62.6% from $10.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1998 to $17.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1999. The Company's software license agreements often provide for maintenance, consulting and training. Accordingly, increases in licensing activity and the Company's installed base of products have resulted in increases in revenues from services related to maintenance, consulting and training. Service revenues are largely dependent upon the extent to which product implementations are performed by internal professional services personnel versus third party organizations such as systems integrators. To the extent 9
10-Q12th Page of 17TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 12th
that the Company utilizes more internal resources to perform product implementations, service revenues could increase as a percentage of total revenues. Conversely, if the Company utilizes to a greater extent third-party organizations such as systems integrators to implement the Company's products, service revenues may decrease as a percentage of total revenues. Maintenance revenues as a percentage of total revenues are expected to increase due to continued expansion of the Company's installed base. The Company does not believe that the historical growth rates of service revenues will be sustainable or are indicative of future results. Cost of Revenues License. Cost of license revenues includes the costs of product media, product duplication and manuals, as well as allocated labor and overhead costs associated with the preparation and shipment of products. Cost of license revenues were $1.4 million and $1.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and $3.6 million and $2.5 million in the nine months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase in absolute dollar amounts relates primarily to an increase in the volume of products shipped by the Company, and the resulting increase in documentation material costs and personnel necessary to assemble and ship the products. Also included in cost of license revenues is amortization of capitalized software costs amounting to approximately $235,000 and $75,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and $646,000 and $175,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Service. Cost of service revenues are primarily comprised of employee- related costs incurred in providing consulting, post-contract support and training services. Cost of service revenues were $4.5 million and $2.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and $13.0 million and $7.0 million in the nine months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase in absolute dollars was due primarily to increases in consulting, support and training personnel, and increases in overhead costs associated with travel, computer equipment and facilities. The cost of service revenues as a percentage of service revenues may vary between periods due to the mix of services provided by the Company and the resources used to provide these services. Operating Expenses For the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company's operating expenses were $22.6 million and $15.6 million, or 63.0% and 68.8% of total revenues, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, operating expenses were $76.4 million and $42.6 million, or 78.6% and 73.2% of total revenues, respectively. Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $6.3 million and $4.0 million, or 17.4% and 17.8% of total revenues in the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and $17.8 million and $10.8 million, or 18.3% and 18.5% of total revenues in the nine months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. These expenses increased in absolute dollars primarily as a result of an increase in personnel to support the Company's product development activities. The Company expects that research and development expenditures will continue to increase in absolute dollars. Research and development expenses are generally charged to operations as incurred. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, the Company capitalized approximately $1.4 million and $800,000 of software development costs incurred in the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and $1.9 million and $1.3 million in the nine months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, related to the development of its product suite. Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were $13.5 million and $9.4 million, representing 37.5% and 41.4% of total revenues in the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and $35.0 million and $24.8 million, or 36.0% and 42.7% of total revenues in the nine months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. These expenses increased in absolute dollars primarily due to the Company's continuing investment in building a direct sales force to support the increasing demand for its products, and the 10
10-Q13th Page of 17TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 13th
Company's investment in expanding its channel sales force in North America, Europe and the Asia Pacific. In addition, the Company incurred increased marketing expenses associated with the Company's expanding product line, including trade shows and promotional expenses. The Company has recently hired several senior sales and marketing executives, including a Vice President of Worldwide Field Operations, a Vice President of North American Direct Sales, a Vice President of EMEA, a Vice President of Asia Pacific and a Vice President of North American Channel Sales. The Company expects to hire additional personnel in the near future, including a Vice President of Marketing. The Company expects an increase in expenses related to the hiring of these and other new personnel. The Company expects to continue to expand its direct sales and marketing efforts, and therefore, anticipates sales and marketing expenditures will continue to increase significantly in absolute dollars. General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were $2.9 million and $2.2 million, or 8.0% and 9.6% of total revenues in the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and $8.1 million and $6.1 million, or 8.3% and 10.5% of total revenues in the nine months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. These expenses increased in absolute dollars during these periods principally due to the addition of staff and information system investments to support the growth of the Company's business during these periods. In addition, the Company has incurred higher legal costs associated primarily with general corporate matters, trademark matters and patent filings. The Company hired a new Chief Financial Officer in April 1999. The Company expects to continue to increase its general and administrative staff and to incur other costs necessary to manage a growing organization, and accordingly, it expects general and administrative expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues have decreased from 9.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 to 8.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 1999, due principally to the significant investments made by the Company in 1998 relative to total revenues in anticipation of significant growth during fiscal 1998 and 1999. The Company expects to continue to increase general and administrative expenses in absolute dollars, but expects that these expenses as a percentage of total revenues will stabilize. Merger Costs. The Company incurred $905,000 of merger costs in connection with the merger of Forte Advanced Management Software, Inc. during the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998. The costs consisted primarily of legal and accounting fees. Non-recurring Charges. In connection with the hiring of Ori Sasson as the Company's Chief Executive Officer, in the nine months ended March 31, 1999 the Company recorded non-recurring charges totaling $11.6 million related to compensation and tax reimbursements paid or accrued to Mr. Sasson, and an additional $802,000 of compensation paid or accrued to certain employees of Plato. In addition, the Company recorded $3.1 million of non-recurring charges related to an employment and severance agreement dated December 11, 1998 with its former President and Chief Financial Officer. Provision for Income Taxes Excluding the effect of the non-recurring charges, the Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1999 was 35%, which the Company estimates will be the effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999. Due to permanent limitations on the deductibility for tax purposes of executive compensation, the Company did not record any tax benefit related to the non-recurring charges recorded during the quarter. The Company's effective tax rate for the year ended June 30, 1998 was 34%. Year 2000 Many computer systems experience problems handling dates beyond the year 1999. Therefore, some computer hardware and software will need to be modified prior to the year 2000 in order to remain functional. The Company is assessing both the internal readiness of its computer systems and the compliance of its computer products and software sold to customers for handling the year 2000. The Company has designed and tested current versions of its products to be year 2000 ready. Some of the Company's customers might be running older 11
10-Q14th Page of 17TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 14th
product versions that might not be year 2000 ready. It is possible that the Company may experience increased expenses in addressing migration issues for these customers. In addition, there can be no assurances that the Company's current products do not contain undetected errors or defects associated with year 2000 date functions that may result in material costs to the Company. Some commentators have stated that a significant amount of litigation will arise out of year 2000 compliance issues. Because of the unprecedented nature of such litigation, it is uncertain whether or to what extent the Company may be affected by it. Although the Company does not believe that it will incur any material costs or experience material disruptions in its business associated with preparing its internal systems for the year 2000, there can be no assurance that the Company will not experience serious unanticipated negative consequences and/or material costs caused by undetected errors or defects in the technology used in its internal systems, which are composed predominantly of third party software and hardware technology with embedded software, and the Company's own software products. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of March 31, 1999, the Company's primary sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents of $40.7 million and short-term investments of $19.5 million. The Company generated cash from operating activities of $13.8 million in the nine months ended March 31, 1999 related primarily to an increase in accrued liabilities and deferred revenues, which was offset in part by an increase in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses. The Company generated cash from operating activities of $7.9 million in the nine months ended March 31, 1998 related primarily to an increase in net income and deferred revenues, offset in part by an increase in accounts receivable. The Company used cash for the net purchase of $2.5 million of short-term investments in the nine months ended March 31, 1999. The Company used cash of $7.5 million for the purchase of property and equipment in the nine months ended March 31, 1999. The Company used cash to purchase $23.6 million of short-term investments and $7.0 million of property and equipment in the nine months ended March 31, 1998. The Company generated cash of $10.1 million and $2.3 million from the sale of common stock, primarily from the exercise of stock options, in the nine months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company has established subsidiaries in foreign countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Sweden, South Africa, Canada, Russia, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and Australia, which function primarily as sales offices in those locations. The Company expects to establish offices in other foreign countries as it continues to expand its international operations. The capital expenditures necessary to establish a foreign office are not significant, and, accordingly, the Company does not expect that the establishment of these subsidiaries will have a material adverse effect on its liquidity and capital resources. The Company believes that its existing sources of liquidity will satisfy the Company's projected working capital and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months. Quarterly Results of Operations and Forward Looking Statements The Company's quarterly operating results have in the past fluctuated and may in the future fluctuate significantly, depending on a number of factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control, including: market acceptance of the Company products; competition; the size, timing and recognition of revenue from significant orders; the Company's ability to develop and market new products and product enhancements; new product releases by the Company and its competitors and the timing of such releases; the length of sales and implementation cycles; the Company's ability to integrate acquired business; the Company's success in establishing indirect sales channels and expanding its direct sales force; the Company's success in retaining and training third- party support personnel; the delay or deferral of significant revenues until acceptance of software required by an individual license transaction; technological changes in the market for the Company's products; the deferral of customer orders in anticipation of new products and product enhancements; purchasing patterns 12
10-Q15th Page of 17TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 15th
of indirect channel partners and customers; changes in pricing policies by the Company and its competitors; the mix of revenues derived from the Company's direct sales force and various indirect distribution and marketing channels; the mix of revenues derived from domestic and international customers; seasonality; changes in operating expenses; changes in relationships with strategic partners; changes in Company strategy; personnel changes; foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; the ability of the Company to control its costs; and general economic factors. While the Company generally operates with limited backlog, from time to time it receives orders from customers that are for project development over an extended period of time. The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from licenses of the Company's platform and related applications software and services. The Company believes that the purchase of its products is relatively discretionary and generally involves a significant commitment of capital and other resources by a customer. The Company's typical order size ranges from $200,000 to $400,000; however, several orders during the three months ended March 31, 1999 exceeded $500,000 each. The timing of the receipt and shipment of a single order can have a significant impact on the Company's revenues and results of operations for a particular quarter. In situations requiring customer acceptance of implementation, the Company does not recognize license revenues upon shipment. As a result, revenue recognition may be delayed in many instances. Historically, the Company has often recognized a substantial portion of its revenues in the last month of a quarter, with these revenues frequently concentrated in the last two weeks of a quarter. As a result, product revenues in any quarter are substantially dependent on orders booked and shipped in that quarter, and revenues for any future quarter are not predictable with any meaningful degree of certainty. Product revenues are also difficult to forecast because the market for the Company's software products is rapidly evolving, and the Company's sales cycle, which may last from three to nine months or more, varies substantially from customer to customer. The Company's quarterly revenues are also subject to seasonal fluctuations, particularly in the quarter ending in September when reduced activity outside North America during the summer months can adversely affect the Company's revenues. The Company's expenses are relatively fixed and are based, in part, on expectations as to future revenues. Consequently, if future revenue levels were below expectations, net income would be disproportionately affected because a proportionately smaller amount of the Company's expenses varies with its revenues. In addition, the Company expects that sales derived through indirect channels, which are more difficult to forecast and generally have lower gross margins than direct sales, will increase as a percentage of total revenues. Due to all of the foregoing factors, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of its results of operations are not meaningful and should not be relied upon as indications of future performance. It is likely that in some future quarter the Company's operating results will be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. In such event, the price of the Company's Common Stock would likely be materially adversely affected. Because of these factors, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of its results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and that such comparisons should not be relied upon as indications of future performance. Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, statements containing the words "believes," "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," and words of similar import, constitute "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regarding events, conditions and financial trends that may affect the Company's future plans, business strategy, results of operations and financial position. Readers are referred to the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward- looking statements.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In November 1998, GeoTel Communications Corporation ("GeoTel") and the Company settled the litigation between them concerning GeoTel's United States Patent No. 5,546,452 on terms which both companies believe not to be material to their financial results. Pursuant to the settlement, GeoTel will receive license fees from Genesys for ongoing revenues generated from certain products in exchange for a nonexclusive, irrevocable license to use the technology covered by GeoTel's 452 Patent or any related patent in all present and future Genesys products which incorporate such technology. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in the rights of holders of any class of securities of the Company and no unregistered sales of equity securities. On June 16, 1997, the Company's registration statement on Form S-1 (SEC File No. 333-24479) was declared effective. The registration statement registered for offer and sale 2,500,000 (2,875,000 shares including over-allotments) of the Company's Common Stock, no par value, for an aggregate price of $45 million ($51.75 million including over-allotments) (the "Offering"). Pursuant to the Offering, which was completed in June 1998, the Company sold 2,375,000 shares, including over-allotments, of Common Stock and certain shareholders of the Company sold 500,000 shares of Common Stock. The shares in the Offering were sold in a firm commitment underwriting that was co-managed by Goldman Sachs & Company, Lehman Brothers and Robertson, Stephens & Company (now known as BancBoston Robertson Stephens). The amount of underwriting expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Offering were approximately $1,990,500, resulting in net proceeds to the Company in the amount of $37,137,000. As of March 31, 1999, none of the net proceeds from the Offering have been used by the Company, and the net proceeds are held in cash or high-grade short-term investments. The Company's planned use of proceeds is as described in the registration statement. ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES Not applicable. ITEM 4.
