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 nine months ended March 31, 1998 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, 1997 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, GeoTel litigation, customer concentration, dependence on emerging ECTI 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. ACQUISITION In December 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Forte Advanced Management Software, Inc. ("Forte") in exchange for approximately 667,099 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company also assumed Forte's outstanding options, which were converted to options to purchase approximately 90,385 shares of the Company's common stock. The merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests and, accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the acquisition on a pooling of interests basis. 7

Net revenue and income of the separate companies for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 were: [Enlarge/Download Table] Genesys Forte Advanced Telecommunications Management Laboratories, Inc. Software, Inc. Combined ------------------- -------------- -------- Nine Months Ended March 31, 1998: Total Revenue......................... $ 55,898 $ 2,226 $ 58,124 Net Income (Loss)..................... 5,298 (379) 4,919 Nine Months Ended March 31, 1997: Total Revenue......................... $ 21,991 $ 2,082 $ 24,073 Net Income (Loss)..................... 593 (549) 44 4. NET INCOME PER SHARE In February 1997, 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 per share. Diluted net income 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. Pro forma basic weighted average common shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1997 was 16,600 and 16,800, respectively, assuming the conversion of preferred stock upon the completion of the Company's initial public offering in June 1997. Pro forma basic earnings per share for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1997 was $0.01 and $0.00, respectively. 8

LITIGATION On December 17, 1996, GeoTel Communications Corporation ("GeoTel") filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts naming the Company as defendant, and alleging infringement of a patent issued to GeoTel entitled "Communications System Using a Central Controller to Control at Least One Network and Agent System", U.S. Patent No. 5,546,452 (the "GeoTel Patent"). In the complaint, GeoTel requested injunctive relief, an accounting for damages and an assessment of interest and costs, and other relief as the court deems just and proper. On February 10, 1997, the Company filed an answer in response to the complaint filed by GeoTel, asserting that the GeoTel Patent is invalid, denying the alleged patent infringement and seeking dismissal of the complaint with prejudice. A non-jury trial has been scheduled for November 30, 1998. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the asserted claims and intends to defend the litigation vigorously. GeoTel alleges that the Genesys Call Router, Genesys Call Center Manager and Genesys Call Concentrator products, and the T-Server product, as a necessary element of all Genesys products, infringe the GeoTel Patent. After consultation with patent counsel, the Company does not believe any of the products described under "Business-- Products" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K infringe any valid claims of the GeoTel Patent. In connection with the Company's development of the potential new products described under "Business--Research and Development" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company has sought the advice of such counsel and believes that such potential products can be developed without infringing the GeoTel Patent; however, there can be no assurance that GeoTel will not assert infringement of the GeoTel Patent with respect to such potential new products. Further, the outcome of litigation is inherently unpredictable, and there can be no assurance that the results of these proceedings will be favorable to the Company or that they will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations. Regardless of the ultimate outcome, the GeoTel litigation could result in substantial expense to the Company and significant diversion of effort by the Company's technical and managerial personnel. If the Court determines that the Company infringes GeoTel's patent and that the GeoTel patent is valid and enforceable, it could issue an injunction against the use or sale of certain of the Company's products and it could assess significant damages against the Company. Accordingly, an adverse determination in the proceeding could subject the Company to significant liabilities and require the Company to seek a license from GeoTel. Although patent and other intellectual property disputes in the software area have sometimes been settled through licensing or similar arrangements, costs associated with such arrangements may be substantial, and there can be no assurance that a license from GeoTel, if required, would be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. Accordingly, an adverse determination in the GeoTel litigation could prevent the Company from licensing certain of its software products, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. 9

6. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In October 1997, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 97-2 "Software Revenue Recognition" ("SOP 97-2"), which will be adopted by the Company in fiscal 1999. SOP 97-2 clarifies and amends certain provisions of Statement of Position 91-1, "Software Revenue Recognition". The Company does not believe the adoption of the provisions of SOP 97-2 will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure" ("SFAS 129"), which was adopted by the Company in fiscal 1998. SFAS 129 continues the existing requirements to disclose the pertinent rights and privileges or all securities other than ordinary common stock but expands the number of companies subject to portions of its requirements. The adoption of this statement had no impact on the Company's financial statements. In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), which is required to be adopted by the Company in its first quarter of fiscal 1999. At that time, the Company will be 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 has studied the implications of SFAS 130 and, based on its initial evaluation, does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In June 1997, 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 in fiscal 1999. 10

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Overview Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories, Inc. (the "Company") is a leading provider of enterprise-wide platform and applications software that enables organizations to integrate critical business information and computing resources with telephony and other telecommunications media. 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. In addition, the Company's products enable organizations to develop and offer new or enhanced revenue-generating products and services. The Company believes that it is the first company to offer a suite of open, scaleable, enterprise-wide platform and applications software solutions to address the evolving needs of organizations for intelligent communications, a new market paradigm known as Enterprise Computer Telephony Integration ("ECTI"). 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, -------- -------- 1998 1997 1998 1997 ---- ---- ---- ---- Revenues: License ........................... 80.3% 88.1% 81.2% 84.6% Service ........................... 19.7 11.9 18.8 15.4 ------ ----- ----- ----- Total revenues ............... 100.0 100.0 100.0 100.0 ------ ----- ----- ----- Cost of revenues: License ........................... 4.2 4.6 4.2 4.2 Service ........................... 12.8 9.3 12.0 10.7 ------ ----- ----- ----- Total cost of revenues ....... 17.0 13.9 16.2 14.9 ------ ----- ----- ----- Gross Margin ........................... 83.0 86.1 83.8 85.1 ------ ----- ----- ----- Operating expenses: Research and development .......... 17.8 25.1 18.5 27.6 Sales and marketing ............... 41.4 41.5 42.7 41.3 General and administrative ........ 9.6 14.6 10.4 15.6 Merger costs ...................... -- -- 1.6 -- ------ ----- ----- ----- Total operating expenses ..... 68.8 81.2 73.2 84.5 ------ ----- ----- ----- Income from operations ................. 14.1 4.9 10.6 0.6 Interest and other income (expense), net 1.9 (0.6) 2.0 0.6 ------ ----- ----- ----- Income before provision for income taxes 16.0 4.3 12.6 1.2 Provision for income taxes ............. 5.6 2.1 4.1 1.0 ------ ----- ----- ----- Net income.............................. 10.4% 2.2% 8.5% 0.2% ====== ===== ===== ===== 11

Revenues License. License revenues increased by 92.6% from $9.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $18.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 1998. License revenues increased by 131.8% from $20.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1997 to $47.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1998. This increase was due to additional licenses of the Company's products which 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 248.4% from $1.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $4.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 1998. Service revenues increased by 194.2% from $3.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1997 to $10.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1998. The Company's software license agreements often provide for maintenance, consulting and training. Accordingly, increases in licensing activity have resulted in increases in revenues from services related to maintenance, consulting and training. If the Company is successful in implementing its strategy of encouraging third-party organizations such as systems integrators to undertake a greater percentage of implementation of the Company's products, service revenues may decrease as a percentage of total revenues, while maintenance as a percentage of total revenues is expected to increase. 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 $969,000 and $490,000, in the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and $2.5 million and $1.0 million in the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, 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. 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 $2.9 million and $1.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and were $7.0 million and $2.6 million in the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, 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, 1998 and 1997, the Company's operating expenses were $15.6 million and $8.7 million, or 68.8% and 81.2% of total revenues, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company's operating expenses were $42.6 million and $20.3 million, or 73.2% and 84.5% of total revenues, respectively. 12

Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $4.0 million and $2.7 million, or 17.8% and 25.1% of total revenues in the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively and $10.8 million and $6.6 million, or 18.5 % and 27.6% of total revenues in the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. These expenses increased in absolute dollars and as a percentage of total revenues 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 $1.3 million of software development costs incurred in the nine months ended March 31, 1998 related to the development of its 5.0 and 5.1 product suite. Costs that were eligible for capitalization in the nine months ended March 31, 1997 were insignificant, and accordingly the Company charged all software development costs to research and development expense in this period. Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were $9.4 million and $4.5 million, representing 41.4% and 41.5% of total revenues in the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively and $24.8 million and $9.9 million, or 42.7% and 41.3% of total revenues in the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. These expenses increased in absolute dollars primarily due to the Company's investment in building a direct sales force in North America and, to a lesser extent, in Europe, and the 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 expects to continue to expand its direct sales and marketing efforts and to develop a significant channel sales organization, and therefore, anticipates sales and marketing expenditures will continue to increase significantly in absolute dollars. General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were $2.2 million and $1.6 million, or 9.6% and 14.6% of total revenues in the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively and $6.1 million and $3.8 million, or 10.4% and 15.6% of total revenues in the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, 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 expects to continue to increase its general and administrative staff and to incur other costs necessary to manage a growing organization and for legal expenses that are expected to increase in connection with the GeoTel litigation, 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 14.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 to 9.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 and from 15.6% for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 to 10.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 1998, due principally to the significant investments made by the Company in 1997 in anticipation of significant growth during fiscal 1997 and 1998. 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 nine months ended March 31, 1998. The costs consisted primarily of legal and accounting fees. 13

Provision for Income Taxes The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was 35%, which the Company estimates will be the effective tax rate for the remainder of fiscal 1998. In the quarter ended December 31, 1997, the Company recorded a one-time credit relating to the benefit of deferred tax assets assumed in the acquisition of Forte Advanced Management Software, Inc. which was an S-Corporation prior to the merger. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 109 and APB 16, such benefit is recorded in the period in which the merger is consummated. As a result of this benefit, the Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 was 33%. Liquidity and Capital Resources In June 1997, the Company completed its initial public offering in which it raised approximately $41.2 million from the sale of 2,375,000 shares of common stock and the exercise of certain Warrants. Prior to its initial public offering, the Company had financed its operations and met its capital expenditure requirements primarily from proceeds from related party advances, a $1.5 million term note (of which $900,000 was converted into Series A Preferred Stock) and the private sale of Preferred Stock, from which the Company raised $17.2 million. At March 31, 1998, the Company's primary sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents of $24.3 million and short-term investments of $23.6 million. The Company generated cash from operating activities of $8.1 million in the nine months ended March 31, 1998 related primarily to an increase in net income and an increase in deferred revenues. The Company used cash in operating activities of $671,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 1997 related primarily to an increase in accounts receivable. 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 used cash to purchase $4.4 million of property and equipment in the nine months ended March 31, 1997. The Company has established subsidiaries in foreign countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Russia, Japan 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. In connection with the sale of Series C Preferred Stock, the Company has committed to the expenditure of approximately $1.0 million toward the development of certain call center technology. The Company's commitment is cancelable by the Company in the event it encounters unforeseen technical obstacles or business challenges. The Company does not believe that this commitment 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. 14

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; 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 size, timing and recognition of revenue from significant orders; the length of sales and implementation cycles; the Company's ability to integrate acquired businesses; competition; 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 ECTI market; the deferral of customer orders in anticipation of new products and product enhancements; purchasing patterns 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. During the nine months ended March 31, 1998, the Company received a commitment from BT totaling 10 million pounds, and the Company estimates that the deployment of this order will occur over a 12 to 24 month period. 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 per site ranges from $100,000 to $300,000; however, several orders during the nine months ended March 31, 1998 have 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 until installations are complete and does not recognize the consulting component of service revenues until the services are rendered. 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 ECTI 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 its 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. 15

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. ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk ---------------------------------------------------------- Not applicable. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings ----------------- On December 17, 1996, GeoTel Communications Corporation ("GeoTel") filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts naming the Company as defendant, and alleging infringement of a patent issued to GeoTel entitled "Communications System Using a Central Controller to Control at Least One Network and Agent System", U.S. Patent No. 5,546,452 (the "GeoTel Patent"). In the complaint, GeoTel requested injunctive relief, an accounting for damages and an assessment of interest and costs, and other relief as the court deems just and proper. On February 10, 1997, the Company filed an answer in response to the complaint filed by GeoTel, asserting that the GeoTel Patent is invalid, denying the alleged patent infringement and seeking dismissal of the complaint with prejudice. A non-jury trial has been scheduled for November 30, 1998. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the asserted claims and intends to defend the litigation vigorously. GeoTel alleges that the Genesys Call Router, Genesys Call Center Manager and Genesys Call Concentrator products, and the T-Server product, as a necessary element of all Genesys products, infringe the GeoTel Patent. After consultation with patent counsel, the Company does not believe any of the products described under "Business--Products" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K infringe any valid claims of the GeoTel Patent. In connection with the Company's development of the potential new products described under "Business--Research and Development" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company has sought the advice of such counsel and believes that such potential products can be developed without infringing the GeoTel Patent; however, there can be no assurance that GeoTel will not assert infringement of the GeoTel Patent with respect to such potential new products. Further, the outcome of litigation is inherently unpredictable, and there can be no assurance that the results of these proceedings will be favorable to the Company or that they will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations. Regardless of the ultimate outcome, the GeoTel litigation could result in substantial expense to the Company and significant diversion of effort by the Company's technical and managerial personnel. If the Court determines that the Company infringes GeoTel's patent and that the GeoTel patent is valid and enforceable, it could issue an injunction against the use or sale of certain of the Company's products and it could assess significant damages against the Company. Accordingly, an adverse determination in the proceeding could subject the Company to significant liabilities and require the Company to seek a license from GeoTel. Although patent and other intellectual property disputes in the software area have sometimes been settled through licensing or similar arrangements, costs associated with such arrangements may be substantial, and there can be no assurance that a license from GeoTel, if required, would be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. Accordingly, an adverse determination in the GeoTel litigation could prevent the Company from licensing certain of its software products, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. 16

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 1997, 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 BancAmerica 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, 1998, 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. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders --------------------------------------------------- Not applicable. ITEM 5. Other Information ----------------- Not applicable. ITEM 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K -------------------------------- (a) Exhibits Exhibit Number Exhibit ------- ------- 27.1 Financial Data Schedule (b) Reports on Form 8-K. On January 15, 1998, the Company filed a Report on Form 8-K dated December 31, 1997 relating to the Company's acquisition and merger of Forte Advanced Management Software, Inc. a California corporation. 17
