BROADVISION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business
BroadVision, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “BroadVision” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on May 13, 1993 and has been a publicly-traded corporation since 1996. BroadVision develops, markets, and supports enterprise portal applications that enable companies to unify their e-business infrastructure and conduct both interactions and transactions with employees, partners, and customers through a personalized self-service model that increases revenues, reduces costs, and improves productivity.
In September 2005, the Company received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market stating that it was not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule, and that it would be provided 180 calendar days (or until March 6, 2006) to regain compliance. Because of this non-compliance and in order to complete the stock for debt exchange described below without violating applicable listing standards, the Company delivered to Nasdaq a notification of voluntarily delisting of its common stock from the Nasdaq National Market, and its common stock was delisted from the Nasdaq National Market effective March 8, 2006. Accordingly, the last day of trading on the Nasdaq National Market was March 7, 2006. Quotations for BroadVision’s common stock are currently available through the “Pink Sheets” under the trading symbol “BVSN”.
In June 2006, William Meyer resigned as our Chief Financial Officer, a position Mr. Meyer had held since April 2003. Our Chief Executive Officer has also served as Chief Financial Officer since Mr. Meyer’s resignation and will continue to serve in that capacity until a permanent replacement is hired.
As discussed more fully in our consolidated financial statements contained in Item 8 of year 2005 Form 10-K, subsequent to the issuance of the 2004 consolidated financial statements, based on clarifying SEC guidance issued in 2005, we made a determination that the convertible debentures entered into in 2004 included embedded derivatives that should be valued under the provisions of Statement of Financial Standards (SFAS) No. 133 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). We had previously determined that convertible debentures were conventional under the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-19 (“EITF 00-19”), Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock. Therefore, we have restated our operating results for the three-month period and year ended December 31, 2004, and for the three-month periods ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2005.
Basis of Presentation
At September 30, 2006, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded current assets by approximately $4.1 million (negative working capital) resulting in a working capital ratio of approximately 0.86 to 1.0. Based on our current liquidity position, our analysis of the components of our current assets and liabilities, our actual financial results for the first nine months of 2006 and our internal financial forecast for the balance of the year, we currently expect to be able to fund our working capital requirements for the next 12 months from our existing cash and cash equivalents, including the proceeds from the recently expired rights offering, and our anticipated cash flows from operations and subleases. The Company received $16.4 million from the rights offering that expired on November 28, 2006 (See Note 9). Our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and largest stockholder has committed to provide, upon our request at any time through December 31, 2006, up to $5 million of working capital support through cash, debt guarantees or a combination thereof on mutually satisfactory terms. Accordingly, no adjustments have been made to the carrying values or classification of the assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements to take into account of any uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly- owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The financial results and related information as of September 30, 2006 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2005 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not necessarily reflect all of the

Table of Contents

informational disclosures previously reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be reviewed in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions in Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make certain assumptions and estimates that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from estimates including those related to collectibility of customer accounts, the value assigned to and estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, the realizability of goodwill and tax assets, contingent liabilities and the valuation of equity securities.
Revenue Recognition
Overview — Our revenue consists of fees for licenses of our software products, maintenance, consulting services and customer training. We generally charge fees for licenses of our software products either based on the number of persons registered to use the product or based on the number of CPUs on which the product is installed. Licenses for software whereby fees charged are based upon the number of persons registered to use the product include licenses for development use and licenses for use in deployment of the customer’s website. Licenses for software whereby fees charged are on a per-CPU basis and differentiate between development and deployment usage. Our revenue recognition policies comply with the provisions of Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (“SOP 97-2”), as amended; SOP No. 98-9, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions (“SOP 98-9”) and Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104, Revenue Recognition (“SAB 104”).
Software License Revenue
We license our products through our direct sales force and indirectly through resellers and Application Service Providers (“ASP”). In general, software license revenues are recognized when a non-cancelable license agreement has been signed and the customer acknowledges an unconditional obligation to pay, the software product has been delivered, there are no uncertainties surrounding product acceptance, the fees are fixed and determinable and collection is considered probable. Delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer, which generally occurs when media containing the licensed programs is provided to a common carrier. In case of electronic delivery, delivery occurs when the customer is given access to the licensed programs. For products that cannot be used without a licensing key, the delivery requirement is met when the licensing key is made available to the customer. If collectibility is not considered probable, revenue is recognized when the fee is collected. Subscription-based license revenues are recognized ratably over the subscription period. We enter into reseller arrangements that typically provide for sublicense fees payable to us based upon a percentage of list price. We do not grant resellers the right of return.
We recognize revenue using the residual method pursuant to the requirements of SOP No. 97-2, as amended by SOP No. 98-9. Revenues recognized from multiple-element software arrangements are allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the fair values of the elements, such as licenses for software products, maintenance, consulting services or customer training. The determination of fair value is based on vendor-specific objective evidence, which is specific to us. We limit our assessment of objective evidence for each element to either the price charged when the same element is sold separately or the price established by management having the relevant authority to do so, for an element not yet sold separately. If evidence of fair value of all undelivered elements exists but evidence does not exist for one or more delivered elements, then revenue is recognized using the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue.

Table of Contents

We record unearned revenue for software license agreements when cash has been received from the customer and the agreement does not qualify for revenue recognition under our revenue recognition policy. We record accounts receivable for software license agreements when the agreement qualifies for revenue recognition but cash or other consideration has not been received from the customer.
Services Revenue
Consulting services revenues and customer training revenues are recognized as such services are performed.
Maintenance revenues, which include revenues bundled with software license agreements that entitle the customers to technical support and future unspecified enhancements to our products, are deferred and recognized ratably over the related agreement period, generally twelve months.
Our consulting services, which consist of consulting, maintenance and training, are delivered through the BroadVision Global Services (“BVGS”) organization. Services that we provide are not essential to the functionality of the software. We record reimbursement from our customers for out-of-pocket expenses as an increase to services revenues.
Employee Stock Option and Purchase Plans
On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”), and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS 123R is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock Compensation. However, SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values at the date of grant. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. On January 1, 2006 (the first day of its 2006 fiscal year), the Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method as permitted under SFAS 123R. Under the modified prospective transition method, compensation cost recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2006 and nine months ended September 30, 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with SFAS 123, adjusted for an estimated future forfeiture rate, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. Under the modified-prospective-transition method, results for the prior periods have not been restated.
In anticipation of the reporting requirements under SFAS 123R, the Company’s Board of Directors on November 29, 2005 unanimously approved accelerating the vesting of out-of-the-money, unvested stock options held by current employees, including executive officers, and members of the Board of Directors. The acceleration applied only to those options with an exercise price of $1.13 per share or higher. The closing market price of the Company’s common stock on November 28, 2005, the last full trading day before the date of the acceleration, was $0.72 per share.
The Company has two share-based compensation plans: its 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”) and its Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”).
At the Company’s 2006 annual meeting on August 8, 2006, the stockholders of the Company approved the adoption of the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, under which 3,500,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance. The Company’s 1996 Equity Incentive Plan (the prior Equity Plan) was terminated and replaced by the Equity Plan.
Under the Equity Plan, the Board of Directors may grant incentive or nonqualified stock options at prices not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock, as determined by the Board of Directors, at the date of grant. The vesting of individual options may vary but in each case at least 25% of the total number of shares subject to options will become exercisable per year. These options generally expire ten years after the grant date. When an employee option is exercised prior to vesting, any unvested shares so purchased are subject to repurchase by the Company at the original purchase price of the stock upon termination of employment. The Company’s right to repurchase lapses at a minimum rate of 20% per year over five years from the date the option was granted or, for new employees, the date of hire. Such right is exercisable only within 90 days following termination of employment.

As of September 30, 2006, the Company had 547,175 shares available for issuance under the Purchase Plan. The Purchase Plan permits eligible employees to purchase common stock with a value equivalent to a percentage of the employee’s earnings, not to exceed the lesser of 15% of the employee’s earnings or $25,000, at a price equal to the lesser of 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the offering or the date of purchase. Under APB 25, the Company was not required to recognize stock-based compensation expense for the cost of shares issued under the Company’s Stock Purchase Plan. Upon adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company began recording stock-based compensation expense related to the Purchase Plan.
The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $569,000. All compensation expenses were charged to current operations.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model which uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s stock over the expected term of the option. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The expected term of options represent the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury rate that corresponds to the pricing term of the grant effective as of the date of the grant. There was no annual dividend rate assumed as cash dividend is not expected to be declared or to be paid in the foreseeable future. During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Company determined to use the forfeiture rate of 18% as it reasonably approximates the currently anticipated rate of forfeiture for granted and outstanding options. Because of the significant effect of non-recurring events, particularly the pursuit and abandonment in 2005 of the acquisition of the Company by a private equity group, the Company does not believe that its historical data before December 31, 2005 are a good indicator of future forfeiture rate. The Company’s financial and business conditions and stock price have stabilized significantly since the end of 2005. Therefore, the Company has used its actual historical forfeiture rate from January 1, 2006 through September 30, 2006 as the basis for its estimated annualized forfeiture rate in preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Prior to adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company recognized forfeitures under SFAS 123 as they occurred. The Company grants options under the Equity Plan to both employees and non-employee directors, for whom the vesting period of the grants is generally two to five years. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the following assumptions are used for these stock option grants to determine stock-based compensation expense:
                 
    September 30, 2006
    Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended
Weighted average volatility
    85 %     85 %
Expected dividends
           
Expected term (in years)
    3       3  
Risk free rate
    5 %     5 %
Forfeiture rate
    18 %     18 %
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for employee stock-based awards in accordance with the provisions of APB 25, FASB Interpretation No. 44 (“FIN 44”), Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation—an Interpretation of APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation expense was recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. Pursuant to SFAS 123, the Company disclosed the pro forma effects of using the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements. The Company accounted for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 and EITF 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees For Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services. In accordance with these accounting standards, we recorded no stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005.
The Company determined pro forma information regarding net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share in prior years as if we had accounted for employee stock options under the fair value method as required by SFAS 123. The fair value of these stock-based awards to employees was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For purposes of pro forma disclosures during fiscal periods prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized over the vesting period of the options using the straight-line method. The Company’s pro forma information previously reported for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 was as follows (in thousands, except for per share data):

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of our common stock for the options that were in the money at September 30, 2006. The total compensation cost related to the nonvested stock options not yet recognized is approximately $120,000 for year 2006, $473,000 for year 2007, and $87,000 for year 2008.
The Company granted 144,000 shares of restricted stock to the non-employee members of its Board of Directors in March 2006.
Earnings Per Share Information
Basic income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding less shares subject to repurchase. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and, when dilutive, common equivalent shares from outstanding stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method, potential common shares from the conversion of convertible debt using the as-if converted method, and shares subject to repurchase. There were 11.0 million and 10.5 million potential common shares excluded from the determination of diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, as the effect of each share was anti-dilutive because the per-share strike price of the options under which these shares may be issued is higher than current market price. There were 7.6 million and 7.5 million potential common shares from the conversion of outstanding convertible notes excluded in the diluted shares outstanding during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, as the effect of such shares is anti-dilutive. The following table sets forth the basic and diluted income per share computational data for the periods presented.

Foreign Currency Transactions
The Company’s functional currencies for all foreign subsidiaries are the local currency of the respective countries. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates for the period. Currency translation adjustments are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), a component of stockholders’ equity. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of foreign currency assets and liabilities are included in other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Foreign exchange gains and losses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was an expense of $32,000 as compared to expense of $33,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Foreign exchange gains and losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was an expense of $206,000 as compared to expense of $128,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
The Company periodically assesses the impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Company assesses the impairment of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
The Company adopted SFAS No.142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”), on January 1, 2002. Pursuant to SFAS 142, the Company is required to test its goodwill for impairment upon adoption and annually or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. SFAS 142 provides for a two-step approach to determining whether and by how much goodwill has been impaired. The first step requires a comparison of the fair value of the Company to its net book value. If the fair value is greater, then no impairment is deemed to have occurred. If the fair value is less, then the second step must be completed to determine the amount, if any, of actual impairment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, there were no such impairments of goodwill, or other long-lived assets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company has recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $13.2 million, respectively.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances in order to conform to the current period financial statement presentation.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss), which consists of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments. Total accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is displayed as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and is summarized as follows: (in thousands):

New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 06-3, How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement”. The scope of EITF 06-3 includes sales, use, value added and some excise taxes that are assessed by a governmental authority on specific revenue-producing transactions between a seller and customer. EITF 06-3 states that a company should disclose its accounting policy (i.e., gross or net presentation) regarding the presentation of taxes within its scope, and if significant, these disclosures should be applied retrospectively to the financial statements for all periods presented. EITF 06-3 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of EITF 06-3 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN No. 48”) which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, FIN No. 48 provides guidance on the derecognition, classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. The accounting provisions of FIN No. 48 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is in the process of determining the effect, if any, that the adoption of FIN No. 48 will have on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the SEC issued SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. SAB No. 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be taken into consideration when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements for purposes of determining whether the current year’s financial statements are materially misstated. SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2006. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of SAB No. 108 on our financial position and results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, FairValue Measurements. SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This framework is intended to provide increased consistency in how fair value determinations are made under various existing accounting standards which permit, or in some cases require, estimates of fair market value. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including any financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 on our financial position and results of operations.

The Company has maintained various credit facilities with a commercial lender:
    At December 31, 2005, the Company maintained a revolving line of credit in the form of a loan and security agreement with a commercial lender, which expired in February 2006. No amounts were outstanding under this credit facility as of the third quarter of 2006.
 
    The Company has entered into term debt in the form of notes payable with the same lender. The term debt requires monthly payments of approximately $38,000 plus interest through October 2006, and monthly payments of approximately $2,000 for the five months ending March 2007. A portion of the term debt was utilized for an equipment line of credit. Principal and interest are due in monthly payments through maturity based on the terms of the facilities. As of December 31, 2005, the entire balance of $389,000 was classified as currently due. The Company paid off the entire balance in the third quarter of 2006.
Convertible Notes
In November 2004, the Company issued $16.0 million of notes that were convertible, at the holders’ option, into common stock at a conversion price of $2.76 per share, subject to adjustment in certain defined circumstances, including dilutive equity issuances (the “Notes”). The Notes bore interest at a rate of six percent per annum. In October 2005, the Company inadvertently did not make timely payment of the third quarter interest payment due under the Notes. Lack of timely payment became an event of default. As a result, the event of default permitted each noteholder to require the Company to redeem 120% of all or any portion of the amounts outstanding under the applicable Note. During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company recorded additional principal of $2.6 million, which represented the 20% increase in the redeemable debt premium.
In November 2005, the Notes were purchased by an unaffiliated investor, and subsequently on November 18, 2005, the Notes were purchased by an entity controlled by Dr. Pehong Chen, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. On December 20, 2005, in order to relieve BroadVision from the liquidity challenges presented by the Notes, Dr. Chen and the Company entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement whereby Dr. Chen agreed to cancel all amounts owed under the Notes in exchange for 34,500,000 shares of BroadVision common stock, which were issued in March 2006 as discussed below, at an effective price per share of $0.45, representing a 25% discount to the December 20, 2005 closing price of BroadVision common stock of $0.60 per share. Because of the significant difference between the $0.45 per share exchange price and the $2.76 per share conversion price included in the Notes, the Company accounted for this transaction as a deemed extinguishment and reissuance of the Notes. A loss of $7.0 million was recorded in December 2005 under APB No. 26, Extinguishment of Debt, equal to fair value of the reissued Notes (which was determined to be the fair value of the underlying common shares into which the Notes were to be exchanged) less the carrying value of the extinguished Notes. As a result, the Notes were carried at December 31, 2005 at fair value of the Common Stock on December 20, 2005 of $20.5 million less shares representing interest of $165,000.
In March 2006, the notes were cancelled and the related shares were issued. As a result of this share issuance, the percentage of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock held by Dr. Chen increased to approximately 59%. The issuance of shares was recorded in Stockholders’ equity (deficit) at the amount then outstanding of $20.5 million.
The Company made a determination that the convertible notes entered into in 2004 included certain embedded derivatives (conversion feature and additional investment rights) that should be valued under the provisions of SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”). The additional investment rights expired during the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Accordingly, the conversion feature and additional investment rights have been revalued each applicable reporting period under SFAS 133, with the resulting gains and losses recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Further, in conjunction with the December 20, 2005 Debt Conversion Agreement, the conversion feature was no longer considered to be a derivative, as the conversion rate was

Page 14


Table of Contents

fixed at $0.45 per share. Additional investment rights of $132,000 were included in the fair value of the Notes upon modification on December 20, 2005.
In conjunction with the issuance of the Notes to the institutional investors in the original private placement, the Company issued warrants to purchase 1,739,130 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.58 per share. The issuance of shares to Dr. Chen in March 2006 under the terms of the Debt Conversion Agreement resulted in an adjustment in the exercise price of, and number of shares underlying, the warrants, pursuant to the terms of such warrants. As a result, the warrants became exercisable for 3,082,219 common shares at an exercise price of $2.02 per shares. The warrants were exercisable beginning in May 2005 and have a five-year life. None of the warrants have been exercised as of September 30, 2006. The warrants have been accounted for as a derivative under SFAS 133, as the warrants allow for the potential settlement in cash. As such, the warrants have been revalued each reporting period under SFAS 133, with the resulting gains and losses recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
As of September 30, 2006, the following warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock were outstanding:

The warrant issued in connection with the real estate transaction has a term of five years and became exercisable beginning in August 2005. The warrant had not been exercised as of September 30, 2006.
In connection with the Note cancellation and stock issuance discussed above the warrants issued to the original Note purchases in November 2004 (see Note 3), which were originally exercisable to purchase 1,739,130 shares at an exercise price of $3.58 per share, were adjusted such that, following share issuance pursuant to the Note Conversion Agreement, the warrants became exercisable for 3,082,219 common shares at an exercise price of $2.02 per share. The Company recorded a charge of $282,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2006 to reflect the issuance of additional warrants, in its consolidated financial statements. The remaining terms of the warrants were unchanged. The warrants have a term of five years and became exercisable beginning in May 2005. None had been exercised as of September 30, 2006.
In accordance with EITF 00-19, the warrants issued to the original Note purchases have been included as a short-term liability and were originally valued at fair value on the date of issuance. The warrants are revalued each period until and unless the warrants are exercised. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded loss related to the revaluation of warrants to the landlord and note holders of approximately $317,000 and $703,000, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company recorded gain related to the revaluation of warrants to the landlord and note holders of approximately $794,000 and $11,042,000, respectively. These gains and losses are included of other income (expense), net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. If the warrants are exercised prior to their termination, their carrying value will be transferred to equity.

Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies
Warranties and Indemnification
The Company provides a warranty to its customers that its software will perform substantially in accordance with documentation typically for a period of 90 days following receipt of the software. The Company also indemnifies certain customers from third-party claims of intellectual property infringement relating to the use of its products. Historically, costs related to these guarantees have not been significant and the Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential impact of these guarantees on its future results of operations.
The Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer is, or was, serving in such capacity. The term of the indemnification period is for so long as such officer or director is subject to an indemnifiable event by reason of the fact that such person was serving in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has a director and officer’s insurance policy that limits its exposure and enables the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. As a result of the Company’s insurance policy coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is insignificant. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of either September 30, 2006 or December 31, 2005. The Company assesses the need for an indemnification reserve on a quarterly basis and there can be no guarantee that an indemnification reserve will not become necessary in the future.
Leases
The Company leases its headquarter facility and its other facilities under non-cancelable operating lease agreements expiring through the year 2012. Under the terms of the lease agreements, the Company is required to pay rental costs, property taxes, insurance and normal maintenance costs.
A summary of total future minimum lease payments, net of future sublease income, as of September 30, 2006, under non-cancelable operating lease agreements is as follows (in millions):

Standby Letter of Credit Commitments
As of September 30, 2006, the Company had $2.0 million of outstanding commitments in the form of standby letters of credit, primarily in favor of the Company’s various landlords to secure obligations under the Company’s facility leases. Restricted cash of $2.0 million supports the letters of credit, as collateral. By their terms, the letters of credit expire in

Page 16

December 2006 and June 2007, for $1.0 million each. The terms of the collateral arrangements expire with respect to $1.0 million in each of December 2007 and October 2012. Such cash will become non-restricted when the terms of the collateral arrangements expire.
Legal Matters
The Company is subject from time to time to various legal actions and other claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not presently a party to any material legal proceedings. Management believes that exposure related to any potential legal proceedings is immaterial to the Company’s financial results.

Note 6. Restructuring Charges
Through September 30, 2006, the Company has approved certain restructuring plans to, among other things, reduce its workforce and consolidate facilities. Restructuring and asset impairment charges have been taken to align the Company’s cost structure with changing market conditions and to create a more efficient organization. The Company’s restructuring charges have been comprised primarily of: (i) severance and benefits termination costs related to the reduction of its workforce; (ii) lease termination costs and/or costs associated with permanently vacating our facilities; (iii) other incremental costs incurred as a direct result of the restructuring plan; and (iv) impairment costs related to certain long-lived assets abandoned. The Company accounts for each of these costs in accordance with SAB 100, Restructuring and Impairment Changes (SAB 100).
For each of the periods presented herein, restructuring charges consist solely of:
Severance and Termination Benefits — These costs represent severance, payroll taxes and COBRA benefits related to restructuring plans implemented prior to the date recognized. For exit or disposal activities initiated on or prior to December 31, 2002, the Company accounted for severance and benefits termination costs in accordance with EITF 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring) (“EITF 94-3”). The Company accounts for severance and benefits termination costs for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002 in accordance with SFAS 146, Accounting For Costs Associated with Exit Activities (“SFAS 146”).
Excess Facilities — These costs represent future minimum lease payments related to excess and abandoned space under lease, net of estimated sublease income and planned company occupancy. For exit or disposal activities initiated on or prior to December 31, 2002, we account for lease termination and/or abandonment costs in accordance with EITF 88-10, Costs Associated with Lease Modification or Termination. Accordingly, we recorded the costs associated with lease termination and/or abandonment when the leased property had no substantive future use or benefit to us. For exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, we account for lease termination and/or abandonment costs in accordance with SFAS 146, which requires that a liability for such costs be recognized and measured initially at fair value on the cease use date of the facility.
As of September 30, 2006, the total restructuring accrual of $4.7 million consisted of the following (in millions):
                         
    Current     Non-Current     Total  
Severance and Termination
  $ 0.4     $     $ 0.4  
Excess Facilities

Total
  $ 1.3     $ 3.4     $ 4.7  
 
                 
The Company estimates that the $0.4 million severance and termination accrual will be nearly paid in full by December 31, 2006. We expect to pay the excess facilities amounts related to restructured or abandoned leased space as follows (in millions):

The Company has based its excess facilities accrual, in part, upon estimates of future sublease income. The Company has used the following factors, among others, in making such estimates: opinions of independent real estate experts, current market conditions and rental rates, an assessment of the time period over which reasonable estimates could be made, the status of negotiations with potential subtenants, and the location of the respective facilities. The Company has recorded the low-end of a range of assumptions modeled for restructuring charges, in accordance with SFAS 5. Adjustments to the facilities accrual will be required if actual sublease income differs from amounts currently expected. The Company will review the status of restructuring activities on a quarterly basis and, if appropriate, record changes to our restructuring obligations in current operations based on management’s most current estimates.
In July and August 2004, the Company negotiated lease terminations with a landlord for its lease commitment. One of the features of the lease termination agreement is an option to buy out the lease by paying an additional $4.5 million by September 2006. In accordance with SFAS 146, the Company recorded this buyout as restructuring liability in the third quarter of 2004.
In September 2006, the Company decided not to exercise the $4.5 million lease buy-out option and instead decided to occupy a portion of the new space and sub-lease the remaining excess space. The buy out option expired in September 2006. As a result, the Company reversed the restructuring accrual related to the $4.5 million lease buy out and recorded a new restructuring accrual for the excess lease facility space. The net expense reversal or credit (benefit) of $1.9 million was reported in the third quarter of 2006 under operating expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Note 7. Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)
As discussed in more detail in Note 3, in December 2005 Dr. Chen entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement whereby Dr. Chen agreed to cancel all amounts owed under the Notes in exchange for 34,500,000 shares of BroadVision common stock. In March 2006, the Notes were cancelled and the related shares were issued. As a result of this share issuance, the $20.5 million Notes carrying amount of fair value at December 31, 2005 was converted to common stock and additional paid-in-capital in the first quarter of 2006.
Note 8. Related Party Transactions
The Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and largest stockholder has committed to provide, upon our request at any time through December 31, 2006, up to $5 million of working capital support through cash, debt guarantees or a combination thereof on mutually satisfactory terms.
See Note 3, Convertible Notes, for the transactions among the CEO, unaffiliated investors and the Company from 2004 through 2006.
In 2006, the Company executed consulting agreement with a third party in which the CEO is a passive owner and convertible note holder. The total contract value is $365,000. For the three quarters ended September 30, 2006, $93,000 was recognized as revenue. The Company received payment for the entire contract in the third quarter of 2006. The contract is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Note 9. Subsequent Event
The Company’s rights offering expired on November 28, 2006. Eligible participants exercised rights to purchase 36.4 million shares, resulting in $16.4 million in gross proceeds for the Company.

Overview
BroadVision solutions are designed to help customers increase revenues and reduce costs by moving interactions and transactions to personalized self-service via the web. Our integrated self-service application suite — including process, commerce, portal and content — offers rich functionality out of the box, and is easily configured for each customer’s e-business environment.
Over 1,000 customers — including U.S. Air Force, Lockheed Martin, Audible, Netikos, Sears, Circuit City, Iberia L.A.E. and Vodafone — have licensed BroadVision solutions to power and personalize their mission-critical web initiatives.
Worldwide demand for enterprise software has declined significantly over the past several years. The decline in venture capital spending has resulted in fewer new companies with funding to, among other things, build an on-line business. Established companies have scaled back, delayed or cancelled web-based initiatives. As a result of these reasons and others, in particular the selling challenges created by our deteriorating financial condition, we have seen significant declines in our revenue over the past five fiscal years.
Our objective is to further our position as a global supplier of web-based, self-service applications. This will require us to continue to build new functionality into our applications that offer our customers a compelling value proposition to license our products rather than design and build custom solutions.
We generate revenue from fees for licenses of our software products, and related maintenance, consulting services and customer training. We generally charge fees for licenses of our software products either based on the number of persons registered to use the product or based on the number of CPUs utilized by the machine on which the product is installed. Payment terms are generally 30 days from the date the products are delivered, the maintenance contract is booked or the consulting services are provided. In certain European markets payment cycles are 60 to 90 days, in accordance with local practice.
From 2001 through 2005, we incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations. In 2004 and 2005, we also incurred significant cash usage related to the termination of excess real estate obligations, certain reductions in workforce and the execution and subsequent termination of an acquisition agreement. Based on our current liquidity position, our analysis of the components of our current assets and liabilities, our actual financial results for the first nine months of 2006 and our internal financial forecast for the balance of the year, we currently expect to be able to fund our working capital requirements for the next 12 months from our existing cash and cash equivalents and our anticipated cash flows from operations and subleases, and our recently concluded rights offering.
We strive to anticipate changes in the demand for our services and aggressively manage our labor force appropriately. Through our budgeting process, cross-functional management participates in the planning, reviewing and managing of our business plans. This process is intended to allow us to adjust our cost structures to changing market needs, competitive landscapes and economic factors. Our emphasis on cost control helps us manage our margins even if revenues generated fall short of what we anticipated.
Recent Events
In November 2005, an entity controlled by Dr. Pehong Chen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, acquired all of our Notes then outstanding. Including interest, the Notes represented $15.5 million in debt obligations as of December 15, 2005. In order to relieve us from the liquidity challenges presented by the Notes, in December 2005, Dr. Chen agreed to cancel all amounts owed under the Notes in exchange for 34,500,000 shares of BroadVision common stock, at an effective price per share of $0.45, a 25% discount to the December 20, 2005 closing price of BroadVision common stock, and $180,000 in cash that represented the portion of the accrued interest on the Notes that was not paid in stock. That exchange was completed in March 2006. The shares of common stock issued to Dr. Chen, representing approximately 50% of the post-conversion shares outstanding, increased Dr. Chen’s ownership interest in BroadVision to approximately 59% of the total shares outstanding.
In December 2005, we announced our intention to launch a rights offering to allow each stockholder as of December 20, 2005 to purchase approximately 5.9 shares for each share of BroadVision common stock held as of such date, at a price per share of $0.45. The primary purpose of the rights offering is to allow the holders of BroadVision common stock an opportunity to further invest in BroadVision in order to maintain their proportionate interest in BroadVision common

stock, at the same price per share as the per share price afforded to Dr. Chen in connection with the Note exchange. Dr. Chen waived his right to participate in the rights offering. Our rights offering expired on November 28, 2006. Eligible participants exercised rights to purchase approximately 36.4 million shares, resulting in our receipt of $16.4 million in gross proceeds.
In order to complete the issuance of shares to Dr. Chen without violating applicable listing standards, we delivered to Nasdaq a notification of voluntary delisting of BroadVision common stock from the Nasdaq National Market effective prior to the opening of trading on March 8, 2006. We had previously received a notice from Nasdaq stating that we were not in compliance with the minimum bid price rules applicable to stocks traded on Nasdaq, and that we had until March 6, 2006 to regain compliance. Quotations for BroadVision common stock are currently available through the “Pink Sheets” (www.pinksheets.com) under the trading symbol “BVSN”.
In March 2006, we received a $1.2 million property tax refund from the County of San Mateo covering tax years 2000 through 2005. We are obligated to compensate an outside tax specialist $335,000 for its efforts to reach agreement with the County on our behalf. The net proceeds were accounted in the operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
In June 2006, William Meyer resigned as our Chief Financial Officer, a position Mr. Meyer had held since April 2003. Dr. Chen has served as Chief Financial Officer since Mr. Meyer’s resignation and will continue to serve in that capacity until a permanent replacement is hired.
On October 13, 2006, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the replacement of Stonefield Josephson, Inc. (“Stonefield Josephson”) as our independent registered public accounting firm, and we advised Stonefield Josephson of its dismissal on October 14, 2006. On October 16, 2006, we engaged the independent registered public accounting firm Odenberg, Ullakko, Muranishi & Co. LLP (“OUM”) as our new independent accountants.
Critical Accounting Policies
This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. In preparing these financial statements, we are required to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill and intangible assets, equity instruments, income taxes and restructuring, as well as contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates using different assumptions or conditions. We believe our critical accounting policies reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.
At September 30, 2006, our current liabilities exceeded current assets by approximately $4.1 million (negative working capital) resulting in a working capital ratio of approximately 0.86 to 1.0. Based on our current liquidity position, our analysis of the components of our current assets and liabilities, our actual financial results for the first nine months of 2006 and our internal financial forecast for the balance of the year, we currently expect to be able to fund our working capital requirements for the next 12 months from our existing cash and cash equivalents, including the proceeds from the recently expired rights offering, and our anticipated cash flows from operations and subleases. Our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and largest stockholder has committed to provide, upon our request at any time through December 31, 2006, up to $5 million of working capital support through cash, debt guarantees or a combination thereof on mutually satisfactory terms. Accordingly, no adjustments have been made to the carrying values or classification of the assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements to take account of any uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
As discussed more fully in our consolidated financial statements contained in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, subsequent to the issuance of the 2004 consolidated financial statements, based on clarifying SEC guidance issued in 2005, we made a determination that the convertible debentures entered into in 2004 included embedded derivatives that should be valued under the provisions of SFAS 133. We had previously determined that convertible debentures were conventional under the provisions of EITF 00-19. Therefore, we have restated our operating results for the three-month period and year ended December 31, 2004, and for the three-month periods ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2005.

Revenue Recognition
Overview — Our revenue consists of fees for licenses of our software products, maintenance, consulting services and customer training. We generally charge fees for licenses of our software products either based on the number of persons registered to use the product or based on the number of CPUs on the machine on which the product is installed. Licenses for software whereby fees charged are based upon the number of persons registered to use the product include licenses for development use and licenses for use in deployment of the customer’s website. Licenses for software whereby fees charged are on a per-CPU basis do not differentiate between development and deployment usage. Our revenue recognition policies comply with the provisions of Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (“SOP 97-2”), as amended; SOP No. 98-9, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions (“SOP 98-9”) and SAB 104, Revenue Recognition (“SAB 104”).
Software License Revenue
We license our products through our direct sales force and indirectly through resellers. In general, software license revenues are recognized when a non-cancelable license agreement has been signed and the customer acknowledges an unconditional obligation to pay, the software product has been delivered, there are no uncertainties surrounding product acceptance, the fees are fixed and determinable and collection is considered probable. Delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer, which generally occurs when media containing the licensed programs is provided to a common carrier. In case of electronic delivery, delivery occurs when the customer is given access to the licensed programs. For products that cannot be used without a licensing key, the delivery requirement is met when the licensing key is made available to the customer. If collectibility is not considered probable, revenue is recognized when the fee is collected. Subscription-based license revenues are recognized ratably over the subscription period. We enter into reseller arrangements that typically provide for sublicense fees payable to us based upon a percentage of list price. We do not grant resellers the right of return.
We recognize revenue using the residual method pursuant to the requirements of SOP No. 97-2, as amended by SOP No. 98-9. Revenues recognized from multiple-element software arrangements are allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the fair values of the elements, such as licenses for software products, maintenance, consulting services or customer training. The determination of fair value is based on vendor specific objective evidence, which is specific to us. We limit its assessment of objective evidence for each element to either the price charged when the same element is sold separately or the price established by management having the relevant authority to do so, for an element not yet sold separately. If evidence of fair value of all undelivered elements exists but evidence does not exist for one or more delivered elements, then revenue is recognized using the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue.
We record unearned revenue for software license agreements when cash has been received from the customer and the agreement does not qualify for revenue recognition under our revenue recognition policy. We record accounts receivable for software license agreements when the agreement qualifies for revenue recognition but cash or other consideration has not been received from the customer.
Services Revenue
Consulting services revenues and customer training revenues are recognized as such services are performed. Maintenance revenues, which include revenues bundled with software license agreements that entitle the customers to technical support and future unspecified enhancements to our products, are deferred and recognized ratably over the related agreement period, generally twelve months.
Our consulting services, which consist of consulting, maintenance and training, are delivered through the BroadVision Global Services (“BVGS”) organization. Services that we provide are not essential to the functionality of the software. We record reimbursement from our customers for out-of-pocket expenses as an increase to services revenues.
Allowances and Reserves
Occasionally, our customers experience financial difficulty after we record the revenue but before we are paid. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. Our normal payment terms are 30 to 90 days from invoice date. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Impairment Assessments
We adopted SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002. Pursuant to SFAS 142, we are required to test goodwill for impairment upon adoption and annually or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. SFAS No. 142 provides for a two-step approach to determining whether and by how much goodwill has been impaired. Since we have only one reporting unit for purposes of applying SFAS No. 142, the first step requires a comparison of the fair value of BroadVision to our net book value. If the fair value is greater, then no impairment is deemed to have occurred. If the fair value is less, then the second step must be completed to determine the amount, if any, of actual impairment. Our last impairment test was as of December 31, 2005. There were no events or circumstances from that date through September 30, 2006 indicating that a further assessment was necessary. As of September 30, 2006, our market capitalization was significantly higher than our book value.
Deferred Tax Assets
We analyze our deferred tax assets with regard to potential realization. We have established a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets to the extent that we determined that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized based upon the uncertainty of their realization. We have considered any potential loss of net operating loss (NOL), estimated future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the amount of the valuation allowance. There may be limitations on our ability to utilize NOLs, due to change of ownership. We are engaging tax specialist to evaluate the effect.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006 (the first day of its 2006 fiscal year), we adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method as permitted under SFAS 123R. Under the modified-prospective-transition method, results for the prior periods have not been restated.
In anticipation of the reporting requirements under SFAS 123R, our Board of Directors on November 29, 2005 unanimously approved accelerating the vesting of out-of-the-money, unvested stock options held by current employees, including executive officers, and Board members. The acceleration applied only to those options with an exercise price of $1.13 per share or higher. The closing market price of BroadVision common stock on November 28, 2005, the last full trading day before the date of the acceleration, was $0.72 per share. The following table summarizes the options for which vesting was accelerated:
                 
    Aggregate Number of Common Shares   Weighted Average
    Issuable Under Accelerated Stock Options   Exercise Price Per Share
Total Non-Employee Directors
    122,181     $ 2.98  
Total Named Executive Officers
    391,886       2.87  
 
               
Total Directors and Named Executive
    514,067       2.89  
Total All Other Employees
    610,707       2.97  
 
               
Total
    1,124,774       2.94  
 
               
The decision to accelerate vesting of these options was made to avoid recognizing compensation cost in the Company’s statements of operations as required under the provisions of SFAS 123R, which was effective as of January 1, 2006.
In accordance with SFAS 123R, in our first nine months of 2006 we started to recognize compensation expense related to stock options granted to employees based on: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with SFAS 123, adjusted for an estimated future forfeiture rate, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R.
Our assessment of the estimated fair value of the stock options granted is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. We utilize the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted. Generally, our calculation of the fair value for options granted under SFAS 123R is similar to the calculation of fair value under SFAS 123 with the exception of the treatment of forfeitures. The fair value of restricted stock units granted is based on the grate date price of our common stock.

Page 24


Table of Contents

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. This model also requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including:
    The expected volatility of our common stock price, which we determine based on historical volatility of our common stock over the expected term of the option;
 
    Expected dividends, which are nil, as we do not currently anticipate issuing dividends;
 
    Expected life of the stock option, which is estimated based on the historical stock option exercise behavior of our employees; and
 
    Expected forfeitures of stock options, which is estimated based on the historical turnover of our employees. Prior to adoption of FAS 123R, we recognized forfeitures under FAS 123 as they occurred.
In the future, we may elect to use different assumptions under the Black-Scholes valuation model or a different valuation model, which could result in a significantly different impact on our net income or loss.
Restructuring Charges
Through September 30, 2006, we have approved restructuring plans to, among other things, reduce our workforce and consolidate facilities. Restructuring and asset impairment charges were taken to align our cost structure with changing market conditions and to create a more efficient organization. Our restructuring charges are comprised primarily of: (i) severance and benefits termination costs related to the reduction of our workforce; (ii) lease termination costs and/or costs associated with permanently vacating our facilities; (iii) other incremental costs incurred as a direct result of the restructuring plan; and (iv) impairment costs related to certain long-lived assets abandoned. We account for each of these costs in accordance with SAB 100.
Severance and Termination Costs.
We account for severance and benefits termination costs as follows:
 For exit or disposal activities initiated on or prior to December 31, 2002, we account for costs in accordance with EITF 94-3. Accordingly, we record the liability related to these termination costs when the following conditions have been met: (i) management with the appropriate level of authority approves a termination plan that commits us to such plan and establishes the benefits the employees will receive upon termination; (ii) the benefit arrangement is communicated to the employees in sufficient detail to enable the employees to determine the termination benefits; (iii) the plan specifically identifies the number of employees to be terminated, their locations and their job classifications; and (iv) the period of time to implement the plan does not indicate changes to the plan are likely.
 For exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, we account for costs in accordance with SFAS 146. SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred.
Excess Facilities Costs.
We account for excess facilities costs as follows:
 For exit or disposal activities initiated on or prior to December 31, 2002, we account for lease termination and/or abandonment costs in accordance with EITF 88-10, Costs Associated with Lease Modification or Termination. Accordingly, we recorded the costs associated with lease termination and/or abandonment when the leased property had no substantive future use or benefit to us.
 For exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, we account for lease termination and/or abandonment costs in accordance with SFAS 146, which requires that a liability for such costs be recognized and measured initially at fair value on the cease use date of the facility.
Severance and termination costs and excess facilities costs we record under these provisions are not associated with nor do they benefit continuing activities.

Table of Contents

Inherent in the estimation of the costs related to our restructuring efforts are assessments related to the most likely expected outcome of the significant actions to accomplish the restructuring. In determining the charges related to the restructurings to date, the majority of estimates made by management have related to charges for excess facilities. In determining the charges for excess facilities, we were required to estimate future sublease income, future net operating expenses of the facilities, and brokerage commissions, among other expenses. The most significant of these estimates have related to the timing and extent of future sublease income in which to reduce our lease obligations. We based our estimates of sublease income, in part, on the opinions of independent real estate experts, current market conditions and rental rates, an assessment of the time period over which reasonable estimates could be made, the status of negotiations with potential subtenants, and the location of the respective facility, among other factors. We have recorded the low-end of a range of assumptions modeled for restructuring charges, in accordance with SFAS 5. Adjustments to the facilities accrual will be required if actual lease exit costs or sublease income differ from amounts currently expected. We will review the status of restructuring activities on a quarterly basis and, if appropriate, record changes to our restructuring obligations in current operations based on management’s most current estimates.
Research and Development and Software Development Costs
Under the criteria set forth in SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed, development costs incurred in the research and development of new software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility in the form of a working model has been established at which time such costs are capitalized and recorded at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. The costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of a working model but prior to general release of the product have not been significant. To date, we have has not capitalized any costs related to the development of software for external use.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all debt and equity securities with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Our short-term investments consist of debt and equity securities that are classified as available-for-sale. Our debt securities are carried at fair value with related unrealized gains or losses reported as other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.
Our cash, and cash equivalents, at cost, which approximates fair value, consisted of the following as of September 30, 2006 (in thousands, unaudited) and as of December 31, 2005 (in thousands):
                 
    September 30,     December 31,  
    2006     2005

    (Fair value)     (Fair value)  
Cash and certificates of deposits
  $ 15,746     $ 4,030

    1,158       819  
 
           
Total cash and equivalents
  $ 16,904     $ 4,849  
 
           
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial assets that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, and trade accounts receivable. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents with two separate financial institutions. We market and sell our products throughout the world and perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers. We maintain reserves for potential credit losses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, no one customer accounted for more than 10% total revenue or accounts receivable.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. We do not have any derivative financial instruments. We believe the reported carrying amounts of its financial instruments approximates fair value, based upon the short maturity of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and payable, and based on the current rates available to it on similar debt issues.

Foreign Currency
We license our products and maintain significant operations in foreign countries. Fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies, principally the Euro, relative to the United States dollar have impacted our operating results in the past and may do so in the future. We expect that international license, maintenance and consulting revenues will continue to account for a significant portion of our total revenues in the future. We pay the expenses of our international operations in local currencies and do not currently engage in hedging transactions with respect to such obligations.
Legal Matters
We are subject from time to time to various legal actions and other claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not presently a party to any material legal proceedings. Management believes that exposure related to any potential legal proceedings is immaterial to the Company’s financial results.

Software license revenues increased 52% during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $4.7 million as compared to $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Software license revenue increased 2.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $11.2 million, as compared to $10.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Such increases were mainly due to increased license sales to existing customers in North America. License revenue in Europe declined due to our consolidation of operations and sales organizations in this region.
Services revenues consisting of consulting revenues, customer training revenues and maintenance revenues decreased 19% during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $8.8 million as compared to $10.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Service revenues decreased 21% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $27.7 million as compared to $35.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in service revenues was attributable to both lower maintenance and consulting revenues. Maintenance revenues decreased 6% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $6.1 million as compared to $6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Maintenance revenues decreased 11% for the nine month ended September 30, 2006 to $18.0 million as compared to $20.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Maintenance revenue decreased due to certain existing customers declining to renew annual maintenance services. Consulting revenues decreased 39% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $2.7 million as compared to $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Consulting revenues decreased 34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $9.7 million as compared to $14.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This decline is attributable to our increased selectivity in entering into consulting agreements, particularly in Europe, in an effort to improve gross margin.
Total revenue from Europe decreased significantly in 2006 comparing to 2005. As part of our restructuring plan, we closed offices and laid off many employees in Europe. As a result, our focus in Europe was to settle with affected landlords, former employees and vendors. These settlements consumed significant time and effort, which adversely affected sales activities.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of software license revenues includes the costs of product media, duplication, packaging and other manufacturing costs, as well as royalties payable to third parties for software that is either embedded in, or bundled and licensed with, our products. Cost of services consists primarily of employee-related costs, third-party consultant fees incurred on consulting projects, post-contract customer support and instructional training services. A summary of our cost of revenues is as follows (dollars in thousands, unaudited):

Cost of (credit for) software licenses decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $22,000 as compared to $106,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The cost of software licenses increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $226,000 as compared to $(137,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This increase was primarily due to the reversal of royalty costs no longer considered payable in the three quarters ended September 30, 2005.
Cost of services decreased $2.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $2.7 million as compared to $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The cost of services decreased 40% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $10.3 million as compared to $17.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This decline was attributable to lower consulting headcount in Europe and the Middle East regions and lower customer support headcount in the Americas, as well as decreased revenue.
Gross margin increased to 80% during the three months ended September 30, 2006 from 59% for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Gross margin increased to 73% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from 63% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase is a result of our restructuring and cost control plans. As part of cost control, temporary employee costs were reduced significantly. In addition, we increased our selectivity in accepting consulting agreements in an effort to improve gross margin.

Operating Expenses and Other Income, net
Operating expenses consists of the following:
 Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, employee-related benefit costs and consulting fees incurred in association with the development of our products. Costs incurred for the research and development of new software products are expensed as incurred until such time that technological feasibility, in the form of a working model, is established at which time such costs are capitalized and recorded at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. The costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of a working model but prior to general release of the product have not been significant to date, and we have not capitalized any costs related to the development of software for external use.
 Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, employee-related benefit costs, commissions and other incentive compensation, travel and entertainment and marketing program-related expenditures such as collateral materials, trade shows, public relations, advertising, and creative services.
 General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, employee-related benefit costs, provisions and credits related to uncollectible accounts receivable and professional service fees.
 Restructuring charges represent costs incurred to restructure company operations. These charges, including charges for excess facilities, severance and certain non-cash items, were recorded under the provisions of EITF 94-3 and SFAS 146.
Goodwill impairment represents costs to write-off goodwill. As of January 1, 2002, we no longer amortize goodwill in accordance with SFAS 142.
A summary of operating expenses is set forth in the following table. The percentage of expenses is calculated based on total revenues (dollars in thousands, unaudited):

(1)   Expressed as a percent of total revenues for the period indicated
Research and development expenses decreased 10% during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $2.8 million as compared to $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Research and development expenses decreased 31% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $7.8 million as compared to $11.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily attributable to reduced headcount as a result of layoffs, natural attrition and lower overhead allocations.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased 38% during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $1.8 million as compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 56% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $6.1 million as compared to $13.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in the size of our sales organization, and a reduction in our marketing activities, combined with lower commissions on lower license revenue.
General and administrative expenses increased 9% during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $2.4 million as compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. This increase was primarily due to our incurrence of expenses related to stockholder meetings and related professional fees, which we incurred in the second quarter of 2005 and the third quarter of 2006. General and administrative expenses were comparable during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $7.4 million as compared to $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Restructuring charges. Through September 30, 2006, we have approved restructuring plans to, among other things, reduce our workforce and consolidate facilities. We took restructuring and asset impairment charges to align our cost structure with changing market conditions and to create a more efficient organization. Our restructuring charges are comprised primarily of: (i) severance and benefits termination costs related to the reduction of our workforce; (ii) lease termination costs and/or costs associated with permanently vacating our facilities; (iii) other incremental costs incurred as a direct result of the restructuring plan; and (iv) impairment costs related to certain long-lived assets abandoned. We account for each of these costs in accordance with SAB 100.
In September 2006, we decided not to exercise a $4.5 million lease buy-out option and instead decided to occupy a portion of the new space and sub-lease the remaining excess space. The buy-out option expired in September 2006. As a result, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, we reversed the restructuring accrual related to the $4.5 million lease buy-out and recorded a new restructuring accrual for the excess lease facility space. We recorded a net expense reversal or credit (benefit) of $1.9 million. The excess facilities charge and credit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 related primarily to an adjustment of $175,000 and $1.2 million, respectively, to fair value of the warrant issued to a previous landlord as part of a lease settlement in 2004. Adjustments to the restructuring accruals will be made in future periods, if necessary, based upon the then current actual events and circumstances.
Goodwill impairment. On April 14, 2000, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Interleaf, Inc. in a transaction accounted for as a purchase business combination. As a result of this transaction, we recorded goodwill and other intangible assets of $794.7 million. Amortization of recognizable intangible assets related to the Interleaf transaction was $3.5 million in 2002. In the third quarter of 2005, we determined that an impairment of the goodwill had occurred, and therefore we recorded a write-off of $13.2 million as an estimated impairment amount. No impairment was necessary for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Interest income (expense), net was income of $225,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to expense of $778,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Interest income (expense), net, was income of $457,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to expense of $1,054,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Interest expense decreased in 2006 due to the cancellation of convertible notes in March 2006. (See Note 3).
(Loss) gain on revaluation of warrants and change in value of derivatives was a loss of $317,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to a gain of $794,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. (Loss) gain on revaluation of warrants and change in value of derivatives was a loss of $703,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to a gain of $11.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease was primarily attributable to the cancellation of convertible notes in March 2006.
Other income, net, was loss of $71,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to loss of $478,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Other income, net, was income of $191,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to loss of $564,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The income in 2006 was primarily due to recognition of gains on the disposition of equity investments that we had written off in the prior years.
(Provision) benefit for income taxes, was a provision of $228,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The expenses related to Alternative Minimum Taxes (AMT) calculated at both Federal and state levels after net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards have been applied. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded a tax benefit of $541,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded a tax provision $449,000 as compared to a benefit $2.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 was primary due to the net loss carryforwards.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Background and Overview
At September 30, 2006, our current liabilities exceeded current assets by approximately $4.1 million (negative working capital) resulting in a working capital ratio of approximately 0.86 to 1.0. Based on our current liquidity position, our analysis of the components of our current assets and liabilities, our actual financial results for the first nine months of 2006 and our internal financial forecast for the balance of the year, we currently expect to be able to fund our working

capital requirements for the next 12 months from our existing cash and cash equivalents, including the proceeds from the recently expired rights offering, and our anticipated cash flows from operations and subleases. Our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and largest stockholder has committed to provide, upon our request at any time through December 31, 2006, up to $5 million of working capital support through cash, debt guarantees or a combination thereof on mutually satisfactory terms. Accordingly, no adjustments have been made to the carrying values or classification of the assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements to take account of any uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our capital requirements relate primarily to facilities, employee infrastructure and working capital needs. Historically, we have funded our cash requirements primarily through public and private sales of equity and debt securities, and commercial credit facilities. As of September 30, 2006, cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash and investments totaled $18.9 million, which represents an increase of $12.1 million as compared to a balance of $6.8 million on December 31, 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to net cash generated from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
The Company’s rights offering expired on November 28, 2006. Eligible participants exercised rights to purchase 36.4 million shares, resulting in $16.4 million in gross proceeds for the Company.

Commitments totaling $2.0 million in the form of standby letters of credit were issued on our behalf from financial institutions as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, primarily in favor of our various landlords to secure obligations under our facility leases. Accordingly, $2.0 million have been presented as restricted cash in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio. We had no derivative financial instruments as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. We place our investments in instruments that meet high credit quality standards and the amount of credit exposure to any one issue, issuer and type of instrument is limited. Our interest rate risk related to borrowings historically has been minimal as interest expense related to adjustable rate borrowings has been immaterial for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
Cash Provided By (Used In) Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $12.0 million for nine months ended September 30, 2006. The primary reason for the net cash provided by operating activities was net operating income of $8.0 million, along with $1.3 million of unearned revenue and deferred maintenance revenue received in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Other significant adjustments to reconcile net income to cash provided by operating activities included net increases in accounts receivable aggregating approximately $5.3 million and decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2.0 million.
Cash used in operating activities was $34.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The reasons for the net cash used by operating activities were net operating loss $11.1 million, the payment of accrued liabilities of $5.2 million, the decrease of restructuring accrual by $24.0 million, and the decrease of unearned revenue and deferred maintenance by $4.3 million. Other significant adjustments to reconcile net income to cash used for operating activities included the non-cash gain on sale of cost method investments of $1.1 million, the non-cash release of income tax reserves of $2.0 million, and the gain on revaluation of warrants to fair value of $11.0 million.

Cash Provided By Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities was $271,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and was primary due to $386,000 proceed from sales of the investment. Cash provided by investing activities was $21.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and was primarily due to transfers from restricted cash of $20.3 million and proceeds from dividends of $1.1 million. Our capital expenditures consisted of purchases of operating resources to manage our operations and consisted primarily of computer hardware and software.
Cash Used In Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities was $331,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, mainly as a result paying down bank term debt offset by proceeds from stock issuance of $58,000. Cash used in financing activities was $23.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, consisting of $23.6 million used for repayment of borrowings, net of new borrowings, offset by $598,000 funds received for the issuance of common stock.
Leases and Other Contractual Obligations
We lease our headquarters facility and our other facilities under non-cancelable operating lease agreements expiring through the year 2012. Under the terms of the agreements, we are required to pay lease costs, property taxes, insurance and normal maintenance costs.
A summary of total future minimum lease payments as of September 30, 2006, under non-cancelable operating lease agreements, is as follows (in millions):

Restricted cash represents collateral for letters of credit By their terms, the letters of credit expire in December 2006 and June 2007, for $1.0 million each. The terms of the collateral arrangements expire with respect to $1.0 million in each of December 2007 and October 2012. Such cash will become non-restricted when the terms of the collateral arrangements expire.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio. We had no derivative financial instruments as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. We place our investments in instruments that meet high credit quality standards and the amount of credit exposure to any one issue, issuer and type of instrument is limited. Our interest rate risk related to borrowings historically has been minimal as interest expense related to adjustable rate borrowings has been immaterial for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2006. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2006, (1) our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to ensure that material information relating to our company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer by others within those entities particularly during the period in which this report was being prepared and (2) although we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed and summarized, such information was not timely reported and thus such controls and procedures were not effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We reported one material weakness as of December 31, 2005, as set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on June 9, 2006. We reported the same material weakness as of March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, as set forth in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Commission on August 10, 2006 and September 25, 2006, respectively. In addition, in June 2006, William Meyer resigned as our Chief Financial Officer, a position Mr. Meyer had held since April 2003. Our Chief Executive Officer has also served as Chief Financial Officer since Mr. Meyer’s resignation and will continue to serve in that capacity until a permanent replacement is hired.
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2006, we hired key finance and accounting personnel, including Vice President of Finance, Corporate Controller, and a senior accountant. All of these new hires had extensive general ledger, reconciliation, and financial reporting experience. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, we hired a Revenue Manager and two additional senior accountants with extensive general ledger, account analysis and reconciliation experience. In October 2006, we hired another accountant with audit experience in a “Big 4” public accounting firm.
There were no additional changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
As of September 30, 2006, we believe that we have retained a sufficient number of experienced personnel in our accounting and finance organization to permit the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Although the above-mentioned new hires have augmented the capabilities of our organization, they replaced employees or part-time contactors who had left the Company for various reasons. This turnover has caused degradation in our institutional knowledge regarding historical events; and, therefore, may delay an efficient financial statement close process. If we have not been successful in remedying this degradation, there is more than a remote likelihood that our quarterly or annual financial statements could be materially misstated, which could require a restatement.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and we are in the process of remediating the aforementioned material weakness.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are subject from time to time to various legal actions and other claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not presently a party to any material legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
          The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business could be harmed. In that event, the trading price of our common stock could decline.
We have a history of losses and our future profitability on a quarterly or annual basis is uncertain, which could have a harmful effect on our business and the value of BroadVision common stock.
          While we generated positive operating income and cash flow in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we have incurred substantial cumulative net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since 2000. As of September 30, 2006, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $1.2 billion.
          Given our planned operating and capital expenditures, for the foreseeable future we expect our results of operations to fluctuate, and during this period we may incur losses and/or negative cash flows. If our revenue does not increase or if we fail to maintain our expenses at an amount less than our projected revenue, we will not be able to achieve or sustain operating profitability on a consistent basis, if at all. We are continuing efforts to reduce and control our expense structure. We believe strict cost containment and expense reductions are essential to achieving positive cash flow and profitability. A number of factors could preclude us from successfully bringing costs and expenses in line with our revenues, including unplanned uses of cash, the inability to accurately forecast business activities and further deterioration of our revenues. If we are not able to effectively reduce our costs and achieve an expense structure commensurate with our business activities and revenues, we may have inadequate levels of cash for operations or for capital requirements, which could significantly harm our ability to operate our business.
          Our failure to operate profitably or control negative cash flows on a quarterly or annual basis could harm our business and the value of BroadVision common stock. If the negative cash flow continues, our liquidity and ability to operate our business would be severely and adversely impacted. Additionally, our ability to raise financial capital may be hindered due to our operational losses and negative cash flows, reducing our operating flexibility.
We face liquidity challenges and may need additional near-term financing.
          We face liquidity challenges. We currently expect to be able to fund our working capital requirements from our existing cash and cash equivalents and our anticipated cash flows from operations and subleases. However, we could experience unforeseen circumstances, such as an economic downturn, difficulties in retaining customers and/or key employees due going concern issues, or other factors that could increase our use of available cash and require us to seek additional financing. We may find it necessary to obtain additional equity or debt financing due to the factors listed above or in order to support a more rapid expansion, develop new or enhanced products or services, respond to competitive pressures, acquire complementary businesses or technologies or respond to unanticipated requirements. Our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and majority stockholder has committed to provide, upon our request at any time through December 31, 2006, up to $5 million of working capital support through cash, debt guarantees or a combination thereof on mutually satisfactory terms. However, we currently do not have any bank loan agreement or other similar financing arrangement in place that would entitle us to borrow additional funds, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient cash from ongoing operations, the pending rights offering or from any other source in order to fund our future working capital requirements.
          We may seek to raise additional funds through private or public sales of securities, strategic relationships, bank debt, financing under leasing arrangements or otherwise. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution or any equity securities we sell may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. We expect that obtaining additional financing on acceptable terms would be difficult, at best. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to pay our debts as they become due, develop our products, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and future operating results.
Our management identified a material weakness in the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 and restated our historical operating results, and we cannot assure you that additional material weaknesses will not be discovered or additional restatements will not be made in the future.
          Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, and this assessment identified one material weakness. Further, we restated our operating results for the year ended December 31, 2004, due to the subsequent determination that an embedded derivative existed in our convertible notes that should have been separately accounted for as a liability.

Table of Contents

          As of June 30, 2006, we did not have a sufficient number of experienced personnel in our accounting and finance organization to facilitate an efficient financial statement close process and permit the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For example, there were a significant number of adjustments to our financial statements during the course of the 2005 audit, at least one of which was individually material and required us to make the restatement described above. We also recorded several material journal entries in the first and second quarters of 2006. Our personnel also lacked certain required skills and competencies to oversee the accounting operations and perform certain important control functions, such as the review, periodic inspection and investigation of transactions of our foreign locations. We consider this to be a deficiency that is also a material weakness in the operation of entity-level controls. If we are not successful in remedying the deficiencies that caused this material weakness, there is more than a remote likelihood that our quarterly or annual financial statements could be materially misstated, which could require a restatement.
          As our future staffing is dependent upon filling the open position and retaining existing employees, we are currently unable to determine when this material weakness will be fully remediated. The market for skilled accounting personnel is competitive and we may have difficulty in retaining our staff due to (1) our efforts to restructure our operations by reducing our workforce and other cost containment activities and (2) the uncertainty created by the recent execution and subsequent termination of our merger agreement with an affiliate of Vector Capital Corporation. Our inability to staff the department with competent personnel with sufficient training has affected our internal controls over financial reporting to the extent that we may not be able to prevent or detect material misstatements. Inferior internal control could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.
Our business currently depends on revenue related to our BroadVision Self-Service Suite, and if the market does not increasingly accept this product and related products and services, our revenue may continue to decline.
          We generate our revenue from licenses of the BroadVision Self-Service Suite, including process, commerce, portal and content management and related products and services. We expect that these products, and future upgraded versions, will continue to account for a large portion of our revenue in the foreseeable future. Our future financial performance will depend on increasing acceptance of our current product and on the successful development, introduction and customer acceptance of new and enhanced versions of our products. If new and future versions and updates of our products and services do not gain market acceptance when released commercially, or if we fail to deliver the product enhancements and complementary third party products that customers want, demand for our products and services, and our revenue, may decline.
If we are unable to keep pace with the rapid technological changes in online commerce and communication, our products and services may fail to be competitive.
          Our products and services may fail to be competitive if we do not maintain or exceed the pace of technological developments in Internet commerce and communication. Failure to be competitive could cause our revenue to decline. The information services, software and communications industries are characterized by rapid technological change, changes in customer requirements, frequent new product and service introductions and enhancements and evolving industry standards and practices. The introduction of products and services embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards and practices can render existing products and services obsolete. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to:
    develop leading technologies;
 
    enhance our existing products and services;
 
    develop new products and services that address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our prospective customers; and
 
    respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a timely and cost-effective basis.
Our sales and product implementation cycles are lengthy and subject to delay, which make it difficult to predict our quarterly results.

Page 35


Table of Contents

          Our sales and product implementation cycles generally span months. Delays in customer orders or product implementations, which are difficult to predict, can affect the timing of revenue recognition and adversely affect our quarterly operating results. Licensing our products is often an enterprise-wide decision by prospective customers. The importance of this decision requires that we engage in a lengthy sales cycle with prospective customers. A successful sales cycle may last up to nine months or longer. Our sales cycle is also affected by a number of other factors, some of which we have little or no control over, including the volatility of the overall software market, the business condition and purchasing cycle of each prospective customer, and the performance of our technology partners, systems integrators and resellers. The implementation of our products can also be time and resource intensive, and subject to unexpected delays. Delays in either product sales or implementations could cause our operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter.
Because our quarterly operating results are volatile and difficult to predict, our quarterly operating results in one or future periods are likely to fluctuate significantly, which could cause our stock price to decline if we fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors.
          Our quarterly operating results have varied significantly in the past and are likely to continue to vary significantly in the future. For example, in the quarters ended March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005, September 30, 2005, December 31, 2005, and March 31, 2006, our revenues declined 22%, 23%, 18%, 1%, and 13% respectively, as compared to the previous quarters. In the quarter ended June 30, 2006, and September 30, 2006, our revenue increased 1%, and 7% respectively, as compared to the previous quarters. If our revenues, operating results, earnings or future projections are below the levels expected of securities analysts or investors, our stock price is likely to decline.
          We expect to continue to experience significant fluctuations in our results of operations due to a variety of factors, some of which are outside of our control, including:
    introduction of products and services and enhancements by us and our competitors;
 
    competitive factors that affect our pricing;
 
    market acceptance of new products;
 
    the mix of products sold by us;
 
    changes in our pricing policies or our competitors;
 
    changes in our sales incentive plans;
 
    the budgeting cycles of our customers;
 
    customer order deferrals in anticipation of new products or enhancements by our competitors or us or because of macro-economic conditions;
 
    nonrenewal of our maintenance agreements, which generally automatically renew for one-year terms unless earlier terminated by either party upon 90-days notice;
 
    product life cycles;
 
    changes in strategy;
 
    seasonal trends;
 
    the mix of distribution channels through which our products are sold;
 
    the mix of international and domestic sales;
 
    the rate at which new sales people become productive;
 
    changes in the level of operating expenses to support projected growth;
 
    increase in the amount of third party products and services that we use in our products or resell with royalties attached;
 
    fluctuations in the recorded value of outstanding common stock warrants that will be based upon changes to the underlying market value of BroadVision common stock;
 
    the timing of receipt and fulfillment of significant orders; and
 
    costs associated with litigation, regulatory compliance and other corporate events such as operational reorganizations.
          As a result of these factors, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our revenue and operating results are not necessarily meaningful, and that these comparisons are not accurate indicators of future performance. Because our staffing and operating expenses are based on anticipated revenue levels, and because a high percentage of our costs are fixed, small variations in the timing of the recognition of specific revenue could cause significant variations in

Page 36


Table of Contents

operating results from quarter to quarter. If we were unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any revenue shortfall, any significant revenue shortfall would likely have an immediate negative effect on our operating results. If our operating results in one or more future quarters fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors, we would expect to experience an immediate and significant decline in the trading price of our stock.
Because a significant portion of our sales activity occurs at the end of each fiscal quarter, delays in a relatively small number of license transactions could adversely affect our quarterly operating results.
          A significant proportion, generally over 40% of our sales are concentrated in the last month of each fiscal quarter. Gross margins are high for our license transactions. Customers and prospective customers may use these conditions in an attempt to obtain more favorable terms. While we endeavor to avoid making concessions that could result in lower margins, the negotiations often result in delays in closing license transactions. Small delays in a relatively small number of license transactions could have a significant impact on our reported operating results for that quarter.
We have substantially modified our business and operations and will need to manage and support these changes effectively in order for our business plan to succeed.
          We substantially expanded then contracted our business and operations since our inception in 1993. We grew from 652 employees at the end of 1999 to 2,412 employees at the end of 2000 and then reduced our numbers to 1,102 at the end of 2001, 449 at the end of 2002, 367 at the end of 2003, 337 at the end of 2004 and 181 at the end of 2005. On September 30, 2006, we had approximately 167 employees. As a consequence of our employee base growing and then contracting so rapidly, we entered into significant contracts for facilities space for which we ultimately determined we did not have a future use. We announced during the third and fourth quarters of 2004 that we had agreed with the landlords of various facilities to renegotiate future lease commitments, extinguishing a total of approximately $155 million of future obligations. The management of the expansion and later reduction of our operations has taken a considerable amount of our management’s attention during the past several years. As we manage our business to introduce and support new products, we will need to continue to monitor our workforce and make appropriate changes as necessary. If we are unable to support past and implement future changes effectively, we may have to divert additional resources away from executing our business plan and toward internal administration. If our expenses significantly outpace our revenues, we may have to make additional changes to our management systems and our business plan may not succeed.
Modifications to our business and operations may not result in a reduced cost structure as anticipated and may otherwise adversely impact our productivity.
          Since 2000, we have substantially modified our business and operations in order to reduce our cost structure. These modifications included closing facilities, reducing liability for idle lease space and reducing our employee headcount, while maintaining sales efforts and providing continuing customer support by reallocating the workload among continuing employees. We may not realize anticipated reductions in our cost structure, which will delay or prevent us from achieving sustained profitability. In addition, these modifications may result in lower revenues as a result of the decreased headcount in our sales and marketing and professional services groups, or other adverse impacts on productivity that we did not anticipate.
We are dependent on direct sales personnel and third-party distribution channels to achieve revenue growth.
          To date, we have sold our products primarily through our direct sales force. Our ability to achieve significant revenue growth in the future largely will depend on our success in recruiting, training and retaining sufficient direct sales personnel and establishing and maintaining relationships with distributors, resellers and systems integrators. Our products and services require a sophisticated sales effort targeted at the senior management of our prospective customers. New hires as well as employees of our distributors, resellers and systems integrators require training and take time to achieve full productivity. Our recent hires may not become as productive as necessary, and we may be unable to hire and retain sufficient numbers of qualified individuals in the future. We have entered into strategic alliance agreements with partners, under which partners have agreed to resell and support our current BroadVision product suite. These contracts are generally terminable by either party upon 30 days’ notice of an uncured material breach or for convenience upon 90 days’ notice prior to the end of any annual term. Termination of any of these alliances could harm our expected revenues. We may be unable to expand our other distribution channels, and any expansion may not result in revenue increases. If we fail to maintain and expand our direct sales force or other distribution channels, our revenues may not grow or they may decline. Revenue generated from third-party distributors in recent years has not been significant.

Failure to maintain relationships with third-party systems integrators could harm our ability to achieve our business plan.
     Our relationships with third-party systems integrators who deploy our products have been a key factor in our overall business strategy, particularly because many of our current and prospective customers rely on integrators to develop, deploy and manage their online marketplaces. Our efforts to manage our relationships with systems integrators may not succeed, which could harm our ability to achieve our business plan due to a variety of factors, including:
    Systems integrators may not view their relationships with us as valuable to their own businesses. The related arrangements typically may be terminated by either party with limited notice and in some cases are not covered by a formal agreement.
 
    Under our business model, we often rely on our system integrators’ employees to perform implementations. If we fail to work together effectively, or if these parties perform poorly, our reputation may be harmed and deployment of our products may be delayed or inadequate.
 
    Systems integrators may attempt to market their own products and services rather than ours.
 
    Our competitors may have stronger relationships with our systems integrators than us and, as a result, these integrators may recommend a competitor’s products and services over ours.
 
    If we lose our relationships with our systems integrators, we will not have the personnel necessary to deploy our products effectively, and we will need to commit significant additional sales and marketing resources in an effort to reach the markets and customers served by these parties.
We may be unable to manage or grow our international operations and assets, which could impair our overall growth or financial position.
          We derive a significant portion of our revenue from our operations outside North America. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, approximately 43% of our revenues were derived from international sales. In the nine months ended September 30, 2006, approximately 27% of our revenue was derived from European and Asia/Pacific sales. If we are unable to manage or grow our existing international operations, we may not generate sufficient revenue required to establish and maintain these operations, which could slow our overall growth and impair our operating margins.
          As we rely materially on our operations outside of North America, we are subject to significant risks of doing business internationally, including:
    difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations and safeguarding foreign assets;
 
    unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
 
    export controls relating to encryption technology and other export restrictions;
 
    tariffs and other trade barriers;
 
    difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;
 
    political and economic instability;
 
    fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
 
    reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries;
 
    cultural barriers;
 
    seasonal reductions in business activity during the summer months in Europe and certain other parts of the world; and
 
    potentially adverse tax consequences.
          Management of international operations presents special challenges, particularly at our reduced staffing levels. For example, in December 2005, an inappropriate transfer of approximately $60,000 was made from our bank account in Japan to a consulting services provider affiliated with two officers of our Japan subsidiary without the approvals required under our internal control policies. Although this transfer was later detected, the funds were recaptured and the services of the Japan subsidiary officers involved were terminated, we face the risk that other similar misappropriations of assets may occur in the future.

Page 38


Table of Contents

          In addition, our international sales growth will be limited if we are unable to establish additional foreign operations, expand international sales channel management and support, hire additional personnel, customize products for local markets and develop relationships with international service providers, distributors and system integrators. Even if we are able to successfully expand our international operations, we may not succeed in maintaining or expanding international market demand for our products.
Current and potential competitors could make it difficult for us to acquire and retain customers now and in the future.
          The market for our products is intensely competitive. We expect competition in this market to persist and increase in the future. If we fail to compete successfully with current or future competitors, we may be unable to attract and retain customers. Increased competition could also result in price reductions for our products and lower profit margins and reduced market share, any of which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
          Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, greater name recognition, a broader range of products and a larger installed customer base, any of which could provide them with a significant competitive advantage. In addition, new competitors, or alliances among existing and future competitors, may emerge and rapidly gain significant market share. Some of our competitors, particularly established software vendors, may also be able to provide customers with products and services comparable to ours at lower or at aggressively reduced prices in an effort to increase market share or as part of a broader software package they are selling to a customer. We may be unable to match competitors’ prices or price reductions, and we may fail to win customers that choose to purchase an information technology solution as part of a broader software and services package. As a result, we may be unable to compete successfully with current or new competitors.
Our success and competitive position will depend on our ability to protect our proprietary technology.
          Our success and ability to compete are dependent to a significant degree on our proprietary technology. We hold a U.S. patent, issued in January 1998, on elements of the BroadVision platform, which covers electronic commerce operations common in today’s web business. We also hold a U.S. patent, issued in November 1996, acquired as part of the Interleaf acquisition on the elements of the extensible electronic document processing system for creating new classes of active documents. Although we hold these patents, they may not provide an adequate level of intellectual property protection. In addition, litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. It is also possible that third parties may claim we have infringed their patent, trademark, copyright or other proprietary rights. Claims may be made for indemnification resulting from allegations of infringement. Intellectual property infringement claims may be asserted against us as a result of the use by third parties of our products. Claims or litigation, with or without merit, could result in substantial costs and diversions of resources, either of which could harm our business.
          We also rely on copyright, trademark, service mark, trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary rights in products and services. We have registered “BroadVision”, “iGuide”, “BroadVision Self-Service Suite”, “BroadVision Process”, “BroadVision Commerce”, “BroadVision Portal”, “BroadVision Content” and “Interleaf” as trademarks in the United States and in other countries. It is possible that our competitors or other companies will adopt product names similar to these trademarks, impeding our ability to build brand identity and possibly confusing customers.
          As a matter of company policy, we enter into confidentiality and assignment agreements with our employees, consultants and vendors. We also control access to and distribution of our software, documents and other proprietary information. Notwithstanding these precautions, it may be possible for an unauthorized third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our software or other proprietary information or to develop similar software independently. Policing unauthorized use of our products will be difficult, particularly because the global nature of the Internet makes it difficult to control the ultimate destination or security of software and other transmitted data. The laws of other countries may afford us little or no effective protection of our intellectual property.
A breach of the encryption technology that we use could expose us to liability and harm our reputation, causing a loss of customers.
          If any breach of the security technology embedded in our products were to occur, we would be exposed to liability and our reputation could be harmed, which could cause us to lose customers. A significant barrier to online commerce and communication is the secure exchange of valuable and confidential information over public networks. We rely on encryption and authentication technology, including Open SSL and public key cryptography technology featuring the major encryption algorithms RC2 and MDS, to provide the security and authentication necessary to effect the secure

Page 39


Table of Contents

exchange of confidential information. Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other events or developments could cause a breach of the RSA or other algorithms that we use to protect customer transaction data.
The loss or malfunction of technology licensed from third parties could delay the introduction of our products and services.
          We rely in part on technology that we license from third parties, including relational database management systems from Oracle and Sybase, Informix object request broker software from IONA Technologies PLC, and database access technology from Rogue Wave Software. The loss or malfunction of any of these technology licenses could harm our business. We integrate or sublicense this technology with internally developed software to perform key functions. For example, our products and services incorporate data encryption and authentication technology licensed from Open SSL. Third-party technology licenses might not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Moreover, the licensed technology may contain defects that we cannot control. Problems with our technology licenses could cause delays in introducing our products or services until equivalent technology, if available, is identified, licensed and integrated. Delays in introducing our products and services could adversely affect our results of operations.
Our executive officers, key employees and highly skilled technical and managerial personnel are critical to our business, and they may not remain with us in the future.
          Our performance substantially depends on the performance of our executive officers and key employees. We also rely on our ability to retain and motivate qualified personnel, especially our management and highly skilled development teams. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers or key employees, particularly our founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Dr. Pehong Chen, could cause us to incur increased operating expenses and divert senior management resources in searching for replacements. The loss of their services also could harm our reputation if our customers were to become concerned about our future operations. We do not carry “key person” life insurance policies on any of our employees. Our future success also depends on our continuing ability to identify, hire, train and retain other highly qualified technical and managerial personnel. Competition for these personnel is intense, especially in the Internet industry. We have in the past experienced, and may continue to experience, difficulty in hiring and retaining sufficient numbers of highly skilled employees. The significant downturn in our business and the uncertainty created by the recent execution and subsequent termination of our merger agreement with an affiliate of Vector has had and may continue to have a negative impact on our operations. We have restructured our operations by reducing our workforce and implementing other cost containment activities. These actions could lead to disruptions in our business, reduced employee morale and productivity, increased attrition, and problems with retaining existing and recruiting future employees.
Limitations on the online collection of profile information could impair the effectiveness of our products.
          Online users’ resistance to providing personal data, and laws and regulations prohibiting use of personal data gathered online without express consent or requiring businesses to notify their web site visitors of the possible dissemination of their personal data, could limit the effectiveness of our products. This in turn could adversely affect our sales and results of operations.
          One of the principal features of our products is the ability to develop and maintain profiles of online users to assist business managers in determining the nature of the content to be provided to these online users. Typically, profile information is captured when consumers, business customers and employees visit a web site and volunteer information in response to survey questions concerning their backgrounds, interests and preferences. Profiles can be augmented over time through the subsequent collection of usage data. Although our products are designed to enable the development of applications that permit web site visitors to prevent the distribution of any of their personal data beyond that specific web site, privacy concerns may nevertheless cause visitors to resist providing the personal data necessary to support this profiling capability. The mere perception by prospective customers that substantial security and privacy concerns exist among online users, whether or not valid, may indirectly inhibit market acceptance of our products.
          In addition, new laws and regulations could heighten privacy concerns by requiring businesses to notify web site users that the data captured from them while online may be used by marketing entities to direct product messages to them. We are subject to increasing regulation at the federal and state levels relating to online privacy and the use of personal user information. Several states have proposed legislation that would limit the uses of personal user information gathered online or require online services to establish privacy policies. In addition, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, has urged Congress to adopt legislation regarding the collection and use of personal identifying information

Page 40


Table of Contents

obtained from individuals when accessing web sites. The FTC has settled several proceedings resulting in consent decrees in which Internet companies have been required to establish programs regarding the manner in which personal information is collected from users and provided to third parties. We could become a party to a similar enforcement proceeding. These regulatory and enforcement efforts could also harm our customers’ ability to collect demographic and personal information from users, which could impair the effectiveness of our products.
We may not have adequate back-up systems, and natural or manmade disasters could damage our operations, reduce our revenue and lead to a loss of customers.
          We do not have fully redundant systems for service at an alternate site. A disaster could severely harm our business because our service could be interrupted for an indeterminate length of time. Our operations depend upon our ability to maintain and protect our computer systems at our facility in Redwood City, California, which reside on or near known earthquake fault zones. Although these systems are designed to be fault tolerant, they are vulnerable to damage from fire, floods, earthquakes, power loss, acts of terrorism, telecommunications failures and similar events. In addition, our facilities in California could be subject to electrical blackouts if California faces another power shortage similar to that of 2001. Although we do have a backup generator that would maintain critical operations, this generator could fail. We also have significantly reduced our workforce in a short period of time, which has placed different requirements on our systems and has caused us to lose personnel knowledgeable about our systems, both of which could make it more difficult to quickly resolve system disruptions. Disruptions in our internal business operations could harm our business by resulting in delays, disruption of our customers’ business, loss of data, and loss of customer confidence.
Risks related to BroadVision common stock
Our stock price has been highly volatile.
          The trading price of BroadVision common stock has been highly volatile. For example, the trading price of BroadVision common stock has ranged from $0.32 per share to $9.05 per share between January 1, 2004 and December 7, 2006. On December 7, 2006 the closing price of BroadVision common stock was $0.69 per share. Our stock price is subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors, including:
    quarterly variations in operating results;
 
    announcements of technological innovations;
 
    announcements of new software or services by us or our competitors;
 
    changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;
 
    general economic conditions; or
 
    other events or factors that are beyond our control.
          In addition, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the trading prices of equity securities of many technology companies. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Any negative change in the public’s perception of the prospects of Internet or electronic commerce companies could further depress our stock price regardless of our results. Other broad market fluctuations may decrease the trading price of BroadVision common stock. In the past, following declines in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation, such as the class action lawsuits filed against us and certain of our officers and directors in early 2001, has often been instituted against that company. Litigation could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.
