NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





Note 1    Basis of
Presentation





The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Pumatech, Inc. (Pumatech or the
Company) for the three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001 are unaudited and reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for their fair presentation. These condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2002. The condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2002 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current periods presentation. The results of operations for the interim period ended October 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected
for the full year.





Liquidity and Capital Resources





The Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows since inception. For the three months ended October 31, 2002, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately
$1,376,000 and negative cash flows from operations of approximately $1,426,000. The Companys cash balances may decline further, although the Company believes that the effects of its strategic actions implemented to improve revenue as well as
control costs will be adequate to generate sufficient cash resources to fund its operations. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or control spending could adversely affect the Companys ability to achieve its business objectives.





Note 2    Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements





Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets





Refer to
Note 4 for the discussion on the Companys adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.





Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets





In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets to be held and used, to be disposed of other than by sale and to be disposed of by sale. Although the statement retains certain of the requirements of SFAS No. 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, it supersedes SFAS No. 121 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of OperationsReporting the
Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions for the disposal of a segment of a business. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale,
including in continued operations, be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 also broadens the reporting requirements of
discontinued operations to include all components of an entity that have operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity. SFAS No. 144 also amends
Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to eliminate the exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is likely to be temporary. The Company adopted the statement effective August 1, 2002.
The adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.

Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities





In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 addresses significant issues regarding the
recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs that are associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently accounted for under the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 94-3, Liability
Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). The scope of SFAS No. 146 also includes costs related to terminating a contract that is not a
capital lease and termination benefits that employees who are involuntarily terminated receive under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred-compensation contract. SFAS No. 146
will be effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 and early application is encouraged. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 146 during the second quarter of fiscal 2003. The provisions of EITF No. 94-3 shall
continue to apply for an exit activity initiated under an exit plan that meet the criteria of EITF No. 94-3 prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 146. The effect on adoption of SFAS No. 146 will change on a prospective basis the timing of when
restructuring charges are recorded from a commitment date approach to when the liability is incurred. The Company believes that this new standard will not have a material effect on its results of operations or financial condition.





Accounting for Multiple-Element Revenue Arrangements





Currently, EITF is working to reach a final consensus regarding Issue No. 00-21, Accounting for Multiple-Element Revenue Arrangements. Issues being addressed by an EITF working group
include determining when elements of multiple-element arrangements should be evaluated separately and allocating consideration to the individual elements. The Company is closely monitoring the EITFs discussions on this issue. The Company do
not anticipate changes in its historical accounting policies; however, there can be no assurance that final consensuses and guidance ultimately issued by the EITF on this issue will not impact the Company in the future.

Note 4    Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets





In July 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets. SFAS No. 141 provides new guidance on the accounting for a business combination at the date a business combination is completed. Specifically, it requires use of the purchase method of accounting for all business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001, thereby eliminating use of the pooling-of-interests method. SFAS No. 141 did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements but will impact the accounting treatment of future acquisitions.





SFAS No. 142 established new guidance on how to account for goodwill and intangible assets after a business combination is
completed. Among other things, it requires that goodwill and certain other intangible assets no longer be amortized and be tested for impairment at least annually and written down only when impaired. SFAS No. 142 also requires other intangible
assets such as acquired workforce-in-place that do not meet the criteria for recognition apart from goodwill be reclassified. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 effective August 1, 2002. Accordingly, upon its adoption of the new standard, the Company
ceased to amortize its existing goodwill.





The following table provides a summary of the carrying amount of
goodwill and includes amounts originally allocated to acquired workforce-in-place (in thousands):

##### Table of Contents




SFAS No. 142 also requires the Company to perform a transitional assessment of
whether there is an indication that its goodwill is impaired as of the date of adoption. The impairment review involves a two-step process as follows:





Step 1  the Company will compare the fair value of its reporting unit to the carrying value, including goodwill of the unit. If the units carrying value, including goodwill, exceeds its
fair value, the Company will move on to step 2. If the units fair value exceeds the carrying value, no further work is performed and no impairment charge is necessary.





Step 2  the Company will perform an allocation of the fair value of the reporting unit to its identifiable tangible and non-goodwill intangible assets and
liabilities. This will derive an implied fair value for the reporting units goodwill. The Company will then compare the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill with the carrying amount of the reporting units goodwill. If
the carrying amount of the reporting units goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss must be recognized for the excess.





Any impairment loss (measured as of the beginning of fiscal 2003) on the goodwill will be recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle no later
than July 31, 2003, the end of fiscal 2003. The Company will complete the impairment test during the second quarter of fiscal 2003. With the recent high volatility of the Companys stock price and various factors affecting its industry, the
application of the methodology within SFAS No. 142 may result in the write-off of a portion or full amount of the Companys remaining goodwill.





The Company will also continue to amortize its other intangible assets and is required to review such assets for impairment under SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets, reassess their useful lives and make any necessary adjustments.





Other intangible assets
consist of the following (in thousands):

(5,552

The amortization of other intangible assets, excluding that of
acquired workforce-in-place, amounted to $149,000 and $488,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Except for developed and core technology, all other intangible assets were fully amortized as of October 31, 2002.
Amortization of developed and core technology is computed over the period of benefit, generally three years. The Company expects total amortization expense to be $416,000 for the remainder of fiscal 2003, at which time all other intangible assets
will be fully amortized, based on acquisitions completed as of October 31, 2002.





Note 5    Related Party
Transactions





The former chief financial officer of the Company terminated his employment with the Company as
of September 2, 2002. Consequently, in accordance with the officers outstanding loan agreement, his unpaid loan principal of $235,000 and related interest of 6% per annum, became repayable on the 185 th day from his termination date, or on the due date of the loan, whichever is sooner. The repayment of the loan principal and accrued interest will,
therefore, be due on March 6, 2003. The underlying principal amount of the loan is classified as Other Current Assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

##### Table of Contents




In fiscal 2002, the Company recorded accruals of approximately $257,000 related
to separation agreements with its former president and chief executive officer and former executive vice president of sales and business development. In accordance with the agreements, the accrued amounts are being paid over the 6-month period
following the officers termination. Approximately $179,000 was paid in cash during the three-month period ended October 31, 2002. The unpaid balance, classified as Accrued Liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as
of October 31, 2002, was approximately $40,000.





The outstanding promissory notes used by certain former officers
of the Company to purchase shares of Pumatechs common stock as of July 31, 2002, of $315,000 and $15,000, were fully paid off, together with the accrued interest, in August and September 2002, respectively.





Note 6    Restricted Cash and Line of Credit Agreement





The Company has restricted cash held by two financial institutions as collateral on letters of credit in connection with its lease of office spaces. At October 31, 2002,
the restricted cash amounted to $408,000, of which $56,000 is included in Other Current Assets.





The
Company had a loan and security agreement that provided a $10,000,000 revolving credit line. The outstanding balance of $2,000,000 at July 31, 2002 was fully paid on the date of the agreements expiration in September 2002. Currently, the
Company has no plan to renew the line of credit.





Note 7    Restructuring Accrual





During fiscal 2002, 2001 and 1999, the Company implemented a number of cost-reduction plans aimed at reducing costs that were not integral
to the Companys overall strategy and to better align its expense levels with current revenue levels and ensure conservative spending during periods of economic uncertainty. These initiatives included a reduction in workforce and facilities
consolidation.





Of the resulting restructuring charge and subsequent adjustments, if any, totaling $5,338,000,
$1,417,000 and $464,000 in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 1999, respectively, $2,697,000 remained unpaid as of October 31, 2002. This amount related to the net lease expense due to the consolidation of excess facilities will be paid over the respective lease
terms through May 2006 using cash from operations.





The following table sets forth the activity in the
restructuring accrual account for the three months ended October 31, 2002 (in thousands):

The current and the long-term portions of the underlying accrual of
$1,361,000 and $1,336,000 are classified as Accrued Liabilities and Other Liabilities, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2002.





The remaining lease payments on all the excess facilities as of October 31, 2002, was approximately $3,573,000, net of proceeds from outstanding sublease agreements.
The Company further reduced the total costs of excess facilities by the estimated proceeds from assumed future subleases. If the actual results differ from its estimates and assumptions, the Company may be required to adjust its facilities costs
accrual related to expected

losses on subleases, including recording additional losses. Differences, if any, between the estimated amounts accrued and the actual amounts
paid will be reflected in operating expenses in future periods.





Note 8    Commitments and Contingencies





The Company leases its facilities under operating leases that expire at various dates through June 2006. The
leases provide for escalating lease payments.





Future minimum lease payments at October 31, 2002, were as follows

Total rent expense was approximately $193,000 and $507,000 for the

The Company is committed to invest an additional
$1,913,000 in Azure Venture Partners. The total of future actual investments may be less than this amount, depending on future performance of the investee companies. These funds are expected to be paid contractually as requested by the general
partners over a period not to exceed the contract term of eight years. The Company believes that the remainder of the funds will be paid over this fiscal year and the next two.





Litigation





On April 19, 2002, the Company filed a patent
infringement suit against Extended Systems, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The Company alleged that Extended Systems server and desktop products infringe on seven of its
synchronization-related patents. The Company is seeking in the suit an injunction against future sales of Extended Systems infringing server and desktop products, as well as damages for past sales of the infringing products. The Company
further alleged that Extended Systems infringement of the seven synchronization patents was willful and deliberate, entitling the Company to an award of treble damages, costs and reasonable attorneys fees. On May 28, 2002, the Company
filed an amended complaint in the lawsuit, adding claims of trademark infringement, unfair competition and interference with contract, all in connection with Extended Systems use of its Satellite Forms ® trademark. On June 25, 2002, Extended Systems filed a formal response denying the allegations. In its formal answer and counterclaim,
Extended Systems denied the Companys charges, raised a number of affirmative defenses to the Companys claims, and requested a declaration from the Court that the Companys synchronization software patents are invalid and not
infringed. The parties have begun discovery and expect that such discovery will continue for the next six months. The Company believes that its patent claims have merit and intend to vigorously pursue those claims. Further, based on its initial
investigations and the limited discovery done to date, the Company believes that the outcome of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.





The Company is also involved in various litigations and claims arising from the normal course of business. In managements opinion,
these litigations are not expected to materially impact the Companys consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the
period. Diluted weighted average shares reflect the dilutive effect, if any, of potential common shares based on the treasury stock method.





Basic and diluted net loss per common share were calculated as follows (in thousands, except per common share amounts):

All common shares that were held in escrow and that were subject to
repurchase by the Company, totaling approximately 653,000 and 140,000 as of October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, were excluded from basic and diluted net loss per common share calculations.





Potential common shares attributable to stock options, warrants, shares held in escrow and shares subject to repurchase by the Company, of 7,344,331 and 5,817,706 were
outstanding at October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. However, as a result of the net loss incurred by the Company in the three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, none of the shares were included in the weighted average outstanding shares
(using the treasury stock method) used to calculate net loss per common share because the effect would have been antidilutive.

Accumulated other comprehensive income / (loss) on
the condensed consolidated balance sheets consists of net unrealized gains on available for sale investments and foreign currency translation adjustments. Total comprehensive loss for the three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively,
is presented in the following table (in thousands):

Listing Under the Nasdaq National Market





By letter dated September 10, 2002, The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq) notified us that the closing bid price of our common
stock had failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 over the prior 90 consecutive trading days as required for continued listing on the Nasdaq National Market under Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5) and that our common stock is subject to delisting.
On September 12, 2002, we requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Listing Qualification Panel, which stayed the delisting. On October 17, 2002, the hearing was held in which we presented our case for maintaining the listing of our common stock on the
Nasdaq National Market. On November 18, 2002, the Nasdaq notified us that it determined to continue our listing on the Nasdaq National Market, pursuant to the following exception: on or before January 3, 2003, we must evidence a closing bid price of
at least $1.00 per share and, immediately thereafter, a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days and demonstrate compliance with all requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq National Market.





By letter dated December 6, 2002, Nasdaq notified us that, effective with the close of business on December 5,
2002, we demonstrated a closing bid price of $1.05 per share and had maintained a closing price of at least $1.00 per share for 11 consecutive trading days. Accordingly, the Nasdaq Listing Qualification Panel determined to continue the listing of
our securities on the Nasdaq National Market, and the related hearing file has been closed. As a result of Nasdaqs favorable determination regarding our continued listing on the Nasdaq National Market, our Board of Directors does not intend to
implement immediately the one-for-eight reverse stock split, which was approved at our recent Annual Meeting of Stockholders, but will continue to monitor the listing situation and stock price over the next 12 months, as described in our proxy
statement.





Estimates, Assumptions and Critical Accounting Policies





The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto set
forth in Item 1 above, as well as our consolidated financial statements and managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in our Form 10-K. Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions, which we review with our audit committee. We believe that the estimates,
judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon various factors and information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These factors and information may include, but are not
limited to, history and prior experience, experience of other enterprises in the same industry, new related events, current economic conditions and information from third party professionals. The estimates, judgments and assumptions we make can
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. To the extent there are material differences between these
estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual results, our financial statements will be affected.

##### Table of Contents




We use estimates in accounting for, among other things, allowances for
uncollectible receivables, returns, inventory obsolescence, fixed asset obsolescence, recoverability of long-lived assets and investments, depreciation and amortization, taxes, post-contract support, sales incentives, contingencies and various
revenue contracts. The significant accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:





| |  |  | Provision for doubtful accounts
| | - |  | -------------------------------




Our provision for doubtful accounts relates to customer accounts receivable. The provision for doubtful accounts is an estimate prepared by management based on identification of the collectibility of
specific accounts and the overall condition of the receivable portfolios. We specifically analyze customer receivables, as well as analyze the aging of our accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer credits, customer concentrations, the
financial condition of the customers and their credit-worthiness, changes in payment terms, current economic trends, our historical write-off experience and other assumptions, when evaluating the adequacy of the provision for doubtful accounts. 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. Likewise, should we determine that we would be able to realize more of our receivables
in the future than previously estimated, an adjustment to the allowance would increase income in the period such determination was made. The provision for doubtful accounts is reviewed on a quarterly basis and adjustments are recorded as deemed
necessary.





| |  |  | Channel inventory and product returns
| | - |  | -------------------------------------




The primary sales channel into which we sell our products is a network of distributors and value-added resellers in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and Africa. Agreements with our
distributors and resellers contain specific product return privileges for stock rotation and obsolete products that are generally limited to contractual amounts. Reserves for estimated future returns are provided for upon revenue recognition.
Product returns are recorded as a reduction of revenues. Accordingly, we have established a product returns reserve composed of 100% of the value of product inventories held at our distribution partners, as well as an estimated amount for returns
from customers of our distributors and other resellers as a result of stock rotation and obsolete products, among others.





We evaluate our product returns reserve on a quarterly basis. In estimating our product returns reserve, we evaluate the following factors:





| |  |  | historical product returns and inventory levels on a product by product basis;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | current inventory levels and sell through data on a product by product basis as reported to us by our major distributors worldwide on a monthly basis;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | our demand forecast by product in each of our principal geographic markets, which is impacted by our product release schedule, seasonal trends, and analyses
developed by our internal sales and marketing group;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | timing of planned stock rotation; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------




| |  |  | general economic conditions.
| | - |  | ----------------------------




In general, we would expect product returns to increase following the announcement of new or upgraded versions of our products or in anticipation of such product announcements, as our distributors and resellers seek to
reduce their inventory levels of the prior version of a product in advance of receiving the new version. Similarly, we would expect that product inventory held by our distributors and resellers would increase following the successful introduction of
new or upgraded products, as these resellers stock the new version in anticipation of demand. In assessing the appropriateness of product inventory levels held by our resellers and the impact on potential product returns, we may limit sales to our
distributors and resellers in order to maintain inventory levels deemed by management to be appropriate. We generally estimate and provide product returns reserves based on the anticipated level of returns and the criteria noted above. Accordingly,
actual product returns may differ from our estimates and may have a material adverse effect on our revenues and consolidated results of operations




16

##### Table of Contents

in future periods due to factors including, but not limited to, market conditions and product release cycles.





We recently announced the release of the new version of our Intellisync synchronization software. As a result,
our current reserve for product returns reflects an additional return reserve of approximately $580,000 in anticipation of returns of prior versions of the product from various distributors and resellers.





| |  |  | Valuation of intangibles, investments and other long-lived assets.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------




We have accumulated a significant amount of goodwill, other intangible assets, long-term investments and other long-lived assets as a result of our investments and
acquisitions in prior years.





Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the
fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired and, effective August 1, 2002, is tested for impairment at least annually and written down only when impaired. Identifiable intangible assets result from the application of the purchase method of
accounting for our acquisitions. Identifiable intangible assets as of October 31, 2002, were composed of our remaining unamortized developed and core technology. Acquired developed and core technology is amortized over the period of benefit,
generally three years.





The ongoing evaluation for impairment of certain identifiable intangibles, investments and
long-lived assets requires significant management estimation and judgment. We evaluate the carrying value of these assets for impairment, when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the underlying asset may not be recoverable.
In addition, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, requires us to test goodwill annually beginning in fiscal 2003 using a two-step process. The first step is to identify a
potential impairment. The second step measures the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Intangible assets with indefinite lives will be tested for impairment using a one-step process that compares the fair value to the carrying amount of the
asset. Changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets, changes in overall business strategy, negative industry or economic trends, and decline in stock price and market capitalization may trigger an impairment review for certain intangibles.
Poor operating results of underlying investments or adverse changes in market conditions may result in losses or an inability to recover the carrying value of investments. Changes in market value of the assets, physical changes and continuing
operating or cash-flow losses associated with assets used to generate revenue may suggest problems of recoverability for certain long-lived assets. Whenever the evaluation demonstrates that the carrying amount of an intangible, investment or any
other long-lived asset is not recoverable, an impairment charge may be required.





As of October 31, 2002, our
goodwill and other intangibles amounted to $2,731,000 and $416,000, net of accumulated amortization, respectively, and our long-term investments were $2,400,000. We ceased to amortize our existing goodwill upon our adoption of SFAS No. 142 in the
beginning of fiscal 2003. We expect to complete the amortization of other existing intangibles with a total charge of $416,000 for the remainder of fiscal 2003. However, to the extent we do not generate sufficient cash flows to recover the net
amount of any investment in goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets recorded, the investment could be considered impaired and subject to earlier write-off. Also, with the recent high volatility of our stock price and other factors
affecting our industry, the application of the methodology within SFAS No. 142 may result in the write-off of a portion or the full amount of our goodwill.





Also refer to further discussion on our adoption of SFAS No. 142 set forth below under the caption Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.





| |  |  | Restructuring accruals
| | - |  | ----------------------




During fiscal 2002 and 2001, we implemented cost-reduction plans as part of our continued effort to streamline our operations to reduce ongoing operating expenses. These plans resulted in restructuring




17




---

##### Table of Contents




charges related to, among others, the consolidation of excess facilities. These
charges relate to facilities and portions of facilities we no longer utilize and either seek to terminate the related leases early or sublease. Lease termination costs for the abandoned facilities were estimated for the remaining lease obligations
and brokerage fees offset by estimated sublease income. Estimates related to sublease costs and income are based on assumptions regarding the period required to locate and contract with suitable sub-lessees and sublease rates which can be achieved
using market trend information analyses provided by a commercial real estate brokerage retained by us. Each reporting period we review these estimates and to the extent that these assumptions change due to continued negotiations with landlords or
changes in the market, the ultimate restructuring expenses for these abandoned facilities could vary by material amounts.





| |  |  | Loss contingencies
| | - |  | ------------------




We are subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. We consider the likelihood of the incurrence of a liability as well as our ability to reasonably estimate the amount
of loss in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. SFAS No. 5 requires that we record an estimated loss from a loss contingency when
information available prior to the issuance of our financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Accounting for
contingencies such as legal matters requires us to use our judgment. While we believe that our accruals for such matters are adequate, if the actual loss from a loss contingency is significantly different than the estimated loss, our results of
operations may be over or understated. We regularly evaluate current information available to us to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted.





| |  |  | License and service revenue recognition
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------




Revenue from license fees is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, no significant company obligations with regard to implementation or
integration exist, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. Arrangements for which the fees are not deemed probable of collection are recognized upon cash collection. Arrangements for which the fees are not deemed fixed or
determinable are recognized in the period they become due. If we were to assess the collectibility of fees differently, the timing and amount of our revenue recognition might differ substantially from previously estimated or reported.





Services revenue primarily comprises revenue from consulting fees, maintenance contracts and training. Services revenue from
consulting and training is recognized as the service is performed. Maintenance contracts include the right to unspecified upgrades and ongoing support. Maintenance revenue is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis as services revenue over
the life of the related contract. If we were to allocate more or less value to the unspecified upgrades and ongoing support, the timing of our revenue recognition might differ substantially from that previously reported.





For contracts with multiple elements, and for which vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value for the undelivered elements exists,
revenue is recognized for the delivered elements based upon the residual contract value as prescribed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-9, Modification of SOP No. 97-2 with Respect
to Certain Transactions. We have accumulated relevant information from contracts to use in determining the availability of vendor-specific objective evidence and believe that such information complies with the criteria established in SOP No.
97-2, Software Revenue Recognition which provides guidance on generally accepted accounting principles for recognizing revenue on software transactions. If we were to allocate the respective fair values of the aforementioned elements
differently, the timing of our revenue recognition might differ substantially from that previously estimated or reported.




18




---

##### Table of Contents




License and service revenue associated with contracts that involve significant
implementation or customization of services, which are essential to the functionality of the software, is recognized over the period of each engagement primarily using the percentage-of-completion method. Labor hours incurred is generally used as
the measure of progress towards completion as prescribed by SOP No. 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Product-Type Contracts. Revenue for these arrangements is classified as license revenue and service
revenue based upon estimates of fair value of each element, and the revenue is recognized based on the percentage-of-completion ratio for the arrangement. Recognized revenue is subject to revisions as the engagement progresses to completion.
Revisions in estimates or estimated losses on engagements are made in the period in which the loss becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. Considerable judgment, such as the scope of work and reliance on the customer or other vendors to
fulfill some tasks, may be required in determining estimates to complete an engagement. If we were to make different judgments or utilize different estimates of the total amount of work required to complete the engagement, the timing of our revenue
recognition from period to period, as well as the related margins, might differ substantially from that previously estimated or reported. We consider a project completed at the go-live date. When we sell additional licenses, we recognize revenue
after the go-live date if the products or seats have been delivered and no remaining obligations exist.





Currently, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) is working to reach a final consensus regarding Issue No. 00-21, Accounting for Multiple-Element Revenue Arrangements. Issues being addressed by an EITF working group
include determining when elements of multiple-element arrangements should be evaluated separately and allocating consideration to the individual elements. We are closely monitoring the EITFs discussions on this issue. We do not anticipate
changes in our historical accounting policies; however, there can be no assurance that final consensuses and guidance ultimately issued by the EITF on this issue will not impact us in the future.





We also have other key accounting policies which we believe either do not generally require us to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective,
or are less likely to have a material impact on our reported results of operations for a given period.





Also refer
to the discussion in Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Part IV, Item 14, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K under the caption The Company and a Summary of Its Significant Accounting Policies, for more information on
other significant accounting policies.

Revenue.We derive revenue from two primary sources:
software licenses and fees for services. Revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2002 was $5,010,000 compared with $6,651,000 for the corresponding period in fiscal 2002. The 25% decrease in revenue resulted mainly from the continued slowdown
of the economy and its impact on our customers, many of whom continue to experience low levels of IT spending on products, services and technologies such as those we provide. The decline in our revenue year-over-year also resulted from a general
slowdown in sales of Palm OS-based handhelds and other personal digital assistant (PDA) devices. Despite these challenges, the first quarter of fiscal 2003 has been positive for our direct licensing and retail channels as we launched our new
server-based product offerings and upgraded version of Intellisync, which have contributed to the 14% quarter-over-quarter increase in our overall revenue, an increase for the first time in seven quarters. In addition, we expect revenue from our
retail products to further increase commensurate with the holiday season and, as a result, we expect our overall revenue to moderately increase and our sequential revenue growth to continue in the second quarter of fiscal 2003.





| |  |  | License Revenue. License revenue is earned from the sale and use of software products (including our technology licensing components) and royalty
agreements with OEMs. License revenue was $4,063,000 in the three months ended October 31, 2002 as compared with $5,472,000 for the same period in fiscal 2002. The 26% decrease in license revenue reflected a decrease in revenue from Intellisync SDK
products, legacy personal computers (PC) or notebooks business  Intellisync for Notebooks royalty revenue, Enterprise products (which include both personal and server-based Intellisync and Satellite Forms products) and the recently eliminated
online service offerings. However, as mentioned above, sales from our new server-based products and upgraded version of Intellisync have increased license revenue over last quarter by 9%.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Notebook revenue continues to decrease as its revenue stream has matured and as we continue to deemphasize the resources and efforts
associated with this revenue segment. Accordingly, we expect that our legacy notebook business revenue in subsequent quarters will decrease to an insignificant amount.

| |  |  | Service Revenue. Service revenue is derived from fees for services, including time and materials for professional services, amortization of maintenance
contract programs, and, in the prior year, hosting fees. Service revenue in the three months ended October 31, 2002 decreased 20% to $947,000 compared with $1,179,000 for the same period in fiscal 2002. The decrease in service revenue was primarily
due to a decrease in professional service revenue associated with our technology licensing partners, many of whom have been affected by a continued weak IT spending environment. Revenue from hosting fees also decreased due to the elimination of our
online services. The total decrease in revenue, however, was slightly offset by an increase in amortization of our maintenance contract programs.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




OEM revenue of $1,911,000 and $2,677,000 represented 38% and 40% of our revenue, in the three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. OEM revenue decreased
primarily due to a decline in revenue from platform licensing of the Intellisync SDKs and Intellisync for Notebooks royalties. The decrease was slightly offset by an increase in revenue from our server-based products. Although several OEM agreements
contain contractual minimum purchase obligations, there can be no assurance that any particular OEM will satisfy such obligation. In addition, we believe that the percentage of revenue derived from OEMs may fluctuate in future periods since the use
of distribution channels in the United States and internationally for our existing and future products is subject to change, causing our OEM revenue to sometimes be difficult to forecast. Further, we expect the notebook-related OEM portion of this
revenue to continue to decrease to an insignificant amount in absolute terms and as a percentage of our overall revenue in subsequent quarters.





International revenue continues to represent a significant portion of our revenue. International revenue in the three months ended October 31, 2002 was $1,620,000, or 32% of total revenue, compared
with $2,298,000 or 35% of total revenue for the same period in fiscal 2002. The year-over-year decrease in our international revenue continues to reflect the overall global slowdown in technology spending. However, we are beginning to see signs of
improvement in our international operations, as reflected in 18% quarter-over-quarter international revenue growth. International revenue may be subject to certain risks not normally encountered in operations in the United States, including exposure
to tariffs, various trade regulations, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, as well as international software piracy. We believe that continued growth would require further expansion in international markets. We have utilized and may continue to
utilize substantial resources to expand existing and establish additional international operations in the future. Also, refer to other relevant risks and uncertainties associated with international revenue and software piracy set forth below under
the caption Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results.





Products sold through Ingram Micro US,
a distributor, accounted for 12% and 15% of our total revenue in the three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. No other distributors or resellers accounted for more than 10% of total revenue during these periods. In accordance with
our revenue recognition policy, the revenue from our distributors and resellers represents revenue recognized at the time our products were sold to end-user customers. No end-user customers, direct or through distributors and resellers, accounted
for more than 10% of total revenue during the same periods.





Deferred revenue remained relatively flat at
$2,716,000 as of October 31, 2002, compared with $2,678,000 at July 31, 2002. Deferred revenue results from the billing and collection of fees from our customers for the purchase of license agreements and maintenance services for which we have not
yet recognized revenue. We will recognize the respective revenue after meeting the terms and conditions detailed in our revenue recognition policy.





Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue consists of license costs and service costs. License costs comprise product-packaging expenses such as product media and duplication, manuals, packing supplies,
and shipping costs. Service costs comprise personnel-related expenses such as salaries and other related costs associated with work performed under professional service contracts, non-recurring engineering agreements and post-sales customer support
costs. Also included in prior year costs were hosting expenses for online services associated with technology licensing partners and end users, such as those related to bandwidth for hosting, tape backup, security and storage, third-party fees and
internal personnel costs associated with logistics and operational support of the hosting services and depreciation of computer equipment associated with the hosting service. Service costs can be expected to vary significantly from period to period
depending on the mix of services we provide.

In general, license costs represent a far smaller percentage of license revenue
than service costs, which have a much higher cost structure as a percentage of service revenue. Additionally, license costs tend to be variable based on license revenue volumes, whereas service costs tend to be fixed within certain service revenue
volume ranges. We would expect that an increase in service revenue as a percentage of our total revenue would generate lower overall gross margins as a percentage of total revenue. Also, given the high level of fixed costs associated with the
professional services group, our inability to generate revenue sufficient to absorb these fixed costs could lead to negative service gross margins.





Cost of revenue in the three months ended October 31, 2002 was $824,000, or 16% of revenue, compared with $2,250,000, or 34% of revenue, for the same period in fiscal 2002. The decrease in cost of
revenue in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue was partly due to reduced online service costs associated with the online service offerings that were discontinued in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002. Professional services costs also
decreased mainly as a result of workforce reductions we implemented in fiscal 2002. The remaining decrease in cost of revenue resulted from reduced variable packaged product costs associated with reduced license volumes.





We expect our gross profit margin percentage in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 to remain relatively flat or slightly increase compared
with 84% in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, or to considerably increase compared with 67% in the second quarter of fiscal 2002. This is primarily driven by our expectation for different margin characteristics within and between license and service
revenues as well as the expected mix between product and channels. In addition, benefits from our discontinued online service operations and recent restructurings on our fixed cost elements are expected to continue over the next quarter.





Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and other
related costs for research and development personnel, quality assurance personnel, product localization, fees to outside contractors and the cost of facilities and depreciation of capital equipment. We invest in research and development both for new
products and to provide continuing enhancements to existing products. Our research and development efforts are currently focused on extending our core synchronization technology to increase scalability and extensibility, support next generation
wireless technology and device platforms, and create a common technology platform to support our enterprise, licensing and retail product offerings. Research and development expenses decreased by 56% to $1,781,000 in the three months ended October
31, 2002 from $4,075,000 for the same period in fiscal 2002. Research and development represented approximately 35% and 61% of total revenue in the three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in research and development
spending in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue was due to realization of a full quarters benefit from the engineering workforce reduction and consolidation of engineering facilities, as well as elimination of online service
operations, implemented in the last two quarters of fiscal 2002. This benefit in turn resulted in a decrease in personnel-related costs and other costs, offset by contract costs associated with ramping up our international development resources.
Research and development expenses are expected to remain relatively flat for the next few quarters as a result of continued benefit from recent restructuring initiatives.





Sales and Marketing.Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, promotional expenses and other related costs relating to sales and
marketing employees, as well as to technical support personnel associated with pre-sales activities such as building brand awareness, performing product and technical presentations and answering customers product and service inquiries. Sales
and marketing expenses decreased by 43% to $2,634,000 in the three months ended October 31, 2002 from $4,631,000 for the same period in fiscal 2002. Sales and marketing expenses represented approximately 53% and 70% of total revenues in the three
months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Sales and marketing expenses decreased in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue due to a reduction in salaries and other personnel-related costs as a result of headcount reductions
effected by restructuring programs in fiscal 2002, and a reduction in corporate marketing resources, corporate branding initiatives and other related costs as a result of lower planned spending. Sales and marketing expenses over the next few
quarters are expected to slightly increase as we attempt to establish strategic relationships with our existing and prospective enterprise customers, as well as to increase marketing program spending commensurate with the holiday season. The
expected increase also reflects our current plan of strengthening and building our sales and marketing team.





General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other related costs relating to administrative, executive and financial personnel and outside professional fees. General and




22

##### Table of Contents

administrative expenses decreased by 10% to $1,121,000 in the three months ended October 31, 2002 from $1,248,000 for the same period in fiscal
2002. General and administrative expenses represented approximately 22% and 19% of total revenues in the three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in absolute general and administrative spending was due to a reduction
in salaries and other personnel-related costs as a result of headcount reductions effected by restructuring programs in fiscal 2002. This decrease was slightly offset by an increase in other costs mainly associated with our patent infringement
lawsuit. General and administrative expenses, however, increased as a percentage of total revenue due to overall decline in revenue. We expect our general and administrative expenses for the next few quarters to increase due to anticipated legal
costs associated with the patent infringement lawsuit.





Amortization of Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets. SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, established new guidance on how to account for goodwill and other intangible assets. Among other things, it requires that goodwill and certain other intangible assets no
longer be amortized and be tested for impairment at least annually and written down only when impaired. SFAS No. 142 also requires other intangible assets such as acquired workforce-in-place that do not meet the criteria for recognition apart from
goodwill be reclassified to goodwill. We adopted SFAS No. 142 effective August 1, 2002. Accordingly, upon adoption of the new standard, we ceased amortizing our existing goodwill. For the first quarter of prior fiscal year, total amortization of
goodwill and acquired workforce-in-place amounted to $972,000.





The amortization of other intangible assets,
excluding that of acquired workforce-in-place, amounted to $149,000 and $488,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. We expect total amortization expense to be $416,000 for the remainder of fiscal 2003, at which time
all other intangible assets will be fully amortized, based on acquisitions completed as of October 31, 2002.





Refer to further discussion on goodwill and other intangible assets set forth below under the caption Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.





Non-Cash Stock Compensation. Non-cash stock compensation, included in each appropriate operating expense category of our condensed consolidated statements of
operations, relates to stock options that were deemed to have been granted at a price below market value, as well as to certain options that are subject to variable plan accounting. The non-cash stock compensation expense for the three months ended
October 31, 2002 of $62,000 relates to options granted by NetMind Technologies, Inc. (NetMind) prior to our acquisition of NetMind. These charges are amortized over the vesting period of the options through September 2003. The non-cash stock
compensation expense for the three months ended October 31, 2001 of $364,000 relates to NetMind options, as well as to certain stock options accounted for using variable accounting. The amount of stock compensation of $268,000 relating to variable
plan options was later reversed in fiscal 2002 due to a lower closing price of our common stock at July 31, 2002, compared with that at October 31, 2001. Based on the stock price of Pumatechs common stock at October 31, 2002 of $0.33, the
aggregate non-cash stock compensation is expected to be $149,000 for the remainder of fiscal 2003 and $11,000 for fiscal 2004. However, if the stock prices remain above $0.59, the Company will incur additional stock-based compensation expense.





Also refer to the discussion in Note 11 to Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Part IV, Item 14, of
our Annual Report on Form 10-K under the caption Deferred Stock Compensation, for more details on variable plan options and assumptions underlying our forecasts with respect to non-cash stock compensation.





Other Income and Expense, Net. Other income and expense, net, represents interest earned on cash and short-term investments and
realized gains on miscellaneous investments, offset by interest expense on debt and miscellaneous bank fees and charges. Other income, net, was $211,000 and $441,000 in the three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in
other income, net, reflects a decrease in the rate of interest on reduced balances of cash and investments. We expect this trend to continue in the next few quarters as higher-yielding investments mature and proceeds are reinvested in lower-yielding
securities. The expected decrease also reflects further decline in cash balance as a result of ongoing operational requirements.





Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes primarily represents foreign withholding taxes on royalties earned from certain foreign customers and, to a lesser extent, estimated taxes for foreign subsidiaries.
The




23

##### Table of Contents

provision for income taxes was $88,000 and $111,000 in the three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. We expect the provision
for income taxes to moderately increase in the next quarter reflecting an expected slight growth in revenue from Japan and the related foreign tax withholdings.





Restructuring and Other Accruals





Restructuring Accrual.During fiscal 2002, 2001 and 1999, we implemented a number of cost-reduction plans aimed at reducing costs that were not integral to our overall strategy and to better align our expense levels with current revenue levels and ensure conservative
spending during periods of economic uncertainty. These initiatives included a reduction in workforce and facilities consolidation.





Of the resulting restructuring charge and subsequent adjustments, if any, totaling $5,338,000, $1,417,000 and $464,000 in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 1999, respectively, $2,697,000 remained unpaid as of October 31, 2002. This
amount, related to the net lease expense due to the consolidation of excess facilities, will be paid over the respective lease terms through May 2006 using cash from operations.





The following table sets forth the activity in the restructuring accrual account for the three months ended October 31, 2002 (in thousands):

The current and the long-term portions of the underlying accrual of
$1,361,000 and $1,336,000 are classified as Accrued Liabilities and Other Liabilities, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2002.





The remaining lease payments on all the excess facilities as of October 31, 2002, was approximately $3,573,000, net of proceeds from outstanding sublease agreements.
We further reduced the total costs of excess facilities by the estimated proceeds from assumed future subleases. If the actual results differ from our estimates and assumptions, we may be required to adjust the facilities costs accrual related to
expected losses on subleases, including recording additional losses. Differences, if any, between the estimated amounts accrued and the actual amounts paid will be reflected in operating expenses in future periods.





Separation Costs Accrual. In fiscal 2002, we recorded accruals of approximately $257,000 related to separation agreements with our
former president and chief executive officer and former executive vice president of sales and business development. In accordance with the agreements, the accrued amounts are being paid over the 6-month period following the officers
termination. Approximately $179,000 was paid in cash during the three-month period ended October 31, 2002. The unpaid balance, classified as Accrued Liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2002, was
approximately $40,000.





Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements





Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets





In July 2001, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 provides new guidance on the accounting for a business combination
at the date a business combination is completed. Specifically, it requires use of the purchase method of accounting for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001,




24

##### Table of Contents

thereby eliminating use of the pooling-of-interests method. SFAS No. 141 did not have a material effect on our financial statements but will
impact the accounting treatment of future acquisitions.





SFAS No. 142 established new guidance on how to account
for goodwill and intangible assets after a business combination is completed. Among other things, it requires that goodwill and certain other intangible assets no longer be amortized and be tested for impairment at least annually and written down
only when impaired. SFAS No. 142 also requires that other intangible assets such as acquired workforce-in-place that do not meet the criteria for recognition apart from goodwill be reclassified. We adopted SFAS No. 142 effective August 1, 2002.
Accordingly, upon adoption of the new standard, we ceased to amortize our existing goodwill.





The following table
provides a summary of the carrying amount of goodwill and includes amounts originally allocated to acquired workforce-in-place (in thousands):

$
2,731(1)The acquired workforce-in-place total gross amount of $2,212,000 was fully amortized as of July 31, 2002.





SFAS No. 142 also requires that we perform a transitional
assessment of whether there is an indication that our goodwill is impaired as of the date of adoption. The impairment review involves a two-step process as follows:





Step 1  we will compare the fair value of our reporting unit to the carrying value, including goodwill of the unit. If the units carrying value, including
goodwill, exceeds its fair value, we will move on to step 2. If the units fair value exceeds the carrying value, no further work is performed and no impairment charge is necessary.





Step 2  we will perform an allocation of the fair value of the reporting unit to its identifiable tangible and non-goodwill intangible assets and liabilities. This
will derive an implied fair value for the reporting units goodwill. We will then compare the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill with the carrying amount of the reporting units goodwill. If the carrying amount of the
reporting units goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss must be recognized for the excess.





Any impairment loss (measured as of the beginning of fiscal 2003) on the goodwill will be recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle no later than July 31, 2003, the end of
fiscal 2003. We will complete the impairment test during the second quarter of fiscal 2003. With the recent high volatility of our stock price and various factors affecting our industry, the application of the methodology within SFAS No. 142 may
result in the write-off of a portion or full amount of our remaining goodwill.





We will also continue to amortize
our other intangible assets and are required to review such assets for impairment under SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, reassess their useful lives and make any necessary adjustments.

The amortization of other intangible assets, excluding that of acquired
workforce-in-place, amounted to $149,000 and $488,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Except for developed and core technology, all other intangible assets were fully amortized as of October 31, 2002. Amortization
of developed and core technology is computed over the period of benefit, generally three years. We expect total amortization expense to be $565,000 for fiscal 2003, at which time all other intangible assets will be fully amortized, based on
acquisitions completed as of October 31, 2002.





Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets





In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS
No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets to be held and used, to be disposed of other than by sale and to be disposed of by sale. Although the statement retains certain of the
requirements of SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, it supersedes SFAS No. 121 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of
OperationsReporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions for the disposal of a segment of a business. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived
assets to be disposed of by sale, including in continued operations, be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 also broadens the
reporting requirements of discontinued operations to include all components of an entity that have operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity. SFAS No.
144 also amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to eliminate the exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is likely to be temporary. We adopted the statement effective August
1, 2002. The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.





Accounting for Exit or
Disposal Activities





In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Exit or Disposal
Activities. SFAS No. 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs that are associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently accounted for
under the EITF No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). The scope of SFAS No. 146 also includes costs related to
terminating a contract that is not a capital lease and termination benefits that employees who are involuntarily terminated receive under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual
deferred-compensation contract. SFAS No. 146 will be effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 and early application is encouraged. We will adopt SFAS No. 146 during the second quarter of fiscal 2003. The
provisions of EITF No. 94-3 shall continue to apply for an exit activity initiated under an exit plan that met the criteria of EITF No. 94-3 prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 146 or prior to December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 will
change, on a prospective basis, the timing of when restructuring charges are recorded from a commitment date approach to when the liability is incurred. We believe that this new standard will not have a material effect on our results of operations
or financial condition.





Accounting for Multiple-Element Revenue Arrangements





Currently, EITF is working to reach a final consensus regarding Issue No. 00-21, Accounting for Multiple-Element Revenue
Arrangements. Issues being addressed by an EITF working group include determining when elements of multiple-element arrangements should be evaluated separately and allocating consideration to the individual elements. We are closely monitoring
the EITFs discussions on this issue. We do not anticipate changes in our historical accounting policies; however, there can be no assurance that final consensuses and guidance ultimately issued by the EITF on this issue will not impact us in
the future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources





We ended the first quarter of fiscal 2003 with $31,370,000 in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $1,752,000 during
the first quarter of fiscal 2003 to $6,083,000 at October 31, 2002. Short-term investments decreased by $4,813,000 to $25,287,000 during the same period.





Net cash used in operations was $1,426,000 during the three months ended October 31, 2002, compared with $4,434,000 during the same period in fiscal 2002. Operating cash flow in the first quarter of
fiscal 2003 comprised $905,000 of net loss, as adjusted for non-cash items and $521,000 of net change in working capital items, compared with $3,920,000 of net loss, as adjusted for non-cash items and $514,000 of net change in working capital items
in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Our negative operating cash flows primarily reflect our net losses resulting generally from the same factors affecting our revenues and expenses as described above. We made significant changes to our operating
structure, including the consolidation of facilities and the reduction of our workforce, over the last two quarters of fiscal 2002. We believe that these efforts will continue to control spending and maintain our operating expenses at a level that
is in more in line with current revenue levels and align us with our commitment to improve our operating cash flows and overall financial results.





Net cash provided by investing activities of $4,755,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2003, resulted from $4,803,000 of net sales of short-term investments, partially offset by capital
expenditures of $48,000. Net cash used in investing activities of $1,631,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2002 primarily resulted from a $1,396,000 net purchase of short-term investments and $235,000 capital expenditures.





Net cash used in financing activities of $1,577,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2003 resulted from a $2,000,000
repayment on borrowings, partially offset by $330,000 of note repayments from stockholders and $93,000 of proceeds from issuances of common stock. Net cash provided by financing activities of $2,124,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2002
resulted from $2,000,000 drawn from a line of credit and $426,000 of proceeds from issuances of common stock, partially offset by a $302,000 repayment on borrowings.





Related Party Transactions





Our former chief financial
officer terminated his employment with Pumatech as of September 2, 2002. Consequently, in accordance with the officers outstanding loan agreement, his unpaid loan principal of $235,000 and related interest of 6% per annum, became repayable on
the 185 th day from his termination date, or on the due date of the loan, whichever is sooner. The
repayment of the loan principal and accrued interest will, therefore, be due on March 6, 2003. The underlying principal amount of the loan is classified as Other Current Assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.





We have a full-recourse loan outstanding to an officer totaling $309,750, exclusive of accrued interest, as of October 31,
2002. The loan carries an interest rate of 4.75% per annum and is payable on June 14, 2008. The due date may be accelerated due to a number of factors including, failure to make payments due under the note or termination of employment. The note is
secured by shares of the common stock purchased. The underlying principal amount of the loan is classified as Other Assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.





In fiscal 2002, we recorded accruals of approximately $257,000 related to separation agreements with our former president and chief executive officer and former executive
vice president of sales and business development. In accordance with the agreements, the accrued amounts are being paid over the 6-month period following the officers termination. Approximately $179,000 was paid in cash during the first
quarter of fiscal 2003. The unpaid balance, classified as Accrued Liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2002, was approximately $40,000.





The outstanding promissory notes used by certain former officers of Pumatech to purchase shares of our common stock as of July 31, 2002, of $315,000 and $15,000, were fully
paid off, together with the accrued interest, in August and September 2002, respectively.

Restricted Cash and Line of Credit





We have restricted cash held by two financial institutions as collateral on letters of credit in connection with our lease of office spaces. At October 31, 2002, the restricted cash amounted to
$408,000, of which $56,000 is included in Other Current Assets.





We had a loan and security agreement
that provided us a $10,000,000 revolving credit line. The outstanding balance of $2,000,000 at July 31, 2002 was fully paid on the date of the agreements expiration in September 2002. Currently, we have no plan to renew the line of credit.

We are also committed to invest an additional $1,913,000 in Azure
Venture Partners. The total of future actual investments may be less than this amount, depending on future performance of the investee companies. These funds are expected to be paid contractually as requested by the general partners over a period
not to exceed the contract term of eight years. We believe that the remainder of the funds will be paid over this fiscal year and the next two.





We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment balances, including cash generated from operations, if any, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and other cash
requirements for at least the next 12 months. We expect total capital expenditures for the last three quarters of fiscal 2003 to range between $200,000 and $400,000 principally for various systems upgrades.





In the future, we may seek to raise cash through the issuance of debt or equity securities. There can be no assurance that such financing
would be available to us at all, or on terms favorable to us.





Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results





There are many factors that affect our business and the results of our operations, some of which are beyond our control. The
following is a description of some of the important factors that may cause the actual results of our operations in future periods to differ materially from those currently expected or desired.





We are exposed to recent unfavorable economic conditions that have resulted in lower revenue in previous quarters and caused us to take various actions to reduce operating expenses.
Continued or worsened conditions may result in additional actions to reduce operating expenses.





Our
revenue declined sequentially in the six quarters before the first quarter of fiscal 2003, largely as a result of recent unfavorable economic conditions that have caused our customers to delay, decrease or cancel corporate IT spending. We also made
adjustments and incurred charges associated with actions we recently implemented aimed at reducing operating expenses. We expect the current economic conditions to continue well into the remainder of fiscal 2003, and there can be no certainty as to
the severity or duration of the economic slowdown. To date, various

segments of the software industry have experienced significant economic downturns characterized by
decreased product demand, price erosion, work slowdowns and layoffs. Moreover, there is increasing uncertainty in the enterprise software market attributable to many factors, including global economic conditions and strong competitive forces. Our
future revenue and results of operations may continue to experience substantial fluctuations from quarter to quarter as a consequence of these factors, and such conditions and other factors affecting capital spending may continue to affect the
timing of purchase or service orders from our current and potential customers. As a result, continued economic slowdowns in general may require us to take additional cost-reduction measures that could have a material adverse effect on our business,
operating results or financial condition.





Recent threats of terrorism and resulting military and other actions could adversely
affect our business.





Threats of further terrorism since the September 11 terrorist incident in the United
States continue to shake consumer confidence. The United States, consequently, continues to actively use military force to pursue those behind these attacks and implement broader actions against global terrorism. The continued threat of terrorism
throughout the world, the escalation of military action, and heightened security measures in response to such threats may cause further disruption to the global economy, including widespread recession. To the extent that such disruptions result in a
continued general decrease in consumer spending and demand for our products and services, our inability to effectively market our products, or financial or operational difficulties for various vendors on whom we rely for certain integral services
used to support our operations, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. We are unable to predict whether the threat of terrorism or the responses thereto will result in any long-term commercial disruptions
or if such activities or responses will have any long-term material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.





We have experienced losses and may not achieve sustained profitability in the future. And as we implement our plan to reduce operating expenses, we may fail to support our operations, which could reduce demand for our products
and services and materially adversely affect our results of operations.





We have experienced losses of
$1.4 million and $6.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $34.5 million and $41.8 million for fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively. We may not be able to attain or sustain consistent future revenue growth on a
quarterly or annual basis, or achieve and maintain consistent profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. An investor in our common stock should accordingly consider the risks, expenses and difficulties that companies frequently encounter in the
new and rapidly evolving market for wireless and mobile computing products and services. These risks to us include:





| |  |  | our evolving business model;
| | - |  | ----------------------------




| |  |  | our need and ability to manage growth; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------




| |  |  | rapid evolution of technology.
| | - |  | ------------------------------




To address these risks and uncertainties, we must take several steps, including:





| |  |  | creating and maintaining strategic relationships;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | 
| | - |  | 

| |  |  | expanding sales and marketing activities;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------

| |  |  | 
| | - |  | 

| |  |  | integrating existing and acquired technologies;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------

| |  |  | 
| | - |  | 

| |  |  | expanding our customer base and retaining key clients;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | 
| | - |  | 

| |  |  | introducing and expanding new services;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------

| |  |  | 
| | - |  | 

| |  |  | competing in a highly competitive market; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------

| |  |  | 
| | - |  | 

| |  |  | attracting, retaining and motivating key employees.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------

We may not be successful in implementing any of our strategies or in addressing
these risks and uncertainties. Despite cost-reduction measures we implemented in fiscal 2002 and 2001, we expect that we will continue to incur reasonable costs, primarily as a result of (1) our investment in various initiatives to enhance our
existing products, (2) development and introduction of new products and technologies that meet changing customer requirements, and (3) cultivation of relationships with our software development partners. Moreover, even if we accomplish our
objectives, we still may not achieve sustainable profitability in the future.





There can be no assurance that we
will generate sufficient revenue to meet expenses or to operate profitably in the future. Our losses today and the risk of future losses present significant risks to our stockholders. If we cannot achieve profitability or positive cash flows from
operating activities, we may be unable to meet our working capital and other payment obligations, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and the price of our common stock.





Our restructurings could result in customer and employee uncertainty and management distractions.





We have undergone a number of restructurings in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 1999 involving, among other things, a substantial reduction in our
worldwide workforce. These reductions could result in customers or prospective customers deciding to delay or not purchase our products and services due to perceived uncertainty caused by the restructurings. There can be no assurance that we will
not reduce or otherwise adjust our workforce again in the future or that the related transition issues associated with such reductions will not adversely affect our operations or customer perceptions in the future. This uncertainty could result in a
lack of focus and reduced productivity by our remaining employees, including those directly responsible for revenue generation, which in turn may affect our revenue in the future. In addition, employees directly affected by the reductions may seek
future employment with our business partners, customers, or even our competitors. Although all employees are required to sign a confidentiality agreement with us at the time of hire, there can be no assurances that the confidential nature of our
proprietary information will be maintained in the course of such future employment.





The integration of key new employees and
officers into our management team may interfere with our operations.





We recently hired a new chief
executive officer, a new senior vice president of sales and marketing, and a new vice president of product management, and may, in the future, hire a number of key employees to both the executive management team and professional services group,
research and development, administrative and sales and marketing groups. To integrate into our company, new executives and employees must spend a significant amount of time learning our business model and management system, in addition to performing
their regular duties. Accordingly, the integration of new personnel may result in some disruption to our ongoing operations. If we fail to complete this integration in an efficient manner, our business and financial results will suffer.





We depend on strategic relationships and business alliances with our international software development partners.





We recently established a global software development program to assist us in the implementation of
custom software and other technology applications. The program calls for shifting the composition of our engineering team to include several international software development partners, such as Romania-based Softvision, Inc. and others. The success
of our future development efforts will depend on our ability to maintain strategic relationships with these international partners. Our business relationships often consist of cooperative engineering programs, joint business seminars and cooperation
in product development. Many of these relationships may not be contractual and may depend on the continued voluntary cooperation of each party with us. Divergence in strategy or change in focus by any of our partners may interfere with our ability
to develop and support our products, which in turn could harm our business. Further, if our partners enter into strategic alliances with other companies, they could reduce their support of our products. Our existing relationships may be jeopardized
if we enter into alliances with competitors of our strategic partners. One or more of our partners may use the information they gain from their relationship with us to develop competing products. In addition, our operations could be adversely
affected if any of these international partners is affected by volatile economic, political or military conditions in its country or by various restrictions imposed by its country regarding the transfer of technology, the mobile computing industry
and business in general.

W e are exposed to the risk of product returns and rotations from our distributors and value-added resellers, which are estimated and
recorded by us as a reduction in sales.





Although we attempt to monitor and manage the volume of our sales
to distributors and resellers, overstocking by our distributors and resellers or changes in their inventory level policies or practices may require us to accept returns above historical levels. In addition, the risk of product returns may increase
if the demand for new products we introduce is lower than what we anticipate at the time of introduction. Although we believe that we provide an adequate allowance for sales returns, there can be no assurance that actual sales returns will not
exceed our estimated recorded allowance. Any product returns in excess of recorded allowances could result in a material adverse effect on net revenues and operating results. As we introduce more products, timing of sales to end users and returns to
us of unsold products by distributors and resellers become more difficult to predict and could result in material fluctuations in quarterly operating results.





Our failure to adequately protect our proprietary rights may harm our competitive position.





We rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, service mark and trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to establish and protect proprietary rights in our products and services. These measures afford
only limited protection. We currently have 18 issued United States patents and additional 18 patent applications pending in the United States. Effective intellectual property protection may not be available in every country in which we offer our
products and services. Our means of protecting our proprietary rights in the United





States or abroad may not be
adequate, and competitors may independently develop similar technologies. We have also provided our source code under escrow agreements and to foreign connectors, which may increase the likelihood of misappropriation by third parties. Our future
success will depend in part on our ability to protect our proprietary rights. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights and technologies, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use trade secrets
or other information that we regard as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of our products is difficult, and while we are unable to determine the extent to which piracy of our software products exists, software piracy can be expected to be a
persistent problem. Embedded software products, like those we offer, can be especially susceptible to software piracy. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights as fully as do the laws of the United
States.





Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights or to protect our trade secrets
or trademarks. For instance, on April 19, 2002, we filed a patent infringement suit against Extended Systems, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. In that suit, we alleged that Extended Systems
server and desktop products infringe on seven of our synchronization-related patents. We are seeking an injunction against future sales of Extended Systems infringing server and desktop products, as well as damages for past sales of the
infringing products. Legal proceedings to enforce our intellectual property rights could be burdensome and expensive and could involve a high degree of uncertainty. These legal proceedings may also divert managements attention from growing our
business. However, if we do not enforce and protect our intellectual property, our business may suffer substantial harm.





Disputes
that may arise from our inability to satisfy our contractual obligations could adversely affect our operations and financial condition.





Pursuant to the recent termination of our online operations and other cost reduction initiatives, we attempted to negotiate termination of certain preexisting contracts with customers and vendors. We
may not be able to avoid or limit liability for disputes that may arise in our negotiations. If a claim against us for failure to meet contractual commitments were to be successfully pursued, we may be required to incur significant expenses and pay
substantial damages.





Additionally, certain contractual obligations and release of shares of our common stock held
in escrow are already the subjects of preexisting disputes between other companies and us. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in asserting our positions in these disputes. In the event these disputes are not resolved favorably, we
may incur costs and become involved in litigation, if not already involved, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. Such disputes may also result in the decisions of




31




---

##### Table of Contents

our existing and potential customers and vendors not to conduct business with us, which could have further adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.





For instance, Navisite, Inc., a company that formerly provided certain web site hosting and related services to Pumatech alleges that we
improperly terminated an agreement and are thereby indebted to Navisite. We are vigorously contesting the lawsuit, which is currently in discovery. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in asserting our position. Although we
have established a loss contingency reserve we believe to be adequate for this purpose, if disputes regarding reimbursable amounts cannot be resolved favorably, we may incur significant costs, including the payment of the disputed amounts, which
could have adversely have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which the litigation is resolved.





Our common stock will likely be subject to substantial price and volume fluctuations due to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control.





The trading price of our common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, highly volatile. Our stock price is subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety
of factors including:





| |  |  | quarterly variations in operating results;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------




| |  |  | seasonal fluctuations on product sales;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------




| |  |  | announcements of technological innovations;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------




| |  |  | announcements of new software or services by us or our competitors;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | delisting from the Nasdaq National Market; or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------




| |  |  | other events beyond our control, including general market conditions.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------




The stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the trading prices of equity securities of many high technology
companies. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Furthermore, our operating results and prospects from time to time may be below the expectations of public market analysts
and investors. Any negative change in the publics perception of companies in the wireless communications market could depress our stock price regardless of our operating results.





Recently, companies experiencing high volatility or significant drops in their stock prices have faced securities class action lawsuits when the market price of a stock has
been volatile, holders of that stock have often instituted securities class action litigation against the company that issued the stock when such stock declines. If any of our stockholders brought such a lawsuit against us, we could incur
substantial costs defending the lawsuit. The lawsuit could also divert the time and attention of our management. Further, any settlement of such a lawsuit could adversely affect us.





Our investment in goodwill and intangibles resulting from our acquisitions could become impaired.





As of October 31, 2002, our goodwill and other intangibles amounted to $3.1 million, net of accumulated amortization. We ceased to amortize our existing goodwill upon our adoption of SFAS No. 142 in
the beginning of fiscal 2003. We expect to complete the amortization of other existing intangibles with a total charge of approximately $0.4 million for the nine months ending July 31, 2003. However, to the extent we do not generate sufficient cash
flows to recover the net amount of any investment in intangibles recorded, the investment could be considered impaired and subject to earlier write-off. Also, with the recent high volatility of our stock price and other factors affecting our
industry, the application of the methodology within SFAS No. 142 may result in the write-off of




32




---

##### Table of Contents

a portion or full amount of our goodwill. Such impairments of goodwill or other intangible assets could have a negative impact on our results of
operations in any given period.





There are risks associated with our long-term investments that may adversely affect our results of
operations.





Historically, we have made direct and indirect investments in privately held companies.
Currently, we have a commitment with a venture capital firm that invests in companies that we believe have the potential to grow, and we may continue to make strategic investments in the future. There can be no assurance that these investments will
bring us a return on investment. In addition, because the strategic investments tend to be in small, start-up technology companies that are at risk for financial failure especially during an economic slowdown, there is a greater risk that the
investments might be impaired. Any impairment of such investments in the future could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.





Nasdaq could delist Pumatech common stock if we do not maintain compliance with Nasdaqs minimum bid price or continue to comply with financial, corporate governance, and other standards for
continued listing.





Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq National Market. In order to maintain our
listing on the Nasdaq National Market, we must meet minimum financial and other requirements. If our stock price fails to close at $1.00 or higher for 30 consecutive days, Nasdaq may determine that we are not in compliance with its listing
requirements and commence proceedings to have our stock delisted from the National Market. Other reasons for possible delisting include failure to maintain a minimum amount of stockholders equity, and failure to file various reports with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in a timely fashion, as well as other requirements. There are also circumstances where Nasdaq may exercise broad discretionary authority for continued inclusion. If our common stock were delisted from the
Nasdaq National Market for any reason, it could materially reduce the value of our common stock and its liquidity.





The delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq may result in a reduction in some or all of the following, each of which may have a material adverse effect on our investors:





| |  |  | the market price of our common stock;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------




| |  |  | the liquidity of our common stock;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------




| |  |  | the number of institutional investors that will be allowed by their charter to invest or consider investing in our common stock;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | the number of investors in general that will consider investing in our common stock;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | the number of market makers in our common stock;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | the availability of information concerning the trading prices and volume of our common stock;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | the number of broker-dealers willing to execute trades in shares of our common stock; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------




Our stock price could deteriorate and we cannot make any guarantees regarding our stock price, overall market conditions or continued listing on the Nasdaq National Market.
There can be no assurance that an active trading market will be sustained in the future.





We may incur in future periods
significant stock-based compensation charges related to certain stock options.





Based on certain
accounting standards involving stock compensation, we have incurred and will continue to incur variable accounting costs related to stock options, including those associated with our cancellation/regrant programs and certain unvested, restricted
shares exercised with a full recourse note. Those standards require us to




33




---

##### Table of Contents

remeasure compensation cost for such options each reporting period based on changes in the market value of the underlying common stock.
Depending upon movements in the market value of our common stock, the variable accounting treatment of those stock options may result in significant additional non-cash compensation costs in future periods.





The loss of key personnel could harm our business.





The success of our business will continue to depend upon certain key technical and senior management personnel, including our new chief executive officer, Woodson Hobbs, new senior vice president of
sales and marketing, Clyde Foster, new vice president of product management, Pam Deziel, vice president of engineering, John Stossel, and chief accounting officer, J. Keith Kitchen, many of whom would be extremely difficult to replace. Competition
for such personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain our existing key managerial, technical, or sales and marketing personnel. The loss of these officers and other or key employees in the future might adversely
affect our business and impede the achievement of our business objectives.





We believe our ability to achieve
increased revenues and to develop successful new products and product enhancements will depend in part upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled sales and marketing and qualified product development personnel. In addition, competition
for employees in our industry and geographic location could be intense. We may not be able to continue to attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel on acceptable terms. Our ability to hire and retain such personnel will depend upon our
ability to raise capital or achieve increased revenue levels to fund the costs associated with such personnel. Failure to attract and retain key personnel will adversely affect our business.





There are many companies providing competing products and services.





There are few substantial barriers to entry in our markets and we expect that we will face additional competition from existing competitors and new market entrants in the future. We currently face
direct competition with respect to our Intellisync, Enterprise Intellisync and Satellite Forms products. Intellisync retail and enterprise products face competition from AvantGo Inc.s Pylon Conduit, Chapura, Inc.s Pocket Mirror, Extended
Systems, Inc.s XTNDConnectPC, IBM Corporations Lotus Software EasySync Pro, Laplink, Inc.s PDASync, Microsoft, Incs ActiveSync, Palm Desktop from Palm, Inc. and others. Satellite Forms faces competition from Adobe Systems,
Inc., Aligo, Inc., AppForge, Inc., Covigo, Inc., iConverse, Inc., Metrowerks Code Warrior, mPortal, Inc., Pencel Corporation, Pendragon Software Corporation, Penright Corporations MobileBuilder and others. Our server-based softwares
synchronization features face competition from Aether Systems, AvantGo, Extended Systems, FusionOne, Inc., InfoSpace, Inc., Infowave Software, JP Mobile, Inc., Microsoft, Motorola, Inc., Openwave, Inc., Sybase, Inc., Synchrologic, Inc., Wireless
Knowledge, Inc., XcelleNet, Inc. and others. In addition to direct competition noted, we face indirect competition from existing and potential customers that may provide internally developed solutions to each of our technology licensing components.





Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources, larger customer
bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition and more established relationships in the industry than we do. Our larger competitors may be able to provide customers with additional benefits in connection with their Internet systems and
network solutions, including reduced communications costs. As a result, these companies may be able to price their products and services more competitively than we can and respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer
requirements. If we are unable to compete successfully against our current or future competitors, we may lose market share, and our business and prospects would suffer.





Increased competition could result in:





| |  |  | price and revenue reductions, and lower profit margins;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | loss of customers or failure to obtain additional customers; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | loss of market share.
| | - |  | ---------------------



34

##### Table of Contents




Any one of these could materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.





Operating results may fluctuate significantly and may be difficult to predict.





Our operating results have fluctuated in the past and are likely to continue to fluctuate significantly
due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control, including, but not limited to:





| |  |  | the demand for our products and services;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------




| |  |  | our success in developing new products and integrating acquired technologies;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | the timing of new product introductions by us and our competitors;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | market acceptance of our new and enhanced products and services;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | market acceptance of handheld devices generally, and those supported by our products and services;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | the emergence of new industry standards;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------




| |  |  | the timing of customer orders;
| | - |  | ------------------------------




| |  |  | the mix of products and services sold;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------




| |  |  | product life cycles;
| | - |  | --------------------




| |  |  | competition;
| | - |  | ------------




| |  |  | the mix of distribution channels employed;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------




| |  |  | seasonal trends;
| | - |  | ----------------




| |  |  | the timing and magnitude of our capital expenditures;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | the evolving and unpredictable nature of the markets for our products and mobile computing devices generally;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | the growth rate of the markets for personal computers, wireless devices and mobile computing devices in general; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | general economic conditions.
| | - |  | ----------------------------




We derive a portion of our revenue from a number of thinly capitalized and early-stage customers. Volatility in the capital markets and unfavorable economic conditions may severely affect a number of such and other customers,
as well as vendors, which may subsequently harm our business and results of operations.





Historically, we
have derived a portion of our revenues from small and early-stage companies. Recently, due to general economic slowdowns, many of these companies have reduced their IT spending or ceased their investment in products, services and technologies such
as those we provide. Many similarly situated customers and potential customers continue to experience difficulty in their capital-raising activities and may not be able to continue operations. As a result of such failures, any decrease in the demand
for our products and services could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. The composition of our customer base exposes us to additional risks, including longer payment cycles and collection problems. In addition, the
general economic slowdown has affected all of our customers and potential customers. Many companies have delayed IT spending and may continue




35




---

##### Table of Contents




to do so for the foreseeable future. Such continued delays would materially and adversely affect our
business, results of operations and financial condition.





Economic slowdowns may also affect the various vendors
on whom we rely for certain integral services used to support our operations. Our operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected if a vendor were to experience financial or operational difficulties that resulted in a reduction
or interruption in services it provides us.





We have implemented policies and procedures to identify and mitigate
our exposure to the risks mentioned above, but the failure of these thinly capitalized and other companies to be successful in their operations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.





Our business and prospects depend on demand for, and market acceptance of, wireless and other mobile computing devices.





The use of wireless and other mobile computing devices for retrieving, sharing and transferring
information among businesses, consumers, suppliers and partners has begun to develop only in recent years. Our success will depend in large part on continued growth in the use of wireless and other mobile computing devices including PDAs, handheld
computers, smart phones, pagers and other mobile devices. The current global economic slowdown has adversely affected the growth of the market for wireless and other mobile computing devices. In addition, critical issues concerning the commercial
use of wireless and other mobile computing devices, including security, reliability, cost, ease of access and use, quality of service, regulatory initiatives and necessary increases in bandwidth availability, remain unresolved and are likely to
continue to adversely affect the development of the market for our services. The adoption of wireless and other mobile computing devices for information retrieval and exchange, commerce and communications generally will require the acceptance of a
new medium of conducting business and exchanging information. Demand for, and market acceptance of, wireless and other mobile computing devices are subject to a high level of uncertainty and are dependent on a number of factors, including:





| |  |  | the growth in access to, and market acceptance of, new interactive technologies;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | emergence of a viable and sustainable market for wireless and mobile computing services;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | the development of technologies that facilitate interactive communication between organizations; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | increases in bandwidth for data transmission.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------




If the market for wireless and other mobile computing devices as a commercial or business medium does not develop, or develops more slowly than expected, our business, results of operations and
financial condition will be seriously harmed.





Specifically, even if the wireless and mobile computing services
market does develop, products and services that we currently offer or may offer in the future may not achieve widespread market acceptance. Failure of our current and planned products or services to operate as expected could delay or prevent their
adoption. If our target customers do not adopt, purchase and successfully deploy our other current and planned products and services, our revenue will not grow significantly and our business, results of operations and financial condition will be
seriously harmed.





The size of the mobile computing market cannot be accurately predicted, and if our market does not grow as we
expect, our revenue will be below our expectations and our business and financial results will suffer.





We
are focusing on expanding into the mobile computing market, the size of which cannot be accurately estimated, and therefore we are unable to accurately determine the potential demand for our products and services. If our customer base does not
expand or if there is not widespread acceptance of our products and services, our business and prospects will be harmed. We believe that our potential to grow and increase the market acceptance of our products depends principally on the following
factors, some of which are beyond our control:




36

##### Table of Contents




| |  |  | growth in sales of handheld devices supported by our software and growth in wireless network capabilities to match end-user demand and requirements;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | general industry and economic conditions such as slowdowns in the computer or software markets or the economy in general.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Our market changes rapidly due to evolution in technology and industry standards. If we do not adapt to meet the sophisticated needs of our
customers, our business and prospects will suffer.





The market for our services is characterized by
rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and frequent new service introductions. Our future success will depend to a substantial degree on our ability to offer services that incorporate leading technology, address the increasingly
sophisticated and varied needs of our current and prospective customers and respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a timely and cost-effective basis. One should be aware that:





| |  |  | our technology or systems may become obsolete upon the introduction of alternative technologies;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | we may not have sufficient resources to develop or acquire new technologies or to introduce new services capable of competing with future technologies or
service offerings; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | the price of the services we provide is expected to decline as rapidly as the cost of any competitive alternatives.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




We may not be able to respond effectively to the technological requirements of the changing market. To the extent we determine that new
technologies and equipment are required to remain competitive, the development, acquisition and implementation of such technologies and equipment are likely to continue to require significant capital investment by us. Moreover, there can be no
assurances that we can develop, market and deliver new products and technology on a timely basis. Sufficient capital may not be available for this purpose in the future, and even if it is available, investments in new technologies may not result in
commercially viable technological processes and there may not be commercial applications for such technologies. If we do not develop and introduce new products and services and achieve market acceptance in a timely manner, our business and prospects
may suffer.





Increasing government regulation could cause demand for our products and services to grow more slowly or to decline.





We are subject not only to regulations applicable to businesses generally, but also to laws and
regulations directly applicable to wireless and other mobile computing devices. Demand for our products in certain countries, and our ability to meet this demand, is subject to export controls on hardware and on the encryption software incorporated
into our products. In addition, state, federal and foreign governments may adopt laws and regulations governing any of the following issues:





| |  |  | taxation of electronic commerce;
| | - |  | --------------------------------




| |  |  | the wireless distribution of specific material or content; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



37




---

##### Table of Contents




| |  |  | the characteristics and quality of mobile products and services.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------




One or more states or the federal government could enact regulations aimed at companies like us, which provide software that facilitates e-commerce and wireless
communications. The likelihood of the enactment of regulation in these areas will increase as wireless and other mobile devices become more pervasive. Any legislation, regulation or taxation of electronic commerce could dampen the growth of wireless
and other mobile computing devices. If a reduction in growth occurs as a result of these events, demand for our services, technologies and other products could decline significantly.





If we fail to maintain our existing relationships or enter into new relationships with OEMs, business development organizations and sales distribution channels, our brand awareness, the sales of
our products and use of our services would suffer.





The success of our product and service offerings
depends, in large part, on our ability to develop and maintain relationships with OEMs and business development organizations that help distribute our products and promote our services. We depend on these relationships to:





| |  |  | distribute our products to purchasers of mobile devices;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | increase usage of our technology licensing components;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | build brand awareness through product marketing; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | cooperatively market our products and services.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------




If the products that these equipment manufacturers or business development organizations sell, or the operating systems upon which these products are based, were to lose popularity, or if any of these
companies cease to utilize our product and service offerings in significant volumes, our business would suffer.





The relationships we have developed with sales distribution channels and other resellers also allow us to offer our products and services to a much larger customer base than we would otherwise be able to reach through our own direct
sales and marketing efforts. A significant number of our customers purchase our products and services through our resellers, and we anticipate they will continue to do so as we expand our product offerings. In addition, because we sell indirectly
through sales distribution channels and resellers, we cannot control the relationships through which customers purchase our products. We do not control the presentation of our products to these customers as well. Our sales, therefore, could also be
affected by disruptions in the relationships between our resellers and customers. Resellers may also choose not to emphasize our products to their customers. Any of these occurrences could diminish the effectiveness of our distribution channel and
lead to decreased sales.





If we are unable to provide satisfactory and high quality services through our professional services
group, customer satisfaction and demand for our products will suffer.





Many of our customers have been
successful in implementing our various technology initiatives without further provision of technical service. However, we believe that building strong relationships with our customers, as well as future growth in our product sales, depends on our
ability to provide our customers with professional services, including customer support, training, consulting and initial implementation and deployment of our products when necessary. We have developed an in-house professional services group and
utilize a number of international software development partners with a workforce that can perform these tasks and that also educates third-party systems integrators in the use of our products so that they can provide these services to our customers.
If we are unable to develop sufficient relationships with third-party systems integrators and other customers, unable to complete product implementations in a timely manner, and unable to provide customers with satisfactory and quality support,
consulting, maintenance and other services, we could face customer dissatisfaction, damage to our reputation, decreased overall demand for our products and loss of revenue.

We are dependent on our international operations for a significant portion of our revenues.





International revenue, primarily from customers based in Japan and Europe, accounted for 32% and 35% of our revenue in the first quarter
of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively, and 31% and 26% of our revenue in fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively. In the future, we may further expand our international presence. As we continue to expand internationally, we are increasingly subject to
risks of doing business internationally, including:





| |  |  | unexpected changes in regulatory requirements and tariffs;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | export controls relating to encryption technology and other export restrictions;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | political and economic instability;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------




| |  |  | difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | longer payment cycles;
| | - |  | ----------------------




| |  |  | problems in collecting accounts receivable;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------




| |  |  | potentially adverse tax consequences;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------




| |  |  | seasonal reductions in business activity during the summer months in Europe and certain other parts of the world;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | fluctuations in currency exchange rates that may make our products more expensive to international customers;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | gains and losses on the conversion to United States dollars of accounts receivable and accounts payable arising from international operations, due to foreign
currency denominated sales;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | nonrefundable withholding taxes on royalty income from customers in certain countries, such as Japan and Taiwan;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | an adverse effect on our provision for income taxes based on the amount and mix of income from foreign customers; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | exposure to risk of non-payment by customers in foreign countries with highly inflationary economies.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Any of these risks could harm our international operations. For example, some European countries already have laws and regulations related
to content distributed via Internet technologies that are stricter than those currently in force in the United States.





Our international sales growth will be limited if we, in the future, are unable to expand international sales channel management and support, customize products for local markets, and develop relationships with international service
providers, distributors and device manufacturers. Even if we are able to successfully expand international operations, we cannot be certain that we will succeed in maintaining or expanding international market demand for our products.





We may require additional capital, which we may not be able to obtain.





The expansion and development of our business may require additional capital in the future to fund our operating losses, working capital needs and capital expenditures.
Historically we have relied on the capital markets, including private placements, to raise money for our working capital and capital expenditure needs. The capital




39

##### Table of Contents




markets are very volatile and we may not be able to obtain future equity or debt financing in the future
on satisfactory terms or at all. The possible delisting of our shares from the Nasdaq National Market could increase the difficulty we would have in obtaining additional equity or debt financing. Our failure to generate sufficient cash flow from
sales of products and services or to raise sufficient funds may require us to delay or abandon some or all of our development and expansion plans or otherwise forego market opportunities. Our inability to obtain additional capital on satisfactory
terms may delay or prevent the expansion of our business, which could cause our business, operating results and financial condition to suffer.





Our working capital is primarily comprised of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, inventories, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, current
portion of borrowings and deferred revenue. The timing and amount of our future capital requirements may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including our financial performance, and technological and competitive developments in our
industry. These factors may cause our actual revenue and costs to vary from expected amounts, possibly to a material degree, and such variations are likely to affect our future capital requirements.





Foreign exchange fluctuations could decrease our revenues or cause us to lose money, especially since we do not hedge against currency fluctuations.





To date, the majority of our customers have paid for our products and services in United States dollars.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002, and fiscal years 2002 and 2001, costs denominated in foreign currencies were nominal and we had minimal foreign currency losses during those periods. However, we believe that in the future an increasing
portion of our costs will be denominated in foreign currencies as we increase operations in Europe and open offices in other countries. Fluctuations in the value of the Yen, Euro or other foreign currencies may cause our business and prospects to
suffer. We will also be exposed to increased risk of non-payment by our customers in foreign countries, especially those with highly inflationary economies. We currently do not engage in foreign exchange hedging activities and, although we have not
yet experienced any material losses due to foreign currency fluctuation, our international revenues are currently subject to the risks of foreign currency fluctuations, and such risks will increase as our international revenues increase.





We are dependent on non-exclusive licenses for certain technology included in our products. We may be unable to license such
technology or it may be subject to infringement claims by third parties.





We depend on development tools
provided by a limited number of third-party vendors. Together with application developers, we rely primarily upon software development tools provided by companies in the PC and mobile computing device industries. If any of these companies fails to
support or maintain these development tools, we will have to support the tools ourselves or transition to another vendor. Such maintenance or support of the tools or transition could be time-consuming, could delay product release and upgrade
schedule and could delay the development and availability of third-party applications used in our products. Failure to procure the needed software development tools or any delay in availability of third-party applications could negatively impact our
ability, and the ability of third-party application developers, to release and support our products, or they could negatively and materially affect the acceptance of and demand for our products, business and prospects.





Our commercial success will also depend in part on not infringing upon the proprietary rights of others and not breaching technology
licenses that cover technology used in our products. It is uncertain whether any third-party patents will require us to develop alternative technologies or to alter our products or processes, obtain licenses or cease activities that infringe on a
third-partys intellectual property rights. If any such licenses are required, we may not be able to obtain such licenses on commercially favorable terms, if at all. Our failure to obtain a license to any technology that we may require to
commercialize our products and services could cause our business and prospects to suffer. Litigation may also be necessary to enforce any patents issued or licensed to us or to determine the scope and validity of third-party proprietary rights.

Our products may contain product errors that could subject us to product liability claims.





Our products may contain undetected errors or failures when first introduced or as new versions are released, which can result in loss of
or delay in market acceptance and could adversely impact future operating results. We do not currently maintain product liability insurance. Although our license agreements contain provisions limiting our liability in the case of damages resulting
from use of the software, in the event of such damages, we may be found liable, and in such event, such damages could materially affect our business, operating results and financial condition.





We have anti-takeover defenses that could delay or prevent a takeover that stockholders may consider favorable.





Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and provisions of Delaware law could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing an acquisition
of Pumatech. These provisions include a classified board of directors and limitations on actions by our stockholders by written consent. In addition, our board of directors has the right to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of blank check
preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could be used to dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer. The preferred stock we issue could have mandatory redemption features, liquidation preference and other rights that are
senior to the rights of common stockholders. Delaware law also imposes some restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock. Although we believe these provisions
provide for an opportunity to receive a higher bid by requiring potential acquirers to negotiate with our board of directors, these provisions apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders.





In addition, our stockholders may not take actions by written consent and are limited in their ability to make proposals at stockholder
meetings.





System failures or accidental or intentional security breaches could disrupt our operations, cause us to incur
significant expenses, expose us to liability and harm our reputation.





Our operations depend upon our
ability to maintain and protect our computer systems and core business applications, which are located at our offices, as well as hosted by a third-party vendor. Although we are taking various precautions to maintain and protect them, our systems
could still be vulnerable to damage from break-ins, unauthorized access, vandalism, fire, floods, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failures and similar events. We also maintain insurance against break-in, unauthorized access, vandalism,
fires, floods, earthquakes and general business interruptions, the amount of coverage, however, may not be adequate in any particular case, and will not likely compensate us for all the damages caused by these or similar events. In addition, while
we put various security measures in place to detect any unauthorized access to our computers and computer networks, we may be unable to prevent computer programmers or hackers from penetrating our network security or creating viruses to sabotage or
otherwise attack our computer networks from time to time. A breach of our security could seriously damage our reputation, which would harm our business. In addition, because a hacker who penetrates our network security could misappropriate
proprietary information or cause interruptions in our services, we might be required to expend significant resources to protect against, or to alleviate, problems caused by hackers. We might also face liability to persons harmed by misappropriation
of secure information if it is determined that we did not exercise sufficient care to protect our systems.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk





We are exposed to a variety of risks, including changes in interest rates, foreign currency fluctuations and market values of our investments which could impact our results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not
utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge such risks.





Interest Rate Risk





At October 31, 2002, we had an investment portfolio of mostly fixed income securities, including those classified as cash equivalents and
securities available-for-sale, of $30,800,000. These securities, like all fixed income instruments, are subject to interest rate risk and will fall in value if market interest rates increase. If market interest rates were to increase immediately and
uniformly by 10% from levels as of October 31, 2002, the decline of the fair value of the portfolio would be immaterial. Other than certain government securities, a majority of our fixed income investments have maturities of less than one year. We
attempt to mitigate risk by holding our fixed income investments until maturity to avoid recognizing an adverse impact in income or cash flows in the event of an increase in market interest rates, but an increase in our liquidity needs may require
us to sell fixed rate securities prior to maturity.





The table below presents the carrying value, which
approximates fair value, and related weighted average coupon interest rates for our investment portfolio at October 31, 2002 (in thousands, except interest rates).

$
30,800

3.3%





Foreign Currency Risk





To date, the majority of our recognized revenue has been denominated in United States dollars, and our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates has been immaterial. We
expect, however, that more product and service revenue may be derived from international markets and may be denominated in the currency of the applicable market in the future. As a result, our operating results may become subject to significant
fluctuations based upon changes in exchange rates of certain currencies in relation to the United States dollar. We will also be exposed to increased risk of non-payment by our customers in foreign countries, especially those of highly inflationary
economies. Furthermore, to the extent that we engage in international sales denominated in United States dollars, an increase in the value of the United States dollar relative to foreign currencies could make our products and services less
competitive in international markets. Although we will continue to monitor our exposure to currency fluctuations, and, when appropriate, may use financial hedging techniques in the future to minimize the effect of these fluctuations, we cannot be
assured that exchange rate fluctuations will not adversely affect our financial results in the future.





We may
continue to expand internationally in the future and become increasingly subject to other risks of doing business internationally including, but not limited to, differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures,
and other regulations and restrictions. Accordingly, our future results could be materially adversely impacted by changes in these or other factors.





We are also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the financial statements of a foreign subsidiary are translated into United States dollar in consolidation. As exchange rates vary, these
results, when translated, may vary from expectations and adversely impact overall expected profitability. To date, the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our financial statements has been immaterial.

Other Investment Risk





We are a limited partner in a venture capital fund, through which we invest in equity instruments of privately-held companies for business and strategic purposes. Our investment in this venture capital fund is included in
other assets and is accounted for under the cost method as our ownership is less than 3% and we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operations. At October 31, 2002, this investment amounted to $2,422,000. For such
investment, we regularly review the operating performance of the fund in assessing the carrying value. We identify and record an impairment loss when events and circumstances indicate that such asset might be impaired.





We are also committed to invest an additional $1,913,000 in the venture capital fund. The total of future actual investments may be less
than this amount, depending on future performance of the investee companies. These funds are expected to be paid contractually as requested by the general partners over a period not to exceed the contract term of eight years. We believe that the
remainder of the funds will be paid over this fiscal year and the next two.





Although we will continue to assess
the carrying values of our investments, we cannot be assured that a decline in value of our current and future investments will not adversely affect our financial results in the future. Furthermore, given the recent unfavorable economic conditions
and the effect of economic slowdown on the capital markets, we cannot be assured that any other investments we have can be fully recouped, if at all.
