device. Headquartered in Santa Cruz, California, Tarantella operates development centers in the United States, the United Kingdom and India with sales representatives in

the U.S., U.K., Germany, Mexico, Canada, France, Spain and Italy. Tarantella products are sold through an integrated worldwide channel of Tarantella account
executives, distributors, value-added resellers, systems integrators and computer and software manufacturers. Tarantella maintains exclusive distribution relationships in Japan as well as distribution and agent relationships in China, Northern and
Southeast Asia. In total, Tarantella products are available through resellers in more than 30 countries.



The Company was incorporated in 1979 as a California Corporation under the name The Santa Cruz Operation (SCO), Inc. On May 4, 2001, SCO
completed the sale of its Server Software and Professional Services Divisions to Caldera Systems, Inc., retaining the Tarantella Division. A new company, Caldera International, was formed which combined the assets acquired from SCO with the assets
of Caldera Systems. Upon the completion of the sale, SCO changed its corporate name to Tarantella, Inc.



The companys flagship product, Tarantella Enterprise 3, a UNIX/Linux-based application access suite, is installed in corporations and governmental
agencies around the world. Tarantella Enterprise 3 was introduced to the marketplace in 2001. Earlier client integration products, which are part of the Vision2K Suite, were introduced in the late 1990s and are currently still available. In June
2003, Tarantella acquired New Moon Systems Inc, and added New Moon Canaveral iQ from Tarantella®
to its product offering. Canaveral iQ is a Windows-based application access suite, intended for small to mid-sized business customers and departmental deployments with Windows-only infrastructure. In aggregate, Tarantella boasts over 12,000 customer
sites including several of the most respected brands in the Forbes Magazine Global 2000.



Subsequent to the issuance of the Companys consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, the three months ended December 31, 2002 and the three and six months ended March 31,
2003, the Companys management determined that the accounting treatment initially afforded to certain transactions was not correct. As a result, the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002
have been restated.



The effects of the restatement are
presented in note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.



Tarantella Mission and Vision: Managed, Secure, Adaptive Application Access



Tarantellas vision is that application access will play an increasingly prominent role in a ubiquitously wired world. The Company believes server-based application hosting will be the most practical way of
delivering applications to businesses, homes and mobile users regardless of time or location. Tarantellas mission is to become the worlds leading provider of managed, secure and adaptive application access software for Global 2000
companies and government agencies.



Corporate Strategy



Tarantellas strategy is to focus on the application access needs of
Forbes Magazine Global 2000 firms and mobile service providers, and deliver purpose-built, non-invasive, non-disruptive infrastructure software solutions to meet the needs of new classes of users and applications, including new wireless
applications, home information service providers and web services applications. From a sales perspective, Tarantella approaches its target market through its worldwide, integrated sales process, including direct sales, channel partners and strategic
alliances.



Importance of Web-Based Application Access



Organizations today need secure, managed access to business-critical systems
for employees, customers and partners. Mobile and remote worker numbers continue to grow and more companies are consolidating, often requiring diverse computer systems to work together immediately. Workers are dispersed, needing access to data from
remote locations. Home workers and extended day workers require efficient, secure access to corporate data

outside the office. The Internet offers a cost-effective and reliable way for businesses to gain access to their data. This method, however, brings with it
an urgent need for high-level security and manageability.



Data
Center disaster contingency plans must also allow for alternative user access modes when offices are no longer available. Valuable corporate information kept on desktops is at risk and companies need a centralized, managed business approach that is
more cost-effective and secure.



Tarantellas product
offerings address global enterprises needs for remote and mobile access, flexible business continuance plans and provide ways to cut the high costs and risks of managing distributed desktop computers. Tarantellas software suite is a
powerful solution regardless of company size or platform environment.

Target Markets



Tarantella software products provide horizontal network infrastructure solutions, which are used across all types and sizes of companies. However, several
target markets have emerged in which the Tarantella value proposition is particularly compelling, including large financial institutions, government agencies (federal, local, defense departments), utilities and telecommunications.



These enterprises generally employ heterogeneous or mixed information systems
architectures, are often geographically dispersed with remote access requirements and are under operational pressures to reduce costs while optimizing a return on assets. Large companies with diverse application platforms and a widely distributed
user base are an excellent fit for a Tarantella solution. The scalability and flexibility features of Tarantellas software differentiate it from competitors who cannot scale to meet the demanding heterogeneous architectures of the largest
enterprises.



Products Overview



Tarantella offers a comprehensive, server-centric computing product line
serving a broad cross-section of customers. This is accomplished by market bifurcation and by addressing distinct customer segments with purpose-built software solutions: Tarantella Enterprise 3 and Canaveral iQ. As a result, Tarantellas
software solutions deliver the benefits of application access and server-centric computing to organizations with the simplest computing and network environments as well as to those with the largest and most complex.



Product Offerings



Tarantellas product offerings include the flagship Tarantella Enterprise 3 software products, Canaveral iQ from
Tarantella, as well as the established Vision2K Suite, as described below:

Tarantella Enterprise 3



Tarantella Enterprise 3 is focused on organizations with large, heterogeneous and complex IT environments with overriding
requirements for flexibility, scalability and application and data security. Tarantella Enterprise 3 customers generally have well-developed UNIX support infrastructure and capabilities. Tarantellas patented technology was designed for the
Internet and enterprise intranets. Tarantellas Adaptive Internet Protocol (AIP) is designed to optimize the tradeoffs between bandwidth and application performance to give users the best possible experience over any speed connection.



The Tarantella architecture is based on a three-layer
approach, whereby the Tarantella server sits in between the application layer (server) and the client layer (user). The non-intrusive nature of Tarantella Enterprise 3 allows installation in the network infrastructure without impacting existing
applications or clients.



Tarantella Enterprise 3 software
provides universal access to corporate applications, whether modern or legacy, including those that run on Microsoft® Windows®, UNIX®, Linux®, mainframe
or midrange servers. With Tarantella Enterprise 3 software, users access applications remotely from a client device (anything from a thin client to a top-of-the-range PC). Users need only a web browser (such as a current version of Microsoft
Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator), with Java technology enabled. A native client version is also available to operate without a web browser. The centralized management capabilities of Tarantella Enterprise 3 scales to accommodate rapid
corporate change, technological advancement and expanding remote access needs. The product can span global multi-site IT architectures, unifying and simplifying IT complexity and diversity, providing an enhanced level of business continuity via
increased application availability.



Tarantella Enterprise
3s elegant, three-tier drop-in architecture means there is no need to modify clients, networks, applications or the servers on which they run, making the software ideal for heterogeneous platform environments and large-scale
deployment scenarios. Users access all applications through a single, unified and familiar web-based interface. Global resources are opened up without increasing vulnerability, change is managed rapidly and complex IT infrastructures can be
simplified without major disruption, expensive development or costly administration.



Tarantella Enterprise 3 software enables users to access business applications over the network, without jeopardizing corporate security, affecting the end user, disrupting the existing infrastructure or requiring
costly alternatives, such as a VPN. Tarantella Enterprise 3 software offers SSL security, encryption technology and firewall and proxy server traversal.



New Moon Canaveral iQ from Tarantella®



Canaveral iQ provides server-based computing for small to mid-sized companies and departments of larger companies that primarily use Microsoft Windows
operating systems and platforms in their IT infrastructure. Canaveral iQs design focus is on simple installation and deployment, ease of administration and seamless integration with a Microsoft infrastructure. Canaveral iQ is a simple,
intelligent and cost-effective application access solution for Microsoft based IT shops.

Windows desktop environment and provides character-based and GUI access to UNIX applications.

Competition



The Tarantella Enterprise 3 and Canaveral iQ software solutions face strong competition from a range of point products from companies that include Citrix
Systems, Inc., Hummingbird Ltd., and Attachmate Corporation. For example, Citrix is the market leader in providing remote access to Windows applications, while Hummingbird and Attachmate are market leaders for UNIX and mainframes, respectively.



While each of these competitors is formidable in its own
space, Tarantella offers an integrated approach, designed to meet enterprise requirements across the board. Tarantella software solutions address the various needs of specific customer segments, regardless of company size or IT sophistication.
Additionally, Tarantella products often work alongside those of its competition as well.



The scalability and flexibility of the solution in heterogeneous and demanding architectures differentiates Tarantella Enterprise 3 from its competitors. Tarantella Enterprise 3 installs on all major UNIX and Linux
platforms and delivers Windows, UNIX, Linux, Mainframe and web-based applications. Tarantella products can also be used in place of, or to augment, VPN or extranet products.



Canaveral iQ was designed expressly to satisfy the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises and departments of larger
enterprises seeking a simple and cost-effective alternative to such products as Citrixs Metaframe XP. Canaveral iQ seamlessly installs in an organizations existing Microsoft infrastructure to host Windows-based client software on
centralized Microsoft Windows servers.



Strategic Relationships



Strong industry partners augment the Tarantella
enterprise value proposition. Sun Microsystems, Inc. and Microsoft Corporation are two of Tarantellas most valued industry partners.

Item 3.Legal Proceedings



On August 28, 2003, a former Tarantella sales representative, filed an action against Tarantella, Inc. and Tarantella International, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Tarantella, (collectively, Tarantella) in the California Superior Court in Santa Clara County, California. The complaint purports to state claims for breach of contract, negligent and intentional misrepresentation, fraud,
and deceit. The complaint alleges that the plaintiff is owed commissions on certain sales of Tarantella products, and seeks an unspecified amount of damages, correction of the purported contract, prejudgment interest, punitive damages and costs. On
September 25, 2003, Tarantella filed a response denying the claims and asserting affirmative defenses. The case is presently in the discovery stage.



Tarantella believes the allegations contained in the complaint are without merit and intends to defend the action vigorously. Should the plaintiffs
claims succeed, however, Tarantella could be required to pay monetary damages, which could have a material adverse effect on Tarantellas business, financial position and results.

Item 7.Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations



This Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in
conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as the Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations
included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003. In addition to historical information contained herein, this Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks and
uncertainties and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as estimates, projects, anticipates, plans, future, may, will, should,
predicts, potential, continue, expects, intends, believes, and similar expressions. Examples of forward-looking statements include those relating to financial risk management
activities and the adequacy of financial resources for operations. These and other forward-looking statements are only estimates and predictions. While the Company (also referred to as Tarantella) believes that the expectations reflected
in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Companys actual results could differ materially. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect managements expectations only as
of the date hereof.



Overview



Tarantella is a leading provider of Internet infrastructure software that
enables web-based access to enterprise applications.



Tarantella products provide managed and secure web access to enterprise mainframe, Windows, AS/400, Linux, and UNIX applications. It leverages existing IT assets to provide cost savings, improved productivity, and the flexibility to
accommodate the rapid changes in todays organizations.



Restatement



Subsequent to the issuance of the Companys
consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, the three months ended December 31, 2002 and the three and six months ended March 31, 2003, the Companys management determined that the accounting treatment
initially afforded to certain transactions was not correct. As a result, the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2002 have been restated.



The effects of the restatement are presented in note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and have been
reflected in managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.



Critical Accounting Policies



The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts
reported in the Companys consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003 describes the significant accounting policies and methods used
in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the three fiscal years in the period ended September 30, 2003. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported on the balance sheets and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for
each of the fiscal periods are affected by estimates and assumptions which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for revenue, product returns and a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from these
estimates. The following critical accounting policies are significantly affected by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.



Revenue Recognition:    The Companys net revenues are derived from software licenses and
fees for services, which include custom engineering, maintenance, support and training. In accordance with Statement of Position 97-2 Software Revenue Recognition, revenue is recognized when the price is fixed and determinable,

upon persuasive evidence of an arrangement, when fulfillment of the Companys obligations under any such agreement is complete and when there is a
determination that collection is probable. Payment arrangements with customers provide primarily 30-day terms and to a limited extent with certain customers 45, 60 or 90 day terms. In certain transactions, the Company does not have a reliable basis
to estimate returns and allowances for certain customers or is unable to determine that collection of receivables is probable. In such circumstances, the Company defers revenues at the time of sale and recognizes revenues when collection of the
related receivable becomes probable, which is generally upon receipt of cash, and when any potential returns can be reasonably estimated.



For multiple element contracts involving the sale of the Tarantella product the Company uses the residual value method to allocate revenue to each
component. The fair value of services and post contract support is determined based upon separate sales and renewal rates set forth in the contract, respectively.



The Company recognizes revenue from maintenance fees for ongoing customer support and product updates ratably over the
period of the maintenance contract. Payments for maintenance fees are generally made in advance and are non-refundable. For revenue allocated to education and consulting services or derived from the separate sale of such services, the Company
recognizes revenue as the related services are performed.



The
Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers financial condition and does not require collateral. The Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses and such losses have been within managements expectations.



Returns and Reserves:    The
Company records a provision for product returns for related sales in the same period as the related revenues are recorded. These estimates are based on historical sales returns, analysis of credit memo data and other known factors. If the historical
data the Company uses to calculate these estimates does not properly reflect future returns, revenue could be affected.



Allowance for doubtful accounts:    Payments from customers are continuously monitored and allowances are maintained for
doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. When evaluating the adequacy of allowances for doubtful accounts, various factors are taken into account, including accounts receivable
aging, customer credit-worthiness, historical bad debts, and geographic and political risk. If the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be
required. As of September 30, 2003, the Companys net accounts receivable balance was $3.0 million.



Restructuring charges:    Over the last several years the Company has undertaken significant broad restructuring initiatives.
These initiatives have required the recording of estimated provisions for severance and outplacement costs, lease cancellations, long-term asset write downs, and other restructuring costs. Given the significance and the timing of the execution of
such activities, this process is complex and involves periodic reassessments of estimates made at the time the original decisions were made. The accounting for restructuring costs and asset impairments requires the recording of provisions and
charges when actions are taken and/or appropriate approval for taking action is obtained, and when a liability is incurred. Company policies require continual evaluation of the adequacy of the remaining liabilities under restructuring initiatives.
As management continues to evaluate the business, there may be additional charges for new restructuring activities as well as changes in estimates of amounts previously recorded.



Income Taxes:    Tarantella has operations in many countries other than the United States.
Transfer prices for services provided between the United States and these countries has been documented by management based on consultation with appropriate outside service providers as reasonable, however, tax authorities could challenge these
transfer prices and assess additional taxes on prior period transactions. Any such assessment could require the Company to record an additional tax provision in its statement of operations.

Income tax assets and liabilities are determined by taxable jurisdiction. The Company evaluates net
deferred tax assets in each tax jurisdiction by estimating the likelihood of the Company generating future profits to realize these assets. When necessary, a valuation allowance is recorded to reduce tax assets to an amount for which realization is
more likely than not. The provision for income taxes represents taxes payable for the current period, plus the net change in deferred tax amounts.



Goodwill and intangible assets:    The Company reviews the value of long-lived assets, including goodwill, in accordance with
the applicable accounting literature for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate.
As of September 30, 2003, the Company had $1.3 million of net intangible assets and $2.4 million of goodwill remaining on the balance sheet. The Company believes that the net intangible assets will be realizable based on the estimated future cash
flows of the associated products and technology. At September 30, 2003, the Company does not believe that the goodwill is impaired. However, it is possible that the estimates and assumptions used, such as future sales and expense levels, in
assessing the carrying value of these assets may need to be reevaluated in the case of continued market deterioration, which could result in impairment of these assets.



De-Listing Status



On October 20, 2003, the Company announced that it had received notification from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel that the Companys stock
would discontinue trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market effective with the open of business on Tuesday, October 21, 2003.



This action followed Tarantellas appeal to Nasdaq for a listing extension after not meeting the stated time requirements to file SEC Form 10-Q for
the Companys third fiscal quarter. The Nasdaq Panel determination to delist the Companys stock was based on the Companys filing delinquency, public interest concerns, and the nature of the ongoing internal revenue investigation. On
December 8, 2003, the Company filed an appeal to reverse that portion of the Nasdaq Panels decision relating to its public interest concerns. On February 27, 2004, the Nasdaq advised the Company that its appeal had been denied.



Tarantellas common stock is not currently eligible to trade on the OTC
Bulletin Board but is eligible for quotation on the OTC Pink Sheets. The Companys trading symbol has changed to TTLA.PK.



Regaining SEC compliance may allow the Companys shares to be eligible for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. If the Company resumes compliance with
the periodic reporting requirements of the 1934 Exchange Act, it will attempt to meet the listing requirements for the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, however some requirements such as minimum bid price and market capitalization are outside of the
Companys control.



Management Change



On December 11, 2003, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had
appointed Francis E. Wilde as Chief Executive Officer (CEO), President and a Director of the Company. Mr. Wilde succeeds Douglas Michels, who became a strategic advisor to the Company, focusing initially on merger and acquisition opportunities. Mr.
Michels will also continue as a Director of Tarantella.



The
Board has also approved the request by several senior executives including Messrs. Wilde, Michels and Alok Mohan, the Companys Chairman, to receive a substantial portion of their calendar year 2004 compensation in the form of restricted stock
in lieu of cash.



On January 6, 2004, the Company announced the
appointment of John M. Greeley as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), reporting directly to Mr. Wilde. Mr. Greeley assumed the CFO responsibilities from Mr. Mohan, who had been serving as acting CFO since September 8, 2003.

Results of Operations



Net Revenues



The Companys net revenues are derived from software licenses and fees for services, which include engineering services, consulting, custom
engineering, support and training.



Net revenues were $14.0
million in fiscal 2003, a decrease of 2% from $14.2 million in fiscal 2002. In fiscal 2002, net revenues decreased by 79% from $66.7 million in fiscal 2001. Revenue declined slightly in fiscal 2003 due to a decrease in prepaid royalty transactions
to OEMs and ISVs. In fiscal 2002, the Company had $3.2 million in revenue for prepaid royalties. In fiscal 2003, this number decreased to $1.7 million. The decrease of 47% in prepaid royalty transactions in fiscal 2003 was due to
customers still consuming prepaid royalties purchased in fiscal 2002. The decline in revenue performance in fiscal 2002 was worldwide across all geographies and is attributable to the sale of a significant portion of the companys business
during fiscal 2001. The Companys revenues were also impacted by the general reduction in information technology (IT) spending by companies for application server software and service initiatives. For the fiscal year ended September
30, 2003, Northrop Grumman Computing accounted for 13.7% of the Companys net revenues and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, Netilla Networks, Inc. accounted for 10.3% of the Companys net revenues. For the fiscal years ended
September 30, 2001, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Companys net revenues.



International revenues continue to be a significant portion of net revenues, comprising 53% of the revenues for fiscal 2003 and 44% and 52% for 2002 and
2001, respectively.



License
Revenues.    License revenues were $11.0 million in fiscal 2003 as compared to $11.4 million in fiscal 2002 and $55.8 million in fiscal 2001, representing a decrease of 3% in fiscal 2003 over 2002 and a decrease of 80% in
fiscal 2002 over 2001. License revenues were 78% of total net revenues for fiscal 2003 and 80% and 84% of total net revenues for fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decline in license revenues in fiscal 2003 is due to a decrease in prepaid
royalty transactions to OEMs and ISVs. In fiscal 2002, the Company had $3.2 million in revenue for prepaid royalties. In fiscal 2003, this number decreased to $1.7 million. The decrease of 47% in prepaid royalty transactions in fiscal 2003 was due
to the fact that customers were still consuming prepaid royalties purchased in fiscal 2002. The decline in license revenues in fiscal 2002 is attributed to the sale of the server business to Caldera Systems, Inc. (Caldera).



Services Revenues. Services revenues were $3.0 million in fiscal
2003, an increase of 6% over the $2.9 million in fiscal 2002. Services revenues were $2.9 million in fiscal 2002, a decrease of 74% from the $10.8 million in fiscal 2001. Services revenues were 22% of the total revenue for fiscal 2003, compared to
20% in the prior year. The increase in services revenues in fiscal 2003 was primarily due to an increased percentage of customers purchasing service contracts. The decline in services revenues in fiscal 2002 was primarily in the Professional
Services area and is the result of the sale of the Professional Services business to Caldera.



Cost of Revenues



The
Companys overall cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues can be affected by changes in net revenue contribution between product families, geographic regions and channels of distribution, since both price and cost characteristics
associated with these revenue streams can vary greatly. The Company can also experience fluctuations in gross margin as net revenues increase or decrease since certain costs of revenues including technology, services, and distribution act as fixed
costs within certain volume ranges.



Cost of License
Revenues.    Cost of license revenues includes royalties paid to certain software vendors, amortization of acquired technologies, product packaging, documentation and all costs associated with the acquisition of components
and shipping. Cost of license revenues as a percentage of license revenues remained flat with fiscal 2002 at 3%. In fiscal 2001, cost of license revenues as a percentage of license revenues, was 15%.

##### Table of Contents

The 12% decrease from 2001 to 2002 was primarily due to the fact that fiscal 2001 cost of license revenues included server products, which had significantly
higher royalty and technology rates than Tarantella products. The decrease to 3% in fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002 is also due to the fact that technology related to the Companys Vision Family products became fully amortized during fiscal 2001.
Additionally, material costs continue to decline as a result of the increasing number of Internet orders. Also certain fixed costs such as technology and overhead declined.



Cost of Services Revenues.    Cost of services revenues includes documentation, consulting and
personnel related expenses associated with providing such services. Costs of services revenues as a percentage of services revenues decreased to 40% in fiscal 2003 from 41% in fiscal 2002. In fiscal 2001, costs of services revenues as a percentage
of services revenues was 83%. The cost of services improved dramatically in fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002 primarily as a result of the sale of the Professional Services division to Caldera. The Professional Services division that was sold performed
services primarily for server products. Services for server products had negative gross margins, unlike services for Tarantella products (non-server and non-Vision Family), which had positive gross margins. The improvement in cost of services
revenues in fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002 is also a result of reduced staffing levels in the support organization due to realignment of this organization.



Research and Development



The Company invests in research and development both for new products and to provide continuing enhancements to current products. Research and development
expenses decreased 24% to $4.3 million in fiscal 2003 from $5.6 million in fiscal 2002, which was a decrease of 69% from fiscal 2001 spending of $18.4 million. Research and development expenses represented 31% of net revenues for fiscal 2003, 40% of
net revenues for fiscal 2002, and 28% of net revenues for fiscal 2001. The decrease in research and development expenses in fiscal 2003 is due to lower labor costs, which decreased $0.5 million from fiscal 2002 to fiscal 2003. The lower labor costs
were driven by lower headcount, which decreased by 41% as a result of several planned reductions in force. Labor costs were also lower because there was a 15% pay reduction for all employees in research and development. In addition to lower labor
costs, there was a reduction of allocations for facilities and IT costs. Expenses allocated to research and development decreased by $0.6 million in fiscal 2003. The reason for the decrease in allocations is that there was lower headcount in the
allocated departments and there was an elimination of redundant facilities. The decrease in research and development in fiscal 2002 was due to lower labor costs as a result of lower headcount and also the favorable impact of the sale of the Server
Software and Professional Services divisions to Caldera. Research and development expense as a percentage of revenue increased in fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002 over fiscal 2001 because fiscal 2001 costs included research and development for the Server
business which were lower as a percentage of revenue since the products were more mature.



Selling, General and Administrative



Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 22% to $15.2 million in fiscal 2003, compared with $19.6 million in fiscal 2002 and $64.3 million in fiscal 2001. Selling, general and administrative expenses
represented 108% of net revenues in fiscal 2003, 138% in fiscal 2002 and 96% in fiscal 2001. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2003 was mainly due to lower labor costs, which decreased by $2.1 million. The lower
labor costs were driven by lower headcount, which decreased by 39% as a result of several planned reductions in force. Labor costs were also lower because there was a 15% pay reduction for all employees in marketing and general and administrative
and a 7.5% pay reduction for all employees in sales. In addition to lower labor costs, there was a reduction of allocations for facilities and IT costs. Expenses allocated to selling, general and administrative decreased by $0.9 million in fiscal
2003. The reason for the decrease in allocations is that there was lower headcount in the allocated departments and there was an elimination of redundant facilities. The decrease in labor and allocation costs in selling, general and administrative
expenses was partially offset by increased legal and audit fees, which resulted from the restatement audit. The Company incurred expenses of $0.7 million during fiscal 2003 for the internal revenue investigation and the related

##### Table of Contents

restatement audit. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2002 was due to lower labor costs as a result of lower headcount
and also the favorable impact of the sale of the Server Software and Professional Services divisions to Caldera. Selling, general and administrative expenses also decreased in fiscal 2002 because fiscal 2001 included executive retention bonuses of
$2.1 million associated with the sale of a significant division to Caldera. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue increased in fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002 over fiscal 2001 because fiscal 2001 costs included selling,
general and administrative expenses for the Server business, which were lower as a percentage of revenue since the products were more mature. The significant increase in selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue in
fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002 is due to fixed costs spread over much lower revenue.



Allowance for doubtful accounts at the end of September 30, 2003 was $0.5 million, or 15% of gross accounts receivable. At the end of September 30, 2002, allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.3 million, or 11% of
gross accounts receivable. The increase in allowance for doubtful accounts was due to an increase in bad debt reserves of $0.1 million due to reserves acquired from the New Moon acquisition. There was also a $0.1 million increase in reserves for
returns authorized but not yet returned.



Restructuring Charges



Restructuring charges of $2.2 million were incurred in
fiscal year 2003. This included $1.7 million relating to worldwide restructurings undertaken in the first, third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2003 and provision adjustments of $0.5 million made in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. The
restructurings included a reduction in staffing of 62 employees, expenses associated with the closing of several foreign offices and the write-off of fixed assets. As of September 30, 2003, 61 employees had been terminated. These reductions were
made to align spending with lower than expected Company revenues. The Company also made provision adjustments to prior restructurings because it has been unable to sublet space in the Santa Cruz, California office. The Company has now reserved for
this space through the end of fiscal 2004, as it believes it will sublease the space within the next twelve months.



Restructuring charges of $2.3 million were incurred in fiscal year 2002 relating to a worldwide restructuring undertaken in the first quarter of fiscal
2002 and provision adjustments made in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002. The restructuring included a reduction in staffing of 52 employees, a reserve for unused facilities at the Companys corporate headquarters, and costs associated with
closing several foreign offices. As of September 30, 2002, all 52 positions were eliminated, all severance was paid out and all of the foreign office closures included in this reserve were completed. Of the $2.3 million, all but $39,000 related to
cash expenditures. These reductions were made to align spending with lower than expected Company revenues. The Company also made provision adjustments to prior restructurings because it has been unable to sublet space in the Santa Cruz, California
office.



Restructuring charges of $1.0 million were incurred in
fiscal year 2001 that related to worldwide restructurings undertaken in the second and fourth quarters of fiscal 2001. The restructurings included a reduction in personnel of approximately 38 employees and elimination of non-essential facilities. As
of September 30, 2001, all 38 positions were eliminated, and all cash payments had been made. The entire $1.0 million charge related to cash expenditures. These reductions were made to align spending with lower than expected company revenues.



Other Income (Expense)



Other income and expense consists of interest income net of interest
expense, foreign exchange gains and losses, and realized gains and losses on investments, as well as other miscellaneous income and expense items. Net interest income was $46,000 in fiscal 2003 compared to net interest income of $0.5 million in
fiscal 2002 and $1.1 million in fiscal 2001. Net interest income decreased in fiscal 2003 due to the decrease in cash from $7.0 million at the end of fiscal 2002 to $3.2 million at the end of fiscal 2003. In order to keep cash balances

needed for operations, the Company discontinued investing cash in short-term investments. In fiscal 2003 the Company had other expense of $0.2 million
compared to other expense of $1.0 million in fiscal 2002 and other income of $0.3 million in fiscal 2001. The $0.2 million of other expense in fiscal 2003 was for charges related to the impairment of certain investments. The $1.0 million of other
expense in fiscal 2002 was due mainly to the impairment of certain investments of $0.9 million. The other income in fiscal 2001 was due to funds received from a securities class action recovery.



In January 2001, the Company sold 3.2 million shares of its Rainmaker Systems
(RMKR) stock for $1.00 per share, and received cash proceeds of $3.2 million. The cost basis of the sale was $1.1 million, and the Company realized a gain of $2.1 million from this sale.



In fiscal 2002, the Companys other income/(expense) included equity losses of $4.0 million for its share of Caldera
International losses; also a loss of $2.4 million was recorded against the gain on the sale of divisions to Caldera. This loss included expense of $3.0 million for the early redemption of a note receivable for Caldera. In fiscal 2001 there was a
$53.3 million gain included in other income for the sale of the Server and Professional Services divisions to Caldera. This gain was partially offset by losses of $27.1 million for a partial impairment of the Caldera investment and equity losses
from the investment. The charge taken for the impairment of the Caldera investment was $22.5 million. The loss from the equity investment in Caldera was $4.6 million.



Income Taxes



In fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Companys effective income tax rates were (3%), 7%, and 16%. The fiscal 2003 tax of $0.3 million reflects foreign
income taxes of $0.5 million less the resolution of foreign audit issues of $0.2 million. The fiscal 2002 tax benefit of $1.1 million reflects benefits of $0.3 million due to a change in US law and $1.3 million due to the resolution of foreign audit
issues, less foreign income taxes of $0.5 million. The fiscal 2001 tax benefit reflects a benefit of $1.1 million due to the resolution of foreign audit issues and foreign income taxes of $0.5 million.



Net Income (Loss)



The Company reported a net loss of $9.7 million in fiscal 2003 compared to a net loss of $16.2 million in fiscal 2002, and a
net loss of $5.7 million in fiscal 2001. Net losses were lower in fiscal 2003 than in fiscal 2002 because the Company implemented several cost reduction measures to reduce the Companys breakeven point. Although net losses were higher in fiscal
2002 than fiscal 2001, operating losses in fiscal 2002 were lower than in fiscal 2001 because of the cost reduction measures. Net losses were higher in fiscal 2002 because fiscal 2002 included $6.5 million in losses from the sale of divisions to
Caldera and fiscal 2001 included a net $26.2 million gain from the sale of divisions to Caldera.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



The Company has financed its operations through cash flow from operations, private offerings of the Companys common stock and bank borrowings. As of September 30, 2003, the Companys principal source of liquidity included cash
and cash equivalents of $3.2 million, representing 25% of total assets and an available bank line of credit under which the Company had $0.3 million of outstanding borrowings. The credit agreement provides that the Company may borrow up to $1.5
million at 2.5% per month based on 75% of eligible accounts receivable. The line of credit has no financial covenants and is secured by the assets of the Company. See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The decrease in cash and
short-term investments of $3.9 million in 2003 is due to operating losses of $9.3 million, partially offset by $3.3 million of cash received in the acquisition of New Moon Systems and $2.1 million in proceeds from a private placement.

##### Table of Contents

The Companys operating activities used cash of $9.3 million during fiscal 2003, compared to $17.2
million used for operating activities for fiscal 2002. The decrease in the cash used for operating activities is due to a $5.5 million decrease in operating loss from fiscal 2002 to fiscal 2003. The operating loss was $9.3 million in fiscal 2003
compared to a loss of $14.8 million in fiscal 2002. Cash provided by investing activities was $3.0 million in fiscal 2003 compared to cash provided from investing activities of $12.4 million in fiscal 2002. The decrease in cash provided by investing
activities was attributable primarily to the proceeds received from the early redemption of a note receivable related to the sale of divisions to Caldera, which were included in the fiscal 2002 results. Cash provided by financing activities was $2.4
million for fiscal 2003 compared with cash used in financing activities of $0.3 million for fiscal 2002.



The Companys days sales outstanding (DSO) at the end of fiscal 2003 was 87, an increase of 16 days from 71 days at the end of fiscal 2002. DSO is
calculated using revenues for the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, and net accounts receivable at September 30. There was an increase in DSO at the end of fiscal 2003 because there was one transaction totaling $0.6 million, for a large Italian
customer, which was paid late. DSO is impacted about 1.4 days for every $50,000 that is uncollected, so this transaction added 15 days to the Companys DSO.



On September 30, 2003, the Company completed a private placement of common stock and warrants to Special Situations
Technology Funds and Vertical Ventures resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $2,254,200 for which the Company paid fees of $155,345. The Company issued 1,950,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.156 and warrants to
purchase 1,950,000 shares of common stock at $1.395 per share. The warrants have a value of $895,592, based on the relative fair value using a Black-Scholes calculation, using a volatility of 100%, an annual dividend of zero and a discount rate of
2.63%. The Company can require the warrant holders to exercise one-third of the warrants provided the shares issuable thereunder are registered with the SEC and the share price equals or exceeds $1.674 for a period of twenty consecutive trading
days. In addition, the Company can redeem up to two-thirds of the warrants or all of the warrants for $0.01 per share should the closing bid price of the shares reach the target prices of $2.232 and $2.790, respectively. The warrant holders may
exercise the warrants prior to redemption. The warrants expire on September 30, 2008. If the warrants are fully exercised, the Company would receive additional gross proceeds of approximately $2,700,000. The Company also has agreed to register the
shares of common stock issued to the investors as well as the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants for resale once the Company has complied with its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. If the shares
and warrants are not registered in a timely manner, the Company will be obligated to pay damages for the delay, in an amount equal to one-percent per month of the aggregate amount invested, until registered.



On December 26, 2003, the Company completed a private placement of common
stock and warrants to the following investors: Special Situations Technology Funds (who are expanding on their previous investment), Starlight Digital Technologies, LLC, an investment group in which Mr. Wilde acts as Managing Director, and an
additional private investor, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $2,750,000. In connection with the financing, the Company paid placement fees in the amount of $232,303.



On February 23, 2004, the Company announced the completion of a private
placement of common stock and warrants to various investors. In the private placement, the investors purchased 11,678,580 shares of Tarantella common stock at a price of $1.40 per share. The investors also acquired warrants to purchase up to an
additional 2,335,714 shares at an exercise price of $1.70 per share for gross proceeds of $16,350,000. The warrants are exercisable for five years. If the warrants are fully exercised, the Company would receive additional gross proceeds of
approximately $3,970,714. The Company also has agreed to register the shares of common stock issued to the investors as well as the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants for resale once the Company has complied with its reporting obligations
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In connection with the financing, the Company will pay fees in the amount of $1,074,000.



In the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company implemented a restructuring which reduced the existing workforce by two employees. The Company expects to
record a charge of $0.2 million for this restructuring in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. All charges related to this restructuring will be cash charges.

The Company has an
obligation to pay New Moon shareholders a minimum cash earnout of approximately $1.7 million over a period from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2006 based on a royalty of 30% of New Moon product revenues, net of direct costs. After the shareholders
have been paid the minimum earnout, they are entitled to an additional royalty of 15% of New Moon product revenues, net of direct costs, during this period. In the event the minimum earnout is not achieved by the conclusion of the quarter ending
December 31, 2006, Tarantella shall pay along with the final earnout payment an amount equal to the minimum earnout less all aggregate earnouts paid to date, less any off-sets and any escrow claim deficiencies.



The Company has incurred net losses from operations of approximately $9.3
million during fiscal 2003 and $14.8 million during fiscal 2002 and revenues have declined from $14.2 million in fiscal 2002 to $14.0 million in fiscal 2003. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $124.8 million as of September 30, 2003.



The Companys management believes that, based on the
Companys current plans, its existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and funds generated from operations will be sufficient to meet its operating requirements through fiscal 2004. The Companys financial plan assumes
revenue growth and decreased spending. If the Company does not achieve the revenue growth it anticipates or if expenses do not decline as planned, the Company will need additional financing. Management cannot be assured that additional financing
will be available when it is needed.



Factors that may affect future results



Set forth below and elsewhere in this filing and in other
documents the Company files with the SEC are risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements in this filing.



THE COMPANYS OPERATING RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE IN FUTURE PERIODS.



The results of operations for any quarter or fiscal year are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected in future periods. The Companys operating results have in the past been, and will continue to be, subject to quarterly and annual fluctuations as a result of a number of factors, including but not

As a consequence, operating results for a particular future period are
difficult to predict.



THE COMPANY IS EXPOSED TO GENERAL ECONOMIC AND MARKET
CONDITIONS.



Any significant downturn in the
Companys customers markets, or domestic and global conditions, which result in a decline in demand for their software and services could harm the Companys business. The state of the economy has had a negative impact on the software
industry. This could result in customers continuing to delay or cancel orders for software. Any of these occurrences could have a significant impact on the Companys operating results, revenues and costs and may cause the market price of the
Companys common stock to decline or become more volatile.



The Companys future operating results may be affected by various uncertain trends and factors that are beyond the Companys control. These include adverse changes in general economic conditions and rapid or unexpected changes in
the technologies affecting the Companys products. The process of developing new high technology products is complex and uncertain and requires accurate anticipation of customer needs and technological trends.



THE COMPANY DEPENDS ON THE DEVELOPMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF NEW PRODUCTS IN A RAPIDLY
CHANGING MARKET.



The market for the Companys
products is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolution of new industry standards, and frequent introductions of new products and product enhancements. The Companys success will depend upon its continued ability to enhance its
existing products, to introduce new products on a timely and cost-effective basis to meet evolving customer requirements, to achieve market acceptance for new product offerings, and to respond to emerging industry standards and other technological
changes. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in developing new products or enhancing its existing products or that such new or enhanced products will receive market acceptance. The Companys success also depends

upon its ability to license from third parties and to incorporate into its products new technologies that become industry standards. There can be no
assurance that the Company will continue to obtain such licenses on favorable terms or that it will successfully incorporate such third-party technologies into its own products.



The Company anticipates new releases of products in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2004. There can be no assurance
that such new releases will not be affected by technical problems or bugs, as is common in the software industry. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that these or other future product introductions will not be delayed. Delays in the
availability, or a lack of market acceptance, of new or enhanced products could have an adverse effect on the Companys business. There can be no assurance that product introductions in the future will not disrupt product revenues and adversely
affect operating results.



THE COMPANY COMPETES IN THE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE
INTERNET INFRASTRUCTURE MARKET.



The industry has become
increasingly competitive and, accordingly, the Companys results may also be adversely affected by the actions of existing or future competitors, including the development of new technologies, the introduction of new products, and the reduction
of prices by such competitors to gain or retain market share. The Companys results of operations could be adversely affected if it were required to lower its prices significantly.



OPERATING RESULTS FOR A PARTICULAR QUARTER ARE DIFFICULT TO PREDICT.



The Company participates in a highly dynamic industry and future results could be subject to significant volatility,
particularly on a quarterly basis. The Companys revenues and operating results may be unpredictable due to the Companys shipment patterns. The Company operates with little backlog of orders because its products are generally shipped as
orders are received. In general, a substantial portion of the Companys revenues have been booked and shipped in the third month of the quarter, with a concentration of these revenues in the latter half of that third month. In addition, the
timing of closing of large license contracts and the release of new products and product upgrades increase the risk of quarter to quarter fluctuations and the uncertainty of quarterly operating results. The Companys staffing and operating
expense levels are based on an operating plan and are relatively fixed throughout the quarter. As a result, if revenues are not realized in the quarter as expected, the Companys expected operating results and cash balances could be adversely
affected, and such effect could be substantial and could result in an operating loss and depletion of the Companys cash balances.



IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO RAISE NEEDED CAPITAL IN THE FUTURE.



The Company may require substantial additional capital to finance future growth and fund ongoing operations through the remainder of fiscal 2004 and
beyond. Although the Companys current business plan does not foresee the need for further financing activities to fund the Companys operations for the foreseeable future, due to risks and uncertainties in the market place, the Company
may need to raise additional capital. The Company may raise additional funds through public or private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements. The Company cannot be certain that the funding, if needed, will be available on
attractive terms, or at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may be dilutive to shareholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. Strategic arrangements, if necessary to raise additional funds, may
require the Company to relinquish its rights to certain of its technologies or products. If the Company fails to raise capital when needed, the business will be negatively affected, which could cause the stock price to decline.



THE COMPANYS REVENUES MAY BE AFFECTED BY THE SEASONALITY OF REVENUES IN THE EUROPEAN
AND GOVERNMENT MARKETS.



The Company experiences
seasonality of revenues for both the European and the U.S. federal government markets. European revenues during the quarter ending June 30 are historically lower or relatively flat compared to the prior quarter. This reflects a reduction of customer
purchases in anticipation of reduced selling activity



21

##### Table of Contents

during the summer months. Sales to the U.S. federal government generally increase during the quarter ending September 30. This seasonal increase is primarily
attributable to increased purchasing activity by the U.S. federal government prior to the close of its fiscal year. Additionally, net revenues for the first quarter of the fiscal year are typically lower or relatively flat compared to net revenues
of the prior quarter.



COST OF REVENUES MAY BE AFFECTED BY CHANGES IN THE
MIX OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.



The overall
cost of revenues may be affected by changes in the mix of net revenue contribution between licenses and services, geographical regions and channels of distribution, as the costs associated with these revenues may have substantially different
characteristics. The Company may also experience a change in margin as net revenues increase or decrease since technology costs and services costs are fixed within certain volume ranges.



THE COMPANYS OPERATIONAL RESULTS COULD BE AFFECTED BY PRICE VARIATIONS.



The Companys results of operations could be adversely affected if it
were to lower its prices significantly. In the event the Company reduced its prices, the Companys standard terms for selected distributors would be to provide credit for inventory ordered in the previous 180 days, such credits to be applied
against future purchases. The Company, as a matter of policy, does not allow product returns for a refund. Product returns are generally allowances for stock balancing and are accompanied by compensating and offsetting orders. Revenues are net of a
provision for estimated future stock balancing and excess quantities above levels the Company believes are appropriate in its distribution channels. The Company monitors the quantity and mix of its product sales.



THE COMPANY IS DEPENDENT UPON INFORMATION RECEIVED FROM THIRD PARTIES IN ORDER TO
DETERMINE RESERVES FOR PRODUCT RETURNS.



The Company
depends on information received from external sources in evaluating the inventory levels at distribution partners in the determination of reserves for the return of materials not sold, stock rotation and price protection. Significant effort has gone
into developing systems and procedures for determining the appropriate reserve level. In the event information is not received timely or accurately, the Companys ability to monitor the inventory levels will be affected and may negatively
impact the Companys business.



THE COMPANYS BUSINESS DEPENDS
UPON ITS PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND THERE IS A RISK THAT SUCH RIGHTS WILL BE INFRINGED.



The Company attempts to protect its software with a combination of patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws, employee and third party nondisclosure agreements, license agreements, and other methods of
protection. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy certain portions of the Companys products or reverse engineer or obtain and use information the Company regards as proprietary. While the
Companys competitive position may be affected by its ability to protect its intellectual property rights, the Company believes that trademark and copyright protections are less significant to the Companys success than other factors, such
as the knowledge, ability, and experience of the Companys personnel, name recognition, and ongoing product development and support. Further, certain provisions of the Companys licenses, including provisions protecting against
unauthorized use, copying, transfer, and disclosure of the licensed product, may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect the Companys intellectual property rights
to the same extent as do the laws of the U.S.



RISKS OF CLAIMS FROM THIRD
PARTIES FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE BUSINESS.



As the number of software products in the industry increases and the functionality of these products further overlaps, the Company believes that software
products will increasingly become subject to infringement claims. There can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against the Company and/or



22



---

##### Table of Contents

against the Companys suppliers of technology. In general, the Companys suppliers have agreed to indemnify the Company in the event any such claim
involves supplier-provided software or technology, but any such claim, whether or not involving a supplier, could require the Company to enter into royalty arrangements or result in costly litigation.



THE COMPANYS BUSINESS MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY EVENTS OUTSIDE THE COMPANYS
CONTROL.



While the Company has not been the target of
software viruses specifically designed to impede the performance of the Companys products, such viruses could be created and deployed against the Companys products in the future. Similarly, experienced computer programmers or hackers
could attempt to penetrate the Companys network security or the security of the Companys web sites. A hacker who penetrates the Companys network or web sites could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions of
services. The Company might be required to expend significant capital and resources to protect against, or to alleviate, problems caused by virus creators and/or hackers. In addition, war, power shortage, natural disasters, acts of terror, and
regional and global health risks could impact the Companys ability to conduct business in certain regions. Any of these events could have an adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, and financial condition.



THE COMPANYS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS MAY BE AFFECTED BY FLUCTUATIONS IN
FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES.



Although the
Companys revenues are predominantly in U.S. dollars, substantial portions of the Companys revenues are derived from sales to customers outside the United States. Trade sales to international customers represented 53%, 44% and 52% of
total revenues for fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001 respectively. The Companys revenues can be affected by general economic conditions in the United States, Europe and other international markets. Also, portions of the Companys operating
expenses are transacted in foreign currencies. The Companys operating strategy and pricing take into account changes in exchange rates over time. However, the Companys results of operations may be significantly affected in the short term
by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.



THE COMPANYS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS MAY BE AFFECTED BY THE ASSESSMENT OF ADDITIONAL TAXES.



Tarantella has operations in many countries other than the United States. Transfer prices for services provided between the United States and these countries have been documented as reasonable, however, tax
authorities could challenge these transfer prices and assess additional taxes on prior period transactions. Any such assessment could require the Company to record an additional tax provision in its statement of operations.



THE COMPANYS SUCCESS LARGELY DEPENDS UPON ITS ABILITY TO RETAIN AND RECRUIT KEY
PERSONNEL.



The Companys continued success depends
to a significant extent on senior management and other key employees. None of these individuals is subject to a long-term employment contract or a non-competition agreement. The loss of one or more key employees or the Companys inability to
attract and retain other key employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company.



THE COMPANY MAY NEVER ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY IN THE FUTURE.



Following the Companys divestiture of its server software and professional services divisions in May 2001, the Company has not achieved
profitability, and may never generate sufficient revenues to achieve profitability.

THE OUTCOME OF SEC INQUIRY IS UNCERTAIN.



The Company is in contact with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with an informal inquiry related to the
events leading up to the Companys restatement. The Company cannot predict the outcome of this inquiry.



IF THE COMPANY IS UNABLE TO EFFECTIVELY INTEGRATE AND DEVELOP THE OPERATIONS OF NEW MOON SYSTEMS, INC. (NEW MOON), THE BUSINESS MAY SUFFER.



The Company acquired New Moon in June 2003. The Company intends to integrate
the operations, certain employees, products and technology of New Moon into its own, and faces various risks as a result of this acquisition including, but not limited to:



| |  |  | The ability to retain and motivate certain of New Moons employees;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The ability to retain and develop New Moons customers;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The failure to integrate the technology, operations and certain members of the workforce of New Moon with the Tarantella business;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The failure to realize the potential financial or strategic benefits of the acquisition;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The incurrence of substantial unanticipated integration costs;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The diversion of significant management attention and financial resources in assimilating New Moons business;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The disruption of the Companys ongoing business.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



If the Company is not able to successfully integrate and develop New Moons business, the Companys business may be negatively affected in
future periods, which may cause the stock price to decline. In addition, if the value of intangible assets and goodwill acquired becomes impaired, the Company will be required to write down the value of the assets, which would negatively affect
financial results. The Company may incur liabilities from New Moon including liabilities for IP infringement or indemnification of New Moons customers for similar claims, which could materially and adversely affect the business.



THE COMPANY MAY MAKE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS THAT MAY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL RISKS.



The Company may continue to make investments in
complementary companies, products or technologies. If the Company buys a company or a division of a company, they may experience difficulty integrating that company or divisions personnel and operations, which could negatively affect operating
results. In addition:



| |  |  | Key personnel of the acquired company may decide not to accept employment with the Company;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The ongoing business may be disrupted or receive insufficient management attention;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Company may not be able to recognize the anticipated cost savings or other financial benefits;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



In connection with future acquisitions, the Company may be required to assume the liabilities of the acquired companies. By
assuming the liabilities, the Company may incur liabilities, including liabilities for IP infringement or indemnification of customers of acquired businesses for similar claims, which could materially and adversely affect the business. The Company
may have to incur debt or issue equity securities to pay for any future acquisition, the issuance of which may involve restrictive covenants or be dilutive to existing shareholders.

THE COMPANYS STOCK IS SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL PRICE AND VOLUME FLUCTUATIONS DUE TO A NUMBER OF FACTORS, MANY OF
WHICH ARE BEYOND ITS CONTROL, AND THOSE FLUCTUATIONS MAY PREVENT SHAREHOLDERS FROM RESELLING THEIR COMMON STOCK AT A PROFIT.



The stock market in general, and the market for shares of technology companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which
have often been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies. Strategic factors such as new product introductions, acquisitions or restructurings by the Company or its competitors may have a significant impact on the market price
of the Companys common stock. Furthermore, quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in operating results may have a significant impact on the market price of the stock. These conditions, as well as factors that generally affect the market for stocks of
high technology companies, could cause the price of the Companys stock to fluctuate substantially over short periods.



THE COMPANYS COMMON STOCK MAY BE DIFFICULT TO TRADE.



The Companys stock was de-listed by the Nasdaq on October 21, 2003, and is now quoted on the Over-the-Counter (OTC) Pink Sheets. Trading
the Companys stock may be more difficult due to the limited trading activity on the OTC market. This could cause a further decline in the Companys stock price. Declines in the market price of the Companys stock could greatly impair
the Companys ability to raise capital through equity or debt financing.



FORMER NEW MOON SHAREHOLDERS WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO SELL A LARGE NUMBER OF SHARES OF TARANTELLA COMMON STOCK, WHICH MAY CAUSE THE TRADING PRICE OF THE COMPANYS COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.



In connection with the acquisition of New Moon, the Company issued
approximately 1,592,000 shares (calculated after the 1-for-5 reverse stock split which was implemented on June 6, 2003) of the Companys common stock to former New Moon shareholders. During the one year period following the closing of the
acquisition, the aggregate number of shares of common stock sold in any calendar quarter by each of the former New Moon shareholders shall not exceed 25% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued to such former New Moon shareholders
pursuant to the acquisition; provided, however, that the percentage tradable in any calendar quarter shall be increased by an amount proportionate to the amount by which the trading volume of common stock exceeds 15,000,000 shares in the prior
quarter. Furthermore, if the Company grants registration rights or issues shares of capital stock as part of a subsequent acquisition of the stock or assets of another company, and the sale of such stock is not subject to volume restrictions, then
the 25% limitation described in the previous sentence will no longer be in effect. With the exception of the limitations set forth in this paragraph, the Company does not have any control over the timing of any sales by the former New Moon
shareholders. As a result, the market price of the Companys common stock may fall if a large portion of those shares is sold in the public market.



Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 146,
Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring) (EITF 94-3). SFAS 146 requires that
a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF 94-3, a liability for an exit cost, as defined in EITF 94-3, was recognized at the date of an entitys commitment to an
exit plan. SFAS 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 146 for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption
of SFAS 146 may affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as well as the amounts recognized.

In November 2002, FASB issued FASB Interpretation 45 (FIN 45), Guarantors
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. The Interpretation elaborates on the existing disclosure requirements for most guarantees, including loan guarantees such as
standby letters of credit. It also clarifies that at the time a company issues a guarantee, the company must recognize an initial liability for the fair value, or market value, of the obligations it assumes under the guarantee and must disclose that
information in its interim and annual financial statements. The provisions related to recognizing a liability at inception of the guarantee for the fair value of the guarantors obligations do not apply to product warranties or to guarantees
accounted for as derivatives. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions apply on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the
Companys financial position or results of operations. The Company provides disclosures required by FIN 45 in Note 17.



In May 2003, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. This Issue addresses
certain aspects of the accounting by a vendor for arrangements under which it will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. This Issue addresses when and how an arrangement involving multiple deliverables should be divided into separate units
of accounting. The guidance in this Issue is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of these provisions did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position or
results of operations.



In January 2003 the FASB issued FIN No.
46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities and a revised interpretation of FIN No. 46 (FIN No. 46-R) in December 2003. FIN No. 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the
entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from
other parties. Should the Company form a variable interest entity, FIN No. 46-R will be effective at that time, but not later than the quarter ending March 31, 2004.



In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both
Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered
into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise became effective for the Company July 1, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.



Item 7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk



Market-Rate Sensitive Instruments and Risk Management



The Company is exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and equity security prices. It does not use
derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.



Interest-Rate Risk



As of September 30, 2003
the Company had cash of $3.2 million, consisting of cash and highly liquid money market instruments with maturities of less than 90 days. Because of the short maturities of these instruments, a sudden change in market interest rates would not have a
material impact on the fair value of the portfolio. The Company would not expect operating results or cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by the effect of a sudden change in market interest on its portfolio.

Foreign Exchange Risks



Currently, the Company denominates sales to some European customers in Euro dollars and also incurs expenses related to its European operations in UK
pounds and Euro dollars. Through May 2001, the Company used forward foreign exchange contracts to manage foreign exchange exposures associated with underlying assets, liabilities and anticipated transactions. Since the completion of the transaction
in which the Company sold the Server Software and Professional Services divisions to Caldera International, the Company does not believe the foreign exchange risk is great enough to warrant the purchase of forward foreign exchange contracts.



Equity Security Price Risk



As of September 30, 2003 the Company has investments in Rainmaker Systems
(Nasdaq: RMKR) and Netilla Networks (a privately-held company). The Company also has investments in other privately held companies, the carrying value of which is now zero. The Rainmaker investment is accounted for pursuant to FAS 115 in which
equity gains and losses are recorded to a separate section of shareholders equity. The investment in Netilla has been impaired several times to the per share price of subsequent offerings. The Company does not hedge its investments in equity
securities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Note 1The Company



Tarantella, Inc. is a leading provider of Internet infrastructure software that enables web-based access to enterprise applications. The Tarantella
Enterprise 3 solution instantly provides managed and secure web access to enterprise mainframe, Windows, AS/400, Linux, and UNIX applications. It leverages existing IT assets to provide cost savings, improved productivity, and the flexibility to
accommodate the rapid changes in todays organizations.



The Company was incorporated as The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. (SCO) in California in 1979. On May 4, 2001, SCO completed the sale of its Server Software and Professional Services Divisions to Caldera Systems, Inc., retaining the Tarantella
Division. A new company, Caldera International, was formed which combined the assets acquired from SCO with the assets of Caldera Systems. Upon the completion of the sale, SCO changed its corporate name to Tarantella, Inc.



Note 2Restatement



Subsequent to the issuance of the Companys consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30,
2002, the three months ended December 31, 2002 and the three and six months ended March 31, 2003, the Companys management determined that the accounting treatment initially afforded to certain transactions was not correct. As a result, the
accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2002 have been restated as described below.



During the third quarter of fiscal 2003 the Company announced that it had become aware of business practices in the Companys Northern European
territory that required immediate changes in sales personnel within the region and certain internal controls. After conducting an internal review of certain transactions in the Northern European territory as well as other domestic and international
transactions, the Company determined that it was necessary to restate revenues recorded in previous interim periods of fiscal 2003 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002. There were seven revenue transactions in Europe that did not sell out of the
Companys distributor, as the Company had believed. There were three revenue transactions totaling $0.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, two transactions totaling $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, and two
transactions totaling $0.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2003. Since sales to distributors are recognized upon sell out by the distributor to resellers or end users, revenue for these transactions was reversed. Two of these transactions
sold out of inventory in subsequent quarters and revenue was recognized and the products for five of these transactions have been returned to the Company.



There were also two additional transactions in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 in the United States totaling $0.2 million where the terms of the original
transaction were amended. The amendment requires that the Company recognize such revenue no earlier than receipt of payment, which occurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 for both transactions.



In addition, as part of the internal revenue investigation, the Company
determined that there was one revenue transaction in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 totaling $0.3 million, and two revenue transactions, one in the first quarter and one in the second quarter of fiscal 2003, totaling $0.2 million, for one
customer, that should have been recorded when cash was received, as the customers ability to pay was not certain. One transaction was later paid through a barter transaction, however revenue was not recognized as the barter arrangement was
determined to be a reciprocal arrangement. Two of these transactions remain unpaid and revenue will be recognized upon receipt of cash.



As a result of the reversal of these revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the first quarter of fiscal 2003 and the second quarter of fiscal
2003, there was also a reversal of the cost of goods sold, commission expense and cooperative (COOP) advertising expense associated with these revenues.

Finally, the Company also determined that in the fourth quarter of 2002, it (i) had over accrued for
commission and bonus expenses, (ii) it had underaccrued for miscellaneous expenses, and (iii) it had incorrectly recorded accelerated depreciation for an asset acquired. The depreciation error also impacted all of the quarters in fiscal 2003.



In addition, the Company has made certain reclassifications to
the prior year financial statements. These reclassifications relate to the classification of customer credits issued and long-term deposits.



The balance sheet as of September 30, 2002, and the statements of operations and cash flows for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, and the
quarterly reporting for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2003 have been restated in this Form 10-K.



The Company is in contact with the Securities & Exchange Commission in connection with an informal inquiry related to the events leading up to the
Companys restatement.



See note 21Quarterly
Reporting for further details of the effect of the re-statements on the quarterly results of operations.



A summary of the significant effects of the restatements on previously reported consolidated financial statements is as follows:

Note 3Summary of Significant Accounting Policies



Principles of Consolidation.    The
consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.



Use of Estimates.    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (generally accepted accounting principles) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include the allowances for bad debt, product returns and certain accrued expenses and
liabilities, and a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



Reclassifications.     Certain prior year reclassifications have been made for consistent presentation.



Cash Equivalents and Short-term
Investments.    The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of 90 days or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Short-term investments include instruments with lives ranging from
91 days to three years.



Investments.    The Company classifies its investments in certain equity securities in publicly traded companies as available-for-sale. Such investments are recorded at fair market value based on quoted
market prices, and unrealized gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains on such investments were $409,000 as of September 30, 2003, and $121,000 as of September 30, 2002. As of September 30, 2001, unrealized
losses were $5.7 million. The Company has investments in privately held companies that are classified as other assets. Realized gains and losses, which are calculated based on the specific identification method, are recorded in operations as
incurred. Investments in privately held companies with less than 20% ownership are carried at the lower of cost or realizable value.



Credit Risk.    Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist
primarily of cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments consist primarily of cash accounts held at various banks, money market funds held at several financial institutions and
a certificate of deposit. The Company sells its products to various organizations in different industries and geographies, and does not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. Credit risk is mitigated by the
Companys credit evaluation process and limited payment terms. In addition, the Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses.



Property and Equipment.    Property and equipment are stated at cost and, except for assets recorded
under capital lease and leasehold improvements, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements and assets recorded under capitalized leases are
amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the remaining term of the lease or the estimated life of the asset, ranging from one to ten years.



Purchased Software and Technology Licenses.    Purchased software consists of core intellectual property rights owned
by the Company. Technology licenses represent payments for the rights to use and integrate third party technology into the Companys product offerings. Amounts capitalized are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated product life,
ranging from three to ten years, or on the ratio of current revenues to total projected product revenues, whichever results in greater amortization.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



Accounting for Long-Lived Assets.    The Company reviews property,
equipment, purchased software and technology licenses for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to
estimated future net cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the projected discounted
future operating cash flows.



Goodwill and Intangible
Assets.    As part of the New Moon Systems, Inc. (New Moon ) acquisition in the third quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company allocated the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values (see Note 15). A third-party appraisal firm assisted management in determining the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Such valuations required management to make
estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Estimates associated with the accounting for the acquisition may change as additional acquisition cost information becomes available.



Critical estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not
limited to: future expected cash flows from customer contracts, acquired developed technologies and patents; expected costs to develop the in-process research and development into commercially viable products and estimating cash flows from the
projects when completed; and the trade name and the market position of the acquired products and assumptions about the period of time the trade name will continue to be used in the New Moon product portfolio. Managements estimates of fair
value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable.



In
June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS
No. 141 requires that all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for under the purchase method and addresses the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business
combination. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 also require an annual goodwill impairment test. Management will perform the annual goodwill impairment test as of July 1, 2004 to determine if there is any goodwill impairment. Under SFAS 142,
goodwill and intangible assets of a reporting unit shall be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.
The Company believes that there has been no event as of September 30, 2003, that reduced the fair value of our reporting unit below the goodwill and intangible assets carrying amounts.



Software Development Costs.    SFAS No. 86 provides for the capitalization of certain
software development costs once technological feasibility is established. Capitalized costs are then amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated product life, or on the ratio of current revenues to total projected product revenues,
whichever is greater. Through September 30, 2003, the Company believes its process for developing software was essentially completed concurrent with the establishment of technological feasibility, and accordingly, no software development costs have
been capitalized to date.



At each balance sheet date the
Company compares the unamortized balance of purchased software and technology with its net realizable value. Any amount by which the unamortized balance exceeds the net realizable value is written off. The net realizable value is calculated as the
estimated future gross revenues from the product reduced by the estimated future costs of completing and disposing of that product, including the costs of performing the maintenance and customer support required to satisfy the Companys
responsibility set forth at the time of the sale.



Revenue Recognition.    The Companys revenue is derived primarily from two sources, across many industries: (i) products license revenue, derived primarily from product sales to resellers and end
users, including



36

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



large scale enterprises and royalty revenue, derived primarily from initial license fees and ongoing royalties from product sales by source code OEMs; and
(ii) services and support revenue, derived primarily from providing software updates, support, education and consulting services to end users.



The Company accounts for revenue under the provisions of AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as
amended. Product revenue is recognized upon shipment if evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed and determinable and collection of resulting receivables is probable. Sales to distributors are recognized upon sale by the distributor to
resellers or end users. In certain instances when distributors waive their right to return product, revenue is recognized upon shipment if evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed and determinable and collection of resulting receivables
is probable. Estimated product returns are recorded upon recognition of revenue from customers having rights of return, including exchange rights for unsold products and product upgrades.



Until May 2001, the Company sold two types of software products, UNIX-based operating system software, which was sold under
the UnixWare and OpenServer names, and application broker software sold under the Tarantella name. In May 2001, the Company sold the UNIX-based business to Caldera Systems, Inc.



The Company sold UnixWare and OpenServer products separately and as a result, for contracts involving the sale of UnixWare
and OpenServer that contained multiple obligations (e.g. delivered and undelivered products, maintenance and other services), the Company allocated revenue to each component of the contract based on objective evidence of its fair value, which is
specific to the Company. The fair value of each element is based on the price as sold separately. The Company recognized revenue allocated to undelivered products when the criteria for product revenue set forth above was met.



For multiple element contracts involving the sale of the Tarantella product
the Company uses the residual value method to allocate revenue to each component. The fair value of services and post contract support is determined based upon separate sales and renewal rates set forth in the contract, respectively.



The Company recognizes revenue from maintenance fees for ongoing customer
support and product updates ratably over the period of the maintenance contract. Payments for maintenance fees are generally made in advance and are non-refundable. For revenue allocated to education and consulting services or derived from the
separate sale of such services, the Company recognizes revenue as the related services are performed.



The Company recognizes product revenue from royalty payments upon receipt of quarterly royalty reports from OEMs (original equipment manufacturers)
related to their product sales.



The Company performs ongoing
credit evaluations of its customers financial condition and does not require collateral. The Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses and such losses have been within managements expectations.



Advertising.    The Company expenses
advertising costs as incurred. The majority of advertising expense relates to the Company reimbursing certain qualified customers for a portion of the advertising costs related to their promotion of the Companys products. The Companys
maximum liability for reimbursement is accrued at the time revenue is recognized as a percentage of the qualified customers net revenue derived from the Companys products. For 2003, 2002 and 2001, advertising expense totaled
approximately $0.4 million, $0.2 million, and $2.1 million, respectively.



Income Taxes.    The Company records income taxes using an asset and liability approach that results in the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future
tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Companys consolidated financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events other than enactment of changes in tax laws are
considered. When

necessary, a valuation allowance is recorded to reduce tax assets to an amount for which realization is more likely than not. The provision for income taxes
represents taxes payable for the current period, plus the net change in deferred tax amounts.



Stock Based Compensation.    The Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees for its fixed stock option plan and employee stock purchase plan and accordingly, has not recognized compensation cost in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for options issued
at fair value. SFAS 123 permits the use of either a fair value based method or the intrinsic value method to measure the expense associated with stock-based compensation arrangements. For options granted below fair value, the Company recorded a
stock compensation charge of $0.6 million. None of these charges were recorded in cost of goods sold.



In accordance with the disclosure provisions of SFAS 148, the pro forma effect on the Companys net loss had compensation expense been recorded for
the fiscal years ended September 30, 2003, September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001, respectively, as determined under the fair value method, is shown below (in thousands, except per share amounts):

The fair value of the
options granted under the Option Plan and the Director Plan were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 2003, 2002, and 2001: risk-free interest rate of 2.64% for
fiscal 2003, 3.73% for 2002 and 4.91% for 2001; dividend yield of 0%; volatility factor of the expected market price of the Companys common stock of 100% for 2003, 94% for 2002 and 87.5% for 2001; an average turnover rate of 15% and 0% and a
four year and five year expected life for options granted to employees and executives, respectively.



The fair value for the Employee Stock Purchase Plan rights were also estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following assumptions for 2003, 2002 and 2001: risk-free interest rates of 1.42%, 2.09% and 4.74%, respectively; dividend yield of 0%; volatility factor of 107% for 2003, 94% for 2002 and 87.5% for 2001; and six month expected life. The weighted
average fair value of the ESPP rights granted in 2003, 2002, and 2001 was $0.37, $0.27 and $1.02 per share, respectively.



Computation of Earnings (Loss) Per Share.    Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income available to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. For the
Company, dilutive potential common shares consist of the

incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants for all periods. All potentially dilutive securities have been excluded
from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their affect is anti-dilutive on the loss from operations for all periods presented. The potentially dilutive securities are as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146), which
addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and
Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring) (EITF 94-3). SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is
incurred. Under EITF 94-3, a liability for an exit cost, as defined in EITF 94-3, was recognized at the date of an entitys commitment to an exit plan. SFAS 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured and recorded
at fair value. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 146 for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 146 may affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as well as the
amounts recognized.



In November 2002, FASB issued FASB
Interpretation 45 (FIN 45), Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. The Interpretation elaborates on the existing disclosure
requirements for most guarantees, including loan guarantees such as standby letters of credit. It also clarifies that at the time a company issues a guarantee, the company must recognize an initial liability for the fair value, or market value, of
the obligations it assumes under the guarantee and must disclose that information in its interim and annual financial statements. The provisions related to recognizing a liability at inception of the guarantee for the fair value of the
guarantors obligations do not apply to product warranties or to guarantees accounted for as derivatives. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions apply on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December
31, 2002. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations. The Company provides disclosures required by FIN 45 in Note 17.



In May 2003, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 00-21,
Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. This Issue addresses certain aspects of the accounting by a vendor for arrangements under which it will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. This Issue addresses when and how an
arrangement involving multiple deliverables should be divided into separate units of accounting. The guidance in



39

this Issue is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of these provisions did not have
a material effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.



In January 2003 the FASB issued FIN No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities and a revised interpretation of FIN No. 46 (FIN No. 46-R) in December 2003. FIN No. 46 requires certain
variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity
to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Should the Company form a variable interest entity, FIN No. 46-R will be effective at that time, but not later than the quarter ending March 31, 2004.



In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting
for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and
equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise became effective for the Company July 1, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material effect on the Companys
financial position or results of operations.



Foreign
Currency Translation.    The functional currency of the Companys foreign subsidiaries is the local foreign currency. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at
the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date. Revenues, costs and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments resulting from translation of the subsidiaries accounts are
accumulated as a separate component of shareholders equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations and have not been significant.



Fair Value of Financial
Instruments.    Carrying amounts of certain of the Companys financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued payroll and other accrued liabilities, approximate fair
value because of their short maturities. The fair values of investments are determined using quoted market prices for those securities or similar financial instruments. The fair value of other long-term liabilities approximates the carrying value
due to the market interest rates that these obligations bear.

In November 1996, the Company purchased $2.0 million of convertible debentures from a domestic
distribution channel partner. In February 1999, the Company elected to convert, in its entirety, the debenture into shares of preferred stock. In January 2000 the Company redeemed 68,805 shares at their cost of $2.181 per share. After the redemption
the Company had 848,259 shares of preferred stock at a cost of $1.85 million. On January 4, 2001 the channel distribution partner was purchased by Ebiz Enterprises, Inc., and the Company received 2,367,999 shares of Ebiz common stock.



In March 2000, the Company purchased $2.0 million of preferred stock in a
private Linux distribution company. On October 5, 2000 this company was purchased by Ebiz Enterprises, Inc. The Company received 2,208,749 shares of Ebiz common stock and 787,878 warrants to purchase shares.



During the quarter ended June 30, 2001, the Company determined the decline in
the fair value of its investment in Ebiz was other than temporary and thus required a permanent write-down of the investment by $1.5 million.



At September 30, 2002, the Company had written off all receivables related to Ebiz since they were no longer in business. At September 30, 2001, the
Company had gross accounts receivable with Ebiz of $1.1 million. This amount was fully reserved as Ebiz declared bankruptcy on September 7, 2001, and did not have the ability to pay. There were no sales to this related party in fiscal 2003. Sales to
this related party were $25,398 for fiscal 2002 and $2.0 million for fiscal 2001. Sales in fiscal 2001 included product and services sold to the Companys channel distribution partner prior to its acquisition by Ebiz.



In January 1995, the Company purchased 10% of the preferred stock of
Rainmaker Systems, Inc. (Rainmaker), another of the Companys domestic distribution partners, in exchange for cash, product and equipment valued at $1.0 million. In addition, the Company loaned $1.0 million to Rainmaker in exchange
for convertible debentures. In February 1999, the Company exchanged the preferred stock and debentures for shares of Series D Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (the Series D Preferred). During fiscal year 1999, the Company sold
approximately 1,704,011 shares of Series D with a cost basis of $0.6 million, and received cash proceeds of $3.8 million. The Companys interest of ownership of Rainmaker before and after the sale was 15.3% and 10.3% respectively. On November
17, 1999, Rainmaker completed an initial public offering of its common stock, at which time, the shares of Series D Preferred held by the Company automatically converted into shares of Rainmakers common stock on a one-for-one basis. At
September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, the Company held 505,767 shares of Rainmakers common stock. The Company accounts for these shares as available-for-sale securities and records them at fair market value, based on quoted market prices
with any unrealized gains or losses included as part of accumulated other comprehensive income. During fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002, the Company did not sell any shares of Rainmaker stock. During fiscal 2001, the Company sold 3,200,000 shares of
Rainmaker stock with a cost basis of $1.1 million, and received cash proceeds of $3.2 million.



The fair value of the Companys investment in Rainmaker at September 30, 2003 was $632,000 and cost was $171,000 for an unrealized gain of $461,000. Rainmakers common stock is traded on the Nasdaq under the
symbol RMKR. The Company no longer has the right to appoint a member to the Board of Directors.



At September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, the Company did not have any accounts receivable from Rainmaker. There were no sales to Rainmaker in fiscal
2003 and fiscal 2002. Sales to Rainmaker were $3.7 million for fiscal 2001.

There are three partners in Encinal Partnership No. 1 (EP1), the J3D Family Limited Partnership, the Lawrence Michels Family Limited
Partnership and Wave Crest Development, Inc. EP1 leases certain office premises located in Santa Cruz, California to the Company. Doug Michels, who has been a director of the Company since 1979, and also served as the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company from April 1998 to December 2003, is the general partner of both the J3D Family Limited Partnership and the Lawrence Michels Family Limited Partnership. From time to time, Mr. Michels also engages in real estate transactions with Wave Crest
and its president. The current lease commenced on January 1, 1989 and had a ten-year term, with two options for the Company to renew for five-year periods. The lease has been renewed through June 30, 2005. The lease covers approximately 50,830
square feet of building space at a current cost of approximately $95,155 per month, subject to an annual adjustment upward based on the Consumer Price Index. Rents paid to these related parties were $1.0 million, $1.1 million and $1.4 million for
the fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.



The
Company believes that the transactions described above were on terms no less favorable to the Company than could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties. All future transactions between the Company and any director or executive officer
are subject to approval by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors.

Common Stock
Repurchases.    The Company repurchases its common stock on the open market, both systematically and non-systematically. Under the systematic stock repurchase plan, shares of common stock are repurchased to help negate
the dilutive effects of the Incentive Stock Option Plan and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Under the non-systematic repurchase plan, the Company may repurchase up to 1,200,000 shares of its common stock. During the fiscal years ended
September 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Company did not repurchase any shares under either plan.



Shareholder Rights.    In September 1997, the Company adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan which provides existing
shareholders with the right to purchase a partial share of preferred stock for each share of common stock

owned by the shareholder in the event of certain changes in the Companys ownership. These rights may serve as a deterrent to certain takeover attempts
not approved by the Companys Board of Directors. The rights expire in September 2007.



Warrants.    During fiscal 2001, in connection with a line of credit, the Company issued warrants to purchase 1,440,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.5625 per
share. The warrants expired on January 8, 2003. The Company recorded a liability of $969,000 for this warrant, and amortized the related expense over one year, the vesting period of the warrant.



During fiscal 2002, in connection with financial consulting and investment
banking advice, the Company issued warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.44 per share. The warrants expire on April 22, 2006. The Company recorded a one-time charge of $138,000 in fiscal 2002 for this
warrant.



Private Placement
Financing.    On September 30, 2003, the Company completed a private placement of common stock and warrants to Special Situations Technology Funds and Vertical Ventures resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of
approximately $2,254,200 for which the Company paid fees of $155,345. The Company issued 1,950,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.156 and warrants to purchase 1,950,000 shares of common stock at $1.395 per share. The warrants have a value
of $895,592, based on the relative fair value using a Black-Scholes calculation, using a volatility of 100%, an annual dividend of zero and a discount rate of 2.63%. The Company can require the warrant holders to exercise one-third of the warrants
provided the shares issuable thereunder are registered with the SEC and the share price equals or exceeds $1.674 for a period of twenty consecutive trading days. In addition, the Company can redeem up to two-thirds of the warrants or all of the
warrants for $0.01 per share should the closing bid price of the shares reach the target prices of $2.232 and $2.790, respectively. The warrant holders may exercise the warrants prior to redemption. The warrants expire on September 30, 2008. If the
warrants are fully exercised, the Company would receive additional gross proceeds of approximately $2,700,000. The Company also has agreed to register the shares of common stock issued to the investors as well as the shares issuable upon exercise of
the warrants for resale once the Company has complied with its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. If the shares and warrants are not registered in a timely manner, the Company will be obligated to pay
damages for the delay, in an amount equal to one-percent per month of the aggregate amount invested, until registered. See Note 23 for details on private placements completed after September 30, 2003.

The net change in the
total valuation allowance for fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001 was an increase of approximately $2.1 million, $5.0 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Subsequently recognized tax benefits relating to the valuation allowance for deferred tax
assets at September 30, 2003 will be allocated to income tax benefit and additional paid in capital in the amounts of $83.4 million and $1.6 million respectively.



The Companys management believes the uncertainty regarding the timing of the realization of net deferred tax assets
requires a full valuation allowance.



At September 30, 2003,
the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $125 million which expire in fiscal years 2012 through 2023, and research credit carry forwards of approximately $7.5 million, which primarily expire in fiscal years 2004 through
2020. Additionally, the Company has other tax credits of approximately $0.4 million that have no expiration date., The extent to which the loss and credit carry forwards can be used to reduce future income taxes may be limited or eliminated,
depending on the extent of ownership changes within any three-year period.

Note
13Transactions with Caldera



On May 4, 2001, the
Company consummated the sale of its Server Software and Professional Services divisions to Caldera Systems, Inc. Under the terms of the transaction, Caldera Systems, Inc. acquired the assets of the Server and Professional Services groups. A new
company, Caldera International, Inc. (Caldera International), was formed which combined the assets acquired from the Company with the assets of Caldera Systems, Inc. Upon the completion of the sale, the Company continued to operate its
Tarantella business, and accordingly, changed its corporate name to Tarantella, Inc. and its trading symbol to TTLA to reflect the new corporate name. Since the Company has subsequently been de-listed from Nasdaq (see Note 23), the trading symbol
has changed to TTLA.PK.



As consideration for the transaction,
the Company received 16 million common stock shares of Caldera International (representing approximately 28.2% of Caldera International), $23 million in cash (of which $7 million was received on January 26, 2001) and a non-interest bearing
promissory note in the amount of $8 million that was originally to be received in quarterly installments of $2 million beginning in August 2002.



As part of the original transaction, if the OpenServer line of business of the Server and Professional Services groups generated revenues in excess of
specified thresholds during the three-year period following the completion of the combination, the Company had earn-out rights entitling it to receive 45% of these excess revenues. The transaction was treated as a disposal of Server and Professional
Services groups and a gain of $53,267,000 was recorded upon completion of the transaction.



For the fourth fiscal quarter of 2001, the Companys operating results included 28.2% of the operating results of Caldera International, adjusted for amortization of 5 months of negative goodwill of approximately
$0.7 million. The net amount of the losses included was $4.6 million. In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2001, the Company also recorded an impairment of the investment, net of the remaining negative goodwill of $7.8 million, in the amount of $22.5
million. The impairment was recorded as the share price of Caldera International was significantly below the fair market value of Tarantellas and was deemed to be other than temporarily impaired.



During the first fiscal quarter of 2002, the Companys net loss included
equity losses of $4.0 million for its share of Caldera International losses. After recording this loss, the carrying value of the shares of Caldera International stock was reduced to zero, in accordance with APB opinion No. 18, The Equity
Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock.



During the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company signed an agreement with Caldera International to redeem the $8 million note receivable held by the Company for $5 million. The note was originally payable in four quarterly installments
of $2 million each, beginning in August 2002. A loss of $3,038,000 was recorded against the gain on the sale of divisions to Caldera for the redemption of the note receivable.



Additionally, Caldera International agreed to the buyout of certain licenses for products bundled in older releases of The
Santa Cruz Operation, Inc.s software, and the buyback of 500,000 post split shares of Caldera International stock held by the Company for $555,000. On March 7, 2002, Caldera International executed a 1 for 4 reverse stock split. Accordingly,
the shares held by the Company were adjusted to reflect the stock split.



During the third quarter of fiscal 2002, Tarantella announced an agreement with Caldera International for Caldera International to repurchase the remaining 3,289,401 shares of Caldera International common stock held
by Tarantella. Tarantella recorded other income of $3,059,250 from this transaction in the third fiscal quarter and

subsequently received the cash in July 2002. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, the Company sold 4,010,417 post split shares of Caldera
International stock for total proceeds of $4,360,938. As of September 30, 2002, the Company did not own any securities in Caldera International. During the third quarter of fiscal 2002, Caldera International also bought out the remaining term of the
OpenServer revenue sharing plan that was part of the original transaction, for $100,000, which was recorded as a gain on the sale of divisions to Caldera. In addition, royalty reserves of $345,000 related to the original transaction were written off
and recorded as a gain on the sale of divisions to Caldera.



As
part of the agreement between the Company and Caldera International, various building leases were assigned to Caldera International, however, the Company was a guarantor under such leases which expire in 2005. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002
the Company was released from its obligation as guarantor. There were also building leases, related to the agreement between the Company and Caldera International, that were assigned to the Company, for which Caldera International was a guarantor,
and for which the Company had $0.5 million of restricted cash in escrow. During the third quarter of fiscal 2003 Caldera International was released from its obligation as guarantor and the $0.5 million restricted cash that was in escrow was returned
to the Company.



Note 14 Reverse Stock Split



On November 14, 2002, the Board of Directors unanimously adopted resolutions
approving and recommending to the shareholders for their approval a series of amendments to the Companys Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Companys Common Stock at a ratio to be
determined by the Companys Board of Directors. On February 27, 2003, the stockholders approved amendments to the Companys Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split. On May 19, 2003, the Board of
Directors unanimously approved the implementation of a reverse split with a ratio of one for five. On June 6, 2003, the Company implemented a one-for-five reverse split and the Companys outstanding common shares were reduced from 49.7 million
shares to approximately 9.9 million shares. The reverse stock split has been retroactively reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for all periods presented.



Note 15Business Combinations



Acquisition of New Moon Systems, Inc.



On June 5, 2003, Tarantella, completed the acquisition of New Moon Systems,
Inc., a privately-held California corporation (New Moon ) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the Agreement), dated May 29, 2003. New Moon, headquartered in San Jose, CA, develops software to simply and
cost-effectively manage and deploy Windows-based applications to end-user desktops in small and medium-sized businesses, as well as enterprise departmental customers. New Moon Canaveral iQ from Tarantella® (Canaveral iQ) extends the capabilities of Microsofts Windows
Terminal Services and answers the demand for a simple and intelligent means of centrally managing remote applications.



Pursuant to the Agreement, Tarantella issued a total of 1,592,000 shares of Tarantella common stock valued at $3.6 million in exchange for all of the
outstanding shares of New Moon and to satisfy its obligations to the former employees of New Moon. The fair value of the Companys common stock was determined based on the average closing price per share of the Companys common stock over
the five day period including the two days before and after the terms of the acquisition were agreed to and announced. The New Moon shareholders shall also receive a minimum cash earnout of approximately $1.7 million over a period from January 1,
2004 to December 31, 2006 based on a royalty of 30% of New Moon product revenues, net of direct costs. After the shareholders have been paid the minimum earnout, they would be entitled to an additional royalty of 15% of New Moon product revenues,
net of direct costs, during this period. In the event the minimum earnout is not achieved

by the conclusion of the quarter ending December 31, 2006, Tarantella shall pay along with the final earnout payment an amount equal to the minimum earnout
less all aggregate earnouts paid to date, less any off-sets and any escrow claim deficiencies. The Company also incurred approximately $0.3 million of direct merger costs, for a total purchase price of approximately $5.7 million.



The results of operations of New Moon subsequent to June 5, 2003, have been
included in the Companys consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2003.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



Net tangible assets acquired as of June 5, 2003 of approximately $1.9 million represent the net
tangible assets of New Moon. A portion of the purchase price has been allocated to identifiable intangible assets. The income approach, which includes an analysis of cash flows and risks associated with achieving such cash flows, was used to
estimate the fair value of the Companys existing technology and subscription/maintenance agreements. The royalty savings approach, which estimates the value of an asset by capitalizing the royalties saved because the Company owns the asset,
was used to estimate the fair value of the Companys patents/core technology and trade name/trademarks. The cost approach, which uses the concept of replacement cost as an indicator of fair value, was used to estimate the fair value of the
Companys value-added reseller (VAR) relationships. The Company is amortizing all identifiable intangible assets on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of three years.



The residual purchase price of $2.4 million was recorded as goodwill.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill relating to the New Moon
acquisition is not being amortized and will be carried at cost and tested for impairment annually and whenever events indicate that an impairment may have occurred. As of September 30, 2003, the Company has incurred acquisition costs of $327,000.



New Moon had approximately 27 employees at the date of the
acquisition. Prior to June 6, 2003, and in connection with the merger, the Company gave redundancy notices to 15 former New Moon employees, and accrued $0.3 million related to their severance benefits. The estimated cost of terminating the employees
was accounted for as part of the purchase price. Of the total number of employees to be terminated, 7 were in research and development, 3 were in sales and marketing and 5 in general and administration. During the quarter ended June 30, 2003, 8 of
the redundant employees left the Company and the remainder left at various dates through September 30, 2003. During the quarter ended June 30, 2003, $0.1 million was paid out as termination benefits and the remaining $0.2 million was paid out during
the quarter ended September 30, 2003.

Note 17Indemnification and
Warranties



Indemnification.The Company licenses its software and services pursuant to a software license agreement, in which the Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the customer against damages
arising out of claims filed by third parties that the Companys products infringe any copyright or other intellectual property right. The term of the indemnification is generally perpetual, limited by applicable statutes of limitations. The
license agreement generally limits the scope of the remedies for such indemnification obligation, including but not limited to certain product usage limitations and the right to replace an infringing product or modify it to make it non-infringing.
If the Company cannot address the infringement by replacing or repairing the product, the Company is allowed to cancel the license and return the fees paid by the customer. The Company has never incurred expense under such indemnification
provisions. The Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal.



As permitted under California law, the Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events while the officer or
director is, or was serving at the Companys request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has a
Directors and Officers insurance policy that limits the Companys exposure and enables it to recover at least a portion of any future amounts paid. As a result of its insurance policy coverage, the Company believes the estimated
fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal.



Warranties.    The Company generally warrants for a period of 90 days that its software products will perform substantially in accordance with its published specifications, that the reproduction of the
software on the media material provided by the Company is correct and that the documentation is correctly printed. In the event of any non-conformance, the Company agrees to repair, replace or accept return of the non-conforming product

and refund any fees paid by the customer for said non-conforming product. The Company has never incurred significant expense under its product warranties.
The Company believes the estimated fair value of these warranty agreements is immaterial.



As discussed in Note 13, as part of the agreement between the Company and Caldera International, various building leases were assigned to Caldera International. However, the Company was a guarantor under such leases
which expire in 2005. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 the Company was released from its obligation as guarantor. There were also building leases, related to the agreement between the Company and Caldera International, that were assigned to the
Company, for which Caldera International was a guarantor, and for which the Company had $0.5 million of restricted cash in escrow. During the third quarter of fiscal 2003 Caldera International was released from its obligation as guarantor and the
$0.5 million restricted cash that was in escrow was returned to the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



Fiscal 2002



During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company announced a restructuring plan, which resulted in a charge of $1.6 million. The Company reduced its
spending levels to align its operating expenses with the Companys lower than expected revenues. The restructuring included a reduction in staffing of 52 employees, a reserve for unused facilities at the Companys corporate headquarters,
and costs associated with closing several foreign offices.



This included a severance charge of $0.9 million for the elimination of 19 positions in the United States, 23 positions in the United Kingdom, and 10 positions in Japan. The reductions in force affected the product development,
support, sales, marketing and general and administrative functions of the Company. As of March 31, 2002, all 52 positions had been eliminated.



Also included was a facilities charge of $0.7 million related to space the Company vacated. The Company had anticipated that it would sub-lease the space
by December 31, 2002. As of September 30, 2003, the Company had not secured a sub-lease tenant, so provision adjustments of $0.5 million and $0.6 million were made at the end of fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002, respectively. The space is now reserved
through September 2004. The Company believes it will be able to sub-lease by that date. The lease for this building expires on June 30, 2005. In addition, a charge was taken for expenses associated with office closures in Japan and Brazil. There was
a non-cash charge of $39,000 related to fixed asset disposals at the Japan subsidiary.



The Company completed the cost reduction actions initiated in fiscal 2002, with the exception of sub-leasing excess space at the Companys corporate headquarters in Santa Cruz, California.

Fiscal 2001



During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company announced a restructuring plan, which resulted in a charge of $0.5 million. The restructuring charge
included a reduction in personnel of 10 employees and a planned elimination of offices in Singapore and Australia. Total cash expenditures were $0.4 million.



The severance charge of $0.4 million included the elimination of 4 positions in the United States and 6 positions in the United Kingdom. The reductions in
work force affected the sales, marketing and general and administrative functions of the Company. At September 30, 2001, all 10 positions had been eliminated. A provision adjustment of $64,000 was made to release excess restructuring reserve, which
resulted from the fact that the Company had not anticipated that the Australian office would be sub-leased. The provision adjustment of $8,453 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 was for the final costs associated with closing the Australian
office.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



During the second quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company announced a restructuring plan which resulted
in a charge of $1.6 million, which when taken with a provision adjustment to a previously established restructuring reserve for severance related to the sale of divisions to Caldera, resulted in net charge for the period of $1.1 million. The
restructuring charge included a reduction in personnel of 28 employees and a reserve for unused facilities. Total cash expenditures were $1.6 million (see table below).



The $1.6 million restructuring charge included a severance charge of $1.5 million for the elimination of 16 positions in the
United States, 4 positions in the United Kingdom, and 8 positions in various other geographies. The reduction in work force affected the sales, marketing and general and administrative functions of the Company. As of September 30, 2001, all 28
positions had been eliminated. The Company vacated additional space within its Santa Cruz, California office in the first quarter of fiscal 2002, and an additional charge of $81,000 was recorded for estimated payments on the lease for an additional
12 months. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, an additional charge of $85,000 was recorded and in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, an additional charge of $64,000 was recorded because the facility was not yet sub-leased. The facility was not
sub-leased as of September 30, 2003 and the restructuring reserve at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 covers rents through September 30, 2004. The Company believes it will be able to sub-lease the space by that date. The lease for this
building expires on June 30, 2005.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



Note 19Industry and Geographic Segment Information



Beginning on May 4, 2001, with the sale of the Server Software and
Professional Services divisions, the Company discontinued managing the business by division or geographic segment. Prior to May 4, 2001, the Company reviewed performance on the basis of its three divisionsthe Server Software Division, the
Tarantella Division, and the Professional Services Division. Accordingly, the Company now operates in one reportable segment, Tarantella.



For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003, one customer accounted for 13.72% of revenue. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, one customer
accounted for 10.3% of the Companys net revenues. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Companys net revenues.



The following table presents information on revenue and long-lived assets by geography. Revenue is allocated based on the
location from which the sale is satisfied and long-lived asset information is based on the physical location of the asset.



The significant reduction of revenues and long-lived assets from fiscal 2001 is due to the sale of the Server and Professional Services divisions to
Caldera International in May 2001.

The Company maintains an employee savings plan, which qualifies under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the plan, participating U.S.
employees may defer up to 50% of their pre-tax salary, up to certain statutory limits. Until December 31, 2002, the Company matched 50% of employee contributions up to the lower of 6% of the employees annual salary or $3,000. As of December
31, 2002, the Company no longer makes any contribution. For fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001, the Companys total contributions towards the 401(k) plan amounted to $14,000, $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively.



During fiscal 2003, there was a partial plan termination of the
Companys 401 (k) plan, which was triggered by the Companys planned reductions in force. As a result, the participants that were terminated became fully vested, regardless of years of service. This did not result in any additional
contribution from the Company. The eight employees that were impacted received additional funds from the plan of approximately $13,000.

Note 23Subsequent Events



Management Change



On December 11, 2003, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had
appointed Francis E. Wilde as Chief Executive Officer (CEO), President and a Director of the Company. Mr. Wilde succeeds Douglas Michels, who became a strategic advisor to the Company, focusing initially on merger and acquisition opportunities. Mr.
Michels will also continue as a Director of Tarantella.



The
Board has also approved the request by several senior executives including Messrs. Wilde, Michels and Alok Mohan, the Companys Chairman, to receive a substantial portion of their calendar year 2004 compensation in the form of restricted stock
in lieu of cash.



On January 6, 2004, the Company announced the
appointment of John M. Greeley as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), reporting directly to Mr. Wilde. Mr. Greeley assumed the CFO responsibilities from Mr. Mohan, who had been serving as acting CFO since September 8, 2003.



Private Placement



On December 26, 2003, the Company completed a private placement of common stock and warrants to the following investors:
Special Situations Technology Funds (who are expanding their previous investment), Starlight Digital Technologies, LLC, an investment group in which Mr. Wilde acts as Managing Director, and an additional private investor, resulting in gross proceeds
to the Company of approximately $2,750,000. In connection with the financing, the Company paid fees in the amount of $232,303.

TARANTELLA, INC.



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



In the private placement, the investors purchased 2,750,000 shares of Tarantella common stock at a
price of $1.00 per share. The investors also acquired warrants to purchase up to an additional 550,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.39 per share. The warrants are exercisable for five years. The Company also has agreed to register the shares of
common stock issued to the investors as well as the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants for resale once the Company has complied with its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and is permitted to
register its securities under the securities laws.



In
connection with the investment, the Company also amended its existing shareholder rights plan such that Special Situations shall be permitted to acquire up to 30% beneficial ownership of the outstanding stock of the Company without triggering the
Companys shareholder rights plan, provided that for purposes of determining Special Situations beneficial ownership, neither the warrants nor any future exercises of warrants will be considered.



On February 23, 2004, the Company announced the completion of a private
placement of common stock and warrants to various investors. In the private placement, the investors purchased 11,678,580 shares of Tarantella common stock at a price of $1.40 per share. The investors also acquired warrants to purchase up to an
additional 2,335,714 shares at an exercise price of $1.70 per share for gross proceeds of $16,350,000. The warrants are exercisable for five years. If the warrants are fully exercised, the Company would receive additional gross proceeds of
approximately $3,970,714. The Company also has agreed to register the shares of common stock issued to the investors as well as the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants for resale once the Company has complied with its reporting obligations
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In connection with the financing, the Company will pay fees in the amount of $1,074,000.



Restructuring



In the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company implemented a restructuring which reduced the existing workforce by two employees. The Company expects to
record a charge of $0.3 million for this restructuring in the first quarter of fiscal 2004.



De-Listing Status (unaudited)



On October 20, 2003, the Company announced that it had received notification from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel that the Companys stock would discontinue trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market effective with the open of
business on Tuesday, October 21, 2003.



This action followed
Tarantellas appeal to Nasdaq for a listing extension after not meeting the stated time requirements to file SEC Form 10-Q for the Companys third fiscal quarter. The Nasdaq Panel determination to delist the Companys stock was based
on the Companys filing delinquency, public interest concerns, and the ongoing nature of the internal revenue investigation. On December 8, 2003, the Company filed an appeal to reverse that portion of the Nasdaq Panels decision relating
to its public interest concerns. On February 27, 2004, the Nasdaq advised the Company that its appeal had been denied.



Tarantellas common stock is not currently eligible to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board but is eligible for quotation on the OTC Pink Sheets. The
Companys trading symbol has changed to TTLA.PK.



Regaining SEC compliance may allow the Companys shares to be eligible for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. If the Company resumes compliance with the periodic reporting requirements of the 1934 Exchange Act, it will attempt to meet
the listing requirements for the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, however some requirements such as minimum bid price and market capitalization are outside of the Companys control.

INDEPENDENT
AUDITORS REPORT



To the Board of
Directors and Stockholders of

Tarantella, Inc.

Santa Cruz, CA



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tarantella, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company), as of September 30, 2003 and 2002, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.



We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.



In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the
Company as of September 30, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2003 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.



As discussed in Note 2, the accompanying 2002 consolidated financial
statements have been restated.

Item 9.Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosures



There were no disagreements with the Companys independent accountants during the fiscal years ended September 30,
2003, 2002 and 2001.



Item 9A.Controls and Procedures



|(a) |  | Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
|--- |  | -------------------------------------------------



The events cited in this report that are the subject of the restatement were the result of material weaknesses in the Companys system of internal
controls and operations. The Company has taken and intends to continue to take measures to cure these weaknesses, which include changes in senior management, strengthening the independence of the Board of Directors and tightening internal policies
and procedures.



The Company has carried out an evaluation,
under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and
there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. Based upon their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded
that disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in the Company reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, except as noted below with respect to the restatement.



|(b) |  | Changes in internal controls.
|--- |  | -----------------------------



Due to the matters that caused the restatement of the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the three and twelve months ended
September 30, 2002 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and three and six months ended March 31, 2003, the Company has taken a number of steps to improve the
effectiveness of internal controls, including the following:



The Company now requires extensive sales certifications from all sales representatives and systems engineers to be provided to the Companys finance department.



The Company requires proof of an end user purchase order when fulfilling transactions over $25,000.



The Company now requires all distributors to submit sales out reports and
inventory reports prior to the closing of a financial period.



The Company drafted a revenue recognition handbook and distributed it to all sales personnel. Each person in sales has certified they have read and understand the handbook.



We believe that these efforts have addressed the material weaknesses and significant deficiencies that affected our internal
controls in 2002 and 2003. The Company continues to improve and refine its internal controls. This process is ongoing, and the Company seeks to foster an exemplary internal control environment.



Other than as summarized above, there has been no change in the
Companys internal controls over financial reporting that occured during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Companys internal controls over financial reporting. The
Company will continue to assess disclosure controls and procedures and will take any further actions that are deemed necessary.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Act) requires the Companys executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of a registered class of the



66



---

##### Table of Contents

Companys equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on its
review of the copies of such forms received by the Company, or written representations from certain reporting persons, the Company believes that all Section 16 filing requirements applicable to its officer, directors and ten percent (10%)
shareholders during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003 were fulfilled.



Code of Ethics



The Company has adopted a Code
of Ethics that applies to the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, Senior Financial Officers and employees with financial reporting responsibilities, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 14.1 to this Form 10-K.



Financial Expert



The Board of Directors has determined that no member of the Audit Committee satisfies all of the criteria to be a
financial expert as defined in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K. However, each of the members of the Audit Committee is an independent director as defined under Rule 10A-3(b) of the Exchange Act. The Company did not have an
Audit Committee financial expert during the most recent fiscal year. The Companys principal focus during that time was on the New Moon acquisition, the internal review and regaining compliance with the Nasdaq Smallcap Markets minimum bid
level requirement and its reporting requirement under the Exchange Act. As a result of those efforts, the Company was unable to allocate the resources necessary to identify an individual with the expertise necessary to serve as a financial expert on
the Audit Committee.

Employment Contracts
and Change-In-Control Arrangements



In March 1996, the
Board of Directors approved a resolution providing that prior to or after a change in control, as defined in the Option Plan, any outstanding options held by corporate officers that were granted pursuant to the Option Plan that are not at such time
exercisable and vested shall become fully exercisable and vested.



The Company has entered into change in control agreements with each of the Named Executive Officers. Pursuant to these agreements, each such officer is eligible to receive, in the event that his or her employment is involuntarily terminated
within one year following a change in control of the Company, an amount equal to the product of twelve (12) times his or her total monthly compensation including targeted bonuses at 100% attainment, continuation of health benefits available to him
or her prior to the involuntary termination of employment for twelve (12) months thereafter and accelerated vesting on all options held. Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, a change in control is as defined in the Companys 1994
Incentive Stock Option Plan.



Compensation of Directors



During fiscal year 2003, the Company made payments to the Outside Directors
in an aggregate amount of eighty-seven thousand two hundred and seventy dollars ($87,270) for attendance to Board meetings (including committee meetings) during the fiscal year. The following payments were made to each outside director: Ninian
Eadie, twenty-three thousand, and twenty dollars ($23,020); Ronald Lachman, six thousand two hundred and fifty dollars ($6,250); Robert McClure, thirty-five thousand two hundred and fifty dollars ($35,250); R. Duff Thompson, fifteen thousand, seven
hundred and fifty dollars ($15,750); and Gilbert Williamson, seven thousand dollars ($7,000). The Company has a consulting agreement with chairman Mohan, pursuant to which the Company shall pay for consulting services pertaining to the general
business of the Company. The details of this agreement are attached in exhibit 10.36. In fiscal year 2003, the Company paid Mr. Mohan $76,500 for consulting services. Directors are reimbursed for certain expenses in connection with attendance at
board and committee meetings.



Outside Directors (i.e.,
non-employee directors) receive compensation for their service on the Board pursuant to the Director Plan. This compensation is in the form of stock options, or in the case of the Annual Grant, which is automatically granted on the first day of each
fiscal year, cash may be elected in lieu of stock options. All current outside directors elected stock options for fiscal year 2003 except Dr. McClure.

The Companys Director Plan, which provides for the grant in non-statutory stock options to
non-employee directors of the Company, was adopted by the Board of Directors in March 1993 and approved by the shareholders in May 1993. The Company has reserved a total of 300,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Director Plan.
The Director Plan is currently administered by the Board of Directors. Under the Director Plan, each non-employee director automatically receives a non-statutory option to purchase 8,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock on the date upon
which such person first becomes a director (the Initial Grant). In addition, each non-employee director who remains in continuous status as a non-employee director is automatically granted a non-statutory option (the Annual
Grant) to purchase 32,000 shares of Common Stock on the first day of each fiscal year, 1,200 shares of which are pursuant to the Director Option Plan and 800 of which are pursuant to the Incentive Stock Option Plan.



An Outside Director is paid an annual retainer valued at $25,000. For Fiscal
2004 the annual retainer is payable 25% in cash ($6,250) plus at the directors election, either 18,750 shares of Common Stock or a stock option grant of 18,750 shares that vests quarterly over one year.



An Outside Director may elect to receive cash compensation in lieu of an
Annual Grant. Each Outside Director who makes such an election shall receive cash compensation each quarter payable at a rate determined by the Board. In addition to the annual election of either cash compensation or stock options grants, each Board
member also received the following payments for meeting attendance in fiscal 2003: one thousand dollars ($1,000) per regularly scheduled Board meeting attended in person, seven hundred fifty dollars ($750) per special meeting, which may be attended
telephonically, and seven hundred fifty dollars ($750) per committee meeting, which may be attended telephonically.



Options granted under the Director Plan have a term of ten (10) years unless terminated sooner upon termination of the optionees status as a
director or otherwise pursuant to the Director Plan. Such options are not transferable by the optionee other than by will or the laws of descent or distribution, and each option is exercisable during the lifetime of the director only by such
director. The exercise price of each option granted under the Director Plan is equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Initial Grant options granted under the Director Plan vest cumulatively at the rate of
one-twentieth (1/20th) of the shares subject to the option for every three months after the date of grant. Annual
Grant options vest at a rate of one-fourth (1/4th) of the shares subject to the option for every three months after
the date of grant.



In the event of a merger of the Company
with or into another corporation or a consolidation, acquisition of assets of like transaction involving the Company immediately prior to occurrence of a change in control, any outstanding option shall become fully exercisable and vested.



Unless terminated sooner, the Director Plan will terminate on
November 14, 2012. The Board has authority to amend or terminate the Director Plan provided no such action may affect options already granted and such options shall remain in full force and effect. As of September 30, 2003, options to purchase
66,600 shares of Common Stock at a weighted average exercise price (per share) of approximately $27.139 per share were outstanding and 197,000 shares remained available for future option grants under the Director Plan.



Report of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors



The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors serves as an
administrative arm of the Board to make decisions regarding executive compensation and to make recommendations to the Board on compensation matters generally. The following is the report of the Compensation Committee describing compensation policies
and rationale applicable to the Companys executive officers with respect to the compensation paid to such executive officers for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003. The information contained in such report shall not be deemed to be
soliciting material or to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, nor shall such information be incorporated by reference into any future filing under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, except to the extent
that the Company specifically incorporates it by reference into such filing.

The Compensation Committee is a standing committee comprised of three nonemployee directors. After evaluating managements performance, the
Compensation Committee recommends compensation and pay levels to the full Board for approval. Employee directors do not vote on their own compensation. Stock option grants to executive officers are approved by the Compensation Committee.



Overview and Policies for 2003



The goals of the Compensation Committee are to attract, motivate, reward,
and retain the key executive talent necessary to achieve the Companys business objectives and contribute to the long-term success of the Company. The Compensation Committee currently uses salary, bonus, and stock options to meet these goals.



In fiscal year 2003, the Compensation Committee reviewed the
compensation of the Companys key executive officers by evaluating each executives scope of responsibility, prior experience, and salary history, and also took into account the salaries for similar positions at comparable high technology
companies. In reviewing the compensation, the Compensation Committee focused on each executives prior performance with the Company and expected contribution to the Companys future success.



The Company provides long-term incentives to executive officers through the
Option Plan. The purposes of the Option Plan are to attract and retain the best employee talent available and to create a direct link between compensation and the long-term performance of the Company. In general, the Option Plan incorporates
four-year vesting periods to encourage employees to remain with the Company. The size of each option grant is based on the recipients position and tenure with the Company, the recipients past performance, and the size of previous stock
option grants, primarily weighted toward the recipients position. In fiscal year 2003, the Company continued its policy of granting stock options to new employees and granted additional stock options to employees, including executive officers,
who had made and were expected to make significant contributions to the Companys development. These stock option grants were based primarily on the scope of the executive officers responsibilities at the Company and the remuneration to
be paid to such officer.



The compensation for Douglas L.
Michels in fiscal year 2003 was approved by the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee made its recommendation and the Board made its determination of the Chief Executive Officers compensation after considering the same factors used to
determine the compensation of other executive officers.



Summary



The Compensation Committee believes
that the Companys compensation has been successful in attracting and retaining qualified employees and in linking compensation directly to corporate performance relative to the Companys goals. The Companys compensation policies
will evolve over time as the Company moves to attain the near-term goals it has set for itself while maintaining its focus on building long-term shareholder value.

In April 1999, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Mohan, pursuant to which Mr. Mohan became an external consultant to the Company
and his status as an employee ceased. The term of the agreement was for one year, commencing April 21, 1999, and was renewable by mutual agreement of both parties with approval by the Compensation Committee. As compensation for Mr. Mohans
consulting services to the Company he received a fee target of one hundred and twenty-six thousand dollars ($126,000) per year, paid as follows: ninety thousand dollars ($90,000) annually as a retainer; and thirty-six thousand dollars ($36,000)
annually as a target incentive. Incentive payments were made solely based upon the Companys performance against its Revenue and EPS measures, paid in accordance with the provisions of the Companys Management Incentive Plan. The
consulting agreement expired April 21, 2000, and the Company entered into a new consulting agreement, commencing on April 22, 2000 and continuing through the completion of the acquisition by Caldera Systems, Inc. of the Companys Server and
Professional Services business. As compensation for Mr. Mohans consulting services to the Company he received five thousand dollars ($5,000) per month, with no incentive bonus. With the approval of the Compensation Committee, the Company
entered into amendments to Mr. Mohans consulting agreement pursuant to which, the consulting agreement continued through January 2004, upon the same terms and conditions. As compensation for Mr. Mohans consulting services to the Company,
he received a fee targeted at one hundred and eighty thousand dollars ($180,000) per year paid as follows: ninety thousand dollars ($90,000) annually as a retainer (paid monthly at seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500); and ninety thousand
dollars ($90,000) annually (paid quarterly) as a target incentive. Incentive payments were made solely based upon the Companys performance against its Revenue and Operating Income measures, and paid in accordance with the provisions of the
Companys Management Incentive Plan. Mr. Mohan received seventy-six thousand five hundred dollars ($76,500) for incentive payments during fiscal year 2003. For any quarter that the Company implements a voluntary hour reduction Mr.
Mohans monthly retainer was reduced accordingly. Beginning in January 2003, his retainer was six thousand, three hundred and seventy-five dollars ($6,375). On January 19, 2004, the Company entered into a new agreement which will remain in
effect until December 31, 2004. Mr, Mohan will receive $22,500 annually (paid monthly) cash compensation, and he will receive 67,500 shares of restricted stock. The Shares are subject to a risk of forfeiture in the event of certain terminations of
service relationship, which risk of forfeiture will lapse over time based on continued performance of services or earlier upon a change of control of Tarantella, Inc. Mr. Mohan will also receive $90,000 annually (paid annually) as a target
incentive. Incentive payments shall be made solely based upon Tarantellas performance against its Revenue and Operating Income measures paid in accordance with the provisions of the Tarantella Management Incentive Plan. Mr. Mohans stock
options previously held continue to vest over the term of the agreement and convert to non-statutory options. He continues to be covered under the Companys medical, dental, and vision plans. In addition, Mr. Mohan will forego any compensation
normally accorded to members of the Companys Board of Directors for participation on the Board or for attendance at committee meetings and/or board meetings and will not be entitled to additional stock options granted to board members on an
annual basis.

any director or executive officer are subject to approval by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors.



On December 26, 2003, the Company completed a private placement of common stock and warrants to the following investors: Special Situations Technology
Funds (who are expanding on their previous investment), Starlight Digital Technologies, LLC, an investment group in which Mr. Wilde, the Companys President, Chief Executive Officer and Director, acts as Managing Director, and an additional

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. Such agreements
require the Company to indemnify such individuals to the fullest extent permitted by California law.



The Compensation Committee makes recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning salaries and incentive compensation for directors and officers of
the Company. Mr. Michels, who served as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company during fiscal year 2003, is not a member of the Compensation Committee and cannot vote on matters decided by the Committee. Mr. Michels has participated in
the discussions and decisions regarding salaries and incentive compensation for all employees of and consultants to the Company, except that Mr. Michels has been excluded from discussions and decisions regarding his own salary and incentive
compensation. No executive officer of the Company serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officer serving as a member of the Companys Board of Directors or
compensation committee (Interlock). There are no Interlocks between the Companys Board of Directors or Compensation Committee and boards of directors or compensation committees of other companies.

There are estimates included in the above table for fiscal 2003 for fees incurred but not yet billed. Estimates for the unbilled fees were provided by
Deloitte & Touche LLP.



Audit Committee Authorization of Audit and
Non-Audit Services



The Audit Committee has the sole
authority to authorize all audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent audit firm engaged to conduct the annual audit of the Companys consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Audit Committee has adopted
pre-approval policies and procedures that are detailed as to each particular service to be provided by the independent auditors, and such policies and procedures do not permit the Audit Committee to delegate its responsibilities under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to management. The Audit Committee pre-approved fees for all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent audit firm during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003 as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002.



The Audit Committee has considered whether the
provision of the non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independent auditors independence, and has advised the Company that, in its opinion, the activities performed by Deloitte & Touche LLP on the Companys behalf are
compatible with maintaining the independence of such auditors.
