WEBSENSE, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States for interim financial statements and with the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information or
footnote disclosures normally included in complete financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of
management, the statements include all adjustments necessary, which are of a
normal and recurring nature, for the fair presentation of our financial
position and of the results for the interim periods presented.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December
31, 2001, included in Websense, Inc.s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Operating results for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year
ending December 31, 2002. The balance sheet at December 31, 2001 has been
derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include
all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.

2. Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per common share (Basic EPS) excludes dilution and is
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share (Diluted
EPS) reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or
other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common
stock. The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of
securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on net income per common
share.

For the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, there were
outstanding options to purchase 1,669,000 and 493,000 shares, respectively,
that had an exercise price greater than the average market price of the common
shares for the respective quarters. Therefore, these shares would have had an
anti-dilutive effect on EPS.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, there were
outstanding options to purchase 1,065,000 and 392,000 shares, respectively,
that had an exercise price greater than the average market price of the common
shares for the respective nine months. Therefore, these shares would have had
an anti-dilutive effect on EPS.

Accumulated other comprehensive income totaled $526,000 and $60,000 at

5. New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS
No. 146 addresses the recognition, measurement and reporting costs that are
associated with exit or disposal activities. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit
or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company
does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 146 will have a material effect
on its financial statements.

6. Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made for consistent presentation.

Overview

We provide Employee Internet Management, or EIM, solutions that enable
businesses to monitor, report and manage how their employees use the Internet.
Our Websense Enterprise solution supports an organizations efforts to improve
employee productivity, conserve network bandwidth, mitigate potential legal
liability and enhance network security. In 1996, we released our first software
product, Websense Internet Screening System, and since that time, we have
focused our business on developing and selling EIM solutions. In December 1999,
we released v4.0, a redesigned version of Websense Enterprise with our most
recent version released in April 2002. We expect to launch sales of the next
generation of Websense software  Websense Enterprise v5.0  in the first
quarter of 2003, including enhanced EIM capabilities and enabling application modules. We
currently derive nearly all of our revenue from subscriptions to the Websense
Enterprise solution and expect this trend to continue in the future.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, we derived approximately
31% of revenue from international sales compared to approximately 33% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2001. Despite the decline year-over-year as a
percentage of total revenue, we believe international markets represent a
significant growth opportunity and are continuing to expand our international
operations, particularly in selected countries in the European and Asia/Pacific
markets.

We currently sell Websense Enterprise through both indirect and direct
channels; however, sales through indirect channels currently account for more
than 75% of our revenue and our strategy is to continue to rely on indirect
sales channels for a significant majority of our sales.

As described below, we recognize revenue from subscriptions to Websense
Enterprise on a monthly straight-line basis over the term of the subscription.
However, we recognize operating expenses as they are incurred. These operating
expenses include commissions relating to the sale of new subscriptions, which
are based on the total amount of the subscription contract and are fully
expensed in the current period. Operating expenses have continued to increase
as compared to prior periods due to expanded selling and marketing efforts,
continued product research and development and investments in administrative
infrastructure to support subscription sales that we will recognize as revenue
in subsequent periods.

Critical Accounting Policies

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated
financial statements.

Revenue Recognition.When a purchase decision is made, customers enter into a
subscription agreement, which is generally 12, 24 or 36 months in duration and
for a fixed number of users. We promptly invoice customers for the full amount
of their subscriptions at the time a subscription is activated. Payment is due
for the full term of the subscription generally within 30 days of the invoice.
We recognize revenue on a monthly straight-line basis over the term of the
subscription agreement. We record amounts billed to customers in excess of
recognizable revenue as deferred revenue on our balance sheet. Upon expiration
of the subscription, customers who wish to resubscribe typically must do so at
then current rates to continue using Websense Enterprise. Our revenue is
significantly influenced by subscription renewals, and a decrease in
subscription renewals amounts could negatively impact our revenue.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts
for estimated losses resulting from the inability or unwillingness of our
customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our
customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to
make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Deferred Tax Assets.We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax
assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While we
have considered future expected taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible
tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in
the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred
tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amounts, an adjustment
to the deferred tax assets would increase our income or additional paid-in
capital in the period such determination was made. Should we determine that we
would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the
future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged against
income in the period such determination was made. As of December 31, 2001, we
had $14.3 million in gross deferred tax assets, which were fully offset by a
valuation allowance.

Revenue

Revenue increased from $9.5 million in the third quarter of 2001 to $16.0
million in the third quarter of 2002. This increase was primarily a result of
the addition of new customers. Approximately 51% of subscription revenue
recognized in the third quarter of 2002 was derived from sales to first-time
customers, who initially purchased one-, two-, or three-year subscriptions to
Websense Enterprise in 2002 or prior years. The remaining 49% of subscription
revenue was generated from renewal business with existing customers.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of the costs of Web site review, technical
support and infrastructure costs associated with maintaining our database. Cost
of revenue increased from $911,000 in the third quarter of 2001 to $1.1 million
in the third quarter of 2002. The increase was primarily due to the costs
associated with additional personnel in our technical support group. We expect
cost of revenue to increase in the future as we support the growth and
maintenance of our database as well as the technical support needs of our
customers. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue decreased from 10% in
the third quarter of 2001 to 7% in the third quarter of 2002. This decrease was
primarily due to benefits derived from the automation of database search and
support processes as well as the leveraging of database and technical support
costs over a larger revenue base. We expect that cost of revenue, as a
percentage of revenue, will remain below 10% of revenue for the foreseeable
future.

Gross Margin

Gross margin increased from $8.6 million in the third quarter of 2001 to $14.9
million in the third quarter of 2002. The increase was primarily due to
increased revenue. As a percentage of revenue, gross margin increased from 90%
in the third quarter of 2001 to 93% in the third quarter of 2002. This increase
was primarily due to benefits derived from the automation of database search
and support processes as well as the leveraging of database and technical
support costs over a larger revenue base. We expect that gross margin, as a
percentage of revenue, will remain in excess of 90% of revenue for the
foreseeable future.

Operating Expenses

Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of
salaries, commissions and benefits related to personnel engaged in selling,
marketing and customer support functions, along with costs related to public
relations, investor relations, advertising, promotions and travel as well as
allocated facilities costs and depreciation expenses. Selling and marketing
expenses increased from $4.5 million in the third quarter of 2001 to $6.6
million in the third quarter of 2002. The increase in selling and marketing
expenses of $2.1 million was primarily due to increased headcount costs and
increased advertising and promotional activities in North America, Europe and
Asia. We expect selling and marketing expenses to increase in the future as
more personnel are added to support our globally expanding selling and
marketing efforts.

Research and development. Research and development expenses consist primarily
of salaries and benefits for software developers, contract programmers, and
allocated facilities costs and depreciation expenses. Research and development
expenses increased from $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2001 to $3.1
million in the third quarter of 2002. The increase of $1.3 million in research
and development expenses was primarily a result of personnel and consultants
added since the third quarter of 2001 to support our expanded list of
technology partners, the growing enhancements of Websense Enterprise, including
the development of Websense Enterprise v5.0, and additional products. We expect
research and development expenses to increase in the future, as more personnel
are added to support additional technology partners, growth of the enhancements
of Websense Enterprise and expansion of our product offerings.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries, benefits and related expenses for our executive,
finance, human resources and administrative personnel, third party professional
service fees and allocated facilities costs and depreciation expenses. General
and administrative expenses increased from $1.2 million in the third quarter of
2001 to $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2002. The $300,000 increase in
general and administrative expenses is primarily a result of personnel added
since the third quarter of 2001 to support our growing operations, both
domestically and internationally, as well as higher infrastructure costs in
Europe. We expect general and administrative expenses to increase in future
periods, reflecting growth in operations and increasing expenses associated
with being a public company and expansion of our international operations.

Amortization of stock-based compensation. Amortization of stock-based
compensation decreased from $210,000 in the third quarter of 2001 to $95,000 in
the third quarter of 2002. The decrease in the amortization expense is
primarily due to the accelerated method of amortization used. We expect
amortization of stock-based compensation to decrease in future periods as a
result of using the accelerated method of amortization.

Interest Income, Net

Net interest income decreased from $1.0 million in the third quarter of
2001 to $665,000 in the third quarter of 2002. The decrease is due to lower
interest rates earned by our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
despite increased balances as of September 30, 2002 as compared to September
30, 2001.

Provision for Income Taxes

In the third quarter of 2001, our provision for income taxes related only
to our wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom. Our provision for income
taxes in the third quarter of 2002 relates to our wholly-owned subsidiaries in
the United Kingdom, Japan and Australia as well as domestic state income taxes
in several states. Beyond these domestic state income taxes, we did not provide
for any other income taxes during the third quarter of 2002 related to our
operations in the United States due to the partial utilization of our deferred
tax assets that we recorded in prior periods. We expect our effective U.S. tax
rate to be less than both the federal and state statutory rates in 2002 due to
the continued utilization of our deferred tax assets; however, we expect our
provision for income taxes to increase in 2002 as compared to 2001. We expect
the provision for income taxes to increase significantly in 2003 to approximate
statutory rates. Subsequent to 2003, the provision for income taxes should
decrease over time due to benefits derived from lower tax rates associated with
foreign income.

Revenue

Revenue increased from $24.6 million in the first nine months of 2001 to
$43.6 million in the first nine months of 2002. This increase was primarily a
result of the addition of new customers. Approximately 53% of subscription
revenue recognized in the first nine months of 2002 was derived from sales to
first-time customers, who initially purchased one-, two-, or three-year
subscriptions to Websense Enterprise in 2002 or prior years. The remaining 47%
of subscription revenue was generated from renewal business with existing
customers.

##### Table of Contents



Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue increased from $2.6 million in the first nine months of
2001 to $3.1 million in the first nine months of 2002. The increase of $500,000
was primarily due to the costs associated with additional personnel in our
technical support group. We expect cost of revenue to increase in the future as
we support the growth and maintenance of our database as well as the technical
support needs of our customers. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue
decreased from 10% in the first nine months of 2001 to 7% in the first nine
months of 2002. This decrease was primarily due to benefits derived from the
automation of database search and support processes as well as the leveraging
of database and technical support costs over a larger revenue base. We expect
that cost of revenue, as a percentage of revenue, will remain below 10% of
revenue for the foreseeable future.

Gross Margin

Gross margin increased from $22.0 million in the first nine months of 2001
to $40.5 million in the first nine months of 2002. The increase was primarily
due to increased revenue. As a percentage of revenue, gross margin increased
from 90% in the first nine months of 2001 to 93% in the first nine months of
2002. This increase was primarily due to benefits derived from the automation
of database search and support processes as well as the leveraging of database
and technical support costs over a larger revenue base. We expect that gross
margin, as a percentage of revenue, will remain in excess of 90% of revenue for
the foreseeable future.

Operating Expenses

Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses increased from $13.8
million in the first nine months of 2001 to $18.8 million in the first nine
months of 2002. The increase in selling and marketing expenses of $5.0 million
was primarily due to increased headcount costs and increased advertising and
promotional activities in North America, Europe and Asia. We expect selling and
marketing expenses to increase in the future as more personnel are added to
support our globally expanding selling and marketing efforts.

Research and development. Research and development expenses increased from $5.5
million in the first nine months of 2001 to $7.9 million in the first nine
months of 2002. The increase of $2.4 million in research and development
expenses was primarily a result of personnel added since the first nine months
of 2001 to support our expanded list of technology partners, the growing
enhancements of Websense Enterprise, including the development of Websense
Enterprise v5.0, and additional products. We expect research and development
expenses to increase in the future, as more personnel are added to support
additional technology partners, growth of the feature set of Websense
Enterprise and expansion of our product offerings.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses increased from
$3.9 million in the first nine months of 2001 to $4.6 million in the first nine
months of 2002. The $700,000 increase in general and administrative expenses is
primarily due to higher state sales tax expenses, higher foreign income tax
consulting expenses, higher personnel expenses to support our growing
operations, both domestically and internationally, and higher infrastructure
costs in Europe. We expect general and administrative expenses to increase in
future periods, reflecting growth in operations and increased expenses
associated with being a public company and expansion of our international
operations.

Amortization of stock-based compensation. Amortization of stock-based
compensation decreased from $655,000 in the first nine months of 2001 to
$380,000 in the first nine months of 2002. The decrease in the amortization
expense is primarily due to the accelerated method of amortization used. We
expect amortization of stock-based compensation to decrease in future periods
as a result of using the accelerated method of amortization.

Interest Income, Net

Net interest income decreased from $3.3 million in the first nine months
of 2001 to $2.1 million in the first nine months of 2002. The decrease is due
to lower interest rates earned by our cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities despite increased balances as of September 30, 2002 as compared to
September 30, 2001.

Provision for Income Taxes

In the first nine months of 2001, our provision for income taxes related
only to our wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom. Our provision for
income taxes in the first nine months of 2002 relates to our wholly-owned
subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Japan and Australia as well as domestic
state income taxes in several states. Beyond these domestic state income taxes,
we did not provide for any other income taxes during the first nine months of
2002 related to our operations in the United States due to the partial
utilization of our deferred tax assets that we recorded in prior periods. We
expect our effective U.S. tax rate to be less than both the federal and state
statutory rates in 2002 due to the continued utilization of our deferred tax
assets; however, we expect our provision for income taxes to increase in 2002
as compared to 2001. We expect the provision for income taxes to increase
significantly in 2003 to approximate statutory rates. Subsequent to 2003, the
provision for income taxes should decrease over time due to benefits derived
from lower tax rates associated with foreign income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

From our inception through March 2000, we financed our operations
primarily through the sale of preferred equity securities. In total, we raised
approximately $15.5 million, net of fees and expenses, through the sale of
preferred equity securities. In March 2000, we closed our initial public
offering with proceeds, net of underwriting fees and offering expenses, of
approximately $65.7 million. In the past, we have also utilized available
financing for the purchase of capital equipment.

As of September 30, 2002, we had cash and cash equivalents of $56.7
million and investments in marketable securities of $71.8 million and an
accumulated deficit of $7.5 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $23.2 million in the first
nine months of 2002 and $12.1 million in the first nine months of 2001. In the
first nine months of 2002, cash provided by operating activities was primarily
due to net income from operations and an increase in our subscriptions (which
are initially recorded as deferred revenue). In the first nine months of 2001,
cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to an increase in our
subscriptions (which are initially recorded as deferred revenue). Our operating
cash flow and revenue are significantly influenced by subscription renewals,
and a decrease in subscription renewals could negatively impact our operating
cash flow and revenue.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $6.5 million in the first
nine months of 2002 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $14.8
million in the first nine months of 2001. The increase in cash provided by
investing activities in the first nine months of 2002 is primarily due to
maturities of marketable securities.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.2 million in the first
nine months of 2002 compared to $1.1 million in the first nine months of 2001.
Cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of 2002 and the
first nine months of 2001 was due to proceeds received from the exercise of
stock options and the issuance of common stock related to the Companys
employee stock option and stock purchase plans.

At September 30, 2002, existing or future letters of credit totaled
$350,000. We have operating lease commitments of $116,000 during the remaining
quarter of 2002, $1.2 million in 2003, $1.2 million in 2004, $1.2 million in
2005, $1.2 million in 2006 and $1.3 million in 2007. A significant majority of
our operating lease commitments are related to our corporate headquarters
lease, which was renewed in April 2002. The lease renewal incentives result in
no rent payments in the third and fourth quarters of 2002 and escalating rent
payments from 2004 to 2007. The rent expense related to our corporate
headquarters lease renewal will be recorded monthly on a straight-line basis in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents balances and investments in
marketable securities will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for
at least the next 12 months. We intend to continue to invest our cash in excess
of current operating requirements in interest bearing, investment-grade
securities. If existing cash is insufficient to satisfy our liquidity
requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities. The
sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities would result in
additional dilution to our stockholders. Additional debt would result in
increased expenses and could result in covenants that would restrict our
operations. We have not made arrangements to obtain additional financing and
there is no assurance that financing, if required, will be available in amounts
or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Risks and Uncertainties

You should carefully consider the following information in addition to other
information in this report before you decide to purchase our common stock. The
risks and uncertainties described below are those that we currently deem to be
material and that we believe are specific to our company and our industry. If
any of these or other risks actually occurs, the trading price of our common
stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Our future success depends on our existing customers renewing and purchasing
additional subscriptions to Websense Enterprise.

Our future success depends on achieving substantial revenue from customer
renewals for subscriptions to Websense Enterprise. Subscriptions for Websense
Enterprise typically have durations of 12, 24 or 36 months. Our customers have
no obligation to renew their subscriptions upon expiration. We may be unable to
generate significant revenue from renewals. In order to maintain our revenue we
must be successful in selling renewal subscriptions.

Our future success also depends on our ability to sell further subscriptions to
existing customers in order to obtain additional seats within their respective
organizations. As a result, to increase our revenue we must sell our existing
customers additional subscriptions for Websense Enterprise to get greater
coverage of their workforces. This may require increasingly sophisticated and
costly sales efforts targeting senior management and other management personnel
associated with our customers Internet infrastructure.

Because we expect to derive substantially all of our future revenue from
subscription fees for Websense Enterprise, any failure of this product to
satisfy customer demands or to achieve more widespread market acceptance will
seriously harm our business.

Substantially all of our revenue comes from subscriptions to Websense
Enterprise and we expect this trend will continue for the foreseeable future.
As a result, if for any reason revenue from Websense Enterprise declines or
does not grow as rapidly as we anticipate, our operating results and our
business will be significantly impaired. If Websense Enterprise fails to meet
the needs of our existing and target customers, or if it does not compare
favorably in price and performance to competing products, our growth will be
limited. Many of our competitors are seeking to compete with us by aggressively
reducing the price of their products. Websense Enterprise may not achieve
continued market acceptance. Our future financial performance also will depend,
in part, on our ability to diversify our offerings by successfully developing,
introducing and gaining customer acceptance of new products and enhanced
versions of Websense Enterprise. We may not be successful in achieving market
acceptance of any new products that we develop or of enhanced versions of
Websense Enterprise. Any failure or delay in diversifying our existing
offerings could harm our business, results of operations and financial
condition.

We face increasing competition, which has placed pressure on our pricing and
which could prevent us from increasing revenue or maintaining profitability. In
addition, we may face competition from better-established companies that have
significantly greater resources.

The market for our products is intensely competitive and is likely to become
even more so in the future. Our current principal competitors frequently offer
their products at a significantly lower price than Websense Enterprise, which
has resulted in pricing pressures on sales of our product and potentially could
result in the commoditization of EIM products. If we are unable to maintain the
current pricing on sales of Websense Enterprise and increase our pricing in the
future, our profitability could be negatively impacted. In addition, pricing
pressures and increased competition generally could result in reduced sales,
reduced margins or the failure of Websense Enterprise to achieve or maintain
more widespread market acceptance, any of which could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our
current principal competitors include:



| |  | companies offering network filtering products, such as SurfControl plc,
Secure Computing, Symantec Corporation, N2H2 Incorporated, Elron
Software, Inc. and 8e6 Technologies; and
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 
| |  | companies offering network reporting products, such as the WebTrends
business acquired by NetIQ in 2001 and Wavecrest Computing.                                                 

We also face current and potential competition from vendors of Internet
servers, operating systems and networking hardware, many of which now, or may
in the future, develop and/or bundle Employee Internet Management, or EIM,
products with their products. We also compete against, and expect increased
competition from, anti-virus software developers, traditional network
management software developers and Web management service providers. If EIM
functions become standard features of Internet-related hardware or software,
the demand for Websense Enterprise will decrease. Furthermore, even if Websense
Enterprise provides greater functionality and is more effective than the
products offered by vendors of Internet-related hardware or software, potential
customers might accept this limited functionality in lieu of purchasing
Websense Enterprise. In addition, our own indirect sales channels may decide to
develop or sell competing products instead of Websense Enterprise. Many of our
potential competitors enjoy substantial competitive advantages, such as:



| |  | greater name recognition and larger marketing budgets and resources;        
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 
| |  | established marketing relationships and access to larger customer bases; and
| 
| |  | substantially greater financial, technical and other resources.             

As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we
can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or customer
requirements. For all of the foregoing reasons, we may not be able to compete
successfully against our current and future competitors.

Sales to customers outside the United States have accounted for a significant
portion of our revenue, and we expect this trend to continue, which exposes us
to risks inherent in international sales.

We market and sell our products outside the United States through value-added
resellers, distributors and other resellers. International sales represented
approximately 31% of our total revenue in the first nine months of 2002 and
approximately 33% in the first nine months of 2001, although international
sales have increased 66% in absolute dollars in the first nine months of 2002
over the first nine months of 2001. As a key component of our business
strategy, we intend to expand our international sales but, as evidenced by the
recent decline of our international sales as a percentage of our total sales
mix, success cannot be assured. In addition to the risks associated with our
domestic sales, our international sales are subject to the following risks:



| |  | dependence on foreign distributors and their sales channels;                                                                                        
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 
| |  | localization of our Websense Enterprise products and our products ability to properly categorize and filter Web sites
containing foreign languages;
| 
| |  | laws and business practices favoring local competitors;                                                                                             
| 
| |  | compliance with multiple, conflicting and changing governmental laws and regulations, including tax laws and regulations;                           
| 
| |  | foreign currency fluctuations;                                                                                                                      
| 
| |  | longer accounts receivable payment cycles and other collection difficulties; and                                                                    
| 
| |  | regional economic and political conditions.                                                                                                         

Such factors could have a material adverse effect on our future international
sales. Any further reduction in international sales, or our failure to further
develop our international distribution channels, could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our
international revenue is currently denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result,
fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may make
Websense Enterprise more expensive for international customers, which could
harm our business. We do not currently engage in currency hedging activities to
limit the risk of exchange rate fluctuation.

The market for EIM products continues to emerge, and if we are not successful
in promoting awareness of the need for Websense Enterprise and of our Websense
brand, our growth may be limited.

Based on our experience with potential customers, we believe that many
corporations do not recognize or acknowledge the existence or scope of problems
caused by employee misuse of the Internet. In addition, there may be a
time-limited opportunity to achieve and maintain a significant share of the
market for EIM products due in part to the emerging nature of this market and
the substantial resources available to our existing and potential competitors.
If employers do not recognize or acknowledge these problems, then the market
for Websense Enterprise may develop more slowly than we expect, which could
adversely affect our operating results. Developing and maintaining awareness of
our Websense brand is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of our
existing and future EIM products. Furthermore, we believe that the importance
of brand recognition will increase as competition in our market develops.
Successful promotion of our Websense brand will depend largely on the
effectiveness of our marketing efforts and on our ability to develop reliable
and useful products at competitive prices. If we fail to successfully promote
our Websense brand, or if our expenses to promote and maintain our Websense
brand are greater than anticipated, our results of operations and financial
condition could suffer.

Because we recognize revenue from subscriptions for Websense Enterprise ratably
over the term of the subscription, downturns in sales may not be immediately
reflected in our revenue.

We expect that nearly all of our revenue for the foreseeable future will come
from subscriptions to Websense Enterprise. Upon execution of a subscription
agreement, we invoice our customers for the full term of the subscription
agreement. We then recognize revenue from customers monthly over the terms of
their subscription agreements which typically have durations of 12, 24 or 36
months. As a result, a majority of the revenue we report in each quarter is
deferred revenue from subscription agreements entered into and paid for during
previous quarters. Because of this financial model, the revenue we report in
any quarter or series of quarters may mask significant downturns in sales and
the market acceptance of Websense Enterprise.

We may not be able to develop acceptable new products or enhancements to our
existing products at a rate required by our rapidly changing market.

Our future success depends on our ability to develop new products or
enhancements to our existing products that keep pace with rapid technological
developments and that address the changing needs of our customers. Although
Websense Enterprise is designed to operate with a variety of network hardware
and software platforms, we will need to continuously modify and enhance
Websense Enterprise to keep pace with changes in Internet-related hardware,
software, communication, browser and database technologies. We may not be
successful in either developing such products or timely introducing them to the
market. In addition, uncertainties about the timing and nature of new network
platforms or technologies, or modifications to existing platforms or
technology, could increase our research and development expenses. The failure
of our products to operate effectively with the existing and future network
platforms and technologies will limit or reduce the market for our products,
result in customer dissatisfaction and seriously harm our business, results of
operations and financial condition.

If we acquire any companies or technologies in the future, they could prove
difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and
adversely affect our operating results.

We may acquire or make investments in complementary companies, services and
technologies in the future. We have not made any acquisitions or investments to
date, and therefore our ability as an organization to make acquisitions or
investments is unproven.

Acquisitions and investments involve numerous risks, including:



| |  | difficulties in integrating operations, technologies, services and personnel;      
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 
| |  | diversion of financial and management resources from existing operations;          
| 
| |  | risk of entering new markets;                                                      
| 
| |  | potential loss of key employees; and                                               
| 
| |  | inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset acquisition or investment costs.

In addition, if we finance acquisitions by issuing convertible debt or equity
securities, our existing stockholders may be diluted which could affect the
market price of our stock. As a result, if we fail to properly evaluate and
execute acquisitions or investments, our business and prospects may be
seriously harmed.

We must develop and expand our indirect sales channels to increase revenue and
improve our operating results.

We currently sell a significant majority of our products indirectly. We intend
to continue to rely on our indirect sales channels for a significant majority
of revenue. We depend on our indirect sales channels, including value-added
resellers, distributors, and providers of managed Internet services, to offer
Websense Enterprise to a larger customer base than can be reached through a
direct sales effort. We will need to expand our existing relationships and
enter into new relationships to increase our current and future market share
and revenue. We may be unable to maintain and expand our existing relationships
or enter into new relationships on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If
we are unable to maintain and expand our existing relationships or enter into
new relationships, we would lose customer introductions and co-marketing
benefits and our operating results could suffer.

Our reliance on indirect sales channels could result in reduced revenue growth
because we have little control over our value-added resellers, distributors and
original equipment manufacturers.

Our indirect sales channels accounted for more than 75% of our revenue in the
first nine months of 2002 and for more than 90% of our revenue in the first
nine months of 2001. We anticipate that sales from our various indirect sales
channels, including value-added resellers, distributors, providers of managed
Internet services and others, will continue to account for a significant
majority of our total revenue in future periods. None of these parties is
obligated to continue selling our products or to make any purchases from us.
Our ability to generate increased revenue depends significantly upon the
ability and willingness of our indirect sales channels to market and sell our
products to organizations worldwide. If they are unsuccessful in their efforts,
our operating results will suffer. We cannot control the level of effort these
parties expend or the extent to which any of them will be successful in
marketing and selling our products. A number of our value-added resellers and
distributors have been adversely affected by the current global economic
downturn and we believe that their financial difficulties may negatively impact
their ability to sell and market Websense Enterprise. Some of our indirect
sales channels also market and sell products that compete with Websense
Enterprise or may decide to do so in the future. We may not be able to prevent
these parties from devoting greater resources to support our competitors
products and/or eliminating their efforts to sell Websense Enterprise.

We have a history of losses and, because we expect our operating expenses to
increase in the future, we may not be able to maintain profitability.

In 2001, we achieved profitability for the first time since 1996. Prior to the
third quarter of 2001, we had experienced net losses in each of our previous 21
fiscal quarters, and as of September 30, 2002, we had an accumulated deficit of
$7.5 million. We may be unable to maintain profitability unless our revenue
continues to increase at a greater rate than our operating expenses. We
currently expect our operating expenses to increase substantially, as we, among
other things:



| |  | expand our domestic and international selling and marketing activities;                                                  
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 
| |  | expand our product offerings;                                                                                            
| 
| |  | increase our research and development efforts to upgrade our existing products and develop new products and technologies;
| 
| |  | develop and expand our proprietary database and systems;                                                                 
| 
| |  | upgrade our operational and financial systems, procedures and controls; and                                              
| 
| |  | hire additional personnel, including sales and marketing personnel, engineers and other technical staff.

We will need to increase our revenue to maintain profitability. If we fail to
increase revenue from subscription fees for Websense Enterprise, we may
experience losses in future quarters. If we continue to grow, we also may fail
to accurately estimate and assess the associated increase in our operating
expenses. If our operating expenses exceed our expectations, our financial
performance will be adversely affected.

We are an early-stage company with an unproven business model, which makes it
difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects.

We have only a limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of
our current business and future prospects. We began offering our EIM software
in September 1996, but only since May 1998, when we released our first version
of Websense Enterprise as a significant enhancement to our original product,
have we directed a majority of our focus on this market. We introduced the most
recent version of Websense Enterprise in April 2002 and expect to release the
next version in the first quarter of 2003. As a result, the revenue and income
potential of our business and our market are unproven. In addition, we have
very limited historical data with respect to subscription renewals because we
sell subscriptions that range from one to three years in length and have been
selling Websense Enterprise for five years. Further, because of our limited
operating history and because the market for EIM products is relatively new and
rapidly evolving, we have limited insight into trends that may emerge and
affect our business. We may make errors in predicting and reacting to relevant
business trends, which could harm our business. In making an investment
decision with respect to our stock, you should carefully consider the risks,
uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies
in new and rapidly evolving markets such as ours. We may not be able to
successfully address any or all of these risks. Failure to adequately do so
could cause our business, results of operations and financial condition to
suffer.

Negative economic conditions in the United States and in the other countries
and geographic areas in which we offer our products may negatively impact our
ability to maintain profitability.

During 2001 and 2002, the United States and other international markets in
which we offer our products experienced a significant economic downturn. In
addition, the United States and other countries suffered significant acts of
hostility and terror. These or similar acts in the future may increase or
prolong the negative economic conditions. The economic downturn may impact our
ability to sustain profitability by:



| |  | negatively affecting demand for our products and services;                 
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 
| |  | decreasing the renewal rate of subscriptions by our existing customers; and
| 
| |  | decreasing the strength of our indirect sales channels.                    

In addition, the economic downturn may force companies to prioritize
expenditures, and these companies may decide not to purchase our product in a
slowing economy. There can be no certainty as to the degree or severity of the
duration of this downturn. We also cannot predict the extent and timing of the
impact of the economic downturn in the United States and in other countries and
geographic regions in which we conduct our business.

Any failure to protect our intellectual property rights could impair our
ability to protect our proprietary technology and establish our Websense brand.

Intellectual property is critical to our success, and we rely upon trademark,
copyright and trade secret laws in the United States and other jurisdictions as
well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our
proprietary technology and our Websense brand. Any of our trademarks may be
challenged by others or invalidated through administrative process or
litigation. We currently have no issued patents and may be unable to obtain
patent protection in the future. In addition, any issued patents may not
provide us with any competitive advantages, or may be challenged by third
parties. Furthermore, legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability
and scope of protection of intellectual property rights are uncertain.
Effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be
available to us in every country in which our products are available. The laws
of some foreign countries may not be as protective of intellectual property
rights as United States laws, and mechanisms for enforcement of intellectual
property rights may be inadequate. As a result our means of protecting our
proprietary technology and brands may not be adequate. Furthermore, despite our
efforts, we may be unable to prevent third parties from infringing upon or
misappropriating our intellectual property, including the misappropriation or
misuse of the content of our proprietary database of websites. Any such
infringement or misappropriation could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary
rights.

The software and Internet industries are characterized by the existence of a
large number of patents, trademarks and copyrights and by frequent litigation
based on allegations of patent infringement or other violations of intellectual
property rights. As the number of entrants into our market increases, the
possibility of an intellectual property claim against us grows. Our
technologies and products may not be able to withstand any third-party claims
or rights against their use. Any intellectual property claims, with or without
merit, could be time-consuming and expensive to litigate or settle, and could
divert management attention from executing our business plan.

Our database categories and our process for classifying Web sites within those
categories are subjective, and we may not be able to categorize Web sites in
accordance with our customers expectations.

We may not succeed in accurately categorizing Internet content to meet our
customers expectations. We rely upon a combination of automated filtering
technology and human review to categorize Web sites in our proprietary
database. Our customers may not agree with our determinations that particular
Web sites should be included or not included in specific categories of our
database. In addition, it is possible that our filtering processes may place
objectionable material in categories that are generally unrestricted by our
users Internet access policies, which could result in employees having access
to such material in the workplace. Any miscategorization could result in
customer dissatisfaction and harm our reputation. Furthermore, we select our
categories based on Web site content we believe employers want to manage. We
may not now, or in the future, succeed in properly identifying the categories
of Web site content that employers want to manage. Any failure to effectively
categorize and filter Web sites according to our customers expectations will
impair the growth of our business and our efforts to increase brand acceptance.

Our database may fail to keep pace with the rapid growth and technological
change of the Internet.

The success of Websense Enterprise depends on the breadth and accuracy of our
database. Although our database currently catalogs 3.9 million Web sites, it
contains only a fraction of the material available on the Internet. In
addition, the total number of Web sites is growing rapidly, and we expect this
rapid growth rate to continue in the future. Our database and database
technologies may not be able to keep pace with the growth in the number of Web
sites, especially the growing number of Web sites containing foreign languages.
Further, the ongoing evolution of the Internet will require us to continually
improve the functionality, features and reliability of our database. Because
Websense Enterprise can only manage access to Web sites included in our
database, if our database does not contain a meaningful portion of relevant Web
sites, the effectiveness of Websense Enterprise will be significantly
diminished. Any failure of our database to keep pace with the rapid growth and
technological change of the Internet will impair the market acceptance of
Websense Enterprise, which in turn will harm our business, results of
operations and financial condition.

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly, and these
fluctuations may cause our stock price to fall.

Our quarterly operating results have varied significantly in the past, and will
likely vary in the future primarily as the result of fluctuations in our
operating expenses. We expect that our operating expenses will increase
substantially in the future as we expand our selling and marketing activities,
increase our research and development efforts and hire additional personnel. In
addition, our operating expenses historically have fluctuated, and may continue
to fluctuate in the future, as the result of the factors described below and
elsewhere in this quarterly report:



| |  | concentration of marketing expenses for activities such as trade shows and advertising campaigns;                
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 
| |  | concentration of general and administrative expenses, such as recruiting expenses and professional services fees;
| 
| |  | concentration of research and development costs; and                                                             
| 
| |  | concentration of expenses associated with commissions paid on sales of subscriptions to Websense Enterprise.     

As a result, it is possible that in some future periods, our results of
operations may not meet the expectations of current or potential investors. If
this occurs, the price of our common stock may decline.

The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and
subject to wide fluctuations.

The market price of our common stock has been and likely will continue to be
highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a
number of factors that are beyond our control, including:



| |  | announcements of technological innovations or new products or services by our competitors;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 
| |  | demand for Websense Enterprise, including fluctuations in subscription renewals;          
| 
| |  | fluctuations in revenue from our indirect sales channels;                                 
| 
| |  | changes in the pricing policies of our competitors; and                                   
| 
| |  | changes in government regulations.

In addition, the market price of our common stock could be subject to wide
fluctuations in response to:



| |  | announcements of technological innovations or new products or services by us;                      
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 
| |  | changes in our pricing policies;

| 
| |  | our technological capabilities to accommodate the future growth in our operations or our customers.

Further, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume
fluctuations that have particularly affected the market price of the stock of
many Internet-related companies, and that often have been unrelated or
disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. A number of
publicly traded Internet-related companies have current market prices below
their initial public offering prices. Market fluctuations such as these may
seriously harm the market price of our common stock. In the past, securities
class action suits have been filed following periods of market volatility in
the price of a companys securities. If such an action were instituted, we
would incur substantial costs and a diversion of management attention and
resources, which would seriously harm our business, results of operations and
financial condition.

We may need to raise additional funds in the future, which may not be available
on acceptable terms or at all and which may cause dilution.

We expect that our operating expenses will increase substantially over at least
the next 12 months. In addition, we may experience a material decrease in
liquidity due to unforeseen capital requirements or other events and
uncertainties. As a result, we may need to raise additional funds, and such
funds may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. An additional equity
financing would reduce the percentage of ownership of our existing
stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive
covenants, which may limit our operating flexibility. Stockholders may
experience additional dilution in net book value per share and any additional
equity securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those
of the holders of our common stock. If we cannot raise funds on acceptable
terms, we may not be able to develop or enhance our software applications or
database, execute on our business plan, take advantage of future opportunities
or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements. This may
seriously harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Future sales of our common stock may cause our stock price to decline.

The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales by our
existing stockholders of large numbers of shares of our common stock or the
perception that such sales could occur. These sales also might make it more
difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a
price that we deem appropriate.

Our systems may be vulnerable to security risks or service disruptions that
could harm our business.

Our servers are vulnerable to physical or electronic break-ins and service
disruptions, which could lead to interruptions, delays, loss of data or the
inability to process customer requests. Such events could be very expensive to
remedy, could damage our reputation and could discourage existing and potential
customers from using our products. We may experience break-ins in the future.
Any such events could substantially harm our business, results of operations
and financial condition.

Because our products are complex and are deployed in a wide variety of complex
network environments, they may have errors or defects that users identify after
deployment, which could harm our reputation and our business.

Products as complex as ours frequently contain undetected errors when first
introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. We have from time
to time found errors in versions of Websense Enterprise, and we may find such
errors in the future. The occurrence of errors could adversely affect sales of
our products, divert the attention of engineering personnel from our product
development efforts and cause significant customer relations problems.

Evolving regulation of the Internet may affect us adversely.

As Internet commerce continues to evolve, increasing regulation by federal,
state or foreign agencies becomes more likely. Such regulation is likely in the
areas of user privacy, pricing, content and quality of products and services.
Taxation of Internet use or other charges imposed by government agencies or by
private organizations for accessing the Internet may also be imposed. Laws and
regulations applying to the solicitation, collection or processing of personal
or consumer information could affect our activities. Furthermore, any
regulation imposing fees for Internet use could result in a decline in the use
of the Internet and the viability of Internet commerce, which could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.

The success of our business depends on the continued growth and acceptance of
the Internet as a business tool.

Expansion in the sales of Websense Enterprise depends on the continued
acceptance of the Internet as a communications and commerce platform for
enterprises. The Internet may not prove to be a viable commercial medium due to
inadequate development of the necessary infrastructure, such as a reliable
network backbone, or timely development of complementary products, such as
high-speed modems. Additionally, the Internet could lose its viability as a
business tool due to delays in the development or adoption of new standards and
protocols to handle increased demands of Internet activity, security,
reliability, cost, ease-of-use, accessibility, and quality-of-service. If the
Internet does not continue to become a widespread communications medium and
commercial platform, the demand for Websense Enterprise could be significantly
reduced, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.

Our products create risks of potential negative publicity and legal liability.

Because customers rely on Websense Enterprise to provide EIM, any significant
defects or errors in our products may result in negative publicity or legal
claims. Negative publicity or legal claims could seriously harm our business,
results of operations and financial condition. In addition, Websense
Enterprises capability to report Internet data retrieval requests and the
workstations from which they originated may result in negative publicity or
legal claims based on potential privacy violations.

We are dependent on our management team, and the loss of any key member of this
team may prevent us from implementing our business plan in a timely manner.

Our success depends largely upon the continued services of our executive
officers and other key management and development personnel. We are also
substantially dependent on the continued service of our existing engineering
personnel because of the complexity of our products and technologies. We do not
have employment agreements with a majority of our executive officers, key
management or development personnel and, therefore, they could terminate their
employment with us at any time without penalty. We do not maintain key person
life insurance policies on any of our employees. The loss of one or more of our
key employees could seriously harm our business, results of operations and
financial condition. In such an event we may be unable to recruit personnel to
replace these individuals in a timely manner, or at all, on acceptable terms.

Our growth could strain our personnel and infrastructure resources, and if we
are unable to implement appropriate controls and procedures to manage our
growth, we may not be able to successfully implement our business plan.

We are currently experiencing a period of rapid growth in our operations, which
has placed, and will continue to place, a significant strain on our management,
administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. Our future success
will depend in part upon the ability of our senior management to manage growth
effectively. This will require us to hire and train additional personnel to
manage our expanding operations. In addition, we will be required to continue
to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting
systems and procedures. If we fail to successfully manage our growth, we will
be unable to execute our business plan.

Because competition for our target employees is intense, we may not be able to
attract and retain the highly skilled employees we need to support our planned
growth.

To execute our growth plan, we must attract and retain highly qualified
personnel. We need to hire additional personnel in virtually all operational
areas, including selling and marketing, research and development, operations
and technical support, customer service and administration. Competition for
these personnel is intense, especially for engineers with high levels of
experience in designing and developing software and Internet-related products.
We may not be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel. We
have from time to time in the past experienced, and we expect to continue to
experience in the future, difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled
employees with appropriate qualifications. Many of the companies with which we
compete for experienced personnel have greater resources than we have. If we
fail to attract new personnel or retain and motivate our current personnel, our
business and future growth prospects could be severely harmed.

It may be difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be
beneficial to our stockholders.

Some provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as some
provisions of Delaware law, may discourage, delay or prevent third parties from
acquiring us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. For
example, our certificate of incorporation provides for a classified board, with
each board member serving a staggered three-year term. It also provides that
stockholders may not fill board vacancies, call stockholder meetings or act by
written consent. Our bylaws further provide that advance written notice is
required prior to stockholder proposals. Each of these provisions makes it more
difficult for stockholders to obtain control of our board or initiate actions
that are opposed by the then current board. Additionally, we have authorized
preferred stock that is undesignated, making it possible for the board to issue
preferred stock with voting or other rights and preferences that could impede
the success of any attempted change of control. Delaware law also could make it
more difficult for a third party to acquire us. Section 203 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to
transactions not approved in advance by our board, including discouraging
attempts that might result in a premium over the market price of the shares of
common stock held by our stockholders.

We do not intend to pay dividends.

We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock since we
have been a publicly-traded company. We currently intend to retain any future
cash flows from operations to fund growth and, therefore, do not expect to pay
any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our market risk exposures are related to our cash, cash equivalents and
investments. We invest our excess cash in highly liquid investments, commercial
paper, corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed securities. These investments are
not held for trading or other speculative purposes. Changes in interest rates
affect the investment income we earn on our investments and, therefore impact
our cash flows and results of operations.

We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily from our
available-for-sale investments. Under our current policies, we do not use
interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate
changes. A hypothetical 100 basis point adverse move in interest rates along
the entire interest rate yield curve would not materially affect the fair value
of our interest sensitive financial instruments at September 30, 2002. Declines
in interest rates over time will, however, reduce our interest income.

We mitigate our foreign currency risks principally by contracting primarily in
U.S. dollars and maintaining only nominal foreign currency cash balances.
Working funds necessary to facilitate the short term operations of our
subsidiaries are kept in the local currencies in which they do business. For
the quarter ended September 30, 2002, all of our billings, including those
billed by our operations in Ireland, were denominated in our functional
currency, which is the U.S. dollar.




Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that we are
able to collect the information we are required to disclose in the reports we
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and to record, process,
summarize and report this information within the time periods specified in the
rules of the SEC. Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and
procedures which took place as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of
this report, our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers have concluded
that these controls and procedures are effective.

We also maintain a system of internal controls designed to provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are executed in accordance with managements
general or specific authorization and that transactions are recorded as
necessary (1) to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, and (2) to maintain accountability
for assets. Access to assets is permitted only in accordance with managements
general or specific authorization, and the recorded accountability for assets
is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate
action is taken with respect to any differences.

Since the date of the most recent evaluation of our internal controls by our
Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, there have been no significant
changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect our internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to
significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

(d)  On March 28, 2000, we completed our initial public offering for the sale of
4,000,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $18 per share,
which resulted in net proceeds of $65.7 million after payment of the
underwriters commissions and deductions of offering expenses. The
registration statement (No. 333-95619) relating to our initial public offering
was declared effective on March 28, 2000. Subsequent to our initial public
offering, a portion of the offering proceeds were used to repay the $1.4
million balance of our fixed term loan agreements with financial institutions.
The remaining proceeds have conformed with our intended use outlined in the
prospectus related to such offering. We currently have approximately $64.3
million remaining from our IPO proceeds.
